WOE

Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. ~Jude 1:11

You were running the race well; who has interfered and prevented you from obeying the truth? ~Galatians 5:7

This is a warning to those leaders who have been duked and supported of and by the ideology of countryism, capitalism, colonialism, churchism, and celebrityism; to those social media influencers/pastors who are the self-indulgent, exploitive, pharisaical, hypocritical, prosperity preachers of the pass and the Lord is saying to them now as He declared in Jeremiah 45:4_Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I pull down those whom I have built up, and I pluck up those whom I have planted. Paul mirrors God's word by saying: We are destroying (tearing down, demolishing) every sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ (Reconstruction), being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience as a church is complete.

When all is said and done, know that God sees and cares for his flock, for he is the Good Shepherd, and that's why Jude ends his letter to the Church with these words:

"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."

And in conclusion and at that end, God is saying and has put this declaration out: Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!”

Be well and stay blessed,
