ONE HUNDREDFOLD PERSECUTION
What breeds persecution? Jealousy, envy, and lack of spiritual insight! Everyone in a false kingdom breeds persecution! Their warped theology! NOW let's dig and see why everyone is not receiving a hundredfold promises that Jesus spoke out of His lips. I want to eat the bread at the table of the Lord. How about you? After the rich young man was denied access into the kingdom of God, Jesus spoke to His disciples and they said, "Wow, then who can be saved?” Peter, soon to be one of the 12 apostles, says, "Lord, I have done all of that." In three different gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) - in three different ways - Jesus says: "Hundredfold houses, family, lands, and so on." And He said, "In this time and the World to come." But don't forget - then He said, "WITH PERSECUTION." Wow, so what is scripture saying? This time! This time means now! Now is always now!
What is this persecution? From whom does persecution come? From earthly family and friends and from the religious people! Persecution always comes from people who look at you and think that they should have the same that you have and be the same that you are! Look at Cain and Abel! Abel’s blessing got him so persecuted! It got him killed. Listening to the wrong theology will stop what God has for you as well. Jealousy is not the work of the Spirit. Hating your brother is a work of hell. God said, "If you do well, would I bless you?" To be accepted by God is to be blessed by Him.
It was God’s acceptance and blessing on Abel that made Cain so angry! Because Cain believed that he worked harder than Abel! Look at what he did!! "I'm digging, planting, and working my tail off. There’s Abel here feeding the flock, doing nothing." So his religious mindset made him have wrath against his brother! Religion always gets their acceptance from what they do, not who they are! It is HEART VERSES WORKS! Cain had the same attitude that Martha had in a way. Both wanted to impress God by what they do! BOTH WERE MAKING THEIR SACRIFICES, but only one was rewarded. Both presented their sacrifices, but God always looks at the heart. Why are we doing what we do and how are we doing it? Unto the Lord or to be seen by man?
God gets pleased by us seeking Him and who He is, NOT by what you can get or do for HIM! We must be fascinated by His goodness and His mercy! NOW remember the cross. We must see the need to be with Him, just Him! When Jesus spoke to the rich man after he had been denied, He said, "He who comes after Me and does not forsake father, mother, brothers, cannot be My disciple." Then He goes on to say, "He who does not pick up his cross is not worthy to be My disciple." The cross is your earthly sacrifice, giving up this World for the Kingdom. Religion lives by their warped doctrines. They don't sacrifice anything but they want the kingdom. It cannot work that way. Because of American heresy preaching false blessings, false grace, and false love, they distort the Word of God. By their emotions and false Christ, they are always learning and never coming to the knowledge of the Truth. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him!!! Most people want everything but do not give up anything!
We have gone so far away from sound doctrine. We have all kinds of doctrines without the cross. It is the "Name and Claim" garbage. It comes from a gospel of DEMONS! That is irrelevant to them! Today, many have manmade gospels of their own kind. Wonder why they are not persecuted or blessed?
LOOK AT THESE:
ENOCH: Enoch walked with God! And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
DAVID: He had a heart after God!
SOLOMON: When he was asked what he wanted from God - he asked for wisdom - to care for and to lead the kingdom! God gave him both!
These people had only one need: to be with Him, just with Him! We must realize when we have God, we have it all.
God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! If there is always a sacrifice, there is always persecution! If there is Jesus, there is a seething hatred from all when you let go of all and forsake all. You will be persecuted for that.
If you do not obtain the kingdom, there are three things going on:
1. You’re rebellious and don’t obey! (But you have been convinced that you do obey. It is called deception. Fruit speaks even when we lie.)
2. You have money issues and stop the kingdom! The kingdom of God stops at you or you will not help to advance it! (Because of the wrong doctrine of looking at the wrong people who rob the kingdom, you stop sowing. Then it worked: Satan got you stuck.)
3. You are just not in the faith! Fear torments you and stops you and your faith is shaken! (You need to go back to your first love or to be saved.)
Doers do! There is not another way! There is always a difference between religious and righteous: The religious sacrifice to be seen of man! The righteous sacrifice in their heart to be seen of God! It is their intention to move God and He will never forget! Even in David’s time of sin, God hid Himself from him, but never left Him!! Because of his HEART!!
There is a difference between a religious sacrifice and a God sacrifice! Saul made his religious sacrifice on the outside and David did his sacrifice in his heart. When one person sacrifices and the other person does not, that brings persecution on the one that sacrificed. That’s what we have in the BODY today, a spirit of Cain. Persecution from within! For example, God promised to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask, but look at those children who don't get it. Because they are not righteous and because they are not getting it, they attack those who are getting it. A divided house can't be blessed! Both children believing and having the same Father: one being blessed, the other persecuting the blessed one. It is all throughout the Bible for a reason. So you can have a guide and a warning.
Think about the 12 apostles and martyrs! They received their hundredfold, for sure, with persecution in this time! But they forsook all! Today, no one is forsaking much but they all want the kingdom! We have cheapened God to be a genie in a bottle or a God of our own making. Just because we have faith, we make Him do whatever we want, but you will receive nothing.
They have followed a "Bethel philosophy" filled with man’s understanding! They are the fruit of gospels without the cross, married to the seven mountains, kissing Baal all week then believing they can have the kingdom. What kingdom? The Babylon kingdom.
The word forsake means: abandon (someone or something), desert, leave, quit, depart from, leave behind, leave high and dry, turn one's back on, cast aside, give up, reject. More: renounce or give up (something valued or pleasant), renounce, give up, relinquish, dispense with, forgo, desist from, forswear, disclaim, disown, disavow, discard, set aside, wash one's hands of, turn one's back on, repudiate, have done with; withdraw, drop, do away with. Wow! How do we miss that? This is why the World receives and loves them. But Jesus said, "We are hated because of Him." Time to do the math. Time to wake up.
People will say, "You are not loving like Christ." Exactly! I am. Because I am obeying every single thing for His sake. There is no greater love than this. Lay down your life and your will for Him. There is the blessing!
In the kingdom of God, you are connected to the body in one way, form, or fashion! Maybe little or big! Forsaking the love for money is something hard to do for some. But the Word says that it is the root of all evil! So a sure sign of a renegade spirit is a person who does not put their mammon into the kingdom outside of themselves! The devil has you believing religious doctrines because of advancements, focusing on the seven mountains when we are to flee them. Has it ever occurred to you that usually just their teachers and the heads of these doctrines and a selected few are their poster boys? Everyone else is running to and fro, trying to copy them when we all are supposed to be blessed with a hundredfold. In the kingdom is rest and multiplication. In the World, we strive, trying to be at the right conference, meeting the right people, blah, blah, blah...
So you see yourself divided. And a house divided cannot stand! A kingdom divided cannot stand. Unless if a root of bitterness springs up from jealousy, how can you receive the blessing! Wrong theology defiles us. It will divide us and will make you be hated. You either master money or it will become your master, even if you don't have any of it.
This religion does bring sorrow. They tell God, "I follow but let me keep my idols, let me keep my so and so, let me hold onto the world…!" Look at Lot and Abraham!
What we give up comes back to us and hundredfold! Religious people love to judge that which they know not of!! Like Abraham’s blessing!! What did God test Abraham with before he really got it? Yes. With Isaac. Even when we are focusing on the blessing, God will make sure that blessing won't become an idol. We focus on Christ! That’s why we are talking about persecution – because it is the sign of the blessing.
Cain’s curse was dry land! No family, no blessing, no favor! Vagabond! How many Christians are living like that!! The righteous are never forsaken but the rebellious are always in NEED!
The main blessing of Abraham was his name being changed! God blew His breath on Abraham and changed his name and nature. ABRAHAM! RUACH ELOHIM! The breath of God – HIS PRESENCE COME TO HIM. IT’S HIS PRESENCE, way more precious than Isaac. Remember his name change! That WAS the blessing! We must know the power of God and His presence. These are what get older brother jealous and make him angry because, in religion, all are the same and are supposed to be blessed, but they don't count on the persecution that comes with it.
This is what they hate you for!! They will do all they can to get into the camp of Cain! Now we have camps!! Religion is Cain’s camp! This is the curse: to know God but not to have His breath, the ruach of God! His presence is Him. God is the blessing. In Him are all things. So you say you have God; so let's see the fruit of His presence.
Don’t you know to be a friend of the world is to be separated from God? Religion wants both but there is only one sacrifice that God receives: FORSAKING!! Until Abraham forsook Lot, he was stuck. If you are stuck that means you still have strong soul ties with your own will, friends, family, jobs, etc. This World has you or your family has you. Remember: it was not riches that kept that man out. Jesus clearly said to me: it was his TRUST in riches. Big difference.
The Kingdom of God is like a field. But when that man slept, an enemy came and sowed tears!! Wake up! The Kingdom of God is like a treasure in a field! Are you willing to buy it? It’s really what we give up now in our hearts more than in our flesh! Put all your trust in Him. Don't listen to those who talk about the kingdom but can’t even pay their bills.
If we can’t forsake all, we can’t sit at His table. If we can’t pick up our cross, we can’t be His disciples. Nobody counts the cost. They don’t pick up the cross. The blessing cost Him and cost you everything.
There is a difference between saying a prayer and giving up your life. It is not a matter of giving all to the poor (many in the World do that), but it is a matter of forsaking all. You can’t have two kingdoms. You either master it or it becomes your master. People in the Body are being torn apart. If I have two parts pulling me in opposite directions, I go nowhere. Two forces pulling to two different directions. I go nowhere.
Even with family, they will begin to hate you because of your sacrifice towards the kingdom (they feel you abandoning them so they put guilt on you). You are not giving your all. Half and half. They will put false love and witchcraft on you. Don't listen to them. Listen to Jesus Christ. He is the finisher of your faith.
The religious always want to tell you what is of God and what’s not of God! THEY ARE EXCUSE MAKERS NOT FRUIT MAKERS!!! When we can even perceive His ways are not our ways, they want to force their ways with their warped interpretation of scriptures!
What do you need to build His Kingdom? WELL, I TELL YOU THIS: FIRST THING YOU NEED IS HIM! Then will come the natural provision just like the provision that was passed down from Abraham all the way to Solomon to build a TEMPLE! People that were not even in Him brought provision! Come on! Religious renegades cannot understand because they are not in the blessing! They must use scripture to look and cover themselves, just like fig leaves. But be aware: the minute that blessing becomes an idol, God says, "Give it to me! Now!" No matter what we have, it is all His. So let’s steward Him and the Truth well.
Who can handle 100% persecution? God will make you able to handle it, but are you willing? With God all things are possible. So let's go and take the kingdom and serve the King, not ourselves and not false doctrines.
