People ask questions, God answers by His Word

Answer: Not at all. That gives me the chance to bless those who cannot control their jealousy. My fate is no different than that of all the servants of God who preached the Word. As the Apostle Paul writes, “… by honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true …” (2. Cor. 6:8). When, for instance, untruths and slander are being circulated in the publication “Contender”, or in a book about the seven thunders, or in open letters, or even from the pulpits and in the internet, with the sole purpose of undermining the divine influence of the God-ordained ministry, then I know that Satan is using those people. He did that with all of God’s servants.

The Lord Jesus Who called me gives me the strength every day to share the true Word of God with all the true believers. In spite of all the reproach I must bear, I can only wish well to the old and the new enemies of the truth. Those who in their day persecuted the prophets, the Lord, and the apostles, were the religious leaders, but in reality they were spiritually blind and tried leading the blind.

The actual nature of the seed will manifest itself. You can never pick figs from a thorn bush, nor can you draw sweet and bitter water from the same well. Some love in the way of Cain (1. Jn. 3:11-12), which manifested itself in murder back then, and today it appears in the form of character assassination. Cain, with his jealousy, and Abel, who was pleasing to the Lord, are very exemplary placed before us. Envy and jealousy produce hatred and hatred leads to fratricide.

Quote: “You don’t have to stick a knife in a man’s back to kill him; you can break his character and kill him, kill his influence. Speak against your pastor here, say something bad about him, you just might as well as shot him; told something that wasn’t right about him, will, it’ll kill his influence with the people and things like that, and you’re guilty of it.” (Golden Nuggets, pg. 167).

Isaac and Ishmael were born of the same father, but he that was born after the flesh hated the one that was born according to the promise, “Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit, even so it is now.” (Gal. 4:23-30). It can never be the other way around. There is no cover-up possible. “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” (1. Jn. 3:15). That is the plain truth. Whoever hates and thereby kills his brother actually commits spiritual suicide, for that person loses the eternal life.
