Don’t Create Jesus in Your Image

Teaching: Kept By The Power Of God pt. 1 (SUN_AM 2024-05-12) by Pastor Star R Scott
There are all kinds of women’s meetings. Women’s ministries are never to be in a position of usurping authority over men, especially over their husbands and those that are representing the kingdom of God, the Lordship of Jesus, the eldership that has been placed within the church. So, Satan is today doing everything in his power to oppose God through these silly doctrines that are being promoted in our hour. Have you noticed how popular it has been in the last couple of decades for co-pastorates? The wives, because they are married to the pastor, become co-pastors. You don’t marry into the ministry; you’re called of God. Amen? Many times, these positions are given through the preferring of and being a respecter of persons. What is it that we’re to be teaching today? In the last day, silly women are going to go from house to house and come up with all kinds of doctrines contrary to the order of God. Satan will do everything to try to reverse the curse, the judgment that was put upon a self-willed Eve in the garden of Eden. There was a judgment placed upon womanhood, and God will not lift it. And God will not bow to it, though men in these last days worship themselves and love themselves instead of being lovers of God, of sound doctrine, of His kingdom.
So, what are we going to do in this hour when there’s such a powerful deception that’s taking place? Let’s remind ourselves that this road that you and I are traveling is a road within a road. The straight and narrow path is the path within a wide path of professed believers—not pagans. Self-professed Christians believe they’re in the kingdom of God and yet living unto themselves, not enduring sound doctrine, the Scripture says. Lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but having no power evidencing itself over their flesh to walk in obedience and discipline to the Holy Ghost. And because of that, they are tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, by the slight of men. A generation wanting to have their ears tickled and told that they’re right with God. We’ve said it over and over: we’re living in a day when men are creating Jesus in their image, and because of that, they will make statements like, “My Jesus would never do that.” And that’s the truth; their Jesus never would. But the Jesus of the Bible demands that we come out and be separate, touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you (2 Corinthians 6:17); amen? The Jesus of the Bible will judge all of these blasphemers, those that are mocking God, and those that are filling the house of God with entertainment for the flesh.
