That's a Fair Question, Isn't It?

Let me ask you the question that wrecked me... Be honest. If your doctor's treatment produces similar results as your PASTOR, would you get a second opinion—or, keep to yourself, stay out of trouble, keep your mouth shut and just DIE, albeit slowly, but with tickled ears and in comfort? But Jesus said,

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19–20

If you're still showing up to church week after week, year after year, without true spiritual transformation, without maturity, without multiplying disciples... WHY CONTINUE TO GO? Tradition? If you are not seeing results in yourself and others, why do you continue to go, because you feel guilty if you didn't? Would you continue seeing the doctor who brought forth no good results?

“But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21–22

If there is no discipleship, why would you go? Who sold you the lie that "attending church" equals following Jesus? Is there more to the Kingdom of God than what we are receiving on Sundays? I KNOW SO!

“But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.” James 1:22

Jesus didn't say, "Go into all the world and sit in pews." He said, “Go make disciples of all nations!” How many disciples are being made at your church? How many disciples are making disciples? What if Peter, Paul, and James had not raised disciples who raise disciples, what would have happened? The church would have died right then and there. The same is true today. If we don't raise disciples that raise disciples, the church will die.

Here it is again, THE COMMAND BY KING JESUS;

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19–20

Let’s be clear: if your church isn’t making disciples who make disciples—your church isn’t following Jesus.This isn’t a harsh statement. It’s a TRUE one. And it comes straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ, our King.

We need to confront this head-on. The command Jesus gave before ascending to the right hand of the Father was not to grow crowds, build brands, or curate amazing worship experiences. His final words were a crystal-clear commission, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you….” IT WAS NOT, AND IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE A SUGGESTION.

Notice what Jesus didn’t say:

He didn’t say, “Go plant Sunday services.” He didn’t say, “Go plant a new church.” HE SAID, GO MAKE DISCIPLES OF THE NATION. He didn’t say, “Go make converts who will come back next week for another show.” HE SAID, BAPTIZE THEM INTO THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT. He didn’t say, “Go build a podcast or social media influence with clever reels.” NO, HE SAID, "Go. Make. Disciples."

And then Jesus defined what He means:

Baptize them – This implies repentance, death to self, and a public declaration of your new identity IN CHRIST.
Teach them to obey ALL that I commanded – This means every disciple is trained in obedience, not just knowledge.
Multiply – Disciples don’t stop with themselves. They replicate. They go and do the same.

So, if a local church is not doing this… if there is no culture of disciple-making that multiplies—then no matter how polished the programs are, how great the preaching sounds, or how powerful the worship feels… that church is not obeying Jesus.

Let’s pause and let that burn through the fog of modern religious culture. While we are paused, ask Jesus what He thinks of this article so far. Ask Him as you read this out loud. Ask Jesus to critiques this blog post, ask Him, "Is this true?" Sit down before you ask.

“It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master.” Matthew 10:25a

THE BROKEN LEG THAT NEVER HEALED

“Just give it time,” the doctor said..."

Imagine this... You walk into a clinic with a leg clearly broken. Bone visible. Pain unbearable. The doctor glances, nods, then says, “You just need to be patient. Healing takes time.” He hands you a pamphlet, gives a short talk on “walking by faith,” and sends you home—with no cast, no surgery, no treatment.

You return every week for years. The pain persists. You can’t walk straight. You can’t run. The leg’s crooked. Infected. Fused in the wrong position. You’ve stopped expecting healing. Instead, you’ve learned to cope.

Now, let me ask:

Would you still call that doctor "a good doctor" or a "quack"?
Would you trust their diagnosis again? Ever?
Would you say, “Well, I go to his clinic every Sunday, so at least I’m faithful!”?

No! You’d be suing for malpractice, and the quack doctor would go to jail! Shut that DOWN! But isn’t that exactly what’s happening in our churches in America? Wounded people come in broken, stuck in sin, without healing, without transformation—and all they get is a message on “how to have a blessed life.”

That would not be the Gospel. I don't have words for that. For starters, it's religious malpractice. The truth is... Jesus, our HEALER, HEALED. Jesus cast out demons. Jesus made disciples, who made disciples, who made disciples who healed and cast out demons. We are still enjoying the fruit of the first disciples today. Why is the modern pastor allowed to teach a watered-down lying version of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ? Why? Because you let them.

They Proclaim in Defense, “But we Preach the Gospel Every Sunday!”

That’s good. Praise God. Good for you for doing a part of the command. But the Gospel is not a sermon series—it’s a supernatural invitation into a lifelong process of dying to self, being transformed by Grace, and living IN CHRIST. This process is only sustained and matured through discipleship.

Jesus didn’t say, “Convert the world.” He said, “Disciple the world.” A church that preaches but doesn’t disciple is giving birth without raising children. Imagine a maternity ward where babies are delivered and then abandoned to fend for themselves. That’s what it’s like when we celebrate salvations but ignore Spiritual Formation IN CHRIST.

They Rebutt, “But our Church is Growing!”

Again—growth in numbers doesn’t mean growth in fruit.

“You will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:16

The fruit of obedience is always reproduction. A healthy disciple will make more disciples. A Spirit-filled church will multiply Jesus in people—not just draw people to a building. If you’ve been attending a church for one, three, or even five years and:

You’ve never been personally discipled…
You’ve never been equipped to disciple someone else…
You’ve never been sent out in obedience to Jesus’ command…

Then it’s time to ask, “Whose church is this? Where are the modern-day "first church Apostles," followers of Jesus Christ who healed the sick, cast out demons, and raised the dead just like Jesus?” Because Jesus is transforming us into His image, don't you think we should look more like Him?

Jesus said He is building a Church that obeys His commands (John 14:15), and He doesn’t subcontract out to anyone, especially self-promotion podcasting pastors fueled by good marketing and clever consultants.

THE MODEL JESUS GAVE US

Let’s remember, Jesus made disciples, not just converts. He spent three years walking closely with His followers. He taught them, corrected them, and modeled the Kingdom for them. Then He sent them out to HOMES do exactly what He did, which is to make more disciples.

And those disciples, filled with the Holy Spirit, turned the world upside down—not by building big church followings, but by being obedient to one thing - to make disciples who make disciples who make disciples.

So Let’s Be Blunt:

If your church is not making disciples who make disciples, It’s not following the Great Commission. It’s not walking in full obedience. It’s not aligned with the heart of Jesus. Unless churches and pastors that lead them repent, they are not building His Church, and neither are you! Jesus said:

“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” Luke 6:46

We don’t get to rewrite the mission just because it’s difficult, slow, or doesn’t fill the offering plate.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

It means you, personally, are called to be a disciple who makes disciples. It means you must evaluate your spiritual life—and your church family—not by activity, but by fruit. And it means if your church isn’t doing what Jesus said, you have a holy obligation to:

Pray
Repent
Speak truth in love
Obey Jesus anyway

You don’t need permission to obey the King. You just need to be IN CHRIST—abiding in Him, being led by His Spirit, filled with His Word, and empowered by His Grace. And when you are, disciple-making becomes your default, not your duty.

THE HARPAZO IS COMING. ARE YOU READY?

I’m talking about the snatching away of the Bride—the Rapture. Not a fairy tale. Not a theory. A divine appointment. And it is IMMINENT.

“Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17

Jesus is coming for a Bride who is ALIVE IN HIM, not for a crowd clapping at a concert. He’s coming for those who’ve been made holy, spotless, blameless IN HIM. That means YOU need to know Him—not just know about Him. Do you know Him like you know your best friend, or like a spouse?

“Yet He has now reconciled you in His body of flesh through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach.” Colossians 1:22

Satan knows everything you and I know about Jesus, just a whole lot more. We are clueless compared to satan. Remember, He was once in Heaven, and he's been around for a very long time. He's in the unseen world, and he has an advantage. But get this—Satan won’t be raptured to spend eternity with the King and His Kingdom. BELIEVERS WILL!

“You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.” James 2:19

What will happen to pastors who fail to prepare the Bride for the Rapture (making disciples)? Don’t you think we should know? Personally, at the very least, I think they should be required by us to teach from the whole Bible, preaching from the full Counsel of God's Word.

Think about it for just one second. The coming of the Kingdom of God AND the RAPTURE is in the Bible, taking up about three-quarters of the whole Bible. Jesus prophesied and taught on these two subjects exclusively, thoroughly, and deeply, and never deviated or got distracted. The same is true for the first Century church. It's all recorded in the Bible (Acts). It is detailed in fine print in the last book of the Bible, the REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST. How can so many pastors fail to teach these two subjects and keep their jobs? Because you allow them

Today's American church gets away with failing to make disciples who make disciples because the people in the seats allow them to. It's unconscionable to fail to prepare the Bride of Christ for the HARPAZO! 

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3

LET’S GET PERSONAL

“Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” 2 Corinthians 13:5

Again, let's look at your life over the last year, last three years, or last decade. How many people have you discipled? How many are now discipling others? These are real questions with real outcomes. I think these questions need to be asked and answered! Don’t you? Before launching your fishing boat, would it be bad, rude, or harsh if I asked you if you had replaced the drain plug? I could be nice about it and wait until you are in the middle of the lake as you discover you are sinking. Important questions need to be asked, and they need to be asked now, before it's too late. Don’t you agree? Are you ready to stop complaining and actually do something about it? Go to King Jesus in prayer and ask Him what He wants you to do.

“The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2

If the answer to the question, “how many disciples have you made,” is close to zero, it's not time to hide in shame—it’s time to get on your face before the King and ASK FOR HIS HOLY FIRE AS YOU REPENT. And, ask Him for Grace while you're at it. Ask for the Grace that promises transformation. Ask for your TRUE IDENTITY IN CHRIST.

“Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.” Romans 12:1

Because Jesus didn’t save you to sit. He saved you to be SENT.

“As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” John 20:21

THE TERMINAL PATIENT WITH A SMOOTH-TALKING DOCTOR

“You’re totally fine. Let’s not be so negative...”

You have cancer. It’s aggressive. Deadly even. But your doctor, smiling and suave, says, “Oh don’t worry about all that. I only focus on the positive! No need to talk about your condition. You’re amazing, just the way you are. Just think happy thoughts, and you’ll be fine!”

You walk out relieved… until your body gives out. Turns out positivity didn’t kill the cancer. Truth does.

What if your pastor is doing the same thing? Avoiding repentance. Avoiding sin. Avoiding discipleship. Always smiling. Always affirming. But never challenging, never diagnosing, never cutting to heal.

Jesus is called the Great Physician, not the Great People-Pleaser. He came to deal with sin, sickness, and death. And He got results. He's wanting to get results in you too!

“It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:17

SCRUBBED CLEAN OR SPRAYED WITH FRAGRANCE?

Too many churches are spraying perfume on corpses instead of resurrecting the dead by the power of the Gospel. You don’t need another "life tip" from Tony Robbins or other life coaching gurus. You need the Breath of Life, and only Jesus can give you that. It's time to stop playing church, and be the church.

“And you were dead in your offenses and sins... But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ.” Ephesians 2:1, 4–5

Churches that don’t make disciples are not churches. They’re religious TED Talks with a cross on the wall. Unregenerated podcasters in tight jeans, big screens, and smoke machines.

“This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me. And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” Matthew 15:8–9

Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop playing.

“Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.” 1 John 3:18

If your pastor is a truth-telling foot-washer, confessing sin, modeling humility, making disciples, preparing the Bride for the return of the King—praise God and double down! Love him and support him (or her). As a matter of fact, invite everyone. Go out in the highways and the byways and bring everyone in. Support that kind of Pastor and church all day long, PRAISE GOD.

“Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.” Matthew 23:12

But let's get real. How many churches are preparing the Bride for the Bridegroom? How many churches are making disciples who make disciples? Let's just focus on you, your pastor, and your church. Are you, your pastor, and your church making disciples? OUCH!

if you're not? REPENT IMMEDIATELY and ask Jesus what He wants you to do. Because following a blind guide will land you in a big ditch in the middle of hell. At least you will have company!

But that is not what you want, is it? Of course not! Make no mistake, things must change. Why don't you step up to the plate and insist upon reformation? At the very least, pray and ask Jesus what His strategy is for you and your church. He won't fail you--so start asking!

“Let them alone; they are blind guides of blind people. And if a blind person guides a blind person, both will fall into a pit.” Matthew 15:14

LIGHT EXPOSES DARKNESS

Ask Jesus to reveal the TRUTH about your church, your pastor, your life.

“Search me, God, and know my heart; Put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there is any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.” Psalm 139:23–24

Then have the courage to respond. Maybe He’ll lead you to start a Grace-saturated HOUSE Church. Maybe He’ll call you to be a voice crying out in your own congregation. Maybe He’ll lead you out of Babylon and into the wilderness where He can whisper your true name. Don’t look to me, I don’t have your answer. It is His choice, so go to Jesus. He will tell you what to do.

“Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean, And I will welcome you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17

Whatever He says... DO IT.

“His mother *said to the servants, ‘Whatever He tells you, do it.’” John 2:5

WE NEED MORE KINGDOM-PIONEERING REBELS

Not rebels against God—rebels against the counterfeit. Against the dead forms. The comfy consumerism. The trendy nonsense. The lies dressed up as light.

“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:13–14

You were born to be a disciple who makes disciples who shake the gates of hell and populate Heaven.

“Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.” Matthew 16:18b

But it starts with THIS - TO KNOW KING JESUS like a man knows his wife. Not just facts. Not just theology. But real, raw, relational union with Jesus, the person of God. Jesus is more real than anything you’ve ever meet, seen, or experienced. He’s the Creator of everything, including you and your destiny.

“I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me.” John 10:14

YOUR INVITATION - COME MEET KING JESUS

He’s not hiding. He’s not distant. He’s knocking. He is knocking on your door right now. Will you let Him in?

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20

Will you open the door and let Him in right now? The Bridegroom is coming. The trumpet will sound. The dead in Christ will rise. We will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17

Will you be ready? Or just religious?

“Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent... the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.” Matthew 25:2, 10b

It’s time to wake up. Time to shake off the lies. Time to come out of Babylon. Time to live like Jesus is returning... because HE IS. Do you agree?

“Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we first believed.” Romans 13:11

If this hits you in the gut, it’s supposed to. Not to condemn you. But to call you to your rightful place–Seated with Christ. Empowered by Grace. Ablaze with Truth. On mission with the King.

“And raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6

THE HOSPITAL THAT NEVER RELEASES PATIENTS

“We just want you to stay here forever…”

Picture a hospital where no patient ever leaves. People come in, get a bed, attend some nice therapy sessions, eat cafeteria food, and stay. Indefinitely. No healing plan. No rehab. No discharge.
After five years, they’re still there—just older, weaker, more dependent. The hospital board calls it “growth” because the census is up.

That’s many American churches.

People come in year after year with no plan for spiritual healing, maturity, IDENTITY IN CHRIST or release into mission or community.

No one is discipled.
No one is deployed.
No one is trusted to go and do the works of Jesus.

Jesus said, “Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12 

But in many churches, the standard is: Sit down. Stay put. Listen well. Give generously. And never, ever leave. That’s not the Kingdom. That’s captivity.

Jesus is not building safe institutions—He’s building a dangerous, glorious, fruit-bearing Body that storms the gates of hell with love, truth, and supernatural power to love enemies.

JESUS HIMSELF WILL CONFRONT AND REMOVE THEM

Jesus didn’t leave this up for speculation. In Revelation, He addresses actual churches—with pastors (angels/messengers) over them—and He holds them accountable.

“Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.”
Revelation 2:5

A lampstand represents their position, authority, and light-bearing role in the Kingdom. If they refuse to return to first love obedience, Jesus Himself removes them.

This isn’t just about losing influence—it’s about losing His presence and anointing.

THEY WILL BE JUDGED MORE STRICTLY

“Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.” James 3:1

Pastors are not judged less because they were "doing their best." They are judged more strictly because they handled the eternal Word of God, claimed spiritual leadership, and represented Jesus to His Bride.

To misrepresent Him is dangerous.

“Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman… when I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and you do not warn him… I will require his blood from your hand.” Ezekiel 3:17–18

This prophetic accountability applies spiritually to all shepherds of God's people.

THEY WILL BE EXPOSED, REBUKED, AND CUT OFF

“For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:17

When leaders resist the Holy Spirit and refuse correction, God exposes them. He tears off the facade, disciplines them openly, and often allows the natural consequences of deception, pride, or idolatry to unravel their ministry--I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE.

“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away… If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:2, 6

JESUS WILL VOMIT THEM OUT

This is the harshest image, but it’s straight from the lips of Jesus to a lukewarm, unrepentant church:

“Because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” Revelation 3:16

Jesus is disgusted with half-hearted leadership that pretends to be faithful while refusing to do the one thing that matters: repent and return to Him. :

“Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.” Revelation 3:19

Final Authority Belongs to Jesus

No board.
No denomination.
No clever branding.

No big budget or loyal donors can protect a pastor or church from the righteous and loving judgment of King Jesus.

“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” Luke 6:46 

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 7:21

BUT—There is Good News… If they repent, Jesus will restore them:

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 

“Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of armies." Malachi 3:7

Jesus loves pastors. He died for them, too. He is patient. But His patience is not permission to continue in disobedience.

BOTTOM LINE - A pastor or church that refuses to repent will lose more than a platform—they will lose their lampstand, their legacy, their reward, and possibly their soul. Jesus gets to define success, and He calls it faithful obedience and fruit that remains (John 15:16).

WHY WILL THIS MESSAGE BE REJECTED BY MOST CHRISTIANS?

Because it threatens the idol of comfort. The message of Spiritual Formation, discipleship, and preparation for the HARPAZO demands self-denial, repentance, and a surrendered life IN CHRIST.

But most Christians have been fed a diet of comfort, convenience, and consumer Christianity.

“For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires.” 2 Timothy 4:3

This message calls us to DIE TO SELF. To lay down our idols, crucify the flesh, and follow Jesus, not trends, not emotions, not crowds. And that’s too costly for most.

Because it exposes power structures built on religious performance, not Kingdom fruit. When you say, “If your church isn’t making disciples, it’s not obeying Jesus,” you’re declaring spiritual war on a billion-dollar religious industrial complex.

You’re calling out the CEO pastors, the fog-machine Sunday shows, and the unbiblical standards of “success” (likes, seats, dollars). You’re confronting the lie - “As long as it looks good, it must be blessed.”

Jesus said, “Woe to you, when all the people speak well of you; for their fathers used to treat the false prophets the same way.” Luke 6:26

This message will be rejected because it’s not safe, it’s prophetic. It doesn’t play by religious rules. It bows to the King of Kings, not the opinions of men. And, to be brutually honest, because lukewarmness has become normal.

Jesus vomits out the lukewarm (Revelation 3:16). But in many churches, lukewarm is the default temperature. Discipleship? That’s for the “Radicals.” Holiness? "Legalism." Repentance? "Too harsh." HARPAZO? "Conspiracy talk." Deliverance? "That’s extreme." Obedience? "Fringe."

This message is a mirror, and most can’t bear to look.

HOW WILL THIS MESSAGE BE REJECTED?

Mocked as too “intense,” “extreme,” or “judgmental." Minimized as “just one perspective." Ignored in favor of safer, more entertaining messages. Twisted into “legalism” to avoid confronting compromise. Accused of being unloving, when in fact it’s rooted in truth spoken in love.

“Have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?” Galatians 4:16

Many will say:

“God isn’t like that.”
“You’re being divisive.”
“That’s not my truth.”
“God just wants me happy.”

But God doesn’t negotiate with flesh. He calls it to the Cross.

WHO IS STANDING IN THE WAY OF SPIRITUAL FORMATION?

The Flesh - Your old nature does not want to die.

“The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so.” Romans 8:7

Spiritual Formation in Christ requires death to self, and the flesh screams, “NO!”

The World System - The world system disciples you every day into self-idolatry, distraction, compromise, and numbness.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind...” Romans 12:2

The world isn’t neutral, it’s at war with the Kingdom. Netflix disciples. Social media disciples. Culture disciples. But not into Christlikeness.

The Devil - This message is resisted because hell benefits when the Church is fruitless. Satan doesn’t care if you’re religious, he cares if you’re fruitful.

He loves:

Passive believers
Professional Christians
Churches that entertain but don’t equip
Pastors who avoid truth to retain tithes.

Because if he can keep the Church from making disciples, he can keep the Bride asleep and the harvest unreached.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy...” John 10:10a

Satan is terrified of a disciple-making, Spirit-filled, HARPAZO-ready Bride. He’ll do anything to distract, divide, or dull her.

WHO GAINS WHEN WE REJECT GOD'S GRACE AND REFUSE TO BE DISCIPLED?

The devil gains souls. Religious leaders gain control. The flesh gains temporary comfort. The Kingdom suffers loss. But God? He grieves.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem... How often I wanted to gather your children together... but you were unwilling. Matthew 23:37

THE FINAL TRUTH - GRACE IS THE SOLUTION

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and in a godly manner in the present age.” Titus 2:11–12

Grace is not permission to stay lukewarm. Grace is divine power to be transformed. Jesus hasn’t given up on His Bride.

He’s calling.
He’s knocking.
He’s coming.
