Leaven of Herod

Mark 8:15  And he charged them, (the Apostles) saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

We are about to see the leaven of Herod come to full manifestation in the Church and the world.

There is an absolute separation coming between the carnal believer and the Holy Spirit filled Saint.

What is the Leaven of Herod?

In a nutshell, it is holding civil law above moral law.

As believers and followers of Christ, we will be challenged on where we place our faith, trust and obedience.

Herod held to Roman Law and enforced it upon the land. It did not matter if civil law transgressed moral law.

All that mattered was the enforcement of it.

Many Pharisees appealed to the established law of the Romans and Herod to overthrow Christ.

This here is the mixture between the Divine and the Carnal.

There are defining moments that will prove the real from the false.

Are we listening to the ones who profess to see but are really blind?

These are the ones who lead the people into a ditch.

These type of religious leaders with wrong motives and political ties actually lead their followers into an unclean place.

Or are we following those that actually see and are working to implement Kingdom Principals in the Governments of this world?

One will compromise for position, power, influence and gain.

The other will hold it's ground to stand for truth rather than fall for a lie and serve ungodliness.

The political spirit and the Holy Spirit are not the same.

One is secularism and serves flesh and selfish ambitions.It serves to establish man naturally and temporarily.

The other is spiritual and serves as a representative of the Creator to His Glory and Eternal Majesty. The Holy Spirit serves to lead humanity into a spiritual and eternal establishment.

One is carnal and can become backed by  demonic infiltration.

The other serves to establish the Kingdom of God in the hearts of man.

One serves to establish the one world government.

The other works to convict us to run far from its grip.

BE AWARE OF THE LEAVEN OF HEROD!

Be Wise / Discern / Pray / Repent

Tell Your Story

To not tell our story is to rob the Lord of His Glory.

2Co 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 

To hide the Gospel and what the Lord has done for us keeps others in darkness.

It robs people from hearing the testimony of the Gospel and it robs God of His Glory.

The word hid has the root word kalupto which means to hinder the knowledge of a thing. 

It is a compound of other words.

The word klepto meaning to steal like a thief or to steal, and the word krupto, under concealment.

When we hide the Gospel we literally become thieves. We rob people of the opportunity to see the Light and we rob God of His Glory.

Matthew  5:14  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

The word hid here is krupto or concealed.

Notice the Lord says YOU are the LIGHT of the WORLD!! A city on a hill CANNOT be hid.

He goes on to say the purpose of light in Matthew 5:15

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house.

Both a hill and a candlestick represent exalted or lifted up places.

When we got filled with the Holy Spirit we were filled with Fire and Glory. 

The Lord owns the hills and He is the One that raises the candlestick up.

The Lord lifts us up so we can shine everywhere. To run from the Lord raising us up is to deny Him the opportunity to shine through us. We are to be Light so people can see. What place has God called us to Light up?

Matthew 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Let us not hide our Gospel from men.

Let us not deny the Lord His Glory.

TELL YOUR STORY!

In His Love,
