Spread the Truth Blog - Peace in Christ Jesus: Indoctrination: Leaven, Conspiracy and the Cup of Devils

Luke 12:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, He (Christ) began to say unto His disciples first of all, "Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."

leav·en - noun \ˈle-vən\: 1) a substance (such as yeast) that makes dough rise and become light before it is baked; 2) something that modifies or lightens.

leav·en - transitive verb: 1) to raise (as bread) with a leaven; 2) to mingle or permeate with some modifying, alleviating, or vivifying element; especially: lighten.

(Middle English levain, from Anglo-French levein, from Vulgar Latin *levamen, from Latin levare to raise — lever).

CHRIST teaches us that the leaven of the Pharisees is hypocrisy. Let's go over this in detail. The leaven is comprised of indoctrination, including false doctrines and the traditions/systems of men. Leaven modifies or lightens (fluffs, dilutes) TRUTH. We all know that satan can tell 90 percent of a truth, twist the last 10 percent and turn it into one big lie. Now this is important: Christ cannot be tempted, so why did the Holy Spirit lead Him into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil?

Matthew 4:1 "Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

Matthew 4:2 "And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred."

Christ also fasted forty days and forty nights (forty represents probation). Now, if you didn't get this before, you better now, because this story will set you straight. Jesus set the example for you as to what you will face as a CHRISTian. He did it perfectly, while his flesh body was in an extremely fasted state. It's not a coincidence that the temptation in the wilderness occurred right at the beginning of Christ's Ministry. The story is an ensample, showing you the pattern of what's to come and how to live your life as a CHRISTian.

1 Peter 4:12 "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"

1 Peter 4:13 "But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy."

1 Peter 4:14 "If ye be reproached for the name of CHRIST, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of GOD resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified."

Don't think that your temptations are over, once you've repented and are saved. Now, you are the enemy of satan and his system. When the evil one looks at you, he sees the direct opposite of himself and everything his evil system stands for, because CHRIST abides in you and you in Him. It is the beginning of the fiercest battles that you will ever face in your lifetime. This writer can personally attest to the fact and he's seen it happen with numerous individuals. If you feel like it's never happened to you at all, somewhere along the road, you failed to take notice when the leaven propagated within your mind.

You're the branch and you cannot bear fruit without the vine, which is Christ.

John 15:4-5 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

You must abide in Christ for peace of mind and have FATHER'S pruning to produce good fruit. Rest in Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to guide your heart, in your study of His WORD.

Unfortunately, too many so-called believers are reprobate, or pretend, Christians. They have allowed indoctrination, or leaven, to propagate into their hearts and minds, through the words, traditions and systems of men. When the truth in GOD'S WORD is leavened, it becomes a fable to the indoctrinated minds of believers.

2 Timothy 4:4 "And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

The evil one allows them worldly comfort, stability and/or wealth in his world system, and the reprobrate Christians think they have things made. So double-minded, they didn't realize that they sold out. Their cups don't runneth over with Truth but with indoctrination and lies. Jesus is the Bread of Life. Your mind is what you feed it with and just a little bit of leaven spreads, or propagates, through your entire mind.

1 Corinthians 10:21 "Ye cannot drink the cup of the LORD, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the LORD's table, and of the table of devils."

Psalm 23:5 "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over."

Romans 11:8-9 "(According as it is written, GOD hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:"

table = trapeza (trap'-ed-zah); A table or stool (as being four legged), usually for food (figuratively a meal); also a counter for money (figuratively a broker’s office for loans at interest): - bank, meat, table. (Strong's Concordance)

A table is for food, and in this case, it can mean meat or also a counter for money. What you put on your table is food to feed and nourish your body. The table represents your mind, so spiritual food is what you absorb into it. Eating the wrong foods result in sickness and malnutrition. Therefore, your own mind traps you, if you fill it with indoctrination, the ways of this world and the traditions of men. That table can also mean money and usury. Following the traditions of men, false doctrines and propaganda, that have no foundation in Truth, will lead you into satan's camp. It is double-mindedness and hypocrisy attempting to fill one's mind with both the LORD'S Table and the table of devils. You cannot drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of devils. Study the WORD, eat from the LORD'S Table and drink from the cup that runneth over with Truth.

Our FATHER'S table is a table of TRUTH... His WORD, not fables or traditions of men. We feed from the table of truth and it's filled with spiritual meat, hidden manna, bread, milk and sweet honey. The LORD prepares a table before us, in the presence of our enemies, and we pick up the two edged sword, the WORD of GOD, against all that come against us. FATHER keeps our table full and our cup of truth runs over, so much so that we cannot keep it within us, and so we share it with others. The anointing oil is olive oil, the oil of our people, and it is the understanding of CHRIST - YAHVEH'S SAVIOR "THE ANOINTED ONE". Christos = khris-tos'- Anointed, that is, the Messiah, Jesus: - Christ.

Psalm 149:4 "For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation."

Psalm 149:5 "Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds."

Psalm 149:6 "Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;"

Psalm 149:7 "To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;"

Psalm 149:8 "To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;"

Psalm 149:9 "To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD."

Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."

So, friend, what do you have on your table? Do you intend to do battle with the enemy using the very same weapons fabricated by the devil - fables; rapture; humanism; one worldism; traditions? Take a good look and examine your table. If you have no Truth on your table, guess who's hand is feeding you? In Isaiah 54:17, don't overlook "thou shalt condemn". Every weapon and tongue that comes against you, "thou shalt condemn", which means FATHER wants you to do a little work yourself. So how are you going to condemn the enemies, armed with weapons and tongues, without the two edged sword, GOD'S WORD? Do you intend to use fables and fairy dust?

Jesus is the Living WORD and His tongue is the double edged sword. Without the WORD, you're without CHRIST, because He is the WORD of GOD.

Revelation 19:13 "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The WORD of GOD."

Revelation 19:14 "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."

Revelation 19:15 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty GOD."

Revelation 19:16 "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."
