A word about attacks heaviness spiritual oppression and how we respond with our weakness as our weapon. Sorry about the technical issue with the sync/video/audio. i feel like "someone" doesn't want this video going out. it took nearly 3 hours to upload! Yesterday the heaviness I went through - I interpreted personally . There's something bigger afoot. Others are reporting the same sense and feelings. It is spiritual warfare. Our weapon, however is our WEAKNESS. Important to realize this. The demonic/spiritual attack is in conjunction (and behind) what's happening politically. Don't overpersonalize it. Have a strategic perspective. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckrV-Z_qoWY

I should clarify that i AM aware that the bride is not in the parable. doctrinally, we are not the "bridesmaids' being invited to a feast (AFter a marriage has taekn place) we are the bride doing the inviting with the bridegroom. If you do a search for "outer darkness' on my channel you'll find my teaching from a couple of years back on the subject. This was an important piece of the puzzle as far as liberating me from the fear of outer darkness. but the root of that teaching was not just confusing the brides with the bridesmaids, it was actually not undesrtanding the nature of the BEMA, and Christ as our reward. The answer that the bride is not in the parable does not fully satisfy me anymore because it puts the parable "out of commision" and makes bad doctrine for another group of people (whoever the bridesmaids are). it belongs to the category of "that is directed to the jews." in other words with that answer, there IS supposedly a group of people 5 of which will be distinguished by the fact that that they genuinely tried to enter the feast and could not because they didn't have enough "oil" and were cast into the outer darkness as if this is an eschatological event that will occur. simply saying 'this does not apply to the church' means we are still trying to derive doctrine from a parable for SOMEONE. even tribulation saints are justified the same way we are, by faith apart from works. meanwhile, by looking at it in this way and putting the parable on the shelf, it has no use for us at all. i'll admit, i don't fully know what it means because we were traumatized by it , as I said in this video. the "safest' thing to say about it is that the bride is not in the parable, just like the safest thing to say about james 2 is 'he's talking about letting your faith be useful to others." But in the back of my mind, i know both answers have heretical implications lurking behind them for somebody :). And yes, I'm all for distinguishing between the Church and Israel and understanding the difference between our destinies. Neither of us has an appointment with outer darkness. ? https://www.christiansneedthegospel.com/books-in-print/ In addition to teaching I spend a lot of time writing and have quite a few books in digital and print format.
