He That Overcometh (continued)

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “He that Overcometh” – the rule of false doctrine (the Jezebel spirit) shall suddenly come to an end according to Revelation. But to those who “overcome” that false doctrine spirit in these days, shall be given “power over the nations: and…shall rule them with a rod of iron” (Revelation 2:26-27). Beloved, we need to “overcome” false doctrine such as the few examples I shall give you.

  1. Doctrine that teaches against interracial marriage and uses the Scripture to substantiate this false teaching – when God told the Israelites, “only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry” (Numbers 36:6). If this were true, then Moses himself (who wrote this book of Numbers) was in sin! Moses was of the tribe of Levi and his wife, Zipporah, was of the tribe of the Kenites (a branch of the Midianites) – so we know that this is not the correct interpretation. What God meant was that the Israelites were not to marry any people who served idol gods – their race had nothing to do with it!!!


  2. We must “overcome” false doctrine concerning salvation. Some teach eternal security (meaning no matter what you do, the Blood of Jesus will cover every sin committed without repentance!) – another lie! God did not stutter when He said, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die [!!!]” (Ezekiel 18:20), and Jesus confirmed this by stating, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill” (Matthew 5:17).


  3. We must “overcome” false doctrine of “inclusionism” (this is a teaching that has some believing that everyone is going to Heaven, but there are some who just don’t know it yet!) – major lie!! Revelation 21:8 teaches us the category of people that you and I will not see in Heaven – “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone [the Lake of Fire]” – they will not be permitted to Heaven!!!


I will write more on this subject next week. Until then know this…

I love you all SO very much.
Happy New Year.
In His love,

Pastor William L. McCoy
