Neither the Father, nor the Son, nor the Holy Spirit ever lord it over any human being! Never ever! G-d IS love², and although He tests the righteous [to know whether or not they are genuine], He neither manipulates nor tricks them. His soul loathes the violent man,  and abhors and hates the unrepentant wicked and all who love violence³. 

He grants His gifts and blessings generously and without reproach⁴, not making legalistic demands or bestowing them with violent beatings. It is neither by the might of the flesh nor by the power of beating fists and stomping feet that G-d works His signs, wonders and miracles, but by HIS SPIRIT!⁵

The only instance recorded of Yeshua having acted violently was when in hot indignation He overturned the tables of the money changers and with a whip drove out the merchants who had turned the Court of the Gentiles, intended for them to pray there to the only true and Living G-d, into a market place for traveling Jews wanting to bring an offering in the Temple⁶. Aside from that one instance, Yeshua never ever used violence, but even reproved Peter when he drew his sword to defend Yeshua from the high priest’s soldiers while they were arresting Him⁷. 

The Gospel of the Kingdom is not to be spread by violence. The centuries of violence   perpetrated by the Gentile Church, namely the Church of Rome – the waging of wars in the Name of Christ and the shedding of innocent blood – are shameful indeed. Doubtless, the Kingdom DOES suffer violence⁸ from those who abuse it for their own purposes and prey upon the ignorant, the undiscerning, the gullible, na?ve and unsuspecting in the Name of Messiah. 

Strange, unholy fire is earthly and carnal as opposed to heavenly and divine. It caters to the flesh and fancy of carnal minded Christians. Unholy fire counterfeits genuine fire, thereby anointing and corrupting many with a counterfeit anointing to their peril. For just as fake diamonds are taken for the real thing, so is this strange fire and anointing received as the real thing to the peril of those who receive it. 

Nadab and Abihu’s attempt to minister to G-d with strange, unholy fire cost them their earthly, temporal lives. Their “playing with unholy fire” serves as a clear example and warning to neither tamper with the holy things of God, nor minister nor worship before Him in His Name with the unholy or carnal. For just as Nadab and Abihu lost their earthly lives, we risk losing our eternal lives (salvation) by playing with strange fire. 

But in these endtimes, some men are offering strange, unholy fire. They freely use the name of Jesus, calling Him Lord, claiming themselves to be prophets and apostles, while prophesying out of their own minds and vain imagination.

As it is written, they “tickle people’s ears” by speaking only what people want to hear⁹. 
Their unholy craving for thrills and excitement culminates in spectacular gold dust, flying fire balls and “signs” and “wonders” which have absolutely nothing to do with the Lord, His salvation and Kingdom but rather with the kingdom of darkness, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:9 that speaks of “the working of satan with all power and pretended signs and lying wonders.” 

The preaching of Christ has become a show business, a lucrative soap opera which brings in vast amounts of cash. This strange, unholy fire has infected thousands of churches across the globe like a vicious virus. It has defiled the true Gospel, the true preaching of Messiah, making a mockery of it in the name of entertainment, money, fame, and pride. 

Only those who wholeheartedly desire to know the Lord and give themselves unreservedly unto Him; who hang onto His every Word and seek Him daily, having no agenda of their own but desirous of doing His will only; who are zealous for Truth; fervent in love and uncompromising in devotion will recognize this fire as a counterfeit and profane masquerade of the true fire which comes from heaven. This is a fearful thing, for it is written: “….because they received not the love of the truth that they may be saved….G-d shall send them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”¹⁰

Those who love truth are leaving that church that caters to the flesh and presents a perverted Gospel. Those who love truth choose the solitude of intimacy with the Lord over companionship with thrill seekers who are on the path of destruction¹¹. 

Consequently, many who are yearning for G-d’s holiness have established house churches where they can train as true disciples; for while all disciples are believers not all believers are disciples.
