Jude speaks of six levels of rebellion which are
#1Mind
#2Dreams
#3Confession
#4Conviction
#5Undermining
#6 UpRising.
He starts by saying…to those who are CALLED, SANCTIFIED by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ:
So he’s addressing the called ones and the elected ones.. meaning rebellion revolves along such people.
To be sanctified is to be seperated or elected.many are called by few are chosen.
#1 CONTEND EARNESTLY FOR THE FAITH WHICH WAS ONCE FOR ALL DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS.
MIND
????This is rebellion that starts from the mind because faith deals with the mind.
-Faith is knowledge and Faith is trust.I can have knowledge that He is the healer but can l trust him to heal me…this is when you nolonger feel someone in your mind and heart and you move from discernment to evil suspicion…because discernment loves but evil suspicion hates
This is rebellion rebels against a person .. nothing to do with his office or calling or assignment…it’s just hatred and loosing faith in a person.
UNDERMINING
#2 ANGELS WHO DID NOT KEEP THEIR PROPER DOMAIN, BUT LEFT THEIR OWN ABODE….
-Understand your place of assignment and never loose order. Some are born to serve and some to be served… Satan and other angels after Undermining God chose to be served and not serve God but what started first was undermining God
This is now when you undermine the office of a person.. it’s not about the person but his office because we are called to honor the office of a person. This type of rebellion is against the office that the man has… Satan rebelled against the deity of God which is his office.
3 UPRISING
YET MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL, IN CONTENDING WITH THE DEVIL, WHEN HE DISPUTED ABOUT THE BODY OF MOSES, DARED NOT BRING AGAINST HIM A REVILING ACCUSATION, BUT SAID, “THE LORD REBUKE YOU!”
-Understand Rank and Order. Grace and Rank aren’t the same.
-Never ever fight Rank…Thos is when you uprise against the rank a man has in the spirit and rank is not office.. Ananias in Acts 9 had no office but he was highly ranked in the spirit…he is just called a servant but his rank removed scales from Paul’s eyes.
An UpRising is dangerous coz you are now attacking the rank of a person and it’s rank that can bless or curse you.elisha rank cursed the kids.
Melchizedek rank blessed Abraham.
David could not kill Saul coz of rank.
#4CONVICTION
THE WAY OF CAIN
– Don’t be jelousy, be able to celebrate your own brother.
-Are you able to see and feel happy if your brother makes it in life? This rebellion is birthed by jelousy and you are fully convinced that this man is not of God and wherever and whatever he is achieving is not Godly and it’s some sort of evil. You can’t stand to see your brother driving a Lamborghini and you quickly say it’s not his or it’s our money
#5DREAMS
THE ERROR OF BALAAM
– Freely receive freely give… don’t use your gift for profit and personal evil gain.
Balaam received gifts so as to curse lsrael in Numbers 22.meaning you can receive gifts to bless
Paul says we gave you Spiritual things so we can also partake physical things
In Acts 16,Paul rebuked the spirit of divination on a little girl which was making profit for her Master through divination. Which is evil.
The spirit was speaking the Truth but being money driven under evil.
Prophecy and Divination is separated by the driving Force.
Prophecy is driven by compassion.
Divination is driven by profit making.
A true Prophet is not the one who speak the truth, even a false spirit can speak the truth.
Truth is never measured by TRUTH.
The spirit that troubled Paul was false and it being false ,was speaking the truth.
Why would ELIJAH say don’t hold between two opinions…the PROPHETS of Baal were also forensic but being POWER AND MONEY DRIVEN so as to curse people.
#6CONFESION
THE REBELLION OF KORAH.
-Tribe that disrespected the servant of God Moses in the wilderness.
-Give honor to where honor belongs.
Confessing against the man of God starts with gossip and back biting..and once you sit-down to discuss the man of God…you will then start to confess negative things against him leading to rebellion.
When Absolom rebelled against his father David he died a painful death.
When Judas rebeled against Jesus..he hanged himself.
When Joab rebeled against David by killing his son..he was killed by the wisdom of God.
Family of Korah that rebeled against Moses were swallowed by the earth.
Sons who rebeled against Elisha..were eaten by hyenas.
Demas was handed over to the devil by Paul.
Alexandra the coppersmith died a painful death after rebelling against Paul.
Every rebellion leads to death.
It’s easier to prove the error of an individual than to prove the error of a system because every system lays a foundation that is passed on from generation to generation, resulting in it being established as truth even though it could be an error and when you want to correct that people can rebel.
Like Prophet Passion..he has brought a new style, that is who a man of God is .. someone who is not put at a corner.…a free spirit who is not religious…just like Jesus who could be kissed by prostitute..spend time with sinners
Over the years a man of God was to look poor…meek and live by borrowing people but Prophet Passion Java has changed it
There are certain truth that are only proved by time. Some truth shall only be proved at the judgement day.
Rebellion is as a result of unanswered questions to truth.
What people don’t understand they question and then rebel
Be careful you can leave a person who carries your answer to life
One of the major ways in dealing with rebellion is rewarding and prove people with tangible results so that they won’t have questions over your truth and over the system.
Rebellion is not the problem but unanswered questions is the problem.
There’s more rebellion in Christianity than there’s in other religions, because Christianity over the years change their truth and is not consistent with what they teach. Not all truth is the same ,for truth is truth to those who would have chose to believe in it after a period of time through consistency.
Islam is truth to its very own but it’s not THE TRUTH
When you don’t answer a question you expose yourself and the only way not to answer a question is to make people not to ask questions by rewarding them beyond their level of questioning and by proving them with tangible results.
Every time the disciples would ask Jesus a question, in that very area ,they would have failed to see results and rewards.
Because questions are as a result of lack of rewards and results.. everytime there’s a question from the inferior to the superior, rebellion is closer.
??????
Check questions that your sons and daughters ask you…they tell you of their rebellion that will be closer.??
Mathew 19:27
Then answered Peter and said,we have left everything and followed you,what shall be our reward…?
Later on that same Peter rejected Jesus… people who ask you questions related to profit..keep an eye..they will soon rebel against you
