Truth & Knowledge: Episode 74 – “I Rebuke You World”
In this episode, Trey Knowles declares a strong message of spiritual separation from the world:
Christians must not become entangled in the world’s systems—especially politics—for these belong to the world, not to God.
“Anyone who does not lead me toward repentance in Christ, I must rebuke,” Trey says.
“Both political sides—Democrat and Republican—are demonic. This nation must return to God and reject the devil and his ways.”
A Nation Serving Two Masters
America has become, in Trey’s words, a false prophet nation—one that preaches constitutional rights and liberty to sin while still claiming God’s name.
But Scripture reminds us: No one can serve two masters.
Trey reflects on his spiritual journey:
“I am running a good race for the Lord. But who is cutting in on me, trying to keep me from obeying the truth—trying to make me agree with sin? Is that not the system of America?”
He cites Galatians 5:7–9, warning that “a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”
The persuasion of worldly culture does not come from the One who calls us.
Those who bring confusion with their worldly systems will face judgment.
The Offense of the Cross
Trey asks:
“If I were preaching that you can do whatever you please under your own authority, why would I be persecuted? Why is there still a conflict between flesh and spirit within us?”
If the message of the cross offends no one, then its power has been emptied.
But Christ’s sacrifice was not in vain.
The only thing that truly matters is to love Jesus Christ with all your heart.
As Jesus said in John 14:15,
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
The Way That Seems Right
There is a way that seems right to the world—but if it is not the way of the Lord, it leads only to destruction.
You cannot love the world’s systems more than you love God.
If your heart clings to the “Founding Fathers” and their earthly constitution more than to the Word of God, how can the love of the Father dwell in you?
True worshipers must worship in spirit and truth.
As Matthew 10:36–39 teaches:
“Anyone who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake will find it.”
Do Not Love the World
The Word of God is clear in 1 John 2:15–17:
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
