More surely…however, too many to list.

WHAT WERE (+ ARE) THE DOCTRINES OF THE NICOLAITANS?

Are WE in the Last Days or are the LAST DAYS IN AND AMONG US? 2 Tim 3:1-8, 1 Tim 6:5?

“LOVELESS”

They don’t RELATE, the “Ordinary Common Person” They Barely Respect

…Rather… They RULE. And Often RULE CRUEL”

“But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate”

Revelation 2:6 KJV

“So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.” Revelation 2:15 KJV

SUBTITLE ….”It’s ALL about “OUR “POWER, “OUR” STATUS and SELECT. GIFTING”

Submitted as a Selah. And “Only when or if… any shoe fits, should one then wear it” Sister T

Also Taveau note that this TOPIC may be WHY I was SENT to study the huge Christian Body since 1976. I did not know of “WELP or “ministry subcultures” as I do now.

(I deem a lot of this ugly stuff as “as demonic ” WEAPONIZED” PRAYER)

THREE DIFFERENT PARTS

I. ODD PROPHETIC ACTS DONE MY NATIONAL PROPHETS (SIGNS)

II. TAVEAU’S USA CHRISTIAN MISSION..TO IDENTIFY AND OFFER SOBER SELAH’S TO THE LAST DAYS TRUE CHURCH.. Includes Her Own Prophetic Understanding of This Group

III Then then lengthy, thought provoking and historical, Bible DEFINITION OF DOCTRINES OF THE NICOLAITANS

All is submitted as Christian SELAH not Autocratic Dogma.

PART I

National Prophets “ODD YET GOD” Prophetic Acts”
1. Isaiah 20:2-4 Walked naked through the streets
2. Ezekiel Lay on his side 390 full length days…as a warning.

1. ISAIAH’S ODD PROPHETIC ACT

Isaiah 20:2–4 (KJV)“At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.”

Summary:

What he did: Walked naked and barefoot for 3 years.
(Scholars note “naked” may mean stripped to undergarments — still shocking for a dignified prophet.)
Why: A visible sign that Egypt & Ethiopia would be shamed & led away captive by Assyria — their trusted alliances could not save them.

Purpose:
To demonstrate by action the total humiliation & defeat that would come on these nations — a living parable of political downfall

2. EZEKIEL’S ODD PROPHETIC ACTS

Ezekiel is full of them! He acted out parables to grab hard-hearted Israel’s attention during exile.

Here are some major examples:

A) Lying on his side — Israel’s & Judah’s sin

Ezekiel 4:4–6 (KJV)

“Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it… three hundred and ninety days…
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days…”

Summary:

Ezekiel lay on one side for 390 days (symbolic of Israel’s years of rebellion)
Then on the other side for 40 days (Judah’s rebellion)
Purpose: A shocking street drama of Israel’s long judgment for sin.

B) Cooking food over dung

Ezekiel 4:12–15 (KJV)“And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight…
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted… And he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung…”

Summary:

Commanded to bake food over human dung (later switched to cow dung after Ezekiel pleaded).
Purpose: To show how defiled the people would be — eating unclean food in exile among the nations.

C) Shaving head & beard — divided judgment

Ezekiel 5:1–2 (KJV)“And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor… and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard…”

Summary:

Shaved off all his hair & beard (humiliating for a priest).
Divided the hair: burned a third, struck a third with a sword, scattered a third to the wind.
Purpose: Graphic sign of how Jerusalem’s people would be killed, burned, or scattered by Babylon.

D) Packing bags & digging through the wall

Ezekiel 12:3–7 (KJV)“Prepare thee stuff for removing… carry it forth… dig thou through the wall in their sight…”

POINT Summary:

Acted out an exile: packed a bag, dug a hole through his house wall, carried the bag on his shoulder.
Purpose: To show Israel’s prince (Zedekiah) and people would flee Jerusalem in desperation and captivity.

PURPOSE OF THESE STRANGE ACTS

Wake up spiritually deaf people: When words fail, God uses shocking visuals.
Make prophecy undeniable: They could not ignore a man lying 390 days in public or walking half-naked!
Symbolize real events: The acts were like living parables that exactly matched God’s judgment plan.
Point back to repentance: Even while warning of doom, the message was, “Turn back to God and live!”

PART II

TD’S WALK THROUGH USA (MOSTLY) CHARISMATIC

Experience in Luke Eyewitness History ..From Christians PRE-SHOWBIZ-MEDIA Until NOW:

For this “one” has been SENT to this crop as a prophetic sign, as a Least of these to the Ornery Have Need of Nothing in DFW, VA and NC, SC,Sent to Florida and similar Floridians in Ministry which brought it up north. I do not own it and will not succumb to it’s mirthless joyless, slaving bondage. BUT YOU ALL CAN if YOUR to be UNDER that demonic.

I was knowingly SENT for the last 11 years…like this..and and for a sign to this USA prosperous ambitious Nation. I laid down my own prosperity to live as the lowest of the Low (except in my soul, and joyful heart..I never FEEL that way, But it would attack, governing with “the respecter of persons” dehumanizing, territorial and objectifying, even accusing misogynistic hard working spirit, which was the very first and ONLY TIME in my history of life in Christ and in ministry…to repeatedly be encounter and get ‘demonically attacked “for SITTING THEIR in James 3:17 Calm Fruit…That certain RED FLAGGED to get my attention.

I noted the avoidant “relationships” the lack of humility and”Ephesians 5:21 mutual submission, Also the elite NON I JOHN 1:7 historical pecking order, the lack of mercy, the hypocritical dysfunction (` Tim 6:5, 2 Tim 3:1-8) which does not bear resemblance to the Christ nor the First Church fruit and it entirely “authoritarian, top down which rose up during Constantine, Rome and orthodoxy. NOW it “tries to be rich” and wants it WAY and to be OVER all the rest of US. However, JESUS is the ONLY WAY Truth and the Life, NOT Obsessed Trying THESE.

HE JESUS is the NARROW WAY..meaning the low, humble,servant leader, carrying the towel, to wash the disciples feet, the Isaiah 53 Suffering Christ.

And I live this ‘abased” however, amazing mostly pleasant, happy…and also living “by faith” one day in ,one day out mirthful leader fashion… to restore my SOUL after ministry DFW…as well as lowering myself to be conformed to His Will, But on the Journey I gained a new ME, not a whimp or OVERLY POLITE but to rise up and to SAY IT on behalf of the Lord Jesus CHRIST, HIS PURE PEOPLE and the GOSPEL (not the GOSSIPS and MANDATORY MAMMON CENTRIC NOUVEAU RICHE ATTAINING SYSTEM)

I willingly submitted to the LORD GOD and wound up getting FEARLESS, counting ON THE LORD rather than myself or man kind, But I found how how FRIENDS are if they JUST LIKE YOU when you are WELL OFF of if they will ACCUSE, WORD CURSE YOU if YOU are not like Elite Like Them.

I own myself now (not ego, just no more (shaky) people pleasing over small identity) (means even if I upset the the many regal “Powers that Be” in Ministry) And this at the LORD’S expense to please Him by submitting to winnowing , testing, fiery trials, and more…And as I know BOTH THE BOOK OF ACTS SPIRIT and HOLY WORD OF BIBLE SCRIPTURE ..I understand WHERE to go to healing and fast POWER, THE INSIGHT from being “IN THAT…”

However, because is a middle aged SISTER ( and not MALE) in this large size CROWD one dare not GO where one is picked out a large crowd and commented at or “occult witch watched, divined “targeted and office Defiled)

Thus one has to TURN TO HER GOD and rely on HIM for and HIS MERCY and REVELATION which I have..(rather than risk the control, the white witchcraft, the suspicious demeaning overlords who lack a speak of Jesus Hebrews 1:9 “office prophet JOY”

Celebrity System seen as TURF, CULT “factional fruit” (again, not all that LOOK like these ARE..it’s a one by one discernment)

And.I have NOT missed THEM as people, but I have missed immersing His power and presence, BUT IS OVER I know where to go NOW where they DO NOT APPEAR TO DO THIS. SO I will advertise this WHEN, AS GOD tells me to do.( and this said on behalf of the APOSTASY, the word curse, fault finding..also bias, indifference, money, politics ” DRIVING THEM AWAY, ..which has also happened during this same exact Elevated EGO TIME PERIOD)

IT IS SAD WHEN DYSFUNCTIONAL “FALSE” AUTHORITY AND FALSE WITNESS, FALSE UNTRUE DOCTRINE,HOLD GOD’S HOUSES HOSTAGE ..and SEEM TO PERPETUALLY ” GUIDE” A GREAT FANTASTIC YET POMPOUS.. “SUBCULTURE”

Yet, I know it far too tell well to ever SETTLE for going Back and being abused…and ongoing denied based Christian respect and value and I John 1:7 “relationship for “PURE COMMUNITY” (These ONLY WANT their OWN STYLE) And they actually ‘defeat “God’s purpose for “church “fellowship with the saints’ as so satanic…(means to devaluing by SIGHT, LOOKS, GENDER, VIBE and it’s skulking .. accusing, occult, white witchcraft, witch watching and being targeted by less than humble, hiding, targeting, seer divining occult.(effortless false religion)

HAVE PITY ON THESE.

DUE TO THIS I NOT SAINTLY ENOUGH TO BE “ALLOWED”(as there are NOT MANY OF THESE. TO GO WHERE the Healing Worship power was due TO DIVINING WELP so it made this DFW Recoup Journey much longer.

However I am there now. and so are MANY of the Remnant, who chose not to bow to the Christian Ministry System. It’s TOO paltry in SOUL and lacks RESPECT and PURE LOVE and it’s MONIED but MAMMON PLEASING.so i am OUT.

The Last Apostolic ministry Years, I pondered the “Globe “How not many MIGHTY are CALLED the ELITE and ATTAINED won’t always “make to Eternal Heaven” for it is the POOR who are called “RICH IN FAITH” by the Master

I fully recoup my own “prophetic perspective” of this “myself” and of the “Christian “ministry” for I do NOT WANT TO BE BOUGHT. And a lot of his “authority” submissive stuff is about SELLING and BUYING STUFF, mainly ambition.

2021 VISION: I saw in 2021 after MY LAST BOSS prophetic harassment by WELP Divining “mind reading “targeting hugely occult also woman hating cult subculture, I got this vision in the spirit of these words which formed “

THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST

AND THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST

And I saw this inner vision in May 2025 again.

For (said on behalf of many not a personal comment) I tried to relate but was attacked, avoided and targeted for I realize that cultish demonic spirit, I forgave and left but that spirit lingers as it is from the desperate dark pit and I have no reason to fellowship or ‘be owned, controlled and ruled by it” I saw it in the Dallas area.some not all but the powerful ones, who draw in lots of Christian wannabe famous.

I do not want or need Fame ..I have the Lord.

PART III

Lets investigate the “Doctrine of the Nicolaitans”

In the King James Version (KJV), the Nicolaitans are named exactly twice, both in the letters to the churches in the Book of Revelation:

1. Revelation 2:6 (KJV)“But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”

NOTE: This was spoken to the church at Ephesus — commending them for hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans.

2. Revelation 2:15 (KJV)

“So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.”

NOTE: This was spoken to the church at Pergamos — rebuking them because some held to the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which Jesus again says He hates.

Key Points (KJV context)

Ephesus hated their deeds → approved by Christ.
Pergamos tolerated their doctrine → rebuked by Christ.
Both “deeds” and “doctrine” are described as detestable to Jesus.
There is no long explanation given in the text — but historically and linguistically (Greek root: nikaō + laos), it means “conquer/control the people.”
POINT: Early church fathers linked it to immoral practice and religious hierarchy lording it over simple believers.

EARLY CHRISTIANS FATHERS COMMENTS

Double Standards in Ministry: “Addressed by the Early Church Fathers’ (See how these compare to issues today)

Early Church Writers on the Nicolaitans — Who They Said They Were, and How They Described Them

Chat GPT AI replies:

1. IRENAEUS (c. 130–202 AD)

Source: Against Heresies, Book I, Chapter 26

Irenaeus calls the Nicolaitans a sect that “lead lives of unrestrained indulgence.”
He says they claimed Nicolas (one of the original seven deacons in Acts 6) as their founder — but the early church believed he did not actually teach their immorality; they corrupted his name.
They taught that it was permissible to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols (matching Rev 2:14–15)(
Point:TD says “sounds like the Jezebel everyone knows about,except these Christian always train that is is a DOMINATING SHE”.

2. HIPPOLYTUS (c. 170–235 AD)

Source: Refutation of All Heresies, Book VII, Chapter 24

Hippolytus agrees: they misused Nicolas’s name.
He links the Nicolaitans with the Gnostics: they claimed a secret knowledge that justified immoral behavior.
They taught it was spiritually okay to gratify bodily lusts — mixing Christianity with permissive pagan practices.

Apostle Taveau: “Reminds of certain parts of Christianity in Ministry now..

3. CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA (c. 150–215 AD)

Source: Stromata Book II, Chapter 20

Clement defends Nicolas, saying he did not promote immorality — rather, Nicolaitans misused his name.
According to Clement, Nicolas’ real teaching was self-control, not license. The sect twisted it.

4. TERTULLIAN (c. 155–240 AD)

Scattered references:

Tertullian lumps the Nicolaitans with other early heretical groups: Gnostics, Cainites, and others who claimed hidden knowledge and promoted lawlessness.

VIEW: Summary of Early Church View:

Writer	What they said
Irenaeus	Nicolaitans were immoral, misused Nicolas’ name, taught idolatry and fornication were acceptable.
Hippolytus	Tied them to Gnostics; same pattern: “secret knowledge” → moral lawlessness.
Clement	Defended real Nicolas, blamed the sect for twisting his teaching.
Tertullian	Grouped them with early cults that promoted sin disguised as spiritual freedom.

LET’S RESEARCH ROOT WORD MEANINGS

Taveau asks Chat GPT AI

Please determine the Root words for “Nicolaitans”

Chat GPT AI replies

Let’s break it down carefully

1. Greek Root Words

Νικολαΐτης (Nikolaitēs)
- Niko → from νικάω (nikaō)
  - Meaning: to conquer, subdue, overcome, control, or have victory
  - Related word: Nike (Νίκη) → the Greek goddess of victory.
- Laos (λαός) → means the people, common people, the laity.

2. Combined meaning

So, Nicolaitans = “Conquerors of the people”
- In context: it implies dominion over the common believers or control over the congregation.
This fits the Greek idea AND aligns with what some early interpreters believed:
- Not only did they teach moral compromise, they also formed a power hierarchy — lording it over believers.

3. How this applies today

The literal meaning supports two warnings:
POINT: Abusive church authority: Leaders controlling people instead of serving them (cf. 1 Peter 5:3).
POINT: Compromise teaching: Using authority to lead people into spiritual mixture.

Root Word Reference

Greek	Meaning	Scripture Tie
*νικάω (nikaō)*	to conquer, overcome	Rev 2:7 “to him who overcomes…”
*λαός (laos)*	the people, common folk	laity — distinct from clergy

Early Church context

In Revelation, the Nicolaitans misled Christians into:
- Eating food sacrificed to idols
- Sexual immorality
- Blending pagan practices into faith

Chief Point Compromise + Control.

Some church fathers (e.g., Irenaeus) wrote they were a sect twisting Nicolas’s teachings — whether or not Nicolas really started it is debated.

POINT: Historical outworking: ‘Conquering the laity’

POINT: Early Christianity:

Jesus & apostles taught servant leadership: “Not so among you: whoever wants to be great must be your servant.” (Mark 10:42–45)

POINT: Post-apostolic era:

By the 2nd–3rd centuries, churches started forming hierarchical clergy structures:
- Bishops gained authority over multiple congregations.
- The bishop-priest-laity split appeared.
- Ordinary believers lost voice & function → the clergy ruled, laity followed.

POINT: Medieval Church:

Institutionalized priesthood.
Bible kept in Latin; common people couldn’t read it.
Heavy control over daily life, politics, and kings.

POINT Protestant Reformers:

Many saw papal hierarchy as Nicolaitan in spirit: controlling people and keeping them dependent.
Sola Scriptura was a push back: every believer can read, discern, and approach God directly.

Point: How ‘Nicolaitan spirit’ shows up today

POINT Possible forms:

Area	Nicolaitan Pattern
1. Doctrine	Teachings that twist grace into license for sin.
2. Leadership	Authoritarian pastors / leaders demanding blind loyalty, manipulating followers.
3. Finances	Leaders exploiting people for gain, not accountability.
4. Celebrity Culture	Elevating ‘super apostles’ or ‘prophets’ over the common believer’s relationship with Christ.
5. Control over access to God	Insisting people can’t know truth without a ‘covering’ or special mediator.

AGAIN

“Nicolaitan” literally = ‘Victory over the people’ = controlling or dominating them.

Christ hates both:(TD adds….BUT NOT THE PEOPLE, for He is there to CORRECT, HEAL, FORGIVE and DELIVER) spiritual compromise + people-conquering systems.

The Summary

Nicolaitans = literal Greek: conquerors of the people
Spiritually: systems or leaders who dominate and compromise the people’s faith.
Jesus hates it — so should we.
Biblical pattern: servant leadership, Spirit-led believers, mutual accountability.

Apostle Taveau says to ChatGPT

Please expound upon the Nicolaitan spirit: Biblical, historical, modern discernment, and practical signs

Chat GPT replies

1. BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

“Relationships, The Community, Every One Valued, Respected, ‘in Jesus Beloved”(Ephesians 1:6, Mutual Submission First Church,Paul Ephesians 5:21)

A. Jesus’ standard for leaders

Scripture	Key idea
Mark 10:42–45	“Not so among you… whoever desires to be first shall be servant of all.”
1 Peter 5:2–3	“Shepherd the flock… not as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples.”
Matthew 23:8–12	“One is your Teacher, and you are all brethren… whoever exalts himself will be humbled.”

** MAIN POINT: Jesus explicitly forbids controlling leadership. True leadership = serving, feeding, protecting — not lording over.

B. Jesus’ rebuke of Nicolaitans

Revelation 2:6, 2:15: He hates their deeds & doctrines.
They taught compromise with idolatry & immorality — and oppressed the people.

C. Related NT Warnings

Verse	How it connects
2 Peter 2:1–3	False teachers exploit with deceptive words.
Jude 1:4, 11	Ungodly men turn grace into license; compare to Balaam’s error.
Acts 20:29–30	Paul warns elders: wolves will come in, even from among leaders.

Pattern: False leaders mix truth with sin & use control.

2. HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS

++ Early simplicity:

Apostles met in homes; elders were multiple, equal, and plural.

++ Growing hierarchy:

After apostles died, some bishops took sole control.
By 3rd century: monarchical bishop system — one bishop ruled other elders.
By 4th century: state church under Constantine = heavy hierarchy.

++ Reformation:

Protestants fought Nicolaitan-like structures (Papal control, Latin-only Bibles, indulgences).
Key idea: priesthood of all believers — no spiritual class dominating the people.

3. MODERN SIGNS of Nicolaitan influence

Nicolaitan Sign	Real-life example
++ Top-down control	Leaders demand total submission: “Touch not the Lord’s anointed!” used to silence questions.
++ Celebrity worship	Super-apostles exalted; people feel spiritually inferior or dependent on a ‘guru’.
++ No accountability	Leaders rule alone, dismiss dissenters as ‘rebellious’.
++ Compromised morals	Some leaders excuse or hide immorality while preaching ‘grace covers all’.
++ Mixing worldliness	Accepting ungodly trends to draw crowds; moral lines blurred.

4. HOW TO GUARD AGAINST IT (A SECRET TO THE PRESENT CHURCH ..THAT’S NOT WORTH KEEPING)

Know Scripture for yourself** — don’t depend on someone else’s private revelations only (Acts 17:11 — Bereans).

** Value servant leaders — real overseers equip & release, not dominate (Ephesians 4:11–13).

**Test teachings — does it mix truth with sin? (1 John 4:1).

** Watch fruit & character — humble, transparent, and teachable? Or prideful & manipulative?

** Remember: You have direct access to Christ (Hebrews 4:16) — no earthly controller should stand between

5. A SHORT WARNING SERMON

Title: “Jesus Hates the Nicolaitan Spirit — So Should We”

Text: Revelation 2:6, 2:15

Points:

Meaning: Nicolaitans = “those who conquer the people”.
Danger: Spiritual compromise + controlling leaders.
God’s pattern: Servant leadership — not domination (Mark 10:42–45).
Modern test: Is your leader a shepherd or a wolf? (Acts 20:28–30).
Your part: Read the Word, walk in holiness, test spirits, refuse manipulation.
Closing: Jesus loves His sheep and fights for their freedom — stay close to Him!

BOTTOM LINE

** Root: nikaō = conquer; laos = the people.
** Historic pattern: control & compromise always reappear.
** Modern check: churches must teach truth, reject moral mixture, and serve — not control — God’s people.

What Are Signs of the Nicolaitan Spirit Today ?

A. Charismatic / Prophetic streams

Celebrity prophets & apostles: Elevated above normal believers; people fear questioning them.
“Touch not the anointed!” used abusively: The top leadership, governing elders Discourage healthy accountability.
Control through so-called words: Using “prophecy” to direct people’s private choices or manipulate loyalty.
Unquestionable covering doctrine: Leaders claiming they alone have spiritual authority over people’s lives.

B. Hyper-grace circles

Extreme teaching: “All is forgiven, no repentance needed,” so sin is tolerated — moral compromise.
Weak teaching on holiness or correction.

C. Authoritarian churches (non-charismatic too)

Heavy shepherding: members need permission for personal choices (jobs, marriage).
“Spiritual fathers” or “coverings” become spiritual dictators.
Blind loyalty demanded; dissenters labeled rebellious or under judgment.

D. Off Balance KINDS of “so called”Prosperity or ‘celebrity pastor’ cultures (

++TD SAYS ” USE CAUTION PLEASE

REASON : The Visceral..base…Knee Jerk Many Reactions: For many folks rush to TYPECAST, STEREOTYPE and BELIEVE THE EVIL REPORT, THE GOSSIP…but I am not for THAT.

All Born Again TV Ministries….We must note (also maturely)..that each one who is far off, on media, in your local area MIGHT RESEMBLES “ONE ” but may not genuinely (the character, fruit, people that follow them’s FRUIT) actually “BE ” a same ONE.

FOR MANY “LOOK SIMILAR” due to the modern media business presentation, many followers, NOTE that now, please as it is the Salvation Core doctrine and the abiding CHARACTER FRUIT and measured by the VALUE and RESPECT for all kinds, types of human persons (it’s not just about the MONEY, THE SHOW but the LORD and HIS Work) Plus this means character fruit being produced at the “TOP” and also at the “Professional BOTTOM (emulating many followers)

Focus on leader’s personality, brand, power — not Christ.
Financial manipulation: controlling people through tithes/seed teachings without accountability.

2. WE MUST REVIEW FOR THE Bottom line — modern Nicolaitan traits

+ Over-controlling leadership
+ Spiritual intimidation
+ Moral compromise
+ Mixing worldliness to gain influence
+ Blocking believers from direct relationship with Jesus

Deep Research

TD Means : Good foundational ministry doctrines vs. misused control doctrines — history, real modern movements by name, description, how they drifted, and Biblical context

Chat GPT AI in depth replies

1. Healthy, Biblical Ministry Doctrines (the good foundations)

Here are some core teachings that freed the Church from fear and bondage when they were recovered or emphasized afresh in the 20th century:

Doctrine	What it means (Biblical)	Key Scriptures
The Authority of the Believer	Every born-again Christian has authority in Christ over darkness; not passive victims	Luke 10:19, Mark 16:17–18, Ephesians 1:19–23
The Priesthood of All Believers	No special priest class; every believer has direct access to God	1 Peter 2:9, Hebrews 4:16
The Full Redemption by the Cross	Jesus paid all — forgiveness, healing, freedom	Colossians 2:14–15, Isaiah 53:4–5
The Mutual Submission & Body Unity	Leaders equip; all submit to Christ first, then each other in love	Ephesians 5:21, Ephesians 4:1–6
The Freedom in the Spirit	Spirit leads each believer personally; no forced control	2 Corinthians 3:17, Romans 8:14

TD Says:

These flourished especially in the Healing Revivals (1950s), Charismatic Renewal (1960s–70s), and Word of Faith (1970s–80s) — when properly balanced.

But slowly, at the local grass roots, servant style compassionate humiltiy fled, hurriedmoney centrism entered and a lot of this (yet depending upon the Pastor, The Group and The authority of the Christians (usually charismatic, pentecostal, tongue talking) emulating Christian fellowship began began to develop(TD’s words)’ NEO PHARISEEISM (new authority standards, such as gatekeeping (monitoring, keeping tabs, turf guarding, spying church hoppers, rumoring that persons were “unsubmitted” and “not under “THEIR FORM of (LP Levitical Patriarchal(an ongoing sign of Christian Ministry Boys will be Boys “patriarchy” and the subservient indirect, cultlike fierce L Matriarchy) Chris peace keeping, dire, patrolling (seer spying) formidable and attacking, prophetic, can be leader out of order “sick aggressive” and False Immature Authoritarian and legalistic, reporting, spying and often slave -master style (fearsome) often, totalitarian, even a local or renown celebrity worship cult (also these are generally NOT pro Salvation but more into their ORDER, TITLES, FOLLOWING LEADER ORDER and GIFT RENOWN GIFTS)for these are OFF Key Holy Bible “winsome, hopeful” servant leader Doctrine…more “gate keeping ” “pecking order” and ‘Dominating’ often subliminal even silent ” witchcraft…controlling authority)
I owe these a lot for this discovery both POOR and GREAT.

Speaking of “witch” (I Samuel 15:23 Style) False Authority

2. When good doctrines got twisted into cult-like control

Over time, some genuine truths got mixed with flesh, ambition, and elite control systems.

Here’s a list you can cite by name, with plain explanations:

A. Shepherding Movement (1970s–80s)

What it taught (good intent):

Discipleship, personal accountability, submit to spiritual elders.

What went wrong:

Leaders became controlling ‘shepherds’ who made life choices for members: whom to date, what job to take, who could leave.
Members could not question shepherds.
Many churches split or collapsed under spiritual abuse.

Modern echoes:

Some charismatic house churches or accountability networks still quietly replicate it.

B. NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) — Apostles in the Gates of the City “(my woe)

What it teaches (good aim):

Ephesians 4 ‘fivefold’ offices must fully function.
Modern ‘apostles’ should govern cities, culture, governments.
TD cautions” ‘Absolute power corrupts absolutely” For the First Church was CONSENSUS with everyone “mutual submission” and humility NOT ONE MINISTRY STYLE over the Rest (ask GPT AI yourself) I have already written that) and TOP DOWN CHURCH (which is also this not ‘servant leader”

What goes wrong:

‘Apostles’ exalted as spiritual kings with unchecked power.
City-wide networks where dissent is ‘rebellion.’
Tends to drift into forced submission and titles over organic servanthood.

Key leaders linked (by researchers):

Peter Wagner (coined ‘NAR’ term)
Many big apostolic networks in the 90s–2000s

C. Elite Fan Clubs & Mega-Ministries

What it looks like:

Personality-driven leader is the ‘oracle of God.’
Large donations = inside access.
Loyalty tests: disagree = outcast.
Many high-profile TV ministries & conferences have subtle fan club spirit.

Core problem:

Jesus becomes a product, not the Head.
No real mutual accountability.
Flattery culture — ‘touch not the anointed.’

D. Witch-Watching & Inner Divining Cult Leader, Staff, Elders, Devout Lay Type of Invasive, Prying Spirit

Modern twist:

Some prophetic/charismatic groups practice spiritual scanning:
- Claim to ‘see inner wounds’ or secret sins.
- Label people witches, Jezebels, or rebellious — often with zero facts.
- Rely on ‘spectral evidence’ (like Salem Witch Trials).

Key trait:

No healthy (plus respectful, relationship VALUING) authority in their biblical protocol: Matthew 18:15–17, meek one to one,respectful private Paul Galatians 6:1 .. ignored.
1 John 1:7 (walk in the light, open confession, mutual respect) is missing.
Gossip & suspicion replace actual shepherding.

Fruit:

Evil Divisions, trauma, emotional mind games, bias, witch hunting, endless drama, materialism, emphasis on ‘personal gifts, experiences, status, funds, promotion)…never ending false witness “Salem Witch trials” seeming accusations, ..cult, group by control by fear. It ‘authoritarian” Cult Worship.

TD’S PERSONAL REVELATION OF THIS AFTER WONDERING WHY SHE WAS IN SUCH DEMONIC STRESS..national level.

THE PSALM 144 “BEWARE THE STRANGE CHILDREN

“Anti Christ “appearing” Hollywood Effects on the Church followers” (much targeted evil eye, pray against, word cursing, high level eagle divining, tale bearing WASP ELITE LP)

(she is STILL Recovering)

“Be it avarice, The Demas Subculture, Poverty, Ambition, Competition, Wannabeism and Turf Guarding..it make is a desperate condition ..if YOU are not WELL KNOWN, WELL OFF and TRY to attend a “From such turn away commanded “Lovers of themselves”Fellowship” (Described in 2 Timothy 3:1-8, I Timothy 6:5 )..hard nosed, devious, deceptive, predatory, playing, targeting, undermining, praying against…it’s “ROUGH”

I define “praying AGAINST somebody” (especially if you have ever tried to relate, to get to know!!!) as foolish mean”witchcraft”

Dr Taveau’s Apostolic Finding in USA charismatic dysfunction, many of which are grass roots these:
The Psalm 144 “STRANGE CHILDREN”

Taveau says to Chat GPT AI
Please expound upon Psalm 144:7–11 and apply it to Nicolaitan govering authority (control) — if that applies. Also give a full explanation, verses, and how it connects to modern Christian ministry ‘fruits & flows’…if it does.

ChatGPT AI replies:

1. Psalm 144:7–11 (KJV)

7 “Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:

2. How it applies to Nicolaitan spiritual abuse & false doctrine

A. “Great waters” (v7)

In Hebrew poetry, “great waters” = overwhelming chaos, enemies, threats.
Spiritually: False teachings, controlling leaders, manipulative doctrines can feel like drowning in spiritual confusion.

POINT: Modern Nicolaitan tie: When abusive leaders twist grace, mix worldliness, and drown people in confusing, contradictory teachings — it feels like “great waters.”

B. “Strange children” (v7, 11)

Strange = foreign, alien, not truly part of God’s covenant family.
Children = people claiming family status but acting deceitfully.

POINT Modern Nicolaitan tie: False prophets, controlling pastors, or leaders who call themselves “shepherds” but are wolves — spiritually foreign in behavior, though claiming to be family.

C. “Mouth speaks vanity, right hand falsehood” (v8, 11)

Vanity: empty talk, lies, flattery, false promises.
Right hand: symbolizes authority, power — but here it’s deceitful.

POINT Modern Nicolaitan tie:

Fake prophecies.
Promises of blessings for money.
Authoritative ‘words’ meant to control life choices.
Leaders who appear holy but secretly exploit the flock.

D. “Rid me, deliver me”

David cries for rescue from these deceptive, oppressive influences.
So must believers today: “Lord, deliver us from spiritual controllers and false teaching!”

3. Application to real ministry ‘fruits & flows’

Here’s how Psalm 144:7–11 can help you test modern ministries:

Biblical Test	Healthy Ministry Fruits	Nicolaitan/Abusive Signs
Mouth speaks truth or vanity?	Teaches sound doctrine; consistent with Bible; no twisting for gain.	Many big promises, few results; hype over holiness.
Right hand = honest authority or false?	Humble servant leadership; transparent; accountable.	Authoritarian; secretive; manipulative; no checks & balances.
Fellowship = true spiritual family or ‘strange children’?	Genuine love; open relationship; mutual support.	Clique-ish; controlling; condemning dissent; heavy loyalty demands.
Impact = brings freedom or entrapment?	Equips people to stand in Christ, walk in truth, free from sin.	Makes people dependent on leader or ‘covering’; constant fear.

THE CLOSING (at least starting to wind down)

TD APOSTOLIC MINISTRY CLEAR POINT
. Bible: God’s clear standard against all this

Bible truth	False spin
All authority is under Christ alone — Eph 1:20–23	‘Apostle’ or ‘Shepherd’ is untouchable king
Walk in the light, confess freely — 1 John 1:7	‘Inner reading’ behind your back; never direct Matthew 18 approach
Love covers a multitude of sins — 1 Peter 4:8	Gossip & exposure for power
Test all spirits, even prophets — 1 John 4:1	“Don’t touch my anointing!” used to silence questions
Servant leaders, not lords — 1 Peter 5:2–3	Spiritual domination and fear

Assessing Today’s Revered Doctrines” that mirror Nicolaitan control

Below are real teachings and systems that operate with the same DNA — ‘rule the people spiritually.’

Modern Nicolaitan Example	How it conquers the people	Obvious fruits
Shepherding/Heavy Discipleship	Teaches you need a personal shepherd to approve every life choice.	Fear of freedom; passive believers; spiritual dependency; abuse when shepherd sins.
‘Covering Doctrine’ Twisted	Says you are cursed or unprotected if you leave ‘the covering’ of your leader.	Spiritual blackmail; gossip; fear of leaving; blind loyalty to human leader over Jesus.
NAR ‘Super-Apostle’ Model	Claims a few modern apostles rule entire cities & nations, all churches must submit.	Mega-networks that silence dissent; tithes funneled upward; people afraid to question false prophecies.
Celebrity Prophet/Fan Club	Leader claims unique revelation; followers become fans instead of disciples of Jesus.	Immature believers; dependence on new ‘word’; money-driven ‘prophetic’ conferences.
Witch-Hunting / Inner Reading Cult	Claims hidden knowledge about people’s hearts but no biblical Matthew 18 process.	Character assassination; paranoia; suspicion; Christians accuse each other instead of loving, restoring.
Heavy Tithing Threats	Implies that all blessing stops if you don’t tithe to that ministry specifically.	Guilt giving; controlling leaders get rich; poor stay poor; no grace teaching.
Inner Circle Access Model	Promotes hierarchy: normal people must ‘pay dues’ or prove loyalty to get closer to ‘the man of God’.	Cliques, pride, rank-based fellowship, same as ancient priestly castes.

Tips to Detect: Fruits of Modern Nicolaitan Doctrines

POINT Whenever these show up, you know “Nike-laos” is working — conquer the people:

+ Bad fruits:

Fear, not faith
Suspicion, not fellowship
Control, not freedom in Christ
Dependence on a human, not direct access to God
Spiritual abuse scandals
People burned out, leaving the church but still loving Jesus

+ Good fruits (if doctrine is rejected):

Mutual respect (Eph 5:21)
Joyful freedom (Gal 5:1)
Open accountability (Matt 18:15–17)
Jesus as sole Head (Eph 1:22–23)
Leaders SERVING, not ruling (1 Peter 5:2–3)

Key Scripture for Discernment

Scripture	How it crushes Nicolaitan control
Matthew 20:25–28	Be a servant, not a ruler.
Revelation 2:6, 15	Jesus hates Nicolaitan deeds & doctrines.
1 Peter 5:3	Leaders: “not as lords over God’s heritage.”
Galatians 5:1	“Stand fast in liberty… be not entangled again with a yoke of bondage.”
1 John 1:7	Walk in the light; no hidden manipulation.

If you spot ‘Nike-laos’ — run to Jesus!

POINT: If any ministry teaches:

“You can’t go directly to Jesus; you need ME (the famous chief apostle, bishop, pastor, cell leader, area prophet) or our elite group to “APPROVE” as YOU are UNDER MY “OUR” AUTHORITY (no Pauline Phil 2:12 there!)”
“Obey me or YOU’RE cursed/uncovered. YOU WILL FAIL”
“Don’t question US. Our Authority is GOD CALLED. And. Your are “unsubmitted” and “OUR PIECE OF property” And God will punish you for “rebelling” “Going against the apostle, prophet pastor”
You’re JUST a woman..and we realize that YOU all are seductive, in rebelling and unsubmitted. Also as as a people group (Bible) well known to be” easily fooled,deceived”, prone to 2 Timothy 3:6-7 “weak” and willing” meaning…so we can USE YOU.” You’re simply one more piece of our hard earned patriarchal property, a piece of meat , our sacrificial and devoted contributing, praying, volunteering … winsome slave. “

I can saying ANYTHING about and AGAINST YOU but never love YOU enough to verify it in a proper Bible private, face to face confrontation, but because WE are in DEEP WITH LORD, my board and I have “SEEN YOU IN THE SPIRIT” and find that YOU are “blaspheming” and “undermining” and also “Not in FAITH” and “touching MY anointing.” YOU are ACCUSING US and have BIG BAGGAGE..*Typical WELP movement..NO LOVE
“We alone ‘know more” “we are the in crowd of all the Christian ministry “types” Only WE can determine YOUR call, Future, mate, finance…and the inner most secrets of YOUR soul — trust our dark “deep scan’ (demon consicous), rather Jesus pure hearted joy and knowledge of your Bible.”

MAJOR POINT Then it is Nicolaitan in root.
Christ hates it — and He wants you free.

3. PRAYER TO BREAK NICOLAITAN INFLUENCE

Here’s a straightforward prayer you (or your fellowship) can pray aloud:

Prayer Against Nicolaitan Control & Compromise

Heavenly Father,
I come to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep.

Lord, I renounce any spirit or system that tries to conquer, control, or manipulate Your people.

I renounce ALL “spirits of witchcraft to control, to thwart and sabatoge and block, I renounce all skilled witchcraft with it’s lazyiness(witch watching, evil eye, cutting corners by using convenient occult”mind reading” “divining”t”all methods of false authority, including” (Salem Witch Trials) reading persons minds, souls their ‘thirst and vibes..ALSO I repent for not “walking in the Light (no I John 1:7 , Galatians 6;1 ) and for avoiding, trying to control…avoid chatting, getting to know on purpose. And for devaluing and marginalizing, objectifying and using people Also for bearing false witness.

I repent for using Jesus Christ Name in Vain for each person in our Christian church, ministry which means: We profess to be Christians and use Jesus Christ holy name to advertise and to draw people in. But when they come and they do not resemble OUR PREFERRED TYPE, STYLE GENDER, RACE, AGES OR SOCIAL STRATA we avoid, disrespect, pray soulish prayers against. and will only “ACCEPT RESPECT..and “befriend “our pet Style.. This an Anathema in Celebrity. And it is ANTI CHRIST Exodus 20:3 and will be assessed by the Most High God and JUDGED.for it is proud, biased “respecter of persons” and has NO PLACE in Jesus HOUSES. It does not “like” “respect” and” valuing’ genuine human persons.
