POINT: Modern meaning of โ€œGatekeepingโ€

  • In everyday use, gatekeeping means controlling access to something valuable (knowledge, community, position, or influence).

  • It often has a negative sense โ€” implying someone decides who is โ€œinโ€ and who is โ€œoutโ€, or who is โ€œqualified enough.โ€

  • In modern work or social media, gatekeeping can mean setting up unnecessary hurdles to belong or be heard.

True Point: How this applies to Christian leadership

In churches or ministries, gatekeeping can show up when:

  • Pastors, apostles, or prophets decide who is allowed to minister, teach, or have a voice.

  • Leaders restrict who can serve in certain roles or who can โ€œspeak intoโ€ othersโ€™ lives.

  • A few people act as โ€œspiritual bouncersโ€, controlling fellowship, access to resources, or who is โ€œapproved.โ€

  • Sometimes it protects healthy doctrine and order (good gatekeeping).

  • Sometimes it becomes abuse of power or controlling, like the โ€œNicolaitansโ€ spirit (bad gatekeeping).

Point: Biblical caution

  • The New Testament does teach shepherding (pastoral care) and elders guarding the flock (Acts 20:28-30).

  • But Christ rebukes heavy-handed control: โ€œYou shut up the kingdom of heaven against menโ€ฆโ€ (Matt 23:13).

  • True biblical oversight points to serving, not controlling: โ€œNot as lords over Godโ€™s heritage, but being examplesโ€ฆโ€ (1 Pet 5:3).

Point: In modern local governance

  • Apostles & prophets may set healthy boundaries for doctrine & fellowship โ€” this is wise oversight.

  • But when they police every detail, monitor personal lives, or make themselves the only โ€œaccessโ€ to God โ€” it crosses into harmful gatekeeping.

ย Bottom Line:

  • Gatekeeping in ministry can be protective and biblical if it guards truth humbly.

  • It becomes toxic when leaders hoard power, limit freedom, and block healthy relationship with Christ and the Body.

Submitted all as Selah and “Only if any shoe fits in this, should anyone try to wear any part in it”

Sister T Training Policy

TD POINT: Gatekeeping: What It Means & How It Affects the Church

1. Again: What is Gatekeeping?

Apostle TD View:

Whomever “OWNS THE RULES” and “MINDS OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS”

  • Modern term: Controlling who gets access, influence, or permission.

  • Common in media, business, and now church culture.

  • Can be healthy or unhealthy.

ย 2. Gatekeeping in Christian Leadership

  • Biblical purpose: Protect sound doctrine, guard the flock (Acts 20:28; Titus 1:9).

  • Biblical warning: Do not block or hinder people from coming to Christ (Matthew 23:13).

  • True oversight: Pastors, apostles, prophets, and elders are to equip, not control (Ephesians 4:11โ€“12; 1 Peter 5:3).

3. Healthy vs. Unhealthy Gatekeeping

Healthy Gatekeeping Unhealthy Gatekeeping
Guards biblical truth Controls peopleโ€™s access to God
Protects the fellowship from harmful teaching Micromanages personal lives
Equips saints to grow and lead Creates dependence on the leader
Serves humbly as an example Becomes a โ€œlordโ€ over the flock

MAJOR PERSPECTIVE: IN THE GARDEN “GENESIS ORDER”

Clarifying Biblical Order: The First Garden Chain of Command vs. Modern Control

Apostle Taveau Says: Picture : Bringing Adam and Eve Out of the Stone Age Greek Mindset

In this season of confusion, mistrust, controlling abuse, and mixed teachings about authority, covering, male headship, and spiritual gatekeeping, I want to plainly clarify what I believe and practice:

POINT:ย  Godโ€™s Original Design: Adam First, Then Eveโ€œAnd the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.โ€ โ€” Genesis 2:18 (KJV)

โ€œAnd the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a womanโ€ฆโ€ โ€” Genesis 2:22 (KJV)

TD POINT: Adam was formed first โ€” representing initial responsibility and order.


APOSTOLIC TD POINT Eve was formed from Adamโ€™s side โ€” signifying same flesh, same DNA, same worth, same value ,same importance


BIG POINT She was not “less them” “dimwitted,” and NOTย  taken from his foot (to be bruised, crushed and trampled ) nor his head (to rule over him), but his side โ€” an EQUAL VALUABLE, TEAMMATE CO-LABORER, VALUEDย  partner.

This is the Creatorโ€™s chain of command โ€” not manโ€™s later religious misuse.
It speaks of order, not oppression.

VIEW New Testament Lens: Mutual Honor

Apostle Paul echoes this balance:

โ€œSubmitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.โ€ โ€” Ephesians 5:21 (KJV)


โ€œWives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.โ€ โ€” Ephesians 5:22 (KJV)(** I FEEL THE NEEDย  to explain this (later, separately)ย  due to the devaluing, accusing of being LESSER also the excuse for using, defiling,ย  many women)


โ€œHusbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for itโ€ฆโ€ โ€” ( (MANY Christian men, Men need to be TAUGHT what that MEANS..I plan to do it later) Ephesians 5:25 (KJV)

I, EORR CROSS BODY UNITY APOSTOLIC FOUNDER, MINISTRY TEACH:

  • Marriage is a team. Husband and wife are co-equal image bearers, both fully capable, mature, respected, and heard.

  • In daily life, they talk, decide, pray, and plan together โ€” (Paul ministry Ephesians 5:21 “mutual submission.” which resembles Sheriff Andy Taylor on Mayberry RFD who relates honestly, respectfully with each: his Aunt Bea, Son Opie, Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife and all kinds of country townspeople”

  • If there is a heated disagreement, there is a final tie-breaker: the husband, accountable to Christ, steps away, prays, and returns with what he believes is the Lordโ€™s will โ€” never lording over, but laying down his own comfort for the good of the family. (Based on God forming Adam before Eve and starting a one to one apart relationship with THE HEAD OF PLANET, GOVERNOR, HOME and then the female, Eve.

  • Theย  life long wife, is to be “invested in” “quality time spent with” and also valued, respected, , honored and guarded (but not authoritarian controlled)ย  dignified,she can have her say but is respectful, valuing in return. She is not to be minimized, kept out of any family making a decision over all process and is not relagated to “second class” “or dismissed and regarded as NOT WORTHY and deserving to have her way or her say”

  • Also she isย  not forced, abused,ย  controlled, or silenced talked against …..by the husband ….to his family, the neighbors or ” the boys” (and the same goes for the loyal wife).

This is not the dictator model.
It is the First Garden + Ephesians 5:21โ€“22 model: love first, order second, with respect all around.

POINT Church Leadership vs. Home Order

I separate:

  • Biblical home order โ€” one man, one woman, one God โ€” loving chain of command for peace, not pride.

  • Church and spiritual Body order โ€” many members, one Christ the Head, all equally royal priests, overseen by servant elders, not dictators.

No man, pastor, apostle, or prophet was ever given license to micro-control grown womenโ€™s daily spiritual life just because they are female

ย Summary: What I And All of this EORR, Cross Body Unity Stand For

1. I believe in Godโ€™s designed chain of command for marriage, rooted in creation order, not post-fall control. I believe in RESPECT for those who have differences of opinion, life choices, politics, gender real issues and theology, But I will honor these for “not being LUKEWARM” yet I will honor all who are “Respectful” and “Calm” toward this myself,

REAL RESPECT WHEN INTERACTING WITHย  DIFFICULT VIEWPOINTS

NOTE: I believe that regularย  CHRISTIAN MAN and WOMAN are well trained to respect they will not open berate, jump, word curse, accuse, demean or judge, bigot against, target, Bible stomp, and openly diatribe AGAINST anyone that “NOT” their theological, faith, identity ,political choice (life cup of tea) I can HANDLE OTHERS who are not like myself and I HONOR THEM as FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS made in God’s Image and who are BELOVED and RESPECTED by HIM and BY MYSELF and this EORR Cross Body Movement

ALWAYS “HIS REAL RESPECT”ย 

NOTE: To show Jesus Christ RESPECT is the lowest bar in “sharing the love and witness of Jesus Christ, the Messiah”

THIS IS REAL RESPECT (an inside ,quiet, calm real witness)

โ€œAnd hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.โ€
โ€” Romans 5:5 (KJV)

Key points in this verse:
1. โ€œshed abroadโ€ โ€” means poured out generously, overflowing.
2. โ€œin our heartsโ€ โ€” not just in our minds or actions, but deep within.
3. โ€œby the Holy Ghostโ€ โ€” itโ€™s not self-generated, but given by the Spirit.(not works, silent given of His Silent Grace)

FOR THESE REASONS: For many people have been OFFENDED by the “Christian” be it their own MAMA , a picketer against LGBTQ and /or foreign faith, racial profiling. HENCE I DO NOT to REMIND OF THAT HEARTLESS TACKY “PERSON OF BIBLE FAITH” as they have HAD IT NOW and ARE FED UP and I truly UNDERSTAND THAT. These NOT demons or subhuman but THAT IS WHAT MEDIA and CERTAIN VOCAL GROUPS which call themselves BIBLE BEIEVING CHRISTIANS REALLY DO.ย 

Let Me Explain:
NOTE YOU and I, THEY AND I, I AND ANY OF YOU, ANY or ALL OF THEM MENTIONED ABOVE to AGREE WITH, CONDONE OR ENDORSE YOU OR I, OR I AND THEM (OR YOURSELF)

BACK ON COURSE OF CHRISTIAN “LEGALLY WED“...BIBLE MALES FEMALES

2. I believe in mature, collaborative, prayerful decision-making between spouses.
3 I reject authoritarian, lording behavior that crushes the Spirit or silences half the Body.
4. I support Ephesians 5:21โ€“22 as two sides of the same coin: mutual respect, wise leadership, willing submission โ€” never forced domination.

Summary

โ€œNevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.โ€ โ€” Ephesians 5:33 (KJV)

Marriage is not a battlefield. It is a team sport under Godโ€™s loving leadership.

If we honor the First Garden pattern and the New Covenant freedom, we can cast out fear, pride, control, and Pharisee yeast โ€” and model the beauty of Christ and His Bride.

SPECIFIC ABUSE DANGER CLAUSE

(TD’S lived it)

ABUSE AND EXTREME VIOLENCE: “The Old Christian Marriage Rules” Tell death do us part; In light of NOW: Till death do us part EQUALS “natural death, but also “If he/she is KILLING YOU from the OUTSIDE IN or the INSIDE OUT “Then GET OUT. **
**Note: By leaving for SAFETY, AVOID TRAUMA, PERMANENT WOUNDING, DEATH…this “fleeing for Life and Health’s, Kids Sake”ย  does not necessarily mean and imply “one is automatically getting or will seek a divorce” that LATER onceย  YOU (anyย  CHILDREN are SAFE._ (Be male, female, black, white or brown, elder or younger)

BASIC MEGA POINT
Are Christian Men โ€” or All Church Leaders โ€” Supposed to Be Gatekeepers Over Everyone?

โ€œFor there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.โ€ โ€” 1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)

MAIN POINT: Modern Confusion: Are All Men in Leadership Supposed to Police Everyone?

Many church cultures โ€” especially in certain charismatic, apostolic, or traditional denominational streams โ€” believe: (For THESE. (am giving this to calmly address for your VOICELESS MANY and I am merely training FREEDOM for each group, each person, each male, female to have the CHOICE under Apostle Paul in Philippians 2:12 “to hear God for themselves without being vilified, berated, have a YOUTUBE showing their faces, calling them out in a public, merciless or local pulpit, bully jump in public “religious” setting (which I have repeatedly witnessed)

+ Men = Automatic spiritual authority but are not allowed to minister, train or have authority (MANY)
+ MANY GROUPS views that ONLYย  male elders, theirย  staff, or ordained men are THE GOD MANDATED “APOSTOLIC “Gatekeepers over ALL, mainly ALL women, youth, races, cultures(that is to be decided by each healthy group, I am not attacking this but I HAVE SEEN IT DONE ON YOUTUBE AND VIDEO (word cursing females, NOT valuing, respecting these as FELLOW HUMAN PERSONS (I address this as a CHARACTER, FRUIT and DOCTRINALย  SUPERIOR PRIDE, BIGOTRY, REAL ISSUE_
+ Authoritarian Tradition “required Back Under the Old Timey Law “RULES” r” One (and mostly WOMEN) must be โ€œunder a coveringโ€ of a man or office, or else they are rebellious

This belief did NOT come from the First Church described in the Bible. It grew from centuries of hierarchy, patriarchal tradition, and human fear.

Historical Snapshot: How the Early Church Handled Order

In the Book of Acts, elders and apostles guided doctrine and order:

  • They corrected false teaching (Acts 15:6โ€“21).

  • They protected the flock from wolves (Acts 20:28โ€“30).

  • They equipped every believer to minister โ€” they did not police daily life like a Big Boss ,Authoritrian or Controlling, Demanding Executive Board.

Leadership was servant-based:

**โ€œNeither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock.โ€ โ€” 1 Peter 5:3 (KJV)

Jesus Himself commanded:

โ€œBut it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister.โ€ โ€” Matthew 20:26 (KJV)

1. Authority protected the people; it did not control them.
2. The Holy Spirit led each person directly (Acts 2:17โ€“18).
3. The church was a living Body โ€” not a top-down chain of command.


FIRST CHURCH VS NOW:

HISTORY Apostolic History

Big Point: the very first church was Bible organic and “servant leader” without authoritarian top man control. There were no “Big I’s, Little You’s as is now. I have researched this backwards and forwards and realize that right now there are 2 Christian ministry “forms” on the earth today. ONE IS Bible Organic (servant leader, each person in Ephesians 5:21 “mutual submission” practicing (must be trained Gal 5:23 “self government and perceiving, abiding by and respecting ALL in place authority and other person ‘boundaries’ (like this abiding James 3:17 person, and top founder, mature leader of this ministry equipping informal yet governing “apostolic Galatians 1:1-2 “EORR CROSS BODY UNITY movement.

Top-Down Authoritarian Model Bible Organic First Church Model
Man at the top โ†’ middle leaders โ†’ congregation obeys Christ at the head โ†’ apostles/elders guide doctrine โ†’ each believer Spirit-led
Heavy hierarchy: titles, ranks, chain of command Shared servant leadership: elders shepherd, donโ€™t lord
People depend on men for permission to serve or speak People are free under Christ, with accountability but no control
Fear-based โ€œcoveringโ€: step out = rebellion Love-based covering: Christ is the covering, leaders are examples
Gatekeeping must protect biblical truth without replacing CHRIST as the ” true Shepherd”. Leaders are called to serve, equip, and release, not to police, to corral and to stifle or dread the flock. Paul mentions each of our personal “freedom” to go to God and let Him help us make our inner and outside decisions, even our form of authority, Bible believing: this is Philippians (not hard edged Philistine) 2: 12 command to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

Q.What does it mean when a local senior pastors โ€œgatekeepโ€and patrol and “rat on” many people about strangers, newbies,ย  ย far-off person who are not in their fellowship, their borrd, the family, their work..(often it’s LONE quiet person, often the LONE APPEARING woman)?

TD ADDS: from 35 years plus of embedded observation, bad experience, noticing many others maltreated, misrepresented by this Squire Style..that this”pastor style”ย  might be even well connected in a national, regional even global sense. And they might want to share, “To warn” and keep informed each one of their many “Bretheren ” in that Christian ministry

Some, who are more stealth, warlike and occult, can ‘divine and inner scan, read persons’ (just like accusing Salem Witch Trials) Based on the size, vibe, gender, look, age, race..

Sister T says
Please describe what is happening with all of this big goings on?

Chat responds

When a group of pastors gossip or โ€œreportโ€ among themselves that someone (often a LONE APPEARING woman and/or a quiet man) is:
1. Unsubmitted
2. Not under a spiritual covering
3.ย  A Jezebel
4.ย  A witch/warlock
5.. Sinning sexually

6. Has come because they are “Hunting for a man”
7.ย  A rumored church hopper

POINT: This is modern โ€œgatekeeping gossipโ€ โ€” leaders policing who is โ€œclean enoughโ€ to belong.

POINT :Often done behind the scenes, not with biblical Matthew 18 private dialogue.
POINT These labels are serious accusations, but usually based on rumor, control culture, or fear of losing influence โ€” not on clear, witnessed sin handled with truth and love.

TD CONCLUDES: it’s predatory, unsafe, believes the evil report, not Bible submitted (no relationship respect, it’s elite, classist gender biased, appearance biased, avoidant, unsafe, violation the individual rights to think and do, and is clearly missing APOSTOLIC PROTOCOL

ONE:ย  1 John 1:7 (KJV)โ€œBut if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.โ€

Key idea: True believers walk honestly in Christโ€™s light โ€” this creates real fellowship and keeps us clean through Jesusโ€™ sacrifice.(we note that the last part of the verse is dependent upon them /us living the FIRST PART)

TWO: Galatians 6:1 (KJV)โ€œBrethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.โ€

Key idea: If someone sins, the mature response is gentle restoration โ€” not gossip or harsh condemnation.(Face to face, one to one, in private, meekly)ย 

THREE Matthew 18:15โ€“16 (KJV)

โ€œMoreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.โ€

ย Key idea: Jesusโ€™ clear process for conflict resolution:
POINT: Talk privately first. (ABSENT, MISSING, NEVER EVER ONCE HAS OCCURRED TO THE OFT FALSE WITNESS, WORD CURSED, PRAY AGAINST, WITCH WATCHED, AND IN PUBLIC JUMPED HUMAN (calm, abiding Jame 3:17 peaceable approachable mature, easy going fruit) humble style PERSON..
POINT If no resolution, bring one or two witnesses.
POINT If still no resolution, then tell it to the church (see v.17).

TD QUESTIONS: ?? WHO DOES THIS ??( As she has lived to tell about it)

“I always note age, race, group, politics, ministry flow, doctrine ) and it ONLY seems to a TOP DOWN WELP, WELM in famous celebrity style group who is full of themselves and has NO RESPECT for new, leader, unknown ‘viable” persons. (LP Need to Be OVER US, squire Charismatic)”NAR, shepherding move, LP , Mega Micro Systems, World wide well known but cult spirit

NOW MAIN POINT: Revelation 2:29 (KJV)

โ€œHe that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.โ€

ย Key idea: The Holy Spirit still speaks โ€” each person and local church must be attentive and obedient to Him.

Sister T asks Chat GPT:ย 

What does it reveal about the local, regional,national office pastorsโ€™ group whose character, move does all of this?

Chat GPT replies
They have created an inner circle โ€” a power structure that:

  • Tries to control reputation and access.

  • Uses labels to discredit someone without fair hearing.

  • Operates in fear or pride, not in humility or grace.

  • Ignores biblical due process (Matthew 18:15โ€“17, Galatians 6:1).

This behavior matches Pharisee-like โ€œyeastโ€ โ€” adding man-made tradition and fear-based control to Christโ€™s simple gospel.

ย Pharisee spirit & yeast in the Bible

1. What is โ€œyeast of the Phariseesโ€?

  • Jesus warned: โ€œBeware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadduceesโ€ (Matthew 16:6).

  • Meaning: Hypocrisy, man-made rules, control, fake holiness that spreads like yeast.

2. Big Boss tradition:

  • Many church leaders claim apostolic authority but act like Pharisees: policing externals, punishing free people, fearing loss of status.

  • They burden people with labels, fear, or threats instead of leading with mercy and truth.

ย Biblical contrast

  • Jesus knew the heart and loved the outcasts โ€” He defended the woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery, and the sinful woman with the alabaster jar.

  • He rebuked the Pharisees who slandered and misjudged people to maintain control.

  • True spiritual authority restores gently, never shames or isolates by gossip.

ย Key point

POINT:ย  Calling someone Jezebel, witch, church hopper, or unsubmitted โ€” without personal relationship, direct evidence, or grace โ€” is spiritual slander, not biblical discernment.

++ Real Kingdom oversight tests the fruit: love, truth, peace, accountability โ€” not rumor or hierarchy.

ย Bottom line

โ€œJudge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.โ€ (John 7:24, KJV)

โ€œBy their fruits ye shall know them.โ€ (Matthew 7:20, KJV)

โ€œRestore such an one in a spirit of meeknessโ€ฆโ€ (Galatians 6:1, KJV)

LAST: ME RETEACHING QUEEN JEZEBEL

Revelation 2:20 (KJV)

โ€œNotwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.โ€

TD POINT:ย  ย Jesus Rebuked the Leader, Not Just โ€œJezebelโ€

Many use this verse to label any strong woman a โ€œJezebel spirit.โ€
This is shallow and partly wrong.

NEW POINT The real Holy Spirit context:

  • Jesus is speaking to the church in Thyatira.

  • He addresses His words to the lampstand overseer โ€” the top leader / apostolic elder responsible for guarding the flock.

  • The issue was not that a woman existed, or even that her name was literally Jezebel.

  • The issue was that the appointed leader tolerated an unclean, manipulative influence inside Christโ€™s church.

  • Might be male dominating, fierce controller of any race, demeanor or ANYBODY
  • Also it might be a WOMAN leader now faced with fierce female OR male, any other

ย TD Key point #1 โ€” Jesus Rebuked the Male Overseer, Not Just the Troublemaker

1. โ€œThou sufferestโ€ฆโ€ = You allow it.
2. He had Christโ€™s authority to confront deception โ€” but he feared, tolerated, or passively avoided dealing with it.
3. The Holy Spirit holds the leader responsible for protecting the people from seductive teaching and controlling spirits.

NOTE: This is timeless โ€” it applies to all overseers, apostles, senior pastors, business CEOs, family heads.
Fearful passivity is sin. Loving authority is commanded

ย Key point #2 โ€” Itโ€™s a Principle for Any Gender, Age, Race

โ€œJezebelโ€ here is a spiritual metaphor for manipulative, unsubmitted, deceptive control.

  • This can appear in a man or a woman.

  • It is not about gender โ€” it is about the spirit behind the behavior.

  • It is also about leadersโ€™ fear of confronting drama, power plays, or idolatry because they donโ€™t want conflict.

Key point #3 โ€” The Overseerโ€™s Failureย 

The โ€œlampstandโ€ in Revelation means the local church or ministryโ€™s spiritual light.
Christ threatens to remove it if leaders refuse to address compromise:

โ€œRemember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.โ€ โ€” Revelation 2:5 (KJV)

The light goes out not because of one deceiver โ€” but because the shepherds allowed the wolf to stay in the pen.

ย Key point #4 โ€” This Applies to Ministry, Business, and Life

Any place with influence โ€” a church, a fellowship, a family, a company โ€” must guard against:

  • Tolerating controlling, manipulative power players.

  • Letting intimidation or fear override godly correction.

  • Excusing sin because โ€œitโ€™s too messy to address.โ€

Biblical Back-Up: What Leaders Must Do

1.” Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereofโ€ฆ neither as being lords over Godโ€™s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.โ€ โ€” 1 Peter 5:2โ€“3 (KJV)

2. โ€œBrethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meeknessโ€ฆโ€ โ€” Galatians 6:1 (KJV)

3.โ€œMoreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him aloneโ€ฆโ€ โ€” Matthew 18:15 (KJV)

Jesus calls for mature spiritual leadership:
1. Correct privately. One to one, face to face, respectfully, humble, firmly, (when you are afraid, do a Matthew 18: 16 privately, calmly purely, respectfully (no accusing)
2. Address sin humbly and firmly.
3.Do not let manipulation, bullying, authoritarianism destroy Christs’ Representation in any size Christianย  group.

ย Final Kingdom Wisdom

Revelation 2:20 is not a license to “presume, assess, and size up ” and /doggedlyย  hunt โ€œJezebelsโ€ in the congregation, around your area. (typecasting misogynist anti woman, plainly bigoted) (fraidy cat, weak whimp).
It is a sobering word to every overseer and gatekeeper:
1. Be brave.
2. Be clear.
3 Confront the real spirit โ€” in love and truth.
4. Do not fear pushback.
5. Protect the flock; do not tolerate deception, whatever its gender, title, or popularity.

ย โ€œHe that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.โ€ โ€” Revelation 2:29 (KJV)

“If no shoe fits,etc”…Potential reasons why SOME OF US no longer attend one of these fellowships even NO ON LAND MINISTRY. Submitted as Realistic Empathetic 2 Timothy 3:1-8 Cause Selah

FINAL PART ….SUMMARY

Nicolaitans, Jezebel & Gatekeeping โ€” A Candid Look at Fleshly* Control vs. Holy Spirit Freedom (* fling of the flesh)

In Revelation, Jesus directly names two dangerous corruptions that infect His Body:
POINT:ย  The doctrine and deeds of the Nicolaitans.
POINT: The tolerance of โ€œJezebel,โ€ a manipulative spirit.
He says plainly: โ€œwhich thing I hate.โ€ (Revelation 2:6, 2:15, KJV)

What do these have in common?

Both are works of the flesh โ€” not the Holy Spirit.

โ€œNow the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies…โ€
Galatians 5:19โ€“20 (KJV)

Jezebel represents fleshly manipulation, sexual or emotional control, and a pushy influence that tries to dominate relationships and spiritual direction.
Nicolaitans represent fleshly hierarchy โ€” a power structure that conquers believers instead of serving them. It replaces Spirit-led organic leadership with rigid top-down control.

ย How does this relate to Gatekeeping?

Gatekeeping, in its true biblical sense, means guarding the door:

  • Protecting the flock from wolves (Acts 20:28โ€“31 KJV).

  • Testing doctrine (1 John 4:1 KJV).

  • Holding leaders to Christโ€™s standard (1 Peter 5:2โ€“3 KJV).

But when gatekeeping is done in the flesh, it turns Nicolaitan:

  • Leaders become self-appointed gate-lords, deciding who is โ€œinโ€ or โ€œoutโ€ based on fear, control, or status.

  • People are labeled โ€œrebellious,โ€ โ€œunsubmitted,โ€ โ€œwitch,โ€ or โ€œJezebelโ€ when they simply ask healthy questions or follow the Holy Spirit for themselves.

  • Gatekeepers stop pointing people to Jesus the true Door (John 10:9 KJV) and instead build fences around their own kingdoms.

In short:
Jezebel controls by seduction and fear.


Nicolaitans control by rank and oppression.


Fleshly gatekeeping feeds both.

WDJD ? (What Did Jesus Do?)

What did Jesus model instead?

POINT Servant leadership: (heart condition)

โ€œ…he that is chief, as he that doth serve.โ€ (Luke 22:26 KJV)

POINT Mutual submission: (heart mind condition)

โ€œSubmitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.โ€ (Ephesians 5:21 KJV)

POINT Spiritual authority that equips, not enslaves: (actions that reflect the heart, mind, nature, human compassion of God)

โ€œFor the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christโ€ฆโ€ (Ephesians 4:12 KJV)

ย The True Lampstand Standard

In Revelation 2:20, Jesus rebukes not just the controlling spirit, but the fearful overseer who allows it:

โ€œNotwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel...โ€

(now days could be a man or any human, also a movement, subculture like this on “occult to control”

This shows that:
1. God hates when leaders fear conflict more than they fear compromise, being controlled.
2. He hates when shepherds tolerate manipulation.
3. He hates when authority is used to dominate people instead of protecting and freeing them.

ย Final Call โ€” What The Spirit Says Now

Today, the Holy Spirit still says:

โ€œHe that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.โ€ (Revelation 2:29 KJV)

Believers must:
1. Walk in the Light (1 John 1:7 KJV).


2. Restore each other gently (Galatians 6:1 KJV).


3. Confront ministry error, abject sin directly and biblically (Matthew 18:15โ€“16 KJV).


4. Reject any spirit โ€” male or female, person, Christian authorityโ€” that manipulates, demands complete authority top dog control (MY way or the Highway)/rule, micromanage, wears down, puts fear on the people, uses methods bearing fruit ofย  seduction, or rules from the flesh.

Godโ€™s true gatekeepers are watchmen and servants, not dictators and fear-mongers.

ย Conclusion: Burn the Nicolaitan Ladder

  • If the local fellowship looks more like a human pyramid than an organic Body โ€” the Nicolaitan spirit is at work.
  • If leaders are terrified to correct controlling people โ€” the lampstand dims.
  • If we all love one another, serve one another, and submit first to Christ โ€” the Nicolaitan ladder and Jezebelโ€™s throne both fall down.

ย Stand on This:โ€œBut if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with anotherโ€ฆโ€

(1 John 1:7 KJV)โ€œWhere the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.โ€
(2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV)

NOTE: โ€œHe that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

(Revelation 2:29 KJV)

ย Let the Church be free. Let the gates stay pure. Let Jesus be Lord alone.
