During the end times, there will be false apostles, masquerading as apostles of God. The difference is so subtle you won’t pick it up, if you don’t know the word and you will be deceived. Whole congregations can be deceived, when the false prophet turns up and the bible tells us; they’re amongst us.
Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light and his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Satan and his servants come in and undermine the word of God and cause confusion to the people of the congregation, who don’t know the word of God well and then we wonder why the church splits, or fails.
Satan cleverly and subtly gets in to people’s life. Who hasn’t been to a fortune teller, palm reader, or participated in Ouija boards? Who hasn’t read their daily star sign in the magazines on occasion, just to see if it works?
Even horror movies, such as The Exorcist, Amityville Horror, It and Poltergeist, just to name a few. These are all areas, where we open our mind to the evils of the world. We are drawn to evil. It’s intriguing and appealing. Even the subtilty of the white witch, where you think it’s ok, because you do no harm. It’s still witchcraft and sorcery. Don’t be deceived into thinking it’s harmless.
Deuteronomy mentions the detestable things of God and what practicing these things will result in. God is a God of love, but he’s also a God of wrath and He will bring His judgements on His people, whether they believe it or not.
Satan has a way of making things look good, or at least look not so bad; through music, movies, books, through the internet especially, where evil seems to flourish. Be mindful of what you look at and listen to. Ask yourself; would Jesus be caught reading this book, watching this movie, listening to this song?
You don’t need your loved one, who has passed away, to speak to God for you either. You don’t need to speak to the dead. God doesn’t want you seeking the dead. He wants you to turn and seek Him.
Satan makes it sound so harmless, but it’s all against God, even just a little bit is enough to displease God and bring joy to Satan. All this might sound old fashioned and fuddy-duddy, but the bible hasn’t changed its tune for thousands of years.
Satan likes nothing better than to cause us to think we can be like God and there’s many works on the internet, which push that agenda.
We think with positive thinking, we can have, do and be all that we want and we can, to a point, because we’re on this earth to overcome; overcome monetary issues, relationship issues, health issues, addictions and much more, however, don’t fall for teachings that say we can be like God. It’s because Satan tried to be like God that he was cast out of heaven.
The Great I Am, is the same yesterday, today and forever. You are not God! You cannot be God!
When you start with the gospel and fall away, because you think you don’t need it and you think you can become God, this is a warning to you; Don’t be fooled by beautiful packaging.
The Pharisee’s had the greatest intentions, but they’d been led astray. They thought they were a pure people. Over time though, they became self-righteous. They changed laws. Laws Moses had written. Laws that were given to Moses, by God. But they missed it. They missed Jesus, because they couldn’t get passed their own pride and therefor didn’t see the Son of God, when He was right there, with them.
The strong man guards his house, but when someone stronger comes along, they take his stuff. Satan is the strong man, stronger than you and he proclaims his power, but you have been given all power, all authority, through Jesus Christ. If you have all authority, then Satan has none.
Satan is the strong man, particularly if you’re not following the biblical truths. Satan is very subtle. Satan can even can come across as neutral. Jesus says if you are not with me, you’re against me. There’s no neutrality, or middle ground. You’re either for Jesus, or you’re not. If you’re not with Jesus, you are against Him.
Do you think Jesus was telling the truth? Ask yourself; Was Jesus a liar? The Pharisees tried to accuse Jesus of wrongdoing. They could not find anything in Jesus, to accuse Jesus, because Jesus is all Truth.
Fill yourself with what is right and good and you’ll have no need for all the junk. Keep good food in your store house. If you eat junk, you’ll end up sick and it’s the same with mental junk. You need to put good things into your mind and stop with all the junk and your life will be peaceful and full of joy.
The only way to resist the devil, is to be filled with the word of God.
If you have a lot of junk in your life, going to church one morning a week, isn’t enough. Satan is getting to you, particularly if you’re still sitting on the fence. And you’ll continue to have junk in your life, until you ask Jesus into your life, until you spend time with Jesus, getting to know Jesus and learning to understand the ways of Jesus.
If you’re already a Christian, get into the word of God daily. Don’t think church one morning a week, is enough. Like food, which you eat three and four times a day, you need spiritual nourishment continually throughout your day, not just for two hours on a Sunday morning.
And it’s not all doom and gloom either. If there is a satanic element in the world, there is also the opposite, because for every opposite there is an equal. Up, down, in, out, rain, sun, black, white, dark, light. There is an angelic element, just as there is a satanic element.
Angels are mentioned in the bible, more times than speaking in tongues and throwing out the fleece. Angels come to our aid, when we call on them. Angels are entertained by us, when at times, we don’t even know it. The opposite side of the coin, is the better side, depending on which side you look at.
We get to chose the direction of our path, even when bad things happen. Do we become bitter, when bad things happen, or better? The choice is yours.
As it says in Proverbs 9:10; The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Choose wisely.
