A real Christian would naturally be very interested in revival and awakening. In recent years, certain streams have begun in the Body of Christ which have had considerable influence in a short time. One thing is clear, intelligence alone is no defense against deception – no matter who is right. My personal view is that we should major on majors, and minor on minors.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:15,16).
This is the commandment of Jesus. Ignore it at your peril.
Many ministers of the gospel start off well, with a genuine call of God. But somewhere along the line, Satan comes in with an offer, just as he did to Jesus.
Michael,
I have to tell you that although I am a born again Christian, I felt that there was still something missing in my life and I prayed for the Lord to show me what was wrong and I struggled to hang on. Then I started to read and listen to tapes about deliverance. It was sort of confusing, but then I believe the Lord led me to this site. I was looking to try to help my aunt who is having a hard time with her daughter. Suddenly, I saw myself in a lot of the areas that you talked about. I know that this site is anointed because of what has been happening to me since I found it.
“… for we are not ignorant of his devices.” (2 Corinthians 2:11)
Paul and his close co-workers made it their business not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices. This does not mean that Paul spent a lot of time researching all the dark secrets of Satan’s kingdom. No. Paul said to the Romans, “I want you to be wise in what is good, but simple (innocent) concerning evil. And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly” (Romans 16:19). Honestly, we don’t need to be “au fait” with all the latest conspiracy theories and what Satan may or may not be doing (Isaiah 8:12,13).
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
Real Christians are involved in a spiritual conflict. This is a fight in which guns and tanks are of no use. Paul said, “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood”. The conflict is not with people, or nations, but with Satan and his demons. We need to recognise that many times when people oppose us, the reason behind it is spiritual.
The biggest and most fundamental lie that Satan and his demons promote – both to believers and non-believers alike is this: that there is something more important right now than seeking relationship, intimacy and communion with God through Jesus Christ and the fulness of the Holy Spirit. We could call this lie the lie to promote distraction from relationship with God. If someone persists in an undistracted relationship with God for more than a few days Satan’s losses already will be immense.
Some say Jesus was a prophet of God, others a good man. Some say he was an imposter, a magician. Others say Jesus was an adept of mystery religions.
In the evangelical/pentecostal churches there are actually two different versions of gospel being presented by people who would claim they take the Word of God as their authority in faith and practice. I want to draw your attention to the fundamental issue in question here, because it has to do with your ETERNAL SALVATION.
Whenever I come together with the brethren, all things are to be done for edification. 1Cor 14.26
I speak in a tongue and edify myself. 1Cor 14.4
I prophesy and edify the church. 1Cor 14.4
Since I am zealous for spiritual gifts, it is for the edification of the church that I seek to excel. 1Cor 14.12
I speak only such a word as is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Eph 4.29
Hi,
I just wanted to share that for those of us who married before meeting the Lord Jesus, there is hope.
My husband and I were both unsaved when we got married 10 years ago. After two years into the marriage, the revelation came to me that “God loved me”. It was such an amazing concept to me, that One so Great, could love an insignificant ant like me. I fervently read the Bible until the book fell apart. It changed my life. My husband did not like it…it scared him and we ended up separating while he continued his “wild” living.
