Beware! Deceiving Spirits are Everywhere

Last night, I had a personal message from God that the true church has deceiving spirits wandering all over. It sounds dark but it is very plausible. Where would the deceiving spirits go then? Of course to those who are of the truth. Would the devil confuse the churches which are already confused and lost? Probably not.

Whenever there is a personal motive that emerges from the people of the church, deceiving spirits spring out. It whispers something indifferent from the path of the church. It cries division, confusion, pride or anything alike. This is really disturbing and alarming.

1 Timothy 4:1 – Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Deceiving spirits works the same as the Holy Spirit

The voices or the forces may come gently and peacefully like all the other ways of guidance you had before. You can hardly tell the difference. Without someone’s help, it is impossible to isolate the deceiving spirit base on your own awareness. It is almost as comparable as the certain good spirit it imitates.  How can a deceiving spirit deceive someone if it could not imitate its counterpart effectively? That is why it is called a deceiving spirit. Its sole purpose is to deceive God’s people. Many become vulnerable because of their tainted motives.  Sadly, many will be deceived. They will believe and eventually follow a lie. They may become willing instruments against God’s ordinances and plans. Once started, there maybe no turning back.

1 Corinthians 14:33 – For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

There is no easy way to distinguish deceiving spirits on your own. The only usual way to distinguish it from the Holy Spirit is by its end results. I will give you a tip, when there’s a confusion that might be the first sign. Therefore, be careful. Who do you think is the author of confusion?

You will need someone with a gift of discerning spirits. Although, this gift comes and goes. It is not permanent. You may have it one day but may lose it the next day. It is tricky, it really is. But definitely, you need someone who have more understanding of God’s words than yourself. Their guidance and help is of necessity.  Let’s face it, we are all exposed but we need to let others come, particularly those with anointing and authority. It is literally just them who could guide and lead us back. At this point, God can not literally lead you. Because He permitted it.

1 John 4:1 – Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Beware, when you have the impure motives you are giving the deceiving spirits permission to tempt you.  Do you know that even God may permit deception even upon His very elect? God may allow evil in you if you can’t resist them. Most permissions are not up to God but mostly it is upon us. It is upon our hearts and motives. 

Matthew 24:24 – For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Be careful. Don’t  be so lax, negligent and careless. Always ask for mercy and guidance with fear and trembling. Cry to God passionately, burst into tears with sobbing and wailing. But do it all in secret.

There is Only One Truth – God is the Judge of it

When we talk about the truth of all things then the truth is overwhelmingly “too much”. The truth about your health is one thing, the truth about your financial predicament is another so on and so forth. It is quite confusing, I know. Truth is the truth for something at a given time in a definite space on a specific mark. All things have their own truths and facts that may change in time as all things in this world changes. As far I’m concern, there are too many truths around us but not as many as the lies, forgeries or the counterfeits all over. There are too many lies and fewer truths but furthermore there is only one truth about certain subject matters. There is only one truth about God, never two nor three.

Are you looking for your lost wallet which has two credit cards, a hundred dollar bill and lots of sentimental value in it? There is no way you can have the lost wallet without exactly finding it. Your wife might buy the same wallet at the store, replace the hundred dollar bill, the two credit cards and vividly recreate the wear and tear in it. It might even fool you but still, that is just a replica of the misplaced wallet.

There is only one factual story about one thing.

Whatever the subject matter is and whatever the facts are, there is only one truth that is accurate and precise that will describe the whole story. There are no other story. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the truth, of the truth and all the truth. There is no truth beside Him, mostly are wolves in a sheep’s skin ready devour anyone on its path.

What if there is no God and that is all the absolute truth there is? Then there is no promise of life after death, no passage from death to life and no reward that awaits us. If that is all the truth then humanity is miserable at its worst inexplicable way. The phrase eternal life is now not even worth mentioning to the slightest sense. We are doomed  towards a certain end and conclusion. If that is the truth we cannot make it not true. If it is all the truth then, we can not stop it, change it and create a different path of truth. That is what it is.

Fortunately, that is not true whether you accept it or not. Our God is alive forevermore as our Lord Jesus Christ. God is as invisible as hope, faith and love but without them our world and the universe will not thrive and it will never exist in the first place. He is definitely unseeable but He is evident as the wind that surrounds us.

2 Thessalonians 2:13 – But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

There is only one truth about God.

We can not say everyone is correct and all is precise about their beliefs and customs. Look everywhere and all over the world, chapels and shrines are in their all time highs. Utterly correct, we can not say everybody is correctly defining and referring to the same God. His name cannot be many when it is only one. It cannot be one when He has many names. What I’m saying is, there is only one truth about our God. Not many truths about a certain subject but one. Everyone has an explanation of what is His deity is but there is only one explanation of who He really is. Not all, not many but one answer of who He really is. Atleast one group for sure has it all right.

Every congregation of every religion and denomination which may have their own explanations of who God is has only one application to be approved by the Most High. Each and everyone is only given a single shot for the truth. It is a righteous and in a fair playing field. Upon it, there is no respect of persons. There is no beyond and above the system. It does not matter if your organization has a mountain of wealth, the memberships are among the celebrities or with complex subsidiaries of worldwide companies. All these things do not and will not matter to God.

1 Timothy 2:4 – Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

God will not say that all faiths are true.

It may be the truth relative to your own perceptions and individuality or upon your existing structures. But to God that may not clearly be the absolute truth to His perception and knowledge of what really happened. To Him there is only one truth – the most exact story of all and the rest are just false, untrue or insufficient understandings. There is only one truth by God’s judgment despite thousands or even millions of doctrines, beliefs and traditions. It is all up to Him to decide on who is to favor and who is to deny.

Be confident if you divided His words righteously, correctly and with no deceit.

Even His Plan Needs Time

Even God’s plan needs time. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. How did He become the author? And how can He finish our faith? Can faith really end and when does one’s faith ends? There are many question but not enough time to answer them all. Since we have to answer them all in detail and in strands. And yet ultimately, all things can be achieved through time but man don’t have enough time in his hands.

Faith can end upon His plan

Faith ends when that something that you believe had finally materialize. It bloomed and transpired into a colorful flower you dreamed of. Your faith can either give in or be achieved but as soon as time is depleted you will know exactly that your faith is at the finale. Your faith in that single event is forfeited and consummated. However, as Christians and faithful believers our cycle of faith never ends up until the promised salvation as such we have to continue on believing. Even faith needs time to happen.

1 Peter 1:9 – Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

plan needs time

Time is part of His plan. God’s plan needs time

God’s plan is no different. Even God needs time for His plans to take place. Time is essential to become the author and the finisher. To plan, create and build are the easiest for Him. Nonetheless it is the test of time that you can never rush. You can not spawn 50 years from just 5 days or 5 years. The likelihood of having the precise outcomes and sequences of events procuring the desired results after is the real trouble and dilemma. Though the thrill of His plans are the actual occurrence of events thus, it has to be dispense accordingly. The Finisher as His given title is one of the trickiest part of being God. Although He did succeed above all not because He is God but He is – who He is. Patiently thru time He waited and endured. God achieved things perfectly because He let His plan ran its course. And God has all the time in the universe to let His plans work perfectly. He is indeed a gracious, compassionate and an enduring God.

James 1:4 – But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

plan needs time

Our time is part of the equation of God’s plan

We believe in so many things in life. We got so many excuses, we may not have enough aptitude, resources or the power to do things. But most importantly, the truth is we have no time to prove or disprove all of the things we believe in. Time is a commodity that gets depleted and many men chooses to think they have all the time in the world. No, our time is but limited. When you don’t fully believe, trust and obey God never expect that time is in your hands. Chance and time will soon cease and stop. You have to swiftly and urgently race towards Him because He owns all the time.

However, if God has a work and purpose for you, all you have to do is trust Him  and wait patiently. God’s plan will work out perfectly just give it some time. Never be bothered by time since it is at your side, a formidable ally.

His anointed church and members of the church should learn to patiently wait for God’s grand plan to transpire. His plan will happen in time. As He had chosen us, we have all the defined time that determines our victorious end. No need to hurry and worry too much.

A blessed and a happy Foundation to all.

Importance of Church – Authority and Influence

The influence and importance of church is relevant and distinguishable. There is a unique but a powerful designation of God to His church. The church was appointed for salvation. As we all know, our Lord Jesus Christ is the groom and the bride is the church. It was the promise and obligation of the groom to save His bride no matter what. To the groom, the bride is the most important entity. There is no way the groom will abandon His bride. The bride will always receive her destiny of salvation and grace. Without the bride the marriage will never take place and the groom will be wrapped up as unfaithful and untrue.

What is the power of the church? The importance of church to  the groom

Being the bride she has a destiny and a foreordained authority of being one with the groom. The groom is the Son of God, His knowledge, glory and sovereignity is being the heir of the Almighty. The son differs from the father but as soon as the father appoints it the son becomes the Lord. Our belief implies that the Father and the Son are the same person, referring to only one entity or existence. There is a dispensation of time of its role as the father and the son but only one God who is the Father of all who for a moment became the 100% man as the Son of God. It was determined by God that the church will become one with the son. A union thru marriage of whom God established and originated it. It was His ultimate designation. Thus, giving the church an exponential power and authority because of the determined union of our Lord Jesus Christ to the church.

The importance of church for our salvation

We may discredit the church. We may forget her power and smear her reputation but in reality the church is destined for greatness and with an almost infinite glory. It has authority for anointing and granting salvation to its subjects and to anyone who enters it. It is a common understanding that whatever the bride decides or desires the groom will try His best upon His influence to make things happen. The bride is supposed to follow the groom on His plans and arrangements however the bride was also given access to tap on her own decisions that may not implicate on the general destiny of the church. The church may decide on her own that may burden or lighten the groom but will not totally impede the inevitability of the church’s fate.

The “metaphoric compound church” (scattered in various times and locations) intended for the marriage was established by the lamb himself. It was promised by the lamb that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Although, I will not expound more on the importance, capabilities and influence of the church but I’m sure you will manage. Because they are definitely noteworthy and monumental.

Ephesians 5:32 KJV – This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
