Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
As a servant of God the first thing one realizes is this battle doesn't involve flesh and blood beings. We are fighting against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. The most important weapon we have is our faith and belief in God's word. Always carry your sword, which is the Word of God with you at all times to cut down every lie and false doctrine. God is in control of both good and evil angels. They can't do anything against God's servants without his permission.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Revelation 13:1-4, 11 KJV
Who is this beast with seven heads and ten horns with the name of blasphemy upon their heads. They not only sat in this beast seat, the dragon gave him his power and great authority. This is none-other than Satan himself, who has deceived the whole world. Those seven nations represent the Gentile dynasties as follows:
Lion-Babylon = 1 head
Bear- Medo-Persia= 1 head
Leopard- Greece = 4 heads
Terrible beast- Rome= 1 head
10 horns are 10 men who tried to resurrect the Roman Empire & the Western European Union.
The deadly wound that was healed is the Roman head, with another beast with two horns representing the religious head (false prophet) and temporal head (beast/EU), but that's another story..
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Revelation 12:1-5 KJV
The woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, represents the nation of Israel (Genesis 37:9-11 ). Jesus, the Lion of The Tribe of Judah will sit on the throne of David and is sitting on the right hand of the father until his enemies are put under his feet. The last enemy to be put under his feet is death. Those who keep the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus are the enemies of satan. You see, Satan wanted to kill the creation, however, Jeus had to come down to this earth in the flesh to redeem man back because of Adam's sin. Satan, the anointed cherub angel, influenced a third of the angels to rebel and was cast to earth with him. Satan knows he has a short time to do much damage to God’s creation before the return of Christ. So where is Satan ruling at this time ? You guessed right, earth. He rules through his subjects and is the one in control of the EU and the Catholic church.
Let’s take a closer look and investigate!
Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
Ezekiel 1:1, 4-7, 10-11 KJV
This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims. Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Ezekiel 10:20-21 KJV
Most of us have been taught that angels are a little man with a halo above his head. Well, think again, God is giving us a true depiction of what an angel looks like. Angels actually have six wings, two wings that stretch upward, two wings joined together, and two wings cover their bodies with eyes all over to report mankind's doings to the Father and Jesus. Hmm, food for thought, this is also the description of what Satan looks like as well… but I digress
The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord God ; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God ; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Ezekiel 28:1-3, 11-17 KJV
This is clearly not talking about a flesh and blood human being. The prince of the King of Tyrus is actually Satan. Satan walked up and down the mountain of God ( 3rd heaven), he was the covering cherub angel, he was outfitted with the most precious and beautiful stones and could sing. When Eve talked face to face with Satan, she saw him in his full glory. He was the one known as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden. He was perfect until iniquity was found in him. Yes! brothers and sisters, he sinned and was thrown out of heaven. Satan knows God's plan for mankind and his goal is to destroy God's creation through lies, murder, and falsehood. God knew we couldn’t withstand Satan in his full power; therefore , God placed him under chains of darkness, no longer to be seen with the naked eye.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelation 12:7-9, 12 KJV
Satan didn't leave heaven without putting up a fight with Michael and his angels. As I stated earlier, Satan influenced a third part of the angels to rebel and fight with him, however, to no avail. That old serpent, dragon, and devil which are names for Satan was cast out into the earth and Woe! unto us on earth because Satan having great wrath is coming to do harm and destruction because he knows his time is short!
Who gave the order to kick Satan out of heaven
After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Luke 10:1, 17-18, 20 KJV
Brothers and sisters, it was Jesus himself who had Satan cast out of heaven. Jesus was in his old form (God) said I beheld Satan as lightning falling from heaven; therefore, woe to the inhabitants of the earth. A powerful statement is made in verse twenty, so let's get straight to the point. Our names are written (in the book of life) in heaven but this doesn't mean we are going there. Satan's desire is to go back to heaven. God's desire is it to set up his kingdom on earth and he will at the appointed time. Satan came from above (heaven), mankind came from earth. God formed man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils and man became a living soul (body) ,Genesis 2:7.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isaiah 14:1-4, 12-15 KJV
Confirmation! How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning. Lucifer means light bearer/one who brings the truth. Satan's job was to bring the truth until iniquity (sin) was found in him. After his fall, the angel Gabriel became the truth bringer. Satan has deceived the whole earth and has his ministers teach people they will go to heaven when they die. Our homecoming is the grave, for dust thou art and to dust shalt thou return. Satan is the only one who wants to return to heaven and that's what his ministers are teaching you every Sunday.
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2 Peter 2:4-5 KJV
Satan and his angels are under chains of darkness; therefore, they can no longer just pop up and talk with you face to face as Satan did eve. The day of judgment is the 8th day, when the father sets up his kingdom. Satan will be thrown into the Lake of fire; however, that's another story… Did anyone notice God spared not the old world, however, God found one righteous man, who was preaching the word of God during a time when it was not popular to do so! sounds familiar to me, so let’s keep it moving…
Stick to the Script
READ!
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1 Peter 3:18-20 KJV
Let's see who Jesus preached to in prison. They were none other than fallen angels under chains of darkness, who were impatient for the new world to begin during the time of Noah. Jesus didn't go down into hell (Lake of Fire) because it doesn't exist yet. Jesus controls all the angels, whether they be good or evil to carry out his will.
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 1:5-7, 13-14 KJV
God the Father is letting us know the role of an angel, which puts to rest that the Holy Ghost is God. Jesus is the only one who has been born again from the dead to live forever. Jesus is the first begotten, born again from man to God. Angels on the other hand are ministering spirits whose job is to serve the heirs of salvation, which are the servants of God. The Father and Jesus give the orders to the serving spirits (angels). They use whatever angel fits the bill, whether good or evil to carry out the orders. God runs it all!
Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian. And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives. And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech. And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi–ezrites.
Judges 8:22, 30-32 KJV
And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother. And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baal–berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.
And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself. And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.
When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel, Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech: That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt. And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith. And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women. Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it. But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower. And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull. Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died. And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren: And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
Judges 9:1-6, 22-24, 34, 45-47,
49-57 KJV
Abimelech, is an example of what happens to the servant of God when his works are evil. He was given over to covetousness and conspired with his family to reign over the house of Israel instead of sharing the responsibility with his 70 brothers. He even hired wicked men like himself and killed his brothers who dwelt at his father's house. He did evil in the sight of the Lord, who sent evil angels to cause division between him and the men of Shechem. As we read earlier, God is in control of it all and sent an evil angel who killed Abimelech for his wicked deeds, along with the wicked men of Shechem.
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
Psalms 78:40-43, 47-49 KJV
How long can we as servants of God continue to provoke the God of Israel without consequences. God is longsuffering toward us all and full of mercy; yet, the children of Israel continued to sin. How did God punish them ? He sent evil angels to reward them for their evil deeds. To limit God means to sin willfully and it is written God does not hear the prayers of a sinner. For if you sin willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remains no sacrifice of sin. The reward for willful sin is nothing but judgment and fiery indignation from the Lord. God made us free agents and not robots; therefore, choose life and good or death and evil.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord , and Satan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord , and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Then Satan answered the Lord , and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:6-10 KJV
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Psalms 34:6-7 KJV
Satan cannot do anything to the servants of God without his permission whether it be good or evil. The servant of God’s hedge of protection is keeping the commandments, the dietary law, and God's holy days. How will we respond on the day of adversity. Will we trust God to bring us through or lean on our own understanding. God said if you love me keep my commandments. Job didn't serve God for material things of this world and neither should we. The Lord said he would be a little sanctuary to us in the land where we dwell; therefore, put your trust in him. The minute we step out of line with God, he will send an unholy angel to “ bust” you upside your head as a reminder to keep God's law.
And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
1 Samuel 16:1, 10-15 KJV
Have you ever heard a servant of God say, once saved always saved. Not so my friend! God has rejected Saul from being King and has chosen David as the next king. Saul showed himself to be unworthy by continually sinning against God. The choices we make can determine whether we enter into the right side of the kingdom. God looks on the inward part of man. We can appear to be servants of God and still be full of strife or envy. God basically told Saul, I never knew you, depart from me, you worker of iniquity. Saul being evil caused the Lord to send an unholy angel to trouble him. Food for thought: you can't walk in truth and entertain lies. We are children of the light and have nothing to do with darkness.
What Shall We Do Then??
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1 Peter 5:6-8 KJV
Put your trust in God and come under the blood of Jesus. As children of light, one must separate yourself from the works of the flesh. put away from you lies, anger, drunkenness, fornication, adultery, strife, and jealousy. An adversary is one who brings accusations or charges against someone; therefore, Satan is on his job daily.
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, 9-12 KJV
Jesus is coming back and Christ himself warned us that many would come in his name. Did you notice it’s not the dope dealer or the prostitute who’s coming in the name of Jesus...Then who? Shepherds of the Church. For many Pastors have caused the people of God to err. However, there will be a falling away first. What does it mean to fall away? it means to turn away, to renounce one’s faith or turn away from following God. Religious leaders who preach a false doctrine, cause many to fall away or turn away from the commandments and celebrate Christmas, Easter, New Years, eating pork or other foods God has deemed unclean to consume. These are ministers of Satan who cause people to stumble at the true word of God.
Let's See!
And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel. And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel. And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth–gilead?
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord to day.
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we might enquire of him? And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the Lord : but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
And Micaiah said, As the Lord liveth, what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak. So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord ? And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord : I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth–gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord , and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
1 Kings 22:1-9, 13-23, 34-35 KJV
The servants of God should be very careful in whom they join themselves with. The Bible warns us to not be unequally yoked with non believers. Jehoshaphat was a righteous king who joined himself with evil Ahab, which was his first mistake. Ahab was married to Jezebel, a priestess of Baal. Ahab believed a lie and it cost him his life. The same goes for us when we fall away from the true word of God.
What The Book Say!
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John 8:31-33, 39, 44 KJV
If you continue in my word, then are ye my disciples! Jesus said my sheep hear my voice by obeying his instructions by keeping the Sabbath, observing the Lord's dietary law, and his holy days. The word of God will sanctify or set you apart from non-believers. Those who choose to disobey have another father! Satan himself who was and still is killing the creation even today. When you attend church on Sunday, you are worshipping Satan. God did not sanctify or hallow the 1st day of the week. God said he was setting up his kingdom upon earth, Satan says everyone is going to heaven. Lies are Satan's main weapon. Jesus saved us through his death and resurrection if we take part in it by repenting, keeping the commandments and get baptized in his name.
For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 11:2-4, 13-15 KJV
The same serpent who deceived Eve, the one who was kicked out of heaven and deceives the whole world, is come to the earth. God said the 7th day is my day of worship, Satan said the 1st day; God said my throne is on earth, Satan said we are going to heaven; God said not to eat pork, Satan’s minister says pray over it….Do you get the picture. Jesus said many would come in my name saying I am Christ. Another Jesus comes from the Catholic Church and his doctrine is opposite of the Word of God. Satan's ministers come to us preaching Jesus, but their doctrine is contrary to God's Word.
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:1-5 KJV
Christ just confirmed what Paul was telling the people. By the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established. You can't read where Jesus celebrated Christmas, you can't read where Jesus was born December 25th, you can't read where Jesus was eating pork chops; therefore, who are you worshipping???
Well, Uhm, Let's Go and Read
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;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1 Timothy 4:1-5, 13-16 KJV
This is the doctrine of the Catholic Church, whom God is warning us about. They are breaking the first commandment God gave us, which is to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth (Genesis 1:26-27). Being celibate is not a command of God. We cannot eat any and everything. God sanctified (set apart) the animals that are to be eaten from those that are not to be eaten (Leviticus 11). It is sinful to pray over unclean animals and think it is okay with God.
Let's wrap it up my people!
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV
Our weapon is the Word Of God and the more you read and study, it will cast down every evil thought that comes into your mind.
Brother’s and Sister’s,
Let us continue to edify one another
Peace in Jesus mighty name!
