False Teachers and Prophets

Image
Doctrine of Devils An introduction to False Teachers and Prophets 1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,  2   by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,  3  men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.  4  For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude;  5  for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer (1 Timothy 4:1-5) The above passage is talking about leaders within the church that have fallen because of their lust and now are teachers in their ways of perdition [1] .  False teachers which mingle...

The Anagram of Christmas

Image
The Anagram of Christmas But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, [yet] you put up with it easily enough. (2 Corinthians 11:3-4) Christmas should be a time for us to worship the birth of Christ Jesus, but slowly the enemy is replacing Christ with Satan (Santa) and it is being done so subtly that even the most devout Christians don’t see it happening. But this is the practice of Satan to make small changes until the time that he can overtly attack the truth. Consider this even though this is a time to celebrate the birth of Christ is the name Jesus or the name Santa that rest on the lips of most parents everywhere, even most Christian parents during this time of ye...

Offenses Will Come

Offenses Will Come Matthews 18:6-7(KJV) But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.   Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! So that we have a better understanding of the what is being said to us let read Matthews 18-6-7  This often heard verse is almost never identified in scripture because of it often mis-uses. miscues, and possibly controlling spirit of those that hide behind it. My personal Commentary ( FireSpeaks ) A mature Christian should never do those thing which would lead a new convert to sin or incorrectly perceive God. This is about how to rightly disciple the new Christian. Jesus Christ wants us to not just tell people about Christ but disciple them to maturity in their faith, not say those things which can cause a...

A Fire that is not Quenched

Image
Where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched . ( Mark 9:48 ) Where is that place where the worms do not die? Jesus in Mark 9:48 tells us that Hell is the place where the worms do not die, and the fire of hell is never quenched. How powerful is this passage? Not this passage so to speak but passages like it ( some listed below) were a deciding fact in my walk with Christ. I came to Christ not for a better life. The often misused method of witnessing that says “Jesus will fix your health, finance marriage or whatever wrong in your life” would have never worked on me, because I was content where I was, I was in sin where I was, and I was making a lot of money where I was. As a matter of fact my income right now about 65% less than it was since I’ve come to God through Jesus Christ as compared to when I was in the world. What I’m saying is I did not come to Christ for what He could give me, I came to God and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior because...

How Can They Ever Obey God?

Image
AsI come closer to the day they we will adopt a child, God has given me more andmore revelation of his intent. Just the other day the spirt of God spoke to meand said. "If your children can not obey you howwill they ever obey God?" Iwondered was God giving me a word for someone else? or for myself. I thoughtI no longer have any children what can this mean. and then I realized that Iwould soon have little feet running through my home, and God has not given forme to be a foolsih steward of His children. So even before they came he wasinstructiing me on how to raise them. ButI fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, soyour minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 But by the subtilties of this world we have lost God requirementfor raising our children. The world teaches that we should let tem be their ownpersons, that we should let them make decision on issues that we find much tooimportant for c...
