Diversion from what we are supposed to be in is one of Satan’s tactics to destroy disciples. Many do not like the idea that Scripture is just that, and not The Word of God. However, people misunderstand what I mean. I do not advocate dispensing with Scripture, only that it is held in the right place. Life in Christ first and then the confirmation of Scripture.

The sheer arrogance of man is evident in what they do, and it is utterly shocking to see what they will take charge of and mess with if left to do so.

Who on earth gave mere human beings to question God and His things, or His people?

Jas.4 has a lot to say about this. If someone gets into agreement with Satan they should not be surprised if they burn with Satan later on.

Humility is a much ignored and abused term today, as the whole world and the world church thinks that bold and mouthy is the way ahead, but is the Lord like that? If He is not like that then in behooves us to be conformed to His image and to be as we should be. The Lord hates human pride.

One of the greatest errors of my life has been the expectation of finding righteousness in others, because of whom I possessed in myself, namely Jesus Christ. The scripture tells us that the seeds sown into the world from God are wheat, but the world’s people are sown into the world as weeds. So, we as believers often expect to find the same consciousness of God in others which we possess, yet he is not there! Whereas the “unrighteous” are constantly attempting to project their own self-righteousness, and will ultimately reject Christ within us.
Like oil and water, the nature of Satan’s people (fallen humanity) and the nature of those elect by God’s grace, are completely two different animals indeed! This nature change is a work by God alone by his Holy Spirit, and the rest of the world is of a different spirit at heart. The problem is that those who are of the Spirit of God, may not understand how different they are from people who are of the “Spirit of the world”. They do not understand that Christ in them, (for the most part) is not present in people of the world, and you cannot teach them into him!
The humble child of God is not aware that most people around them do not know him, and have never been graced by his presence. This is potentially a spiritually deadly game, in wishing to accept those as brothers and sisters who are not the Lord’s people, by those who were sown into the world as wheat! Even more dangerous is teaching them Bible, and sharing the things of God which they do not possess!
Godly morality is a good thing generally speaking within the world, and has been the glue to western civilizations, yet it should never be mistaken for the actual indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This is the most common error made since institutionalized Christianity (the Church of Rome) started! Those of us who actually have the indwelling Holy Spirit of God, are as sheep to the unsuspecting slaughter, until we are able to grow enough to discern the difference.
All my life I have searched for my niche within the world, then was lured into the promise of “a good Church” to accept me, teach me, and encourage me. Sadly this never happened, and gratefully this spirit of an alternative to walking with Christ never took root!
That’s right, by grace to him that indwells me, I was never destroyed by the “spirit of antichrist” all around me. You see, that spirit of antichrist really does recognize the spirit of Christ within another, and wishes to crush and destroy Christ in us by extension! They hate us (Christ in us, the hope of glory) as they do not have him actually, and are not with him! This is not normally a calculated fore brained attack, as it comes from the deeper recesses of the heart in the spirit world.
This is why it is imperative to understand the warnings in 1 John 4. Verse 3 tells us – And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
To expand a little on verse 3 at a personal level, would be to say – And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in “their flesh” is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist. One is plural and one is personal…
Jehovah Witnesses for example, would be plural, in that they believe as the Gnostics did who were hostile to the physical world, and equate physical stature as impure (bad). So Jesus Christ could never have come in actual human flesh (as the scripture teaches)… So that “belief system” could not be of the Lord, academically speaking.
Yet a belief system has nothing really to do with the indwelling Holy Spirit, as it is about academics, whereas the Holy Spirit of God is alive, and functioning!
So, if you examine the verse on a personal level, the spectrum really widens much more immensely! That is, to recognize that Jesus Christ has not come in “their flesh”, when taken as an actual commandment of discernment, and is to really begin to come to an actual understanding of who is the Lord’s, and who is not, within the actual believer’s daily existence!
I could go on and on belaboring the point, but the next time you get a check in your heart someone is not hearing you on an intuitive (spiritual) issue, leave them alone, walk away, because as much as you wish they could hear or see your point – they may be deaf and blind, and you have not the power to change that.
I truly believe, that if you stay with the world, or the world’s church system, (Love not the world, or the love of the Father is not in him)- you may dry up and die in Christ, as you have chosen a surrogate rather than to “remain in the life giving vine of Christ himself”, which there is no substitute for…
So be forewarned brethren!

I once studied under an exorcist for six year while in street ministry.
Even most Christians who claim to walk with the Lord have no clue concerning the spiritual world! This shows me a couple things, either they are very young in the Lord, or they have never really known him!
As you cannot walk in spirit and in truth, if you don’t know him in spirit – and if you don’t know him in Spirit, the scripture teaches that you are none of his!
I used to watch so called paranormal ghost shows on T.V. 9 out of 10 times these people were ineffective in dealing with these “hauntings”, the reason is that they have no spiritual understanding of what they were dealing with.
So called “Ghosts” the departed souls of others, are actually an illusion (deception) of Satan. These disembodied spirits are actually demons taking on the form and mannerisms of people who have ounce lived, or even beasts which have never really existed naturally.
In the demonic spirit world, ones heart rate, smells and idiosyncrasies are recorded and known by Satan, the once angel of light known as Lucifer. He is a master at deception and will show up being received as God, prior to the destruction of Babylon, and the 1000 year reign with Christ, prior to the final judgment.
In ancient times demons appeared as serpents protruding as hair from the head of Medusa. I specifically mentioned this, as I had a friend in the Navy who witnessed this display in front of him in the desert. Demons once appeared in chariots playing Gods, and always will adapt their deception, depending on beliefs. Even today they do take on the forms which are conducive to present day beliefs, including alien beings!
Last evening I felt I should watch a show recorded at the Bigfoot Museum, it was a short documentary but the Curator spoke with many a person who had seen this “bigfoot” materialize, and dematerialize, just like heatwaves along the highway! He also said that a man saw one levitate from place to place upon a field, which is hardcore evidence of demonic activity; I thought to myself.
Also bones of giant men were said to have been found on the exuviation site of the Hoover dam, but that the Smithsonian institute has never released any skeletal remains. This is not surprising to me at all, in that any potential Biblical truth to the Nephilim must remained unseen by the public, or risk being seen as support for the Bible and or intelligent design (Creationism), it appears to me.
Could it be that these demon/men born to women could have also created the great pyramids of Egypt? Could levitation have provided the power of moving these great stones? I believe so!
Yet stories of space travelers and alien vessels, overshadow today any thought of the demonic beings from the past, because after all, we are much more educated today than to believe in such mystical nonsense!
Like I said, Demons adapt to their deceptions of humanity, and anyone who would believe such nonsense is quickly marginalized as daft, or an uneducated throwback of the past. Oddly enough – since the days of Noah, witchcraft at the highest levels is still practiced by those seeking power, yet to admit this fact, is to admit that humanity is still savants of Satan, who are unwilling or unable to come to a knowledge of the Truth: who is Christ himself!

This is an opinion piece on the struggles I have experienced concerning others with my walk in the Lord.
I was accredited as a minister in “Christian Counseling” by the grace of God due to the study I performed in six years of “street ministry”. I am certainly not the most qualified person who ever endeavored an academic position in the world, but my experience like many others who are seniors now, most certainly has a certain degree of credibility.
About 25% of the population are sociopaths, and within that percentage fewer are full blown psychopaths statically speaking. Still others exhibit some form of a Narcissistic personality disorder, or (NPD).
What I have discovered throughout my life, is that being empathetic towards others can often result in being targeted to sociopaths, as they are an easy mark for the sociopath to bolster themselves up on the back of the unsuspecting “nice guy”. As an actual believer in Christ – in action and in deed, one may become crushed and devoured by these wolves, especially the ones who claim Christ’s name as their own! These false brethren as described in 1 John 2: 18-19 as ANTICHRISTS are actually ones who started with the Lord (like us) but did not finish!
In other words, they went back to the ways of the world and became twice the sons of hell than before they started with Christ (Matthew 23:15). The religious leaders of today are the same animal, albeit we are functioning under a new covenant.
This “Spirit” of antichrist manifests itself within the Church, a type of surrogate to actually moving and abiding in Jesus Christ oneself! This is what a sneaky bastardy enemy the actual disciple is up against, but we must learn how to stand in truth! This antichrist spirit will try to crush and destroy the actual disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ within them. And that is why the scripture speaks about principalities and powers, not in a vague sense like most think, but actually within the unregenerate or natural man.
If “Satan’s” people manage to crush the faith (Christ in us) then Satan has succeeded once again in destroying a child of God, and now days these antichrists take great joy in using the scriptures to do so – a type of witchcraft, as they are not used in the spirit of truth!
Beware, lest you share the things of God with these pigs and get devoured and trampled underfoot!
For the Brethren
_________________________________________________
Matthew 7: 1- 20 is about discernment, and notice its starts with dealing with a brother first, and then moves on to walking on the narrow way with Christ yourself.
Even more hurtful than the sociopath (to me) is an actual brother in the Lord who uses being on the “narrow way” with Christ, to tear down or minimize other brethren while justifying themselves in doing so. I believe many “born again believers” seeking to be seen as leaders or devout men of God, many times may ostracize those they see as opposition.
This could also be an indicator of having a Narcissistic personality disorder: (NPD) is a personality disorder in which there is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated
feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others’ feelings.
The victim of a Narcissistic personality is often troubled by just what offence they committed to deserve such treatment. No known therapy exists in treating a Narcissistic personality, as the Narcissist thinks there is nothing wrong with them and will not seek help.
So, being on the “Narrow Way” with Christ, allows the Narcissistic personality to justifiably create a wall between people or viewpoints, or people they deem as inconsistent with their personality, or simply people they do not like.
This is very sad when concerning the brethren, (who are to be part of the same body). Yet ego’s aside this has always reared its ugly head since Peter and Paul had a go at each other. It is a good thing that the Holy Spirit of God does a work within His own, otherwise there could be no resolutions within the body of Christ.
