So at one point or another we have all be under attack by
the enemy. I mean that is if you are a child of God. See the enemy hates God,
and he hates anyone and anything that God Loves. If you’re a child of God, he
loves you. He proved his love to you by sending his son to die for you. The
devil knows this. If you don’t know much about the devil you should research
him lol. He was Lucifer, the angel God went to for music, but he got greedy and
wanted to be more powerful than God, so him and 1/3 of the angels got kicked
out of heaven. He can’t return to heaven. God does not love him, God does not
need him. He is God’s enemy!! So since we are God’s children we have a target
on us!! The devil does not want God’s children to succeed, he doesn’t want
anything good to happen to us, and he wants to take us out! (John 10:10 the thief comes only to steal and
kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.)
We have to understand that the devil is NOT omnipresent. (He can’t be at 2
places at once) If the devil is busy up in South Dakota, he’s not down in Texas
making a mess either. BUT those angles that got kicked out of heaven, those are
what we call demons. This is a spiritual warfare so just like there angels
around, there are demons around also.( Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle
against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities,
against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly places.) We have to remind ourselves, just
like we are led by the Holy Spirit; there are people that are led by demonic
spirits. That
verse says to me if you’re not walking with The Holy Spirit, if you’re not
following The Holy Spirit, you’re walking in a spirit that’s feeding your
flesh. Your walking in a self-pleasuring spirit, you’re walking in a carnal
worldly spirit. To put it simply you’re against God when you’re walking in a
spirit that’s not of him.( Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the
Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh). (Galatians 5:19-21 Now
the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries,
dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I
warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not
inherit the kingdom of God.) -We’ve gotten too accustomed to watering down
things, let’s be real because God is real the devil is real and so is heaven
and hell-. Well how do you know when you’re walking with The Holy Spirit? Will
I bust out dancing like the women in church? Will I start running around the
church building is that how I know I have the Holy Ghost, will that let me know
I’m walking with Christ?? NO! I haven’t
found in the bible where it says people bust out in dance when they are walking
in the Spirit. Those people that are dancing and running are PRAISING God! That
doesn’t mean they have The Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit doesn’t hit you and
your body shake. You receive The Holy Spirit when you accept Christ into your
life. The Holy Ghost dwells within you. Now, just because you have received
Christ as your personal Lord and Savior does NOT mean you’re WALKING in the
Spirit, does NOT mean you’re abiding with Christ. That doesn’t mean that. (1 John 3:24 whoever keeps his commandments
abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the
Spirit whom he has given us.) There are plenty of people that believe in
God, believe in Jesus, accepted him but aren’t living for him. Therefore it’s
kind of impossible to walk in the Spirit of a God you’re not living for, you
see what I’m saying? Now that that is understood I think we have to be careful
of the things people tell us, especially those that call themselves Christians.
Back in the days people had to PROVE that they were Christians, they had to
PROVE that they had The Holy Spirit. We don’t do that because we have faith
that when we accept him he comes to us. I think it’s important we test the
spirit of self-proclaimed Christians. Anyone can say the words “I’m a Christian”,
but what does your lifestyle say? (Galatians
5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is
no law.) Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of nice people out there that
just do nice things, that doesn’t make them saved. We all know that God doesn’t
change. God doesn’t say one thing and do another, he can’t and he won’t! He’s
the same God to me that he is to you and to your pastor. The Holy Spirit isn’t
going to tell me one thing and tell you another thing. His word is true and it
will NEVER contradict itself. And that’s where we have to be careful. The devil
will use whoever is available to be used. Children of God are off limits to
children of God as in he can only do so much; he has to go to God and ask him
if he can tempt us. Now those children of God that aren’t walking in the
Spirit, you know the believe in God, but they believe in pleasing their flesh
more those people can be used by the devil. He’s already using them getting
them to sin.(they are bewitched) It’s nothing for them to try to speak to you(not
fully knowing/believing that they are being used by the devil) and say “that
doesn’t sit well with my spirit” “God doesn’t want you to do that”. I can’t
stress enough that The Holy Spirit will not contradict himself. God is NOT the
author of confusion that is the devil! The Holy Spirit isn’t going to tell you
to do this and that for ministry and then tell someone else something
different, causing confusion or doubt. That is the devil trying to trick you!
The devil doesn’t care; he will use the people closest to you to try to stop
you from doing God’s work. He will do everything in his power to TRY to stop
God’s work. That is why we MUST test the spirits of those around us. A person
being led by The Holy Spirit, you will know by the things they say, they’re
actions. They won’t contradict God and his word!! It’s SO important that we
understand this. Don’t be afraid or shocked when people close to you are being
led by the wrong spirit, the devil doesn’t care, just be in constant prayer for
those people. Anyone who tries to stop God’s work will be subject to his wrath.
So pray for them!!
If you love someone tell them
I love you
Goodnight
