DECEIVE PROOF YOUR MIND

7/4/10

We are living in the time that the apostle Paul told Timothy would come in the future.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

Deceiving spirits are rampant in the world today. They are masters at counterfeiting spirituality. They want Christians to trust in their doctrines and not trust in the doctrines of Christ for their spirituality.

Christians must learn that Satan is very crafty and that just because the so called spiritual program that they are using is working does not mean that it pleases God or that the programs power source is from God.

2Co 11:1 Oh, that you would bear with me in a little folly—and indeed you do bear with me.

2Co 11:2 For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

2Co 11:3  But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

2Co 11:13  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

2Co 11:14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Exo 7:9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.’

“Exo 7:10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

Exo 7:11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

Exo 7:12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

Col 2:8  Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Today too many Christians are seeking for answers to their problems outside of the Word of God alone because they have not been taught the doctrinal foundation for true spirituality and the true source for the answer to all their problems.

Purpose: To learn from Scripture alone that counterfeit spirituality focuses on man and his problems and a Christ-less way to overcome his problems. And that true spirituality focuses on the Person of Christ, His cross/work and the Spirit of Christ through the Word of God alone as the means to solve all of a Christians problems.

God alone is my Expectation

6/27/10

What ever you are going through in your life at this moment God’s goal is to clothe you in humility which is the character of Christ i.e. the Christ-life and not the self-life. Human humility is an oxymoron it is a contradiction in terms. It is impossible for any human to be humble apart from the supernatural work of God the Holy Spirit by means of sanctifying a Christian in the image of Christ. God’s personal path for each of His blood bought children in humility is to strip us of all our pride by showing us the sin our self-sufficiency and to cause us to trust in Him for our every need. He does this by taking from us our idols and all those things that direct our minds away from Him as the Source of our life, our peace, our sufficiency, our contentment and our joy so that we reflect the Christ-life to a sin cursed world to the glory of God.

Purpose: To learn from Scripture why the Father wants you to be humble and that His process of humbling you in not to harm you but to conform you to the image of His Son the Lord Jesus Christ for His glory and your good. Furthermore, this personal path of humility is the only way for you to not trust in yourself and to totally trust in the wisdom, grace and love of your Lord to do to you what seems best to Him so that you grow in the    grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We all need ENCOURAGEMENT…!

You Need God’s Encouragement

6/6/10

Are you asking yourself why am I going through this suffering. Are you experiencing a terrible loss? Do you feel like the world is caving in on you?

Are you about to give up all hope? Have you lost all joy in life? Do you feel like you are trapped in a nightmare and there is no way out?

If you are experiencing any of the above then you need God’s encouragement.

The only place to turn when God brings us into His furnace of affliction is to run to His Word for encouragement.

Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Purpose: To learn from Scripture the purpose of suffering and how to be encouraged in the midst of any and all suffering.

God’s purpose in suffering is to humble us and test us and to wean us from our confidence in ourselves and to cause us to depend on Him to be conformed to Christ image and to cause us to long for our heavenly home with Christ.

Psa 119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.

We are living in a great day of apostasy.

The apostle Paul said, 2Th 2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,

This apostasy is so evident today because tens of thousands of people are abandoning the historical, Biblical doctrine of the trinity for idolatrous doctrines of demons. One of the main reasons people are rushing into idolatry is because ministers are not grounding their church members in the basic doctrines of Christianity. In other words, Christians have no discernment when they hear false doctrine. They have no idea if what they just heard in a sermon is historical, Biblical Christianity or historical heresy. I have heard that in the Treasury Department they are taught what authentic currency looks like so that they are able to recognize the counterfeit. We must spend time in the Word of God and learn what our God says about His true identity so that we have discernment and are able to avoid any counterfeit doctrines concerning our God.

Purpose: To learn from Scripture how God reveals Himself as our Trinitarian God so that we will worship our God correctly and be armed with the Scriptures to defend our faith against Satan’s blasphemous attacks.
