FROM THE PHYISICAL TO THE SPIRITUAL
Brother James, OIC
Jas 4:4-6 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Satan was the first adulterer. His heart turned from God the Creator to self esteem. He lifted himself up in his mind to be greater than God, he was proud and not truly knowing the deeper things of God. In his pride he thought; “I can do what God does even better“. And for that he was cast out of Heaven to this Earth where he has been given temporary rule over this world, and is along with his demonic forces, the target of our spiritual warfare.
Isa 14:13 -14 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.
Satan, the god of this world, name is Lucifer meaning Light Bearer. On Earth he attempts to shine as a beacon of light to steer people into trusting his false solutions. His primary goal is to kill, steal and destroy Gods plan for you in Christ to immobilize Gods True Life Giving Vision for your life. He also knows if he traps you into inadvertently trusting him for your physical needs he has sealed your eternal spiritual destination. And he has set his false ministers into positions of authority into many of today’s ministries, their purpose knowingly or unknowingly is to do his terminal will.
Self emulation and self esteem are the snares Satan uses to take captive those who are not yet made free in the Rightly Divided Truth of Gods Word. True ministers of Christ are known by their peace and their meekness, they always Love as Christ loved as their visions from God calls them into the conversion of a son or daughter of God. But few truly understand the meaning of believing on the name of Jesus.
2Ti 2:24-26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Joh 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
If a man exalts himself as head of a ministry be concerned and be careful around such prideful devils as they will suck the life of Christ right out of you if you allow them. Jesus should be the Head of any Christian or Christian Ministry. I know one self appointed false head who if he enlarged his name tag and title any more he would have to wear a back brace to support its weight, silly man turning a vision from God into a cultic dead work. I have one Word for those prideful wolves in sheep’s clothing; REPENT
