Coexistence

Jesus warned his disciples of deception that was intended for the church.

Mark 13
5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives ***YOU***.

So the deception is not just for those who don’t know God. It is also designed to deceive Christians; especially during what Jesus called the “great tribulation”, which will occur shortly before Christ’s return.

Mark 13
21   “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it.
22   For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23   But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

Before the great tribulation, the world will be dominated by a world church (Revelation 17). It will deceive all of the nations of the world

Revelation 17
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show

you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,
2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

It is because this false church will dominate the world’s understanding of what it means to be a Christian, that God, before hand, told us not to be deceived by it, and also to come out of it. He tells us to come out of it, because many of his elect have been raised within it from childhood.

Revelation 18
4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

Some of the people that God has already called out of this church were priests, and monks, within this church, such as Martin Luther and John Hus. Many of them were killed by this false church. That is why the Bible said that it is drunk with the blood of the saints (Revelation 17:6). During its first reign over the kings of, what Daniel called, the “fourth kingdom”, it was reported to have killed about 50 million people through its crusades and inquisitions (Daniel 8).

Revelation 17 shows us that it will rule over the kings of the fourth kingdom before the great tribulation (Revelation 17:1-3).

The beast is the office of the pope. Throughout the church age, the popes have claimed to be “The Holy Father”, “The Father”/pope means father, “The Vicar of Christ”/antichirst, and Christ veiled in human flesh. The fourth kingdom/Europe believed this heresy, and idolatry, and thought that this madness was Christianity. If only they were able to read the Bible. Then they would have been able to see for themselves that this was the opposite of Chris’s church, and that the popes were Christ’s enemies.

Matthew 24
4   And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no

The VICARS OF CHRIST
“Vicar of Christ”, which means: to reign in the place of Christ.
“Antichrist” means: one who puts himself in the place of Christ.
It also means: the opponent of Christ.

one deceives you.
5   For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Luke 21
8   And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore ***do not go after them***.

These are the popes; the little horn of Daniel 7:19-25, Daniel 8:23-25, and it will come back during the great tribulation (Revelation 13, Revelation 17).

So the concept of a Universal church is not a theory, but Bible prophecy, because the Bible tells us that the fourth kingdom will rule over the earth, and that the capital of the fourth kingdom is the little horn/Roman Catholicism & the popes.

The knowledge of the fourth kingdom’s efforts to take over the world is as common as their slogan, which is “the new world order”. It means “a one world government for the entire world to be ruled by.” Many coming out of Europe have been working toward this goal, such as the Jesuits, Freemasons, Rosicrucians, The Illuminati, Roman Catholicism, Skull & Bones, The Bohemian Club, The CFR, The United Nations, The European Union, International Bankers, The super rich corporations & families of the West (America & Europe), and many others. And all of these are working together as one, for the purpose of bringing about a new world order, and “Coexistence”. They claim to be working toward establishing peace and security for the world, just as the Bible foretold (1Thessalonians 5:1-6).

The Unitd States Seal — 1Thessalonians 5:2-3

There is a very religious element to this conspiracy. It operates according to the principal of ecumenism, for the purpose of creating a universal religion, that consist of all of the world’s religions, under the leadership of the new world order’s government. Within this one world religion is Christianity, and its intent is for Christianity to be led by Roman Catholicism. In America, this includes, both the religious right, and the religious left. It is through doctrine and practice that the conservatives are being aided and led by Roman Catholics in their “God in government” campaign, which is a moral crusade for the soul of America, and Liberals are being led by Roman Catholics through humanitarianism, and mysticism. These are the out-workings of the social gospel, and most American Christians are being led astray by it. The social gospel has shaped America throughout its history the mid to late 1700’s.

The proofs of the effort for the new world order, the Universal church, and coexistence, can be affirmed by the following links:

History & Agenda of the New Age Movement

The following two films “The March to Armageddon” & “The New Age“, by Christian J. Pinto, is a documentary of the history and agenda of the New Age Movement. It shows that the movement is more than just a new spirituality, but it is the religion of the “new world order”.

Authors of Confusion Pt. 13 – The Way of the Master

What makes “Way of the Master” “authors of confusion”? The evangelism T.V. ministry of Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort, was made popular by its partnership with the, heretical, Trinity Broadcasting Network, which it still partners with to this day. This partnership has lasted more than 10 years – ““Ye are little gods” False trinity teachers speak“

Kirk and Ray have both exposed the false teaching of Mormonism. Yet, Kirk is now partnering with Glenn Beck to promote the “God in government” social gospel of America, as though they were both serving the same God – “Glenn Beck – Kirk Cameron Star of “Monumental” – “The Way Of The Master with Kirk Cameron – Mormonism“

Kirk Cameron
I noticed that some are wondering why I appeared on Glenn Beck’s program to talk about my new film MONUMENTAL, and if I understand that he is a Mormon. I wanted to answer these good questions so there are no misunderstandings. I gratefully agreed to be on his program for the same reason I will soon be on CNN, Good Morning America, Today Show, and the rest- to encourage everyone- Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Mormons, and atheists to see this important documentary on March 27th. All of us have skin in this game. Yes, I understand Glenn is a Mormon and I am not. We talked about that very thing in his office before the program. Please pray for Glenn and his family. I care about them. I hope to continue my friendship with Glenn and others in the media to impact and inspire them with the glorious, victorious, unstoppable gospel.

Kirk’s movie, “Monumental”, was made with the help of David Barton, who is a known historical revisionist.- “Shouldn’t a Documentary About History Be Historically Accurate?“

Ray Comfort was interviewed by Joyce Meyer, as though they both believe and teach the same gospel, even though she teaches the “word of faith” heresy, which includes the belief that men are gods – “Ray Comfort on Joyce Meyer’s Show” – “Joyce Myer False Teaching“

The Trinity Broadcasting Network, learned from Kenneth Hagin, who taught the teachings of the Kabbalah as though it were the gospel, when it is really witchcraft. It teaches that men are gods. We can create our own reality by the power of our own will, such as by speaking the right words out loud. Christians therefore, should not be sick or poor, because they are gods, who are able to create their own reality (Matthew 4:3).

This is not the gospel, but a different religion; the Kabbalah. It is an earth-based/works-based salvation.

Galatians 5

7   Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8   But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9   As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

2John 1

8   Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9   Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10   If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11   For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Christ came to into the world to be the payment for our sins, so that we can be made right with God by believing in the work of his Son, and so that we could be raised from the dead to live forever with him (Romans 5:1-11 & Romans 6:1-5). That’s the gospel.

The gospel has nothing to do with “men claiming to be gods”, or creating their own reality. The Bible calls this heresy, of man claiming to be god, “the mystery of iniquity”, which is a heresy that will bring in the great tribulation (2Thessalonians 2:1-8). It is Satanic, and those who follow it will not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21).

What should Christians do about “Way of the Master” ministries, in light of their work of confusion?

Romans 16

17   Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18   For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19   For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

Matthew 7

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Little Horn Pt. 1

The “little horn” is a mystery in Bible prophecy that was foretold by the prophet Daniel. The term “little horn” means little king (Daniel 7:7-8 & Daniel 7:23-25).

The focus of this article series is the kingdom of the “little horn” and its religion.
The purpose of the article series is to show the unveiling of Bible prophecy throughout history.

The kingdom of the “little horn” is the last of the world empires, and is also the kingdom that Jesus Christ will judge, and destroy, when he returns to establish his own kingdom on earth. The foretelling of the rise and fall of world empires was given, by God, through the prophet Daniel, who lived during the reign of the Babylonian Empire, and in the beginning of the reign of the Medo-Persian Empire. Below is a timetable (from top to bottom) of the rise and fall of these empires. The statue is from Daniel chapter 2. It starts with Babylon and ends, at the feet, with the kingdom of iron and clay. The kingdom of iron and clay is the kingdom of the “little horn” (Daniel 7:23-25).

In Daniel 2:31-45, King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream, which only the prophet Daniel can interpret. Daniel gives the interpretation to the king. The dream is of the rise and fall of world empires until Christ’s second coming. The above chart shows both the dream and the fulfillment of the dream. World history shows the last kingdom to be the Holy Roman Empire.Rome of the Caesars is depicted as pure iron. The Holy Roman empire is depicted as both iron and clay.

Daniel also has a dream of the rise and fall of the same kingdoms in chapter 7. In this chapter, the “little horn” is described. The “little horn” is the capital of the last empire. The capital of the last empire is Rome. Rome and the “little horn” are described as one.

The “little horn” no longer reigns over the empire as it use to, but the kingdom itself remains. The “little horn’s” kingdom is Rome, and its religion remains as well. The following articles will describe the religion and history of the “little horn”. The articles will show that the “little horn” is a religion, which ruled over the kings of Europe, and that during its reign, has fulfilled much of Bible prophecy. The article series will show that the religion of the “little horn” is Roman Catholicism, and that the king of the religion is the office of the pope.

Crackdown on Liberty Pt. 4 – United States & Rothschilds of Europe Unite

World View Weekend Radio – “The news is reporting that the Rockefellers of the United States and the Rothschilds of Europe are uniting to form a “strategic partnership.” Brannon uses this story to begin the conversation about how rich and powerful bankers, businessmen, and politicians recently gathered just outside Washington D.C. for the Bilderberger meeting. Are the globalists about to pick the man they are going to support for President in the U.S.? The choice is between globalist Romney and Neo-Marxist Obama. Does this current scenario reveal the long standing partnership and battle between the Fabian Socialists and the Communists? Are the Fabians concerned that Neo-Marxist Obama has awaken a sleeping giant? Is it time for the Neo-Marxist occupying the White House to move on and be replaced by a Communitarian/Fabian Socialist by the name of Romney? Brannon details interesting historical facts that reveal this long standing battle and the long standing battle between those who want their plan to remain secret and those like Carroll Quigley and George Bernard Shaw that wanted the plan to be openly discussed. ” ~ Brannon Howse

Authors of Confusion Pt. 12 – The Age of Reason

Quote from “The Works of John Adams, Second President of the United States, Volume 1“

“But all the provisions that He has made for the gratification of our senses, they are much inferior to the provision, that wonderful provision that He has made for the gratification of our nobler powers of intelligence and reason. He has given us reason to find out truth and the real design and true end of our existence.”

Is this true?
Is the power of reason enough for sinful man to find out truth and the real design and true end of our existence?
Does Adam’s theory takes sin into consideration, as a possible hindrance to finding out man’s real design, and true end of existence?

Comparing Adam’s statement with Scripture reveals the following:

Sin has corrupted our ability to use our reason to acknowledge the true God.

Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Sin causes us not to want to use our reason to search for, and submit to, the truth about God.

Romans 1
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

For this reason, God has caused our reason to become even more wicked.

Romans 1
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents

This judgment from God has also made our ability to reason deficient.

Romans 1
31 Without understanding

This judgment from God also causes the mind of man to delight in the very things that it identifies as wicked.

Romans 1
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Reason cannot rescue mankind from this plight.
God, himself, then proves to be the greatest provision to man.

John 3
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4   Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
5   Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6   That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7   Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8   The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Hebrews 8
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

The hope for the depraved mind is the gospel of Jesus Christ, alone.

2Corinthians 5
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Crackdown on Liberty Pt. 3 – Domestic Terrorists

Persecution of Christians is inevitable, because Christ told his church that the world would hate them just as it hated him. The conspiracy throughout the age of Christendom has been to cause the peoples of the world to hate, and even fear Christians as though they are insurrectionists, antisocial, hateful, murderous, villains. When Christians are marginalized, and demonized, before the public, just as Roman emperor Nero demonized Christians by accusing them of burning Rome, the citizens are then more than willing to allow their government to persecute Christians. This old method of turning the world against Christians is still in action today. An example of this method can be seen in the media’s publicizing of the court case of the Norway mass killer, Anders Behring Breivik, who said that he picked victims who had the ‘leftist’ look. His killing spree has been publicized by the media throughout western society. Now his insane, murderous, heart, is being publicized as well, and everyone will see the evils of extremism; right-wing extremism in particular. Since Christians are known for being right-wing in their political views, they will be further marginalized, and demonized as insurrectionists, antisocial, hateful, murderous, villains. For more information on the Norway mass killer, click on the link entitled, “Anders Behring Breivik“.

To add fuel to the fire of the ongoing method of demonizing Christians, the social gospel’s liberation theology of America teaches Christians that they have the right to take up arms against their government. As Benjamin Franklin stated, “Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God”. Although the legal right to bear arms is under attack, and the Fema camps are setting many Americans on edge because of the “NDAA“, Christians still want to believe in their right to take up arms against their government. This view is widely held by white American Christian republicans, who are proud, stubborn, and not willing to take up their cross of suffering for Christ’ sake. Their outspoken affirmation of their right to own firearms, and to use them to fight against their government, is what is adding fuel to the fire of marginalizing, and demonizing Christians throughout western society. Their determination to ignore Christ’ teachings on this matter will only serve to dig a deeper whole of persecution for Christians to fall into.

American Christians has always been told that they are the exception to the rule of Scripture, which affirms the persecution of everyone who desire to live godly lives (2Timothy 3:12). This is because America was birthed, not by the gospel of Jesus Christ, but by the social gospel, which teaches Americans that they can gain the world (The American Dream/life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness), and not loose their souls in the process. To read more on the corrupting effects of the American social gospel, click on the link entitled “War on Consciousness Pt. 3 – The Monumental Promotion of the ‘Social Gospel‘“.

The American government has already begun its demonization of people who hold to right-wing views. These views of the political right do not affirm the values of the changing moral climate of America, and will no longer be tolerated. Therefore, there is now a campaign to demonize the old morality of the political right, so that the next generation will see them as alien, hateful, extreme, insane, arrogant, and even ungodly. This campaign is being implemented through the educational system, the media, politics, and through religion. For examples of the government’ s conspiracy against right-wing adherents, click on the links entitled “GOVERNMENT SAYS CHRISTIANS ARE TERRORISTS” and “Christians Classified as Terrorists by Obama Administration“.

Crackdown on Liberty Pt. 2 – The Fight for Freedom

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God. ~ Benjamin Franklin

This is not the God of Scripture that he’s referring to.

Genesis 3
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Revelation 12
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The social gospel preaches “fight for your earthly freedom”.
The gospel of Jesus Christ says “overcome by the blood of the lamb, Jesus Christ, and by the word of your testimony”.

God did not promise his church freedom in Satan’s kingdom, but persecution.
Our freedom is in Christ’s return.
To support the social gospel is to partner with the serpent.
To take up arms against the government is to partner with the serpent.
Those who do not take up their cross and deny themselves will lose the savor of a good testimony, for Jesus Christ, to this sinful world.
Those who partner with the serpent will be trodden under foot.

Matthew 5
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

1John 5
3   For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4   For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5   Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
18   We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19   And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20   And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21   Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

The New Christianity Pt. 5 – Hodge-Podge

The “New Christianity” does not adhere to one doctrine of heresy, but many. These many doctrines are brought in by way of a disregard for Scripture, and an overall disregard for truth. This disregard for truth has brought a hodge-podge of pseudo Christian insanity into the church. Therefore, anything goes, and no one questions the falsehood, because few have a desires to know the God of Scripture. Out of the few who do want to know the truth, only a small percentage has the backbone to speak out against it, and separate themselves from the insanity. In this way, the masses who think that they are Christians are actually following a false gospel, and a false Christ, by way of false teachers and false churches that will lead them to destruction and eternal punishment.

Christian American’s reading of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church in Ancient Corinth, is the same as holding a mirror before the American church, and to see its own shameful condition.

2Corinthians 11
1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

3 But I fear, lest by any means, as “the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty“, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4 For if he that cometh “preacheth another Jesus“, whom we have not preached,

or “if ye receive another” spirit, which ye have not received,

or “another gospel“, which ye have not accepted,

“ye might well bear with him“.

What does Scripture require God’s people to do in light of this matter?

Scripture always commands God’s people to separate:

Romans 16
17   Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18   For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

2 Timothy 3
1   This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2   For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3   Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4   Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5   Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Titus 3
9   But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10   A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11   Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

2John 1
8   Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9   Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10   If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11   For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Matthew 7
13   Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14   Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15   Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16   Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17   Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18   A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19   Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20   Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21   Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22   Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23   And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

War on Consciousness Pt. 4 – CHARMED

There is a pervasive element within western society that isn’t given the attention that it deserves. This element needs to be addressed, because of the damage that it does to individuals, families, neighborhoods, and society at large. This pervasive element makes strong men weak, and enslaves them. It sets traps for the simple, and then devours them. It manipulates the innocent in order to perverts them. Coming as a friend, while it is actually an enemy, it is a deceiver at heart. Although many times it appears to be benevolent, it is a ravenous wolf in disguise. It gains the trust of the unsuspecting in order to infiltrate their circles. It sows the seed of corruption for the sake of destruction. The pervasive element that needs to be brought to our attention is the “seducing spirit”.

The seducing spirit operates from two positions. One is the position of weakness, and the second is the position of strength. The seducing spirit must start off from the position of weakness in order to gain the position of power. The goal of the seducing spirit is control. Whenever the seducing spirit operates from the position of weakness it usually uses deception, subtly, and appeals to the one’s desires and convictions. Manipulation, and is the best way to operate when one is weaker than one’s opponent, because instead of fighting a battle which one cannot hope to win, it instead, tricks the opponent into believing that both parties are actually on the same side. The result of this deception would be for the opponent to believe the solicitation, which is to either take from the deceiver, what is being offered, or to join forces with the deceiver, being convinced that both parties are on the same side, and therefore, should work toward a common goal. However, the goal of the seducing spirit is never to help, but only to gain control over the opponent.

The control that the seducing spirit desires is that of making the opponent dependent upon the spirit so that the opponent cannot break free from its hold. Whenever this happens, the opponent becomes a slave to the spirit, who is now operating from a position of strength. The spirit has gone from that of a solicitor, to a tyrant. For example: this transition from solicitor, to tyrant can be seen in the Genesis chapter 3 account, which is the fall of man. The serpent comes to Eve, and convinces her that disobeying God, and listening to the serpent instead, is in her best interest. Satan is the serpent, and his goal is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet, he isn’t able to do anything to Adam and Eve, because they belong to God. However, Satan knew that if Adam and Eve did not keep God’s law, which was to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they would have to die. Therefore, Satan had to work from the position of weakness, as a solicitor, in order to convince Eve to make a decision that would destroy her. The result was for Adam and Eve to become subject to the control of sin, as well as their descents (Romans 5:12). This fall into sin, which was rebellion against God, allowed Satan to become the god of mankind, because whomever one submits to then becomes that one’s slave (Romans 6:16).

Another aspect of the seducing spirit’s solicitation is for the purpose of gaining the love and adoration of the opponent. In this way, the stronger opponent voluntarily submits to the weaker spirit as though it is worthy of honor and adoration. This approach can be extremely difficult to resist when one is deceived by the solicitor, because of the influence the spirit has over the opponent’s conscience, and because it is hard for the opponent to refuse the demands of the one it is in love with. An example of this can be seen in the account of Samson, who had two lovers that committed emotional blackmail against him by crying until he give them vital information that could cause him trouble. Samson’s enemies were too weak to over power or out smart him, so they gained the advantage over him by causing his lovers to play the role of the seducing spirit. This brought Samson to complete ruin and oppression by his enemies, who trapped him, blinded him, enslaved him, and made a mockery of him before their nation, and before their pagan gods.

Whenever a seducing spirit gains the position of tyrant over a person, it plays out in various ways. For Samson, he was physically, and emotionally, enslaved. First he was enslaved by the women he love, and later he was enslaved by the Philistines, which he hated. Because of the effects of the seducing spirit, people should not be naive, but careful in regards to who and what they fall in love with.

The seducing spirit is the enemy, and it comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It comes in many forms, but it is always the enemy. This is always true, whether it is a teacher, pastor, family member, politician, musician, actor, friend, media personality…etc.

The hardest person to turn away from is the one that we’re in love with.

The hardest idol to identify and turn away from is the one that we love and worship.

The hardest false teacher to turn away from is the won that we love and learn from.

The hardest worldly philosophy to turn away from is the one that we love.

We are not exempt from seduction, because no one of us is all-knowing and sinless. That is why we put our trust, not in our own moral fiber, but Christ’ righteousness, which is perfect, and never fails. This perfect righteousness of Jesus is what made him a suitable sacrifice for our sins. Not only that, but if we sin, he is also our mediator between us and the Father. Therefore, if we confess our sins, instead of defending ourselves before God and others, he is faithful and just to forgive us of all our sins, and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Furthermore, we can be sure that we belong to God if we abide in the teachings of Christ through studying, meditating upon, and obeying them. In this way, we will both know the truth, who is Jesus Christ – the Son of God, and will be set free by him. That includes being set free from the sins of the seducing spirit, and its control over our soul.

The seducing spirit is indeed a trap, but thanks be to God, that through Jesus Christ, we can be brought back from the deceiver. In fact, this is the reason that Jesus came into the world; to destroy the works of the ultimate seducer & tyrant, who is that old serpent, the devil, and Satan, who deceives the who world. Satan has brought the whole world into the darkness of deception and sin, but the light has come into the world, and whoever abides in him will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. Therefore, we all must repent of our sins, turn away from the seducer, who is Satan, and believe Christ’ good news of salvation. If we do not turn from our sins, and put our trust in Christ, we will die in our sins. Yet, everyone who believes in the Son of God has the right to become the children of God, and are set free from sin and the seducing spirits of this world.

John 8
12   Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
23   And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24   I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
31   Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32   And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
34   Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35   And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36   If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

John 1
11   He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12   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:
13   Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

1John
5   This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6   If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7   But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8   If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9   If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10   If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

1John 2
1   My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2   And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3   And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4   He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5   But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6   He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

1John 3
3   And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4   Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5   And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6   Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7   Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8   He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9   Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10   In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

1John 5
1   Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2   By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3   For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4   For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5   Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
18   We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19   And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20   And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21   Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
