How the Rich have Power over others

Through the whole of human history, the rich are always those who have power to make all the decisions in the world. How do the rich become powerful? It is not the money itself that makes them powerful. It is that the world loves money and fears the rich which makes them powerful. Those who love money, by their love of money, empower the rich. This love of money which ensnares people, gives power to those who have money over those who do not, or those who have less. Indeed, the rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7).

The same occurs in the Church, yes even the true Church which is made of true converts who still can and do succumb to the flesh. The pastors and church leaders fear offending the rich people in the Church today because they are the ones who enable pastors and church leaders to use the arm of the flesh the most. Their means of provision is that which legitimises trust in the arms of the flesh. That is why pastors and church leaders fear offending people.

 Such is the modern Church which trusts in the arms of the flesh and full of the fear of people. That is why the modern Church is useless, ineffective and good-for-nothing, having no impact on the world, let alone turning it upside down.

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe (Proverbs 29:25).

Two types of contentment

The world seeks contentment. It seeks to be contented in pursuit of all kinds of things, whether it be money, health, wealth, romance, sex, careers or family. It does not necessarily seek after riches to be content. However, that one does not seek after money as the first priority, but other things that are typically associated with good traditional values, such as family, does not in any way mean that one is content in the godly sense. By no means! A person can be a "conservative" and "religious" but just as earthly as the "liberal". There are two types of contentment: earthly contentment and godly contentment. Earthly contentment finds its fulfillment and satisfaction in things that are passing away, not necessarily money, but also things like family, education and children. Yes, that's right. Many professing American Christians think that they could never be under the spirit of mammon because they care for their families and love their families, a...

Signs of a Person under the spirit of mammon

Both the unsaved and saved can be under the spirit of mammon. Do not be deceived! An unsaved person can only serve mammon because it is not part of his nature to submit to God in any way (Romans 8:7). However, the Christian can most definitely yield to the temptations of mammon just as he can yield to the temptations of satan. This is what is means for a Christian to be under the spirit of mammon. The signs of a person being under the spirit of mammon are: The person does not understand the spirit of mammon. This is because he or she is blinded by it and therefore cannot see it. The person reacts whenever being confronted with being told that they are under the spirit of mammon, or being told that they may be under it. This is not the person themselves reacting, but the spirit of mammon reacting. The person is self-satisfied with the abundance that they have. This is especially the case with many Christians today. They are happy with having a family, a well-paying job, security...

The spirit of Paganism is of Degeneracy, Rebellion and Bloodlust

Paganism is the rejection and hostility towards all Christian virtues. It is not merely the unbelief in fundamental Christian theological doctrine, but the hatred of Christian virtues. This ultimately leads to the active, outright embrace of all manner of degeneracy. The scriptures describes such paganism in Romans 1:18-32:   For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts wer...
