Fighting the Four Evils

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,   speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,  forbidding to marry,  and commanding  to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.  For every creature of God  is  good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving;   for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:1-5 People often look at cults and heretical sects and regard them as laughable fanatics and lunatics who they could not possibly end up following. They look at them pitifully and condescendingly at the same time, thinking they are so wise. Yet, most people are themselves under their own heresies, be it oneness pentacostalism, atheism, Islam or Judaism. Most, if not all her...

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” 2  And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3  but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4  Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5  For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6  So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate (Genesis 3:1-6). A person in the audience asked Ravi Zacharias during one of his outreach events about post-modernism. Startled, Zacharias sa...

We live in an age of debt slavery. There are many unsaved who can see debt slavery, for what it is economically, culturally, financially and socially. However, they cannot see the spirit behind it. On the other hand, many in the modern Church have not even heard of the term debt slavery. Those who have do not soundly understand it, let alone understand how wicked, evil, and repugnant debt slavery is.  Debt slavery is a grave abomination. It is far far far more wicked than most Christians would think, just as rebellion against authority is by far much more evil those most Christians would think. It is of the spirit of witchcraft and rebellion, just as evil anarchist, marxist ideologies are of the spirit of witchcraft and rebellion The typical modern Christian thinks that the worst sin is abortion, because it is the murder of an image-bearer of God. Abortion, which is murder is undoubtedly a hideous abomination, deserving of all the fiery wrath of God. However, murder, being an a...

Know this: Secular people (in the typical sense of the term) are mean, judgmental, hateful of "religious" people (ie. Christians), happy to support non-Christian religious people  because of their anti-christ spirit, intolerant, though thinking they are tolerant. They are hypocritical, immoral, proud, arrogant, boastful, self-centred, sexually immoral (of course), disobedient to parents, dishonest, slanderous of Christians. They are narrow-minded themselves, while accusing others of being narrow minded, and of course, content with their riches, self-satisfied and smug. They are presumptuous, and think they know everything; argumentative about theology while knowing nothing, NOTHING about theology and twisting it. They are the worst group of people because of their sexual immorality and celebration of it - one of the most serious sins. Moreover, they love to lie about sexuality and how moral it is to be sexually immoral.

Wars are ultimately caused by unforgiveness and the absence of love, which is hatred. Ravi Zacharias once said that the conflicts and wars in the Middle East are the "logical outworking of unforgiveness". Indeed, war is not merely based on hate. War is hate. Despite wickedness coming from the human heart (Matthew 15:19), there are evil spirits behind all evils in the world. Behind every deception, which is the beginning of all evils is a demonic spirit or satan himself. 1 John 4:1 warns:  Dear friends,  do not believe every spirit,  but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world . Likewise, 1 Timothy 4:1 warns of deceiving spirits:  N ow the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.  Deceiving spirits exist. The spirit of deception is the initiator of wars. His greatest deception is that war ...

A Modern Ideology? Many think that feminism is a modern, progressive ideology, only able to be appreciated by the sophisticated secular woman, and never able to be accepted by the ‘naive, religious woman’ too weak to even stand up for herself. However, the spirit of feminism has been around since the Garden of Eden when Eve gave the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil to her husband Adam. Feminism is a subversion spirit that satan uses to make woman turn against man, despise his authority, and ultimately, make her think that God “subordinates” her by subjecting her to ‘oppression’ by virtue of her role as a helper.   Feminism is satan’s tool against woman, not out of love, but out of hate. He seeks to malign her view of God, hate man, that is, male persons, and despise his God-given authority so as to show contempt to God’s order of Creation. The spirit of feminism is against God’s order of Creation for male and female distinctions by virtue of roles, but not...
