Fighting the Four Evils

The spirit of religion is an extremely pernicious and dangerous spirit, far more dangerous than the spirit of Jezebel who everyone loves to target. Let me be clear, the spirit of Jezebel is evil, but she only arises because the spirit of Abab exists. One would be wise to remember that it was not the spirit of Jezebel, but the spirit of religion who murdered Jesus. For every one person under the spirit of Jezebel, there are thousands under the spirit of religion. The spirit of religion is a vile spirit that not only claims holiness and righteousness, and appears to be holy and righteous to others. It is a spirit that attempts to justifies its own wickedness and unrighteousness by trying to legitimise its false holiness and righteousness on others. This explains why religious people love the moral Law. It is because in trying to legitimise their own holiness and righteousness, they must find that by which they can justify themselves. The Law, not Grace, is the avenue that allows them ...

Many Christians love to point out the sins of sexual immorality, theft, abortion and drunkenness in others. They think that God is pleased with them because they do not commit such sins. However, many of them are full of carnality, living very carnal and worldly lives as evident in their mindset, thinking, attitudes and outlook on life - and they do not even know how carnal they are. The truth is that many Christians live outwardly respectable lives, lives where one has never been involved in sexual immorality, drunkenness, abortion, or theft. However, their lifestyle demonstrates that they are full of the love of self, love of pleasure and the love of mammon. Indeed, 2 Timothy 3:1-5 has prophecised about such vile people: But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money , boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brut...

There is much misconception about what true peace is by many in the professing Church. Many think that it is to not stir up trouble, fight or contend boldly and publicly with people who disagree with oneself. They think that Jesus was peaceful in that He would strongly rebuke, scold, or chastise. This is a serious misconception. Jesus pronounced seven woes to the scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 23:13-39). He told the paralysed man he healed, and the woman caught in adultery to sin no more without qualification in his command to stop sinning (John 5:14-15; 8:11). He did not only strongly rebuke the hypocritical Pharisees, but anyone who sinned. He cared not who it was. As long as someone sinned, he would rebuke them boldly, directly, openly without compromise. Jesus is kind, merciful and gentle, but by no means does this mean He is pacifist. If Jesus were a pacifist, He would not have overturned the tables of the usurers and merchants, and chased them out of the Temple of His Father:...

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh ! (Matthew 18:4-7)  Many in the modern Church are causing their fellow saints to stumble by their vain speech and idle babbling, all without knowing. The Bible has much to say about speech. Speech itself has an effect on the hearer, not merely emotionally or psychologically, but spiritually. Indeed, " death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" (Proverbs 18:21). The mere listening to, or in the case of the internet, the re...

Everyone in the modern Church loves to talk about God's love, grace and mercy, but hates to talk about His wrath, justice and anger. They snarl at anyone who dares point out that God is angry at the wicked everyday (Psalm 7:11) and that God hates (Psalm 5:5; Psalm 11:5; Leviticus 20:23; Proverbs 6:16-19; Hosea 9:15). These Bible verses tell us this: The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:5). The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth (Psalm 11:5). And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them (Leviticus 20:23). These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh l...
