A Vision from the Lord about the Spiritual Narcissist - Part 1

I received a revelation earlier this evening when I was taking my evening nap on Thursday 9 May 2019. It was about narcissism and its spiritual implications. I saw a vision where there was a reddish purple soft, squeezable egg-shaped object called the 'soul' that was being wrapped around by a cord. It was not a chain, but a rope. As it was almost completely being wrapped around, the egg-shaped object which represented the soul was then crushed. It cried out, and then the hand which crushed it stopped, only to wrap in around with the cord and crush it again. This same cycle continued to happen until infinity. The Lord told me that the cord represents the constraints that the spirit of narcissism imposes on the soul, and the crushing of the soul represents what the narcissist ultimately seeks to do: to crush a person. As the soul not only represents the person, but that a person is a soul, this crushing represents the crushing of person, to not simply diminish the person, or to s...

A Vision about the spirit of Religion

I saw a vision during the evening on Friday 26 April 2019: I saw a woman being tied up in metal chains. There were chains all over her. She was struggling and crying out. As she cried out, a man placed  a duct tape, with two strips of heavy-duty tape cross over each other, over her mouth to stop her cries. As she continued to cry out, the man slapped her in the face twice to make her shut up. The woman symbolises those under the spirit of religion. The chains symbolises bondage, and the man symbolises those who use religion to oppress others, and hold them in bondage, more specifically spiritual bondage . The Lord later revealed to me that the chains are the rules that religion imposes on people based on false doctrines that people try to find, by twisting Scripture. These rules tie people up in bondage. The duct tape symbolises the attempt to stop people from calling out to God for truth, because they are being told that the false doctrines imposed by religious people are the ...

A Vision from the Lord about Bondage owing to Marriage

The following is a vision that the Lord gave me on Thursday 25 April 2019 while I was taking a nap: I had a vision during dusk during my nap. I saw two images. The first image was of a man and a woman lovingly and freely embracing each other, lip-locked, and most significantly without a cord wrapped around them to bind them together. They were bound together in one flesh. The second image showed a man and a woman with a cord wrapped around them both to bind them together. Unlike in the first image, they were neither embracing each other at all, nor lip-locked. The expression on their faces was one of anger, bitterness, sadness, pain, frustration or upset - anything but joy and peace. Despite the cord wrapped around them both, they were still not bound together in one flesh. They were still separate from each other, despite being wedded to each other.  The Lord told me that most marriages are like that of the second image where the husband and wife are supposed to be one flesh b...

True Christianity is Spiritual, Not Religious. Religion Deceives, True Christianity enlightens.

There are many deceptions in the professing Church today. One of the most insidious deceptions, if not the most insidious is that of religion. Religion deceives far more people than any secular ideology. Religious people recoil at secular thinking and its materialism, carnality and worldliness, but yet they think that materialism, carnality and worldliness wrapped under the guise of religion is not only justified, but right. The spirit of religion is real. The spirit of religion is a person, not an event, phenomenon or abstract idea. He is a demon. He has deceived so many people and is continuing to do so. Religion is not spiritual. True Christianity is not religion. It is a real and living intimate relationship with God. Most professing Christians are under the spirit of religion, all without realising it. For he or she who is under a spirit cannot see it. One must be delivered from it to be able to see it. The spirit of religion is extremely dangerous, far more dangerous than the...

False Teachers are Full of Lawlessness and Legalism

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 1:4). False teachers are full of lawlessness and seek to push their lawlessness onto others. The Bible warns about them because they infiltrate the Church and attempt to pervert Church teaching. They are extremely deceptive, and deceive many, who do not even realise that they are deceived. Their deception is often very subtle. They deceive not by outright lies, but by subtle lies that underlie their doctrines, which shape one's mindset, often without realising it.  Such lies have caused many to fall into spiritual bondage and which tempt people to sin, not because they seek to sin, but out of frustration, discontentment, anger, or pain.  For example, many false teachers in the contemporary context do not explicitly say, but effectively imply by t...

Beware Legalistic Doctrine Which is a Snare and Puts People in Spiritual Bondage

There are many teachers who claim to be Christians and who teach about Christian living. Many of them teach specific target audiences, and how certain areas of Christian living such be done, such as work, marriage, child-rearing and child discipline. However, many of these teachers impose specific rules which are not found in the Bible as to how people should live or not live. As a result, they claim that the Bible teaches something when it does not, and are therefore in error. Such spiritual error is dangerous because it will hold people in bondage to false teaching. Examples of false teaching include the teaching that ministry work is more holy, righteous, and God-glorifying that non-ministry work, that people must enter full-time ministry work if they are unmarried, that women cannot be called to work in certain arenas like business and academia, and that people must marry and have a family to holy and righteous. Such teaching is either explicit and implicit in many churches and...

Christ is the ONLY and ULTIMATE Blessing

Many in the modern Church think that they are so "blessed" because they have a house, spouse, car, dream career, take regular holidays and have plenty of disposable income. That itself a tragic indictment of the Church. What do all these things mean if you live a life not worthy of Christ? Nothing. It is just vanity of vanities. These things where they tempt you to love the world, or your own life more than Christ are just curses to you. None of these things are blessings in themselves. They may be manifestations of God's favour, but they are not in and of themselves blessings. It is Jesus who is not only the ultimate blessing, but the only one. Without using all that God graciously bestows upon you for Jesus Christ, to serve Christ and your fellow man, all the so-called "blessings" you have are not blessings. They are just empty vain curses. Your own very life is just vanity of vanities, a vain curse to you where it is not worthy of Christ. For God gave y...

Debt is a Trap from the World Seeking to Enslave People to Mammon, and Devour Souls

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2). The Bible warns about not following the world (Romans 12:2), loving the world (1 John 2:15), or being friends with the world (James 4:4). The world is an organised system designed to not only to encourage sinners to sin, but to seduce those who resist sin into sin, and enslave them to sin. It seeks to not only enslave, but actively force people to enslaved to the world's systems. The prince of the world is not passive in seeing sinners sin. His focus is on the saints, hell-bent on ensnaring them into the systems of the world, seeking to seduce them with all kinds of allures. Of the most dangerous allures he uses is the allure of ease, comfort and security.  Debt is a powerful way of alluring people. There is a whole system in the western world designed to enslave people to debt. That rent is muc...

The spirit of Fear Tempts Christians to Fail to Fully Trust in God with a Pure Heart

Many true Christians know in their heads that they cannot serve both God and mammon (Matthew 6:24). They do not want to, since they have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit. However, they still struggle as they succumb to the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life (1 John 2:16). The lust of the eyes screams out to people to desire the things they can see, and their appearance of greatness, security, comfort and pleasure, tempting them to seek such things with no eternal value, instead of God. The lust of the flesh screams that one seek to have all that one can see, just because one can. The pride of life causes one to measures one's worth, or one's blessedness, that is, one's favour with God, by the amount of lust of the eyes and of the flesh that can be satisfied in oneself.  Perfect love casts out fear, and there is no fear in love (1 John 4:18). True Biblical love overcomes any fear that one may have at all, because its seeks God, focuses on God, and v...

The Danger of Spiritual Error to the Salvation of Men

The modern Church in the west is a weak Church. There is nothing further from the truth. It is because of the fear of man and the desire to be independent of Christ in thinking it knows the right way to worship God, that the modern Church in the west is full of error, errors which fall short of being heresies, but spiritual errors nonetheless which hurt spiritually . Such hurt hinder others in their walk with Christ, or from being able to carry out commands of Christ in the most fulsome way such as preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Zeal is needed to be able to be saved right unto the end. Salvation is a process, not a one-off transaction like so many of us make it out to be. It is a process. The Bible contains more references to 'being saved', rather than that a person 'has been saved': For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18). For we are the aroma of Christ to G...

The spirit of Witchcraft works Through the Whole Financial System by appeasing the Flesh and Trapping the Masses in Bondage to mammon

The spirit of witchcraft is alive and roaring about, seeking to manipulate, intimidate and dominate. She does so in all kinds of ways in all contexts. One such way is through the global financial system.  The spirit of witchcraft does not just work through abortion, feminism and sexual immorality, although she certainly does. She works through all channels by which deception can be made, to control and manipulate those under her grip.  Where there is deception, there is sin. Where there is sin being pursued, there is spiritual bondage (Galatians 3:24). Such is the case with all sins including systemic sins that are practiced widely and institutionalised in the God-ordained institutions of government, family and marriage.  The role of the government is to punish evil and reward good: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execut...
