Fighting the Four Evils

Much of the time, the earthly temporal things people have are not truly from God. Satan himself gives people such things, including things that are not inherently sinful, such as food and temporal authority. Satan tempting Jesus in the desert shows that satan himself is capable of giving people things they want or need (Matthew 4:3-9). Many people, especially the most rich people, work very hard for the things of the world, and are rewarded by the world. They devote themselves to pleasing people to gain their favour, and use all kinds of ways to get what they want, for themselves, even if it requires one to be unethical, immoral, unjust or unrighteous. They can never rest when things do not go their way, and seek to 'resolve' difficulties by all manner of evil and wickedness.  The things which they have are not from God, and are not God's "blessings", but from the devil, which the world rewards them with.  They earned what they have as a result of seeking thin...

The following articles are excellent articles written by a prophetic brother in Christ on mammon and how the true follower of Christ should view and handle riches: http://www.christiantruthcenter.com/bible-advice-on-money-riches-and-wealth/ http://www.christiantruthcenter.com/contentment-is-great-gain-from-the-rich-man-parable/ http://www.christiantruthcenter.com/getting-money-riches-and-wealth-great-dangers/ http://www.christiantruthcenter.com/enjoy-money-riches-and-wealth/ The articles will challenge, if not shake many of you to the core, because of the falsehoods  about riches, money and wealth that so many of you are under.

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...

This is an excellent article about worldliness, which explains how followers of Christ can fall into worldliness, all without realising it: http://www.gty.org/Blog/B160912

But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish (James 3:14-15). The world comes up with all kinds of excuses to justify sin. Many of these excuses seem very wise, sophisticated and reasonable. However, that is part of demonic deception, which deceives all those who trust in earthly, and fleshly wisdom, and trust not God. All worldly wisdom as described by James 3:14-15 is a manifestation of bitter envying and strife: But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish . One of the myriad of excuses for sin which the world thinks is totally and absolutely legitimate in justifying sin, is that of 'moral hazard'. It believes that moral hazard is a legitimate excuse for usury.  The "moral hazard" doctrine purports that a...

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:3-8). We live in a world full of competition and the desire to be independent, especially the western world. Competition in and of itself is a manifestation of independence, wanting to get what one wants in one's own way as opposed to following the ways of God, which is in and of itself a sin. Those who are full of the spirit of independence love competition. Competition is not something that they feel ...

And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword.   Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there (1 Kings 19:1-3). The vile, abominable, disgusting, evil, wicked, Hell-deserving harlot witch of a Queen, Jezebel may be dead. This glorious, wonderful, beautiful truth that Jezebel died in a gruesome way can be found in 2 Kings 9:33-37: So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot. And when he had gone in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “Go now, see to this accursed woman, and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.” So they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull and...

We are living in the midst of a spiritual war. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). Evil demons are real and are seeking to lead people to Hell. In doing so, they seek to ensure that people are not vigilant of them. However, there is one particularly deceptive spirit, the spirit of Jezebel who is probably one of the most deceptive of all.  She is by no means the the only evil demon who seeks to destroy souls and take them to Hell. She is by no means isolated in her work. She works very intimately with the spirit of mammon, who just as equally pernicious and deceptive, through families, politics, education, and the whole global financial system. She also works very intimately with the spirit of witchcraft, and the spirit of witchcraft works together with the spirit of mammon. Whenever you see the spirit of witchcraf...

The world trusts only what it can see. It lives by sight, not by faith for it is unrighteous and knows not God. It is the righteous live by faith, that is, the true Church (Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38). However, the Church, who is the body of true followers of Christ, can fall into sin, including the sin of unbelief, which is a lack of trust in God.  Matthew 14:29-31 gives one such example. In Matthew 14:29-31, Peter was fearful of walking on water even when Jesus told him to, because he lacked faith:  And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.   But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Many in the modern Church are truly under the spirit of mammon. What this means is not that they have no fa...

  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways (James 1:6-8). The modern Church in the prosperous, liberal West, which has been influenced by vile, evil doctrines of demons coming out of the stinkhole of the west, is full of double-mindedness. This is precisely a manifestation of an evil, wicked heart, which seeks for God's grace, blessings, kindness and love, but yet in its vile, wickedness, seeks for the comfort, prosperity, wealth, and promises of the world. On one hand, one praises God for His grace, and kindness and mercy, and on the other hand, it does not obey God in seeking comfort, prosperity, wealth and promises of the world. James 3:9-10 says: " Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of t...
