The Degenerate Mindset

Many Christians think that degeneracy is simply about sexual immorality. They love to target the unsaved who practise sexual sins such as fornication, adultery and homosexuality as the degenerates, all while having fornicated before marriage themselves and excusing their own sin on the basis of 'grace'.  However, such gross sins are only the symptoms of degeneracy, rather than constituting its essence. Romans 1:26-32 lists these sins as only a few sins among many others that are symptoms of degeneracy. Many professing Christians, many of whom are false converts, are themselves filled with all manner of unrighteousness (Romans 1:29) in being full of maliciousness, double-mindedness, gossiping, backbiters, unloving, unforgiving and unmerciful. Such are those who curse and threaten the true converts, the true prophets of God who speak truth and rebuke these false converts!  The essence of degeneracy is the deliberate rejection of God and His ways, in pursuit of pleasure and t...

The spirit of Religion makes Perverse Use of the Law to seek Blessings for oneself and to Curse others

People are talking about all kinds of evil spirits that are working in Church today. The two spirits which everyone loves to talk about are the spirits of jezebel and the spirit of witchcraft. Yet, they almost never talk about the spirit of mammon, which is the only spirit that Jesus actually mentioned, and the spirit of religion, which was the spirit that accused Jesus of blasphemy and murdered Him. This is itself a manifestation of the spirit of religion which does nothing but accuses not simply the innocent, but the righteous, of being wicked. And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.  But Peter followed Him at a distance to the high priest’s courtyard. And he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.   Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death,  but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forw...

A Vision from the Lord about the Spiritual Narcissist - Part 2

The Lord then gave me another vision. It was that of another egg-shaped object that was exactly the same as that of the first image, except that it had no cord around it. It continued to grow bigger and bigger. The more it sought to help other egg-shaped objects, the more grew larger and larger. The Lord then told me that it represents the soul that flourishes, one free from the bondage to the spirit of narcissism, and free from all domination by any narcissist. The Lord further told me that the soul that is dominated by the narcissist typically does not know that it is being dominated by that person. Rather, it thinks its plight to be simply a matter of loving the narcissist, and living a self-sacrificial life. This is why empaths, especially those who are Servants of Christ, are very easily manipulated. In seeking the best in others, and loving others unconditionally, they often fail to realise when they are being manipulated by a narcissist. The Lord then explained t...

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...

The True Pursuit of Jesus is to Stop Pursuing Anything of this World for Oneself and to Devote Oneself to Him Fully and Wholeheartedly

Many professing Christians claim that they are following Him, but the reality is that they are not truly following Jesus. While they may try as hard to obey Him, they cannot fully obey all of His Commands because they do not fully accept all of His Commands in full.  They are willing to follow Jesus, but only on their terms. They are willing to follow Him only where their desires, wants, dreams, visions and ambitions can be satisfied. Whenever following Him conflicts with their desires, wants, dreams, visions and ambitions, they do not want to follow Him, but instead want God to accommodate for these desires, wants, dreams or ambitions.  Such so-called 'christians' are those who appear godly but are ambitious about their own careers or vocations, including ministry careers, are driven, and are constantly talking about their dreams and 'waiting on God' to fulfill their desires. Such people are not true Servants of God. Instead, they want God to serve them. They serve...

A Servant of God is Not to Seek Money, Fame, Power, Influence or Success

A Servant of God should never seek money, fame, power, influence or success. Why? Because such things are earthly temporal things. Seeking such things is earthly and worldly, without exception or qualification.  Jesus made it very clear, " For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also " (Matthew 6:21). This means that if one is seeking money, fame, power, influence or success, one's heart is with the world, for such things are of the world. Seeking financial security on this earth shows that one's heart is with the world. Doing anything to seek such financial security, such as marrying and having a family for financial security as a reason is worldliness and earthliness. It is sin. Such people will not see the Kingdom of Heaven and will go to Hell if they do not repent and turn to Jesus Christ. Jesus said: Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;   but lay up for yourselves treas...

The spirit of Mammon enslaves by Stealing one's Joy, and Driving one to Seek Riches

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (1 Timothy 6:10) Those who seek to be rich will pierce themselves with many sorrows. Such sorrows will then lead to destruction. People who chase after riches do not chase after riches because they are happy. They chase after it because of their sorrow. Their sorrow drives them to chase after riches, leading to even more sorrows. They are sorrowful for having less than they want, less than they think is fair, or less than others. It is because of this sorrow that they are driven to seek riches, thinking it will make them happy and joyful. However, such a person is like a hamster on a wheel. He seeks riches out of sorrow, thinking it will give him satisfaction, only to find that it drowns him in more sorrow. So, as he seeks more riches, he drowns himself in more sorrow each time. The spirit of mammon uses sorrow to dri...

Why the spirit of Mammon and the Prosperity "gospel" is Far More Dangerous and Perverse than You think

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (2 Peter 2:1-3)  There are many prosperity teachers who have arisen today. They are all around us and are destroying many, leading them to Hell. Many genuine Church teachers, preachers and pastors, while acknowledging their wickedness, simply dismiss them and do nothing to counter them. However, this is not a sufficient or adequate response. For these false teachers who preach the prosperity "gospel", in either its more obvious or subtle form, are extremely dangerous....
