Fighting the Four Evils

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.  For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. (1 Timothy 6:9-11) The Word of God makes it clear that those who seek money will pierce themselves with many sorrows. The question is what does it mean to seek money, and why is it that doing so will lead to many sorrows.  To seek money is not to be equated with working, and working is not to be equated with seeking money. They are different and separate concepts which people often confound together. People often think that to say that one should not seek money is to say that one should not work. That is a serious misconception about what it mean...

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king (1 Samuel 15:23). Debt not only has the spirit of mammon behind it. It also has the spirit of witchcraft behind it. The spirit of witchcraft is seeks to control people, in the most subtle of ways. She does not always work through domineering ways, such as through rebellious, vile, disgusting, wicked, abominable people, such as the modern woman who is a abominable jezebel, and a vile witch. No, do not be deceived. The spirit of witchcraft works works through gentle ways, as much as through domineering ways. She even works through submission. Such is her dangerous deathly deception! Just as the spirit of antichrist works through all false religions, whether aggressive or peaceful,  militant or tolerant, mean or gentle, prosperity or poverty, the spirit of witchcraft works through all kinds of diametric...

We live in an evil world that loves to call evil good, and good evil, put light for darkness, and darkness for light, and call bitter sweet, and sweet bitter (Isaiah 5:20). Thus, it loves to lie about oppression, and loves to pretend oppression to seduce people by its lies. Indeed, the most classic example of this is the feminist movement, which claims oppression on the grounds of women having allegedly lower pay for the same work, women as more likely to be involved in harlotry, and of course, more likely to look after children. This, of course, is not the only example of a false sense of oppression.  Many in the world love to claim that they are oppressed so as to excuse themselves for their envy, greed, anxiety for earthly things, and desire for carnal sympathy towards them. Whether it be those in the non-west who claim oppression at the hands of a leader who does not give them as much "human rights" and "liberty" as those in the west who they admire, simply be...

The world fights for liberty. It speaks and gives a kind of liberty that is sensual, earthly and demonic. It is of earthly, sensual and demonic wisdom as manifested in its wars, conflict and fights, as oppose to true peace.  True wisdom leads to peace (James 3:17-18). Worldly wisdom leads to war, conflict and fights. The spirit of mammon is behind the worldly wisdom of liberty, which feeds on envy and strife.  The spirit of mammon works through the worldly doctrine of liberty by feeding on the fleshly desire to act in one's way, thriving on envy and strife. This manifests in the envy and strife that people have towards those who they perceive in their eyes to have more earthly freedom and liberty than them. It explains why people lament the earthly freedom and liberty others have, admiring those who are more "liberated" than oneself is, and having worldly sorrow for those who are less "liberated" than oneself is.  The spirit of mammon in working through the ...

The modern western Church thinks that it can still have 'rights' and follow Jesus. You may say that it is not that one does not have any rights, but that one must simply not cling to them. No, it is well-established and settled that there is no such thing as a 'right' in the first place. No, not at all.  To claims rights in whatever cultural, social, political, economic or religious context is to claim sovereignty because the spirit behind claiming one's so-called rights is of envy, pride and self-entitlement. All those who fight for rights are full of envy, pride and self-entitlement, whether unsaved or saved. Before you dismiss the claim that there are many professing Christians who are under the spirit of mammon to be referring to only false brothers and sisters, as some easy cop-out, know this: the Bible never says a Christian cannot fall into envy, pride and self-entitlement, and thereby be under the spirit of mammon. It is all to easy to feel humanistic sy...

The world thinks that peace can be found by not being in conflict, or war with others. This is only partially true, and a very dangerous half-truth. While warring against others to seek one's own self-interests, such as financial resources, political power, or revenge is absolutely ungodly, warring to correct evil is not wrong, but righteous. Such as war is not one waged by the flesh, involving murdering humans, but by the Sword of the Word of God. Such war is an ideological one, seeking to attack false doctrines which opposed God: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). The world thinks that peace comes from tolerating all ways of life, thinking and actions including evil ones. Such is the spirit of earthliness and worldliness working through the world. It thinks that peace comes when all people have liberty, rights and equality ...

The modern world loves "equality". That a evil, vile, wicked, abominable world loves equality should itself be very telling about the purity and godliness of such a vile doctrine.  The doctrine of "equality" feeds on bitter envy. The spirit of mammon seeks to stir up the masses into not only anxiety for their earthly needs. He is not satisfied with that. No, he seeks to stir up conflict between people in the world, and also in the Church by causing division. He achieves through making people feel oppressed, and unfairly or unjustly treated through lack of earthly things in comparison to others. One of his favourite tactics which works every time on the unsaved is to make them compare their access to earthly  needs and things with that others.  He thrives on rivarly, competition and division. He especially manifests himself in 'independence' and 'liberation'. He blinds prideful, self-centred people into thinking they are 'liberated' and ...
