Spiritual People
Mixing up Images of desired gods to worship!!!
We are now living in a time where billions of people really don't know who God is. Yet, in their own unclean minds it’s clear to them that they are connected to Him. Some refer to Him as the man upstairs, others say me and Him have an understanding. Then there are those who say they love and serve him, but nothing could be further from the truth. How do I know my statement is 100% valid? Because any unsaved person can in no way know the will of God unless they have been born again and then filled with His Holy Spirit. Since this is a divine point, there is absolutely no way for their words to be true. What they do have is a form of zeal for God, but that is not a connection. It’s just a perception that the devil has convinced them to believe.
I call this realm--Spiritualism. Meaning:
A system of belief or religious practices based on supposed communications with the spirits of the dead, especially through mediums: The doctrine that the spirit exists as a distinct form of matter, or that spirit is the only reality.
Listen, following Christ Jesus is not a religion, nor is it a cult. People who have been changed are called Christians, and that is because we have been transformed through the salvation plan of the Father. Without this conversion there is no way to directly communicant with the Lord.
EXCEPT the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman worketh but in vain. {Psalm 127:1}
In other words, unless you are born again and filled with God's Holy Spirit, you will be governed by Satan, all the days of your life. Ok, it's like this. If you are not on the Lord's side, well then you have no protection from the enemy. Therefore, he can take over your mind and have you say and do whatever he desires. Meaning to say, if God has equipped you with safety tools then you are ready and protected. But if he is not the leader above your lifestyle, all your knowledge, education, and money are nothing but tools for the devil's use. In such a cove, you can never find the truth about your dilemma, unless the Lord chooses to show you some mercy. All you say and do is only in vain. Without God building or refurbishing you, you can’t help but be a vessel of confusion all the days of your life. But when people decide to get a god they want to serve, that’s what they will do. And that my friends is nothing more than an individual who has consciously chosen to directly reject God. Anyone who exhibits consistent action such as those are lost souls.
This know also, that is the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lust Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. {2 Timothy 3:1-7}
Lover of your own self leave no room to love anything else including God.
Covetous
Boasters
Proud
Blasphemers
Disobedient to parents
Unthankful
Unholy
Without natural affection
Trucebreakers
False accusers
Incontinent
Fierce
Despisers of those that are good
Traitors
Heady
High minded,
Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God
Listen, with all of this going on inside of you how can you then believe that you are in good standing with the Lord? The answer is, you only have a form of God, but you won't submit to His divine power. Again, this means you are a so-called spiritual person duped by your own illusions of being connected to God without the salvation plan laid out by the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ of God. However, such people have conjured up evil spirits who now lives inside of them. They convey messages through them, and some of their followers call themselves Spiritual people or mediums and so on. Those who follow them are blinded from the truth of God by way of rejection of his son. Again, this is a person with a form of godliness without any divine Holy Spirt as the divine backup.
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the wind blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. {Matthew 7:26-27}
How many times have you seen on TV celebrities declaring that they have been saved; however, their lifestyle does not match the new commission? Nevertheless, millions of people follow their every word and praise their name as being great. This is one form of worshiping a god that millions of individuals regard as a beacon of hope and joy. Then when such folk die, their worshipers boldly declare that they are with God in heaven, or they are with all the other celebrities in heaven. Once more, if you are not born again and walking in the word and power of the Lord, well then hell is where you will be, not heaven. The word of God is very clear on these matters, but the problem is that people won't even read their own Bible on a consistent basis. Another reason is that because they have now convinced themselves that they are a spiritual person with a connection to God! As you have just read, when you really hear from the Lord and then do not follow the directives you received, then you have become a foolish person who has chosen to build your beliefs on a false god, yet you connect the image of your god to that of the real God, and this is a lie from the devil, and only his kid's follow his will.
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. {1 Corinthians 15:33-34}
Once more, unless we are connected to the vine, which is Jesus the Christ of God's, our communication will be corrupted as long as we live according to the world’s rules and regulations. In other words, either you are following the word and will of God, or you are a captive of the devil. Listen, one action that comes along with salvation is the fact that all converted souls will begin acting like Christ; and if they do not live according to the requirement of the Bible, well then, it's clear who they really are. God is a spirit, and they that worship him must do so in spirit and in truth. Not being saved means you are not pleasing the real God.
If the words I speak to you shame you, this means you are not saved but you are acting as if you are; so shame on you for living a lie and disrespecting the true and Living God. Remember what you have read in the blog: men shall become boasters, lovers of pleasures, more than lovers of God. Again, such folk are self-willed souls led by Spiritualism and not by God's will.
I pray that these words have touched your heart to the point that you now really want to be saved from the hell that is awaiting all who are not saved. fooling oneself won't be a way out of the fire of hell. Jesus is the way the truth and the light. No connection to God equals death and the grave.
