Sin Unspeakable Darkness in the Church

The Bible speaks clearly, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In All thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths,” (Prov. 3:5).

Recognizing the truth about oneself paves the way for freedom. Every Christian has a fleshly body and God is specific about how He feels about the behavior of the flesh in such scriptures as: (Gal. 5:17; Rom. 8:7,8; and Jude 23), which says: “. . . hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”

Our own understanding is corrupt, selfish, self-centered and it doesn’t matter that we’ve been born again and Christ’s blood applied to our heart.

Our reasoning remains untrustworthy!
Our human understanding is suspicious, fearful.
Our understanding rises with anger, bitterness, fighting, abuse of family members, etc.
All impure thoughts, vile affections and desires which do not become overt actions are real acts of the inner man.

(Phil. 2:12), Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

David was a man of God who hated sin with everything in him.

“. . . . I hate every false way,” ( Psa. 119:104).
“Ye that love the Lord, hate evil . . . .” (Psa. 97:10).
Yet he committed adultery with Bathsheba and sent her husband to his death to battle!
Bathsheba “. . . mourned for her husband,” (2 Sam. 11:26).
David’s sin had “displeased the Lord,” (verse 27).
He seduced Bathsheba, planned her husband’s death, deceived her by acting as if he was doing the right thing (marrying her after he’d impregnated her).
Ten months after the affair, God sent Nathan the prophet to deal with David’s sin, (2 Sam. 12).

Sin is a tie that only Jesus can Break Through Deliverance

Frances Manuel gives us this useful summation: “We do have clear and plain teaching regarding the demons themselves. Demons in vast numbers constitute a part of Satan’s hierarchy and fight in his army. They are spiritual beings without bodies of their own, hence they seek embodiment; they have supernatural power and strength. They are not omniscient, but are creatures of cunning intellect and given to deceits and wiles. They are unclean, corrupt, and bent on destruction and ruin. They degrade the bodies they invade and possess, whether of animals or men. They tremble at the Word of God and have to bow to the authority of Jesus Christ whether exerted directly by Him or by those to whom. He delegated the authority.

“But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For it he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom, we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him,” (2 (Cor. 11: 3-4).

Preaching Jesus Christ Crucified

The Apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 1:23, to seek God. We preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, but Jews and Geeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.” Jesus came down to earth and lived among men. Jesus also suffered, was crucified and the He died on the Cross for us. You can find Him when seek for Him with all your heart. Many no longer preach about the cross of Jesus or the importance of His sacrifice. Jesus said, if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me. The problem we face today is, millions have been drawn away to receive another spirit other than the Spirit they had previously received (1 Cor. 11: 4). Paul reproved these Corinthian Christians for receiving another Spirit.

The Corinthians had cheerfully accepted a man that came preaching a different Jesus than the Jesus that Paul preached and had turned from the good news to a different message they had originally accepted. Paul asked in amazement, “Who had bewitched the believers to draw them away from the truth.” The consequence upon them was not just the influence of receiving wrong mental impressions conveyed by counterfeit and deceptive teachers, but transformations of their faith caused by evil spirits imposing false doctrines through false teachers, (Galatians 3:1). They had changed. They were religious, but had a new agenda. They had become the New Age People of their day, bewitched by the paranormal, magical words of a false prophet; changed into another kingdom. They once were saved but now they were lost.

1 John 4:4-6, — “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”

The Standing Remnant of Faithful Saints

Many Christians left their churches feeling something is wrong; brokenhearted, with great grief they left, disappearing into their homes clutching their Bibles and seeking Lord Jesus.

2 Thess 2:3-4, — “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”

Pastors have moved away from a biblical foundation as they seek to build mega churches and dream to become the next Joel Osteen of the world. America is the largest mission field in the world. While preachers are told that this generation is unlike any generation that ever lived before and therefore preachers need to change their approach to draw people into their churches and change their messages.
