Internet Church-Family Spiritual Dedication

Play

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the perils facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. This method has been used by this ministry many times, and has seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for spiritual renewal. He will immediately forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you should begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

Internet Church-Can Christians Believe Deceptions

Play

God is not going to control a Christian’s will after salvation. Moreover if this were possible we would be able to live in Jesus’ perfection in this body. Jesus is our defense and He expects the commitment of the Christian’s life to Him and His Word. In addition, The Word of God is your authority and the confession of His Word is our victory. The Word of God says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil , and he will flee from you,” (James 4:7). We are turning our eyes upon Jesus and then resist the Devil and He will flee because Jesus is the Commander of our army.

God created man in the beginning to willingly fellowship with Him. Moreover, we are not a bunch of puppets or dolls but individuals that have a free will. Our will is the Godly dimension that the Lord gave us. The Father will never step over your “Will gate" .The believer willingly makes the decision everyday whether or not serve Jesus. Many fail to make this decision, therefore, live in much confusion. When a Christian strays away from serving God, they become self serving and are attacked in the body and mind by the Devil.

Satan is a Defeated Foe

The Bible makes it clear that Satan and his hosts are a defeated army-legally defeated. When Christ died and rose again, He sealed His victory over the enemy.

  • He “led captivity captive,” (Ephesians 4:8).

Though the sentence was passed on Satan at the cross of Christ and at the empty tomb, it has not yet been executed. However this event will be, as the prophetic Scriptures make abundantly evident.

  • (Revelation 12:10): “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.”

What does the Bible say?

The Bible states that the dark angels are part of an organized army with ranked groupings under the ultimate command of Satan, the chief of the fallen spirits. The Bible makes it clear that the foul spirits are the deadly adversaries of mankind: that they seek to be worshipped and they can and do possess people.

  • Demons desire to possess bodies and if they can’t control/possess a human body, they will possess an animal.
  • Evil spirits can prophesy, though not with complete accuracy, and often (because their commander is a liar and the “father of lies”) they are deliberately misleading
  • Most significantly, in the light of our investigation, the counter-kingdom is predicted in the scripture to become increasingly active in the closing days of human history.

Schizophrenia or Double Minded

Jesus-carry-you

“I hate double-minded men, but I love your law,”(Ps. 119:113). “But if he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways,” (James 1: 6-8).

Schizophrenia is a spiritual problem:

  1. Psychologist see it as a mental disorder.
  2. Manifests itself by a person acting out two or more personalities.
  3. Scriptures says, “That person is unstable in all his ways.”

Author William Menzies Alexander gives the following characteristic of demon possession; automatic representation and persistent and consistent acting out a “New Personality” and evidence of a knowledge and intellectual power neither possessed by the subject nor explicable on the pathological hypothesis; change of personality, involving complete change of moral character. These are but the misapprehensions of an uninstructed mind and may be briefly dismissed.

The passage from sanity to insanity implies a change of personality:

  1. The change follows a recognized pathological order.
  2. There is sometimes a morbid exaltation of certain faculties; but never any real augmentation of intellectual power.
  3. The dictum of esquirol has in view the fact that moral deterioration is an integral part of the morbid process.
