Brethren of the steemchurch I bring you greetings from the throne of Grace this afternoon and i hope it was a wonderful service and consequently transcending into a very good day. However, we should not be ignorant of the devices of the evil one, Hence, the need to earnestly battle for your soul.
1Jn 4:1-6
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2: Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3:And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4: 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 greatest battle that has ever been fought and still been fought is the in the heart of man. The battle is being fought by God on one side and the devil on the opposite side. Whoever wins this battle ultimately wins control over the SOUL of the individual over whom the battle is being fought. The devil has been interested in the soul of men ever since God created Us and his plan has always been to destroy as many of Us as possible. Our Lord Christ revealed the devil's plan to us and offers Us God's solution as written ;
Jn 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly
Through ages, the devil has succeeded in taking over the lives of so many people and for this reason in;
Matthew 7:13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Inspite of all the devil may try, guys, my prayer for you is that I will see you in Heaven. Quite unfortunate and painful however is the fact that in the world today, there is so much wickedness and confusion everywhere, Care-lessness to the things of God and sin has become so common place that it is very strange and rare to see someobe who is pure and refuses to be a part of the evil of the day.
NOTE: Dont forget Matt 24:3-31 corroborates these as some of the signs.
In order to further achieve his aims, the devil employed false prophets into his service. They go around disseminating false doctrine whuch are even more dangerous to christians, because they can maje a person think that he or she is saved and safe while they are actually on their way to hell. One of the reasons these false prophets are successful is that they keep telling people what thet want to hear and not what the bible says
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Anything outside the word of God doesnt mean for the best interest of any dying soul at heart...
2 Peter 1:20-21 KJV
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. [21] For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The word of God is absolute and must be preached in its pure form. The best way to guard your heart and soul in thi perilous times is to fill it constantly and on daily basis with God word as much as possible.
Once you have christ (born again) and sanctified by God, it is important to ask God for the baptism of the holy spirit so that Jesus himself can fill your life to overflow with his spirit and mark you for himself to the saving of your SOUL.
Dont forget the bible says the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
