The Deception In The Christian Church
The purpose of this letter is to warn all Christians, of the dangers that are
Infiltrating the Christian Church, so much so’’ that even, the very elect would be deceived. Matthew 24:24 { "For false Christ’s and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the very elect.} Strangely enough, most of today’s Christian leaders who rightly cry so mightily against so many evils are saying little if anything about the revival of sorcery that is sweeping both the secular world and the church, from yoga, music, hypnosis, parapsychology, meditation, and positive thinking. As I read the Bible and study the life of the Prophets of old and the life of all the apostles and Jesus, I have never heard from them that you can think yourself into prosperity. So were is this coming from, and it is all over the churches. The New age has crept in among us in a big way; some leaders think they see into ones future, they are practicing the same ways as psychics and soothsayers. They the deceived pastor’s preachers and so on, even think they can heal long distance, and they say I see somebody with this kind of sickness as if they were God Himself, as if they have His power to see from a distance. Please brothers and sisters do not run after this so called Godly people, because this is not in your bible. Fallow Jesus example and Paul’s, these are the true teachings you should practice. There are some falling Christians that all they seek is Power, and not to be holy, and so they put together what is called altered states of consciousness to learning, healing and development? The secular world calls it “mind power” Many Christians confuse for “faith.” Likewise, the impersonal “Force” that occultists also refer to as Universal Mind or Nature is naively accepted by large numbers of both Christians and non-Christians as just another way of referring to God, when in fact it is a substitute for Him namely Jesus Christ. {Positive Mental Attitude} motivational and success seminars. The ability to exert “mind over matter” is no longer considered to be something weird or occult, but is now thought to be part of a natural, normal, yet infinite human potential that can be experienced by anyone who follows certain alleged “laws of success.” These New Age techniques are not new at all, however, but are the same old sorcery. Success is the name of the game today, not only out there in the world, but inside the church as well. Humility is out and self-esteem is in, even though we are urged in Scripture, “Let each esteem others better than themselves” {Philippians 2:3 {don’t be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself.} Now, however, we are being told that our problem is not that we think too highly of ourselves, but too lowly, that we all have a bad self-image, and that our greatest need is to build up our self-esteem. Though Peter wrote, in 1 Peter 5:6 {so humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in his good time he will honor you.} we are being urged to “visualize” ourselves into success. Paul’s inspired declaration the Christ “emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant… {And} humbled Himself by becoming obedient to … death on a cross”
{Philippians 2:7-8} is now explained by Robert Schuller, in the context of today’s success-oriented world, to mean: Jesus knew his worth; his success fed his self-esteem… He suffered the cross to sanctify your self-esteem. And the cross will sanctify the ego trip that you long for. Listen to what Jesus says in John 10:1-5{"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. "Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.’’} By these words we shall live, why you fallow the teachings of man and not of God! Were did God told us to lean on positive thinking and not on Him? And why do you call him Lord yet not obey what he has asked of you. And yes Satan will attack you but God said in 1 Corinthians10:13{No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.}You might have believed the teachings these preachers have taught you, but now your eyes are open to the deception that is in the church today. 2 Peter 2:10-15{and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption, and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, beguiling unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children. They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; Yes I believe in miracles, and in all the Spiritual Gifs, including speaking in tongues, but not all I hear is true, it is just gibberish, self acceptance, and they want to fit in a church that tells them that if you don’t speak in tongues you don’t have the Holy Ghost. That person feels so left out that he or she will utter anything that comes to mind, so they will be accepted by their Pastor to be more spiritual, with time they become proud and think highly of themselves and very low of the person who never spoke in tongues. Let us see from the scripture point of view. Acts 2:4-12 {And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, "Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?”And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? "Parthian and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, "Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, "Cretans and Arabs we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.'' So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "what can this mean?''} As we see here they spoke in a known tongue, for everybody understood it in their own language. So yes I believe if God wants you to speak a Language he can do that today. And in 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 tells us that tongs are real, but one must be very careful not to speak unless God, has given you this gift. I believe my gift from God is exhortation. I love to tell the truth and to see results from doing so. I Love to see a baby in Christ grow to maturity. I love to let you know what is beneficial to all of you who listen to the word of Yeshua. So as I was saying do not fallow the ways of the heathen. Pay attention to the word of God. Preachers that are talking about you must give and pay your 10 percent it is in the word of God to do so. (God says, when you give you must do it cheerfully) In the L.V.B. 2 Corinthians 9:5-9{ So I have asked these other brothers to arrive ahead of me to see that the gift you promised is on hand and waiting. I want it to be a real gift and not look as if it were being given under pressure. But remember this--if you give little, you will get little. A farmer who plants just a few seeds will get only a small crop, but if he plants much, he will reap much. Everyone must make up his own mind as to how much he should give. Don't force anyone to give more than he really wants to, for cheerful givers are the ones God prizes. God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more, so that there will not only be enough for your own needs, but plenty left over to give joyfully to others. It is as the Scriptures say: ``the godly man gives generously to the poor. His good deeds will be an honor to him forever.'' So yes you must give but we are not force to do it. About women preachers the Bible is very clear on this, 1Timothy 2:11-12{during instruction, a woman should be quiet and respectful. I give no permission for a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. A woman ought to be quiet, because Adam was formed first and Eve afterwards, and it was not Adam who was led astray but the woman who was led astray and fell into sin.} So there it is a woman can teach other women but not be a Pastor over a man. I have seen the deception of Paula white who has invited Donald Trump to her television show to lure people into making money. May the Lord have mercy on her greed? Joyce Meyer the New age Preacher, with Positive thinking, she is another Joel Osteen their church grows only because they Preach smooth and deceptive words. 2 Timothy 4:2-5 { to preach the Word of God urgently at all times, whenever you get the chance, in season and out, when it is convenient and when it is not. Correct and rebuke your people when they need it, encourage them to do right, and all the time be feeding them patiently with God's Word. For there is going to come a time when people won't listen to the truth, but will go around looking for teachers who will tell them just what they want to hear. They won't listen to what the Bible says but will blithely follow their own misguided ideas. Stand steady, and don't be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Bring others to Christ. Leave nothing undone that you ought to do.} Pat Robertson from the 700 club thinks we can have kingdom now, even though there is no Jesus to rule us physically. He must be reading the new age bible. The New Age has almost replaced Biblical teaching throughout Christendom, so much so that the majority of church-goers do not know New Age from sound doctrine! These ghastly perversions of the antichrist mega-church of the Latter Days include meditation, visualization, psychology methods, group dynamics, healing of the memories, positive confession and affirmation, self-love - and many, many more New Age ideas and teachings. We are encountering the doctrines of devils which are bringing about the One World Church of the New World Order. One of the New Age horror heresies which is gripping the lives of millions of church-goers is Kingdom Now or Dominion Theology. This unscriptural theory is from the very pit of hell - BE WARNED, Christian! It is basically the belief that Christians are to go forth and conquer, to set up a victorious Christian political, spiritual World Empire BEFORE Jesus Christ returns. This idea is humanistic, appeals to the selfish pride in the carnal minded. Jesus Christ ALONE will set up His Kingdom. The Bible tells us that if Christ did not return, the entire world would perish in the period the Bible calls the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24). 1. Do the scriptures teach that the Christians have been promised GLOBAL VICTORY on a grand scale, in this present age before Christ's Second Coming? THE BIBLICAL ANSWER? NO! Does the Bible teach that the people of God will take over communities, political systems, international banking, armaments, all social structures and so on. Are there instructions by God to do so in this age? THE BIBLICAL ANSWER? NO! Are God's people promised the POWER to take the world - with a POLITICAL and SPIRITUAL POWER which will destroy the armies of Satan on this earth, in the days before Christ returns? THE BIBLICAL ANSWER? NO! Do Christians virtually have a divinely ordained duty to defeat Satan's forces in history, in order to prove that CHRIST IS NOT A LOSER IN HISTORY? THE BIBLICAL ANSWER? NO! As to who is going to bring the kingdom to earth well not the Pat Robertson’s or us But YESHUA himself L.V.B Isaiah 63:1-6{ Who is this who comes from Edom, from the city of Bozrah, with his magnificent garments of crimson? Who is this in royal robes, marching in the greatness of his strength? ``It is I, the Lord, announcing your salvation; I, the Lord, the one who is mighty to save!'' ``Why are your clothes so red, as from treading out the grapes?'' ``I have trodden the winepress alone. No one was there to help me. In my wrath I have trodden my enemies like grapes. In my fury I trampled my foes. It is their blood you see upon my clothes. For the time has come for me to avenge my people, to redeem them from the hands of their oppressors. I looked but no one came to help them; I was amazed and appalled. So I executed vengeance alone; unaided, I meted out judgment. I crushed the heathen nations in my anger and made them stagger and fall to the ground.''} Do you believe Jesus or man I believe Jesus As a matter of fact in Revelation the Bible tells us that the Antichrist will overcome the Christians and that we will be beheaded until Yeshua-Jesus comes to rescue all believers that are going through the great tribulation.
