Hi -
Scriptures are from the King James Holy Bible.
For those who don't believe in devils, they are real. The Holy Bible content proves it . . .
Some people are familiar with witchcraft devils . . . but not many folks
are aware that there are religious devils. There's pure religion and then there's impure religion. Remember that religious folks, priests/elders crucified Jesus.
I believe that I HAD
religious devil INFLUENCE . . . Yes, I believed that I was sincere in the
Lord but discovered that I was SINCERELY WRONG about much . . .
Truly, I need to learn a bunch more. Don't we all?
###
The following are some signs that people have religious devils or religious devil INFLUENCE:
- Interpret Holy Bible content out of context. For more on that, helpful links can be found here http://www.missioneagles.blogspot.com/2014/03/can-holy-bible-content-be-idol.html
- Claiming to FREQUENTLY hear the audible voice of GOD when, in truth, they're NOT hearing
the audible voice of GOD. (Note: Yes, GOD does speak audibly, but people need to
wisely examine and truly learn . . . the audible voice of GOD from the audible voice of the
devil).
Remember that some folks who've murdered . . . have claimed that the voice of GOD told them to kill. Beware of depending on audible voices; it can certainly prove harmful and potentially dangerous.
- Folks who are consistently mean-spirited, prone to unrighteous judging, and whose signature styles are self-righteous dispositions.
- Neglecting family responsibilities for "ministry."
- Unwisely quitting full-time jobs to do "full time ministry."
- Unreasonably giving money to the cause "of the Lord."
- Allowing excessive and long-term abuse "for the Lord". The Lord is long-suffering, but His long-suffering does have expiration dates -- dates that only He fully knows . . . We need to steadfastly abide in GOD to
learn/know . . .
- Folks who, typically, don't hold conversations unless they're
peppering their expressions with, "Praise the Lord" or similar -- in excess or quoting scriptures in excess, and out of order/out of context.
- Scriptures quoted on answering machines/voice mail.
- Body jerking believing it's the Holy Ghost.
- Folks doing so-called "holy" dancing. I watched a video clip where a
man dressed in a suit was so-called holy dancing. During church
service, NOT baptismal service, he jumped fully clothed in the baptismal
pool, came out wet and dancing some more. I don't believe that that
was holy dancing but rather -- devil or flesh motivated dancing.
When King David danced before the Lord -- 2 Samuel 6:14 - KJV -- I do believe that that was holy dancing.
- Folks hooping when talking/preaching.
- People all out in public, out of order, raising hands, LOUDLY singing gospel
songs, LOUDLY praising the Lord -- and other "over the top" conduct.
- Dressing dry and homely "for the Lord."
I didn't indulge in ALL of the above . . . There's probably more that I
haven't expressed here. Those are just some examples that I thought of
readily.
Note: Doing a few of the above . . . may NOT be cause for concern, NECESSARILY, but beware . . . of "over the top" exhibitions.
NOW for SPIRITUAL living:
Jesus says in John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: . . .
2 Timothy 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his, And let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Romans 8:6 teaches that to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Christ dwelling people have love as a signature style. And the fruits of the spirit -- Galatians 5 -- are steadfastly manifested in such lives. Those who worship GOD in spirit and in truth flow with GOD, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We abide in the Lord. We aim to keep on the armour of righteousness walking in the Light of world, King Jesus. We sow to the spirit and aim NOT to yield to the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes and the pride of life.
Living with the Word of Life, Jesus, is the best choice. Peace multiplied. Ah! Ain't nothing like walking in
truth -- for GOD says in 3 John 4, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."
Jubilant and grateful praises to the Most High GOD!
