THE ENEMY WITHIN AND WITHOUT
I have given My church the gifts of the Spirit to detect the activities of the enemy from with out. As long as these gifts are exercised regularly and not misused or neglected they will keep My church strong and growing. The western church for the most part has neglected or misused the gifts. They many time act foolishly, prophesying nice little complements of how I feel about someone, when I have not spoken a word.
Not knowing demons from flesh, they attempt to cast out flesh, when it only has to be mortified by a disciplined lifestyle. They pray for healing, when a spirit of infirmity has to be cast out. They pretend to give words of knowledge after they have previously investigated the situation, and already know naturally. They say they have a word of wisdom, when it's just common sense.
As a result of this foolishness many others have chosen to neglect the gifts all together. These have the knowledge of salvation, but deny the power behind it. Thus they are powerless to stop the deadly blows of the enemy. As a result the enemy has infiltrated the church to the point that a reprobate shepherd can marry two reprobates of the same sex, and call it Holy. What I destroyed by fire once, I will destroy again. I am the same God that destroyed Sodom and Gamorah, I have not changed. All those who tolerate this activity will suffer the same fate.
In My last day church, there can not be this gross misuse and disregard of My Spiritual gifts. I have also set godly women among you as helpmates, with a keen sense of approaching trouble. This sense is not based in fear, but in that of a Godly motherly protection. She need not know why or how, but she is able to pick out the enemy, before he is in striking distance. She is a mans radar, do not neglect her warnings or mis-use this gift, it will save your life and avoid pitfalls that delay My plan.
There are those that have infiltrated the worldly church and have been in strong position for years, in which case they may have damaged the local body beyond repair. Refusing to deny reprobates, openly condoning sin and every evil work, I have written Ichabod over their door posts. This is not My church, Antichrist heads this church and you are to leave, if you desire not to be burned, figuratively or literally, get out now.
My church is a glorious church without spot or wrinkle, a triumphant church that remains the head and not the tail until the end of time. Become that church and I will welcome you into the My kingdom.
1 Corinthians 12:1-31 (AMP)
NOW ABOUT the spiritual gifts (the special endowments of supernatural energy), brethren, I do not want you to be misinformed. [2] You know that when you were heathen, you were led off after idols that could not speak habitually as impulse directed and whenever the occasion might arise. [3] Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit of God can ever say, Jesus be cursed! And no one can really say, Jesus is my Lord, except by and under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit. [4] Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the Holy Spirit remains the same. [5] And there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord Who is served. [6] And there are distinctive varieties of operation of working to accomplish things, but it is the same God Who inspires and energizes them all in all. [7] But to each one is given the manifestation of the Holy Spirit the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit for good and profit. [8] To one is given in and through the Holy Spirit the power to speak a message of wisdom, and to another the power to express a word of knowledge and understanding according to the same Holy Spirit; [9] To another wonder-working faith by the same Holy Spirit, to another the extraordinary powers of healing by the one Spirit; [10] To another the working of miracles, to another prophetic insight (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose); to another the ability to discern and distinguish between the utterances of true spirits and false ones, to another various kinds of unknown tongues, to another the ability to interpret such tongues. [11] All these gifts, achievements, abilities are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same Holy Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually exactly as He chooses. [12] For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form only one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). [13] For by means of the personal agency of one Holy Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized and by baptism united together into one body, and all made to drink of one Holy Spirit. [14] For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many. [15] If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not a part of the body? [16] If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not a part of the body? [17] If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? [18] But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each particular one of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. [19] But if the whole were all a single organ, where would the body be? [20] And now there are certainly many limbs and organs, but a single body. [21] And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. [22] But instead, there is absolute necessity for the parts of the body that are considered the more weak. [23] And those parts of the body which we consider rather ignoble are the very parts which we invest with additional honor, and our unseemly parts and those unsuitable for exposure are treated with seemliness (modesty and decorum), [24] Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack apparent importance, [25] So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation of the parts of the body to each other, but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another. [26] And if one member suffers, all the parts share the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members share in the enjoyment of it. [27] Now you collectively are Christ''s body and individually you are members of it, each part severally and distinct each with his own place and function. [28] So God has appointed some in the church for His own use: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; speakers in different (unknown) tongues. [29] Are all apostles (special messengers)? Are all prophets (inspired interpreters of the will and purposes of God)? Are all teachers? Do all have the power of performing miracles? [30] Do all possess extraordinary powers of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? [31] But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way one that is better by far and the highest of them all--love.
Romans 1:18-32 (AMP)
For God''s holy wrath and indignation are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative. [19] For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness, because God Himself has shown it to them. [20] For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So men are without excuse altogether without any defense or justification, [21] Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations and their senseless minds were darkened. [22] Claiming to be wise, they became fools professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves. [23] And by them the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God were exchanged for and represented by images, resembling mortal man and birds and beasts and reptiles. [24] Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their own hearts to sexual impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves abandoning them to the degrading power of sin, [25] Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it). [26] For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one, [27] And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another--men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was their fitting retribution. [28] And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or consider Him worth the knowing, God gave them over to a base and condemned mind to do things not proper or decent but loathsome, [29] Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. They were full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. They were secret backbiters and gossipers, [30] Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, and boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. [31] They were without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless and merciless. [32] Though they are fully aware of God''s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them.
Matthew 11:20-24 (AMP)
Then He began to censure and reproach the cities in which most of His mighty works had been performed, because they did not repent and their hearts were not changed. [21] Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes and their hearts would have been changed. [22] I tell you further, it shall be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. [23] And you, Capernaum, are you to be lifted up to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades the region of the dead! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued until today. [24] But I tell you, it shall be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.
Ephesians 5:27 (AMP)
That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things that she might be holy and faultless.
Proverbs 31:10-12,25-31 (AMP)
A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman--who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls. [11] The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her securely, so that he has no lack of honest gain or need of dishonest spoil. [12] She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her. [25] Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; she rejoices over the future the latter day or time to come, knowing that she and her family are in readiness for it! [26] She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness giving counsel and instruction. [27] She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) she will not eat. [28] Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied); and her husband boasts of and praises her, saying, [29] Many daughters have done virtuously, nobly, and well with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness, but you excel them all. [30] Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain because it is not lasting, but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised! [31] Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates of the city!
