RELIGIOUS ADDICTION, THE SPIRITUAL KILLER

RELIGIOUS ADDICTION, THE SPIRITUAL KILLER

The cure for this addiction is extremely slow and painful in most cases. The addicting ingredient is false doctrine. This addiction is easily identifiable and usually ends in early death. Some hard core addicts will spiritually slaughter hundreds and even thousands of unwilling to convert, souls. Addiction starts soon after joining a clique, commonly known as a denomination, a place where one receives heavy doses of indoctrination. In a short period of time, every believer outside of the clique appears to be in error.

All who do not agree with their doctrine are treated as unbelievers and eventually considered the enemy. There are "six things that I hate: and, the seventh is an abomination to Me: [17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, [18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, [19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren." Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) Addiction to doctrine has fostered all all of them at one time or another.

The worlds meanest and coldest people are those who are addicted to a doctrine. When I refer to doctrine I am not referring to My word, but man's interpretation of My word. Whenever human intellect interprets My word a false doctrine is in embryo stage, because "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned (revealed through relationship)." 1 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV) My Spirit is the only one equipped to interpret My word because "all scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)

My Spirit will only speak out of a relationship.
You have probably read that ... "the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." 2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) The letter can only kill when relationship is missing. Your relationship with Me will not let you stray from My love, but when love is removed from doctrine it becomes a letter turned killer. Your time alone with Me is so very important, not just for you to feel good or get to heaven, but it keeps you from becoming spiritual killer. Never sit under a teacher or preacher that does not walk in unconditional love, because they are incapable of avoiding false doctrine. They will invariably be forced to use their intellect to teach with and you will be indoctrinated by "deluding and seducing spirits and doctrines that demons teach," 1 Timothy 4:1 (AMP)

You will know an evil spirit is teaching the moment and attitude of spiritual superiority appears, with the suggestion that everyone is ignorant except those that agree with their doctrine. Even if the doctrine is accurate and the teacher knows Greek and Hebrew and ... "possesses all knowledge, but does not have unconditional love, he is nothing (a useless nobody). 1 Corinthians 13:2 (AMP) Do yourself a favor and excuse yourself from his class.

I am never pleased when there is a church building on every corner in town, it's not a sign that the town is spiritual, but a religious town filled with many different doctrines. In most cases the buildings have been built, each on a different false doctrine. All doctrine without love is a false doctrine, because love is the penetrating power of spiritual life. Remember You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour (penetrating power), wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." Matthew 5:13 (KJV)

Now this may surprise you, but even a false doctrine in the presence of agape love will correct itself because of relationship. The teacher may not have his doctrine 100 % accurate but if he has a real relationship with Me, the doctrine will supernaturally become accurate, because he is willing to lay it aside for the kingdom sake. The teacher that has a relationship with me will teach his students "above all things to have intense and unfailing love for one another, because (He knows) love covers a multitude of sins forgives and disregards the offenses of others." 1 Peter 4:8 (AMP)

Do not fear that people will lose direction and not know what they believe, because love bears all things, believes (the best in) all things, hopes all things, endures (out lasts) all things. [8](but in the end) love never fails: if there be prophecies, they shall fail; if there be tongues, they shall cease; if there be knowledge, it shall vanish away."1 Corinthians 13:7-8 (KJV)

If you maintain a close personal walk with Me you will be filled with My unconditional love and I will "See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men''s ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding the teachings of Christ (the Messiah)." Colossians 2:8 (AMP)

Always remember; "I have other sheep beside (you) that are not of this fold. I must bring and impel them also; and they will listen to My voice and heed My call, and so there will be they will become one flock under one Shepherd." John 10:16 (AMP) So just stay close to Me and My love will keep you in My purpose.
