Tearing it down

“Go ye, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all of Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, for our fathers have not hearkened unto (heeded) the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, the keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.

And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read: Because they have forsaken me, and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard; Because thy heart was tender; and thou humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation, and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes (in repentance), and wept before me: I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.

Behold therefore, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.

And the king sent, and gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and ALL the men of Judah and ALL the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priest, and the prophets, and ALL the people , both small and great : and HE READ IN ALL THEIR EARS ALL THE WORDS OF THE BOOK OF THE COVENANT which was found in the house of the Lord.

And the king stood by a pillar, and MADE A COVENANT BEFORE THE LORD, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statues with ALL THEIR HEART and ALL their SOUL, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book, And ALL the people stood to the covenant.” 2 Kings 22:13-30 & chapter 23:1-4

Heard something so disturbing the other day on the radio, seventy percent of Americans IDENTIFY (our new hot word) as Christians BUT only ten percent adhere to the “Christian” code of morality.

Meaning sixty percent of that seventy percent think it is okay to lie, cheat, steal, and have no reason to attend any church services. I really wish that surprised me but it doesn’t because our new “IT” word for the generation is IDENTIFY and we can be whatever we choose as long as we IDENTIFY as such and pledge allegiance to that identity grouping.

Scares me to death and God Bless and God help the pastors, or rather the REAL ones.

My mind always goes back  to a story, I think around a year ago about a “pastor” and his “family that had been voted one of America’s greatest “families”.

Yeah… this guy and his “wife”, who is also a guy, with some seriously beautiful long braids, which is exactly what the “pastor” said in the interview, that “he was just beautiful and he fell in love with him” to make matters worse (and yes, people can go from bad to better enjoy life on this earth cause it’s over in the next) they got “married” on a beach compete with taking communion, to partake of the Lord’ supper unworthy makes that person, or persons actually guilty of the blood of Jesus.

Mighty dangerous territory, attempting to “sanctify” an abomination by committing more ungodliness. Now they also adopted a child and had a thriving “church” while all the long God’s word speaks AGAINST all this.

We now know why sixty percent of the proclaimed “Christians” think they are perfectly fine just as they are. 

None of them want to hear the true word of God, the BITTER that MUST BE taken with the sweet.

The CURSING that come from disobedience when all they hear about is the blessing with ever being told the requirements of obedience that bring those blessings. The LOVE and never the wrath that love can bring.

Such as our story above, they had to quickly try to rectify a situation that they were not even aware of UNTIL the book was found, in our world “How can they hear without a preacher and how can they preach unless they are sent?”

And preached to ALL the people and ALL the ears and told, without apologies that NOTHING other than a FULL COMMITMENT to the Lord and being SAVED and COVERED BY THE BLOOD and doing what He said.

So they sought the Lord and once they were answered, they MADE SURE that EVERYONE also understood His word and repented and agreed to the covenant.

Then they set about TEARING DOWN the pagan altars: 2 Kings 23:4-8,10-15,19,20,24:

“And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order; and the keepers of the door, to bring forth OUT of the temple of the Lord ALL the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for the host of heaven (sun, etc. worship): And he BURNT them without (outside) Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them into Bethel.

And he put down (caused to cease) the idolatrous (pagan) PRIESTS, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places of the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; THEM ALSO that burnt incense UNTO BAAL, TO THE SUN, AND TO THE MOON, AND TO PLANETS, AND TO ALL THE HOST OF HEAVEN.

And he brought OUT the grove FROM the house of the Lord, without (outside) Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and BURNT it at the brook Kidron, and STAMPT it small as powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.

And he BRAKE DOWN the HOUSES OF THE SODOMITES, that WERE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, where the women wove hangings FOR the grove.

And he BROUGHT ALL the priests OUT of the cities of Judah, and DEFILED (destroyed) the high places WHERE THE PRIESTS HAD BURNT INCENSE, from Geba to Beer-Sheba, and BRAKE DOWN the high places of the gates that were in the entering of in of the gate of Joshua the Governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.

And he defiled (destroyed) Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, THAT NO MAN MIGHT MAKE HIS SON OR DAUGHTER TO PASS THROUGH THE FIRE TO MOLECH.

And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah HAD GIVEN THE SUN, at the entering of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain (eunuch) which was in the suburbs, and BURNT THE CHARIOTS OF THE SUN WITH FIRE.

And the ALTARS that were on top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah HAD MADE, and the ALTARS which Manasseh HAD MADE in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king BEAT DOWN, and BRAKE THEM from thence(there) and cast dust of them into the brook Kidron.

And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were at the right hand of the MOUNT OF CORRUPTION, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded FOR ASHTORETH, the ABOMINATION of the Moabites, and MILCOM the ABOMINATION of the children of Ammon, DID THE KING DEFILE (destroy).

And he BRAKE INTO PIECES the images (idols) and CUT DOWN the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men. And ALL the houses also of the high places that were in the city of Samaria, which the kings of Israel HAD MADE to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah TOOK AWAY, and did to them according to all the cats he had done in Bethel.

And he SLEW ALL THE PRIESTS of the high places that were upon the altars, and burnt men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.

Moreover (also) the WORKERS WITH FAMILIAR SPIRITS (physics, mediums, etc.) and the WIZARDS, and the IMAGES (teraphim, occult objects)  and the IDOLS, and ALL THE ABOMINATIONS that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah PUT AWAY, that HE MIGHT PERFORM THE WORDS OF THE LAW ACCORDING WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.” 

I do apologize for my bold/ not bold/ caps actions… but when writing it is a little harder to put emphasis on what I want to jump out and get your attention….. so did you notice that the priests, second priests, and door keepers, all those involved in the temple WERE who had the task of getting these abominations out of His house.

Why would that change now? It doesn’t, it is our job to root out and no longer continue to look over these behaviors, and TELL the world that it is NOT okay and that their behavior has nothing to do with OUR GOD, and as the prophet in 1 Kings 13, we must CRY against the pagan ALTARS that are trying to set up and call themselves “churches” notice also that these things were at the entry ways and set up by those in power and gladly accepted by the so-called priests of the day, much like this world.

And it is our job to tear them down. not through violence nor physical action, as was the case in that day. But in the spirit world through prayer and by the prayer of pulling down strong holds, and not condoning it and pretending it’s okay.

We can no longer continue to preach comfort (while it is good) and encouragement, one to another (which is good also) BUT it is PAST TIME, that God’s commandments, laws, and statues be truly preached, not just suggestion for living, but preached as He said it, as it is written.

And start preaching judgment, hell, and the afterlife.

And that THERE IS NO EXCEPTIONS TO HIS RULES ON SIN.

Sin is sin, He will forgive us, but we have to ask for forgiveness and to TEACH the definition as declared of God in his word, and proclaim the truth that sin is and it must be repented of and put away, left at the altar of forgiveness and to never be partaken of again.

That is the “putting on of the new man (person)” and becoming new in Christ.

But as long as there are those who contend for their fables of man-made salvation and have television shows and huge ministries that are allowed to pervert the Gospel, unopposed, as long as believers just sit mutely by, this is only going to get worse and it is either stand now or forget it. 

If anyone believes He is going to allow the perversion of His word and His “house” much longer, you might want to think again. At ten percent we are nearing the end.

But with only ten percent left we know it is bad, really bad and if you are ever, ever going to stand for anything let it be the Gospel of Christ. Because at this rate, our generation may well be the last one standing!

DEMONS, THE DEVIL, AND THE DECEIVED PART 2/ THE DEVIL

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and all ye that dwell in them, WOE UNTO THE INHABITERS OF THE EARTH AND OF THE SEA! FOR THE DEVIL IS COME DOWN UNTO YOU, HAVING GREAT WRATH, BECAUSE HE KNOWETH HE HATH BUT A SHORT TIME.” Revelation 12:12
The Devil, as some call him, old slew foot or his original name Lucifer.
Most today even deny his existence, he likes it that way, funny thing for someone who does not exist to have a translation of his name into every known language on earth.
To fight your enemy, you must understand your enemy.
So who is he really? He started out as God’ s right hand angel, one of the three majors, Michael the warrior, who fights alongside the Lord. Gabriel the messenger, and Lucifer the most beautiful of all God’s creations. He was the divine Praise and worship leader of the angelic host of heaven. He was a “covering cherubim” a protector.
He is a very real and powerful being in the universe and fortunately for us, what power he has is NO match for God who hold ALL power.
He wasn’t content with his star’s place in the heavens, filled with jealousy and desiring that his great beauty be worshipped above the Most high he chose to rebel.
 For a peek into his warped thinking, Isaiah 14: 13,14  “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of the God: I will set upon the great congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.”
Upon the loss of his heavenly position, his gift of praise now became perverted, bringing his music upon the earth, deplorable lyrics of sex, violence and often disrespect and outright bashing against God. Music so powerful that it becomes ingrained into your mind so that at any whim it may be placed on repeat, to be heard over and over inside your head, to drag you back to whatever state you were in when you first heard that particular tune and bringing all the emotional attachments from that period in life with it.
I have often wondered the number of the souls that were lost to hell during the disco craze of rampant sexual lyrics, flashing lights, one night stands and cocaine use.
His fall brought the perversion of his job as a covering, protecting, cherubim and now the innocenct would become his target. He is personally responsible for every abused elder, every tortured animal and every raped and sadistically tormented child.
The saints will judge the fallen angels and I for one will rejoice when he is banished to the only place that he can be held.
I think Toby Mac had the right idea with the song, “Hey, Devil” the only way to deal with him is to hide under the wings of God and when he tries to send traps and temptations, tell him you don’t need his junk, to get it on down the road.
He is pure evil and so underestimated, I agree with the Amish, if at all possible, do not even say his name, don’t encourage him in any way, “never give him place” and “resist the devil and he will flee from you” is what the Bible teaches us about dealing with him. DON’T DEAL WITH HIM!
But never underestimate him and never fall for the trap that he is not real.
Remember he is not like God nor will he ever be. Jesus has all power in heaven and earth and is the only being who is omnipresent, only He can be in all places at all times.
The problem for many believers is that they don’t want to hear the word “demons” and most certainly not the word “devil” but if you are to see people freed, you can not fear him, fear only God.
I am not suggesting that you run out and take on the devil, (I have seen people who do want this but to me it “rushing in where wise men fear to tread”) But if the Lord is prompting you, never be afraid to pray down his strong holds, the power of the Holy Ghost can drive anything out of bodies or homes, but it has to be his spirit prompting and leading the prayer.
Here is HIS END, here are the words HE FEARS, this is HIS DEMISE.
Isaiah 14:9-12 “Hell from beneath is moved (excited about) for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak unto thee, Art thou become as weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols (his music) with thee; THE WORM (MAGGOTS) IS SPREAD UNDER THEE, AND THE WORMS COVER THEE.”
HOW ART THOU FALLEN FROM HEAVEN, O LUCIFER, SON OF THE MORNING! HOW ART THOU CUT DOWN TO THE GROUND, WHICH DID WEAKEN THE NATIONS!
He will have no kingdom, he and his followers will be cast into the same hell, he will not be their leader, as stated above, he will be just as they.
Our God who holds all power in heaven and earth, the keys to death and hell, and will forever reign, he and he allow will reign supreme.

Demons, Devil, & Deceived #1 FALLEN      Demons, Devil, & Deceived #3 HELL

DEMONS, THE DEVIL AND THE DECEIVED/ PART 1 FALLEN

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, WHICH DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD: he was cast out INTO THE EARTH, AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM.” Revelation 12:7-9
Demons, the fallen angels, whom so many in this world are so much more than thrilled to run after,entire cult religions exist to give them praise.
Hollywood can’t produce movies fast enough to glorify them, and deceived people flock to watch, never realizing what is behind that door they open.
They are real. As real as we are, actually more so. They are eternal and have no internal conflicts as to who they are.
They are evil in its purest or should I say most impure form .
They have one agenda and one agenda only, to do the work of their master.
They have interacted with humans since they were kicked out of heaven. “There were giants (fallen ones) in the earth in those days; and ALSO AFTER THAT, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and THEY BARE CHILDREN TO THEM , the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” Genesis 6:4
This is a disturbing description of just how far Satan went to sow in his perverse seed. As Jesus told us the parable of the wheat and the tares that are allowed to grow together until separation during the great harvest.
These are the ancestors of Goliath and the giants, bearing a genetic oddity, (that I will not get into at the moment) being one of the markings of this people and the most prominent proof of their lineage being their immense cruelty.
The one who profess Satan also have what the consider sacred days, which falls dead on all hallows eve better known as Halloween. It’s roots go back to the sixteenth century,but we know how far it really goes, don’t we?
Rooted in all demonic superstitions and appeasement of demonic beings, right down to the god ol’ carved pumpkin, and if you knew what that involved you would want no part of it.
Bear all this in mind, physics, (THOSE WHO ARE POSSESSED WITH A SPIRIT OF DIVINATION, ( Acts 16: 16) notice that they are not “gifted”, THEY ARE POSSESSED BY A DEMONIC SPIRIT! So many think they can confess Christ and yet fool with this junk!
Horoscopes, card reading, palm reading, all the movies and all the music it is NOT entertainment!
Humans will follow blindly after anything they think will give them some sort of special knowledge. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOOD WITCHCRAFT OR WHITE MAGIC! IT IS ALL EVIL AND ONES THAT KEEP MESSING WITH WILL FIND THAT OUT WHEN ONE DAY THEY LIFT UP THEIR EYES IN HELL!
It is all demonic and all the” secrets” they reveal to people about their late loved ones is demonic and lies.
The Bible never says these things are not real, but  that they come from Satan, and if you really believe you are dealing with anyone other than him YOU ARE DELUSIONAL AND HE KNOWS HE IS GOING TO HELL AND WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO TAKE YOU WITH HIM! Anyone that what’s to pretend that they are a minister of God and tell others these things are okay to do, I will tell you and be glad to tell them to their face they are an absolute liar, and the truth is not in them. Jesus said, they do the work of their Father the devil, and you now have been warned to not partake of the things.
“And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto him that hath familiar spirits (physic’s) and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: IF THEY SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM.” Isaiah 9:19-20
What he is saying here is simple, just because the world says it’s acceptable that does not mean we should. God wants us to seek him for our answers, not the dead. The are just that, they are dead and demons are responsible for any communication that is uttered on their behalf.
You are seeking advice and guidance from the very ones who are responsible for all murders, school shootings, lying, cheating, rampant sexual culture, all forms of abuse, self-destruction,and self-mutilation (cutting) can be traced back to the man referred to as Legion, who had been possessed by thousands of demons (Mark 5:5) They are responsible for it all!
We should never associate with or encourage any interaction with them, only Jesus and Jesus alone can defeat them. It is truly horrifying that groups of people go about supposedly ridding others homes of them, you can almost hear the devil laughing at just how deceived he has them.
The book of Acts tells us about a group of guys, who decided that since the disciples were casting out demons that to make a good show they would do it too. Bad idea getting ready to get a little worse. Acts 19:13,15,16 “Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists TOOK UPON them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus
whom Paul preacheth. And the EVIL SPIRIT ANSWERED AND SAID, JESUS I KNOW, PAUL I KNOW; BUT WHO ARE YE?
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, AND PREVAILED against them, SO THAT THE FLED OUT OF THAT HOUSE NAKED AND WOUNDED.”
You cannot pray the name of whom you do not know. And even when we do know him, then it is nothing of us, it is the power of the Holy Ghost that removes them.
They were “Torn up from the floor up”. The late Pastor Wayne Scott pointed out years ago, while preaching for believers not to fear them, the good news in this story is that it did not possess them, so demons can’t just stop by and take over your soul. They have to have an entrance.
Certain people I believe have an ancestral background that promotes having problems with them, but the majority of it comes from opening doors, such as watching horror movies and dabbling in things that should be left alone, and even the influence of the wrong friends and relationships.
Be careful what you have in your home, keep only items that honor God, be careful of items that were owned by unpleasant people or you have no idea of their origin. Some would scoff at this but stolen accursed items caused trouble for all Israel until they were discovered and the camp was cleansed of them and the person responsible for bringing them in. The items had been forbidden by the Lord because they had belonged to pagans and when Achan stole them, they now became doubly cursed through the attachment of the sin of theft. (Joshua 7)
Translation, no matter how much you loved your late, great-uncle keeping his favorite goat headed, triple six tee-shirt as a keepsake is really not going to add to the spiritual harmony of your of your home.
Think of it this way, would you really want Charles Manson’s prized possession blue jeans hanging the back of your closet?
Spiritually it does matter, when believers prayer over prayer cloths, the faith, love goodness of God’s anointing is transferred into that tiny little piece of fabric, you do not want the opposite of that anywhere near you!
Please remember, there are very few ministers even gifted in the area of dealing with the demonic and once those doors are open the outcome will truly be horrific. Refrain from the acknowledgement of the occult or any of its practices, no matter how insignificant it may seem.
In the spirit world, nothing is minor. It all has power, and that power either belongs to God or to Satan. There is no middle ground and humans are powerless against either.
We are protected only by the indwelling of the Holy spirit and his shield over us. Which does not guarantee immunity but they can never overtake us.
So “give no place to the devil” and the best news of all, “thou believest in one God; Thou doest well: THE DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE, AND TREMBLE” James 2:19
