There are so many ‘things’ being hurled at Christian people, all in the name of Religion, that it will take truly being in the Spirit of God, to not be led astray. So many things are designed to bring you into fear, uneasiness, fretfulness, doubt, unbelief, long dark halls of past devil worship rituals, just any thing except to have peace in your soul.
So, I want to bring you a message of peace; a message of love, a message of the only source of real joy, peace, and love.
Malachi 3:16-18---Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
v17---And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
v18--Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Now this speaks of those who talk of Jesus, that think of him, that speak often of the things of God, He said he would remember them and let them be his. He said to these would be given the ability to discern between that that is right and that which is wicked. And to know who is serving God and who is not.
Phil. 4:8---Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS.
Now, this tells us we are to think on good, right , pure things.
So, I say to you, those who keep bringing up the things of darkness, devil evil worship, horrible things, mess going on in the world, lying myths, going into details of their filth, all the troubles in this earth; I tell you, these people will rob you of your peace, your faith, your thinking and talking on the name of God. So, it may rob you of being His jewels.
Isa. 26:3---Thou wilt keep him in PERFECT peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
So, this shows us the way to perfect peace; to keep our mind on God. All these other things will take you mind off into dangerous territory.
The Word of God is the only way to keep your mind on Him; think on , read, study, talk of the Word of God; it is the only way to keep a spiritual mind. The carnal mind is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and PEACE.
Thinking on how heathens have always worshipped their idols, how the world is corrupt, who killed who, all such things will take you into a carnal, fearful mind.
1John 4:17---Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
v18---There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
To come to the perfect love of God in our lives casts out fear. God does not want us to be fearful; for this has torment. So, those who try to bring fear into your mind, is your enemy.
Jesus said when the Holy Ghost is come, He will lead you and guide you into all truth. So, if one has the Holy Ghost, that Spirit will teach you God’s truth. But the only way to know truth is to compare Scripture with Scripture. If one Scripture crosses another one, you do not have the correct interpretation of that Word.
1John 2:26--These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
v27---But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Now, see that the Holy Ghost will teach you, therefore that is the anointing that teaches us. If anyone has the true Holy Ghost, that spirit will teach you truth; Scripture explaining other Scriptures; so that you KNOW truth, not guess.
Some say that we cannot KNOW these things; but see that this Scripture proves that to be an untrue statement. If the Holy Ghost is an anointing teaching us all truth, how say them that we can not know the truth?
See, they seduce your minds. Those giving you worldly stuff to think on, will take your mind away from God. They seduce you. I sit here, looking up Scripture, taking up my time to type all this for you, to try to help you grow up in Christ; I do not go get a bunch of stuff already put together and copy that and bring it to you. I give you the pure Word of God. I do that because I love you and God enough to try to teach you the pure Word to think on; so you can have peace and joy and love.
But unless you learn to study the Pure Word for yourself; not some other man’s words about God, but the Word of God itself, you will never find truth and peace. You must study the Word of God or you will never know the truth. Your church can’t give it to you. Some other preacher can’t give it to you. No one can. You must study the Word yourself.
John 14: 27---Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Here Jesus said he would give us his peace. He said he did not want our heart to be troubled and afraid. Those who keep showing us the horrors going on in the world, will trouble us and make us afraid. So, they are not the ministers of Jesus. Jesus’ ministers give us peace; for they speak of heavenly, good things.
Jesus also said he would have us without carefulness. This means he does not want us all fearful and upset. He gives us peace. But you must keep your mind on him to have this peace. Don’t look around you at the trouble in the world; for if you do, you will lose that peace.
Jesus said we must abide in him to bear fruit. We can of ourselves do nothing. We can not bear fruit except in him. So, to have this joy, and peace is to bear fruit. He said every branch in him that bears fruit he purges it so it may bear much fruit. So, if we stay in his word, he will give us more peace so we bear more fruit.
But he said every branch in him that does not bear fruit, he taketh it away and casteth it into the fire and it is burned.
So, we must be careful to keep our minds on him, so we can bear peaceful fruit; so he will not cast us away into the fire of damnation.
That is why I am bringing you this message; concerning them that seduce you. They do this by bringing you things that look so good; but inwardly they are wolves in sheep clothing; for they do not bring you the Good Word of God to give you peace. They bring you things of Satan, to take your minds off into carnality and foolishness, to take you away from the peace of Jesus.
Jesus said not to cast your pearl before swine for they will trample your pearl and then turn and rend you.
That is how we come to know those that are swine: they keep trampling our pearl (jewel of truth) and then rending us. I am almost to the point of being ready to give up this ministry on the internet. For it seems that all I receive for my labor, is someone rending me. I ask any true Christians out there, to pray much for me; so I will know God’s perfect will in this matter. I want to do what he wants me to. If I know for sure that this is his will, It does not matter what they say. But if it is not, I do not desire to continue to go through this constant rending me.
I do hope this will help some of God’s true Children.
