For the past 2 years or more we have been writing a book entitled 'Unlocking the Wombs & Tombs in our Lives' and this following section was going to be chapter 3 of the book, however it did not fit in with the way the book has developed, so I have posted it on this site.
WARNINGS TO THE CHURCH
Chapter 3
Why has the Church become the way it is?
This information has been written with the sole purpose of warning the ‘body of Christ’ of the enemy’s tactics and to show the scriptural steps we can take to protect ourselves and those we love. The enemy including the hirelings that seek to devour our material and spiritual wealth are generally very well disguised.
Some of the major deceptions that Satan and his Demon Angels use are the Freemasonry Spirit, Jezebel Spirit and its many Occult derivatives. Freemasonry is a cult that originated from ancient Egyptian and Babylonian false worship and has infiltrated many religions and sects over the centuries. The enemy has craftily blended ancient Occult rituals with early Israelite history as recorded in the Bible.
All of the cults that have sprung up in the recent past, such as the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science, Christadelphians, New Age have been influenced in some way by Masonic or Occultist teachings. Shockingly Freemasonry and its many offshoots have even infiltrated the established ‘Christian Church’.
In fact many Bible Colleges use so called ‘Biblical Hermeneutics’ in their teaching systems and this word is derived from the god Hermes/Mercury; this is just a section of what Wikipedia has to say about this ancient false god:
Quote; Hermes is a messenger from the gods to humans, sharing this role with Iris. An interpreter who bridges the boundaries with strangers is a hermeneus. Hermes gives us our word "hermeneutics" for the art of interpreting hidden meaning. In Greek a lucky find was a hermaion. Hermes delivered messages from Olympus to the mortal world. He wears shoes with wings on them and uses them to fly freely between the mortal and immortal world. Hermes, younger than Apollo, was the youngest of the Olympian gods
We are not saying that Bible Colleges deliberately set out to deceive their students, but why use terminology that is not correct; and is certainly not found in the Bible, so why call it Biblical Hermeneutics?
In actual fact the correct Greek word for what they are teaching should be ERMINEYTIKA and not the word which describes the false deity Hermes. Notice the word ermineytika has an ‘I’ in it and not an ‘E’ and this makes a world of difference.
The word for Hermes in Greek is ERMES and the word which describes the ‘correct translation and understanding of the written word’ is ERMINEYTIKA. Hermes is one of the most venerated gods of Freemasonry and the unsuspecting initiate into the Lodge brings many curses onto their family line because of this.
The Demons can disguise themselves behind techniques used in places of learning which have their roots in the ancient false gods of Egypt, Greece and Rome. The Spirit’s behind these false deities set about polluting the Word of God and allowing the ‘Spirit of Control’ including the ‘Jezebel Spirit’ to thrive within the Churches. These Spirits are spoken of in the book of Revelation and are really ‘witchcraft’ deceptions used by controlling Demons to keep people in ‘religious straight jackets’ and away from the outworking of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
The early Church was made up of people who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and associated with their Christian brothers and sisters in ‘houses’ and shared all things in common. Some brothers would shepherd the flock (take care of them in every way) and sisters would also be used as Deacons (Diakonos) or Servants in order to help with the smooth running of the fellowship Romans 16:1, 2. However over the centuries powerful men infiltrated the Church and set up the Clergy/laity system that is still very much in evidence today.
Again the Bible refers to this in the book of Revelation which mentions this in chapter 2 and refers to the word ‘Nicolaitans,’ which in Greek, means ‘Followers of Nicolas.’ The name ‘Nicolas’ in Greek means ‘Victor of or over the people.’ The Clergy/Laity system developed from this time onwards and has become the ‘Power Base’ from which many religious leaders have misused their power by threats and intimidation over the laity or flock. The Bible says:
Acts 20:29-30 NKJV
“For I know this that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves”.
Peloubet’s Bible Dictionary says of them, “They seem to have held that it was lawful to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit the immoral excesses of the heathen, in opposition to the decree of the Church rendered in Acts 15:20, 29. Mingling themselves in the orgies of idolatrous feasts, they brought the impurities of those feasts into the meetings of the Christian Church. And all this was done, it must be remembered, not simply as an indulgence of appetite, but as a part of a SYSTEM, supported by a “doctrine,” accompanied by the boasts of a prophetic illumination” (p.449).
Early Church Syncretism
The Nicolaitans, therefore, were the early Christian-pagan syncretists (compromisers of the truth), the false teachers that crept into the church, who disguised themselves as followers of Christ – who professed to be His ministers and servants – but who led the people astray.
Peter wrote of them, saying, “But there were also false prophets among the people [such as Balaam], even as there will be FALSE TEACHERS among you, who will secretly bring in DESTRUCTIVE HERESIES, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed” – by the world around, which will paint all true Christians with the same brush-stroke, as being corrupt, immoral, and evil, because of the wicked works of these ‘Nicolaitans’ or false Christians, false teachers who claim to represent the Messiah and His truth (2 Pet.2:1-2).
Consequently this is a problem for those in the church just as much as those who do not know CHRIST as LORD and savior. This is also a subject that is not taught about in many churches and it keeps the children of GOD sick and barely able to keep going. GOD our Father says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6. And the enemy will take advantage of that lack of knowledge, just as the Apostle John recorded in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 12:9
"And the 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."
Many Christians pray for Revival and are expecting the River to flow through the earth and bring millions to Faith in Jesus Christ, but ‘what kind of Revival are they looking for’? True revival results in a total change of lifestyle and giving up of immoral habits.
We cannot expect genuine Revival to come, when many who claim they are Christians have a similar lifestyle as people in the World, where fornication, adultery, homosexuality, greed, idolatry and drunkenness are rife. Genuine repentance must come first, which means a total change of direction in the lifestyle and thinking of the person who confesses Christ Jesus. God will not be mocked as he is a Holy God who expects his people to be Holy and washed clean in the blood of the Lamb.
1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 NKJV
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God”.
There are many other scriptures that support the Apostle Paul’s words to the Corinth Church back in his day. As Christians we cannot claim that we have Christ in us and yet continue to bathe in the same polluted waters as the World who does not know Christ.
Therefore the Lord is looking for total repentance and turning away and renouncing of any former practice that is against his Holy written Word.
Acts 3:19-23
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you even Jesus. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from among his people.
Only when we get an intimate relationship with Father God through Yeshua his Son, can we see TRUE REVIVAL in peoples hearts and lives.
Blessings
David
