Amen..... excellent thread !!!
"It all goes back to the spirit of
antichrist, which comes in many forms of teaching that are opposed to
the Ten Commandments of God!! The clever reasoning behind the teaching
of disobedience goes like this: Since God's law is spiritual and we
are only physical, we cannot keep the holy, righteous law of God. So
Jesus had to keep it for us. Now we just "accept Christ" and His
righteousness is somehow imputed to us without any requirement for
righteous works. There are many false ministers today who are teaching
the doctrine of antichrist, a doctrine that sanctions disobedience to
God's commandments, a doctrine of "no works."
Ah, yes, the voice of the antichrist..... there are many out there and in here. Yet, each individual is accountable to God the Father !! That is why it is so important to be in the word every day, denying our reasoning, logic, opinions, being filled with the Holy Spirit, whom leads, teaches, enlightens, reveals, giving us discernment into God's perfect word!!
One will not be able to blame the churches, minister's and so forth !!
Each man/woman will be made accountable and without excuses before the Almighty God!!
We are called into a personal relationship, a life sanctified with our Heavenly Father !! That individual will know that voice of the antichrist trying to ensnare, deceive one into walking in the flesh and not the will of God's commandments.
We are too ........
Matt. 6:33
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
There will be no want to those who love and seeks God with all their heart, soul, strength.....
Luke 10:27
And he answered, " YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
So many excuses for the will of the flesh.... Well that speaks volumes and that a person truly does not love the Lord with all the heart, soul, strength, above their own will, they truly do not want God's kingdom !! And that one will be toss to and fro, hearing the voices of the antichrist, flesh, and the world !!!
One who is born again there is the hunger, a new creation, created in the heart, the Holy Spirit drawing one closer to our Lord, honoring, obeying what He commands us anything else is a heart of our own will, self-centered, the old man listening to the voice of the antichrist, rather than the Spirit of God !!
Jesus said......
John 14:15
" If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
The heart that truly loves the Lord wants nothing but Him in all area's of their life, not just when it is convenient to them.
A child of God really knows what Christ wants and commanding of us, the commands will and are not burdensome but pure joy to hear and obey!!
When the flesh pops up wanting to do its thing, deep in the heart, one really knows the difference !! Because that one loves the Lord so much and want nothing but His will in their hearts and lives, making no room for compromising.
And that one will desire and hearing within themselves......
Psalm 119:48
And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments, which I love; and I will meditate on Your statutes.
1 John 2:3-4
3. By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.
4. The one who says, " I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.......
Amen, when one loves the Lord they want nothing but Him and His desires, anything else falls short! And of course we will hear that voice of the antichrist saying..... your a Pharisee, legalistic, and so on !!
Yet, child of God, let that voice accuse you, it will be condemned by God our Father. Let not that voice intimidate you into compromising your relationship with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ !!!
Blessings to all who hear what the Spirit of God is speaking to your heart this very day !! Continue seeking, obeying, honoring, loving your God with all your being in what He has asked (commanded) of you this day, regardless of those who speak and have become the instrument of Satan, accusing you !!!
Keeping listening to the voice of your Shepherd....
AMEN !!!
