Destroying Evil Works By Pastor Bill Taylor A publication of My Father's House, inc. Volume 9//Issue 3 Prophecy: He who overcomes will inherit all things, and I shall be his God and he shall be My son. And that church who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I shall be their God and they My people. I tell you, that which you’ve overcome is awesome even now in this place. For you’ve overcome the lies of the evil one, and because you’ve overcome his lies you’ll be greatly blessed. Even as it’s written of My Son that He overcame the evil one, and so by the righteousness of One many will be made righteous. So as a church, you’ve overcome the lies of the evil one, and by the righteousness of this church many others will be made righteous. And many shall enter into the victory as they see the lies you’ve overcome and they join in overcoming those lies, they also shall be My people and they shall be your brethren and I shall be your God and theirs, saith the Lord. Prophecy: There are those who’ll say to Me on the day when I appear, “We ate and drank in Your presence; You walked in our streets. We know you, Jesus.” But I’ll say to them, “I don’t know you; depart from Me.” I tell you, they think they know Me because they know My face, and yet they never knew My heart, so they never knew Me at all. But you My people, who don’t know My face, when you see My face you’ll know Me because you know My heart. Because you know Me by the Spirit, you’ll know Me by My face and I’ll know you. And now is the time to get to know Me; because the part of Me that’s most necessary for you to know is My heart and My Spirit. And My Spirit I’ve poured out abundantly that you might know Me. And My heart you’ll see in My Word. So don’t waste this opportunity, but take hold of the things of My Spirit and My Word that I am pouring upon you through My grace that you might not only know Me but be known by Me, saith the Lord. Also I tell you this, you can only know one another by the Spirit; know no man after the flesh, don’t look upon the outward appearance, but look to see if Christ is within and deal appropriately. When you’ve found Me in one, you’ve found your brother; and what you do to the least of these My brethren, you do to Me. But when you find I’m not there, you know you’ve not found a brother and you need to admonish, rebuke, and to expose that one’s sin – the emptiness, the lack, and the deceit within. If that one is to be saved, he must see what he needs. So look upon no one after the flesh, but look at all times for My Spirit; know one another by My Spirit; know those around you by My Spirit; and know Me by My Spirit, saith the Lord. (Prophecies delivered at “My Father’s House”) For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1Jn3:8) To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? (Is1:11) And to what purpose is your Christianity and your worship of God if it doesn’t involve you in Christ’s destroying the works of the devil? And what are the works of the devil that Jesus must destroy? They always relate in some manner to deception. You’re of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there’s no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he’s a liar and the father of it. (Jn8:44) The devil is a murderer. Jesus says, “he was a murderer from the beginning” and connects that in the same sentence with, “he doesn’t stand in the truth.” Because the devil kills by deceit. Lies kill. His first lie killed Adam and Eve and the whole human race. He was a murderer from the beginning. He’s still killing today and he still uses lies. The work of the devil is to kill and his weapon, his sword, is deceit. God wants to give us life. Jesus says, “I’ve come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.” (Jn10:10) Jesus gives us life by standing in the Truth. The Word of God is Truth. Jesus’ sword is Truth. And the works of the devil, satan’s murderous lies will be defeated by God’s Truth. Here’s a revelation concerning Jesus’ Truth. Christ’s weapon – His sword of Truth kills the old man, the selfish flesh nature. In other words, Truth kills the liar. Truth kills lies and it kills the things that are the offspring of or related to lies. But Truth gives life to the new man. (Rom8:6,13) So the modus operandi of a godly ministry will very much depend on the character of the people that are being ministered to. What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness? (1Cor4:21) If we minister to carnal people, then we must speak the Truth of God in such a way that it kills their carnality and puts to death their old man. In a godly church carnal people will receive much chastening, they’ll be rebuked, and it won’t be pleasant for their flesh. However, in a church where the believers are established in the new man, God will be able to speak to them with much encouragement, love and tenderness. Look at the extraordinary difference between the book of 1st Corinthians and the book of 1st John. The first is full of chastening and rebuke. The other full of tender admonitions. The difference is completely due to the diverse characters of the “believers” in the two churches. The Corinthians are still carnal (1Cor3:1,3) – John’s church is Spiritual. (1Jn4:13) So John is speaking much life to his people because he’s speaking to their new man. And because they’re in the new man that new man hears the Truth. But Paul has to speak “death” to the carnality of the Corinthians. Again and again he must rebuke their fleshly ways. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. For if we’d judge ourselves, we’d not be judged. (1Cor11:29-31) They must get into the Spirit if Paul is to speak “life” to them. But the natural man doesn’t receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they’re foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they’re spiritually discerned. (1Cor2:14) And I, brethren, couldn’t speak to you as to Spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. (1Cor3:1) To learn and understand Spiritual things you must be in the Spirit. Now we’ve received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. (1Cor2:12) Only those who are (born) of God and in God (in the Spirit) can hear God. In regards to that Jesus says, “All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t hear them.” (Jn10:8) and, “The thief doesn’t come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” (Jn10:10) The work of the devil is to kill, and what he can’t kill he steals and what he can’t steal he destroys. He does this through deceit the same way a thief works. A thief comes through the window, not through the door. He enters deceptively! But God’s people, His sheep, won’t be deceived – not because they recognize the thief as a thief, per se, but because they recognize God’s voice and the thief isn’t “God.” “Most assuredly,” I say to you, “he who doesn’t enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they’ll by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they don’t know the voice of strangers.” (Jn10:1-5) Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we’re the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. (2Cor2:14-16) To the sheep we represent the voice of the Shepherd who cares for them – to the “thieves” we’re the voice of the “householder” who’ll catch them in the act of their thievery, their sins, their murders, and destroy them. This doesn’t just apply to the wicked versus the elect, sinner versus saint, but also it means the old man in you versus the new man. Those who are perishing don’t like us to be around because we are a savor of death to them, a “catching them in their sin” and your old man doesn’t like to be around spiritual people either, because we’re death to him for the same reason. But the new man loves to be around spiritual people because we’re life to him, a confirmation of his salvation, and it’s the things we speak that are life or death to each. (Pr18:21) These aren’t unfathomable mysteries. False christians don’t like to read their Bibles or hear the scriptures explained by real Christians because God’s Word convicts and condemns them, “catches them in their sin.” So God’s Word is death to them and their deceptive feelings of false security. They think “holiness” and “perfection” is all theoretical, so far from reality that it’s unobtainable. Actually holiness is so down home, so real, so easy to understand that you can’t deny it. It’s as close as your faith in Christ. Holiness all comes down to the simplicity of the Truth that when you’re doing right because the Holy Spirit is leading you then when you read or hear God’s Word, it confirms your rightness (righteousness). And that opens your heart to receive God’s life, strengthens your faith and assures you of your salvation. (1Jn3:21,22) Everybody knows, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (Jn3:16) But few go on to, And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. (Jn3:19) God gave His only Son “the Light” to save them, but wicked men don’t want Him. Everyone who runs from the light, which also means “the Truth,” is trying to protect or disguise the evil each is doing. He doesn’t want to be seen and caught so he doesn’t come to the light. He doesn’t want to think about the Truth or be reminded of it because the Truth causes him to hear not life but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. (Heb10:27) But the ones who come to the light want to know for sure they’re doing good. So we look at the Word of God, we look at the Spirit of Truth to find the Truth. We can see the one who really wants to know he’s doing good will come to God and His Word to see if he’s really doing good. And if he’s doing good, he’ll get life because he’ll see that “indeed Christ is in me, indeed I’m following God correctly.” So the righteous one will be encouraged in his faith. For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart doesn’t condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. (1Jn3:20-22) One who’s not doing right will see his condemnation and it will be death to him because he recognizes whatever he’s been doing is deserving of death. He’s been doing wrong. He’s righteously condemned. If such a sinner wants to be saved he must repent and crucify the things that are leading him to do wrong, which are of the flesh. To be saved you must crucify the flesh by the power of the Spirit so Jesus can live in you. This isn’t some unfathomable, esoteric thing. It’s quite comprehensible to those who want to understand. And here’s why the message of the cross is the power of God. (1Cor1:18) By the power of the cross you can put to death the body of sin and then be saved in putting on the Spirit of Christ. It’s a very practical thing that when you’re doing right, the light will show you and give you life but when you’re doing wrong, the light will show you so you can put to death that wrong or it will leave you knowing if you’re unrepentant that you’re dead in your sin. The main subject we’re considering is destroying the works of the evil one. And what are we doing when we put to death the sinful flesh? We’re destroying the works of evil. What it really comes down to is determining whether the spirit in you is life so you can give it more life or whether the spirit you’re following is death and needs to be put to death. There’s sin in your flesh. (Rom7:17) If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the Truth isn’t in us. (1Jn1:8) So sin is in you personally. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom3:23) But it’s also in everyone corporately. The elect however crucify the sin and don’t let it operate. For if you live according to the flesh you’ll die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you’ll live. (Rom8:13) Crucifying their flesh is life to the elect. But to the false christians and those who are perishing, who excuse, ignore or cover their sins instead of crucifying them, death is their inheritance. And that’s the point. We’re fighting a battle against the false church and false christians who surround us like locusts. For there’s very little true Christianity in the world today. It may appear that there are “christians” everywhere but they’re not real Christians. These false christians believe if they give God a portion (a sacrifice) then the rest of their life is their own to do with as they please. But God says, “To obey is better than sacrifice.” (1Sam15:22) And Jesus teaches us a true believer belongs completely to God and will serve God in everything. For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. (2Cor5:14,15) Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1Cor6:19,20) Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1Cor10:31) These false christians think the “churches” were created by man to serve community interests. And if we don’t join with them in their “community services” we’re sinning. The truth is the “communities” are very often antichrist and serving the flesh. We know that we’re of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. (1Jn5:19) The true church was created by Christ for the purpose of perfecting the saints, the community of God not the community of the world. I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. (Jn17:9) God has put the church in the earth to help the people who come to the church (the light) to be perfected. Let the worldly community take care of worldly community interests. God’s church must take care of God’s interests. Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the Kingdom of God.” (Lk9:60) Satan has created a false form of christianity. But when the enemy comes in like a flood, (of false christianity) God raises up a standard of true Christianity. (Is59:19) We at “My Father’s House” are the standard He is raising up. Jesus said, “All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t hear them.” (Jn10:8) Now as we have just seen a real preacher speaks life to the new man, but death to the old. And carnal people who are in the “old man” hate a real preacher because what he’s saying and doing condemns them. But such people aren’t Jesus’ sheep, because all who came before Me are thieves and robbers but the sheep didn’t hear the thieves and robbers. Also, We’re of God. He who knows God hears us; he who’s not of God doesn’t hear us. (1Jn4:6) And conversely because they’re not of God and we’re of God, we don’t hear them. We don’t know the voice of strangers. (Jn10:5) Jesus is saying those who are of God don’t hear those who aren’t of God so, “All that came before Me aren’t of God so the sheep didn’t hear them.” In my personal experience many people tried to witness to me before the Lord saved me. I never heard any of them. Now that I know what’s been going on in contemporary “christianity,” I know these so-called “christians” weren’t of God. They were thieves and robbers: Baptists, Presbyterians and Methodists; people who may talk a lot about God but they don’t know God. They just know some things they call religion which they think are of God. But we can see today their religion is actually a deception that’s standing in the way of God. And God chose me for a very particular and needful work that I’m now doing. He knew me before the foundations of the earth and He wasn’t going to let me hear anybody but Him. So I get this sense about the elect people, it’s like, you build a little earphone and you program a secret word in it and that earphone isn’t going to open up until it hears the code word. And I didn’t wake up until I heard God speak and then something went “Bang!” inside of me and I heard God! The thieves and the robbers didn’t have the combination that could make me hear them. I wasn’t built to hear them because what was in me was of God so only when God spoke could I hear. Now, some of the elect when they started it seemed like they heard the Baptists but then they heard God and they got out of the Baptists and into the real church. When God speaks, He speaks to the “new man.” The “old man” isn’t Jesus’ sheep. The old man doesn’t hear God. If liars like Baptists and Catholics can “witness,” it isn’t the “new man” in the people they evangelize or that’s hearing them. It can only be the old man. The old man can run after the liar and believe the liar because he’s of the liar. I speak what I’ve seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you aren’t able to listen to My Word. You’re of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there’s no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he’s a liar and the father of it. He who’s of God hears God’s words; therefore you don’t hear, because you’re not of God. (Jn8:38,43,44,47) They don’t hear Truth because they aren’t of the Truth but they hear lies because they’re of the liar. I have come in My Father’s name, and you don’t receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you’ll receive. (Jn5:43) The old man’s nature is to listen to lies, follow lies, to be a thief, and consort with people similar to himself. So the evangelism of the fallen, heretical, antichrist churches is an evangelism that appeals to the deceitful nature of the old man and the old man hears them because he’s of them. They’re of their father the devil and the old man is too. Now, the sheep, or the elect Jesus talks about as His, are a people planted by God where the others are planted by the devil. The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the Kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. (Mt13:38,39) Concerning those planted by God, God said to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you to become a prophet to the nations.” (Jer1:5) That means, concerning the elect, their old man won’t be allowed to do things other people’s old man can do because God has a special purpose for them. He has His hand on them in a special way. Even when they don’t know Him, to a degree, they’re sanctified. Even when they don’t know Him, they know the voice that isn’t Him isn’t to be listened to. And it’s not until they hear Him that they wake up. So some of the elect may look like they’re in the old man and are associating with people who are of their father the devil, (Jn8:44) but in reality they’re biding time until God awakens them. They’re like secret agent “moles” waiting for the code word to come over the phone when suddenly they’ll become active agents. Listen, O coastlands, to Me, and take heed, you peoples from afar! The LORD has called Me from the womb; from the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name. And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, and made Me a polished shaft; in His quiver He has hidden Me. (Is49:1,2) God has His elect hidden all over the place and whenever He speaks the word, they come to life in just the place the devil wishes they weren’t. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1Jn3:8) If anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he’s not His! (Rom8:9) You must have Christ in you or you aren’t saved. You don’t belong to Jesus unless you have His Spirit. So Paul admonishes, “Examine yourselves as to whether you’re in the faith. Test yourselves. Don’t you know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you’re disqualified?” (2Cor13:5) Christ has to be in you for you to be saved. The false church being of their father the devil believes a lie. They think because they’ve “confessed” Jesus as Lord they’re saved. But the Truth is the devils “believe” and tremble but they’re not saved. (Jms2:19) Obviously there are alternate definitions to the word “believe.” There’s the “human wisdom” way of believing, which is the same way the devils believe. It’s to merely acknowledge something as true. Then there’s the “godly wisdom” way of believing, which means if I really “believe” Jesus is Lord, my whole life must be devoted to Jesus. And because He’s Lord I must obey every word He says. Because to believe He’s Lord is to believe He’s indeed King of the universe and He deserves every bit of my obedience. So, the faith or “believing” of the true saint fulfills Moses’ prophecy, Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet (in all things) shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. (Act3:22,23) This awesome prophecy defines real Christianity. You hear Him in everything or you die; you’ll be cut off. And this illustrates “believing” according to God’s definition. Godly believing means you must believe in such a way as to obey all. So, the lie in the false churches is we don’t need to believe Jesus in everything. We just need to believe this fact about Him that He’s the Son of God. Then based on “believing” that fact, they think they’re saved because, “The Bible says so.” No, the Bible doesn’t say so. The false teachers say so by misinterpreting the Bible. Your interpreters have transgressed against Me. (Is43:27) But because they believe the lie, that false doctrine leads them to make another false assumption. And that is, since to be saved you must have Jesus in you, you wrongly assume therefore because you’re “saved” that you have Jesus in you. That’s the big lie, the strong delusion false christianity is erroneously believing. So why does Paul tell you to “examine yourself to see if you’re in the faith; is Christ really in you?” (2Cor13:5) If it were so simple as saying, “I believe in Jesus, therefore I am saved, therefore Christ is in me,” then what Paul is telling us to do would be unnecessary. Everyone who confesses Jesus would have Christ in them automatically. But Paul knows not everyone who says he believes really believes correctly and not everyone who says he’s saved really is saved. But it’s not that the Word of God has taken no effect. For they’re not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they’re the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these aren’t the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. (Rom9:6-8) To really be saved you must have the faith that really produces Christ in you else you’re believing in vain and you aren’t saved if Christ isn’t in you. So you mustn’t assume you have Christ in you just because you think you’re saved – but rather you must actually prove you have Christ in you to determine if you’re really saved. But you’re not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he’s not His. (Rom8:9) If having Christ in you was automatic to everyone professing a belief in Christ, these verses wouldn’t have been written. Examine yourselves as to whether you’re in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you’re disqualified. (2Cor13:5) Both these scriptures show you don’t define you have Jesus in you by assuming you’re saved but you define you’re saved only if you can prove you have Jesus in you. See how many things the so-called “christians” do in the contemporary “churches” that are the opposite of what the Bible says to do. And the devil is always backwards from the Lord. Some time ago, I prayed to God concerning this verse that, “Lord, if we’re to examine ourselves to see if Christ is in us, then we need to know how to see those things that demonstrate He is, as well as those things that demonstrate He’s not.” God answered my prayer. Much of what’s been going on at “My Father’s House” has been God answering that prayer. Recently God has been very specifically showing us the evidences that assure us of the reality of having Christ in us so we can see whether we have Him or not! And from the revelations God has given us on this subject some of you have discovered you really did not have Christ in you. You were fooled into thinking you were “saved” when you didn’t know how to look at yourself to see which spirit is actually in you. You were under the assumption you were “saved” when in fact the spirit in you wasn’t Jesus. To be truly saved you must attain to the faith that produces the real Jesus in you. Now because you see your need you can actually pursue and attain to a real salvation. The Truth has set you free from the lie so you can really be saved. Another of the lies many false christians believe concerning Christ in them is to think of Him as being tucked away like He’s in a corner somewhere in you. The Bible doesn’t support that. Jesus is Lord and where He is, He’s in control. So if He’s not in control, something else is and that means He isn’t Lord in you and if He isn’t Lord in you, He isn’t in you. Anything that’s truly Christ in you must behave in accordance with Spiritual wisdom and sound scriptural interpretation. It’s plain to see, for example, that a liar is not of Jesus. Jesus isn’t in a liar. Don’t think you’re saved if you’re a liar. No lie is of God. (1Jn2:21) It’s impossible for God to lie. (Heb6:18) John has much to say about whether Christ is really in the “believer.” Whoever abides in Him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. (1Jn3:6) In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever doesn’t practice righteousness isn’t of God, nor is he who doesn’t love his brother. (1Jn3:10) This is how we can tell whether the devil’s in you or Jesus is in you. Do you do righteousness? If you do righteousness and love your brother Jesus must be in you. If you don’t do righteousness and you hate your brother then the devil’s in you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who doesn’t love his brother abides in death. (1Jn3:14) Many of us have experienced the hateful things directed towards us by the Baptists and false christians, particularly when we expose their lies or stand up for God’s Word in an area they disagree with. It’s plain to see how much they hate us and we’re of God. So we know they abide in death. And we know they’re not doing righteousness either. How often have you seen Baptists coming out of their “church” meeting and lighting up their cigarettes? They say things like, “The Bible doesn’t say we can’t smoke.” But would Jesus smoke? Such people aren’t doing righteousness. What’s in them is the devil. They go to the devil’s church. The devil tells them they’re saved. And because they believe the lie that they’re saved they think Jesus must be in them, but they never examine their behavior to see if Jesus is in them. They are trapped in a false way of thinking. “I don’t need to see Jesus is in me. Since I know I am saved, He must be in me.” But the truth is, you’re not saved, so you’re believing a lie – Christ isn’t in you, and your behavior proves it. But concerning the people who really have Jesus in them, For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1Jn3:8) That is, if Jesus is in you, He must be destroying the works of the evil one in you, which means He’s destroying the sin in you. And that’s why He’s manifested! – To destroy sin. If Christ is in you, you won’t be doing the works of the evil one. You won’t be a liar, but you’ll be uncovering and exposing the lies of the devil if Jesus is in you. Nor will you be passively allowing the evil one to do wicked things in your presence while you just sit there doing nothing about it, because Jesus is in you to destroy the works of the evil one! Therefore, if the Spirit of Christ is in you, you’ll discern the works of the evil one, and be moved by the Spirit of Christ in you to confront the works of the evil one and go to war against the works of the evil one and you’ll not tolerate the evil one doing his evil works in your presence! Jesus wouldn’t. When you see Jesus taking the whip to the moneychangers in the temple, what do you think He is doing? (Jn2:15,16) Is He just getting along with everybody the best He can, trying to show them God loves them? Or is He aggressively attacking the works of the evil one? Now, who’s in me? Who’s in you? Can you passively sit there ignoring the works of the evil one and claim Jesus is in you? No, if Jesus is in you, you can’t because that’s not like Jesus. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked. (1Jn2:6) Because as He is, so are we in this world. (1Jn4:17) For this purpose the Son of God was MANIFESTED (1Jn3:8) and Jesus has to be manifesting in you or He’s not in you! Remember You’re of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the Truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he’s a liar and the father of it. (Jn8:44) The principal work of the evil one is to murder by the use of lies. And here’s a big one. Millions and millions of people today wrongly think they’re going to Heaven because they think they’re saved due to a superficial and wrong understanding of the word “believe.” They claim Jesus is in them when they’ve no visible evidence of Christ’s Spirit affecting their behavior to make them Christ-like but in fact their behavior evidences a very different spirit is in them; even the spirit of antichrist. There’s no doubt that because of the lie these people are believing the thief is going to steal, kill and destroy many of their souls. They’re going to wake up in the judgment thinking their whole lives that they were saved and find out Jesus never knew them and they’re going to be castaways, unless somebody does what for them before that happens? What is it that has to be done? The terrible lie they’re believing has to be exposed in order to destroy the work of the evil one. Satan’s weapon, the sword which he kills with is deceit. God’s weapon, the sword which He saves with is Truth. What kills satan’s lies is God’s Word of Truth. Jesus is manifested as a mighty Savior with a mighty sword and He’s manifested to destroy satan’s lies. When satan’s lies are destroyed, the one who was captive to the lies can then see the Truth and freely decide to follow that Truth if he wills. “I want to be a real Christian. I can see that before I wasn’t, but now I repent.” So the captive is set free by the Truth and saved from the lie that would destroy him and from the false salvation that imprisoned him in the delusion that he was saved when in fact he wasn’t. So because the false stands in the way of the true, the one who is captured by the lie doesn’t get the true unless the lie is exposed so he can repent of the false and turn to the true. That’s been going on right here in some of you; where it’s been exposed that you weren’t in the Spirit of Christ and your behavior has been very much unChrist-like. So now you see you’ve been deceived. And when you can see the Truth you can repent – now you can put to death the old man and put to death the lie and put to death the deception and by faith and grace you can enter into the Truth, into what it really means to abide in Christ. That’s what we’re showing you here, what your behavior is like when you’re in Christ and what you’ll feel, and the things that will move you when your affections are set on things above. (Col 3:1) And how if you’re truly in Christ, you’ll be involved in destroying the works of the evil one. How do I know Jesus is in me? One very strong reason is satan doesn’t cast out satan (Mt12:26) and the work I’ve been doing with great joy and diligence for years is destroying satan’s lies in the “churches” and that’s tantamount to casting out satan. Satan doesn’t cast out satan so who does cast satan out? Jesus! Then who’s in me? – For it’s God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. (Phil 2:13) Now, what’s inside you? You see, it’s not invisible; it’s not mystical in the sense of being imperceptible. If Jesus is in you it’s not hard to see Him. What motivates you? What causes you to get up in the morning? What is it your mind and heart are set upon through the day? You should have such an affection for Christ and His Truth and such a hatred for lies that as long as you’re in this world, you’ll be actively involved in destroying the works of the evil one. If Christ is in you, you must be bringing satan’s lies down and lifting up the Truth of Christ. As Christ’s people that’s our main purpose for living. That’s our purpose for being here. And one of the biggest lies we can come against is people thinking they’re saved when they’re not, when they don’t have the Spirit of Christ. These last few Glory of His Grace books we’ve written have come against that lie and are very strongly showing the Truth concerning that. (See our previous publication “To Live is Christ.”) If Jesus were in you, His Spirit would be causing you to behave the way Jesus behaves. (1Jn2:6) Jesus in you would be actively destroying satan’s lies. But there’s another profound characteristic that’s very evidential of Christ in you. And I’ll very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved. (2Cor12:15) Christ in Paul and Christ in you will always manifest in a willingness to give all for the sake of the elect; he delights in benefiting the brethren instead of benefiting himself. For even the Son of Man didn’t come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. (Mk10:45) For even Christ didn’t please Himself; but as it’s written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” (Rom15:3) This is the most important evidence that a believer actually has the Spirit of Christ abiding in him. As in, You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I’ve given you an example, that you should do as I’ve done to you. (Jn13:13-15) For who’s greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I’m among you as the One who serves. (Lk22:27) The most profound example of all is, He gave His life so we can live! He spent Himself to the uttermost. So the most important manifestation or characteristic of Christ in you is you laying your life down for your brother. Which is, By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. (1Jn3:16) He demonstrated how much He loves us and how much He’s willing to spend Himself for us when He laid down His life for us. That’s how we know the love of God. That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph3:17-19) To be filled with that self-sacrificing, give it all for my friends love is to be filled with the fullness of God. When Paul says, “that Christ may dwell in your hearts,” he’s not talking about a little closet in the backroom of your personality or something like that. He is talking about Christ being at the very center of everything important to you. He’s talking about Christ ruling in the place from which your very affections arise. That Christ may fill your heart! And by this I know love that He laid down His life for me which causes me to want to love Him with everything in me. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1Jn4:10) He laid down His life for us which inspires me to give Him my heart that He may dwell in my heart completely and I may be filled with all the fullness of God, that I might know the love of God that passes understanding. All that’s expressed in this isn’t just words. There is a reality to this that surpasses mere words and even human understanding. Such a love that manifests in joyful, willing and often very costly self-sacrifices. Then you have these false christians saying, “I know I have Jesus in me because I am saved.” The truth is if you had Jesus in you, you’d have in you the Spirit that willingly spends that others may be benefited. You’d have in you such a love for the souls of others that you’d lay your life down so they could live. Like when Paul says, “So then death is working in us, but life in you.” (2Cor4:12) “I’m willing to wrestle with death for your sake so that you can have life. I am willing to pull the death off from you, take it on to me and beat it down so that you can live.” That’s what Jesus did in the crucifixion and resurrection. That’s what Paul is doing when he says that death works in me so that life can work in you. As an intercessor he’s wrestling with the death that was killing you – so you can be set free and have life. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. (2Cor8:9) Christ isn’t trying to take from you to build Himself up and make Himself something. He’s spending Himself to better you. He’s investing Himself in you. He says, “You’re My treasure, you’re My glory, you’re My joy.” (1Th2:19,20) “What I can do to make you victorious is how I succeed in running my race. I win my race by making you a winner.” How contrary to that is the spirit we see in so many false “christians” today? Many people come to “church” to receive, to take and be filled but it all just sits in their private stock bottle and is never shared with anyone else. What they receive they keep to themselves for they don’t understand the real manifestation of Christ in you is to give. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. (Mt10:8) I’ve shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Act20:35) Your purpose as a Christian is to spend yourself, to give yourself, to take what God has put in you and make it work to give life to others. That’s what Jesus does. So, if He’s in you, that must be in you. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Rom12:1,2) Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. (Mt10:27) And the things you’ve heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who’ll be able to teach others also. (2Tim2:2) So, when we hear a false “christian” say, “I know the Spirit of Jesus is in me because I’m saved.” We answer, “No, the Spirit of Jesus is in the one who lays His life down for the brethren. The one who’s spending and being spent. Who’s actually giving up his life so his brethren can have more life and be built up in Christ.” The Spirit of Christ is in the one who is defending the true faith, (Jude3) destroying the works of the evil one. The works of the evil one are lies that kill. For example, those who believe the lie, “once saved/always saved” may sin “willfully.” If we sin willfully after we’ve received the knowledge of the Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. (Heb10:26,27) Believing they can’t lose their salvation they don’t think sin endangers them. So believing the lie kills them by causing them to commit willful sin for which there’s no atonement. But when we bring down the lie with Truth, those who see the Truth can avoid the “willful sin.” They can protect their salvation and remain saved. Again there are people whose “church” teaches the gifts of the Spirit (1Cor12:1-10) like tongues and prophecy etc., have “passed away.” Because they believe this lie they may easily blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it won’t be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. (Mt12:32) So those who believe the gifts of the Spirit have passed away are easily led to blaspheme the Spirit and say it’s the devil not God when they encounter God’s gifts of tongues or prophecy. Thus believing the lie kills them by causing them to commit an unpardonable sin. But when we show them the Truth they can avoid the unforgivable sin and live! Paul says, “I’m free from the blood of all men, because I’ve not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.” (Act20:26,27) But the false “churches” who teach lies are filthy with the blood of their victims. Their hands are covered with blood because of their murderous lies. They’re the harlot church “Babylon.” By her sorceries all the nations were deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth. (Rev18:23,24) God’s true church is the pillar and ground of the Truth. (1Tim3:15) She’s the embodiment of the Spiritual wisdom of Christ. (Eph2:22;Col 2:9,10) So that wisdom and Truth must be in every true believer if he’s to truthfully say, “Christ is in me.” That’s how to know the Spirit of Jesus is in you. If we don’t see these manifestations of Jesus in you we know you’re not of Jesus and you’re of the liar who’s come to kill, steal and destroy. That’s the Truth! These false christians haven’t come to give, they’ve come to take and taking without giving is death. These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots. (Jude12) It’s one thing for me to take a pint of my blood and give it to you because you need my blood to live. This agrees with, “I’m glad when I’m weak and you’re strong.” (2Cor13:9) I’m willing to be made weak and to take the blood (life – the life is in the blood) out of me to put it in you to make you strong. Because it’s right to give a transfusion to somebody who may die without it and who needs your strength more than you. It’s righteous to give them your strength and become weak so they can be made strong enough to live. So then death is working in us, but life in you. (2Cor4:12) And that’s the way Jesus works. But the thief comes in like a vampire to puncture your throat and drink your blood just to satisfy his lusts. He isn’t there to give life, he’s there to take it. And he’s willing to suck the life out of God’s church and God’s people because he delights in serving himself and bringing others down. He’s there to take what he can from you even when he doesn’t need it. He’s stealing, not to save his life but to gratify his selfish desires. I’ve a right to give my blood to who I want and not have it taken from me by a thief. I’ve the right to give my life where I want to sow it and not have it stolen from me by a faker. We went through this when Ms. Dy and Ms. Vy were among us pretending to be christians while they were bleeding us; taking, taking, taking and never giving. They came in under false pretenses claiming to be brethren, pretending they wanted to help destroy the works of the evil one. But then we found them doing the work of the evil one. They didn’t know how to love anyone but themselves. They only wanted to be loved and be served, so they abused the love of the brethren seeking always that we’d love them and give to them while they never gave back or passed any good on to others. They never showed any evidence of Spirituality, of Christ in them. They’re carnal. They’re leeches. They’ve come through the window because they’ve never really been born again in Jesus and they don’t have His life or Spirit in them. So Christ’s church was abused because you received as brethren two people who never had Christ in them and when we confronted them for their sins, did they repent? No. They rejected the Truth and continued in their selfish ways. So we removed them. Now God is teaching us how to make sure who’s of Him, to make sure who really is and isn’t a true brother or sister. And it starts with you. Are you destroying the works of the evil one? Is Christ dwelling in your heart? Are you willingly spending and being spent to give life to the brethren? And beyond that, can you see the need to destroy the lies that are holding so many around us in a “death camp” Christianity? What they call “christianity” today is often more like a spiritual Auschwitz or Dachau. The “churches” are prison camps. They are fenced in by lies. And the prison guards are satan’s servants, an SS, controlling the prisoners by clubbing them with their “don’t judge” batons.
“Don’t Judge” is one of the chief “doctrines of demons” that characterizes the devil’s children. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. (2Cor11:13,14) The way these wicked false “christians” use “don’t judge” it becomes a deadly lie. Anyone who loves the Truth can plainly see there must be a RIGHTEOUS WAY TO JUDGE – and we’re not only not forbidden to judge righteously, but we’re required to. True Christians are commanded to reprove and rebuke. (2Tim4:2) To do that we must judge righteously those who need rebuking. He who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. (Jms5:20) To do this we must be able to show a sinner his sin if we’re to turn him. And how can we do that without judging righteously? Wicked judging is judging wrongly, erroneously and with the purpose to destroy. Righteous judging is accurate and for the purpose of bringing a sinner to repentance to save him, or to save the righteous by exposing the wicked. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, who’ve strayed concerning the Truth, saying the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. (2Tim2:17,18) I’ve set you as an assayer and a fortress among My people, that you may know and test their way. (Jer6:27) It’s required of a prophet to judge God’s people righteously. The devil’s servants forbid “righteous judging.” They try to evade conviction by using “don’t judge” as a shield against the truth about their own wickedness and sin. They also try to prevent us from saving others. Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost. (1Th2:16) “Saving Gentiles” is equivalent to saving sinners. The wicked use “don’t judge” to try to stop Jesus from destroying the works of the evil one. Now to save a sinner is surely one of the greatest ways to destroy the works of the evil one – so just like the wicked Pharisees forbid Jesus to do good by healing on the Sabbath wicked “curstians” forbid us to save the lost by saying, “don’t judge” when we’re convicting sinners of their sin. They use “God’s Word against God” by cruelly misinterpreting “judging” and calling righteous judgment “sin.” So they try to forbid us to show sinners the error of their way, or even to reprove and rebuke righteously which we’re commanded to do. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith. (Tit1:13) How can Christians obey – But now I’ve written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who’s sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner -- not even to eat with such a person? (1Cor5:11) How can we obey this if we’re not permitted to judge righteously or discern the “sin” in sinners who call themselves brethren? Or how can Christians obey Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they’re ravenous wolves. You’ll know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree can’t bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that doesn’t bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you’ll know them. (Mt7:15-20) How can we obey Christ in this if we’re forbidden to judge the “fruit” of those who claim to be believers? And what of Jesus? But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the Kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you’ll receive greater condemnation. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he’s won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. Woe to you, blind guides, who say, Whoever swears by the temple, it’s nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he’s obliged to perform it. Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? (Mt23:13-17) Is Jesus sinning by “judging” here? Or how about Paul when he says, “of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.” (1Tim1:20) Is Paul a “wicked judge?” HYPOCRITES! Any saint can see it’s the “don’t judge” people who are the devil’s servants and the sinful Pharisees of today. They do violence to God’s Word and His people – twisting the Word of God against God and against His righteous saints who are destroying the works of the evil one. They make a man an offender by a word, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just by empty words. (Is29:21) These wicked false “christians” use “don’t judge” as a shield to hide behind so they can sin and not be rebuked. Through this the devil’s plan is to let sin run rampant in the churches so Christ’s coming can be hindered by the filthiness of the churches, because Jesus can’t come until He has a glorious church without spot or wrinkle to come for. The “don’t judge” people are evil “sons of serpents” who won’t let Jesus cleanse His church. They wickedly accuse us of sinfully “judging” if we try to correct God’s church. But Christ in me has exposed their wicked lies about “don’t judge” and I’ve judged them. For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you’re gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. (1Cor5:3-5) If they don’t repent God will deal with them according to their evil works. Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. (2Tim4:14) And they’ll be destroyed for their rebelliousness against His Word, His church and His righteous people. The people who believe these false prophets are like prisoners in a Nazi death camp just waiting to go into the furnace, thinking they’re waiting for Jesus to come for them when they don’t even have His Spirit and they aren’t His. They’re being told they’re going to the showers to get clean but they’re really about to be gassed and destroyed. They’re believing lies and it’s up to us who know the Truth to show them. Who else can help them? Who can defeat the lie except those who know the Truth? Again here we’ve seen the stupidity of many “churches” today. Their “don’t judge” is an awesome indication of their utter lack of wisdom and complete foolishness. How can they claim to be of Christ or God? Wake up people! Many of you don’t know the devil from God. Awake to righteousness, and don’t sin; for some don’t have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. (1Cor15:34) Do you know the Truth? Can you expose satan’s lies? I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and aren’t, and have found them liars. (Rev2:2) Jesus commends His church for testing (judging) false apostles which also means false christians and exposing them. Can you show people the difference between the true and the false? If Christ is truly in you, what mighty works is He leading you to do? (Jn14:12) The Glory of His Grace is a great work God has given us to defeat satan’s lies and there are many lies that need to be defeated. It’s a worldwide work. Are you up to it? Are you seriously involved? Can you see the need? Have you considered, “How much am I called to be a part of this?” How much was David called to be a part of killing Goliath? Was there a need? Is there not a cause? (1Sam17:29) What does this cause require of us? What if David was only walking around saying, “Somebody has to kill that giant. If anybody wants to try I’ll give him my sling.” Is that really helping? What does such a cause as this require of you? It requires your life. You must lay your life down. We have to stand up and face every giant! And what would Jesus do? In this case, I don’t have to ask Him what He’d do. I know what He’d do. He’s already doing it. He’s working powerfully in me and through me. He’s already destroying the lies. So what are you doing that demonstrates He’s in you? Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Col 1:27) Prophecy: The issue has always been, are you a temple of My Spirit? If you are, if My Spirit dwells in you, you’re Mine and I’m yours; you’ll bear much fruit and the fruit of the Spirit will manifest in you, you’ll live the crucified life and you’ll hear My voice. This has always been the issue, is My Spirit in you? And yet, I shake My head in wonder at so many who claim to be Mine and think they’re close to Me, yet who give so little thought to whether My Spirit is in them. They just walk on blindly and dumbly, presumptuously assuming that in some manner I’m there without ever looking to see “if Christ is in me where is He? What’s He doing? What’s He saying?” Now, I admonish you My people, I’ve spoken right words to you that you should never forget what you’ve heard. That you should get up every morning and determine truthfully whether or not you have Christ in you, and make the choice to set your affections on things above, and make the choice to be consciously in My Spirit that I can truly be in you. This is what makes you a Christian. This is what it’s all about; Christ in you the hope of glory! Am I living in you or am I not? Thus saith the Lord. Prophecy: Preachers in the false church will try to convict people of not “believing” in Jesus, but then they will refuse to convict people for not “serving” Jesus. And when they are searching for sermons and they see where I’ve said if you let the cares of this world and deceitfulness of riches and lust of other things enter in it makes you unfruitful, they’ll avoid preaching that lest they’d cause members of their congregation to feel uncomfortable. So their only issue is, do you believe in Jesus? But I say to you My people, if you believe Jesus is Lord, why do you not do the things that He says and serve Him as Lord? Any church that preaches a Jesus that you’re to believe in but won’t preach the ways that you are to serve Christ isn’t My church. And any church that’s afraid to make “believers” uncomfortable by showing them they, in fact, aren’t serving Jesus, is a fraud and a fake and it’s the devil himself who’s conceived and brought forth such workers of iniquity. For in My church, I’m the Head, and My people know My voice and My people have crucified the flesh and are crucified to the world and they serve Me and no other. And that’s what makes them Mine, and that is what makes Me theirs, saith the Lord. Prophecy: I’ll tell you, My children, of a house where the guests have gathered and they’ve entered through the door. And yet a robber comes in through the window, and tries to participate and tries to show everyone he belongs. He even uses trickery, deceit and lies to make himself accepted. But one of Mine will come and will expose the thief and the others around will see and they must then make a choice. Some may become upset, for it seems cruel to point out the one who’s the robber. But is it cruel? It’s right to show when one has entered where he doesn’t belong. In My church robbers have entered and they’ve disguised themselves, pretending to be what they’re not. They wear garments which aren’t My garments, and do works I’ve not called them to do. They put on robes made of presumptuous ideas and pretentious lies. But I’ve called you to point them out and say, “You didn’t come through the door. Christ isn’t in you.” And you’ll expose the thieves, and they’ll see they’ve been exposed. I tell you many false ones will be revealed in this day, for there are more robbers in many “churches” than those who were invited. But My true church will be clean and I’m setting My elect free from these false who’d deceive them and harm them, thus says the Lord. Prophecy: A big lie the demons have taught the false “churches,” the “synagogues of satan,” is that edification is flattery; so such “churches” don’t edify, they flatter. And they think edification means flattery, and when you do not flatter them they think you aren’t edifying. But flattery is poison. Flattery appeals to pride. Flattery turns the heart away from Truth. Flattery is bribing people with words, fooling them and deceiving them even as with false prophecy. Flattery is wickedness, and I’ll not have a flatterer in My house, and I’ll not let My people partake in flatteries. But edification is speaking Truth in love and building up faith so people can walk in Truth, see the Truth, know the Truth and be of the Truth, that Christ can form My Truth in them and they can be conformed to His image; so they can be My true children and walk in My Spirit. Don’t be surprised when the wicked have changed the very definitions of My Words, that they accuse you of not keeping My Words. For they’re foolish and don’t even know the meaning of My Words. They don’t know how to edify, for they’re so wrapped up in their flatteries and deceiving substitutes for My Truths that they haven’t even considered what My Word really means, saith the Lord. Prophecy: When does a warrior prepare for battle? Does he wait for the heat of the battle to start cleaning his weapons? Does he learn how to shoot in the midst of a confrontation? I tell you NO! I’ve called you to battle. I’ve called you to confront the enemy. I’ve called you to bring down satan’s lies. You’re responsible for knowing your weapons, for cleaning your weapons, for being intimate with your weapons. I’ve given you many weapons. Do you let your weapons sit in the closet so they’re not even at hand when it’s time for the battle? You need to know the things I’ve given you and how to use them well. For even as I’ve said that I’ll give you My Words to speak when you’re in the battle, I give you My Words to speak because you’ve been immersed in My Word before the confrontations come. And I can bring My Words to your mind for they’re written on your heart and they’re in you because you’ve spent time with Me in the days before. I’m calling you into rich preparations; know your weapons! I’ve given you The Glory of His Grace and I expect those of you here especially to know what’s in what I’ve given you. For it’s as a revelation of your weapons. Know the things I’m teaching you intimately so when you’re in the midst of the battle you’ll not be overcome. You’ll not be brought to checkmate as in a chess game, but you’ll know what the opponent is doing and what you need to do to counter the attack because I’ve prepared you and you’ve consumed the Truths I’ve shown you here that you may glorify Me in victory, thus saith the Lord. Prophecy: I’ve said in My Word “the son of the bondwoman shall not inherit with the son of the free. Therefore, cast out the bondwoman and her son.” I hear all around Me every time one of My servants would stand against the bondwoman and her son, every time one would try to convict and bring the false brother down and cast out the usurper in obedience to Me. What do I hear? I hear, “This is mean. That is mean.” Is it mean to get rid of the one who’d bring your children into idolatry? Is it mean to get rid of the one who’d pervert and defile My church? Is it mean to get rid of those who’d persecute and kill My Son? Is it mean to get rid of the wicked? By no means, saith the Lord! It’s love! It’s love for the brethren to protect them from the evil ones. I’ll no longer have this lie in My ear. For this is a doctrine of demons, it’s a defense that originates in hell so demons can sit in My church and defile her. Well, no more will it be heard in My church! I’ll now arise, and in My children I’ll arise; and we’ll stand and we’ll bring the lie down. And many will fear and many will tremble at My Word. So My children cast out the bondwoman and her son. And there’ll be a separation, for I’ll no longer have the carnal in My church. I’ll no longer have those who speak a different language, who have a different heart, and a different mind. Who have a different father altogether, and who persecute and try to bring down My true saints. I’ll no longer endure them but I’ll cast them out. And it will again be said by the righteous, “This is the love of God, to separate us from those who’d hurt us.” I tell you because I’ve said in My Word that the son of the bondwoman will not inherit with the son of the free, therefore, until the bond son is cast out the fullness of the inheritance can’t come to the free. But I’ll cast him out by the mighty power of My Spirit; and I’ll separate the true from the false and I’ll bring the full inheritance to My true sons, saith the Lord.
