FALSE SERVICE TO GOD
Thursday – May 21, 2020, Iyar 27, 5780
Greetings dear and precious friends and partners of this Ministry and The Three Minute Word blog. If you are reading this on Facebook please take a moment to “love” and “share” this teaching. The featured picture today is of Donna and me last summer at the ocean near Ocean Point Inn in E. Boothbay, Maine. God is so good and wonderful. He is nothing but good, He is not the source of Coronavirus or any other thing that is part of the curse (Deuteronomy 28:14-68). Deuteronomy 28 and many other references tells us exactly how to walk in the blessing and how not to walk in the curse (and vice versa). Why do we, Christians, choose the curse time and time again? We claim to read, even study the Bible, and to have faith. So, why is the curse rampant in the Church?
The curse came by way of sin and enters each of our lives when we step aside from the Word of God (Deuteronomy 28:14-15). The Blessing is activated and maintained in our lives by our proactively listening too, looking at, and doing the Word of God. The curse is activated and maintained in our lives by our proactively listening too, looking at, and doing things that are not the Word of God. Being proactive means the taking of action to control a situation rather than just responding to it after it has happened according to Smart Lookup.
The pestilence of the Coronavirus is impacting the Church just like the world due to the Church turning aside to other gods, other words. Dear ones we should be in Goshen (Exodus 8:22, 9:26)! People should be flocking to us when they see our protection and the healing Power of God if one were to become ill. The primary wickedness in the Church is unbelief. This unbelief comes by many avenues but in the end, we choose to believe other words, and follow another Jesus. Saved yes, but walking in the traditions of men and the doctrines of devils. Now, let’s turn our attention to our primary Bible text in the Book of John and read it aloud.
John 16:1-4 (KJV)
1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
The only Words of God that will work for us are those decreed from our lips in unwavering faith, in love, led of the Holy Spirit. It is always the will of God for the curse to be removed from our lives and that comes by repentance (change of mind, words, and way) and then a decree for the curse (mountain) to leave. If the Word of God, or what we believe to be the Word of God, is not working, our first step is to be sure we believe the pure Word of God and it is not a tradition of men nor a doctrine of devils. Just because you heard it from brother or sister “super saint” or your pastor does not mean it is true. Search the Scripture and prove it by at least two witnesses. The second step is to be sure we actually believe that Word of God. Is that what is in our thoughts, it is what is in our mouth, and is it demonstrated in our ways. Don’t make a faith confession and then tear it down with words in the opposite direction. If you have claimed healing in your body, thank God for it, declare it as done (not dependent on how you feel), and have minimal talk about the problem only about the desired and promised result. We call ourselves the healed and not the sick. Guard against offense, the temptations of our flesh, as well as the temptations and snares of the devil, at all costs.
Jesus tells us in our text that there are those of us who will be thrown out of Churches. Been there and done that. He goes on to tell them that there will be people who kill Christians and believe they are doing a service to God. The Scripture is not saying here nor anywhere else that it is the will of God that Christians be killed. It is simply saying that Christians will be killed by other people because of their faith in Christ. The people who kill or bring other bodily harm upon Christians are deceived and motivated by satanic forces. The devil is working night and day to steal, kill, and destroy in all of our lives. He has snares set for each one of us right now. He is constantly bringing accusations before the Father hoping for a judgment to unleash hell into our lives, even death. Unfortunately, he is all to successful for we see the curse rampant in the lives of believers. In closing how do we stay free of offense, the snares of the devil and not suffer bodily harm? We stay in the light led of the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 91:1-3 (KJV)
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
We place ourselves with the voice of faith in the secret place and in the shadow of the Almighty and we maintain it by faith words. In that place, He, the “most High”, “the Almighty” will deliver us from the devils’ snares, traps. The following passage has to do with (at least in part) with walking in error. That is to believe something that is not true, not the Word of God.
2 Timothy 2:25-26 (KJV)
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Let us all be diligent to search the Word of God and know that what we believe is Scripture and not the tales of man inspired of the devils.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
