This article is called, “What happens If Jesus shows up in your church?” IN THE AMERICAN CHURCH TODAY, HOW MANY DEMONS ARE COMFORTABLE SITTING IN OUR CHURCHS AND COME EVERY SUNDAY OR EVERY SERVICE? THEY ARE LAUGHING BECAUSE THERE IS NO POWER OR AUTHORITY AT ALL, IN THAT CHURCH. YES, SATAN AND HIS LITTLE DEMONS WILL GO TO CHURCH WITH.
THERE IS NO REPENTENCE, NO CHANGE, NO POWER OF GOD, AND NO PRESENCE, OF JESUS OR THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT IS ALL ABOUT WHAT I LIKE OR DO NOT LIKE IN THE BUILDING AND THE SERVICES. MAYBE THEY COME EVERY WEEK OR EVERY MONTH TO THE SERVICES OR JOINED THE CHURCH AND BECAME A MEMBER. THEY WANT TO BE SATISFIED. OR, HE OR SHE, HAS THEIR OWN SPECIAL PLACE WHERE HE OR SHE SITS AND IS VERY COMFORTABLE. IT WILL BE THIS WAY AND STAY THIS WAY UNTIL JESUS OR THE HOLY SPIRIT SHOWS UP IN Bibical THE CHURCH. HAS THE CHURCH AND MEMBERS BECOME COMFORTABLE SITTING WITH DEMONS? HAVE PEOPLE BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR OWN DEMONS? NOW I HAVE USED CAPITAL LETTERS TO SAY THIS HERE TO BETTER GET YOUR ATTENTION, SO REALLY THINK ABOUT IT?
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE AND PROGRAM OF YOUR CHURCH?
First of all, is it even Biblical based upon the Holy Bible, The Holy, inspired, God breathed Word of God? Where does the preaching or teaching come from? Next, where does the music and singing come from? Let’s get serious right here peoplw. I Peter 4:17 says, “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?” Do you not realize how we shall be judged and rewarded for our service to God? In this chapter Peter is telling those in the church to separate from their former sins, not to bring them to church with you.
I do get frustrated to hear testimonies in the church when someone stands and takes 15 minutes or longer, glorifying their former sins and everything they did with the devil, before being converted. I think it is time for you to stand up and glorify what Jesus has done in your life and what He has saved you from which is death, the grave and hell. Praise God, quit glorifying sin and Satan. Dear reader, what worldly so called standard is allowed and accepted in you church? What perversion has become welcome in your church? What is allowed in your church which the Bible expressely rebukes? Does real teaching and preaching of Gods word, hurt your little feelings?
FALSE TEACHERS AND FALSE DOCTRINES
In the early church and days of the Apostles, there was very much false teachers and false doctrine being spread. Just like today in our society. Paul and the Apostles fought false doctrine and a false Jesus just like true churches fight the same battle. Understand this, Satan will never push or endorse the true Jesus of the Cross.
As got questions .com says. “In Galatians 5:1–15, the apostle Paul addresses the topic of Christian freedom. Jesus Christ came to set His followers free from slavery to sin and the law with all its demands, obligations, and negative consequences (Romans 3:21–26; 6:11–14, 22–23; 10:4; 2 Peter 1:2–4). Freedom in Christ is not a license to sin and indulge our selfish, fleshy desires, but a call to “serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other” (Galatians 5:13–15). Paul stresses the importance of unity in the Christian community, a unity that is threatened when we turn against one another.
One of the key problems in the early church, and one that persists today, was the presence oflegalists. These individuals propagated false teachings, suggesting that salvation required adherence to outward religious rituals and laws, such as circumcision (seeGalatians 5:2–6, 9–12). The unrest led to division and infighting among the Galatian believers, causing Paul great anguish over their return to spiritual bondage.
Employing graphic imagery, Paul cautioned the Galatians to quit attacking each other. He used two strong verbs to indicate that these Christians were not acting like brothers and sisters in Christ but more like a pack of wild animals biting and devouring one another. InGalatians 5:15, the term translated as “bite” (daknete in Greek) means “to keep on biting, to backbite, to hurt, harm seriously, conceived as cutting off or tearing with the teeth.” The word rendered “devour” (katesthiete in Greek) means “to eat up, eat until it is finished, devour, injure.” If the Galatians did not stop their destructive words and damaging behaviors toward one another, they would eventually tear each other to pieces, utterly destroying their community of faith.
The goal of freedom in Christ—the reason Jesus came to set us free—is to live a life of love: “For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love” (Galatians 5:6, NLT). This expression of love through our faith in Jesus fulfills the law and brings us closer to the freedom Christ offers.
Paul quoted Leviticus 19:18—“Love your neighbor as yourself”—(cf. Galatians 5:14; Matthew 19:19;22:39;Romans 13:9; James 2:8) to demonstrate that the law itself maintains love as its chief object for keeping the law. Legalism treats people severely, but the law of love “does no wrong to others” and thus “fulfills the requirements of God’s law” (Romans 13:10, NLT; see also Romans 13:8).
True spiritual freedom manifests through love—serving others, extending grace, and demonstrating humility. Love does not bite and devour a brother or sister in the Lord. It is “patient and kind . . . not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance” (1 Corinthians 13:4–7, NLT).
InGalatians 5:16–26, Paul presents the solution—the way out of bondage that leads to Christian freedom for all believers. It is to actively yield our desires to the Holy Spirit and let His power, as Paul emphasizes, “guide [our] lives. Then [we] won’t be doing what [our] sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.”
As long as we live in these earthly bodies, the battle continues between our fleshly desires and what the Spirit desires. Following outward laws won’t give us victory in this conflict. But if we daily draw on the inner power of the Holy Spirit, we will no longer bite and devour one another. We will understand that we belong to Jesus Christ and “have nailed the passions and desires of [our] sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there” (Galatians 5:24, NLT). As we walk according to the Spirit’s guidance, we will produce thefruit of the Spirit in our lives, which is “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”
