Muitas pessoas estão sendo enganadas por seus sentimentos. É dito, que os sentimentos são enganosos. Mas embora as pessoas estejam cientes de que os sentimentos são enganosos, há muitas pessoas, who are still led by their feelings. They trust and rely on their feelings. They believe what they feel. And they let their feelings affect their decisions. Their feelings determine their words and actions. They know that feelings are deceptive, but knowing and doing are two different things. If Christians would know where feelings come from. And if they believed that feelings are deceptive and acted upon what they believe, the lives of many Christians would be so much different. What does the Bible say about feelings and not trusting your feelings? How can feelings deceive you?
The old man relies on his feelings
Feelings derive from the minds of people. The mind is directed (entre outros) by the senses and thoughts, which are often not based on reality. Someone can create thoughts or imaginations by himself or through the words of others, and their experiences. The devil can also cast thoughts in someone’s mind that can evoke feelings.
Desde o velho anda segundo a carne, the feelings rule in the life of the old man. Look at the many examples in the Old Testament. The people were led by their feelings. Their feelings influenced and determined their decisions. And in the end, they were being deceived by their feelings.
Tomemos por exemplo Caim, Esaú, Sansão, Davi, Salomão and Amnon. They followed their feelings above the words of God. Instead of being prosperous and yielding a profit, it yielded the opposite. Although God had warned them, they didn’t resist their feelings. Like, por exemplo, Joseph did, when he resisted the temptation of Potifar’s wife. Potiphar’s tried to seduce Joseph and lead him into sin. But Joseph stayed faithful to the words of God and didn’t give in to the temptation. (Leia também: Davi era um homem após o coração de Deus?).
The new man relies on the words of God
Although feelings are leading in the life of the old man, feelings should not be leading in the life of a born-again Christian, que se tornou um nova criação; um novo homem. Since the new man, has laid down his sinful flesh (natureza maligna). And his spirit, que ressuscitou dos mortos, reigns over the soul and body.
The new creation isn’t led by the flesh. But the new creation is led by the Word and the Holy Spirit. Not just in church, on Sundays. Not just a few hours a week or a day. Mas 24 horas por dia, sete dias por semana.
It is not a matter of ‘have to’ mas 'quero'. Porque o novo homem, que é criado depois do imagem de Deus, has a new nature (A natureza de Deus). The new man doesn’t want to live like the old man. Because the old man is led by his sinful nature and the kingdom of darkness.
Because the Holy Spirit dwells in the person, the person is drawn to sanctification. The person shall put off the works of his or her old life.
People are the crown of God’s creation
The devil has one purpose and that is to destroy. Nothing that the devil promises is based upon truth but on lies. The devil misleads and tempts through lies. As soon as he enters a person’s life, he destroys the life of the person from within. That is the devil’s strategy, which he used from the beginning of creation and still uses, to take the crown of God’s creation, pessoas, possess them, e destruí-los.
The territory of the devil is the flesh; the soul and the body. As long as a person remains the old man, the person is controlled by the soul and body, which possess the sinful nature in which the devil is active.
The devil possesses those, que pertencem à geração do homem caído. They belong to him and together with his minions (demônios) he controls their lives.
What is the work of demonic powers?
Demons need bodies to manifest themselves and cause destruction. They enter the lives of people through diverse channels. As soon as they enter, they carry out their mission, which leads to the destruction of people. They control the lives of many people, via the mind and feelings, that become visible through the words and the actions and works of people.
They speak through the minds of people, by casting thoughts into their minds.
He cast thoughts, that go against God’s Word and create all kinds of (unnatural) sentimentos, that deviate from the truth of God and are based upon lies.
They determine the actions of the person. And the person is under the assumption that those feelings belong to his/her nature and derive from God. Mas isso é mentira!
Feelings that contradict the Word of God and lead to pecado, never derive from God. Despite what people, including religious leaders, dizer.
Que nenhum homem diga quando for tentado, Estou tentado por Deus: pois Deus não pode ser tentado pelo mal, neither tempteth he any man: Mas todo homem é tentado, quando ele é atraído por sua própria luxúria, e seduzido. Então, quando a luxúria concebeu, isso traz o pecado: e pecado, quando terminar, traz a morte (James 1:13-15)
Many feelings like angriness, desapontamento, ciúme, tristeza, autocomiseração, temer, rejeição, depressão, (sexual) luxúria, perversity, e assim por diante, derive from the kingdom of darkness. Depende do povo, what they do with those feelings.
It’s not about, what causes those feelings, and how do feelings come. But it’s all about resisting those feelings and taking authority over those feelings, through the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit (James 4:7)
Why Christians don’t recognize demonic powers?
There are not many Christians, who are spiritual and discern the spirits, and recognize the power of the devil.
If Christians were spiritual, they would have recognized the devil and his works long ago. And the lives of Christians and the state of the church and the state of many countries would be different than they are Today.
Most Christians are unspiritual and world-like. They may speak about demonic powers and activity, through the knowledge, they gained through Christian books, cursos, Seminários, e conferências, but they don’t experience and see nothing spiritually. (Leia também: Lutando contra um inimigo invisível).
Through the unspiritual state of the church and the lack of knowledge and ignorance, the devil continues his destructive works, without the interference of Christians,. The devil takes more and more ground into his possession.
He takes the ground, that people allow him to have. The greater the apostasy of God, Sua Palavra, e o Espírito Santo, the more ground he gets. (Leia também: A escuridão extingue a luz).
We see an increase in demonic activities by (mental and bodily) doença, doença, epidemias, depressão, suicídio, crime, violência, assassinato, impureza sexual e perversidade, fornicação, adultério, divórcios, children rebelling against parents and authorities, etc..
The devil makes people doubt their nature
The devil causes many Christians to doubt their nature. He cast many thoughts in their minds, that cause feelings, that try to persuade them to believe, that they are not as they should be. Demonic powers enter the lives of people and cast thoughts into their minds that influence their feelings and cause them to doubt (por exemplo) their sexual nature.
They continue to persuade them with his lie. Until they believe in the lie of the devil, that they are the way they feel and that they are born that way.
But as soon as a thought enters the mind that causes feelings that go against the Word of God, the spiritual alarm bells should ring.
What does God say about homosexuality?
What does God say about homosexuality? The Bible says that God created man and woman and they will become one flesh. This is the will of God. Deus, Quem é o Criador do céu e da terra e de tudo o que existe dentro, made this institution.
Everything that deviates from this institution by God, like man with man and woman with woman or a man in women’s clothing and woman in man’s clothing, is an abomination to God, as is written in the Bible, and is contrary to His will. (Levítico 18:22-30, Deuteronômio 22:5; 23:17, 1 Reis 14:24, 2 Reis 23:7).
Não te deitarás com a humanidade, como com a mulher: é abominação. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Não vos contamineis em nenhuma dessas coisas: porque em todas estas estão contaminadas as nações que eu expulso de diante de ti. E a terra está contaminada: portanto, visito a sua iniqüidade sobre ele, e a própria terra vomita os seus habitantes.
“Se um homem também se deitar com a humanidade, como ele se deita com uma mulher, ambos cometeram uma abominação”
Portanto, guardareis os meus estatutos e os meus juízos, e não cometerá nenhuma dessas abominações; nem qualquer um de sua própria nação, nem qualquer estranho que peregrine entre vós: (Pois todas essas abominações cometeram os homens da terra, que estavam antes de você, e a terra está contaminada;) Que a terra não vomitar você também, quando você o contaminar, como vomitou as nações que foram antes de você.
Pois qualquer um que cometer qualquer uma dessas abominações, até mesmo as almas que os cometem serão extirpadas do meio de seu povo. Portanto, guardareis a minha ordenança, que não cometais nenhum desses costumes abomináveis, que foram cometidos antes de você, e que nela não vos contamineis: Eu sou o Senhor teu Deus. (Levítico 18:22-30)
Se um homem também se deitar com a humanidade, como ele se deita com uma mulher, ambos cometeram uma abominação: eles certamente serão mortos; seu sangue será sobre eles. (Levítico 20:13)
Não haverá prostituta das filhas de Israel, nor a sodomite (para homossexual) of the sons of Israel. (Deuteronômio 23:17)
What does the Bible say about homosexuality after the redemptive work of Christ?
Even after the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the new creations, Paulo, who was a representative of Christ, testified that homosexuality is not according to God’s will. Paul wrote that abusers of themselves with mankind shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Não sabeis vós que os injustos não herdarão o reino de Deus? Não se deixe enganar: nem fornicadores, nem idólatras, nem adúlteros, nem efeminado, nem abusadores de si mesmos com a humanidade (homossexualidade), Nem ladrões, nem cobiçoso, nem bêbados, nem injuriadores, nem extorsores, herdarão o reino de Deus (1 Coríntios 6:9-11)
Paul represented Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit abode in him. Ele disse, God would reject those, who rejected God and His truth (which can be found in the Bible), and replaced His truth with lies, and exalted and served the creation above the Creator. Paulo escreveu:
And therefore God gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, para desonrar seus próprios corpos entre si: who changed the truth of God into a lie, e adorou e serviu a criatura mais do que o Criador, quem é abençoado para sempre. Amém.
“Their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature and likewise also the men, deixando o uso natural da mulher”
Por isso Deus os entregou a afeições vis: pois até mesmo suas mulheres mudaram o uso natural para o que é contra a natureza: E da mesma forma também os homens, deixando o uso natural da mulher, queimados em sua luxúria uns para com os outros; homens com homens trabalhando o que é impróprio, e recebendo em si mesmos aquela recompensa de seu erro que foi cumprida.
E assim como eles não gostaram de reter Deus em seu conhecimento, Deus os entregou a uma mente réproba, fazer coisas que não são convenientes; Estando cheio de toda injustiça, fornicação, maldade, avareza, maldade; cheio de inveja, assassinato, debate, engano, malignidade; sussurradores, Caluniadores, odiadores de Deus, apesar de tudo, orgulhoso, fanfarrões, inventores de coisas más, desobediente aos pais, Sem entender, violadores de convênios, sem carinho natural, implacável, impiedoso: Quem conhecendo o julgamento de Deus, que aqueles que cometem tais coisas são dignos de morte, não apenas faça o mesmo, mas tenha prazer naqueles que os praticam (Romanos 2:21-32)
Would Jesus accept homosexuality?
Some ‘Christians’ use Jesus, to justify and approve of homosexuality. They say that Jesus didn’t say anything about homosexuality. Therefore they reject all the other Scriptures about homosexuality in the Bible, that derive from God and speak the truth, namely that homosexuality is not God’s will.
But Jesus is the living Word, Who became flesh and lived among the people. Jesus disse, that He represented His Father. Jesus came in His Name and spoke the words of His Father. Because Jesus and the Father are One. (John 1:14, 5:30, 5:43, 8:16, 8:19, 8:38, 10:30 14:9 20:21)
The Almighty God has spoken. He has made Sua vontade known regarding homosexuality and transgender people.
The Bible describes homosexuality as a work of the flesh and belongs to the nature of fallen man.
Homosexuality occurred among the pagan nations. Because this occurred among the pagan nations and God didn’t want His people to be defiled by the unclean practices, cultura, and customs of the pagan nations, it is mentioned in the law (Leia também: Qual é o segredo da lei?).
Since Jesus is the Word and Jesus and the Father are One, Jesus thinks the same way as His Father does.
Jesus revealed sin and testified of man’s evil works; que é pecado. Jesus chamou o povo ao arrependimento and to remove sins. He witnessed of God’s righteousness, just like the Holy Spirit. (Lucas 5:32, John 7:7, 16:8-9).
“From the beginning of the creation God made them male and female”
Jesus disse, that God created man and woman and they would become one flesh. This verse by itself confirmed the creation, as palavras, e a vontade de Deus.
The words of Jesus prove that the marriage covenant is instituted by God between a man and a woman and not between two persons of the same gender (Mateus 19:5, Marca 10:7).
Jesus também disse, que só aqueles, who do the will of the Father shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Mateus 7:21).
Homossexualidade is not according to the will of the Father. Portanto Deus, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will never justify and approve homosexuality. (Leia também: Deus mudará Sua vontade de acordo com as concupiscências e desejos das pessoas?)
The power of the world
O mundo (o sistema mundial) can justify and tolerate every evil work, isso vai contra a Palavra de Deus. But that should not come as a surprise. Since the world belongs to the devil. The devil is the god and the ruler of this world. E todos, who belongs to him shall listen to him and believe his lies and consider them as the truth.
Since the church has become world-like, many Christians also believe what the world says. Eles acreditam, assim como o mundo, in the devil’s lies.
The church of Christ doesn’t act in the authority of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. But the church thinks she can do it by herself and relies on her own knowledge, percepções, e habilidade. Os crentes, Quem é a igreja, are not spiritual but carnal and rely on their flesh.
Portanto, they don’t recognize demons and demonic powers anymore. Em vez de, they allow demons to continue their destructive works in the lives of people.
They don’t do what Jesus has commanded to do. They don’t deliver people and set them free, by telling the truth of God and casting out demons. Em vez de, they give their approval to demons (Anjos caídos), who control and terrorize the lives of people and eventually destroy them.
Feelings have become the final authority in the lives of many Christians
Little by little, everything that deviates from the Word and contradicts the will of God is slowly justified and accepted. The Bible is no longer the final Authority in the lives of many Christians. Em vez de, feelings and experiences are the final authority in many Christian’s lives.
Believers live according to what their feelings tell them and dictate them to do. Everything revolves around feelings.
The man doesn’t feel like a man, but a woman. A woman doesn’t feel like a woman, but a man. And some people don’t feel like being a man or a woman. And they act according to what their feelings and minds say and dictate them to do. By believing and obeying their feelings and acting upon them, they give access to the demon power of lust and perversity that will control their lives.
Feelings belong to the flesh
Are there feelings present? Absolutamente, but these feelings derive from the flesh, em que a natureza pecaminosa está presente. And as you now, the sinful nature contradicts every commandment and word of God.
The flesh is enmity against God, because it doesn’t want to yield to God but is prideful and walks in pride and rebellion (Oh. Romanos 8:6-8)
Medical science can come up with all kinds of medical explanations. And the church may say, that they are born that way.
Someone can say: “I feel this way, and therefore I am this way”, “I am born this way, it is my sexual nature" ou “God has created me this way.”
Maybe you are born that way, since everyone is born in a fallen state as a sinner. But God has not created you that way. These unclean feelings, that will lead to sin, don’t derive from Him.
Through the sin and fall of man every person, who is born of the seed of man is affected by sin; pelo mal. Because the seed of man carries sin and death.
God has created you. But the sin reigns in the flesh of the carnal man. Every person is born as um pecador. Portanto, cada pessoa precisa ser renascido to escape the judgment of God and to inherit eternal life.
Every person is born with the devil’s nature, who resists against every word and mandamento de Deus. The devil rebels against everything that God has ordained. He reveals himself in the flesh of fallen man, by the works of man.
Feelings of lust and desires for someone of the same gender that causes unclean sexual activity and leads to sin, derive from the devil and not from God.
What is the way of deliverance?
A person can be born with a certain (sexual) nature or experience feelings, that do not line up with God’s Word. But no one has to stay that way.
God has made a way out for everyone, quem nasceu nesta terra. God loves people and wants to have a relationship with people. Just like at the beginning of criação, when everything was perfectly created and God walked with man. That’s what God wanted (Leia também: Religião ou relação?)
God didn’t want puppets and yea-sayers. That’s why God created free will in man, so that man could make his own decision, to obey God or to disobey God.
Por amor, Deus deu Seu Filho unigênito, to redeem fallen man, who’s a sinner and is trapped in the sinful flesh and lives under the authority of the kingdom of darkness.
Jesus Cristo, o Filho de Deus, came to restore fallen man. He came to make up for the sin of Adam, o primeiro filho de Deus na terra, e reconciliar o homem de volta com Deus (John 3:16).
In complete obedience to God, Jesus yielded Himself to God.
Jesus went the hard way of suffering. He gave His own life for the people. Para que todos, who would believe in Him could be redeemed from his sinful nature and reconciled with God. (Leia também: Jesus restaurou a posição do homem caído).
The sinful nature in the flesh possesses the character of the devil and does the works of the devil, que vão contra a vontade de Deus. A natureza pecaminosa, can’t submit to God and His will. É por isso que, the sinful nature must die in Christ before the spirit of man can be raised from the dead and follow Jesus.
The new man submits to God and does His will
Apenas, when the spirit of man is being raised from the dead, the person becomes spiritual and is able to submit to God and do His will.
But as long as the spirit of man stays dead, the flesh shall reign. The person shall continue to walk in sin and will not be able to remove the sins. No matter how much effort the carnal man puts into it, and how much the carnal person is trying. The person won’t succeed.
Because only by the spirit of man, a palavra, e o poder do Espírito Santo, the person is able to remove sins completely.
Jesus didn’t come to judge the world, mas para salvar o mundo, através arrependimento e regeneração. Jesus disse:
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; mas para que o mundo por Ele seja salvo. Quem crê Nele não está condenado: mas quem não crê já está condenado, porque não creu no Nome do Filho unigênito de Deus. E esta é a condenação, que a luz veio ao mundo, e os homens amavam mais as trevas do que a luz, porque suas ações eram más. For every one that doeth evil hates the light, nem vem para a luz, para que seus atos não sejam reprovados. But he that doeth truth comes to the light, para que seus atos sejam manifestos, que eles são feitos em Deus (John 3:17-21)
The call to repentance and sanctification
Infelizmente, they don’t preach regeneration and the true meaning of baptism, the baptism with the Holy Spirit. And because many Christians don’t study the Bible by themselves, but are led by the words of preachers, Anciãos, and religious leaders of churches, they stay ignorant.
E todos nós sabemos, that if you don’t know it, você não pode andar nele. É por isso que, the lives of many Christians don’t change. They stay carnal and persevere in sin.
Some Christians pray to God to take away those (homossexual) sentimentos. But the Word of God says that you shouldn’t pray for the deliverance of demons, in the case of homosexuality a spirit of lust, but to cast out demons. You should not beg but speak in the authority of Jesus Christ.
God has given all authority to His Son Jesus Christ. And God has given everything to the new creation, que nasceram de novo em Cristo, to lead a victorious life eun Christ Jesus.
Através de Jesus Cristo, Christians have received power and authority to resist the devil and rule over demonic powers and command them to leave their life.
Christians have been given power to resist the devil
As long as Christians walk after the flesh, they shall be led by their thoughts and feelings and shall always give in to the lusts and desires of the flesh. Because the flesh keeps begging and screaming.
But when Christians have received a new nature (A natureza de Deus) through regeneration in Christ and renew their minds with the Word of God and walk after the spirit in obedience to the Word and the Holy Spirit, they shall resist those feelings, in the authority of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, and command those feelings, que não se alinham com a Palavra de Deus, to leave
They shall take God’s Word in your mouth, which is the spiritual Sword wherewith you fight against principalities, Poderes, os governantes das trevas deste mundo, and spiritual wickedness in high places until those feelings are gone and you gain victory.
Jesus nowhere said, to ask the Father to deliver you. Não, Jesus said in My Name (autoridade) they shall go and cast out devils (Marca 16:17)
But if the church doesn’t believe in demonic powers and spiritual wickedness and activity.
If the church doesn’t believe in the deliverance of demons. Mas em vez disso, the church believes in psychology and mental illnesses, natural causes, and the terms and methods of the world, and refers people to psychologists and médicos. Como pode alguém, who needs help be delivered and set free from demonic powers and the power of darkness?
Exatamente, they can’t. E é exatamente isso que o diabo quer; a passive church, passive carnal Christians, who have no true knowledge of God’s Word, Sua vontade, Reino, and the spiritual war between Light and darkness. So that the devil can continue his destructive work and steal, matar, e destruir.
A igreja tornou-se impotente
Devido ao fato, that the majority of the churches have become powerless, because they didn’t obey the Chefe da igreja; Jesus Cristo; a palavra, and didn’t do what Jesus commanded them to do and the Holy Spirit is not in their midst, because of all the (sexual)uncleanness that takes place and is justified, they accept the evil sinful works of the people.
They accept the sins of the people because they are not able to teach and guide them into the truth and deliver them from the yoke of the sinful nature, that produces bad fruits in their lives.
They are not aware of demonic activities, which makes more and more victims. Muito menos, to deliver the people from the yoke of the devil.
But because they are unspiritual and live like the world, they also believe in a natural cause. They believe in the lies of the world. The lies that say that it’s someone’s nature and that a person is born that way. Although science can’t prove that. You are talking about It is someone’s feelings. And because you should respect the person, you should not interfere and tell the truth and say that it’s wrong.
But the Bible is very clear. A Bíblia diz, que aqueles, who are carnal and walk after the lust, desejos, and will of the sinful nature of the flesh, não deve entrar no Reino de Deus. Muito menos, inherit the Kingdom of God. They are lost.
God shall not accept any excuse
The excuses and lies that are preached, used, and believed by religious leaders of the church, shall not be tolerated and accepted by Jesus, nor by God on the Day of Judgment. Because God is a holy and righteous God.
God gave everything to man to be redeemed from the old man, who is carnal and carries death. Jesus has given His own life to execute God’s plan of redemption for fallen man.
God has given His Holy Spirit to reveal the truth and lead everyone, que nasceu de novo em Cristo, into the truth of the Word of God, que representa a vontade de Deus.
God has warned enough, through the Word and the prophets, e os apóstolos.
Therefore there will be no excuse, before the throne of God, to justify the works of the devil.
There will be no excuse for everyone, who has believed the lies of the devil. The lies, that you are born that way, or that it’s part of the modern age, or that God created you that way and that you can’t help it.
As long as you live, Há esperança. Every minute you can turn to God and repent and give your life to Jesus Christ and follow Him. Because that’s the will of God. God wants every person to come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved from (eterno) morte
Was I deceived by my feelings the whole time?
Only when you die to the flesh, durante sua vida na terra, e seu espírito ressuscitou dos mortos, and you live according to what the Word and the Holy Spirit say, then you shall enter the strait gate and walk on the narrow way that leads to eternal life.
But if you don’t do that and allow your flesh to reign in your life on earth and you walk on the broad way, you shall not inherit eternal life, despite what pastors, profetas, evangelistas, elders or other religious leaders, and fellow Christians say.
Cada pessoa tem que lidar com Jesus; the Word as Saviour or as Judge. Depende de você, what you choose.
It’s better to find out now, that you are deceived by your feelings, than that you keep believing the lies of the devil and persevere in sin and in due time stand before the throne of God and then find out, that your whole life, you were being deceived by your feelings.
‘Seja o sal da terra’
