Many churches allowed the spirit of the world to enter. Через це, many Christians don’t live holy lives after the Spirit in obedience to the Word, but have become like the world and live after the flesh. Many churches have become a ruin instead of a solid house of the Lord, just like the temple of God became a ruin in the Old Covenant. Instead of building on a solid Foundation, many have neglected the Foundation. They didn’t believe the words of God and didn’t build upon His Word. Замість цього, they believed in the words of man, who belong to the world and built upon their words. багато (помилковий) Пророків, who seem spiritual, Але насправді, don’t have the Spirit of God, have entered the church. They are carnal and don’t have the mind of Christ but they have the carnal mind of the world. Therefore they don’t prophecy from the heart of God, but from their own hearts’ desires and their own wisdom, знання, та інсайти.
How the temple became a ruin?
У Старому Завіті, there were many prophets that didn’t speak from God but from their own hearts. They thought they were sent and led by God and that God had spoken to them. Проте, God had not sent them and had not spoken to them.
These prophets hadn’t seen anything and spoke lying divinations. They spoke positive words and announced peace, while God had spoken through His true prophets and denied the peace, which was spoken of by these false prophets.
These false prophets had deviated from God and His Word. They didn’t live according to God’s will, but their own will. Через це, they didn’t speak the words of God, but they spoke their own words.
Although they were seated in the temple and maintained the customs, religious holidays, і (жертовний) rituals according to the закон Мойсея, their heart was far from God.
Many people lived in pride and rebellion against God. The people did all those things, which were evil in the eyes of God.
They committed adultery, enter into covenants with pagan nations and into marriages with their sons and daughters, and adopted the customs of the pagan nations. They spoke from their own hearts, знання, Мудрість, та інсайти. And so they defiled with their works and words the temple of God.
Due to their vain words and works, the glory of God departed from the temple and the temple became a ruin.
Bible Scriptures about the prophets of Israel
Таким чином, говорить Господь Бог; Горе нерозумним пророком, Це слідує за власним духом, і нічого не бачили! Ізраїль, Твої пророки схожі на лисиці в пустелях. Ви не піднялися в прогалини, Жоден з них не складав живоплот, щоб будинок Ізраїлю стояти в битві в день Господа.
Вони бачили марнославство та брехню ворожіння, кажучи, Господь говорить: і Господь не послав їх: і вони змусили інших сподіватися, що вони підтвердять це слово.
Ви не бачили марного бачення, і ви не говорили про брехливі ворожіння, тоді як ви скажете, Господь; хоч і я не говорив?
Тому таким чином говорить Господь Бога; Тому що ви говорили, і бачив брехню, тому, Ось, Я проти тебе, Саїт Господа Бога.
And Mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, і це божественна брехня: they shall not be in the assembly of My people, і вони не будуть записані на письмі Ізраїлевого дому, Вони також не ввійдуть у Землю Ізраїлю; і ви дізнаєтесь, що я Господь Бог.
Бо, even because they have seduced My people, кажучи, Мир; І миру не було; і один накопичив стіну, і, ось, Інші змазали його з непокіреним заводом: Скажи їм, що мазує його з непокіреним маритером, що воно впаде: буде переповнений душ; і ви, O Чудові град, впаде; і бурхливий вітер повинен його здійснити. Лоу, Коли стіна впала, це не буде сказано вам, Де мазуючий, з яким ви його мазали?
Тому таким чином говорить Господь Бога; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in My fury; і в моєму гніві буде переповнений душ, and great hailstones in My fury to consume it. Тож я зламаю стіну, яку ви мазали з непокіреним заводом, і підніміть його на землю, так що його фундамент був виявлений, і воно впаде, і ви споживаються посеред їх: і ви дізнаєтесь, що я Господь.
Thus will I accomplish My wrath upon the wall, і на них, які змащували його з непокіреним заводом, і скаже вам, Стіна більше не, ні вони, що його мазали; До кмітливості, Пророки Ізраїлю, які пророкують щодо Єрусалиму, і які бачать для неї бачення миру, і миру немає, Саїт Господа Бога (Єзекіїль 13:1-16)
Bible Scriptures about the prophetesses of Israel
Таким чином, говорить Господь Бог; Горе жінкам, які шиють подушки до всіх хребтів, і зробіть керхери на голові кожного росту, щоб полювати на душі! Will ye hunt the souls of My people, і ви врятуєте душі живими, які приходять до вас? And will ye pollute Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, вбити душі, які не повинні померти, і врятувати душі живими, які не повинні жити, Ви брехете моїм людям, які чують твої брехні?
Тому так свідчить Господь Бога; Ось, Я проти твоїх подушок, з чого ви там полюєте на душі, щоб змусити їх літати, І я вирву їх з ваших рук, і відпустить душі, Навіть душі, які ви полюєте, щоб змусити їх літати.
Твої керхії також я розриваюсь, and deliver My people out of your hand, і вони більше не будуть у вашій руці, щоб їх полювали; і ви дізнаєтесь, що я Господь.
Тому що з брехнею ви зробили серце праведних сум, кого я не засмучував; і зміцнив руки злого, що він не повинен повертатися зі свого злого шляху, обіцяючи йому життя: Тому ви не побачите більше марнославства, ні божественні божественні: for I will deliver My people out of your hand: і ви дізнаєтесь, що я Господь. (Єзекіїль 13:17-23)
The believers keep walking as the old creation
Since many believers don’t walk after the Spirit as the нове створення but keep walking as the old creation after the flesh, the same things that happened in the Old Covenant happen in the New Covenant. We see the same things in the lives of believers as the people of Israel experienced.
This is mainly because the nature of most people has not changed. Їх веде їхня плоть (відчуття, воля, почуття, емоції, плотський розум, тощо).
We see the same defilement of the temple of God in many churches; в житті людей.
Just like the leaders of the temple of God in the Old Covenant committed adultery, and enter into covenants with pagan nations, many church leaders also commit idolatry and adultery with the world by compromising with sin and by entering into covenants with the world
Believers are not able to stand in the spiritual battle
There are people that call themselves prophets but are not appointed by God. They are carnal and live like the world. They often misuse their position as prophet for personal gain. There are even prophets that only prophesy for money, just like the fortunetellers of the world, who predict the future for money.
These prophets are selfish and have not gone up into the gaps. They have not built up a spiritual hedge for the church, so that the believers, хто є церква, would grow up in the Word after the image of God and would spiritually mature. Так що, they would be able to stand in the spiritual battle (Колосяни 3:10, Ефесян 6:11-16, Джеймс 1:2-4).
These false prophets don’t stand in God’s service and have not spoken the words of God and have not led the believers on the way of God.
They are not led by the Holy Spirit and have not spoken His words, but they are led by their flesh and have prophesied from their flesh (душа); from their own heart, and their own spirit. Через це, they have made the crooked ways straight.
Believers walk on the same path as unbelievers
Many believers deviated from the Truth and walk in lies because of these false prophets. They walk in darkness on the same path as unbelievers and are on their way to the same destination. Although many expect another destination, but that’s because they’re misled and blinded by the lies of these so-called messengers of the word.
These false prophets don’t preach the truth and don’t correct believers.
They don’t call them to repentance and don’t tell them to remove the sins from their lives, so that they turn from their evil ways, which lead to eternal destruction.
Замість цього, they preach lies and encourage the sins in people’s lives. They allow the people to live in sin, whereby they stir up wickedness and encourage apostasy.
The false prophets don’t preach the spiritual dangers in the churches and don’t preach пустощі.
They only speak positive words and words of peace that everything is well, А насправді, it is not well.
They preach things in the Ім'я Ісуса, while Jesus hasn’t spoken through them by the Holy Spirit.
Through their vain words and their vain works, they try to catch as many souls as possible. They win them for themselves and bind them to themselves, all because of fame and personal gain.
The prophetesses in the church
Just like the false prophets, there are also many false prophetesses operating in the church. These prophetesses look pious and spiritual but in reality they’re soulish and prophesy from their flesh; out of their own hearts, розуміння, почуття, та емоції.
They use natural means, методи, і техніка to enter a supernatural state of trance to receive supernatural insights, Бачення, і слова.
They are carnal and prophecy according to what they perceive and feel in the natural realm, whereby they prophesy according to their own insights and what they want to see, instead of being led by the Holy Spirit and obey the words of God and prophecy from the Word through the Holy Spirit.
Since they exalt themselves above God and His Word, they walk in pride and exalt themselves above others.
They mislead and manipulate many believers. They sew magic charms on their sleeves and make veils upon their heads, so that they are captured and come under their power.
These believers believe in them. They trust in the words, which these prophetesses prophesy after their own hearts and many times are influenced by a spirit of divination.
They allow them to lead them, so that they become dependable on them.
This is the way these false prophetesses operate and gain many souls through deceptive manipulation and make them wander in ways in which the believers have no business.
Віруючі, who get involved with these false prophets and false prophetesses, who seem spiritual but in reality are soulish and prophecy from their own heart and soul, open themselves for the same spirits that operate in these false prophets. These spirits shall manifest themselves in their lives.
They will be led by a lying spirit and a spirit of divination. They shall speak the same lies and prophecy the same way as these false prophets and prophetesses, whereby they shall spiritually manipulate and bind other people to themselves and take (духовний) authority over them.
Why did so many churches become a ruin?
Because the Holy Spirit has been removed from many churches by the rejecting of the Word, many churches are no longer the light that shines in the darkness. The candlestick has been removed from many churches. Therefore the light has been extinguished and many churches are seated in darkness and have become a ruin.
The devil has not attacked the Church from the outside but from the inside. Many times through people, who have lived in the (окультний) realm and repented. Instead of removing their occult knowledge and practices from their lives, they have brought them into the church. Or through believers, who have slowly deviated from the Word and left God’s Way and have become world-like and influenced the church with their own carnal wisdom, knowledge and insights and their lives, which are full of sin.
These people ensured, that many churches have left the Word; правда, and wander on self-chosen ways.
The same lying spirit and spirit of divination that operated during the Old Covenant and during the days of the early Church, still operate today and have entered many churches.
Дух Святий, who abode in Jesus and in the apostles, who had become sons of God, warned the believers of these false prophets. І Святий Дух, who dwells in the sons of God, still warns the believers of these false prophets. (Матвій 7:15; 24:11-24, Марк 13:22, 2 Петро 2:1-3, 1 Джон 4:1-3).
But as long as believers don’t відставив старого, Хто ходить за плоттю, і не варто Одягніть нового чоловіка, who walks after the Word and the Spirit, they shall not be able to discern the spirits and shall trap into the lies of the devil.
As long as they remain unspiritual they focus on supernatural manifestations, досвід, and feelings instead of the Word.
Jesus tears the magic charms and removes the veils
But luckily there is still a way of restoration through repentance. Because just like God in the Old Covenant broke the magic charms and removed the veils, and redeemed the souls and restored His people and the temple when they repented, Jesus Christ still redeems and restores mankind in the New Covenant.
Jesus Christ tears the magic charms and removes the veils from those, who repent and turn to Jesus Christ and through регенерація in Christ become a son of God, who is obedient to Him.
Тих, who love Jesus with all their heart, розум, душа, and strength and listen to Him, yield to Him, і do His words in their lives shall walk in the light instead of darkness.
They shall discern the spirits and shall have knowledge of good and evil. They’ll represent and bring the Kingdom of God on earth. They shall be the light in the world and the salt of the earth, who through obedience to the Word and the Holy Spirit shall not always be loved by people but always be loved by God.
