當聖靈從天降臨，耶穌基督的門徒被聖靈充滿時, 他們不能再對耶穌基督保持沉默, but they had to tell the Truth and call the people to repentance. Unlike today, where most Christians stay silent and barely preach Jesus the Christ, the Savior of mankind and call the people to repentance, 但相反, they let the people remain in their sins and leave the people to their fate. On Sunday they confess their faith, but the rest of the week, they live in silence as undercover Christians. But if Christians stay silent, who shall set the captives of darkness free and who shall save the souls of man?
Who shall set the captives of the kingdom of darkness free if the truth is concealed?
The Bible is God’s Word and contains the truth, 生活, and the power of God. The Bible is so powerful, that there is no other book in the world that is so controversial and even forbidden in some countries.
The devil fears the words of God, because the words of God are the truth. He knows that the Bible is the only Book, which exposes the lies of the devil and saves mankind from the power of sin and death, and reconciles mankind with God by faith and regeneration in Christ (哦. 約翰 3:3-8, 羅馬書 3:23-24, 1 哥林多前書 15:50-57, 歌羅西書 2:9-15) .
Therefore the devil does everything in his might to keep Christians far away from the Bible and keep them ignorant and make them passive.
The devil distracts them with the cares, 分心, and things of this world and keeps them carnal, so that they’ll be focussed on themselves and walk after the flesh.
This way they shall not know the truth and will of God and stay silent about the Truth and the devil can keep his sons.
The devil has infiltrated in many churches and has deceived many and ensured that the true gospel, 上帝的旨意, and the walk after the Spirit are no longer preached and practiced. The truth has been replaced by half-truths, which are focused on the temporary carnal life on earth and ensure that people keep living in sin.
The boldness and the confronting hard words of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit have been replaced by pleasant gentle humanistic words, which derive from the spirits of this world, and satisfy the carnal people and stroke their ego
But is this the will of God?
神的旨意
I exhort therefore, 那, 首先, supplications, 祈禱, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 因為有一個神, 以及上帝與人之間的一個調解人, 男人基督耶穌; 誰給自己贖金, 在適當的時候作證 (1 蒂莫西 2:1-6)
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, 他可能會使我們擺脫當前的邪惡世界, 根據上帝的意願和我們父親的意願: To whom be glory for ever and ever. 阿們 (加拉太書 1:3-5)
因為這是神的旨意, 甚至你的成聖, 你們應當禁戒淫亂: 你們每個人都應該知道如何擁有自己的器皿成聖和榮耀; 不在於情慾, 就像不認識神的外邦人一樣 (1 帖撒羅尼迦人 4:3-5)
這是神的旨意, that every man be saved and live holy. God doesn’t want any person to perish.
God didn’t create hell for man, but hell was created for the devil, 和天使們, who followed their leader, 魔鬼, and because of their disobedience to God, fell from their position, just like him.
然而, after the fall of man from his position, things changed and the sons of the devil, who belong to him and listen to him and follow him, will go to the same destination.
This is not the will of God, but the choice of mankind, who chooses to listen, obey and follow the devil, 這個世界的統治者.
Preach the truth of the Kingdom of God
In order to prevent that many souls perish, Jesus commanded us to preach the truth of the Kingdom of God and call the people to repentance.
有很多人, who are prisoners of darkness and live in the bondage of darkness and are looking for deliverance. They do everything they can, however many times they search in the wrong places.
最糟糕的是, 那個人, who say they believe and think they live in the Kingdom of God and are filled with the Holy Spirit and therefore should possess the Truth, and the Way to salvation and the Life, don’t help the people in need and don’t give them what they need, 但相反, they direct them to the darkness; to people, who have taken the place of God and think they can help people with their human intellect and their carnal methods, technics and means.
那些, 誰說他們相信, don’t trust in the Almighty God and His Word, but because they are carnal and see with carnal eyes, they trust in the world; in the worldly expertise of man, 對上帝的愚蠢. Because the cause of the problems is not in the natural realm but in the spiritual realm.
Only someone with a higher authority than the rulers of the kingdom of darkness can help people and redeem and save people.
Jesus didn’t stay silent but preached the gospel
主的精神在我身上, 因為他膏了我向窮人傳授福音; 他送我治癒了傷心的人, 向俘虜講道, 並回到盲人, 設定有瘀傷的自由, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord (路克 4:18-19)
Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and called God’s people to repentance. Jesus walked in the Name of His Father; 他的權威. There was no higher authority and no greater power than His authority and power.
God the Father has given all authority and power to His Son Jesus Christ and all those, 誰重生了, and have died and have been resurrected in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, 並接受了聖靈, have all authority and power in Him on earth.
然後再次對他們說, 和平成為你: 當我父親寄給我時, 即使這樣寄給我你. 當他這麼說, 他呼吸了他們, 對他們說, 接受聖靈: 誰犯了誰的罪惡, 他們匯給他們; 你們的罪惡保留了, 他們被保留 (約翰 20:21-23)
They ought to do the same as Jesus and represent, preach and bring the gospel of the Kingdom of God to mankind, 奉耶穌基督的名; 在祂的權柄和聖靈的能力下 (馬修 28:18-19, 馬克 16:15-18, 路克 24:47-49, 約翰 20:21-23).
Who dares to speak the truth of God?
But who dares to walk according to the Word in the truth and who dares to speak the truth of God.
The truth of God is no longer considered as love. Because speaking the truth of God can cause indignation, 害怕, 愾, 攻擊性, and hate in people. People may feel hurt, 冒犯了, or attacked, 結果, you no longer be loved, people can’t stand your presence anymore and don’t want to hang out with you and you will lose people.
But hard words are often necessary to wake people up, lead them to repentance, and save them from destruction and reconcile them with God. Because without the preaching of the truth, many souls will be deceived and not repent, but perish in silence.
You don’t win people by saying what people want to hear. 井, you win them for yourself but not for God. You only win people for God by preaching the truth of God and call them to repentance (另請閱讀: ‘致電給 悔改和 ‘什麼是悔改?').
If Christians stay silent the access to the Kingdom of God will be prevented
通過再生, you are transferred from the kingdom of darkness, where the devil is lord and king, 向上帝的王國, where Jesus Christ is Lord and King.
The Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of Heaven and is above the kingdom of darkness, 地球的王國.
Jesus has given the keys of the Kingdom of God to His Body; 教會; the assembly of born-again believers, who have become sons of God.
The keys of the Kingdom not only represent authority, but also access to the Kingdom.
The believers have the keys of the Door to the Kingdom of God, 上帝啊, and have the answer and solution for everyone.
然而, the believers must stand up and speak out instead of remaining silent and go along with every wind of doctrine and submit to the spirits of this world and compromise (另請閱讀: ‘Are you bold enough to speak the truth?’).
不幸, many souls don’t find the Door to the Kingdom of God and eternal life, because of silent Christians, who are afraid to speak out the truth, since telling the truth can ensure that they will no longer be loved by those, who belong to the world and be rejected (另請閱讀: ‘為什麼世界討厭基督徒?')
他們沒有 計算成本 and are not willing to 付出代價.
As long as Christians remain silent about the truth, the devil can continue his destructive work
They are more concerned about the flesh than the spirit. Because first of all, they want to please people and don’t want to be rejected or be considered a fool. 第二, they don’t want to hurt people in their feelings and emotions, by telling them the truth. They want to prevent people, 生活在罪惡中的人, from feeling attacked, 冒犯了, 傷害, 可怕, 生氣的, and become hateful and aggressive and walk away angry and/or turn away from them.
And so many remain silent about the truth of God, 和妥協, and allow people to live in sin. They don’t tell them where their sins lead to and don’t give them what they really need.
As long as Christians stay silent about the truth, the devil can continue his destructive work undisturbed and as a result, many souls will remain living in the bondage of darkness and eventually go down into silence to hell.
