REALIZING RELIGION IS THE FOCUS OF EVIL TODAY
Greeting in the name of Jesus:
It is more important than ever before that we begin to realize how organized religion effects the fellowship and growth of the individual Christian's life Many false teachers and prophets are coming to us under the guise of religion to continue to tickle our ears with thoughts and words to keep us comfortable within our own doctrines because they know we are mostly too lazy to find out the truth for ourselves.
You see my friends pure evil knows this about humans more so than we know it ourselves, and the hate that evil has for God and for the creation that He has chosen to place all of His love and hope into will never stop until it can either become lord over all of creation or destroy everything that God loves. Evil will use everything it has to accomplish this goal because at this rebellious state there can be no turning back. It is not surprising in the least that among the very first things that have been used in our relationship with God has been the very methods that we are using to worship Him. These are among the most obvious places for the most devious among mankind to hide their sins because the pure of heart would never think to look for hidden sin where we are told the purest of thoughts should be found, and so we never do. It is, however, among the first places that Jesus looked when saw the church leadership within the Synagogues; and it is where He found the greatest hypocrisy; among those who put themselves in places of great esteem and trust. Jesus knew the greatest danger to those who wanted to find God would be found at the closest point of contact with God; those who were seen as the teachers of the law, and who were considered by the society around them as the most powerful in influence over the masses of people.
This strategy has never changed throughout the centuries since by taking the morally weak people who are still able to understand the truth yet be manipulated through their sin to shape attitudes and doctrines of those who worship God with the purest of intent, and yet who can be lead not by God's Spirit, but by the slight cunningness of other men. This is, unfortunately, the same ways that those who are in power within the governments of our world manipulate through shadow government control the minds and hearts of our societies. None of this is ever pleasant to think about, and yet it is becoming the standard by which this world operates. Our job, however, is to be witnesses to what Jesus has come to us to give us from the Father; it is the Good News of the sacrifice that Jesus has made through His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary.
There can be no other truth than that accepted by the Church. There is no other name or reasoning factor that can be used to work out our salvation other than through what we have already been given by Christ Himself, and that should never cause a division between us in fellowship or love for one another, and if it does then it is not of God's Spirit. As we begin this year in 2018 let us understand that this is among the greatest of questions we must ask, and settle among ourselves. We will not be allowed into the Kingdom of Heaven like we are, and this is becoming more and more clear as time passes.
God is not satisfied with the words we tend to shower upon Him in an effort of praise because those things are too often hollow. like praising someone within earshot for the purpose of influence. It never means that the praise is always genuine but is used many times to pump ego. God is never influenced in that way; He is influenced by our love alone, and the honesty of our heart. We can never call that religion, but what we can call it is a relationship. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
