STUDY XI. THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE

 

KNOWING THE ENEMIES TECHNIQUES 




DECEPTION & IGNORANCE. THE DEVILS MASTERPIECE.


Hosea 4:6 says that my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. The enemy comes to steal kill and destroy. John 10:10.


Isaiah 5:13 says that God's people are enslaved because of lack of knowledge. 


Ignorance of God's people gives the enemy a greater advantage to destroy and enslave them. We have to respond by seeking knowledge of God's word that we may be free. Jesus says that we shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free. John 8:32

Prov 11:9 says that the righteous shall be delivered through knowledge. It is the people who know their God that shall be strong and do exploits.


Seek to know Gods word. Don't wait for your pastor to read it to you on Sundays. Be hungry soak yourself in God's word. Devour it like a hungry lion. It's your deliverance. Seek to know God in prayer. Walk with Him daily. Grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus.


It is through the knowledge of our Lord Jesus that we find and receive everything pertaining to life and godliness and this also prevents us from being barren but always fruitful. 2Pet 1:3-10


1Tim 4:1 says that in the last days, many shall fall away from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. Seduction is the art of enticing someone from their current position to where you want them to be.

There are demons who's work is to seduce Christians away from the truth. They whisper that sin is not so serious, God is full of love, he will not cast anyone to help, they whisper that obedience is legalism and that grace means that God has changed His mind about sin.


The greatest lie is that once you are saved, you are always saved. You can never lose your salvation, however you live, simply because God is good. Many will listen to this enticement and lose their guard and start compromising in small things. They get hardened against sin and they can sin, they can lie, commit sexual immorality, blaspheme, speak evil of others without their conscience disturbing them.


Beware when you lose sensitivity to sin. Sin is serious.


Are there things you stopped doing when you got born again and now you are slowly going back to that vomit? Are there things you couldn't do in the first year of your Christian life that you are doing? Is your conscience becoming less sensitive or more sensitive to sin.


Jesus warned about deception in the last days. He warned that many preachers who do miracles signs and wonders and healings and many who call themselves prophets are deceivers. The first sign that you are listening to a false prophet is that you lose sensitivity to sin, and they bind you to them. Mat 24:10-12, Mark 13:22


Not all miracles are from God. Not all healings are from God and not all prophesies are from God.

John warns that we should not believe every spirit but test them to see whether they are from God. 1John 4:1, 1Thes 5:21. Test everything. Hold fast what is good. You should never listen to anyone with your mouth open nor assume that they are Gods messager. There are many preachers who are the mouthpiece of satan to deceive. Test everything they say or teach against the word of God. Be a Berean. Check with the word of God even if it is the apostle Paul himself preaching to you. Acts 17:10-11


Many will come to you in Jesus name, do miracles, perform healing, prophesy and yet live in sin privately. Jesus will say to them, depart from me for I never knew you, You workers of iniquity. Mathew 7:21-23. In the last day the most important thing will not be about your ministry but your relationship with sin especially in private.


Jesus warned that if a blind man leads a blind, both will fall in a ditch. Mat 15:14


Never give your heart to a mortal man. My Son, give me your heart. Prov 23:26. 


There are still true shepherds but they are few. These feed the sheep not try to impose themselves on them or control them. Jer 3:15, Ezek 34:1-13, John 21:15-17


You are blessed to be a blessing
