Warn Every One Night And Day With Tears, Part 2, Written by my Husband & Me

This blog is written by both my husband, Mel & Me

For I know this... grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember... I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. Acts 20:29-31

The warning theme on my heart for this blog has to do with demonstrations of a false holy spirit.  I cannot count how many videos on You Tube I have seen displaying this unclean spirit of Satan and declaring it to be from God.  I am shocked by the number of people who blindly accept this evil spirit as being from a Holy God.  They are absolutely being led astray by wolves pretending to be Jesus' sheep.

Before I go on, I want to let you know I made a video that also discusses this same issue titled "Do not be afraid of the Holy Spirit" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BiwZa-SW_g in case you are interested in watching it.

One of the main reasons Christians are being led astray is due to lack of knowledge.  People tend to just blindly follow their spiritual leaders without questioning them.  They do not want to actively seek out the Truth on their own.  Satan is counting on Christians to be lazy and just go with whatever is taught behind the pulpit on from a rich, well-polished "influencer" on the Internet.  Just as it is true with man's law, in God's law ignorance of the Truth is not an excuse to go do wrong.  You truly need to read it on your own and never take anyone's word for truth, not even mine.  Your very soul depends on doing your own research and arming yourself against the false teachers.

Please be aware that anything God does, Satan will do his best to imitate, this very much includes the gifts of the Holy Spirit.  Satan wants to make us all look foolish when we think we are worshipping God but are instead manifesting Satanic actions and therefore, worshipping the demons of hell.  If you have been involved in any Satanic practices, please repent, plead the blood of Jesus over yourself and do not return to such false fire.

The best person I can think of t0 explain what I wish to convey to you is my husband, Mel. This is an excerpt from a blog he wrote titled: "The Baptism of the Holy Spirit" https://swordofthespirit77.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-baptism-in-holy-spirit.html

I encourage you to read the entire blog.

"The apostle Paul teaches that gifts of the Spirit must be done in an orderly manner. (1 Cor 14: 26-33 How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification... For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.  And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.)

"We are living in the end times and there is a great apostasy (falling away from the truth) occurring within the churches. That is why it is crucial that believers use discernment concerning the manifestation of spiritual experiences.  (Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:1-3) There are many counterfeit revivals occurring with demonic signs and wonders that are deceiving many believers. Within these false revivals people are barking like dogs while crawling on the floor, mooing like cows and roaring like lions. Many are experiencing drunkenness to the point that they are being pulled over by the police after leaving a revival. Some people are even falling out on the floor in restaurants laughing hysterically. God is not the author of confusion or lawlessness, Satan is. Drunkenness, uncontrollable laughter, making animal sounds, sticking to the floor, heads shaking back and forth, are examples of the demonic manifestations occurring. (Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order.1 Corithians 14:39-40.)"

 "These same manifestations occur within Kundalini Hinduism, as well as other forms of occultism. David Wilkerson has some good videos exposing the demonic within Christianity. Many Christians are afraid of supernatural experiences because of the demonic manifestations, but we need to allow God’s true gifts to be in operation within the church. It is not good to quench God’s Spirit or to be afraid of it. For God does give visions, dreams, work miracles, heal the sick etc. We need to pray over experiences and use sound judgment. The reason for this unholy spirit that has invaded the church is loose living, as well as unsound doctrine. The preaching of holiness has been replaced by the lukewarm grace for everything doctrine."

"In order to live an overcoming Christian life in these dark times it is essential that we be filled with God’s Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God, he is the portion of God’s Spirit that indwells us, as well as ministers to us. It is God’s will that we all experience the fullness of God and that is only possible by receiving his Spirit."

Please be diligent, brothers and sisters, and do not let yourself be led astray by these false shepherds in wolves' clothing that are trying to fill you with a Satanic spirit.  If you witness any of these unholy behaviors at church, on-line, or at a revival, run away as fast as you can.

Warn Every One Night And Day With Tears, Part 1

At a very young age, we are all taught to go along with the crowd. We believe we should not speak out and be unpopular.  It is drummed into us that is more important to be liked than to stand up for holiness.  It is very difficult to find the courage to stand up for the Truths of the Bible when you know family, friends, and co-workers may reject you for not agreeing with them. Let me encourage you that the Bible tells us it is not our goal in life to please the worldly ways of our fellow humans, but to please God.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should NOT be the servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10

On my own, I am very shy and find it difficult to speak around more than a few people, even when they agree with me; it is ten times worse when they disagree.  It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that I can be bold and speak up for Jesus.  It is never my intent to target anyone specifically, nor to insult or anger anyone, but just to get you all to understand what the Bible says about the dangers that have the potential to send anyone to Hell.  It is out of love for you that I warn you.  If I didn't care, I would remain silent.

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31

God has been gently reminding me that as Christians, it is our job to warn those we see going to the wrong way.  We are not to be judgmental, of course, but to simply point out the Truths of the Bible.  This blog series is meant to be a warning against unholy practices that are flooding churches.  These standards do not come from me, but from a Holy God, and I will back them all up with scripture. 

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember... I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. Acts 20:29-31

Witchcraft is very accepted in the church. Don't believe me?  Sit in almost any church for even one service and take note as the congregation speaks about their favorite movies. Although I believe the entertainment industry in general is Satan's playground full of sexual perversions, the over-sexualization of children/pedophilia, violence, and the occult. I know not all shows are demonic, however, for the theme of this blog I am specifically referring to the many programs that glorify witches, spells, Buddhism, yoga, zombies, demons, false gods/god-hybrids, vampires, werewolves, and other characters that are full of magic (this includes curses that made them what they are) such as fairies, elves, and mermaids.  Look at the church goers' children and observe how many are wearing clothing depicting characters from these movies.  To make it even worse, the pastor(s). deacons, or other spiritual leaders who should be leading the church and listing all the many scriptures that speak out against witchcraft will tell you behind the pulpit how much he or she loves specific programs that are blatantly full of spells, witches, wizards, and the above-named creatures. Their own children have characters that represent witchcraft plastered all over their clothes as well.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:15 

Do not be deceived, God hates witchcraft (I will include scriptures at the end to show this).  Wicca is not some innocent hobby that is merely appreciating nature.  Ouija boards, tarot cards, as well as palm, face, tea, or other psychic readings are an abomination to God.  

I watched an interview where an ex-witch said how shocked she was by Christians wearing crystals, burning sage, engaging in yoga, and practicing other rituals that she and her coven would practice (she also included Halloween).  She also warned that these so-called innocent cartoons are filled with real spells (including hand movements, not just the words) and are corrupting not just children, but also the adults that invite these shows into their homes.  How many children are sleeping each night with a toy that represents a witch/wizard?  Does this child have unexplained nightmares?  Try cleansing their room of all the objects that are associated with the occult and see if peace comes back to them (and you).

I can give you quite a few scripture verses telling you that witchcraft is wrong.  Can you give me just one where God says it is okay? 

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain SORCERER... whose name was Barjesus... But Elymas the SORCERER (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. And said, "O full of all subtilty and all mischief, THOU CHILD OF THE DEVIL, THOU ENEMY OF ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS, wilt thou not cease to PERVERT THE RIGHT WAYS OF THE LORD? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season." And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. Acts 13:6-12

And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel [DEMONICALLY] POSSESSED with a SPIRIT OF DIVINATION met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. Acts 16:16 & 18

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, WITCHCRAFT, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and SORCERERS, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Revelation 21:8

And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used WITCHCRAFT, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger. II Chronicles 33:6

There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices WITCHCRAFT, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a SORCERER. Deuteronomy 18:10

And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used DIVINATION AND ENCHANTMENTS, and sold themselves to do EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, to provoke him to anger. 2 Kings 17:17

Walk in the Light

Growing up as a preacher's kid, my dad used to say that you can find a sermon in anything.  While this became a common joke in our family, there is a lot of truth to my dad's statement.  In fact, this blog proves that theory!  

When I noticed a black smudge on my foot, I assumed that the soap and hot water would simply wash it off, but it remained.  I had to use the washcloth and scrub to remove the mark. That got me to thinking how sin in our lives is just like that!  We may think it is something that will go away without any real effort on our part, but in reality, we need to work the on certain issues it to permanently remove them from our life.  

Philippians 2:12 reminds us that we cannot just go on our merry way and ignore the sins in our life, we must, "work out [our] own salvation with fear and trembling."  In other words, like that stain on my foot, we have to put forth the effort to be clean before the Lord.

To be clear, I am not saying I believe in a works-only salvation, Jesus' death on the cross is a free gift we do not have to earn, but based on what the Bible says, it is clear we can fall away from our salvation if we actively live in rebellion against the rules of Jesus Christ. Working on our salvation means we must daily ask for The Lord's Help in conquering our sins.  We cannot do it on our own. (And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross DAILY, and follow me. Luke 9:23)

My Bible reading this morning emphasizes the theme of this blog:

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly (other versions say "decently" or "honestly"), as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13: 11-14 

Just as II Corinthians 6:2 reminds us that "now is the day of salvation," so do the verses in Romans. And as Ephesians 5:14 instructs, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light," so the words in Romans also remind us to wake out of the darkness of sin and walk into the light of holiness!

Make no mistake, dear readers, the time is short!  Surely with all the end-time events happening, you have to be aware of it!  How much time do you think we have left on this planet? I sincerely doubt we have more than 10-20 years before the end of this world.  The signs are there: pandemics, wars, plagues of locusts, unusually strong weather, unexpected tornados, earthquakes, and other natural disasters in strange locations, even supernatural dust clouds appearing, rioting and chaos, the list goes on...  (Mark 13:8 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.") My point is that now is not the time to play around with fire, now is the time to wake up and walk into the light.  Work out your salvation and get rid of the sin in your life!

You may think a little bit of sin is no big deal.  A little lie here, a slipped swear word there, but I Corinthians 5:6 -7 says it differently (I exchanged the words leaven for yeast and lump for bread so that it is easier to understand), "Know ye not that a little [yeast rises] the whole [loaf of bread]? Purge out therefore the old [yeast] , that ye may be a new [loaf of bread], as ye are unleavened." (So you will be free from even the small sins damaging your soul.)

 While I do not believe all so-called small sins will cause us to lose our salvation, if we repeatedly choose to ignore these sins and refuse to try to change because we feel they are not as bad as murder or adultery, then the callus condition of your heart could send you to Hell.  That small amount of yeast can indeed ruin your soul. We need to purge ourselves of pride, racism, deceitfulness, bad language, unforgiveness, the occult etc. "The night is far spent," and the there is precious little time left! If you love the Lord and care about where you spend eternity, play close attention to the condition of your soul!  Now is the day to make your heart right with God! 

I will close with more words from II Corinthians 6 and also from Ephesians 5, please let these words sink into your heart and soul! ("Not to receive the grace of God in vain" means not to take advantage of God's favor by living a life full of sin, read on...)

We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says “In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God... by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left...

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”

Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters," Says the Lord Almighty.” II Corinthians 6:1-7, 14-18

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:1-21
