On the Hagmann and Hagmann Report,
Doug and Joe often have that clip of Andy Rooney “If I were the
Devil”, where he goes on to describe exactly what is going on in
modern America. It's a good common sense way to approach what exactly
the enemy of humanity may be up to. So let me add to this and say if
I were the Devil in the Church, this is what I would do.
The first thing I would do would be to
convince those who confess Jesus as their Christ that there is no
real Devil, and that a Christian cannot have a demon. I would go as
far as convincing them that there is no hell and even no sin. That
sounds like the opposite of what the Bible says, but with the right
mind control it has happened in many so called Churches.
I would also bring in manipulated
Bibles and twist the scripture subtly at first, and then blatantly
after they had lost their soundness of mind. Then I could convince
them of basically anything I wanted to - like a secret pre-tribulation
rapture where they'll get rescued from the great tribulation. This
would disarm them from getting prepared for the end times, and make
cowards out of them when trouble comes.
What it comes down to people is: do
you have a love for the truth? If you are a truth seeker and love the
truth, then you're going to be fine. In the end, you'll find Jesus
Christ is that truth you've always loved.
I would rather hang out with a person
who is honest and loves the truth, but isn't a professing believer –
than a professing believer who doesn't love the truth. And if a
person says they love Jesus, but isn't interested in the truth in all
aspects of life and this world, then they don't know who Jesus is,
cause he is the truth of everything!
For instance, say there is this
watered down professing Christian who just goes on and on about how
much they love Jesus. So, you start talking to them and you discern
that they are luke-warm, you wonder if they are even born-again or if
they are a lover of the truth. So, you ask them a question to test
the Spirit and see if they are of God or not. The question you come
up with is: what do you think about Joel Osteen?
If they say he is a good pastor and a
wonderful Christian, then you mention to them the facts of his
apostasy and see what they say THEN. If, when you present the many
accounts of Joel Osteen's unBiblical views – they won't listen or
aren't interested in the facts and they continue to support this
apostate, then you can discern easily that they have not the Spirit
of Truth in them. They have the spirit of error.
See how easy it is? You can ask many
different questions like this one, but all you need to find out is if
they love the truth or not. It's acceptable for a person to simply be
deceived and be ignorant that Joel Osteen is an apostate, but when
presented with the evidence and they outright reject it without any
interest in the truth of it, then they have proven to not have the
Spirit of Truth, which is Jesus Christ.
I say this coming from experience,
because I too watched Joel Osteen 8 years ago with tears in my eyes.
I read his books and bought extras to give away! Yet, if someone
would have come up to me in love and in the Spirit of God and told me
the facts about this apostate, then I would have at least been
interested in looking into these claims. Why? Well, because I've
always loved the truth above everything else.
I love the truth so much, that if I
found out that Jesus Christ isn't the truth then I would stop
believing in Him. My biggest obedience has always been to the truth,
and nothing else matters. Only the truth will remain after the lies
go away. After the illusion passes and fades, only the truth will
REMAIN!
Just because a person says they love
Jesus, doesn't mean they do. Do they love the truth? If you told them
about the truths of the world we live in and they rejected what you're saying and instead believed Rush Limbutt, then are they lovers of
the truth?
Honestly, I think the remnant
church in America consist mostly of people who aren't even professing
Christians yet, but they're simply people who love the truth.
Personally, I can't stand hanging around people who profess they are
Christians, but they aren't interested in the truth about all aspect
of life and this world. To me, they're simply deceiving themselves
and others who don't love the truth.
There are many truth seekers who want
nothing to do with Christianity, because all they see is liars in the
so called Church! I don't blame them, they are being honest. Someone
who is honest and says they don't believe in the Bible, is much
closer to God, then the person who says they believe but doesn't.
Which one are you? Are you honest or a liar?
The person who loves the truth will
desire nothing but the truth no matter what. If that means Christians
can have a demon or that they'll have to be here through the great
tribulations, then so be it. A person who doesn't love the truth,
doesn't mind believing a lie if it gives them something they
want. Hence, they don't want to believe they can have a demon and
that they'll have to suffer, so like magic they say: I don't have a
demon and I'm going to escape all suffering. Lies...
Anyone who simply looks at people
today, including born-again Christians who love the truth, will see
they have demons, curses, and soul ties. It's obvious that in the
scriptures many people who believed in Jesus had demons they needed
cast out. Believing in Jesus wasn't enough to get delivered from
demons, they needed deliverance! Over and over there are examples
throughout the Gospels!
Just as over and over it's blatantly
obvious that there is no pre-trib rapture! Someone is either ignorant
and hasn't been approached with the truth, or they simply don't love
the truth enough to look into it and believe the truth- to continue with this blatant doctrine of demons.
Remember, there can only be one truth!
Not trillions of truths, only ONE TRUTH!
So, either you have a love of the one
truth, or you don't. Which one are you?
God is truth, hallelujah!
