“If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ And, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” Matthew 4:6
The spirit of evil and the devil is prevalent in the christian world, and the Lord is showing it to me clearly. And how the christians ideology of how it is with God is so different than that of God. Or in slime cases so similar it is hard to see the difference and put a finger on it, yet you know it is not right. To sum this point up and then expound on it, it is as necessary as ever to know and obey the voice of God, and to not rely on a bible or any other man teachings. Yeshua is the bread of life, nothing else.
Now Yeshua uses many things around you to teach you, but so does satan. Looking at the verse above we see how he quoted scripture to Yeshua to get him to do something, making it of God. But the difference is Yeshua only does what the Father tells him to do. So when satan says to do something to prove he is the son, of course he is not going to obey him.
Yeshua had this same problem with the Jewish leaders, they were always trying to trip him up and based it all on their traditions and laws. Many laws were added to the Torah, or changed. Yeshua was always arguing with them and showing them how they were wrong, and when they tried to trip him up, they always failed, because how are you going to confuse and trip up the son of God who has the same Spirit of God as the Father?
The Lord also gave me an interesting dream, the short of it was a beast that looked like a small bull and or small rhinoceros, this animal with horns that used them to strike in an upward direction. It came off the water area below me, went after my dog and poked her, and she spoke to me and said it “is very strong” and she retreated. Then this thing came at me, I grabbed it by its horn and threw it over the side back towards the water below, and just as quickly it came running back up and after me. I repeated this process three times and then woke up.
I did not understand the dream at first, but last night a guy came over and we were discussing things of God and the dream. He said it is some strong hold or spirit that keeps coming back. And then the Lord confirmed it and added that yes and you keep defeating it. And that just because you are truly born again, it does not mean the evil spirits won’t keep trying. If they tried with Yeshua they will try with everyone. And satan is the master, he has been doing it since the beginning.
So here is the interesting thing about this dream, I have three situations of people manipulating the so-called by the whore christian way. And they think they are right, but are not because they do not know the way and truth of God, some not even a little. The guy from last night knows it pretty well, but he has a manipulative spirit. And it is the way of the whore church system in many ways.
For example he keeps throwing at me the verse about do not forsake the gathering of the church. The reason why is because he wants to start a church and ministry and wants me to be a part of it mostly to fund it. In different ways he has come to me with bible verses about how we are all supposed to be and financially support each other. When I do not agree and follow him he gets upset and throws verses at me, to which I throw some back, just like Yeshua did to counter his demands. But in the end I tell him it all boils down to one thing, well two. Hear and obey Yeshua, not a bunch of bible verses that can be twisted. The funny thing is he either cannot see or does see but is deep with the devil and knows how to trick you. He tells me something trying to convince me I am wrong, and then he sides with me when I point out I am not, then comes back with a different attack. This goes on and we go around and around.
A second example is the lawsuit and how it is playing out. And what people think or how they think I should handle it. Which first and foremost, the Lord has taken me completely out of the picture. The suit is between my partner and the other guy, I am not named nor a part of it. And the lawyers do not even answer any of my questions. But I am watching this lawyer destroy Tom, the guy who filed against us. It is a very stupid lawsuit and Tom deserves what he is getting. And I am just sitting back and watching what the Lord is doing, exactly like many of the fights the Israelites had with enemy nations who came up against them. There were times where the Lord turned the enemy against each other and they killed each other. Sometimes he sent bees to destroy them. With the wall of Jericho he had them walk around it for 7 days and then with a blast of trumpets the wall came down. But the point is the Jews mostly just had to sit back and watch the Lord do his work and then go in and pick up the spoils. I see this lawsuit exactly the same, I am sitting back (even though I want so bad end this and be generous about it). And I am watching the Lord do his thing and stay in obedience to him. The christian world and teachings go completely against this, they will quote verses like give the cloak off your back, or walk the extra mile…
The third example is a couple who comes to visit one of our owners below. The wife has a granddaughter whose parents were killed by the cartel so the girl now lives with the grandma. The real story is about the girl. Our neighbor, who is a catholic christian, keeps trying to get us to get our daughters together with this girl. This girl has big mental or spiritual problems as she cuts herself. According to our neighbors doctrine we should let our girls around this girl in hopes the girl changes and stops doing these things. Because it is the right thing to do according to her. But what she refuses to see is how these spirits work, and that our daughters will not affect the girl, but the spirits in the girl can affect our daughters. This girl needs spiritual intervention by someone who is able to deal with it, not a 10 y 12 year old girl.
The Lord has pointed out to me the story of Solomon and how he did not obey the Lord and keep some of the women from a fight and took them as wives when the Lord said to kill them all, men, women and children. They were beautiful and seemed harmless enough, but over time these women convinced Solomon to worship their gods.
These are all examples of what man thinks is good or the right way to do things, God sees as bad. And they are examples of how manipulative satan can be in tricking men into thinking they are doing the Lord’s will when they are actually doing satans. And many times they then blaspheme the Holy Spirit because when the Spirit does say something, they rebuke it. Last night this man said to me I rebuke that in the name of Jesus. He said this because I was trying to point out this manipulative spirit he is following. And then tried to change it to where I was the one who was wrong.
But here is the difference, I am not asking him to do anything for me, and quoting bible verses to support it. I am not the one demanding him to agree with my doctrine. I simply tell him what the Lord has shown me and then when he disagrees I say go ask the Lord for yourself, do not trust me.
The point is I am always pointing back to hearing and obeying the Lord, he is always quoting bible verses to get me to agree with his ideas and way, trying to make it the way of the Lord. This is a manipulative evil spirit. And they twist the truth. For example this guy is telling me because I say I simply obey him, then he tells me I am making it about following the law. Which I say no I am following the Spirit of God, which is very different. But then out of the same mouth he tells me how I am not to forsake the assembly of the church, which is making it about laws. These grace doctrine teachers do not get that, they say it is about grace and not works, but then tell you works you need to do. Like go to their church and give your money to them. These are works of men not of God, where my works are works of God and not of men. And in the end as it is written in Revelations 20:12 y 13 “And the dead were judged according to their works.”
We are judged according to our works, we either do works of the dead religion and the men teachers which is not of God and evil in his sight. Because I can promise you God does not want you hanging out with people who have a spirit of manipulation giving you the wrong message which you then accept. He wants you hanging on to his word said directly to you, and then be doers of that word. This is the judgment and or condemnation. Which was another thing he argued with me about last night, that God does not condemn us, to which I said yes he does. In John 3-19 “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” It is very clear not only in this verse but many verses the Lord does condemn us according to our works. Our works are works based on what we sow. If we sow wrong we reap wrong. We must always sow according to the doctrine of God, being a hearer of the Lord and then obey in even the smallest details.
The Spirit of God does not demand and manipulate. He will tell you to do something, and as a true believer I know if I do not obey there will be consequences. But he never throws doctrine at me to get me to do something. And normally his commands to me are simple. Like when he told me to sell my house in Iowa, he simply said, “now sell it!” And then a few months later when here in Baja on vacation, he simply said “now move here.” He did not throw bible verses at me, however Yeshua did use bible stories after moving to make points or use in teaching me. There were many lessons learned in that difficult decision to obey him, most the lesson that when he commands you to do something that it is in your best interest and it is not negotiable where you can disobey and still remain one with him. You either obey and the results or good works pleasing to God where your judgment will be favorable. Or you ignore the light and remain in your darkness and the results or works or fruit is evil in the eyes of God.
The point is I know how the Spirit of God is and how the Spirit of evil are. And I know it is a must to obey God if you want a good life and want salvation. This is all it comes down to, hear him and obey him. God cannot find fault in you if you obey him and do it at the highest level possible, even if the results lack some. The results I achieved in my early walk in Yeshua were well below where they are today, and will be tomorrow. That is not the point as the devil is good, he will trick you and defeat you. The Lord allows it because it makes you less dependent on yourself and more dependent on him. And eventually you overcome in him. But you must hear and obey and do his will to the highest level you can.
