For those of you being pestered by pesky demons there is a reason for that. You fear them and by doing so you have allowed them to come and pester you! Don't you hate when they do that!
When you allow these pesky things to come and make your life miserable you allow them to stop you from keeping the Sabbath properly, not keep the new moons, and all the other 613 laws. Because of your grievous back sliding and CONSTANT lawbreaking the Anointed One has made it his mission to put you back on the straight and narrow path.The evil spirits love to be exalted, to be worshiped and a part of that is that to be feared; fear is a facet of worship. Those who fear demons will be pestered by them because they love to be feared, they eat it up, because to fear them is to acknowledge that they are all powerful.
What is my agenda? To make a wake up call from our complacency and careless lukewarmness and: To proclaim “follow men ONLY as they follow Christ and the Father”!
The doers of the law shall have the justifying sacrifice of Christ applied to them and shall be imbued with the spirit of God. (really??? this just goes to show how ignorant he really is!)
What shall any faithful commandment keeper fear? It is better to suffer and be tormented in this life and to even be killed for the faith as Christ was; then to turn away for our own temporary physical pleasure, for a bowl of potage as Esau did.
If we follow the ways of Esau we shall surely be rejected as Esau was; As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. This was not about the man: it was about his attitude and actions. Will you be like him: not valuing the birthright of your calling? Thinking that the temporary pleasure of a birthday party, buying a meal for your pleasure on Sabbath, or some other compromise else is worth your crown?
Am I adding to the law? NO! I am fighting those who have taken away from the law! I am restoring the commandments of God which have been compromised! As Ezra and Nehemiah did concerning the Sabbath day!
Yes, and be sure to fast twice a week, tithe on all your possessions, keep the New Moons as if they were Sabbaths -- all those things that the Pharisees in Christ's time did.
ReplyDeleteThat way, you will keep the Law perfectly and you will not be bothered by demons, the same way the Pharisees were not bothered by demons in Christ's time.
Don't bother with faith. Faith is overrated. I would suppose that works without faith will keep those demons away. However, works from faith may well be a different thing.
Tell the poor and hungry to be warmed and filled. Be sure to accept those who are socially appealing and reject those who have no charisma. Abide by the strict rules because being like a robot with mechanical Law keeping must be pleasing to God. Be sure to make sacrifices. Speak in Jesus' Name. He will be sure to recognize you when he returns.
Yes, if you do everything the Pharisees did, you will no doubt enter into the Kingdom of God with flying colors, ruling over and torturing those pathetic sinners with your whimseys. If you become an ACoG minister, you can start now, rather than waiting for the Kingdom.

ReplyDeleteScripture seems to indicate that the Pharisees were bothered by demons in Christ's time; however, it also appears that the Pharisees were not aware of it.
Here is one such example in Matthew 23 where Christ says things like: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites...Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers..." (verses 29, 33).
In fact, it appears that Christ is addressing the demons that drive, guide and direct those scribes and Pharisees, because He then says the following to them:
Matthew 23:34 "Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:"
35 "That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar."
Why should there be any "righteous blood shed" beginning with righeous Abel be placed upon any scribes and Pharisees? They were not alive back back in Abel's day, nor Zacharias's day for that matter, yet blood was shed.
It appears that demons were responsible for that shed blood and they were in Christ's day bothering the Pharisees without them being aware of it.

ReplyDeleteExactly, John, just as today, the ministry and leaders of Armstrongism are being tortured by demons without them being aware of it, for all the same reasons.
