Various vicious attacks are continuously organized against our relationship with Father God. This is how and where Satan’s Powers and Principalities continuously work. A separation from God brings man back under sin and back under Satan. Satan leads us to commit a type of spiritual suicide.
Spiritual Suicide # 1: Not by lip service
Hosea 9:17, 6:6
9:17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.6.6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the KNOWLEDGE OF GOD more than burnt offerings.
After two thousand years, great many Jews are still wondering Jews among the nations. Man worships the Lord God by– obeying His laws - accepting His lordship - and by loving Him.
Nobody can worship the Lord by LIP SERVICE and live in sin.
In time, a true, faithful and immense love becomes the result of being close to God, actually associating with Him, in contact with Him. True worship becomes just FLOWING LOVE, which for us becomes a flowing of greatest happiness. God is happiness. But this requires continuous contact with Creator God.
Spiritual Suicide 2: Turning from the Word of God to the word of man (most likely turning to a disguised word of Satan)
Isaiah 29:13-14 59:2; 9 1:18-19 58:8-9
13. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the PRECEPT OF MEN:
Precept of Men is, perhaps, best defined as CHURCH TRADITIONS. These are often remnants of ancient pagan religions, not taught by Gods Word and Will, but by the will of men and most likely the disguised will of Satan.
Remove from your life the TRADITIONS OF MEN and all non-biblical “religion”.
These “TRADITIONS” have been a stratagem of Satan since time immemorial, to question the Word of God, to dilute it, to eventually completely oppose it. From “Yea, hath God said?”, and “Ye shall not surely die” offered to Eve (Garden of Eden, Gen 3: 1, Gen 3:4) to today’s Church assertions of “We have our own traditions, equal to the Bible”, asserted by giant religions. Even today, Satan’s TRADITIONS are questioning and ignoring God’s Word and God’s Will.
Spiritual Suicide #3: Watch for sin creeping into our life and consciousness; repent and stamp it out at first indication.
2. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
9. Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
Spiritual Suicide #4: What is the gospel according to YOU? Every person preaches a gospel by his works, not only by his mouth.
This area becomes symptomatic of spiritual disease or spiritual wellness. Take a look.
Matthew 7:16-23
16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Micah 6:8
8. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Jeremiah 7:21-23 11:4-5 16:5
23. But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Spiritual Suicide #5: Attempting Victory without God
Joshua 1:8-9
8. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Verse 9 is the verse of victory, a favorite of many. But this victory is conditional on a preceding verse 8, to STUDY AND TEACH THE LAW (BIBLE) DAY AND NIGHT AND OBEY EVERYTHING COMMANDED YOU. How many "defeated" baby Christians come complaining? But do they study the Bible day and night? Do they really try to obey it?
Spiritual Suicide #6 –the greatest, perfect and certain suicide from Satan: IDOLATRY
Historically the worst disaster within the relationship of Israel to God has been IDOLATRY. Our God is a jealous God. There has never been a provision for an intermediary, apart from Christ Jesus (who is God). Never any pantheon of “Saints” to appeal to. Jesus says “PRAY TO THE FATHER”, NOT to Samirabis, Athena, not MARY, not SAINTS, not angels.
Why is that?
BECAUSE JUST CHOOSING TO ADDRESS AN IDOL (anything other than our God) WILL SEPARATE MAN FROM FATHER GOD AND WILL PERMIT DEMONS TO ASSEMBLE BEHIND THE IDOL.
Generally speaking, the religions of Satan exhibit a PANTHEON of gods, goddesses and half-gods, all to be worshipped or petitioned, all the way from the time before Noah’s Flood to the present. Examine the Babylonian religion (a duplicate of the religion of the giants, before the flood), examine the Egyptian religion, Assyrian, Greek, Roman, - all have their pantheons of Demons to be worshipped. The appearance of these demons changes, the names change, but the identity of the lying demons remains.
By contrast, Our Creator God is a jealous God. There is never a pantheon of saints or angels. Worship only Father God. Worship is obedience which will become a flowing love.
Examine the scriptural evidence in “BIBLE 7”, my article on idolatry, in www.faithwriters.com. Satan can generate tremendous emotions, a type of counterfeit love for his idols, as well as input evil thoughts in the hearts of men.
Dearest Pilgrim, let us always get back on course: Struggle, contend for your FAITH and SALVATION! Your worst enemy always contends against it.
Salvation # 1 Do it the Lord’s wonderful way:
Isa. 1 18. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isa. 1:19. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Isa. 58:8. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward.
Isa 58:9. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Salvation # 2 “If you love me, keep my commandments”.
John 14:15-16; 21 23-24
15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;
21. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
John 15:7-11
7. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
Salvation # 3: Keep inviting the Lord Jesus
Dearest pilgrim, you invite your friends many times to be with you, no?
Why not invite the Lord Jesus repeatedly, who truly loves you, who suffered for you, to be your guide, your light and your path in this wicked, perishing world. Invite Him frequently, even now, talk to Him, with me: “Dearest, most wonderful Lord, forgive me my sins! I renounce ALL NON BIBLICAL RELIGION. I give up and renounce evil temptations, and plead for your help in this. I plead not to sin, but to do things your wonderful way; HELP ME TO LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND OBEY YOU WITH ALL MY STRENGTH AND TO READ YOUR UNCORRUPTED BIBLE, (uncorrupted by Luciferians) EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE."
Salvation # 4: Avoid falsified Scriptures
Clean up Luciferian pollution in scripture. The reference to uncorrupted Bible (currently only the Old King James Bible still remains uncorrupted) is vitally important. An uncorrupted Bible is your only road map in this world’s wilderness.
To understand these issues it is essential to see the progress which Luciferians have achieved in mutilating the Scriptures. Observe my article on “Bible Mutilation” in www.faithwriters.com.
There is a SIGNATURE of GOD imprinted upon every verse of God’s uncorrupted message in its original language. Look it up and marvel, examine “Signature of God”, my articles. At the end of this writing will be a guide how to reach all helpful articles.
Something most especial is waiting for those who seek the infinite goodness of our Lord. God Himself said, that "The ear has not heard and no eye has ever seen, neither can man even imagine the HAPPINESS which God prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor. 2:9, paraphrased, if you please)!
