Av, ginger,
Refreshing that there are those that accept the 'truth' of the matter. Satan HAS dominion over this planet in it's present state.
Av, you are right in that God is God and the ULTIMATE power in this UNIVERSE. Able to 'grant' the power to Satan and therefore able to 'take it away'. But, up to this point, Satan has been 'given' dominion over this planet. He is referred to as 'the prince of this world'. Obviously denoting that he is NOT the King, which WILL be Christ upon His return.
Now, the neat part. Once one comes to the realization that Satan HAS dominion over this world, then one is able to discern the 'truth' of what is going on with the churches and those that claim to be Christian 'without' the love or understanding of Christ. Many fail to realize that upon the introduction of the anti-Christ, the world WILL accept him AS Christ. The 'mind-set' needed for this to take place began at the 'cross'. The apostles knew that their job of 'starting' the Church was limited by time and that even then they stated that 'many anti-Christ' had already manifested themselves in the world. It's only gotten worse and worse as time has gone by.
If you were Satan and you wanted NOTHING more than to discredit God and His Son, WHO would be your MAIN targets? Would you focus on those that already lived for the world and what it has to offer? Would you focus on those that insisted upon 'themselves' as gods? NO, by no means would you waste your precious energy and limited time on there. But instead, you would focus your energy and time on the focal points of your enemy, hence; the churches. Offering temptation to those that LEAD these that trust in their guidance.
I know folks, that it sounds like something that NO ONE wants to hear or accept, but Satan has infiltrated the churches from the time of their inception. That's why many are even unable to understand that The Church IS NOTHING MORE THAN THE BODY OF BELIEVERS. Instead, the churches have led them to believe that ANY church is The Church. NOT TRUE my friends. The 'Spirit of God' WILL NOT dwell within a 'group of 'demons'. So, if one believes in a church, they are doing nothing short of creating an idol of this church and offering spiritual adultery.
We are to trust in God and trust in Christ. We have the words of the apostles that we may also trust so long as interpreted through the Spirit of God. NO ONE else is to be trusted. NOT ME, NOT YOU, NO ONE. The CC has taught their followers since it's inception that they are to follow their leaders without A QUESTION concerning their validity. This was carried over into the Protestant denominations as well. TRUST NO ONE, my friends for there is NOT ONE THAT IS RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE. The Word is what opens the way for the Spirit. We are to absorb the Word as one would absorb nutrition from eating. READ my friends READ. Read and pray for guidance. The Bible plainly states that if you ask you WILL receive, Knock and it WILL be opened. I believe that this refers to understanding more than ANYTHING ELSE. Do it. ASK, KNOCK. Let men lead other men but yourself be led by NOTHING other than the Spirit.
For we battle NOT against our fellow men, but against powers and principalities that we know little, if anything, about. Satan is at war RIGHT NOW. He knows that we have an inherent desire to worship. Don't let him into your hearts so that he is able to offer you what you desire in the flesh. Block him out by staying in the Word. Otherwise he WILL trick you into believing what ever your heart desires. 'Trinity', OSAS, etc..........are nothing more than doctrines created by men? that have NO POWER. Any subtle means is what SATAN WILL USE in order to subvert those that are able to be led by any spirit other than the TRUE SPIRIT OF GOD. BEWARE my friends. many will refuse to heed these words and instead choose to ridicule me for them. So be it. If it's a fool that I must be then it's a fool that I will be..........For Christ and His Father.
