REBELS and DEVILS

2 PETER 2:10 BUT CHIEFLY THEM THAT WALK AFTER THE FLESH IN THE LUST OF UNCLEANNESS, AND DESPISE GOVERNMENT, PRESUMPTUOUS ARE THEY, SELFWILLED, THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK EVIL OF DIGNITIES.
1)A REBEL IS ONE WHO MAKES WAR AGAINST OR OPPOSES CONSTITUTED AUTHORITES: OR OPPOSES LAWFUL AUTHORITY.
2)A DEVIL IS A EVIL SPIRIT AND CAN ALSO BE A VERY WICKED PERSON

WE ARE LIVING IN AN HOUR IN WHICH WE HAVE MANY REBELS AND DEVILS WORKING IN THE CHURCH. WHEN I SAY "CHURCH" I AM SPEAKING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. I AM NOT SPEAKING OF A BUILDING OR CERTAIN GROUP BY NAME OR CREED. REBELS AND DEVILS ARE NOT PART OF THE BODY, JUST WORKING AMONG THE BODY. IF WE HAD MORE DISCERNING OF SPIRITS, RATHER THAN FAVOR OF FLESH THIS WOULD NOT BE SO. IN ORDER TO BE A PART OF THE BODY, ONE MUST BE BORN AGAIN (NO DEBATE)! JOHN 3:3... EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ONCE A PERSON IS BORN AGAIN IN HEART, WE BECOME A NEW CREATURE AND STARTS LIVING AND LEARNING OF HIM.
THERE ARE SOME REBELS WHO OPPOSE ALL LAWFUL AUTHORITY OF THE CHURCH AND BODY OF CHRIST. LET ME SAY THAT CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH AND SANCTION IT!(MATT 16:18)
THERE ARE SOME THAT THINK THEY KNOW MORE THAN THE FIVE-FOLD MINISTRY (EPH 4:11-13). THEY THINK THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX GOD'S CHURCH. WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING BUT BREEDING HAUGHTY AND REBELLOUS SPIRITS. SHORTLY WE ARE GOING TO SEE A MOVE OF THE SPIRIT (NOT FLESH) IN THE BODY OF CHRIST AND THE WORLD. GOD HAS NOT PUT US OUT TO DRY SO TO SPEAK. SO BE ENCOURAGED BECAUSE REVIVAL IS IN THE AIR. GOD IS STARTING TO BLOW THE WINDS OF REVIVAL IN A MIGHTY WAY. IF YOU ARE NOT SEEING A MOVE OF GOD THEN YOU JUST MAY BE IN THE WRONG PLACE! REBELS AND DEVILS CONDEMNS AND COMPLAINS, WHILE SAINTS ARE CRYING OUT TO GOD TO DEAL AND HELP HIS CHURCH. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING LATELY? THE REBELS AND DEVILS REALLY DON'T WANT TO SEE GOD MOVE, THEY LOVE CONFUSION. IN FACT THE MORE TROUBLE THE BETTER THEY LIKE IT! PROVERBS 4:16 FOR THEY SLEEP NOT EXCEPT THEY HAVE DONE MISCHIEF; AND THEIR SLEEP IS TAKEN AWAY, UNLESS THEY CAUSE SOME TO FALL.
WE MUST GET OUR EYES OFF THEM AND BACK ON THE GREAT PRIZE, CHRIST HIMSELF. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BE AROUND AND WILL TILL HE TAKES US HOME.(GOOD NEWS) THE CLOSER WE GET TO THE LORD, THE FARTHER BEHIND THEY WILL BECOME AND THE LESS POWER THEY WILL HAVE!AMEN!
THE WORD TELLS US HIS CHILDREN -TO DO GOOD, HEB 13:16. EPH 4:27 NEITHER GIVE PLACE TO THE DEVIL. A PLACE IS A SPOT- OCCUPANCY- LOCATION (A LICENCE). WE MUST REVOKE HIS LICENSE, HIS SPOT AND HIS OCCUPANCY. THE BATTLE IS CLOSE TO BEING OVER, WE MUST PRESS FORWARD. SAINTS WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT, IF WE STAY CLOSE TO THE MASTER.
WATCH FOR THOSE THAT SPEAK OF THE BODY OF CHRIST (CHURCH) WITH CONTEMPT, MALICE OR JUST PLAIN FOOLISHNESS. GOD HIMSELF IS GOING TO STRAIGHTEN HIS CHURCH OUT, HIS BODY AND THE WORLD AS WELL. JUST REMEMBER IT AIN'T OVER YET! REV. 22:12 AND, BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY; AND MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE. AMEN
Special Thanks to Those that remind me it's time for a posting, you know who you are. Two's better that one.
