The Gift of Discernment Discerning Whether the Good Spirit the Influence of God

the Church, one’s soul) or the bad spirit (the influence of Satan, the world, the flesh) is at work requires calm, rational reflection… “Beloved, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). In this verse, believers are commanded to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” This same command is echoed in other parts of Scripture as well. For example, in 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 we find Paul exhorting the Christians do not “despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.” Who is able and qualified to do this, according to the Word of God? The answer is that only an individual who is truly a regenerated believer in Christ, only a person who is therefore indwelled by the Holy…

God’s magnificent design, who can disput?

Everyone knows there is a God. The evidence is all around us. In fact, the Creator designed the universe so that His many invisible attributes would be “clearly seen” in the things He made, so that we are “without excuse” (Romans 1:20). Despite his wonders, they did not believe. (Psalm 78:32, ESV) Romans 1:18–21 has a more direct answer to modern Epicurus. Those who have never heard are willfully guilty for rejecting God because God has revealed Himself clearly in the wonders of creation. The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all impiety and injustice of men, who are seeking to suppress the truth by means of their unrighteous lives. (Romans 1:18 God is angry with us. Notice why. God’s anger swells up because men are “suppressing the truth.” The Greek word translated “suppress” means “holding down,” like…

Every Kingdom Divided Against Itself Will Be Ruined, and Every City

or Household Divided Against Itself Will Not Stand… We live in a divided country. Certain events bring it together, united we stand, then it fades away to division. We live in this world, a world of division, and change, but we are not of this world. Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. Many people also remember this expression from one of Abraham Lincoln’s famous speeches, where he invoked the words of Jesus. Lincoln gave this speech, known now as the “House Divided Speech,” before becoming the 16th American president. He used it to contrast the two halves of the United States at the time. One half of the Union allowed slavery, and the other did not. His message was…

Put.4- Sin Is Not Imputed When There Is No Law- Rom.5:13

Edward O’Hara Tue 12/31/2019 1:21 PM… In our last study we left off with the question; But, what about the people that God destroyed in the flood? Or at Sodom and Gemorah? Weren’t these punished by God for their sins? Isn’t that the imputation of sin? The short answer is no. Because there are a couple of reasons given in the Bible for why this happened. And none of these is said to be because of imputed sin. In some instances, it was because those that God destroyed were not really human people at all. Like when God flooded the earth. Because in Gen.6 we see that God says the only people who were perfect in their generations/genealogy were Noah. And the rest had been affected by the DNA change because of the marriages that had been going on between the…

When a Nation No Longer Can Blush

The reasons a nation can no longer blush begins, strangely enough, in the pulpits of the land.  It begins when men of God begin to value money and things more than they do truth and intimate fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit.   God makes an interesting statement as He is reproving His people through the prophet Jeremiah.  In Jeremiah 6:15 God says that although His people should have been ashamed of their actions and choices, “They did not even know how to blush.”  Now for too many in our culture, the whole concept of blushing at certain behaviors is a long-lost memory, but I actually can remember early in my walk with God when He restored to me the ability to blush.  Let’s take a brief look at God’s lament – and maybe try ourselves to recover from Him…

Babies Who Survive Abortion Deserve Protection & Dignity

The abortion industry doesn’t want to admit that babies can survive abortion. They call it a myth and pretend it doesn’t happen — but it does. And what happens when babies do survive abortions is chilling. Too often, the babies are left to die, with no comfort or compassion, but alone and cold and in pain. This is exactly what just happened in Poland, where a baby with Down syndrome was the victim of a botched abortion and was then left to die, crying for nearly an hour while doctors did nothing. Recently a very disturbing and revealing discussion has been taking place in our country, raising serious questions about how much value and worth we ascribe to babies in the womb and especially those born despite an attempted abortion procedure. This year several states have passed or proposed laws to codify the…

Red Flag Laws, a State of Nature and the Right to Shoot Back

Wishful Thinking Will Not Change What God Has Spoken As Sin!

No matter how you package it, spin it, wrapped it or dress it, inside you know what you’re doing is not acceptable in God’s sight. Sin is a sin is a sin. Broadly stated, the “problem of evil” is the seeming contradiction between an all-powerful, all-loving God and the human experience of suffering and evil in the world. Critics claim that the existence of evil is proof that the omnipotent, omnibenevolent God of the Bible cannot exist. Since “bad things happen to good people,” critics say, God is either nonexistent or less good or less powerful than Scripture suggests. Despite what some critics think, the so-called “problem of evil” is not something the Bible leaves unaddressed. Scripture not only refers to the problem of evil, but it offers several solutions to it. By looking at the Bible’s honest questioning of evil, God’s response…

Hellsong Church Is a Hotbed for Heresy – a Celebrity-Minded Prosperity Gospel – a Sunday Morning Entertainment Venue

The Perverted Priest Are Coming out of the Closet, and the Pope Changes the Lord’s Prayer, A House of Vipers

”80 percent of priests in the Vatican are homosexual The Roman Catholic Church contends that its origin is the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ in approximately AD 30. The Catholic Church proclaims itself to be the church that Jesus Christ died for, the church that was established and built by the apostles. Is that the true origin of the Catholic Church? Pope Francis arrives to lead his Wednesday general audience in Saint Peter’s square at the Vatican January 31, 2018. | REUTERS/Tony Gentile “I was shocked and appalled,”This is the Lord’s Prayer. It is not, and has never been, the pope’s prayer, and we have the very words of Jesus in the New Testament. It is those very words that the pope proposes to change. It is deeply problematic….. a cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the…
