Religious Creations

There is truly nothing more powerful and authoritative in existence than the word of God! Not the word of the US or Russian presidents, not the word of the United Nations, not the word of the Pope, not the word of Islam, not the word of Isis, not the word of the LGBT movement, not the word of Al Gore, not the word of any human being. Adam knew by experience how powerful and authoritative the word of God was, both in creation and in judgment; so did Eve! Noah knew by experience how powerful and authoritative the word of God was; so did his drowning audience! Moses knew by experience how powerful and authoritative the word of God was; so did Pharaoh!

The prophets, the Jews, the apostles, the Christians, the repentant, the criminals, the liars, the corrupt, the sick, the diseased, the possessed, the starving, the hurting, the dying, the healed, the dead raised to life – all knew by experience the power and authority of God’s word. Obedient or disobedient, it didn’t matter; once the word of God was proclaimed from the mouth of one of God’s servants, God’s power and authority was experienced. Those who took the word of God seriously became victors; those who did not became victims. The former tasted something of the promise, The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not beneath Deuteronomy 28:13, the latter tasted something of the opposite.

Looking at much of what’s called Christianity today it is evident that it tastes something of the opposite, not something of the promise. Worse: it enjoys the taste! Here it is in its delusion, believing it’s the head and not the tail; believing it’s above only and not beneath. But in reality, it’s feeding on slops dished up to it from the who’s who of hell! What an insult to God! What an insult to Jesus Christ! What an insult to the Holy Spirit! What an insult to the all-powerful, all-authoritative all-holy word of God. So many there are, gathering in the name of the Lord, hands in the air singing, “Jesus Christ is Lord,” yet arguing profusely for the church to accept that which God calls unholy, unrighteous, immoral, perverted and abominable.

They are an insecure bunch too. That’s why they attack those who challenge them to give proof from Scripture that God endorses what they endorse. They can’t give proof so they’ll quote, He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone John 8:7. However, whether it’s due to ignorance or arrogance, they can always be relied upon never to quote Jesus’ command to, ….. go and sin no more John 8:11. It was a rare liar, thief, drunk, deceiver, extortionist, cultist, murderer, fornicator, adulterer, or sex pervert who again practiced such in the early church after having been convicted, forgiven, and washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. Any who tried it quickly relearned what go and sin no more meant.

They knew by glorious experience the miracle of the new creation in Christ that they had become. They knew by glorious experience that, old things have passed away, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17. They knew what was vile in the sight of a holy God. So the question is, why is it that today’s Christians so-called, don’t know this? Answer: they are religious creations, not new creations. Religious creations will skirt around the edges of the kingdom of God but they won’t enter the kingdom of God. To enter, one must be born again John 3:1-5. Lord, Lord is on their lips, but not in their heart. Some are even casting out demons and doing many wonders, in Jesus’ name. The scary thing about that is, Jesus honors His word, but He doesn’t honor them!

Something else Jesus said. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me John 10:27. Those who claim to hear Jesus’ voice, but argue for the unholy, unrighteous, immoral, perverted and abominable, don’t hear His voice. To hear the voice of Jesus is to obey His commandments. Obedience to Christ will cause us to follow Him, go where He goes, do what He does and say what He says. That’s not what happens in those places. Commandments are obeyed there, but only those spewing from the mouths of ravenous wolves hell-bent on usurping the true gospel with another gospel Galatians 1:6. Their voice can sound like the voice of the Lord at times but they show up for what they truly are when preaching on love, but never judgment.

False prophets (preachers/teachers) are ravenous wolves Matthew 7:15. Savage wolves, the Apostle Paul called them Acts 20:29; false, greedy, covetous, hypocritical, dangerous people. Outwardly they are angelic-like; inwardly they are devil-like. On the highway to hell they are, seeking to take as many religious creations as possible with them! These are Satan’s soul rapists, soul cripplers and soul destroyers! They don’t believe the word of God is powerful and authoritative. That’s why they bow to the word of the US or Russian president, the United Nations, the Pope, Islam, Isis, the LGBT movement and Al Gore! But one day they will believe it; they will experience it just like Adam and Eve, Noah, his drowning audience, Moses and Pharaoh.

“Spiritual” wolves are cursed by God. Because they are willfully headstrong, God causes them to lose spiritual sensitivity and the ability to know differences between right and wrong, the holy and unholy. That’s the reason they lack love for truth, lack discernment, lack sound judgment and lack common sense. That’s right; it is God who causes them to sincerely believe the lies and silliness they argue for. For this reason God will send strong delusion, that they should believe the lie 2 Thessalonians 2:11. How’s that for power and authority in the word of God?! It’s wise to know that we know whose voice it is we’re listening to; otherwise we’ll end up the same way. Spiritual liberty applies to My sheep only.

Religious creations cannot endure sound doctrine 2 Timothy 4:3. They hold strong views on many Scriptures in the word of God, but only in so far as those Scriptures will sooth their itching ears. For example: God has much to say on what He considers unholy, unrighteous, immoral, perverted and abominable, but because it clashes with what they want to hear and believe, they will relegate it all to Old Testament Law. “We’re not under the Law, we’re under grace. Jesus never said anything about it; you’re being judgmental!” Religious creations love to charge new creations with judgmental tags of any kind! That’s a perfect example of their spiritual blindness; they have a total inability to see it is they who are judgmental!

Truth, holiness and righteousness are not the desires of religious creations; these require one to embrace self-denial. If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me Luke 9:23. Deny himself means “die to self”  – it’s a call to absolute surrender. Religious creations prefer to take up a gold or silver cross on a chain and put that around their neck. Or, as is fashionable today, they get one tattooed on their body where the whole world can see it. No danger of losing friends, family, reputation, job or life there! That’s something only new creations are in danger of losing! That’s why, in spite of whatever they think they are, in reality, religious creations are the tail and not the head; they are beneath and not above.

No experience of the power and authority of the word of God, means no respect for the same. But just like the ravenous wolves, religious creations will get to experience it. Everybody gets to experience it either here or in eternity – in heaven or in hell! My prayer for religious creations is that they humble themselves and respond to it positively so that the Holy Spirit of God will make them new creations. It’s not too late for them. What they must do is stop arguing profusely for the church to accept that which God calls unholy, unrighteous, immoral, perverted and abominable. Too, they must be willing to stop practicing anything which falls into those categories. Only that can bring respect for the power and authority of God’s word!

It is too late for the ravenous wolves, however. Once God hands them over to their unholy, unrighteous, immoral, perverted and abominable doctrines that’s the end of it. Romans 1:18-32 proclaims that reality loud and clear. Ravenous wolves are reprobates – castaways, rejected; there’s no way back for them. That is not the situation for religious creations, although it is the next step if they fail to heed the voice of Jesus Christ. Now for an encouraging word to new creations: You are the head and not the tail; you are above only, and not beneath. Confess that with your mouth out loud until it sinks deep down into your spirit. There is truly nothing more powerful and authoritative in existence than the word of God! For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to…….. Hebrews 4:12.
