    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    More false accusations. At least you are consistent. Anything that is not overly simplistic and dogmatic...you reject. The truth is beyond your grasp. There are the humble who are called as guests to the wedding feast. But there are the workers of iniquity who make false claims.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    To a bent person anything straight looks bent...because they are looking down their own crooked way of thinking. All who say I am a false teacher are themselves false teachers. All who say I preach another gospel are just condemning themselves, since they are following the ways of men and a...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    I think many people fall into error because they think they understand the bible when they clearly do not. I don't find many honest people among those who claim to believe. What will God do with dishonest "believers"? Can something that is bent be unbent? Those who have received another gospel...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Does God show mercy to hypocrites? Or does He rebuke them...for their own good? Did the Pharisees think Jesus was merciful? With the merciful God shows mercy. God loves the righteous. But with willful and stubborn sinners He shows wrath. He resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    That's what you do by quoting various authors...humans and your own ideas. But quote the bible.... not so much. You seem to prefer your food pre-digested. Why not seek the Lord and get an actual testimony. You rail against my testimony in ignorance., And I have an actual testimony and calling...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Dishonest and false. You are oversimplifying Jesus as a religious symbol to be embraced. Evangelists call people as guests to the wedding feast of the Lord. Guests are NOT saints. Guests are NOT the Bride. The call of a human is not the same as a direct call from heaven. Jesus said to fill...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    This is what is going on in the hearts and heads of far too many in Protestantism. These think it nothing to claim God's righteousness for themselves while denying the words of the Bible that speak of the righteous. So they have a HUGE double sin. First denying what God has justified through...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Haha. Why do you have to twist everything you read? You have to think beyond religious slogans to understand the bible and what I write. I never said that anyone is saved by their own righteousness. Before God NO FLESH is justified. It is God who justifies. Stop the strawmanning and...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Only if these continue in righteousness and the fear of the Lord. Jesus did not come to call the righteous to repentance...unless it is for the higher walk by the Spirit. Actually the wicked enjoy temporal blessings too. But the wicked are not accepted with God. Don't confuse being saved now...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    It doesn't say...those who feared Him and worked righteousness WERE accepted of Him...as if God no longer accepts those who work righteousness and fear Him. Don't filter the text through an already established bent. Stay out of your own mind and stick to what the bible says....IF you want to...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Jesus came to set us free from sin...and to destroy the work of the devil that fools people into thinking that we have to fight our own battle over sin, and the pull of its nature within us. The saint is someone who is not just set apart but also empowered to be as Christ in HIS...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    The bible says that "works righteousness" gets you accepted....but you are unable to break from your indoctrination long enough to believe the words of God. You have twisted the meaning of Paul...which is about holiness, not just salvation. That is the reasoning of a "reformer" who has been...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Acts 10: 34-35 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him. As to the Jews...rejecting the Lord is neither an act of righteousness nor fearing the Lord...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    My influence is in a direct connection to God and walk in His resurrection life and power. :) I don't follow men nor do I follow the teachings of any man. The bible will fully support my testimony as it is written by the same Spirit of God. Not many will be able to either understand the depth of...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    Do you think that the gospel is about remaining in a state of NON-holiness, in bondage to the flesh, alien to the power and life that is in Christ? Jesus came to set us free from sin...and to destroy the work of the devil that fools people into thinking that we have to fight our own battle over...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    One would have to understand the nature of religious institutions and why these are against growth in the truth.....one would have to understand spiritual warfare. Sure. Entire denominations are based on this...Methodist, Salvation Army, Quakers, Nazarenes...etc. Most people don't have a...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    You are avoiding the difficulty of entering into the Beloved. Many will seek to enter in but be unable. This generation doesn't even try to enter in....because of automatic "exoneration". A race is not about exoneration...it is an ordeal meant to train and pressure us to high effort...in this...

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    My contention is that most are building on the foundation of Christ with wood, hay, and stubble...based on a very human understanding of AVOIDING going back to Jesus for the finishing of their faith...and that due to crazy doctrines that appeal to the flesh that seeks salvation for itself.

    Uncovering the Devil's Strategy

    In this episode we seek to uncover what has been covered up; to dig up what has been buried; to expose the devil's strategy - that of taking what is of God for himself. Are we truly standing naked before God? Is the Lord truly our covering, or have we sought refuge in an ideology that we seek to...
