After you Enow, let's see if your patience and gentleness will convince these people of what darkness that they are endorsing.
Not my patience nor gentleness; but His fruits of the Spirit in me.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:... 11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
It is easy to get mad at those astray. I'm no superman. I need His help just as much as you do, brother. Paul reminds us to walk in love and not bite & devour one another and so you may find yourself reminding me when I lose sight of Him in any discussion when I start attacking the poster. Course I am trusting Him as my Good Shepherd to definitely do it, but He can use others too to confirm His word to me to let go of the anger.
I can get that way when I think of them leading others astray, but then He reminds me that His sheep will follow His voice and not a stranger's voice and so He helps me to rest in His sovereignty while I trust Him to take me Home when He comes as the Bridegroom regardless of what I am in the middle of doing in serving Him.
I feel that they should know better, and that there is a time for austerity and rebuke. For, who can possibly watch those videos and claim that these people are manifesting the power and wisdom of God?
It's offensive, and people should know better.
I would think so too, but Jesus has prayed to the Father to forgive them for they know not what they do, yet some of those people plotted His death.
When believers are not rooted in His words to use the meat of His words to discern good and evil, then when phenomenon comes, they fall away from the faith to give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils to such a point that they do not care what the scripture says in reproving the works of darkness. When believers have been denouncing the KJV, and saying not all Bibles say the same thing, they come to rely on experience more than anything and they wind up falling for everything rather than stand on the Word of God. That is what the get for not heeding His words.
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
So if a person is ignorant, pointing out his or her ignorance doesn't really help them nor convince them until God does by His words for them to see their ignorance in order for them to repent.
It's like believing tongues are for private use; even though it sounds like the tongues before Pentecost, they cannot discern that as not of Him because it feels good and makes them feel closer to God that way; especially when they got that tongue by what they assume was the Holy Spirit coming over them apart from salvation moment in their lives. Then others see that and then believe the lie that they can receive the Holy Spirit again to get that tongue and then it happens. Not knowing scripture of 1 John 4:1-6 that would reprove the phenomenon & that tongue as not of Him, they wind up being susceptible to other receiving of spirits after other sensational signs in the flesh in confusion which God is not the author of. It seems so common sense to us but in truth, we have the Lord Jesus Christ to thank for that because of us knowing the truth in His words.
1 Corinthians 3:1And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
Hebrews 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
1 Corinthians 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
So we can only hope in Him to keep us from walking in our flesh but in the Spirit when we are relying on God to cause the increase.
