What is EvilPart 3There is a woe of working “ill” (same word for evil) upon those who are this wicked (Is 3:9); Love does no “ill” to others (Rom 13:10); But ‘ill” shall be with those who are wicked (Is 3:11); This woe is upon those who call evil good, and good evil, and put darkness for light (5:20).All of this is because they have not considered the operation of God (Is 5:12); Why is this? Because these believers are wise in their own eyes (5:21); These take away the righteousness of the righteous (5:23); And this is all because they despise the word of God (5:25).Consequently, unless you believe that the LORD can move men, you are in the great forsaking of men, wherein not “one in ten” return to the holy (Is 6:12-13); How does this happen? God shuts your eyes so that you cannot see these things, and He does not give understanding of them so that you can be converted (granted repentance) unto being healed (becoming Christian) (Is 6:10, Acts 28:27, Math 13:15).Are you blessed to have eyes to see (the glory of God in these words), and hear (about God working)? (Math 13:16); The parable of the sower is NOT about just hearing the gospel, it is about hearing all of these words of the kingdom, which are not understood (Math 13:18-19); OR these words are offensive (“stony grounded believer)(13:21).OR these words are choked out from believers because of the cares and pleasures of this world “thorny grounded believer) (13:22); Only believers who can receive these words and understand are on the “good” ground (Math 13:23); Everyone starts out on different grounds, however we need to learn how to get to the “good” ground for salvation.What is the joy of salvation? Conversion from sin and error (Jm 5:19-20); The days are evil when iniquity encompasses us because of self-centeredness (Ps 49:5); Those who are given to this evil speak against the brethren (Ps 50:19-20).Those who are doing these things even though God has been silent, He is going to rebuke people and set these things in order before their eyes (Ps 50:21); Believers who don’t consider all of this, forget God and He is going to tear these believers into pieces and no one can deliver them (50:22).Evil is also translated as boasting in our own selves (in what we can do rather than what God IS doing) (Ps 52:1); God calls our own will evil (Jm 4:13&16); Believers who are in “their own will” (free-will as they say) are in lusts and their father is the devil (Jn 8:44).These believers are deceived in this unrighteousness (of doing their own will) and this is all because they can’t receive a love for all of this truth, so GOD Himself sends a strong delusion upon them so that they believe a lie instead and have pleasure in this unrighteousness (2Thes 2:10-12).This is why believers who have their own will still present within them cannot perform anything good (Rom 7:18); And this is because they are in a wretched condition which needs deliverance (7:24); How do I know this? Because God says that believers who are self-willed are also presumptuous, because they are walking in the lusts of their flesh in all uncleanness (2Pet 2:10).Believers who are ignorant brethren, are nothing more than dogs (Is 56:10); These are those who are in “their own will” (56:12); These need a minister sent unto them to impart the spiritual gift (of grace in it’s teaching) so that they could be established in the faith (Rom 1:10-12); Without which they remain ignorant (Rom 1:13).Even Jesus said, “Do not be in error, my beloved brethren “ (Jm 1:16); Why should we not be in error? Because those who are in error, don’t know (meaning understand) the scriptures nor the power of God (Math 22:29, Mk 12:24); Believers who are in error are those who do not like to retain the knowledge of God (Rom 1:27-28).There are so many greedy dogs who are shepherds (pastors) that don’t have understanding, and this is because they would rather look to “their own way” for “their own gain” in their house (Is 56:11); These so-called watchmen are blind and ignorant (Is 56:10).The only escape that these pastors have (and the believers under them) is that they must receive the minister whom God sends unto them so that it can be said that they have received Jesus (Mk 9:37); Meaning an eloquent man who is strong in the scriptures, and can expound the word of God perfectly (Acts 18:24-26). (Kjv)This minister must be received, so that these pastors (and believers) can be much helped (Acts 18:27); Jesus said, “Those who can receive whom He has sent, unto them shall receive the Father who sent Christ. (Jn 13:20) Has God sent you such a minister for you to receive, so that you can be helped much?? (Acts18:27)
