Things Christians Say...(That Are Demonically Inspired) Part 1 of 5

The road to hell is paved with good intentions - Proverb

There has been an insurgency of demonic thoughts flowing out of the hearts and mouths of "well meaning" Christians lately. But, as the saying goes - the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Why do I call the thoughts demonic? "I thought Christians couldn't be possessed", you may be thinking. And I would agree, those with the Spirit of Yah dwelling in them can't be possessed, but they certainly can be influenced.  And if what we say doesn't match up with the "mind of Christ" that is given to us, it is of a demonic spiritual nature. Much of the influence comes from not totally surrendering to the Father. Parts of our hearts and thinking haven't been renewed so we speak something contradictory to the word of Yah. Often times, the main cause of this is pride as well as control - or lack of it. These two things are the hallmark of the enemy of our souls, Satan. One who has not completely given over themselves to Yah will no doubt have traces of this left.

So, lets get to it, what are some of the things said that many Christians have good intentions behind but are really satanic in thought?

1. Stop praying and do something
2. Stop "preaching" on social media
3. Quit judging
4. Be tolerant and stop being hypocritical
5. When you talk about evil, you give the devil glory

Each one of these statements does four things that the bible speaks against:

1. Leans to our own understanding and might
2. For those who are not strong in mind yet, it creates condemnation, confusion and guilt 
3. Takes the focus off of Yah and puts it onto self (comparison)
4. It suppresses discernment and allows those seeking control to dictate how the Spirit "should move"

So, now lets take time to examine these four thoughts in depth and seek the words of the Father. Because there is so much to talk about, I will without a doubt have to make this a five part writing.

1. "Stop praying and do something" 

This quip usually comes at the onset of some publicized social injustice. This thought in turn makes us run either to the might of man or the government instead of the Father. Many Christians use the scripture to support their stance:

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. - Isaiah 1:17

But, we have to remember who was being talked to by Whom. This verse is given as correction from Yahweh to the Israelites. They were a very rebellious people. Even after all that Yah had done for them, they still refused to do what was right in His eyes. They did what they wanted and were not pleasing to the Father. This admonishment was for them to get back on track and do what He had given them to do. These are a people that did not have the opportunity to know Christ or live by His Spirit either. But now, let's look at the admonishment for those who do have this opportunity....us:

And He told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart....7 And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” - Luke 18:1,7-8

...pray without ceasing... - 1 Thessalonians 5:17

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. - 1 Timothy 2:1-4

Let's really take a look at that last verse 1 Timothy 2:4 "who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."

I often say, that we will never change culture. It is and has been prophesied that this world will grow colder and more evil and ultimately be destroyed. There is nothing to "save" or "change" except people's hearts and souls. I don't care how many marches you do, how many sit-ins someone convinces you to participate in, how much money you give - this is a train that is not going to stop. The enemy has done a GREAT job at getting our minds off of our assigned task:

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you."- Matthew 28:19-20

Our task is to go and make disciples. The only way to do that is to get people "saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."  When we start getting involved in the "cares of this world" we lose our focus. And slowly we get sucked into seeing the "flesh" instead of the demonic spirits in high places. We get sucked into "injustice" and wanting "justice" which is really revenge - something Yah tells us not to seek. The Father tells us not to seek to use our own might to change things. In fact, in Jeremiah 17:5, He calls that person cursed!

Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord." - Jeremiah 17:5

So the question becomes - have prayers of the righteous ever changed any circumstance? The bible says "yes" in fact, they "availeth much". But let's take another example of how just prayers - no marches, no sit-ins, no "volunteer in the neighborhood days", changed a situation that seemed impossible.

 Acts 12 (Shortened for brevity sake. But please read Acts 12:1-19 for full and miraculous context)

12 About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. 2 He killed James the brother of John with the sword, 3 and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also...delivering him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him...but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church...Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his hands. 8 And the angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” 9 And he went out and followed him...and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him...When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying...13 And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.

Prayer....that is doing something. Only the inspiration of the enemy would claim that it's "not enough". Let us be mindful to not discount the value of prayer and the effects it can have on a situation.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. If the Spirit of Yah has lead you to pray, be obedient. It is better to serve Yah than man - for they have no heaven or hell to put you in. Pray on family....pray on....

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. - Romans 8:14
