Demons in the Church

All this is so plain in Scripture, why haven't we heard it

before? Well it's been in the Bible all along, but those 17

excuses have clouded the truth. There are some pastors who

have seen these truths but are afraid to teach them. "Those

verses don't preach," they say; "They're too unpopular, and

people would leave my church." Woe to those who take a

hireling's pay and do not teach the truth.

Others have worried that the somber warnings in this book

might prevent someone from receiving a spiritual gift which

the Lord intends to give Him. That's laughable. A few feeble

words by mortal man could not stop the Lord from giving a

spiritual gift to whomever He wills. God is the Lord, El

Shaddai, the Almighty, who does exactly as He determines.

On the other hand, if this little book keeps just one soul from

being demonized through false gifts, it was worth the effort.

Throughout this book, the author has tried to show the

contrast between true Christianity, and a false religion of the

same name, which has taken its place. Pseudo-Christians

"worship" God because of what God can do for them. We

brazenly appear before the throne of grace of a Holy God,

demanding gifts, that we may boast in the flesh:

JAM 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye

may consume it upon your lusts. (KJV)

That "form of godliness" is not God-centered; it is man-cen-

tered. It is not Christianity; it is humanism, and it pervades

the church. God's true servants worship God, regardless of the

outcome. A true servant will worship God, even if all he ever

gets out of it is suffering. Why? Because the Lord Jesus is

worthy of worship, REV 4:11; 5:12. He is holy and righteous

and pure and true and just and merciful and love. He is all

things good, and in Him there is no darkness at all. He is

totally worthy of our worship. If we worship the Creator of the

universe for any reason other than who He is, it is self-serving,

and man-centered. It is humanism.

But despite the humanism and spiritual excesses you have

read about in this book, the Lord, by His Spirit, is still working

through His servants. Souls are being saved, and the sick are

being healed in the name of Jesus. Holy angels have appeared

to some, and miracles have happened to others. So where is

the balance? How do we relate to the blessed work of God's

Spirit, without departing from the teachings of Christ (2JO 9)

and venturing off into spiritism?

The answer lies in maintaining a bond-servant relationship

with the Lord Jesus as He has revealed Himself to us in

Scripture: To obey Him with a whole heart, no matter how

unpopular the command. To seek to know "Christ Jesus, and

Him crucified for the remission of sins." To stop worrying

about ourselves (and our possible "gifts"), and to fulfill the

work the Lord left the church on Earth to do. To love and

serve the Lord with a whole heart, even if at the end of it, we

were to still go to hell. Until we are willing to take that firm

a stand, we are not serving the Lord; we are just serving

The martyrs didn't die because of all the good things the

Lord did for them in the flesh. They were not killed because

they lay down in front of abortion clinics, or were protecting

the environment. They were murdered because they taught

the truth of the Gospel. "...for the weapons of our warfare are

not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of

fortresses," 2CO 10:4. When Christians first evangelized the

world, it was not the miracles they performed, but the truths

they preached that changed the Roman Empire. It was not

their tongues, nor physical healings that transformed men's

hearts, but the miracle of a risen Savior. It was the Gospel of

Jesus Christ, and that is the truth upon which our hearts

should still be fixed:

The moment the last of Jesus' lost sheep comes into the fold,

He will return, and time is short. One dear brother, on his

knees before the Lord because of the "abominations in our

midst," was quickened by the Spirit to give thanks to the Lord

for this present time of peace: because right now is the best

time we shall ever see, in an ever-descending spiral of godless-

ness and violence. Thank God that the days of waiting are

almost over for us, and for the saints before the throne who

cease not to cry out, saying: "How long, O Lord, holy and true,

dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell

on the earth?" REV 6:10

All the entries in Fox's Book of Martyrs, and Martyrs Mirror,

have not been written yet. Beloved brethren, suffering still,

will yet lay down their lives for Jesus' sake, by tortures and by

fire. But have not Jesus' sheep stood tallest when all seemed

hopeless from the viewpoint of this present world?

REV 22:11-14 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which

is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be

righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold,

I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man

according as his work shall be.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the

last Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have
