Daily Devotional, Year 2 – JULY 27

.

The False Prophet,

.

Part 9:

“The Devil Owns The Fence!”

To read Part 1 of this series, click here… “JANUARY 26 (The False Prophet, Part 1: Lying Eyes!)”

.

Today, a nice lady was sitting with her daughter in an Internet café (the daughter being about 50-years-old).

.

And they were having a nice conversation. And yet, the mother could often be heard taking the Lord’s name in vain in various ways.

.

Well, the urge came to turn around and gently scold this otherwise nice lady about her language. But after thinking about it, it was decided not to interfere with her bad habit.

.

Actually, she was inadvertently doing God a service.

.

She was letting all those around her know just where she stands, as far as her relationship (or rather, lack thereof) with God.

THE ANTICHRIST SPIRIT WITHIN

.

But the real puzzling question is, why did she curse the Lord so often?

.

Why did she use the name, “Jesus Christ!” as a curse word, maybe a dozen times or even two dozen times in this rather brief conversation?

.

Well, the answer is probably found in the following passage…

“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

Ephesians 2:2.

.

Yes, there is a spirit within all humans. Either a person is filled with the “Spirit of Truth”, or with the “spirit of error”. (see 1st John 4:6)

.

**The spirit of error of course is “the prince of the power of the air”, spoken of in the above verse from Ephesians 2:2.**

SATAN WITHIN

.

And so, 1st John 4:6 and Ephesians 2:2 are both speaking of the very same spirit.

.

Therefore, this seemingly moral lady is merely speaking the very sentiments of the “spirit of Antichrist” which, “now worketh in the children of disobedience”! Ephesians 2:2

.

And so, because Satan hates God, this “nice” woman likewise has the spirit of hatred for God within!

.

Therefore, she has little problem using the Lord’s name in vain! Her blasphemy just rolled off her tongue like water!

.

But it was most likely the antichrist spirit within, who was truly doing the cursing!

.

SHOULD BE NO SPECULATION

.

Now whether the “spirit of error” dwelling in a person is referring to one of Satan’s fellow evil angels, or whether Satan himself has some sort of limited version of omni-presence among the children of men, the Bible does not make it clear.

.

We just are not told.

.

And so, it does no good to speculate one way or the other.

.

Nevertheless, we just need to accept that Satan’s spirit of error does indeed work in “the children of disobedience”. Ephesians 2:2

.

SATAN KEEPS THE LIE GOING

.

Now, of course, not every unsaved person swears like the proverbial “sailor”. Nevertheless, Satan’s antichrist spirit will undoubtedly manifest itself in some way or another.

.

The bottom line to all this is, either you have the Holy Spirit working within you, or you have “the spirit of the world” working in you! (1st Corinthians 2:12)

.

There is no third alternative! One or the other!

.

AN ANGEL OF LIGHT

.

**Yes, the people of the world have a form of godliness. But that form of godliness is given by the “spirit of error” within them. It is not borne of the Holy Spirit.**

.

Listen again…

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness;

whose end shall be according to their works.”

2nd Corinthians 11:14, 15.

.

Now this above passage is not merely speaking of Antichrists WITHIN the Church.

GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, the Good News to all this is, that today is still the day of Salvation!

.

Yes, if you or I discover that we are in the wrong army, we still can go A.W.O.L.! We can still defect and become soldiers in the Lord’s army! We can change our residency, becoming citizens of Heaven, instead of citizens of Hell!

.

And once we do change residency, we will forever be lying down in the everlasting green pastures of the Lord!

.

And those green pastures just keep going on and on, forever, and ever, and ever, and……

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Give me understanding of my true spiritual condition! Let me not attempt to lie to myself or be deceived by Satan’s armies, to think that I am on neutral ground, when in fact, there is no neutral ground in this world…

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP

.

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Micah 4:1, 2

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It resembles a pyramid.

.

Then find the second pyramid to its right (south).

.

Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.

.

These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

.

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP. They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours.

.

These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left), and various stars from the Andromeda Constellation (valley) Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) & Destroying Mount (right)), and Pisces (Broad Way to Hell). The galaxy which appears to be climbing the Mountain of Blessing is the Andromeda Galaxy.
