The Two Spirits In The World,

.

Part 4:

“The Fountain of False Christianity!”

To read Part 1 of this series, click here…November 23 (The Two Spirits In The World)

.

“I love You Jesus!

.

I worship You O Mighty God!

.

And I will praise Your name forever!”

.

Have you ever heard these lyrics? Or perhaps some similar praise song?

.

Well, in today’s church-world, there is a seemingly endless flow of such praise songs coming out of today’s Gospel-Music-Machinery!

.

And because of all the popular praise songs being churned out today, one might begin to assume that there’s a whole lot of “on-fire” Christians out there!

.

TRUE OR COUNTERFEIT?

.

But is that the true condition of today’s church community?

.

Is the current wave of enthusiasm observed today the real thing?

.

Or is it merely a satanic counterfeit?

.

A devilish delusion?

.

Can there actually be such a thing as “counterfeit Christian joy”?

TWO RULING SPIRITS IN THE WORLD

.

In yesterday’s devotional (click here), it was pointed out that there are two sources of pleasure in the world: the “Holy Spirit” and the “spirit of the world.”

.

These are the two ruling spirits in the world.

.

And either we are of one spirit or the other.

.

There is no neutral ground in this world!

.

And with only two classes, one might get the idea that it would be easy to distinguish between just which is which.

.

After all, those who attend church would comprise the class who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

.

And all the world’s citizens, who make no profession of being Christians are indwelt by the spirit of the world, the Antichrist spirit.

.

ANGEL OF LIGHT & MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

.

**Unfortunately, Satan, who was long ago given sovereignty over this world, now called, “the god of this world”, has “muddied the waters”, as the saying goes.**

.

And he has discovered long ago, the best way to destroy a kingdom is to infiltrate that kingdom with his own people, pretending to be “loyal” citizens of that kingdom.

.

Listen to 2nd Corinthians 11:13-15…

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,

transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

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.”

.

So here it is! This is God’s concise way of describing Satan’s modus-operandi in his effort to infiltrate and destroy as many of God’s professed people as possible.

GOOD NEWS!

.

Well, the Good News here is found in the little account of Nicodemus, a ruler of the Pharisee sect.

.

Here was a morally-correct man who was highly revered by the entire community.

.

And yet, he had been living a lie. His morality was little more than a complete sham!

.

But Nicodemus came to inquire of Jesus.

.

And by so-doing, Nicodemus eventually turned from his false morality, and became indwelt by God’s Holy Spirit, now a saved man!

.

And this same opportunity is available to each and every individual who realizes his or her spiritual bankruptcy, and comes to the Savior for Salvation!

TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!

.

Listen again to Joel…

“The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood,

before the great and the terrible Day of the LORD come.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered:”

Joel 2:31, 32

.

This is a wonderful promise of Salvation for all those who are now standing on the threshold of eternity!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP

.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…

.

for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”

.

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining…

.

“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…

.

“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…

.

“But the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

Joel 3:14-16

.

LOCATING THIS 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 on left)…

.

…Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount)…

.

…and Aquarius, (Destroying Mount on right)…

.

…and Pisces (Broad Way to Hell).

.

The galaxy which appears to be climbing the Mountain of Blessing is the Andromeda Galaxy.

The above Wikipedia star-chart shows this amazing constellation group as it appears from June to fall, just prior to the winter constellation group.

Actually, these Valley of Decision Constellations appear in early summer in the pre-dawn hours. (Editor of this website has sketched in this constellation group onto this above Wikipedia star-chart.)
