OUR MISSION IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD
PART 8: RESPECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS

John S. Torell

September 7, 2003

The message from God given to me at this time, is a somber, soul searching, fearful one, that can be likened to a roaring forest fire, that when it is hot and the wind is blowing hard and it becomes clear that no man can outrun this red-hot roaring hell fire. The Rise of the Antichrist is near AND TIME SHALL SOON BE NO MORE FOR THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST AS AN ORGANIZED FIGHTING UNIT AGAINST THE FORCES OF THE SATANIC KINGDOM!

1. A BACKSLIDDEN CHRISTIAN WILL FIRST START TO LIE TO HIMSELF!
2. THEN HE WILL START LYING TO OTHERS!
3. THEN HE WILL START LYING TO GOD!

A backslidden Christian does not want to attend prayer meetings! Neither does he want to read the Bible, pray for himself or witness to others about Christ. He will lose the joy of the Lord, become angry, cranky, miserable, irritated and heaping criticism on those who are still walking with Christ! Eventually he will drop out of church completely, citing his great excuse: I CANNOT STAND ALL THESE HYPOCRITES IN THE CHURCH, NOT REALIZING THAT HE IS THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE OF THEM ALL! James 3:8-18

This condition brings great joy to the Devil and all his fallen angels and grief to our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Ghost!

THE SPIRIT OF ERROR I John 4:6

This is a powerful class of demons, and are extremely difficult to detect. They work in secrecy, using a number of other classes of demons to cover them, and making it almost impossible to detect them. "Flying cover" for these evil spirits are religious spirits, spirits of sentimentality, spirits of guilt, spirits of offense, spirits of approval, and spirits of recognition.

OVERCOMING AN ATTITUDE

Before the Army of God can attack the evil forces of the Devil, God’s soldiers must be "cleansed and healed" from their infirmities. This is a mission that Jesus came to start. Luke 4:28-44

If a person does not know that he has a problem, there will be no solutions for him. Luke 4:18-21

OUR ASSETS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD

The power of God on this earth has not decreased - Hebrews 13:5-9; Deuteronomy 31:6; Joshua 1:5
And it will not change, even during the time of tribulation - II Thessalonians 2:1-8
The Word of God will stand until the end of this earth! Matthew 5:17-19
On the contrary- the power of God shall increase toward the end times - Joel 2:28-32

WALKING IN OBEDIENCE

Every human being has a weakness, which is exploited by Satan and his demons. Human EMOTIONS are the GATEWAY to the soul of a human being!

Evil spirits have three approaches to alter the emotions of a person:

ROOTING OUT HIDDEN ANGER!

The apostles Paul and Barnabas had been together for many years, when they became so angry with one another, that they parted as enemies - Acts 15:36-41

RESPECTING YOURSELF AND RESPECTING OTHERS

No organization on this earth can exist, unless there is a definite chain of command.

It begins at the top and flows down to the lowest ranked person. Any question of change, must be passed on from the bottom up to the top through the chain of command. The Church of Jesus Christ is no exception: Ephesians 4:11-16; I Timothy 5:1-2; Leviticus 19:32

Peer pressure and "bully attitudes" should never be allowed to exist in a church of Jesus Christ. Philippians 2:1-5

Each believer in Christ is unique with different temperaments, interest, desires, gifts, etc. I Corinthians 12:1-31

The Church of Jesus Christ must be a safe place for all believers, not just for a group of believers who have banded themselves together, doing THEIR OWN PROGRAM. John 10:1-15

In the world, people tend to seek out like minded people and then form a "clique." This is not acceptable in the church of Jesus Christ! Acts 10:25-48

We can never forget that Jesus clearly stated, that he had come to seek out the weak, the sick, the people who are suffering! Matthew 9:10-13; Luke 4:14-21

Remember this: If you are not receiving proper sleep, or if your body is physically out of balance, it will affect your emotions and weaken your will-power. Once your will-power is weakened, you have lost control of your emotions. James 1:6-8

Coming to the point of deliverance from evil spirits is hard, but for the believers in Christ to stay clean and maintain the deliverance is a long hard road that will last, until the day Jesus takes you home to heaven. Ephesians 6:10-18

God has made it possible for us to stand, and having stood, to stand until our mission is finished on this earth! Hebrews 11:32-40; 12:1-4

To him that has an ear, let him hear!
