Thessalonians part 25

2Thessalonians 2:5 “Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?”

Paul as the revealer and steward of God's secrets is always bring to bear the witness of Christ within him by many such means as this one. It is his innate habit as a lawyer that causes him to use this kind of language under the leading of the Spirit of Truth within. By this method we have the workings of Faith exhibited which works through God's Love and Grace when restored within us. True Faith is more than a simple “believeing” for the word tells us that even the demons and deviles in hell believe and tremble with great fear our God.


2Thessalonias 2:6-7 “And now you know what withholds (look at 1Timothy 3:9 and 16) that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity (the evil activities of Satans doing through mans blind cooperation, this can be seen in Proverbs 1:16, 4:16, 6:18-19, Isaiah 59:7, Micah 2:1, 7:3, Romans 3:15, Matthew 23:15, Acts 9:2, 26:11) does already work: only he who now lets (to vehemently prevent, hinder and impedes, looking at Isaiah 43:10-15, Romans 1:11-15) will let, until he be taken out of the way.”

I have already stated that for me this is the Body or Church of Christ as it is still holding back the sons of perdition of verse 3. In which we find heresies, heretics, hypocrasy and apostasies all of which speak through the use of great swelling words and this, the destruction which consists of eternal misery in hell. Here is another of those phrases added by a translator or Bible publisher in “will let.” Removing this will reveal this, “he who now lets, until he be taken out of the way.” And I stated the “he” is the Church in the masculine, in which Christ is Head, of which there are few these days. It is almost impossible to find one which is NOT part of the world order and remains undefiled. Many are defiled by and through the workings of mans traditions in the sons of perdition as vessels of destruction and known as anti-Christs. Many would be believers will ask for proof through the use of Bible passages to varify these words, and the quoting of these passages as if that lead credence to these words. Not knowing that where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is Truth, as it is no long I that lives but it is the Spirit of the LORD that is alive within me.(look at Luke 4:18, 10:21, 1Corinthians 12:3, Galatians 6:18, 2:20, 2Thessalonians 2:13, 4:22)

 

Here are seven tricks used by Satan and his host of fallen angels,

1. He wonts all to doubt God's authority. By turning a divine command to a subject for debate...in this way we loose (Genesis 3:1-5).
   
2. He works his hardest in believing churches. Through his disciples of light who minister as false prophets and antichrists. Who often proclaim another way to salvation other then the One and Only Way, Jesus.
   
3. He makes you to be the focus. He manufactures the need and then supplies the false church to meet that need. 1Pe 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:”
   
4. He will give you a counterfiet. Again a pastor who promots an immitates God, 2Co 11:4 “For if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.
   
5. He loves to display his trophesies and masterpieces. These are but a few, media-TV personalities, Political figures, and glamorous people.
   
6. He uses sugar-coated poison pills. He never tells the truth of his own destination of hells firy end nor does he talk about the cross and the blood through his disciples.
   
7. He lulls us to sleep so he can sneak up on us suddenly. The socially acceptable and politically correctness of our day is but one example of this. Through it we loose our effectiveness for Christ.

If we like the rest of the religious world deny the exhistence of Satan and his entourage of fallen angels then we to will become misguided and perverse with them.
