Title: Messiah
“In the days of King Herod, Jesus was in Bethlehem of Judea.
When he was born, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem and said, "..."
All of mankind.. 'death problem' has been solved.
Who guides souls who wander because they do not know the way - on the path of eternal life
With the birth of Jesus, a fierce spiritual war begins from now on.
Rejoicing in the birth of Jesus and following the stars, the 'magi' who ran far away
From 'Herod' who tried to kill Jesus as Satan's instrument - the war began.
If we look at the Bible... God uses people.
Abraham, Moses, David, Paul… He uses many people as prophets and instruments of the gospel.
On the other hand... Satan also uses people as tools.
A representative person is Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Other false prophets like Balaam of the Old Testament..
In the New Testament, as with Herod today, as a powerful tool of the devil - with 'Judah Iscariot'
You can see people trying to kill Jesus.. In this age and in this time, there is no change in Satan.
In every country... at work... through our close neighbors... and through people in our homes,
They are attacking us in various ways to bring us down to temptation.
Before we see someone bullying us - by adjusting their thoughts behind the scenes
You will have to see the reality of the 'evil spirit' used as a tool...!
When we open our spiritual eyes and do 'discrimination of spirits', it is not just looking at the current situation.
You need to know how to analyze the phenomena that appear 'spiritually'.
To give an easy example.. Among the people you get close to, are you usually infinitely temperamental? Good
There are people who can't control themselves and lose their temper when they get hot.
In this situation, if we do not grasp the 'reality of the devil' that controls the person, we
Not only do we not understand, but, in the midst of quarrels with each other, big accidents and difficult situations are bound to happen...
A true spiritualist is not one who fights 'the evil one', but one who fights evil.
"Those who have received the gift of discernment of spirits do not oppose people."
We are influenced by the devil around us, and we need to discern the people who the devil uses as tools to win.
In the spiritual world... there is no 'middle'. It is either 'controlled by the Holy Spirit' or under the control of an evil spirit.
The Devil first takes control of the thoughts of the people he uses.
"The devil had already put the idea of selling Jesus into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son..." {John 13:2}
Our thoughts are a fierce battlefield where we fight all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts every day.
Spiritual warfare is, first, a 'brain' battle with the devil. The fire must be caught in the early stages.
If you don't get rid of it quickly, envy, jealousy, blood.. Unclean and obscene thoughts, 'incubator'
As time passes through the action, it goes down to the heart.. If you decide in the heart, it will be manifested in your actions.{Ephesians 4:26-27}
We must... purify our thoughts.
You have to clear your mind in order to hear the word of God and receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
To do that, you have to empty your mind and block the worldly things that come into your mind.
Just as a competent artist leaves a 'blank' on a beautiful canvas, we also leave a blank space in our thoughts,
And we have to fill that space with the word of God, meditation and prayer.
Without these efforts, the 'fragrance and power of spirituality' cannot appear in our lives and ministries.
You will not be able to be used as a tool as a faithful minister of God.
Today.. We looked at those who are used by God and those who are used by Satan.
Folks, even if we do little work
First, give God a clean thought {motivation}.
God examines a person's thoughts before accepting an action.
An impure motive and purpose, no matter how much you do, are not acceptable to God.
“On that day many said to me, Lord, Lord, we prophesy in your name,
Did not you cast out demons in your name, and did many mighty works in your name?
Then I will tell them plainly,
I will never know you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness." {Matthew 7:22-23}
The wise men from the East gave thanks to Jesus who came as the Messiah to all the world.
As we did, we must offer our sincere thoughts and hearts to the Lord as a precious gift. Hallelujah!
