Spiritual Darkness in the Church; The Devil’s Secret Revealed!

Spiritual Darkness in the Church; The Devil’s Secret Revealed!

Spiritual darkness in the church means the presence of the Devil appearing as angel of light with great manifestation of unholy acts that blindfold the Christians and separate them from the LORD.

It’s awful and painful when the LORD revealed this sad situation to me. We must wake up from slumber and fight the good fight of faith!

Today’s message is not meant to judge anyone but to reveal the secret of the Devil and to open our eyes to see the spiritual darkness in the church through the Light of Jesus Christ!

“I was held by an Angel of the LORD in a vision and was taken out of the earth and I could see the whole earth like a small city surrounded by air and water. Many buildings and structures were created by man but the earth was in pitch-darkness despite the electrical infrastructures and I saw scanty spot of light illumination in the midst of the extreme darkness.”

“The Holy Spirit told me that I should not be carried away by the size of the earth because during the second coming of Jesus Christ, everyone on earth would see Him coming. And the darkness connotes the manifestation of the Devil across the earth.”

I want you to share this unpopular message with your friends because the strong influence of the spiritual darkness in the church intends to wipe away our souls from GOD’s kingdom!

How Did Spiritual Darkness Descend into the Church?

After Jesus Christ showed His disciples the Light and taught them how to live a holy life. Then His Blood was shed on the cross for the cleansing of our sins and He resurrected on the third day. Before His ascension to heaven, Jesus Christ gave a specific instruction:

“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”” (Mark 16:15)

The disciples did not spread to the world to preach after receiving the Holy Spirit rather they constitute a “mega church” in Jerusalem.

It was a big error that the early Christians restricted themselves to a building when the LORD expected them to always be on the move to witness the Gospel across countries.

The LORD is no more interested in building or temple. I tell you authoritatively that HE is interested in you!

“And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”” (2 Corinthians 6:16)

When it was about the second century after Christ’s resurrection, the Devil took advantage of the congregational style to create his counterfeit church. The arrival of Roman Catholic marks the arrival of spiritual darkness in the church.

The Devil brought division to the midst of the Christians and the leaders did not focus on the Gospel message anymore but their priority was how to create doctrines that would make them unique.

Spiritual darkness in the church was established on the day the Christians started to have denominations and man-made doctrines.  

Is GOD Happy with the Current Status of the Church?

The spiritual battle that brings darkness into the church is not strange to the LORD, and Jesus Christ gave the warnings:

“How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread? –but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

“Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” (Matthew 16:11-12)

The LORD alerts everyone through the vision revealed to John:

“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 12:17)

Jesus Christ foresees darkness coming when he asked if he would really find faith on earth during His second coming? (Luke 18:8).  

The LORD is not happy with this current situation but it’s not His fault. When we make the right choice to embrace the Light of Jesus Christ then the spiritual darkness would disappear.     

10 Signs of Spiritual Darkness in the Church

1. Disobedience to the teachings of Jesus Christ and worship of images/leaders in the church.

2. Creation of doctrines and creeds that are alien to the Bible.

3. Availability of various versions of the Bible to water-down the teachings of Jesus Christ.

4. Church is equally yoked with Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist and the like.

5. Many church leaders are lovers of money, sucking the poor sheep to become a fat shepherd.

6. Abominations such as homosexual, transgender and the like are allowed in the church of our generation.

7. We hardly hear directly from the LORD but demonic speaking in tongues that are not interpreted for you had filled the church!

8. Acceptability of worldly style of music, dressing, slangs and traditions are great signs of spiritual darkness in the church.

9. False teachers are densely populated in the church.

10. Use of dark powers by many famous church leaders for miracles, signs and wonders in the church.

 Effects of Spiritual Darkness in the Church

1. No more GOD’s manifestation in many churches.

2. The Devil’s manipulations such as fake miracles are abound.

3. Love for things of this world than love for GOD.

4. Holiness is scarce!

5. Faith in the LORD is rare!

6. Some people who have one problem goes to church and come back home with multiple predicaments!

7. High numbers of lukewarm, backsliding and ‘half-baked’ Christians.

8. The word of GOD in the Bible is less important when compared to the New Age teachings around us.

9. Many Christians cannot boost entering heaven but hide under grace. Can grace and sin dwell together?

10. Every church that has its own special doctrines or creed are blindfolded and under the influence of spiritual darkness of the Devil. Deceits of the highest order everywhere!

How to Overcome Spiritual Darkness in the Church

1. Let’s ask for forgiveness and retrace our steps back to the First Love we have in the LORD.

2. We must go back to the Word of GOD in the Bible without misrepresenting it to suit ourselves.

3. Stop believing your Pastor’s teachings if you cannot find it in the teachings of the LORD recorded in the Bible.

4. Only the teachings of Jesus Christ should be our doctrines.

5. Stay away from church that spend long hours of religious activities in the building without pushing you out to preach the Gospel.

6. Forget about church interested in your money for building mega church and other things of this world instead of blessing the poor.

7. You must understand that church should only be a gathering for Bible Studies, Singing Hymns and Prayers just like Jesus Christ did.

8. Your money which should be more than tithes (according to Jesus Christ) must be invested in lives of the poor around you and gospel missionary.

9. We would overcome spiritual darkness in the church if we all understand that Jesus Christ did not ask us to sit in buildings on Saturdays/Sundays but to preach the Gospel to the world.

10. Our leaders should stop portraying themselves to us as a ‘super-god’, distracting us from the real identity of Jesus Christ.

I am not disputing the fact that the Light of the LORD can wipe away every spiritual darkness in the church but that won’t happen without our choice because the LORD does not abuse His Power.

Similarly, Adam and Eve made the choice of eating the forbidden fruit, we made the choice to mingle with the world and GOD would never abuse His power on us. It is wise you make the choice of pulling out from the ‘civilization and technologies’ that takes your heart away from the LORD.

Kindly embrace the Holy Spirit who would teach and counsel you on the righteous way to survive this corrupt world so that you can find it possible to escape the hot judgment of the end time!

Spiritual Problem: 10 Steps for Christians to Overcome Distress!

If you are going through spiritual problem then please don’t be depressed because everyone would go through hurdles of life in one form or the other. Did you know that Jesus Christ went through spiritual problem when on earth as well? Were you told that Christians would also go through spiritual distress?

Today’s message would give you peace and solutions to any spiritual problem troubling your life.

“Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!”

“It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” (Luke 17:1-2)

Jesus Christ prepared our mind ahead by saying:

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Jesus Christ understands your spiritual problem because He had encountered such when He prayed to this Father:

“Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.” (Luke 22:42)

The Good News for you today is that Jesus Christ can help you out of your spiritual distress because He overcame and have the authority over spiritual problems.

What is Spiritual Suffering?

Spiritual suffering is a painful situation that disconnects someone from the LORD and every good thing about life. It can suck out the peace and power from the sufferer coupled with a strong wind of disbelief to crush the wounded victim…

I’d went through all the descriptions above…so painful…but I give GOD the glory, my life is victorious today!

What Causes Spiritual Problem?

Someone going through a terrible loss, emotional discomfort or health challenges can have spiritual distress if care is not taken. There are two major causes of spiritual problem:

1. Disobedience

The wage of sin is death and most times it is not necessarily the death that takes you to the grave quickly!

Sin is an act of disobedience. Disobedience to the commandments of the LORD can cause spiritual distress. Not obeying the common natural rules about your well-being can lead to health crisis that can affect your spiritual life as well.

2. Demonic Attack

Your holy status with the LORD does not mean the Devil cannot try to attack you. Demonic attack comes in various forms such as temptations and serious confrontations in the spirit realm.

What are Examples of Spiritual Distress?

Signs and symptoms of spiritual problem differs from one person to another, but once you can identify things that steal your joy then your victory is near. Example of spiritual distress is not limited to the following:

1. Depression

2. Anxiety

3. Steady Anger

4. Unbelief

5. Hopelessness

6. Suicidal thoughts

7. Fear to sleep

8. Asking many Questions without getting answer

9. Loss of sense of direction and conflicting frustration

10. Longing for spiritual help

10 Ways to Overcome Spiritual Problem

1. Write a long list to identify the source or causes of the trouble.

2. Study the Bible for relevant issues and solutions provided.

3. Be honest with yourself to confess and repent from any active sin or any repeated mistakes. Forgiveness is a powerful instrument.

4. Share your experience with a highly respected servant of GOD.

5. You cannot underestimate the power of fasting and prayers.

6. Listening and singing songs of praises to the LORD during tribulations can do wonders for you.

7. Recitation and meditating the word of GOD every minute would give you healing and victory.

8. Be faithful to the LORD and be obedient to His voice always. You can’t solve spiritual issues through carnal knowledge.

9. Wait patiently in the LORD during storms of life because impatience will make you sink deeper!

10. No matter how tough it could be, please do not allow fear to stay in your heart. Allow faith because fear has nothing to give than failure.

The Power of the LORD shall come upon your life as you obey the steps above and you would surely be delivered from all forms of spiritual problem in Jesus name.

This is the word of Jesus Christ for you too:

“Peace, I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

Dirty Mind in a Christian? 20 Steps for Your Perfect Cleansing!

Dirty Mind in a Christian? 20 Steps for Your Perfect Cleansing!

Dirty mind in a Christian is synonymous to a dog going back to its throw-up. Filthy mind occurs when you long to have sexual intimacy with an opposite sex you see. A perverted heart is unholy!

If you are presently going through a dirty mind and you feel bad finding it impossible to pull out of it, then today’s message will help you.

How Do You Get a Dirty Mind?

It is a pity that no one on earth has the power to stop the agents of dirty mind because they are everywhere including the church.

Our dressing style is speedily tending towards nakedness and many pastors never condemned the demonic style of dressing and cosmetics in our society.

Before the later end of the 19th century, anyone that dress or appears seductive is referred to as a whoreson dog, but it is unfortunate that presently half nakedness of people on the street is seen as a normal view.

Your heart can become filthy through the following:

1. Giving attention to secular advert on the television or magazine.

2. Fixing your eyes on opposite sex who may/may not dressed seductively.

3. Listening and enjoying the worldly music.

4. Watching porn

5. Immoral touch of the opposite sex can give a dirty mind

When Does Your Mind Gets Dirty

Everyone who has eyes to see and brain to interpret gets tempted every day. The difference is that a transformed Christian would wipe the dirt away before it sticks to the mind, but the careless Christian allows the dirt to stick which results to a dirty mind.

Jesus says: “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Matthew 5:28-29)

You don’t have a dirty mind when you look at opposite sex and take your eyes and heart away instantly!

But your mind gets dirty when you look at the opposite sex, admire the look in an indecent way, personalize the figure and long to have him or her on bed.

Your mind gets terribly perverted when you lust after same sex or you long to be transgender – it is an abomination to the LORD.

7 Terrible Effects of a Filthy Mind

1. It leads to fornication and adultery

2. Dirty mind corrupts the soul

3. Holy Spirit would desert from such heart

4. It gives room for the devil to oppress and depress such soul

5. You lose respect in the midst of reasonable people

6. Bankruptcy

7. Anyone with a dirty mind treks the path that leads to eternal punishment.

20 Ways to Overcome a Dirty Mind

1. Stay away from friends or people who delight in dirty talks.

2. Stop looking at someone for more than 1 second!

3. Don’t shift blame to the harlot-looking lady for your dirty mind.

4. You will be clean if you stop watching porn or any similar movie.

5. Self-control is a vital virtue that helps, so take charge of emotions.

6. Always do Bible recitation and consistent Bible studies.

7. Fill your mind with holy words and filthy thoughts won’t manifest.

8. Disallow your brain from analysing how he or she looks!

9. Improve your spiritual and physical discipline.

10. Be diligent in your spiritual and emotional training.

11. Tell yourself always that you are a faithful child of GOD!

12. Do not live your life with a passive mind, expecting GOD to play your role for you.

13. When your eyes see the ‘flesh’, instead of saying “wow!” it is wise to take your eyes away and whisper; “Blood of Jesus wash my face”!

14. Anointing does not cure dirty mind so always look away frequently when having a long talk with a seductive person.

15. If your mind gets dirty more often through watching television, you might need to shut it down until your heart is trained to watch only edifying programmes.

16. Avoid the beach because you can’t escape seeing the flesh in bikini that can stain your thoughts and make you dirty.

17. Don’t attend churches that allows seductive dressing because you would struggle so much with images that sucks your faith!

18. You won’t have a dirty mind if you are patient with your thoughts.

19. It is normal for opposite sex to be attractive but it is abnormal if you can’t control your desire.

20. Filthy mind can be cleaned through fasting and prayers.

I strongly encourage you to follow the steps above and your dirty mind would be cleaned permanently. Because, I followed the steps and my victory is permanent forever!

10 Truths About Soul Sleep that Christians Should Know!

10 Truths About Soul Sleep that Christians Should Know!

Soul sleep is a belief originated by some people who teaches that the soul of the dead sleeps without any action until the final day of resurrection and judgment by the LORD.

By the special grace of the LORD, I have the authority to teach this topic about soul sleep because GOD revealed a vision about consciousness of life after death to me.

Does a Dead Soul Truly Sleep?

“The LORD took me to His courtyard in a vision and I noticed the environment was very beautiful, clean, peaceful and quiet. He sits on His Throne of Judgment and there is a single row of dead souls before Him. I noticed the number of dead souls on the row increases continuously. And no one spends up to a femtosecond before the LORD.

He pronounces His judgment and no one argues with Him or complains that His judgment is not fair. There is an exit by the right and left side of the courtyard. I noticed after the pronouncement the judged souls do not need anyone to usher them to their appropriate exit route. Many souls walk through the left exit while very few walk through the right exit.”

I asked God to explain the vision and He told me to preach the following to the world:

1. “Tell everyone that it does not take Me a day to judge everyone on earth.” “I don’t count seconds the way you count on earth.”

2. “Once you die, your flesh rotten on earth but your soul and spirit are intact and I reform you to fit into the new existence. You receive instant judgement when you die and you either go to hell to suffer or heaven to enjoy till the day of final judgment.”

3. “Tell the world that many people are going to hell fire while saints are very few on the path to heaven.”

I was very scared after God’s message because the tone has no respect for anyone. If you are obedient then you would enjoy, but if you disobey despite your status as a Pastor, anointed Prophet, longest church member or whatever award you are given in the Church…then it will be a sorrowful day.

I pray you and I won’t miss heaven in Jesus name. GOD did not put up a procedure for soul sleep, so beware of such heresy originated from the Devil’s scheme to deceive us.   

10 Facts to Show that Soul Sleep is Heresy

1. You can never find such word in the Holy Book and neither the LORD nor Jesus Christ teaches soul sleep in the Bible.

2. The story of the rich man and Lazarus in ‘Abraham’s bosom’ shows that souls are not sleeping.

“…So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried… Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame…” (Luke 16:19-31)

3. Prophet Isaiah’s prophecy made it clear that souls in hades were not passive.

“Hell from beneath is excited about you, to meet you at your coming; It stirs up the dead for you, all the chief ones of the earth; It has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations…” (Isaiah 14:9-11)

4. Jesus Christ made it clear that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are not sleeping but alive.

“But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.” (Luke 20:37-38)

5. If Moses and Elijah were going through soul sleep then it would be impossible to join Jesus Christ during His prayer meeting.

“…And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him…” (Matthew 17:1-8)

6. Souls does not sleep and that is the reason they could cry for justice.

“And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” (Revelation 6:10)

7. Jesus Christ told the guy on the other cross to meet Him in paradise, thus both of them were not going to sleep in any realm and not at the purgatory.

“And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43)

8. The wisdom of the Holy Spirit in Apostle Peter made us to know that after death the body becomes rotten while your spirit continues to be active! (1 Peter 3:18-19)

9. “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrew 9:27)

10. Jesus Christ was around with His disciple for a while before ascension to heaven, if soul sleep was a true teaching, then that would have been impossible for Jesus to do. (Acts chapter 1)

 

Soul sleep is not real and does not exist. So, I want you to believe the teachings of the Prophets and Jesus Christ which proves that soul sleep is heresy. 

10 Ways to Overcome Spiritual Weakness!

Posted by Aug 7, 2022 Holy Word, Word of Faith 9 Comments
10 Ways to Overcome Spiritual Weakness!

Spiritual weakness is an inability to satisfy the LORD due to inadequate spiritual strength and a status of spiritual immaturity. It’s a serious cause for concern because Christians going through spiritual weakness are not active sinners and they are eager to move out of the poor status because they understand the consequences.

Today’s sermon will explain the cause and the best ways for you to overcome spiritual weakness.

6 Causes of Spiritual Weakness

1. Lost Focus in Jesus Christ

Any Christian who gives too much attention to their pastors than to the Almighty GOD will lose focus on the genuine teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was aware of this danger and that is the reason He discouraged His disciples from referring to any man as a spiritual father and He made it clear that the only Spiritual  Father we have is GOD.

2. Distractions by Things of the World

The world is overloaded with many features which can blindfold you easily. For instance; wealth, science and technology, social enjoyment etc.

3. Obeying Cultures that Contradicts Holiness

It is unfortunate that the church of our generation had mingled with the world. Many church leaders allowed worldly culture thinking that will make the church to be full…

4. Lack of Spiritual Nutrient

It is a dangerous act to miss the reading and meditation on the Word of God every day!

5. Miscommunication between you and the LORD

It is easy to disobey the voice of the Holy Spirit because God’s will for you always contradicts most of your wishes.

6. Over-Estimating your Spiritual Status

Your spiritual strength has nothing to do with your age or the number of years you’d spent in the Christian fold. Servants of GOD can lose spiritual strength through the uncontrollable pride that approaches the ceremonial awards presented to them.

The teachings of Jesus Christ do not support the presentation of awards to Christians when on earth because our rewards are in heaven. Presentation of awards is a worldly practice that was adopted into the Christendom and it is destructive to our spiritual status with the LORD.

5 Types of Spiritual Weakness

1. Unstable Faith

2. Inability to exhibit spiritual gifts

3. Retarded spiritual growth

4. Non-transformation; No distinction between you and unbelievers

5. Pride

7 Signs of Spiritual Weakness

1. Procrastination of doing the right things

2. Love for things of this world

3. Blind argument to justify your undisciplined status

4. Unreadiness to let go some characters

5. Private Prayer time is diminishing very fast

6. No more active Personal Bible study

7. Less resistance to temptation and expecting Jesus to do it for you.

10 Steps to Overcome Spiritual Weakness

1. Don’t reach a conclusion that there are some sins you cannot stop!

2. It is vital you increase your prayer time. I asked for spiritual strength and I was empowered steadily.

3. Stay away from societal culture and church doctrines that cannot be found in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

4. Always share the Good News of Jesus Christ online and offline and your spiritual strength will be restored.

5. You can overcome spiritual weakness if you abandon all books except the Holy Bible which is the only roadmap for a successful spiritual journey.

6. You’ll get spiritual power during consistent praise and worship, so don’t miss personal fellowship with the LORD every day.

7. Don’t take temptation for granted when it comes. Expect it every day but don’t give the evil suggestions a second thought rather squeeze it into the trash with the word of God.

8. Give everything about your heart to Jesus Christ.

Jesus says: “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” (Matthew 10:37)

9. Spiritual weakness is as a result of spiritual indiscipline, so you have to be a disciplined Soldier of Christ.

10. Check and Balance yourself every night before going to bed.

Jesus says: “Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Matthew 24:44)

The risk involved in staying too long in spiritual weakness is terrific. It leads to spiritual stunted growth, lukewarm and backsliding. I was once a weak Christians but when I followed the steps above the LORD made me stronger in His Holiness.

You cannot be spiritually strong by your intellectuals or by the church doctrines. You must be disciplined and consistent in personal relationship with the LORD – that’s the secret of your victory!
