Satan will be working against you all the way, but God has given you a way to escape Satan’s schemes.

(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

Here is a little context:

Satan says the human mind can find truth without the benefit of divine revelation. God says all knowledge, wisdom, and understanding are hidden in Christ. The great false-prophet system tells the same lies from many sources. The great false prophet makes righteousness look silly or bigoted. It makes evil seem normal. It makes sin look cool or correct. It celebrates perversions of every kind. It falsely accuses those who are innocent. It says wickedness is good. It says goodness is wicked. It makes fake science into a god and casts a shadow of doubt on the Almighty God’s ability to do anything. It blurs the line between reality and make-believe. It promotes rebellion. Those who follow the false prophet are self-righteous but love violence and every evil thing.

And yet, many Christians get their information from the great false-prophet system. Many Christians get their information from other Christians who follow the great false-prophet system. They sincerely love Jesus, but their source of information is corrupt. No one can listen to the messages of the great false prophet without being affected.

Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared? ~ Proverbs 6:27-28 New King James Version

If you try to divide yourself and listen to both the Holy Ghost and the many messengers of the ungodly, you become double-minded. Then, you find it hard to tell the difference between God’s voice and all the other voices. You don’t mature in Christ. You don’t overcome sin. You become self-righteous and proud. The message of this age exalts the human intellect, but that message is vapor. Your intellect needs the flowing wisdom of Christ to be rational. And the culture keeps drifting further from Christ. That’s why the world is so crazy.

The thoughts of the ungodly have no substance. Once a mind embraces humanism, rationalism, and naturalism, it loses touch with reality. That mind can no longer discern between light and darkness, good and evil, or reality and make-believe. You can see this happening around you where those who claim to be the most intelligent have lost their minds.

These ungodly messages often dress in religious clothes. Virtually every cult quotes the Bible. Some Bible teachers are false teachers who don’t know Jesus Christ. They can be very convincing. Many of them are well-educated. They know their Bible inside and out. Some have many degrees. They have arguments prepared so they can twist every part of Scripture. They love to debate. They feed their egos. You will see false gifts, false prophecy, and false testimony. You will see false apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. You will see true apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers who make mistakes. Some of them claim they heard from God when God didn’t tell them anything. It’s easy for you to recognize the false voices that contradict Scripture. You need the Holy Spirit to detect those who interpret Scripture by the fallen human intellect or with doctrines from demons.

Christian Bible teachers sometimes misinterpret Scripture. They can hit the target in much of their teaching but miss the mark by miles in another part of their teaching. And they can stubbornly resist correction. They especially resist correction after they have become successful and popular.

If you ask God for wisdom, He will help you discern truth from error among your brothers and sisters who are trying to follow Christ. Not every word that comes out of the mouth of a Christian is from God. Apostle James said, “We all make many mistakes.” Satan and the fallen human mind try to imitate God’s voice through the Bible and every means of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible. Even though we’re born again, we Christians can misinterpret the Bible. I can think God is leading me when the strongholds in my mind are deceiving me. We’re in the interim between the promise and the full possession of the promise. As you direct your mind toward Christ the Holy Spirit will continue to form Christ in you until that day when no one can trick you.

You and I need to be open to discussing our beliefs with other Christians who may see things differently. I need to open myself to correction and consider that I might be wrong. If you disagree with another Christian on any matter, you can both go to Christ and ask Him to correct and instruct you. No one is above God’s correction. It’s easy for fallen humans to think they have such complete and correct doctrine that God can’t teach them anything. God says you don’t understand those things you think you understand. God gave you the Holy Spirit to lead you into ALL truth.

And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. ~ 1 Corinthians 8:2 New King James Version

You need to open your mind to God so He can teach you and correct you. You will hear many convincing messages that sound perfect but are not right. God will show you what’s right and what’s wrong if you ask Him. If you want to do God’s will, you will know God’s voice when you hear it. You’ll see that God’s voice is different from all the others. God will help you avoid the pitfalls of the many worldly voices.

It’s wonderful that you have Jesus Christ leading, teaching, and correcting you, but that’s just the first key God has given you. God intends to fully transfigure you into the likeness and image of Jesus Christ. God’s already shown you a little bit of His vision for you. As you walk with Him, He’ll show you more. It’s higher and deeper than you know. To go deeper, you’ll need all five keys. You need to know how to insert each key in sequence into God’s puzzling lock. You need to know how to avoid Satan’s deceptions and pitfalls. Satan will be working against you all the way, but God has given you a way to escape Satan’s schemes.

The narrow path is very narrow indeed. Whatever is not of faith is sin. That is, whatever God didn’t lead you to and do through you is sin. (Romans 14:23)

Rationalism is the prophetic word that proceeds from the god called intellect.
The prophetic word of rationalism is marked by the ability to justify any course of action or any philosophic paradigm.
The basis of rationalism is the belief that the intellect can reveal knowledge without the benefit of observation or any other source.
The prophetic word of rationalism will glorify anything except God and Jesus Christ, whether it be an organization, a person or persons, a doctrinal stand, a philosophy, a political ideology, or any part of the creation.
The prophetic word of rationalism can be heard throughout the land, from the campus of the university to the entertainment that is transmitted through all the various media. It can be heard from the news program to the sermon given from the pulpit of the local church building.
Numbers 15:39b Remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to go a whoring
1 Corinthians 2:14 The natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Proverbs 28:26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.
Jeremiah 23:16 Thus says the LORD of hosts, Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Jeremiah 9:13-15 And the LORD says, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Ezekiel 13:17 Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them
Ezekiel 13:22-23 Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: Therefore you shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and you shall know that I am the LORD.

The Transfiguring Power of Hearing, Seeing, Speaking, and Doing the Words of God

FAITH COMES: Jesus comes to be present in His body, progressively replacing our sinful nature with His godly nature until the day of His coming in completeness. His work in us is ongoing fulfilling and finishing the preparation of His bride. As we listen to God and allow Him to have his way in us, He leads, teaches, corrects, cares for, and protects us. His voice in our ears becomes faith in our hearts since “faith comes by hearing.” (Ro. 10:17) Thus, we can speak as oracles. Christ is speaking through His body as patterned in the Holy Scriptures with prophecy flowing forth, words of wisdom and knowledge, visions and dreams, anointed teachings and testimonies. God’s Word manifests in the body of Christ.

THE VISION: When God speaks His vision into your heart, you are like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror except that this is a spiritual mirror. (Ja. 1:23-25) You don’t see your flesh, but you see who you are in Christ, your ministry, which is Christ in you. (2 Co. 5:16) And you don’t see just your ministry in this mirror, but you see the glory of Christ in your brothers and sisters, and you love them with the love of the Lord. You’re seeing Christ’s entire body and yourself as a part, revealing what is and isn’t Christ the body. (1 Co. 11:29) Not only that, but you know what God is asking you to do or say right now. (Ro. 8:14)

GRACE WORKS: Once we have received God’s faith by hearing His Word, we must continue into the works that spring from grace since faith without works is dead. (Ja. 2:17) And He supplies His grace through faith (Ep. 2:8) so His grace says His words and does His works through us. (1 Co, 15:10) In other words, Jesus saves us from sin by grace. (1 Jn. 1:7) This is the true Sabbath Day rest when we cease from our own works as God ceased from His works. (He. 3:7-4:8) Righteousness is Jesus doing His works through us, which is how Jesus authors and finishes our faith. (He. 12:2) Since He is the Finisher, He finishes our faith by His grace. Our part is to yield our tongues, hands, feet, and our entire beings to His free gift of righteousness. (Ro.6:13)

RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS: Righteousness is unto holiness. (Ro. 6:19) Holiness is Christ formed in us. It’s a transfiguration from what we now are into what we are becoming. God is transfiguring us individually and as a body into the image of Christ. (2 Co. 3:18) When the Holy Spirit plants the Seed (the Word, which Christ), He builds up (edifies) Christ in us. Christ is the light, and when He grows in us, darkness (that rebellious fleshly nature) is diminished and has less power over us. Our natures change, and the veil is removed from our eyes little by little.

(He. 3:7-4:8) Righteousness is Jesus doing His works through us, which is how Jesus authors and finishes our faith. (He. 12:2) Since He is the Finisher, He finishes our faith by His grace. Our part is to yield our tongues, hands, feet, and our entire beings to His free gift of righteousness. (Ro.6:13)

RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTO HOLINESS: Righteousness is unto holiness. (Ro. 6:19) Holiness is Christ formed in us. It’s a transfiguration from what we now are into what we are becoming. God is transfiguring us individually and as a body into the image of Christ. (2 Co. 3:18) When the Holy Spirit plants the Seed (the Word, which Christ), He builds up (edifies) Christ in us. Christ is the light, and when He grows in us, darkness (that rebellious fleshly nature) is diminished and has less power over us. Our natures change, and the veil is removed from our eyes little by little.

WHATEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN: Sin is whatever is not of faith. (Ro. 14:23) To state it another way, any thought, word, or deed not authored by and finished by Jesus is a sin. While righteousness by grace through faith builds Christ and diminishes the fleshly nature, sin reverses the process. The Path of the just is a shining light growing brighter and brighter until that final day of completeness, progressively improving our discernment (Pr. 4:18, He. 5:14). In contrast, sin steps off that path to blur our vision and dull our spiritual senses. That’s why it’s so important that we focus on Christ and what He’s saying. Following visions other than the heavenly vision damages God’s temple, so we look to Jesus as He forms Himself within us.

CHRIST IN US CAN’T SIN: Christ, Who is forming Himself within us, cannot sin. (1 Jn. 3:9) The flesh can’t do righteousness. (Ro. 8:8) Righteousness is God’s grace saying God’s words and doing God’s acts through us. It’s an action. Holiness is a state of being that progresses from glory to glory. It’s Christ formed in us and the veil removed. In a very real sense, we are putting on the Lord, Jesus Christ without any provision for the flesh. (Ro. 13:14) The flesh fights against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh. (Ga. 5:17) The word for flesh in Greek is “sarx,” and it means the human body and our animal nature. Without Christ in us, we can be very clever like raccoons, but we are brute beasts merely reacting to what we sense around us and without any truth. (2 Pe. 2:12, Jd. 1:10) Without truth, there can be no rational thought. If Holy Spirit were not leading us, we would be lost, but now we are on the Path and are coming to know Christ.

THE INTIMACY OF KNOWING CHRIST: Jesus spoke of a day when He will have to say to some, “I never knew you.” (Mt. 7:23) The word “knew” can mean to perceive. However, it has a second meaning that makes more sense in the context. It refers to marriage and creating new life. The Father speaks the Living Word. And you, by grace through faith, submit to the Father to the point that He plants His Holy Seed (Christ) into your heart. Marriage is a type and shadow of this deep intimacy with Christ since intimacy in marriage produces new life. You then know Him in the sense that He creates new life in you. Christ is formed in you. In this intimacy, you are engaged in spiritual warfare, the battle for the mind.

HAVE A NEW MIND: We often think of repenting as changing our attitude or changing our direction, and that’s an acceptable way to think about it. However, God wants so much more than just a change in our attitudes or behaviors. The word “repent” in Scripture is literally “have a new mind. He intends to transfigure us into the very image and likeness of Christ. He speaks to us through our spirits to our minds and transfigures our minds from fleshly minds into the mind of Christ little by little and moment by moment throughout every day. God isn’t just looking for us to change our attitudes but to exchange our minds for His. He sows the Seed of His Word into our hearts repeatedly to accomplish this.

THE SOWER: In the Parable of the Sower, the Seed is the Word. That Word or Seed is the living Christ sown into our hearts. (Mt. 3:3-23) This Parable is about being born again, but it’s also about growing in Christ from glory to glory until the final day of His Parousia or Coming. That final day is about Christ the body coming into its own. Wisdom is this same Word from the Lord forming Christ in you. (Ja. 1:5-8) God’s wisdom is the river of God’s Word (Jesus) flowing in righteousness and holiness, delivering us from the darkness of sinful nature into the light and life in God’s presence. (1 Co. 1:30)

God’s already shown you a little bit of His vision for you.

(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

God leads through His Word (Jesus), and faith comes by hearing His leading and seeing His vision. Faith is the means of grace, and grace says God’s words and does God’s acts through us. As we yield the members of our bodies to God’s righteousness, we give God permission to plant the holy Seed (Jesus Christ, His Word) in our hearts.

INSUBORDINATION BRINGS POVERY: Insubordination simply means not subordinate, not obedient, not submitting to authority.
Any act that challenges God’s authority on any level is insubordination.
Today, egoism is the in thing. The media has blown up the image of man and made superstars of human trash.
The unchangeable God has established unchangeable authority.
Because men follow the way of Satan, violence fills this present day. It will grow worse as we approach the end of this age.
There can be no profaning the unchangeable authority of God wherever it is established in ministries.
A man walking under God’s direction, saying and doing God’s commands, becomes God’s responsibility.
To know one after the human is entirely different than knowing after the Spirit.
The structure of ministry in the church is somewhat like the anatomy, an infinity of member of interrelated parts.
The Church, as God designed it, should carry absolute authority.
When God speaks, you will hear absolute authority.
When God speaks, His words are in the absolute.
Authority in the absolute comes from God through the Son and is ministered by the Holy Spirit.
God’s earthly plan never goes awry. The voice of authority, if it is of God, cannot fail.
God may use a man, but a man must have God’s ability.
No one can live a spiritual life without Christ indwelling and His life becoming theirs.
The more yielded man becomes, the more he will hear the voice of the absolute.
The Church is the only place this absolute authority is functioning.
The corporate design of the Body of Christ has God-defined gifts and ministries to receive this [absolute] authority.
The authority of God that comes by the gift places a limitation by the ministry.
Every ministry has its limitation because it is dependent, not independent.
In the body of Christ, there is no such ministry as an independent one.
LESSONS ALL MUST LEARN: God’s authority must be obeyed unreservedly.
When there is a “thus saith the Lord,” it must come to pass. When He speaks, worlds shake.
You must accept, in the church, delegated authority; authority of your earthly husband and father as the family head; elders, or fathers, of the church are given authority to rule over the flock of God.
God always gives a gift and then a ministry before an office appointment.
Humility must dominate any man in divine position.
The church will carry unchanging authority so its government must be according to the pattern of God.
It is absolutely necessary to know how to be under authority. Sons of God are those who know the power of obeying.
Parental authority molds a child’s thinking and stabilizes its character.
There are no options for parents whether they correct a child. Failure here will produce a bewildered human being.
The sons of God have learned the secret of obeying.
Delegated authority is often rejected because the individual is seen and not the delegated authority.
Husbands are part of the delegated system of authority. They are not easily seen in this position.
The demands upon a husband relative to headship are exhausting until he learns to obey the authority of God.
Some husbands never yield to God, so they develop a carnal authority. This is devastating and keeps a union in turmoil.
True authority comes from God and is hindered by carnal mixture.
Carnal authority is ever changing, unstable with a limited foresight. Not so with divine authority.
A husband can appreciate the position of his wife submitting when he submits to his local elders.
Authority in isolation is powerless. The corporate design of the Body of Christ has divine muscle to rule with dignity and righteousness so that equity can cover the earth in judgment.
God has great plans for you. His plans are beyond what you could ever imagine.
