Peers

Some of your friends and acquaintances make it harder to hear God. Peers pressure you. They’re under the influence of the false teachers, lying counselors, and false prophets you’ve been avoiding. They work against you spiritually. Some of your most caustic contacts stir up fear within you, and you react to that fear instead of listening to God’s voice.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.” ~ 1 Corinthians 15:33

For Christ Shall Reign

For Christ shall reign
’till every enemy goes underfoot,
Until death is destroyed off His jewels,
‘Till all proclaim,
“His righteous judgments,
bring gladness and joy”
And all shall know that the heavens do rule.

I’m crossing over the border headed for heavens on high

I’m crossing over the border headed for heavens on high
And I’m bringing back this message to all
God has called you to live and not die.
God has called you to live and not die.
I’m crossing over the border behind the veil I now go.
He give the command. In righteousness stand.
Take my people to a place they don’t know.

Now you must cross over the border to your Father Whose living within
The time now has come for His will to be done.
I said time now has come for His will to be done.
I said time now has come for His will to be done.
I said time now has come for His will to be done.
And He’s appearing this time without sin.

Enemies from the outside distort your judgment. These are false teachers, lying counselors, and false prophets. They hide their lies in news media and education. They plant their seeds through the themes of movies, cartoons, and novels. They influence you through entertainment and magazines. They can be very subtle or in your face, but they have their effect. If you’re spending time with any of these, you may wonder why you aren’t making spiritual progress and why God’s voice is hard to discern. Wonder no longer.

A word of warning: false prophets always call real prophets false. It’s part of the game of putting light for darkness and darkness for light. Only in Christ will you have discernment between the genuine and the fake.

FLOW THOU SPIRIT

They gathered together at Pentecost
As Jesus commanded them.
The wind of the Spirit and tongues of flame,
Filled them with power from above.

CHORUS:
Flow thou Spirit of the living God,
Come thou and fill me with life from above.
Thou, O Spirit and fountain of God,
Fill all my being with love.

Then Peter stood and lifted his voice,
This promise is unto you;
And as many as the Lord shall call,
They shall be filled anew.

And so today I ask of you, Spirit of God,
Fill thou me.
As living water, flow thou forth
And fill all my being I pray.

Negative emotions are inner enemies. The other inner enemies are preconceptions. You may have heard about worldviews or paradigms. Worldviews and paradigms are preconceptions that seem real but aren’t real. They can deceive you. However, if you seek the Holy Spirit, He will begin to weaken those preconceptions and set you free.

EVERYTHING MUST BE RESTORED

If you listen to the Spirit,
He will lead you in the way.
Listen as you read your Bible.
Always listen as you pray.

Everything must be restored,
In the kingdom of the Lord.
Every line and every precept.
There’s no part you can ignore.
Every part must be restored,
That the Bible does record.
Lord, help me receive Your word to me.
Speak to me and cause my eyes to see.

Listen to the Spirit calling.
Listen to His voice so pure.
He will lead in righteous pathways.
He will make your footsteps sure.

CHORUS

Christ will lead you to His pattern,
As the Spirit you obey.
He will guide you to His Kingdom.
He will keep you in His way.

I’ll confess that I’ve made many mistakes. I’ve been deceived by false teaching, and my deception hurt those around me. I was seeking the mind of God, but my own stubborn will and emotions made me susceptible to deception. Which emotions tripped me? Feeling sorry for myself. Anger. Fear. Bitterness. Worrying that I was missing out. Wanting to be important. Religious pride. Wanting to prove myself right, better, or more understanding than others. Covetousness. Envy. Wanting people to like me. Those aren’t the only possible emotions that could cause problems. Those were my stumbling blocks. Those were the ones that made it hard for me to know the difference between God’s voice and my own voice.

Cognitive Dissonance

I confess that I suffered from cognitive dissonance as God was speaking to me about many of the truths. I grew up in a world of religion without the kind of power God shows you in Scripture. I grew up in a world of Christian Rationalism, Naturalism, and Materialism. As God peeled back the layers, each layer was difficult for me to accept. I kept asking, “Could this be true?” I didn’t just balk at one thing. I balked at many things God showed me. I just had trouble believing any of it. Fortunately, God didn’t unload everything on me at once. He spoon-fed me a little at a time. He was patient with my unbelief.

The choice before you is truth or deception. Truth is absolute by definition. Relative truth is at best just an opinion or at worst an outright lie. Reasoning based on anything less than truth is deception.

So, you know all truth and wisdom are hidden in Christ. And you know He is the secret key to knowing the truth. Now, you need some answers. How do you apply this to your life in a meaningful way? How do you discern Christ’s voice from all others? How do you grow up in Christ? How do you mature so it’s easier to walk in truth than to be deceived? Hang on tight. You’ll explore all that in the last section of this chapter titled God’s Endgame.

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. ~ Romans 1:18-20

Other translations say God revealed it, made it evident, showed it, or manifested it to them. God reveals reality through the things He has created. And God also speaks other ways. However, He never contradicts Himself. For instance, we’ve already mentioned no true divine revelation of any kind will ever contradict the Bible since God knows all things and can’t lie. God doesn’t get confused or make mistakes. He knows the end from the beginning and doesn’t need to change His mind or change His plan.

However, you must keep in mind that God’s plan has phases. For instance, God worked differently before Christ died and rose again than He worked after Christ died on the cross. That’s because some parts of the Old Covenant are fulfilled in Christ. God fulfilled some through the cross. God is now fulfilling some in you. For instance, the blood of animal sacrifices was a symbol that looked forward to the real sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for your sins. God fulfilled that sacrifice in Christ. God used circumcision and all the rituals of purification as symbols. They looked forward to the real removal of the flesh and purification of your hearts in this age. God is fulfilling that purification in you. God is removing your fleshly nature. And yet, Jesus said until heaven and earth shall pass away, not even one iota nor one stroke of a letter shall pass away from the law until everything is fulfilled.
