The dangers of Deception in a Christian Life

You must resist that spirit of backsliding!


 Jesus said that you must pray to overcome the temptation of your life, this means when you do not pray temptation will overtake you and you find yourself in sin. When every time you live a life that is overtaken by sin and temptation then it could mean that you are under the influence of the backsliding spirit.

We must resist the spirit of backsliding in our lives and we must live Jesus Christ. Our works should be the works of the Spirit of God not of the world. In the book of Revelation Jesus says to us that he knows the works that we are neither cold nor hot. 

Rev 3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou were cold or hot. 

Rev 3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

we must overcome this because Jesus overcame on the cross for us and he said that all things are finished. We have victory granted to us by Lord Jesus. My brother and sister, we must prevail over this sin. Backsliding is a sin unto God.

In the book of Jeremiah 31:22, we are asked how long will we go here and there and walk without course?

Jer 31:22  How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man. 

It is time to pray and call upon God to help us to stand strong and never be overtaken by the Spirit of backsliding. He is able to establish us in His ways. Just examine your life and understand the ground that you are established on, do you suffer from this sin of backsliding? Do you do things that are away from the will of God? If so let us pray to our faithful God to help us in Jesus' name.

Jude 1:24

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy

Prayer: Oh Lord help not to be overtaken by this spirit of backsliding in my life. Let my roots be established in your righteousness. I resist every worldly spirit and influence in the name of Jesus.

Jesus The Savoir

  When you live a life that does not recognize Jesus Christ, you are actually having no hope for life eternal. You cannot go to the father without Jesus( Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me).  Salvation is found in only one name, the name of Jesus Christ (Act 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none another name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved). Confess Jesus Christ in your life and be born again! (Rom 10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  Rom 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation).

Dealing with the spirit of the world

 Did you know that there are different spirits in the world that are not from God? The bible teaches us that we need to test every spirit and know which is from God and that which is of the world. Any spirit that denies Jesus Christ is of the world but that which accepts Jesus Christ is from God. John in his first letter tells us the two types of spirits;                          1Jn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  1Jn 4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ comes in the flesh is of God:  1Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.  1Jn 4:4  Y...

Truth the way to your freedom!

  Have you realized that when you fail to practise truth there are a lot of regrets that come into your life? Many people, families, and marriages do suffer a lot and get into bondage because of the falsehood that they tend to have. These problems come in times of decision making, choice-making, and many other more actions that we undertake. The foundation you raise in your life will depend on whether it is raised in truth or falsehood. If it is based on falsehood you will have a lot of cries in your life or what we call I wish I knew I could have done so and so. People who lie to get something or some favor or considerations in life do have the worst endings in life. Truth is the way to avoid such issues in life. If you call yourself the son of the Almighty God as it is written in the book of John 1:12 (But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name). Then you must understand that Jesus Christ is the truth, He wa...
