Questions
What is considered truth is that which is applied, felt, and experienced personally in one’s own life. However, within religion, what is taught as “truth” is often an indirect realization gained through someone else’s—i.e., a third party’s—experience. This, in turn, constantly stirs up awakening, resolutions, and determinations. In reality, though, it is like eating a rice cake in a picture—appealing in appearance, but ultimately something you cannot actually eat. It is knowledge and theory that looks good but cannot be applied in a practical way. In other words, the so-called realizations you gain through religion, based on someone else’s experience, amount to nothing more than theoretical knowledge or intellectual value.
They are insights and knowledge that cannot be applied to your actual life. Meanwhile, the real and requiring questions that you need in your life and problems you face—such as ‘Why must I live through this suffering and hardship?’, ‘What am I living for?’, ‘Why is this issue occurring in my body?’, or ‘What must I believe and how must I live to become a true child of God’s truth?’—remain unanswered. Instead, you keep circling around the surface of things, stuck in place like a hamster running on a wheel, with no real change between ten years ago and now. And when asked what the true substance of your faith is in such a life, it becomes difficult to answer. In the face of this reality, this message offers the answers that resolve all your questions.

If pastors claim to have received the anointing that enables them to comprehend all things, then why do they prepare sermons by reading commentaries and books, and study with human intellect to graduate from seminary?
Quote from Guest on 2025-04-20, 7:18 am..
If it's true that receiving the Holy Spirit enables one to know all things of God, and that the anointing grants the wisdom and power to comprehend everything, then why is it that pastors who claim to have received such an all-encompassing anointing are not able to fully understand the Word, rely on commentaries and books to prepare their sermons, and graduate from seminaries through human study and intellect? Among them, not a single pastor could answer the questions I had, and those with at least some conscience would say things like, ‘Let’s pray and study it together,’ only to later avoid the topic with various excuses. Some would simply say, ‘Just believe,’ claiming my questions were a disruption to their ministry.
As we live in a reality that does not align with the content of the Bible, we are left frustrated, wishing we could fully know and understand all the providence and truths so that we could believe God's Word without a single doubt. Furthermore, if the church members claim to have received the Holy Spirit—who makes known all things of God—then why do they still rely on sermons from pastors at church? Why is there no evidence of even a mustard seed-sized faith that can move mountains? I simply can’t understand it.

Quote from Beautiful Mind on 2025-04-29, 4:19 amUnder the pretext of the Holy Spirit, the values being carried out today have gone beyond mere criticism and reproach from countless believers and unbelievers. They have reached the point where they are now hated, despised, and abhorred. The Holy Spirit claimed by today's religion, churches, and shepherds has already become a tool for justifying all forms of lawlessness, corruption, depravity, coercion, and falsehood.
There are not merely tens of thousands, but hundreds of millions who call themselves pastors claiming to have received the Holy Spirit, and likewise, hundreds of millions of believers who claim the same. Yet, there is not a single person who actually possesses the power of the Holy Spirit. For example, according to the Word that even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains, there is no one who raises the dead, makes the lame walk, or opens the eyes of the blind.
There is also not a single person who knows all the mysteries of heaven, all the mysteries of God, or all the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, pastors who claim to have received the Holy Spirit, unlike Christ who taught by answering the questions people truly wanted to know, have taught their congregations by forcing them to listen and obey blindly. Because of this indoctrination, countless believers, while living their lives in the world, remain unable to fully understand God's providence or the true content of the Word they desire to know. As a result, whenever they face real-life challenges, many inevitably experience doubt or wonder at least once, questioning, "Is there truly a God?"
However, there is virtually no teaching by a spirit who has thoroughly penetrated the truth of God — a spirit that can clearly and unmistakably resolve these questions based on the standard of God's justice, making people truly realize, deep within their hearts, that all human affairs and the entire world are within God's providence.
God is the Creator of all things and the Sovereign Lord over all creation. Therefore, if someone truly possesses the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) who comprehends everything about God, it would be natural for them to have nothing unknown to them. Yet in reality, among those who claim to have received the Holy Spirit, there is not a single pastor or believer who can truly confirm — based on the standard of Scripture — that they have genuinely received the Holy Spirit.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.(1 Corinthians 2 : 10)
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.(1 John 2 : 27)
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counseller hath taught him? With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?(Isaiah 40 : 13~14)
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.(1 John 2 : 20)
If one has truly received the Holy Spirit, who comprehends all things, there would be no need to rely on commentaries or interpretations, for they could fully explain the contents of the Bible. There would be no need to teach by bringing in worldly lessons, human wisdom, emotions, or common sense unrelated to the gospel of the kingdom of heaven and salvation. Nor would there be any need to rely on human books, life experiences, or secular proverbs and commandments. As the Word above states, if the anointing and the Holy Spirit truly teach all things through the heart, and if one has truly come to know all the mysteries of heaven and God, then that would be the unmistakable Spirit of Truth, the true Holy Spirit of God.
However, tragically, there are few who question why so many believers who claim to have received the Holy Spirit still attend churches and listen to pastors' sermons. This is because they have become blind believers who rely solely on sermons not centered on the Word. Moreover, if someone has received the anointing and the Holy Spirit that comprehends all things and claims to be a shepherd of God who knows and penetrates everything, there would be no need for them to prepare sermons by consulting human books, commentaries, or interpretations, nor would they need to maintain libraries resembling vast collections of human writings. Yet almost no one applies this cold, wise discernment based on the Word — a sad reality of today’s Christianity.
This is the greatest reason why today’s churches are inevitably descending from corruption to corruption, degeneration to degeneration.
Today, the reason so many believers easily fall into the traps of wicked heresies is because their faith is not based on reverent fear of the Word and on standards rooted in the Word, but is rather based on pastors’ teachings that interpret the Bible according to human preferences, drawing from human books and human-centered ideas and judgments.
In other words, if believers had been armed with true reverence for the Word and centered their lives on it, they would have discerned whether a pastor was truly teaching rightly or had become corrupted. They would have known whether the books they read were written based on true standards centered on the Word. If this had been the case, believers would not have become so easily swayed back and forth by churches and pastors armed with falsehood and distortion as they are today.
Most believers are not centered solely on the Word but rather have developed a biased, selective faith. They arm themselves only with verses or teachings from their church’s pastors that rationalize their own assertions and thoughts, without properly taking in and balancing all that the Bible records. As a result, they base their faith not on the entire Scriptures but only on a few interpreted verses, becoming adversaries to other parts of the Word without even realizing it.
Therefore, if one claims to have truly received the Holy Spirit, they must carefully, clearly, and unmistakably examine and compare to discern whether the Holy Spirit within them is truly based on the Word. Yet in reality, very few believers do so; instead, they have been conditioned by pastors, accepting repentance, rebirth, faith, love, the Holy Spirit, tongues, and prophecy — even when these have no basis in the true Word — to such an extreme that the limits of this distortion have become severe.
For example, the majority of what is called “tongues” among believers today is not the true tongues recorded in the Bible, but abominable, demonic tongues led by sorcery and magic under the influence of demons — yet they are spread as if they were the true tongues of Christ. Likewise, what is called "prophecy" today has degenerated into mere fortune-telling similar to that of shamans, yet it is presented as if it were the prophecy of God, further deceiving believers. This is the devastating reality of today’s Christianity.
Although there are countless teachings and writings available today, there is not a single book, not a single pastor who clearly and unmistakably records and teaches God's true standard for tongues and prophecy, guiding believers to discern the true tongues and prophecy of Christ. Therefore, it is inevitable that most believers are left wandering in confusion.
Will you take this opportunity to turn back, realizing that you have not yet truly received the Holy Spirit who comprehends all of God’s providence and order — the Spirit testified to in the Scriptures, the Spirit of the Creator and Ruler of all things?
Or will you stubbornly cling to your own spirit — which is nothing but an abominable sorcery and magic spirit, like that of a shaman, devoid of the power, evidence, and fruit of Christ — while deceiving yourself that it is the Holy Spirit?
This is your choice.
However, one thing is clear: the Word is God. Therefore, if you deny the written Word, stubbornly cling to your own spirit, and insist on your own ways, you are setting yourself above God, despising and scorning both God and His Word. You are nothing but an enemy of God and an antichrist.
Do not continue to dishonor the Holy Spirit.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.(John 1 : 1~3)
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.(Isaiah 34 : 16)
If there are hundreds of millions of Christians who claim to have received the Holy Spirit, and those who call themselves apostles bearing witness to Christ do not even know the true will of Christ, and those who claim to lead others to the Kingdom of Heaven (the New Jerusalem) do not even fully know the meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven (Jerusalem), who could possibly make sense of this?
If those who call themselves shepherds of Christ do not know the will of Christ nor the meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven (Jerusalem), yet claim to lead others there, is this not teaching and leading others without even knowing the way themselves?
Then what does it mean that hundreds of millions of believers claim to have received the Holy Spirit that comprehends all things?
Are we to believe that the Spirit of God does not even know the will of Christ or the meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven?
This is an issue that must be addressed and the truth must be clearly distinguished.
It concerns your soul and your life — it is a matter of utmost seriousness and importance.
Is this not something so absurd and outrageous that even worldly people would laugh at it?
Those who claim to possess the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) not only lack any power but also do not know the will of Christ or the meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven (Jerusalem). It is truly laughable — and at the same time utterly devastating.
Because it is these false spirits that teach and are taught, the churches and the world today are filled with abominable lies and forced falsehoods uttered by arrogant men, falsely called the Word of God, prophecy, power, and gifts.
Thus, these churches, which are entirely devoid of true evidence, true power, true experiences, and true fruits, are reserved for the coming day of judgment.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.(1 Corinthians 4 : 20)
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.(Deuteronomy 18 : 22)
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.(John 14 : 17)
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.(John 16 : 13~14)
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.(Colossians 1 : 26~29)
The fundamental purpose for which God created humanity was never so that people could simply feed themselves well and live comfortably as they do today.Rather, it was solely to grant the glory of becoming children of God who resemble Him.
In other words, it was to create children who resemble the Source of love — God Himself, who is the origin of love — that He sent the love of the Cross to this earth.
Thus, the love of the Cross is the divine nature that resembles God, making one worthy to become a child of God. It is the sign of salvation and resurrection, the way, the truth, and the life leading to becoming a child of salvation. Therefore, salvation without love cannot exist. Faith without love is dead. The Holy Spirit without love is false — a detestable spirit where Satan disguises himself as God, and a deluded prophecy, tongues, and anointing where the devil masquerades as Christ. That is why a church without the love of the Cross is a dead faith. The Holy Spirit — the Spirit of God — is the divine nature received from the Source of love, uniting with beautiful hearts of feeding, giving, caring, serving, and cherishing one another in acts of charity and service. Thus, the Holy Spirit exists only in those who bear the fruits of love, compassion, joy, gentleness, goodness, peace, self-control, patience, and obedience — those who grow in such fruit.
The Holy Spirit can never exist in those who pursue worldly desires, ambitions, satisfaction, and cravings, for those who chase after the world and the flesh can never embody the supreme law of loving and serving others as themselves. Instead, their lives are inevitably dominated by jealousy, envy, hatred, lust, pride, falsehood, and strife based on self-interest.
However, only those who abandon all worldly ideals, values, hopes, desires, and ambitions, and instead pursue the love of the Cross — feeding, giving, and caring for the poor and needy brothers and neighbors according to God's holy will — only they can possess the divine nature worthy of becoming children of God. Only they can possess the true love of Christ that leads to salvation — this love is the true Holy Spirit.
Yet today, the reason more and more churches teach and learn false Holy Spirits, false gifts, and deluded tongues (sorcery) under the influence of Satan and demons — pretending they are God’s grace and gifts — is because of those who see tithes and offerings not as means to feed the flock but as wealth to fill their insatiable greed.
These individuals offer hypocritical worship centered on their own material gain, stealing tithes and offerings, and have passed down a corrupted and false faith that has been compounded with lawlessness upon lawlessness, falsehood upon falsehood.
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.(Amos 3 : 7)
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.(2 Peter 1 : 17~21)
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.(Colossians 2 : 2~9)
God is the Sovereign Lord over all creation. Therefore, the Holy Spirit, who is the Sovereign Spirit over all creation, is the Spirit of complete understanding, the Spirit of truth, and the Spirit of the Word, who teaches all the deep mysteries of God and all the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Because He comprehends all things fully, there can be no reason for anyone who has received Him not to know the entire content of the Scriptures, nor is there any need to rely on human commentaries or interpretations based on intellect or intelligence. The Holy Spirit is never given according to worldly standards or human ways, for He is the wisdom of the heart that is obtained only from a gentle, peaceful, and pure heart. He is the powerful Word and the profound, marvelous mystery that can never be understood by human common sense — only those who have received the Holy Spirit can know it.
Thus, those who belong to the world and the flesh seek and teach only worldly lessons and emotional inspirations that fulfill desires for success, dreams, happiness, and cravings — things that have nothing to do with salvation. But those who belong to heaven teach only the heavenly wisdom and the mysteries of the Kingdom of God that lead to salvation.
Therefore, whether it is a pastor or a believer who claims to have received the Holy Spirit, anyone who seeks after worldly things belongs to the world, and anyone who seeks after fleshly things belongs to the flesh — meaning they have not received the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, the Source of love.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.(1 John 4 : 7~21)
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.(Romans 13 : 4~5)
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.(Nehemiah 9 : 20)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.(Galatians 5 : 22~23)
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.(John 15 : 9~14)
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.(Proverbs 14 : 31)
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.(Proverbs 19 : 16~17)
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.(2 Corinthians 9 : 8~9)
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.(Psalms 112 : 6~9)
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.(Matthew 12 : 7)
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.(Matthew 9 : 13)
Today, the "power of the Holy Spirit" that countless churches, pastors, and believers claim is, in reality, powers and gifts resembling the acts of shamans and spirit mediums who serve the gods and idols of the world — completely different from the contents of the Word.
Their violent, frenzied prayers and their repetitive, unintelligible words that resemble sorcery are repulsive to hear — calling upon Satan with disgusting spells while pretending it is the tongues of God. These are not the gifts of God but the gifts of Satan disguised as the gifts of God, led by the devil. The prayers of those who belong to the perishable world and the flesh are solely aimed at seeking their own perishable glory, hopes, and desires of the world. Thus, their sins and greed only grow larger. These are churches, pastors, and believers who, instead of truly being born again, repeat the cycle of sin and regret, eventually becoming so accustomed to sin that even their consciences become desolate — justifying their sins with cunning excuses and arguments.
Therefore, all churches that teach and learn to vainly seek worldly human desires, satisfactions, and ambitions inevitably become places where the prayers of the people are no different from those of the Gentiles — filled with vain hopes, ambitions, satisfactions, and worldly success. This is the result of corrupted faith that has turned personal desires into faith, the Word, and even into a god of their own making, aiming to serve both God and material wealth together with the world.(Exodus 20:7) (Deuteronomy 5:11)
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.(Exodus 20 : 7)
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:(Luke 12:29–31) (Matthew 6:31–32) (James 4:3–4)
Prayers that are not filled with the true hope of Christ that leads to salvation — but instead chase after selfish desires, satisfactions, and ambitions — inevitably fall into the deception of the spirit of the world, Satan, and the fleshly gods, who disguise themselves as Christ or angels according to God's providence and judgment.
Thus, through these vain faiths and prayers that pursue selfish desires, most churches today are openly spreading increasingly perverse tongues, abominable testimonies, and filthy spiritual gifts as if they were true.
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.(1 Kings 22 : 21~22)(2 Chronicles 18 : 20~22)
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.(2 Corinthians 11 : 13~15)
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;(1 Timothy 4 : 1~2)
Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.(Ezekiel 14 : 4~9)
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.(Isaiah 66 : 1~4)
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter? What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.(1 Corinthians 10 : 18~21)
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.(Jeremiah 13 : 10~11)(Jeremiah 9 : 13~14)(Hosea 9 : 3~4)(Hosea 2 : 8~13)
Many people today believe that if they pray unconditionally under the Cross or in the name of God and Christ, God and Christ will always listen. However, for those who seek only their worldly desires, satisfactions, and cravings, even their praises are not heard. This is because the fundamental reason God created humankind, sent His Word, appointed prophets, and sent the love of the Cross to this earth was entirely rooted in His deep love for humanity — to make them His eternal, glorious children. God’s holy grace and will exist for the purpose of shaping humans into the divine nature resembling God, making them worthy to become children of God. Thus, prayers that abandon this profound will and grace of God are reckless prayers, inevitably leading to being guided by Satan, whom God permits to act. Those who pray seeking the perishable, worldly satisfactions, desires, and cravings of the flesh are praying, worshiping, shepherding, and believing under the influence of the spirit of the world and the spirit of the flesh that operate according to their requests.
Thus: Those who seek the world are ruled by the god of the world. Those who seek material wealth are ruled by the god of materialism.
Those who seek greed are ruled by the god of greed. Those who seek bloodline are ruled by the god of bloodline. Those who seek affection are ruled by the god of affection. Those who seek lust are ruled by the god of lust. The proud are ruled by the god of pride.
The liars are ruled by the god of lies. Those who seek worldly knowledge are ruled by the god of knowledge. Those who cling only to theories are ruled by the god of theories. Thieves are ruled by the god of theft. The envious are ruled by the god of envy.
The quarrelsome are ruled by the god of strife. This is the world we live in.
Even though there are thousands, even hundreds of millions of pastors and churches, there is not a single one who informs and awakens people to these truths, because they themselves are already trying to serve both God and material things alongside the world. They have already been led astray by the gods of the world and flesh — Satan and demons. Thus, demonic tongues are increasingly spreading, disguised as God's tongues. Abominable testimonies and false witnesses are multiplying under the pretense of God's grace. Consequently, most churches today are places where filthy, false, and wicked miracles — falsely attributed to God’s gifts but in reality, the works of Satan and demons — are being spread.
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;(Ephesians 5 : 1~3)
Under the pretext of the Holy Spirit, the values being carried out today have gone beyond mere criticism and reproach from countless believers and unbelievers. They have reached the point where they are now hated, despised, and abhorred. The Holy Spirit claimed by today's religion, churches, and shepherds has already become a tool for justifying all forms of lawlessness, corruption, depravity, coercion, and falsehood.
There are not merely tens of thousands, but hundreds of millions who call themselves pastors claiming to have received the Holy Spirit, and likewise, hundreds of millions of believers who claim the same. Yet, there is not a single person who actually possesses the power of the Holy Spirit. For example, according to the Word that even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains, there is no one who raises the dead, makes the lame walk, or opens the eyes of the blind.
There is also not a single person who knows all the mysteries of heaven, all the mysteries of God, or all the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, pastors who claim to have received the Holy Spirit, unlike Christ who taught by answering the questions people truly wanted to know, have taught their congregations by forcing them to listen and obey blindly. Because of this indoctrination, countless believers, while living their lives in the world, remain unable to fully understand God's providence or the true content of the Word they desire to know. As a result, whenever they face real-life challenges, many inevitably experience doubt or wonder at least once, questioning, "Is there truly a God?"
However, there is virtually no teaching by a spirit who has thoroughly penetrated the truth of God — a spirit that can clearly and unmistakably resolve these questions based on the standard of God's justice, making people truly realize, deep within their hearts, that all human affairs and the entire world are within God's providence.
God is the Creator of all things and the Sovereign Lord over all creation. Therefore, if someone truly possesses the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) who comprehends everything about God, it would be natural for them to have nothing unknown to them. Yet in reality, among those who claim to have received the Holy Spirit, there is not a single pastor or believer who can truly confirm — based on the standard of Scripture — that they have genuinely received the Holy Spirit.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.(1 Corinthians 2 : 10)
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.(1 John 2 : 27)
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counseller hath taught him? With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?(Isaiah 40 : 13~14)
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.(1 John 2 : 20)
If one has truly received the Holy Spirit, who comprehends all things, there would be no need to rely on commentaries or interpretations, for they could fully explain the contents of the Bible. There would be no need to teach by bringing in worldly lessons, human wisdom, emotions, or common sense unrelated to the gospel of the kingdom of heaven and salvation. Nor would there be any need to rely on human books, life experiences, or secular proverbs and commandments. As the Word above states, if the anointing and the Holy Spirit truly teach all things through the heart, and if one has truly come to know all the mysteries of heaven and God, then that would be the unmistakable Spirit of Truth, the true Holy Spirit of God.
However, tragically, there are few who question why so many believers who claim to have received the Holy Spirit still attend churches and listen to pastors' sermons. This is because they have become blind believers who rely solely on sermons not centered on the Word. Moreover, if someone has received the anointing and the Holy Spirit that comprehends all things and claims to be a shepherd of God who knows and penetrates everything, there would be no need for them to prepare sermons by consulting human books, commentaries, or interpretations, nor would they need to maintain libraries resembling vast collections of human writings. Yet almost no one applies this cold, wise discernment based on the Word — a sad reality of today’s Christianity.
This is the greatest reason why today’s churches are inevitably descending from corruption to corruption, degeneration to degeneration.
Today, the reason so many believers easily fall into the traps of wicked heresies is because their faith is not based on reverent fear of the Word and on standards rooted in the Word, but is rather based on pastors’ teachings that interpret the Bible according to human preferences, drawing from human books and human-centered ideas and judgments.
In other words, if believers had been armed with true reverence for the Word and centered their lives on it, they would have discerned whether a pastor was truly teaching rightly or had become corrupted. They would have known whether the books they read were written based on true standards centered on the Word. If this had been the case, believers would not have become so easily swayed back and forth by churches and pastors armed with falsehood and distortion as they are today.
Most believers are not centered solely on the Word but rather have developed a biased, selective faith. They arm themselves only with verses or teachings from their church’s pastors that rationalize their own assertions and thoughts, without properly taking in and balancing all that the Bible records. As a result, they base their faith not on the entire Scriptures but only on a few interpreted verses, becoming adversaries to other parts of the Word without even realizing it.
Therefore, if one claims to have truly received the Holy Spirit, they must carefully, clearly, and unmistakably examine and compare to discern whether the Holy Spirit within them is truly based on the Word. Yet in reality, very few believers do so; instead, they have been conditioned by pastors, accepting repentance, rebirth, faith, love, the Holy Spirit, tongues, and prophecy — even when these have no basis in the true Word — to such an extreme that the limits of this distortion have become severe.
For example, the majority of what is called “tongues” among believers today is not the true tongues recorded in the Bible, but abominable, demonic tongues led by sorcery and magic under the influence of demons — yet they are spread as if they were the true tongues of Christ. Likewise, what is called "prophecy" today has degenerated into mere fortune-telling similar to that of shamans, yet it is presented as if it were the prophecy of God, further deceiving believers. This is the devastating reality of today’s Christianity.
Although there are countless teachings and writings available today, there is not a single book, not a single pastor who clearly and unmistakably records and teaches God's true standard for tongues and prophecy, guiding believers to discern the true tongues and prophecy of Christ. Therefore, it is inevitable that most believers are left wandering in confusion.
Will you take this opportunity to turn back, realizing that you have not yet truly received the Holy Spirit who comprehends all of God’s providence and order — the Spirit testified to in the Scriptures, the Spirit of the Creator and Ruler of all things?
Or will you stubbornly cling to your own spirit — which is nothing but an abominable sorcery and magic spirit, like that of a shaman, devoid of the power, evidence, and fruit of Christ — while deceiving yourself that it is the Holy Spirit?
This is your choice.
However, one thing is clear: the Word is God. Therefore, if you deny the written Word, stubbornly cling to your own spirit, and insist on your own ways, you are setting yourself above God, despising and scorning both God and His Word. You are nothing but an enemy of God and an antichrist.
Do not continue to dishonor the Holy Spirit.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.(John 1 : 1~3)
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.(Isaiah 34 : 16)
If there are hundreds of millions of Christians who claim to have received the Holy Spirit, and those who call themselves apostles bearing witness to Christ do not even know the true will of Christ, and those who claim to lead others to the Kingdom of Heaven (the New Jerusalem) do not even fully know the meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven (Jerusalem), who could possibly make sense of this?
If those who call themselves shepherds of Christ do not know the will of Christ nor the meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven (Jerusalem), yet claim to lead others there, is this not teaching and leading others without even knowing the way themselves?
Then what does it mean that hundreds of millions of believers claim to have received the Holy Spirit that comprehends all things?
Are we to believe that the Spirit of God does not even know the will of Christ or the meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven?
This is an issue that must be addressed and the truth must be clearly distinguished.
It concerns your soul and your life — it is a matter of utmost seriousness and importance.
Is this not something so absurd and outrageous that even worldly people would laugh at it?
Those who claim to possess the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) not only lack any power but also do not know the will of Christ or the meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven (Jerusalem). It is truly laughable — and at the same time utterly devastating.
Because it is these false spirits that teach and are taught, the churches and the world today are filled with abominable lies and forced falsehoods uttered by arrogant men, falsely called the Word of God, prophecy, power, and gifts.
Thus, these churches, which are entirely devoid of true evidence, true power, true experiences, and true fruits, are reserved for the coming day of judgment.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.(1 Corinthians 4 : 20)
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.(Deuteronomy 18 : 22)
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.(John 14 : 17)
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.(John 16 : 13~14)
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.(Colossians 1 : 26~29)
The fundamental purpose for which God created humanity was never so that people could simply feed themselves well and live comfortably as they do today.Rather, it was solely to grant the glory of becoming children of God who resemble Him.
In other words, it was to create children who resemble the Source of love — God Himself, who is the origin of love — that He sent the love of the Cross to this earth.
Thus, the love of the Cross is the divine nature that resembles God, making one worthy to become a child of God. It is the sign of salvation and resurrection, the way, the truth, and the life leading to becoming a child of salvation. Therefore, salvation without love cannot exist. Faith without love is dead. The Holy Spirit without love is false — a detestable spirit where Satan disguises himself as God, and a deluded prophecy, tongues, and anointing where the devil masquerades as Christ. That is why a church without the love of the Cross is a dead faith. The Holy Spirit — the Spirit of God — is the divine nature received from the Source of love, uniting with beautiful hearts of feeding, giving, caring, serving, and cherishing one another in acts of charity and service. Thus, the Holy Spirit exists only in those who bear the fruits of love, compassion, joy, gentleness, goodness, peace, self-control, patience, and obedience — those who grow in such fruit.
The Holy Spirit can never exist in those who pursue worldly desires, ambitions, satisfaction, and cravings, for those who chase after the world and the flesh can never embody the supreme law of loving and serving others as themselves. Instead, their lives are inevitably dominated by jealousy, envy, hatred, lust, pride, falsehood, and strife based on self-interest.
However, only those who abandon all worldly ideals, values, hopes, desires, and ambitions, and instead pursue the love of the Cross — feeding, giving, and caring for the poor and needy brothers and neighbors according to God's holy will — only they can possess the divine nature worthy of becoming children of God. Only they can possess the true love of Christ that leads to salvation — this love is the true Holy Spirit.
Yet today, the reason more and more churches teach and learn false Holy Spirits, false gifts, and deluded tongues (sorcery) under the influence of Satan and demons — pretending they are God’s grace and gifts — is because of those who see tithes and offerings not as means to feed the flock but as wealth to fill their insatiable greed.
These individuals offer hypocritical worship centered on their own material gain, stealing tithes and offerings, and have passed down a corrupted and false faith that has been compounded with lawlessness upon lawlessness, falsehood upon falsehood.
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.(Amos 3 : 7)
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.(2 Peter 1 : 17~21)
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.(Colossians 2 : 2~9)
God is the Sovereign Lord over all creation. Therefore, the Holy Spirit, who is the Sovereign Spirit over all creation, is the Spirit of complete understanding, the Spirit of truth, and the Spirit of the Word, who teaches all the deep mysteries of God and all the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Because He comprehends all things fully, there can be no reason for anyone who has received Him not to know the entire content of the Scriptures, nor is there any need to rely on human commentaries or interpretations based on intellect or intelligence. The Holy Spirit is never given according to worldly standards or human ways, for He is the wisdom of the heart that is obtained only from a gentle, peaceful, and pure heart. He is the powerful Word and the profound, marvelous mystery that can never be understood by human common sense — only those who have received the Holy Spirit can know it.
Thus, those who belong to the world and the flesh seek and teach only worldly lessons and emotional inspirations that fulfill desires for success, dreams, happiness, and cravings — things that have nothing to do with salvation. But those who belong to heaven teach only the heavenly wisdom and the mysteries of the Kingdom of God that lead to salvation.
Therefore, whether it is a pastor or a believer who claims to have received the Holy Spirit, anyone who seeks after worldly things belongs to the world, and anyone who seeks after fleshly things belongs to the flesh — meaning they have not received the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, the Source of love.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.(1 John 4 : 7~21)
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.(Romans 13 : 4~5)
Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.(Nehemiah 9 : 20)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.(Galatians 5 : 22~23)
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.(John 15 : 9~14)
He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.(Proverbs 14 : 31)
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.(Proverbs 19 : 16~17)
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.(2 Corinthians 9 : 8~9)
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.(Psalms 112 : 6~9)
But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.(Matthew 12 : 7)
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.(Matthew 9 : 13)
Today, the "power of the Holy Spirit" that countless churches, pastors, and believers claim is, in reality, powers and gifts resembling the acts of shamans and spirit mediums who serve the gods and idols of the world — completely different from the contents of the Word.
Their violent, frenzied prayers and their repetitive, unintelligible words that resemble sorcery are repulsive to hear — calling upon Satan with disgusting spells while pretending it is the tongues of God. These are not the gifts of God but the gifts of Satan disguised as the gifts of God, led by the devil. The prayers of those who belong to the perishable world and the flesh are solely aimed at seeking their own perishable glory, hopes, and desires of the world. Thus, their sins and greed only grow larger. These are churches, pastors, and believers who, instead of truly being born again, repeat the cycle of sin and regret, eventually becoming so accustomed to sin that even their consciences become desolate — justifying their sins with cunning excuses and arguments.
Therefore, all churches that teach and learn to vainly seek worldly human desires, satisfactions, and ambitions inevitably become places where the prayers of the people are no different from those of the Gentiles — filled with vain hopes, ambitions, satisfactions, and worldly success. This is the result of corrupted faith that has turned personal desires into faith, the Word, and even into a god of their own making, aiming to serve both God and material wealth together with the world.(Exodus 20:7) (Deuteronomy 5:11)
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.(Exodus 20 : 7)
And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:(Luke 12:29–31) (Matthew 6:31–32) (James 4:3–4)
Prayers that are not filled with the true hope of Christ that leads to salvation — but instead chase after selfish desires, satisfactions, and ambitions — inevitably fall into the deception of the spirit of the world, Satan, and the fleshly gods, who disguise themselves as Christ or angels according to God's providence and judgment.
Thus, through these vain faiths and prayers that pursue selfish desires, most churches today are openly spreading increasingly perverse tongues, abominable testimonies, and filthy spiritual gifts as if they were true.
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.(1 Kings 22 : 21~22)(2 Chronicles 18 : 20~22)
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.(2 Corinthians 11 : 13~15)
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;(1 Timothy 4 : 1~2)
Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations. For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.(Ezekiel 14 : 4~9)
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.(Isaiah 66 : 1~4)
Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the alter? What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.(1 Corinthians 10 : 18~21)
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.(Jeremiah 13 : 10~11)(Jeremiah 9 : 13~14)(Hosea 9 : 3~4)(Hosea 2 : 8~13)
Many people today believe that if they pray unconditionally under the Cross or in the name of God and Christ, God and Christ will always listen. However, for those who seek only their worldly desires, satisfactions, and cravings, even their praises are not heard. This is because the fundamental reason God created humankind, sent His Word, appointed prophets, and sent the love of the Cross to this earth was entirely rooted in His deep love for humanity — to make them His eternal, glorious children. God’s holy grace and will exist for the purpose of shaping humans into the divine nature resembling God, making them worthy to become children of God. Thus, prayers that abandon this profound will and grace of God are reckless prayers, inevitably leading to being guided by Satan, whom God permits to act. Those who pray seeking the perishable, worldly satisfactions, desires, and cravings of the flesh are praying, worshiping, shepherding, and believing under the influence of the spirit of the world and the spirit of the flesh that operate according to their requests.
Thus: Those who seek the world are ruled by the god of the world. Those who seek material wealth are ruled by the god of materialism.
Those who seek greed are ruled by the god of greed. Those who seek bloodline are ruled by the god of bloodline. Those who seek affection are ruled by the god of affection. Those who seek lust are ruled by the god of lust. The proud are ruled by the god of pride.
The liars are ruled by the god of lies. Those who seek worldly knowledge are ruled by the god of knowledge. Those who cling only to theories are ruled by the god of theories. Thieves are ruled by the god of theft. The envious are ruled by the god of envy.
The quarrelsome are ruled by the god of strife. This is the world we live in.
Even though there are thousands, even hundreds of millions of pastors and churches, there is not a single one who informs and awakens people to these truths, because they themselves are already trying to serve both God and material things alongside the world. They have already been led astray by the gods of the world and flesh — Satan and demons. Thus, demonic tongues are increasingly spreading, disguised as God's tongues. Abominable testimonies and false witnesses are multiplying under the pretense of God's grace. Consequently, most churches today are places where filthy, false, and wicked miracles — falsely attributed to God’s gifts but in reality, the works of Satan and demons — are being spread.
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;(Ephesians 5 : 1~3)
