If You Compromise Your Walk in Christ, You’re Living a Lie Before Jesus’ Eyes

Have you ever been in a compromising situation or in a conversation where a question was asked of you in which that person wanted you to tell them the truth about themselves? Now the question arises in you mind, that sounds something like this: “why would they ask me a question like this?” Now in your mind you’re torn being straightforward or compromise yourself by telling them a little soft fluff instead of telling them the truth about themselves. How many times did you not tell someone the real truth because you where afraid of hurting their feelings? Or you didn’t tell a person the truth, due to the fact that it would expose the real you? There is a famous quote of 1808 by Sir Walter Scott: “Oh, what a tangled web we
weave when first we practice to deceive.” It’s so important that we do not get in a habit of compromise, because it only destroys you and causes mistrust in others.

2 Timothy 2:4-5 says:
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

You must never forget you’re at war for you soul! Some of you may say, didn’t Christ die for us? Yes He did and He also made a way for us to go back with Him too, but one thing you need to know is that you need to come to Him fully and desire Him plus deny yourself. Let’s see what the Word of God says.

Mark 8:34-38 says:
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

So the cost if you want to call it such, is that you cleave to Jesus Christ for your soul’s sake and not walk after the dark, no matter how temping it may be to you senses and emotions. A lot of times we tend to gravitate to things that we feel are right but we know it’s wrong, yet for the sake of saving face, we will go through with something even though we know it’s the wrong thing to do. In other words we compromise ourselves. This plays havoc on our soul and our relationship with Jesus Christ who we say we love.

2 Timothy 3:1-17 says:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their’s also was. 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

In my Conclusion: We have to be a light and an example for the world to see in our everyday lives.

Read with me James 1:21-27
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meeknessthe engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he
being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father
is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

For extra reading take a look at 2 Corinthians 6:14-17, and Proverbs 14:12-17
In Jesus name it is so!

We’ve Come This Far by Faith

Who or even what are we? Sometime in the coarse of our human existence, we’ve tried to move and live this life independent of others to carve out our own form of existence; only to come to this most awesome and very wise conclusion: We cannot do what we desire to achieve in life without help from another human being. God designed it that way, as we see in the narrative of Genesis where Yahweh God created all things.

18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Genesis 2:18

In this world of turmoil, confusion and the lack of confidence in one’s self, you need someone in your life to settle the feelings of longing and sometimes emotional, spiritual, and mental load sharing, to take you through another day. Now, what I just described to you is a day in the life of an average person in the world. So if this is what a person in this world needs, they are echoed when it comes to being a true follower of Jesus Christ as well.

As in the world you need to have someone that you can confide in, that won’t sell you away for some change. You can’t rely just on anybody. There is a quote that said, “You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends.” That’s where a true follower of Jesus Christ problems lie. So often we become so desperate, looking for the close to ideal friend or friends that we begin to settle for anything, to quiet that longing voice inside. We start to compromise our hearts, which in turn compromises our walk in Jesus Christ, leaving us open to attract forms of demonic influence.

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

2 Corinthians 6:14

This statement just doesn’t mean with a mate only, but also when looking for a friend. A Child of God shouldn’t try to find a friend but allow the Holy Ghost to fit you together to be yoked together.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28

In order to have friends, the Bible reads that you must show yourself friendly (Proverbs 18:24). So don’t be overwhelmed and preoccupied with this mind, because it will lead to getting worn.

1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Galatians 6:1-9

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. I’ll leave you with these word, remember who you serve,for your was bought with a price.

Romans 12:1-21

Amen.

What Spirit Has Attached to You If Any?

In this life, somebody will always desire to be like the person they’re not. They will go as far as to mimic the ways of others and even begin to say and pray that whatever spirit that is attracted to them they want it to be attached to themselves as well. Look at some entertainers like Beyoncé. The spirit is attracted to her call Sasha Fierce, and other entertainers. These people are very voiceterous about how there is a spirit that inhabits them every time they perform. Also when it comes to magicians, most have sold their souls to Satan. Sports figures as well. Do you want to compromise your salvation for wealth and fame? A lot of people try to be like someone else famous to impress others. You begin to carry yourself and act like someone else . We want something to be attached to us because we want to be like that person . God made you the way you are. There is a reason for you in God eyes, and to find out what it could be is your gold in this life an through gift of the Holy Ghost you will know the truth. God doesn’t aloud things to happen to you because he don’t love you, he making you not breaking you. He made you the way you are because there is something in you that can draw others to him . I often think that if I could have been this or that in life is what I wanted to be, it isn’t what He wanted me to be. When I went against His will, I got sick. I don’t want the wrong spirit attached to me to cause me to hate Him. We have to really look seriously at the people we’re around. The Bible says try the spirit to see if its of God. If the spirit isn’t right then you need to separate yourself from it. We want to attach ourselves to something but that isn’t always good.

So I ask you, “what spirit has attracted to you?” Sometime our lifestyles will dictate what type of spirit will attach itself to us. Demons will get into your life to mess up your life so you’ll never find Christ. Anyone can kick against something that is openly evil, but an innocent little book like Harry Potter, “oks” the spirits that are inside of you. There are actual incantations in the Harry Potter Books that real witches have validated. Kids read these books, and they are reading a demon right into their lives. The parents say that its innocent. But someone who doesn’t know Christ doesn’t know what’s innocent and what isn’t. The Wigi Board is one of the most widely used games in the world. Demons are maneuvering the board. You can receive a demonic spirit attachment, without even asking for it, just by playing with the game. Because Satan wants to bind you to this world and to your miss guided life. Many people don’t realize, if you use the devices of Satan an his demons , then this will open a rip or doorway in to your soul, then demons will alter your perception of the truth. If your mindsets was open before to the idea of doing things wrong sometime, then that which was wrong an evil before will become normal to you in life, because you aloud that door to be open in your heart . There many different types of demons are attached to all type of objects an things and personality, life style . Laziness, is a spirit, if you know someone who is lazy. The Bible gives descriptions that denote being lazy and these are found in Proverbs 26:14-16. People who are lazy are excuse makers. You’ll find every excuse under the sun. Maybe if you are a liar, or a thief.

14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. 15 The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.

Proverbs 26:14-16

13 The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.

Proverbs 22:13

4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Proverbs 13:4

People who have a demon attached to them want to be near you. When you get squeezed into a corner and you can’t get away, then start speaking the Word of God out of your mouth, with power and authority ;then they will cower. If you hold your peace, and let Him fight your battles, He will cast them out. If you don’t have the Holy Ghost in you, turn around and run. The Holy Ghost will separate the real Christians from the fake ones. There is no Holy Spirit, only a Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit was then in the Old Testament as God, and Jesus is the Holy Ghost in the New Testament . When you try their spirit with the Holy Ghost in you, that spirit will flee. It will leave you alone because it knows you are right child of Jesus and its wrong one.

If you slip into comfortable state of mind, then you run the chance of being seduced by one or more of these types of spirits. How many people see you accepting of lesbianism, homosexuality, alcoholism, lying, thievery; if you accept these, then you run the the risk of those things visiting your life.

1 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; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

1 Timothy 4:1-3

In this society today it has become acceptable to practice witchcraft. It has gotten so bad today, that people are openly practicing satanic worship in the arm forces and also have satanic temples in almost every community across our country let alone the world. In the military there is a saying, “there is no atheist in a fox hole.” But I declare to you now you don’t know what you will find in a fox hole today. It might be an atheist, devil worshiper, gator, lesbian, axe murderer or whatever. There are more gays in the military today than ever. Before, you couldn’t enter into the military if you were gay.

Even when it comes to some of the smartest men and woman in the world, they even have enough common sense to know whats happening in the world around them. For example, the celebrations of the the largest Hadron Collider or what is known as a very big partial accelerator. They celebrated the completion and grand opening of by having a Satanic show of worship on the grows before all the dignitaries for around the world. To make it even worse, the ceremony was performed by the technicians, workers and the scientist themselves. They also performed a mock up sacrifice live on T.V. There was also a nude individual doing a Saturnalia act on a float and hundreds of participants were involved. Malcom X said at one time that if a person doesn’t stand for something, they will fall for anything. So I ask you, “What do you stand for?” You need to find out where you are with God. Because if you don’t know Him, you’ll fall for anything.

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

2 Timothy 3:1-6

As you can see today men’s hearts have so drastically changed that they’re more open and unashamed people, acting out their freshly mind and will to satisfy their emotions, instead of truth, wisdom, and understanding. We must understand we wrestle not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). People have turned away from the truth and now put their trust in themselves and have even begun to turn to old fairies tales.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.


2 timothy 4:3-6

These days people are doing things they want to do, and they want you to validate the things that they do, and who they are. That is why, what must you do as sisters in the Lord? Com out from among them…leave them alone. Sometimes you’re a better light leaving someone in sin, than staying in their presence. If you don’t they will drag you down. Can any lie or act of darkness inhabit the Kingdom of Heaven? In my conclusion: as usual I’ll leave you with these words of wisdom, believe not every spirit (1 john 4:1) and secondly the Bible said evil is always present.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.


Romans 7:14-25

Thanks for reading, and may God open your eyes to His Word; and it is so.
