The Church has been led astray by the different books, and false teachers. The generation of the Apostles had a form of teaching, and today, teachers are speaking watered down teaching, and nothing to do with making the Word effective, exciting, and have action. Rather, the Word has become a story book. We need to understand that when we take away from the original Word of God, a state of apostasy is created. The word apostasy means abandonment of the former loyalties or teaching; people who once have been enlightened by the Word of God, who have turned away from it, heaping to themselves teachers after their flesh. When you teach in this manner, you don’t hear the true understanding of the Word of God.

When walking in apostasy, you deceive, causing the believer to believe a lie; beguile and betray them; to dilute or mislead an understanding. Understanding the Word of God is the key meaning for the walk in your life. We allow ourselves to be led astray.

Galatians 6:1-10

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. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 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. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

People like to accuse others of not having the Word fully or not understanding the Word fully. When you say “that person doesn’t know what their talking about; that person doesn’t have an understanding; that person is just not learned of the Word.” You don’t know that. Many times people go through things; things are not where they should be. We are not perfect people. We try to obtain perfection through the Spirit.

Why are there so many people leaving the Church, coming back, and leaving again? When you have failures and inadequacies in your life, you tend to look for others who do not. Well, there aren’t people like that here on this Earth. We should allow God to order our steps instead, if we allow Him to do so. The apostasy comes when someone causes you to go astray because of what you have said or done. You are now attacking this brother or sister about what they are doing, instead of trying to understand them. Then you tell someone else, and you and those individuals act in accordance to your own personal understanding of the scriptures, causing them and yourself  to go astray; apostasy. We need to be careful how we entreat our brothers or sisters and those in the world.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-17

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

Verse 3- A falling of the structure, move, teaching and Word of God. Misinterpretation of what God said, misinterpretation of the Holy Ghost in your life; Satan will use that to pull you in a state of apostasy.

Mark 3:24-28

And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

If the Pastor and laity have problems, then that house can not stand it will fall. If you have a disagrement with a brother or sister, then you need to go to them. You can’t come to them out of anger, with an educated mentality or superiority mentality, but under the unction of the Holy Ghost. In the Church we are so defeated all the time, we don’t know when we have the victory. You can’t understand it because your are so caught up in you. “You aren’t teaching what I want to hear, You got to please me because its all about me.” But it is not about You, its about God.

Satan can’t come into a ministry or house unless the Pastor or head of house be bound with thoughts of corruption. If the man is on his job, he will be more aware of what goes on in his house. Satan only will attack those within the house when the head of the house is not strong. God is not mocked. What a man sows that will he reap. If you sow corruption in your house as the head of your house, you will reap corruption. God communicates with the man of the house and everyone under that man must follow suite, if the man is God fearing.

1 Timothy 4:1-11

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; 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. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. These things command and teach.

You have allowed apostasy to creep into your home. Some are even in the process of allowing Satan’s minions to destroy their house. Satan is highly organized; everyone has a responsibility in their ranks to succeed. Some shall fall from the faith, for many reasons. But one of the main reasons is teaching wrong doctrine and teaching man’s wisdom.

Mark 4:11-32

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

Be careful. You don’t know what sort of ground a seed was placed in. Someone will plant a seed and have someone else water it and God will give the increase. So if you are not on your job walking in Christ properly, the person whom you are suppose to witness to will be led astray. Be careful what you say and how you act when people’s souls are at stake. You can cause or be a part of the apostasy or be a part of the remedy.

God has given us the opportunity to bring more people into the kingdom. So its up to you as to whether you want God to move your walk along stronger, or be a hindrance o someone else. It all depends on you. How do you want your life to effect others?
