Get Delivered and Set Free This New Year!

THIS here is an addiction chart from Association of Biblical Counselors, part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, of which I am a member.

Courtesy of A.B.C.

THIS addiction chart is for ANY type of addiction a person may have; it starts with the pride/lust for whatever it is that the person thinks they must have. Following the path of decline in the chart, unfortunately picking up more demonic strongholds along the way (because in REALITY, that IS what they all are, no matter HOW they got there, or WHO let them “in” to that individual), the person not only becomes weaker and more susceptible to becoming a prisoner of the addiction, in the end, there is ALWAYS remorse, guilt, and could lead to destruction/death of that individual, IF they do NOT recognize their need for DELIVERANCE of those addictive strongholds.

IN THIS NEW YEAR, I wanted to start putting posts up 1-2 a month (on my professional FB page and/or blog page), or as many as the Holy Spirit leads me to, about the many different ways humans allow themselves to have strongholds, and the several enticing paths that the enemy of our souls deceptively lead humans down, to become CAPTIVES of those strongholds, making them feel like there is no way out.

Those strongholds come into a person FIRST through the THOUGHTS in their minds–the FIERY DARTS (Eph. 6:16, KJV) that Satan and the demonic entities entice a person with. Those “fiery darts” most of the time are something of an “Achille’s heel” to a person, whether it be alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gluttony, etc.

The evil ones KNOW us better than we know ourselves. They have been here for several MILLENNIA, watching, observing, “taking notes”, and knowing just how to STRIKE at their “opponent”–the human being, BECAUSE we are made in the image of the Most High God (Genesis 1:26-27).

BUT FIRST, I must address a very GRAVE and serious issue that I have come to realize within the Body of Christ, when it comes to the written ✡️📖✝️Word of God.

It’s one thing for a human being that has no desire to believe or heed the Word of God. They automatically deny everything about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit when that individual aligns themselves with any other god/cult/false religion that exists in this demonically infested world we live in.

The LORD God, since the days of Genesis and the Garden of Eden, HAS ALLOWED us human beings to CHOOSE whether or not we will give allegiance to HIM and His Word, or, to follow our own fleshly desires, and continue on the path of destruction, which unfortunately leads to what is called the eternal “second death” in the Lake of 🔥Fire (see Revelation 20:11-15).

THE ONLY WAY to escape that, is to ACKNOWLEDGE and REPENT of one’s sins, ACCEPT the LORD JESUS CHRIST as BOTH Savior AND LORD of their lives, and–very important–seek to be DELIVERED and SET FREE from any and all spiritual strongholds and bondages that have been in their lives, keeping them from living the purposeful life in Christ, that the LORD God destined for each and every human being.

EACH and every person MUST be tested, just like Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. The LORD God Elohim ALLOWED that serpent–(HaSatan/Lucifer/the devil–see Isaiah 14:12-14, Ezekiel 28:13-16; Rev. 12:9) to TEMPT Earth’s first human beings.
What was now being disguised as a Serpent to Adam and Eve became rebellious in his service and ministry to the LORD God (he WAS an anointed Guardian Cherub of the rank of the supernatural entities called Cherubim in the Kingdom of Heaven)

I know that even many Christians cannot wrap their heads around the BIBLICAL FACT that the LORD God HAS ALLOWED the evil ones SUCH as HaSatan, to “roam about, seeking whom they may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). It is not only to TEST us, but to also see where our ALLEGIANCE lies–whether it be with the Most High God and taking Him at His Word, OR–aligning oneself to one or more of the gods of this world, that the LORD God told us in His commandments to “have no other gods before/besides Me” (Ex. 20:3); nor are we to have made any pagan carved images of those gods, and then pray and worship them (Ex. 20:4-5) instead of the Most High God. The LORD was very plain in His speech throughout the Old and New Testaments, that NO OTHER GODS were to come before HIM and usurp His authority in any way.

But even Christians have allowed those demonic entities to fool them in one way or another, and deceive them into not only acknowledging, but some have even served AND worshipped, those demonic entities that parade around as gods TO THIS DAY. As absurd as it sounds, we see it happening all around us–many so-called faith leaders have done EXACTLY what the OT prophets, the Lord Jesus, the apostles John, Paul, and Peter warned us that they would do in the coming last days–depart from the true Faith, and be turned to idols, false teachers (2 Cor. 11:13; 2 Peter 2:1), false Christs (Matt. 24:24), false prophets (Matt. 7:15; 24:11; Mk. 13;22), and false gods (Jer. 14:22; 18:15; Zech. 10:2), leading them to their eternal death and destruction (Rev. 20:10-15).

WE ARE to TEST these spirits (1 John 4:1-3), to see whether they are true or false! It’s obvious that MANY human beings have to their eternal detriment, NOT tested those spirits, and have aligned themselves with such false teachers, prophets, gods, etc.

WE ARE LIVING in the days that 2 Timothy spoke about when it comes to having to preach the word when it is NOT welcomed in the increasingly demonic and fleshly-ruled world system we live in–“For the TIME is coming (and IS NOW HERE!) when people will NOT endure sound (spiritually healthy) teaching, but HAVING ITCHING EARS they will accumulate to themselves teachers (false teachers!) to SUIT THEIR OWN passions, TURNING AWAY from listening to the TRUTH (of God’s Word!) and wander off into MYTHS (lies of the devil)” (see 2 Tim. 4:1-5 for the entire passage in context).

Even church leaders from all the different splintered sects try and either dismiss God’s ✡️📖✝️written Word, ignoring what He has said, or worse yet, break the commandment written in Deuteronomy 4:2–“You shall NOT add to the word that I command you, NOR take from it, that you may KEEP the commandments of the LORD your God that I COMMAND YOU.”

In other words, DON’T PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BELIEVE IN THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD’S WRITTEN ✡️📖✝️WORD (see Acts 20:27).

I would also like to add here, the warning given by the Apostle John in Revelation 18-19, which solidifies and backs up Deuteronomy 4:2–(I obviously added the emojis for effect):

(v18)”I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: ✨if anyone adds ✨to them, God will add to him the 💥plagues 💥described in this book, (v19) and if ✨anyone takes away ✨from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will 💥take away 💥his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City, which are described in this 📖book.”

The blatant disrespect for God’s Word, and the rebellious ways I have seen and heard some so-called “Christian” churches in the 21st century handle God’s Word (truly most of them are the Laodicean churches mentioned in Revelation 3:14-19!)–it is only BY the LORD Jesus’ blood that HE shed on the Cross for us ALL, that keeps certain individual church leaders ALIVE, allowing them to WAKE UP the next day, in order to REPENT before God’s mercy ENDS for them!!

Those rabbinical and church leaders seem to forget (and I won’t put all those biblical verses here–you can look it up for yourselves) just HOW MUCH they are going to be held RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for NOT heeding the Word of God themselves, AND also, for not TEACHING and PREACHING the whole counsel of God to their congregations! As the Lord Jesus Himself said, “Everyone to whom MUCH was given, of him MUCH MORE will be required…” (Luke 12:48).

Those servants of God who dared to preach and teach His Word, YET, who instead of led MILLIONS (and for those false teachers/prophets/cult leaders–BILLIONS) to their eternal death, BECAUSE they refused to HUMBLY ADHERE TO and PREACH the whole counsel of God, THEIR ETERNAL DESTINATION will be the LAKE 🔥of 🔥FIRE, UNLESS THEY REPENT.

I am making this a LONG post THIS time on purpose, in order take the time out to make you, the reader, realize HOW SERIOUS it is to take God’s Word AS TRUTH, especially if you call yourself a “Christian”. This will stay on my page, and I will also add it to my blog page (see my bio for link), so others can see and read it, in order to go back and reference all the Scriptural verses as I present many more posts that deal with all types of demonic doorways, infiltrations, infestations into people’s lives, vexations, obsessions, oppressions, and sometimes even possessions (that can only be dealt with the person being exorcised and delivered by professional exorcists and deliverance workers by that point).

The Holy Spirit is the one SINCE the time of PENTECOST (Acts 2), to DWELL IN and work THROUGH every person who TRULY has “called upon the name of the LORD to be saved” (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21). It is HE, the same SPIRIT, Who works IN and through ME (see Act 2:38)–and every other true servant of the Most High God, BECAUSE that is the GIFT we all receive when we become true children of God. He SPEAKS to all those WILLING to HEAR what He has to say (see such verses as Eze. 3:27; Matt. 11:15; Mk. 4:23; Rev. 2:7, 11; 3:6; 13:9).

The Holy Spirit, Who is GOD in the THIRD PERSON of the TRIUNE GODHEAD, is responsible for CONVICTING (see Jn. 16:8), teaching, correcting, chastising, comforting, encouraging, emboldening, etc. (see Jn. 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:13) each and every CHILD of GOD that confesses Jesus as Lord (see Jn. 3:3, 5, 7; Jn. 1:12).

WE who confess to be children of the Most High God and our Lord Jesus Christ–our bodies become HIS TEMPLE (see 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19; Eph. 2:21) that the LIVING SPIRIT of GOD dwells in.

HOPEFULLY now you will realize how serious it is to not only call yourself a Christian, but more importantly, to BELIEVE and ACCEPT (even though we do NOT understand ALL that God says and does in His Word and in our daily faith walk with Him–we cannot possibly understand it all–see Isaiah 55:8-9) the WHOLE COUNSEL of His Word, TRUSTING that in time, the Spirit (if you give Him the opportunity TO speak to you) WILL teach and explain these things to you, that you do not comprehend in God’s Word.

IN ORDER for a person to completely be SET FREE and DELIVERED from any and all mental (because it always starts with those fiery darts!), emotional, physical, and obviously SPIRITUAL demonic bondages, a person MUST HUMBLE THEMSELVES, forsake ANY and ALL other false belief systems/pagan practices/gods, etc. –EVEN the false or exaggerated traditions that have transpired in certain Christian churches/circles, etc.–REPENT of our sins (see Romans 3:10,20, 23; 6:23) CONFESS those sins (Rom. 10:9-10), calling upon the name of the LORD to be saved (Rom. 10:13), and ALLOW the LORD God through the HOLY SPIRIT to CLEANSE you from your sins (see 1 John 1:9) through CONFESSION of them, WASH you in the WATER of God’s Word (see Eph. 5:26), rid you of all those evil, demonic strongholds that have been keeping you deaf, dumb, and blind to God’s truth in His Word.

ONCE you truly do that, you WILL be a child of God; you WILL have “put off the works of darkness and (have) put on the armor of light (Rom. 13:12), and MOST importantly, having the HOLY SPIRIT of God IN you, to work THROUGH you, you would have then “…put on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and make no provision for the FLESH, to gratify its desires” (Rom. 13:14) in you any longer!!

ONCE an individual has “put on” and IN themselves, the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives, they THEN will receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh–the HOLY SPIRIT to DWELL IN them (and ONLY then, will they receive Him–that is how you know WHO truly is a child of the King–by the spiritual CHANGES that happen in their lives!). That person WILL allow their spirit, soul (mind, will, intellect), AND body (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23 to see that we ARE made up OF PRIMARILY, spirit, THEN soul, THEN our fleshly COVERING–NOT the opposite way like the demonic world makes humans think it is!) to come under the RULE of the HOLY SPIRIT, Who is ONE with the FATHER and the SON.

EPHESIANS 4:4-6 spell it out for us as well how we are to be ONE with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, AND HIS WORD–that CANNOT be left out–(after all, does John 1:1,14 tell us plainly that CHRIST IS THE literal and living WORD OF GOD?) –and I’ll end the post with this passage, and interject within the passage as well:

“There is ONE BODY and ONE SPIRIT (any other spirit that exists in a person’s body is a DEMONIC SPIRIT)–just as you were CALLED to the ONE HOPE (JESUS) that belongs to your call–
ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD and Father of ALL, Who is over all, and THROUGH all, and IN ALL (of His children).”

LISTEN to the Voice and Teachings of the Holy Spirit!

I did not expect this post to be this long when I initially was sharing this video, but when the Holy Spirit has something to say–I don’t hinder Him from “speaking” through me via these posts, so here you go…

https://youtube.com/shorts/0mezsV0-kxg?si=-LIylbFwi8SatRJV

As the late great Dr. Michael Heiser stated, the early Church fathers knew the truth and TAUGHT it, yet somehow down through the centuries the traditions took over = the church leaders got sloppy with no longer properly exegeting biblical texts, in order to interpret them correctly according to CONTEXT.

FOR EXAMPLE, what is being spoken about in this very short video–
The erroneous notion of fallen angels being the demons is widely known, taught, and accepted within many Christian sects of the Body of Christ.

BUT–it is WRONG. Just because they taught it to you, doesn’t mean you blindly accept it. YES–the church leaders (whatever title they fall under–rabbi, priest, pastor, bishop, etc.) ARE and WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for NOT properly teaching the Word 📖of God–the WHOLE✡️📖✝️WORD of God–from GENESIS through REVELATION!!

BUT we who PROFESS to be Christians, are ALSO held equally responsible for reading and studying God’s Word on our OWN! Some church leasers down through the millennia, have discouraged reading the Bible because of how one may wrongly interpret the passages; other leaders used it to control their congregations (let’s be honest!), and only taught them what they wanted them to know!

📖If one looks at such verses as Luke 12:12, John 14:26, 15:26, 16:13, and pretty much all of the book of ACTS, one will see just how much the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT was saying, teaching, and doing WITHIN the BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS of the Church after Christ’s resurrection and ascension into Heaven. It was and IS, HE that continues to teach and guide the person who confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Rom. 3:10,23; 10:9-10, 13), became a child of God (Jn. 1:12) and who received the Holy Spirit (Jn 20:22; Acts 1:8; 2:4, 33,38) in order to become BORN AGAIN (Jn. 3:3,5,7) SPIRIT-FILLED believers of God.

OH–and as far as “interpretations” and “versions” of the Bible that many people use as excuses to either NOT read or study, or say it all lends to confusion and division of the Body of Christ–you’re partially correct–the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41), along with those demonic entities that “roam about, seeking whom they may devour” (1 Peter 5:8) know that if you do NOT resist him in your FAITH (1 Peter 5:9), wearing the armor of God daily (Eph. 6:10-18), and USE the authority given to you the believer by the Lord Jesus Christ to tread on those demonic serpents (like the one in Genesis 3!) and scorpions (see Luke 10:19), you WILL be deceived into thinking that there are errors and contradictions in Scripture, and will end up NOT taking God’s 📖Word as TRUTH (Jn. 17:17; see also Ps. 119:9-11, 105). REMEMBER–God’s Word is “firmly fixed in the heavens” (Ps. 119:89).

SO– humbly learn His Word via HIS HOLY🕊️ SPIRIT (even if there was no one to teach you, as I had no one in my family or anyone good enough in my parishes as a child–so 1 John 2:27 came into play for me, until I sat under good biblical teaching many years later), learning to “rightly divide the Word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15), because as the Apostle Paul wrote, “All Scripture is breathed out (pneuma/ruach) by God and profitable for teaching, for REPROOF, for correction, and for TRAINING in RIGHTEOUSNESS, that the man/woman of God may be COMPLETE (perfect), equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

BECAUSE–IF one is NOT fully surrendered and wholeheartedly following the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Savior AND Lord of their lives, living that faith life out, and filled with the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT–it is guaranteed and confirmed via SCRIPTURE that OTHER evil spirits (which are 👿DEMONS who NEED a human BODY in order to carry out their evil works!) ARE or WILL be in a human being–whether that person is a baby, child, teenager, or adult. To the demons, IT DOESN’T MATTER who they are in–as long as they can “steal, kill, and DESTROY” (Jn. 10:10) human beings in order to spite the LORD GOD and what He allowed His Son to do for us on the Cross–which IS the ONLY WAY back to the Father (Jn. 14:6).

Don’t believe me? LOOK 📖up what the LORD JESUS said when referring to evil spirits needing a “home” (= host human body) in Matthew 12:43-45 and Luke 11:24-26. The FACT that both MATTHEW and LUKE recorded it in their Gospels should make you realize how serious this is. It’s also interesting how the Lord Jesus says at the end of that passage, “SO ALSO WILL IT BE WITH THIS EVIL GENERATION” (Matt. 12:45). OH how true that is TODAY!! But much is covered up by calling such demonic infestations, vexations, oppression, obsessions, and possessions, “mental or behavioural health” issues…🙄😣🙁 Thank God for the few good exorcists and deliverance workers that are out there, recognizing the demonic workings in people, and are hard at work setting these people free from their 👿strongholds!🙏❤️✝️

📖IF one looks closely at Genesis 6:1-4, and with proper reading of the ancient languages (Hebrew, in this case, and Greek in the Septuagint), studying each word and putting the pieces of the Scriptural 📖🧩puzzle together along with other passages that speak of the rebellious angels and their OFFSPRING, the Nephilim, and also the Rephaim (just to name a few: Num 13:32-33; Deut. 1:4; Genesis 11 paired with Deut. 32:8 and Daniel 10; 2Peter 2:4 along with Jude 1:6 and 1 Corinthians 10:20-22), AND coupled with reading the ENTIRE Bible–WITH the help and guidance of the Holy🕊️Spirit, a diligent Bible student can and WILL start to see a very SPIRITUAL picture form within what initially can seem and feel like, a very shocking and unnerving discovery of what REALLY is, and always has been, in God’s Word that has NOT been taught by most modern Judeo-Christian synagogue/church leaders.

Some churches ignore the majority of the Old Testament, and only preach what is in the New Testament. By doing that, the lay church member has NO CLUE on the HISTORY of ISRAEL, for example, and how the LORD God commanded Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to lead their people to the Promised Land that GOD HIMSELF gave them! That’s like telling God that half of what He had His people share with us down through the ages was JUNK!😱🫢

Many church leaders think that books like 1 and 2 Maccabees and 1 Enoch have no spiritual weight to them, and discourage their congregations from reading or studying such books.
But if one were to go ahead and read those books, they would find a plethora of information on not only Israel’s history and leadership, especially dealing with the 400 years of “silence” between Malachi and Matthew, but also when it comes to the book of 1Enoch (NOTICE how I am mentioning 1 ENOCH–NOT 2nd or3rd), one would find passages in there VERBATIM to what was in Genesis 6!

And YET–the ignorance and shunning of such books continues throughout today’s modern, Western-thinking church services. Traditions of some churches have as the Lord Jesus put it, “You leave the commandments of God and hold to the TRADITIONS of men” (Mark 7:8). Elsewhere, answering the Pharisees again, Jesus stated, “…thus making VOID the Word📖of God by your tradition that YOU HANDED DOWN…”(Mk. 7:13).

Not all tradition is bad; some of it is very good. Paul tells us in such passages as 2 Thessalonians 3:6 to “keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and NOT IN ACCORD WITH THE TRADITION that you received from us.” What tradition is Paul talking about? The testimony he gave in 1 Corinthians 15, for example, how “Christ died for our sins IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES…” (1 Cor. 15:3).

KEEP asking the Holy 🕊️Spirit to OPEN your spiritual EYES, EARS, HEART and MIND, to learn and UNDERSTAND “what the Spirit is saying” (Rev. 2:7), by having “ears to hear” (Matthew 11:15) HIS VOICE over what man may be teaching or preaching in error. ASK for DISCERNMENT so that you can know the TRUTH, and avoid following the ERRORS that have been handed down to us.

THAT way, the Scriptures that seem like a daunting, billion-piece🧩🧩🧩 puzzle😖may then start to be put together piece by piece for you, with the help of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding you (Jn. 16:13) as you read and study God’s 📖Word–ALL of God’s Word.

THEN–one day, the Scriptures that seemed to be an enormous 🧩puzzle, no longer will be so confusing and intimidating to you, as you begin to RECOGNIZE the PICTURE😉that God painted on the tapestry of His Biblical LOVE Story that He longed to share with us. BUT–you MUST read ALL of it–OT and NT; you must learn to seek out WHICH apocryphal (like 1 and 2 Maccabees) and pseudepigraphal books (like 1Enoch) to read IN ADDITION to (and NOT substituting for) the entire Word ✡️📖✝️of God.

NOW go get your 📖Bible, pray up and ask the Holy 🕊️Spirit to lead and guide you in what you are about to read, and PUT more pieces of that🧩PUZZLE together! 😊🧩✡️📖✝️🕊️

Happy Resurrection Sunday! The Lord Jesus LIVES!

Happy ✨Resurrection ✨Sunday, beloved!🙌📖✝️

While the woke part of the world may be celebrating the demonic “Transgender Visibility Day”(of course, of ALL DAYS-the evil elite choose TODAY to do that-no 😡coincidence!),

WE who are Christians celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord JESUS CHRIST-the SAVIOR of the world, and Who has defeated DEATH and HELL(Rev. 20:13-14)!🙌✝️🕊️

He made a way for us back to the ✡️Father-giving ALL of us another opportunity at Eternal Life. 🙏✨🌈

All a person has to do, is:

CALL upone the Name of the LORD to be saved (Joel 2:32; Ps. 124:8; Zeph. 3:9; Rom. 10:13)

REPENT of their sins ( Is. 44:22; 59:2; Matt. 3:2; Acts 2:38; 3:19; Rom. 3:10, 23),

humbly ASK for forgiveness (Mk. 11:25; Luke 17:3-4; 23:34; Ps. 51:10; Col. 3:13),

ACKNOWLEDGE the Lord Jesus as both SAVIOR and LORD of their lives (Rom. 6:23; 10:9-10; Jn. 3:16; Acts 16:31, Jn. 14:6)

WHOLEHEARTEDLY commit to being His child (Jn. 1:12) and invite the
HOLY SPIRIT to DWELL IN you to lead, guide, teach, correct, strengthen, and comfort you (Ezekiel 36:26-27; Jn. 3:3,5,7; Acts 1:8; 2:38; Jn. 14:17, 26; 15:26; 16:13; 1Cor. 3:16; 6:19; Eph. 1:13-14; Titus 3:5; Rom. 5:5; 8:16, 26-27; Gal. 4:6; Mk. 4:9, 23; Luke 14:35; Rev. 2:7; 3:6, 13:9)—so make SURE you HEAR HIS VOICE speaking to you!!

🙏✡️📖✝️🕊️ONE BODY, ONE SPIRIT, ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM=
ONE GOD and FATHER OF ALL!!! (Eph. 4:4-6)🙌✨🌈

NOW more than ever, a true believer of the MOST HIGH GOD will be tested, because these days are evil (Eph. 5:16), and increasing in evil. (Ps. 14:1; Micah 7:2; Is. 5:20; Ps. 12:1; 2 Tim. 3:1-2; 2 Tim. 4:1-5).

STAND as a true servant and warrior of God (Eph. 6:10-18) WITH THE LORD JESUS, and He WILL rescue and 🙏deliver us from all the evil (Ps. 71:4; 140:1; Jer. 15:21; Matt. 6:13; Gal. 1:4; 2 Thess. 3:2; and the last one I will write out—(2Tim. 4:18):
“The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to HIM be the glory FOREVER and EVER—Amen.”

We ARE Spirit, Soul, and Body, in That Order

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

Every human being who has lived on Earth, is primarily a SPIRIT BEING.

We are 1)SPIRIT, 2)SOUL, 3)BODY, in that order (1 Thess. 5:23).

The LORD GOD Almighty is the FATHER of spirits (Heb. 12:9).

The spirit of a human returns unto the Father when the human’s body has expired (Eccl. 12:7).

The LORD sends it either (now that Christ has been risen from the dead) to the “Hell” portion of Sheol temporarily until both body and soul (Matt. 10:28) will be raised and judged at the White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8), and from there, the spirit, soul, and body of the person will endure eternity in the Lake of Fire;

OR–if the person was a believer in the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, and His Word (granted, 99.9% of all humans living on earth sinned), accepting the Lord Jesus as both Lord and Savior of their life (Rom. 10:9-10, 13; Acts 2:21), and lived a life according to what the Father commanded in His Word, then being a believer, they would “enter in the joy of the Lord (Matt. 25:23). “The one who conquers will have this heritage (Rev.21:3-4), and I will be his God and he will be My son” (Rev. 21:7).

EVERY person who does not only PROFESS Christ as Lord (Matt. 7:21), but actually LIVES the life of a believer, and is NOT ashamed of Him as some are (those who are ashamed of Christ will be like those in Luke 9:26 and Mark 8:38), will be rewarded with not only a new life and Spirit here on Earth (John 3:3,5,7), but will go on to see all that inexpressible beauty and glory that Revelation 21 and 22 speaks about, when it comes to the New Heaven and New Earth.

They get to spend all of Eternity with the Lamb who was slain, and sit at the Marriage Supper (Rev. 19:7,9), because they were part of the Bride of Christ (Eph. 5:24-27), and although a metaphor there in those verses, believers know that they are to keep themselves as spotless (sinless) as they can, when they are presented to the Father by the Son as the “Bride of Christ”. Hence the reason why Paul prays that the believer in 1 Thess. 5:23 will keep their WHOLE spirit, soul, AND body “blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

BUT–the person MUST have a NEW SPIRIT (Acts 4:31; Luke 11:13) dwelling within their spirit in order to have Eternal life. THAT Spirit IS the Holy Spirit, living and dwelling within them. He ONLY dwells within those who have CONFESSED CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.
1 Cor. 6:19 plainly says that our bodies are to be TEMPLES of the HOLY SPIRIT. He is to teach, guide, correct, and remind us (Jn. 16:13; 14:26) of all that Christ in His Word, wanted us to know and learn.

The world, the flesh, and the devil (James 3:15; 1 Jn. 2:16) has made 99.9% of the human population think it is supposed to be BODY, soul, and spirit (and there are some humans who do not believe in anything spiritual), but it is NOT.

The body of a person becomes a VESSEL for other spirits who never belonged there–demonic entities who found a “crack” due to unconfessed sin in the person’s life, and thereby made themselves “at home” with that person. More can come in if the person is unaware of what is going on spiritually, until that person ends up vexed, obsessed, depressed, oppressed, or-worst of all-possessed. The person ends up in a “spiritual prison” right in their own BODY, being a “slave” to those sins, surrounded by evil entities that will NOT give that body up, until that person either confesses Christ, or those demons kill them off.

Our bodies were meant to be vessels of honor (2 Tim. 2:21) for the Lord Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to dwell within us-NOT dishonor, nor being taken over by evil spirits, who only cause chaos and seek to steal, kill, and destroy the human vessel (Jn. 10:10).

The SPIRIT of a person is the part that goes on to live FOREVER–whether in Eternity with Christ, or in Hell “prepared for the devil and his angels” ( Matt. 25:41), and ultimately, in the Lake of Fire (Rev. 20:11-15). You either are in darkness (evil) or light (Christ).

I am working on a book about the Holy Spirit, and pretty much everything else I can speak about concerning spirits, and how we either allow the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD into our lives, or else we WILL end up with evil spirits controlling us in one way or another. After all, it IS of the Lord’s doing for me to work on this, as plain as my last name (Geist = spirit), that He revealed to me back in 2018.

I hopefully will be done with that book by the end of this summer, prior to starting my PhD in Bible Exposition.

No matter whether a person believes it or not, we ARE in a VERY SPIRITUAL realm, hidden by much PHYSICAL, earthly “junk” to distract us.

🙏I pray every day for the Lord Jesus to save as many souls from that prison of darkness and evil, and bring them to His light of Eternal life. 🙏Set them free, Lord Jesus; please set those souls free!!

Allowing Correction from the Holy Spirit Leads to Less Division in the Body of Christ

I ready today’s “Days of Praise” devotional from ICR, and it rang loudly in my heart and spirit. This is what I have been seeing happening in the churches more and more as the decades have gone by. More church leaders are willing to give up the very callings of God on their lives, and no longer teaching the truths of the Bible, in order to change with the times and follow Satan’s lead instead of God’s. It is creating a recipe not only for spiritual disaster, but imminent JUDGMENT from the Almighty that is prophesied to happen. This is the time of “mercy” that the Lord God has given this generation, since the time of His Son Jesus’ death on the Cross, and resurrection. But this time will not last forever.

Judgment WILL come, and as St. Peter wrote in his letter, “For it is time for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do NOT obey the gospel of Christ?” (1 Peter 4:17). The judgment will start with God’s own—His leaders of the Church, and those who have at one time, committed themselves to teach His Word. Then will be all those who say they are Christians, from whatever branch of Christianity they hail from.

For the Lord Jesus, it will be both a time of happiness and sadness, because He will end up condemning some who have said, “Lord, Lord” (Matthew 7:21), but never really followed Him due to their fear of being “offensive” and hurting people’s feelings with the truth of His Word. They will find out the hard way that there was always to be division and offence in this world, because the truth of the Word of God is exactly what it is written as in Hebrews 4:12–“For the Word of God is LIVING and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, PIERCING to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” God’s Word is hated by those who follow the evil ones who deceive them and turn them away from His Truth, and the father of lies himself—Satan.

May we always strive more each day, to have an ear to “Hear what the (Holy) SPIRIT says to the churches” (Rev. 2:11a), so we do not get caught up in either learning or teaching wrong doctrines, and causing more division between the Body of Christ. Allow the Holy Spirit to do His job here—“When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on His own authority, BUT WHATEVER HE HEARS (from the LORD God) HE WILL SPEAK, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take what is Mine and declare it to you” (Jn. 16:13-14).

TRUTH offends. TRUTH of God’s Word causes divisions, BUT those who are OFFENDED by those truths, are not really looking to be humbled by His Word. Their hearts are hardened like Pharaoh in Moses’ day. We all know how THAT turned out for him.

A major part of what the LORD God has been doing with me these past few years is written right in 2 Timothy 3:16–learning the right doctrine, for reproof, correction, for instruction in righteousness…”. He has shown me were my errors were, the corrections that needed to be made in my spiritual walk with Him, and now, after “maturing” over these past 6+ years, I will now be able to speak more about it, and pass on the information to you. But truth always comes with some pain—the “faithful wounds of a friend” (Prov. 27:6). I’d rather offend with the loving truth of God’s Word, than deceive someone with the hateful lying tongue of the enemy.

The Body of Christ has been split thousands of times over, that shreds of the Truth of Scripture has been spread out amongst the Body; some have much of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, but are lacking in doctrine, while others have the richness and beauty of the liturgical truths, but do not pray through the Holy Spirit as they ought, leaving them powerless against demonic attacks and also personal growth and maturity in the Word of God.

The Body of Christ has been too busy fighting with one another, causing divisions, making their own gains in this world, and forsaking the reason why they were called to preach and or teach the Gospel of Christ to begin with. Satan loves that, and he makes sure that he keeps them chained up with just enough of the worldly lusts to make them a vessel of dishonor, instead of one to be honored by the Lord Jesus, at the end of their time serving Him on Earth (Romans 9:21-23; 2 Timothy 2:20-22).

Decide whether or not you will be the one who will cause divisions because you want to live in the worldly sense while saying you are a Christian, not becoming a vessel of honor, or–

Be like JESUS, Who caused divisions and offences BECAUSE He not only spoke the truth of the Word, but taught it and LIVED it.

I choose to be like JESUS. If I am to cause divisions, it is only because those who do not like to be called out for their sins of the flesh, the world, and all the lusts they love to live with, hate when I speak the TRUTH. It is “offensive” to them. TOO BAD.

I’d rather be right with the LORD God, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit at the End of Days and the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10) as a true believer and servant of Elohim and His Maschiach, than standing naked before Him at the White Throne Judgment Seat (Rev. 20:11-15), hearing those words, “DEPART from Me, for I never knew you” (Matthew 7:23).

The choice is yours to make.
