Deception within our ranks

The Lord has been showing my wife and I that deception is rampant within our ranks and churches. When we asked Him to sharpen our discernment, He strengthen the gift by allowing and showing us the circumstances of others and other messages. If you have read the Baptize by Blazing Fire Books, many will know that a false Jesus had appeared to Pastor Kim, Yong Doo and/or his church. The Lord had showed Pastor Kim, Yong Doo this was possible.  We have read and are aware that Satan can take people to a false heaven. How do we test the spirit? You must call it out. Cast it out in the Name of Jesus and see if the appearance reacts. Call out for the Fire of God and the Blood of Jesus. 

If any of you have the gift of dreams, visions, and prophecy, do not force it out. Pray and wait upon God. There are many who seek attention from men and attempt to draw out their gifts. It is really to impress others as I see this in many churches. Without me asking, people like to tell me they are this or that and have this or that gifts. For me, it is show me your fruit for the fruit will tell me who and what you are. God is not our servant where we can draw a word from HIM on demand. He is not a God on demand. We are His servants. If my wife and I pray for someone and we get a word, we get a word. If we don't get a word, we don't get a word. But we don't try to force a word out. If we force a word out, then it may come from our flesh. The enemy will use this gap to corrupt your gifts. Please seek to please God and not men.

God has been showing us that there is such thing as a false anointing. Many in the American churches are running around to conferences and to this place or that place thinking they can increase their anointing or gifts. All you need to do is get on your knees in your own bedroom and start praying to receive from the Lord. If He tells you to go to a certain conference or meeting, then go but do not go everywhere you can on your own. It is probably a good thing that some of you can't go because of your finances.

Too many Christians go around letting strangers pray and lay hands on them without knowing their fruit. As a result, many are just receiving more demons instead of the Holy Spirit. Please be wise with this brethren. I have witnessed some who believe they have received the anointing from the Holy Spirit but we can clearly see it is not the Holy Spirit manfiesting. When someone slitters like a snake, obvisously everyone knows that is a demonic manifestation. But what if the manifestation is not a slittering snake? How will you discern? Remember, God is balance. He is Peace. He is harmony. You cannot just call all physical manifestations not of God. We must be careful. Do not call what you do not know. Let God teach you. You must wait and observe letting the Holy Spirit teach you in all things.

Just because people go around claiming to be Christian does not mean the Holy Spirit is in them. Many Christians do have demons. This is a general fact. The question we need to address is how much does one have? We must crucify our flesh and have all strongholds removed. Sometimes, deliverances are required. Demons can re enter us so it is a daily battle that we stay holy and pure. You must grow in His Grace moving from Glory to Glory. During your walk, you should be heading towards life and not death even as reflected physically. If you are stagnant or going backwards, one should seek God on his/her face. Just because one is receiving gifts or manifestations, this should not be used as the onlymeasurement of your obedience in HIM. There should be fruit in your walk. I see so many with their titles and boasting but they HAVE NO FRUIT. They only have cliches. What is your motive? Are you seeking Him or the gift or event? If you are so tunneled vision on a gift, you are forcing the gift and this will open a gap for the enemy to give you a false gift. 

There was a particular person on Facebook. I will not disclose whether this person is a male or female.  On the surface, this particular person appeared very spiritual. In fact, this person had more than one page and had friends maxed out to 5000. I sensed the person's frustration and I told this person we can pray for him/her. This person told me he/she had gone too far. I asked this person what did she/he mean. This person said, she/he believed she/he had gone too far from Jesus. Yet, on facebook, this person would still attempt to teach and preach with the appearance she/he was still very spiritual. This person would ask the 5000 people to pray for her/him. This person would leave his/her phone number and email asking anyone to call for advice or prayer. As I observed this person, she/he was getting more demonized. This person had lost her/his peace and her/his was in chaos. This person was gifted and sensitive to the Holy Spirit but this person was being continuously decieved and made worse by also having many of the 5000 religious spirits pray for her/him. 

I strongly suggest you know who you ask for prayer. You will know them by their fruit and not by their lip service. 

You do NOT need 5000 religious people praying for you. You do not need the whole church laying hands on you. Do you know where their hands been (spiritually)? We think the greater the number, the greater the response from God? God only needs ONE RIGHTEOUS PERSON to change the world and move His Heart. Having 5000 people pray for you will probably make it worse since demons are controling many of those people. God only needs one type of Elijah to call fire and smoke out 800 false prophets. God only needs 300 as with Gideon to destroy possibly a couple hundred thousand enemy soldiers. Do not think you need greater a number. He only needs a few obedient ones who are sold out to HIM. 

1 Timothy 5:22 (AMP) Do not be in a hurry in the laying on of hands [giving the sanction of the church too hastily in reinstating expelled offenders or in ordination in questionable cases], nor share or participate in another man's sins; keep yourself pure.

James 5:16 (AMP)16Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].

As you can see in verse 16, " The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].

A brother shared a dream with me and I am going to share it with you. I believe God is confirming something. This brother does not know that we had asked God to sharpen our discernment. Please pray for discernment. ASK Him to reveal His Truth to you. Ask HIM to put you in agreement with HIM. Disception will become rampant and even more confusing. You must put down all of your earthly desires, will, goals, ambitions, and be fully committed and surrendered. Otherwise, the devil will use any gap to eventually lead you to deception. 

"Dear Brother Steve,

The Lord allowed me to see this dream which I wish to share with you I we have followed your Holy Spirit led advice to Pray not to be deceived, fall away and walk on the narrow path. About 3am this morning, I was countless number of 'angels' approaching Earth. These angels were in battle uniforms in different forms and shapes. In between them I saw jesus (fake). he was coming with deceiving wonders. At that time I thought he was Our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ. I was initially deceived! As he was approaching Earth with his angels the whole earth was deceived and believing in him. All of a sudden I was given discernment to look at him. Loo and behold as he was descending down I was the only who saw that he had his body wrapped with torturing gadgets from hell such as bullets, machine gun and others. The next moment everybody was afraid and started bowing down to him. The then announce that the father has sent him to separate the sheep from the goat and bring them to his bosom. At this point his smooth talk and power made me to be deceived again. I then woke up with much trembling and this scripture came to me that if it is possible the very elect will be deceived. The enemy has flooded the church with great deception about the end times events and anointed servants of God are sowing in the enemies field (deception). What I saw was very frightening because the deception was so great. I just want to be in the presence of The Holy Spirit all the time so that I will not be deceived. Don't now who to share with that's why I decided to email you. Be blessed!"

by Chris L.

Mark 13:22(AMP) 22False Christs (Messiahs) and false prophets will arise and show signs and [work] miracles to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (those God has chosen out for Himself).

I believe this means that some of the elect will get deceived if they do not cling on to God for dear life. In your prayers, pray against deception and delusion. Ask God to bind His Truth around your neck and heart. Ask the Holy Spirit to help and guide you so we DO NOT GET DECEIVED, WE DO NOT GET CORRUPTED, AND WE DO NOT FALL AWAY.

Fire of God
