When In Doubt Cast It Out
All of us have to be on guard because Satan’s deception is always around us. We have to learn and study the Word of God, so we can understand His godly standard. The more we grasp it, the more we can see the places we need to change or things that need to be removed from our lives, so we can be more thoroughly cleansed. The more cleansed we become, the more we can see God’s purpose clearly. Sanctification is a process of removing all confusion from our lives.—Pastor Mirek Hufton-Forever Free-pg. 29
We must make a conscious effort to rid ourselves of the influences our enemy imposes against is. Peter describes Satan as a roaring lion looking for whom he may devour. He is fully at work. There is a devil loose! Just look at the world around us. It is filled with wickedness. The enemy has been successful in blinding and deceiving the masses. He has corrupted our cultures and has subtly infused his wickedness into our society. The truth has been turned into a lie and the lies have been portrayed as the truth. Our children our exposed to all sorts of wickedness as the normal way of life. This has been going on for centuries. With each passing year the wickedness continues to grow. In our personal lives he has intercepted the truth of God and either watered it down or completely changed it to fit his agenda of destruction. We can’t change the world until we first allow God to change us! It is time for believers to rise up, stand firm, submit to our God and resist the evil one.
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. —2 Timothy 2:15-KJV
The Word of God is our only offensive weapon against our adversary. We must know what the Word says! We must know this book we call the Bible from cover to cover. Studying the Word of God will help us recognize and identify what tricks and deceptions our adversary is planning and using against us! Knowing the word will help you stand firm and resist him. Knowing the Word will help you raise the Shield of Faith against the fiery darts filled with poison that the enemy shoots at us. Study the Word of God and rightly interpret the Truth that is in every verse. Our enemy will try to alter and modify the Word to trick us into false beliefs, lower standards of living, less respect for the things of God and ultimately trying to diminish our belief and trust in God. make a decision today that you will be a person who studies the Word daily.
We must learn to cast out the evil that tries to creep into our life.—Pastor Mirek Hufton-Forver Free-pg.27
When the enemy tries to influence us we need to call him out. We need to put him on front street. We need to tell him to get out. When he tries to get us to sin, have evil thoughts, murmur, complain, talk about our brothers and sisters and too many other things to list, we must cast that spirit out! Everything has a spirit attached to it good and bad. Anything bad, negative, destructive or truth diminishing must be cast out. If you ae not sure if you need to cast it out then you most likely need to cast it out. A rule to follow is if it is good it is God. If it is bad it is the devil. We must walk in the Light as HE (Jesus) is in the light. Light and darkness do not mix. The enemy tries to inflict us with confusion by creating grey areas in the truth. There are no grey areas, The Truth is the Truth!!! When in doubt cast it out!
Confusion comes when we as Christians accept the world’s version of “truth” instead of God’s absolute truth. The world lives in total confusion. The church will live in confusion too, if we agree with what the world is saying. We need to rise up and say “No” to confusion and “No” to mixing the world’s philosophy with God’s truth. When we begin to integrate darkness with light, it brings confusion. Whether its ignorance, bad habits, accepting false teaching, or going in the ways of the world, it always brings confusion. Confusion brings a blurring or a graying of our vision. (All “graying” is from hell.) The spirit of confusion takes over, and people can’t seem to move forward correctly in the life God has planned for them. They miss the target of the Master’s purpose for their lives. Always remember confusion brings a lack of conviction in our hearts towards things that are wrong. That is why confusion is so deadly. We lose the ability to hear what God is really saying.
Confusion:
We need to talk about confusion. People live in confusion. The body of Christ is in so much confusion.
We are confused because we have integrated light with darkness. Bad habits are given a pass- grace is now our pass for everything. What a fat lie.
It brings confusion; therefore, you no longer know what is right and wrong and how to make right choices. It lowers the Godly standard and causes to fit into the world and become worldly.
We must preach against this! Therefore, it is so important that we run confusion out of our life.—Pastor Mirek Hufton-pg. 28-29
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, help me rid myself of the grey areas that the adversary has brought into my life. Help to rid myself of the confusion that comes with these areas. Lord, help me to study your Word, and show myself approved. Lord Jesus, I submit myself unto you! Help me resist the enemy and pursue you. Help me grow in you and become more like you. Protect me this day from my adversary and keep me in your secret place avoiding the traps and plots Satan has set for me. Jesus I give you all honor & praise. You are my god! I worship you and only you. Lord set me on fire with a passion and desire for living in your presence and fulfilling your will for my life. In Jesus Name, I Pray!
