Warring against the Spirit of Truth

[OneIsTheWord]

Hosea 4: 6 knowledge

if I may
believer and from my own experience, we know we choose Christ over evil; believers are always in some form of battle, it is part of being a Christian.

I give you an example for instance, if we meaning Christian attain some type of idols, or even an icon someone that perceives to be like god, just for an example it could be something harmless.

Once you decide, to clean up house than You will feel the effect, as a Christian cleanse himself or her from all impurity, this is where the spiritual warfare begins is it that point when the begins when Christian purifies his soul from all sin, you have there is always a feel some discomfort, simply because you have chosen to purify you are soul

When the spirit indwells inside the believer, there is a battle between the flesh against the spirit, but the flesh is attacked by demons against the carnal inner thoughts, meaning foul words

the believer that is indwell with the spirit When this happens the emotional response anxiety to the believer is when the flesh Constantly attack a weakness occurs within the flesh that cause the believer to fall back, and to some type of sin, It could be an addiction to cause affliction relief to the flesh But the believer might not be aware of the upcoming attack because they are frequent, When Adam was in the spirit, Lucifer attack Eve the spirit the form of deception, Causing Adam causing him to be moral, have sinful apparitions fleshly desires In the same case with a believer, when a person is separated from the spirit of God, Christ defeat against Lucifer, at the cross restoring the spirit into the believer, because of this new adoption the new spirit regain strength within the believer, put Lucifer (Satan) attacks continuous the flesh against the spirit and the believer, the believer is still in the state of his weaknesses, where he has to regain constant renewing against the attack of Satan. For the worst of man, he is, from the fall Brutish animal type of men serial killer animal instincts, these men are into perdition

These attacks occur and weaknesses of the mind where demonic influence is ejected directly into the mind causing great anxiety also were violence occurring either in groups, or in solitude separating oneself from groups, even in family.

Non-believers are called heathen or atheist. They are consumed with inner pride, their hearts, are consumed with hate, they are totally in denial, suppress everything that’s not contrary to their belief, their minds become recuperate, they give heed to demon influence.

When this is deliberately against a believer, by a non-believer, by demonic influence, it is demonic in nature.

If one is deliberately doing this and knows without any permission, or to cause one to sin, I will demonstrate with the word of God and explain the consequences.

There are trials that are considered tribulations, the testing of your faith.
Romans 8: 20.

@OneIsTheWord

we know we choose Christ over evil;

Could you clarify what you mean. Are you talking about becoming a Christian or about the struggles with temptation?

if I may
no, I’m not but the bible is my full authority to be a Christian you must go through trials and afflictions one must receive a thorn, I do need to be a Christian.
All I need to be in the eyes of the Lord a righteous person

I am critique
for example
What’s the difference between criticism and critique ? There’s some overlap in meaning, but they’re not the same in every situation. Criticism is most often used broadly to refer to the act of negatively criticizing someone or something (“I’m more interested in encouragement right now than criticism”) or a remark or comment that expresses disapproval (“She shared a minor criticism about the design”), while critique is a more formal word for a carefully expressed judgment, opinion, or evaluation of both the good and bad qualities of something—for example, author or books on laws, etc

Thus, a critic can write a critique that may be full of criticism.

if you see all my posts you’ll see what I mean

But what is the truth?

The truth can be tricky.

Humans argue from different perspectives. To Christians, a child has a soul at conception. To Judaism, the soul is embodied until the child takes the first breath outside the womb. Can either prove the soul is there at any moment?

Christians believe talking about birth control pills, condoms, and such is equal to having a permissive attitude toward sex, and inteferes with the Will of God as if anything could stop God from bringing life into the world. God doesn’t need a man to make a person, Jesus Christ is proof. right? So what is a condom to God? A joke.

Meanwhile secular folks believe that it is neglect to not inform the young on how to be responsible and health conscious, preventing stds and unwanted babies from being born to unequipped young adults or a wellfare system that cannot contain them or a foster system that is not guarded enough.

Christians who want to end abortion only chase after the women getting pregnant and the doctors performing the procedure. Instead of teaching young people to be responsible in the first place for their nornal human urges when those young people cannot or will not control those urges…

We use belief as truth. But who can say any one group is correct beyond their conviction that they are right and the other is wrong? To some degree, both groups want to end abortions.

Except one man attacks the will and choice of a person, creating an impossible situation so that in the end…weak people are called sinners and murderers.

While the other man goes about setting a new standard by which the sin can be bypassed altogether. To prevent or limit curcumstances where unborn children would have to die. Praise Jesus for a new standard.

The Holy Spirit does not rape the will of a child. It does not force itself upon us. And anyone who would say contrary does not know the Holy Spirit.

Peace, joy, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, wisdom are Hers… She woos us to God, and moves each one of us to mature and grow in our capacity to do better. She stirs our hearts toward Love, thoughtfullness, and all the fruits of Her nature softly like a friend, a counselor, or a lover. And strongly, sternly protects Her children when they are threatened.

But if God wants something to be done, He will be sure it gets done. If God wanted praise and no man would do it, the rocks themselves would sing. And if God wants to reduce the human population because they grew too big, He has a plan for that too. Like reducing fertility. Which is happening now.

God once said, be fruitful and multiply. But he never said, until it kills you. In fact, it is safe to say- mission accomplished. Well done.

And then there is a saying, can God create a rock even God cannot lift?

But it misconstrues the nature of God, who does not lift rocks like a normal man. And yet that mountain ceases to be when God says “Go.” Or “let it be so.”

However God does set boundaries that even God wont cross. Because God is God. He does not need to prove His power to you, nor does He require your praise. And God certainly does not need to take control like a weak human king, nor lie and cheat to do so. God is in control no matter what you think in ways you cannot even imagine.

But God makes room so that life can exist, allowing choice to occur, the mind to think, and the heart to bloom. Like a farmer, God plants the seed and lets it all grow together. The good and the bad. Until the fruit is born and it is time for the harvest.

On that day it will be asked, what have you born?

@Tillman

But what is the truth?

The truth can be tricky.

I would say that understanding the truth is the tricky part. The truth itself is always simple. It’s the hidden gem that is searched for and must be discovered, or revealed in order to grab hold of. The grabbing hold is easy, the finding is difficult.

@Tillman

We use belief as truth

This is closer to the mark I think. What people think of as truths, are usually just beliefs that they wrap up and stick a bow atop. We think it to be true, but in truth– we just don’t know.

That’s it. God allows. God makes room. He permits.

The way of discovery still lies open to us in divine things if we have the moral courage and the desire to go to the fountainhead of truth, instead of filling our vessels out of this doctor’s compendium… or being held spellbound by the shadow of a few great names. – Rev. J. B. Herd

Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side. –Unknown

The thought that provokes thought is much more valuable than the thought that is only an echo of an accepted truth. - Thomas W. Hanford

                                                    How we walk as a family

Psalms 128:1-6 (NKJV) A song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, Who walks in His ways. When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed Who fears the Lord. The Lord bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem All the days of your life. Yes, may you see your children’s children? Peace be upon Israel!

Eph 5:15-21 (NKJV) See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

Psalms 128: 5, 6 This is the psalmist’s prayer for the man who desires for his own family the blessings described in the psalm. children’s children: This priestly prayer of blessing includes a desire for longevity and for happy posterity in the land. Only when God grants His peace to His people will the ideal conditions of family life be realized. Therefore, whoever prays for the blessing of God on a family also prays for the blessing of God’s peace on the community as a whole ( Psalms 122:6–9; Psalms 125:5).

                                 Spirit-Guided Relationships: Wives and Husbands

Eph 5:22-23 (NKJV) Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

1 Cor 7:22 (NKJV) For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise, he who is called while free is Christ’s slave.

1 Tim 3:4-5 (NKJV) one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);

Behavior and one attitude tell us how we walk in Christ as well as in our family.
We read in 1 Tim 5:1-16 (NKJV) Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger as sisters, with all purity.
Honor widows who are really widows. But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God. Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day. But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. And these things command, that they may be blameless.
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number, and not unless she has been the wife of one man,
well reported for good works: if she has brought up children if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work. But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith. And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, and give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
For some have already turned aside after Satan. If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.

            Timothy was worthy to his family and God honored him and his family.

We read in Phil 2:19-30 (NKJV) But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state. For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father, he served with me in the gospel. Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me. But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly. Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need; since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. For indeed he was sick almost unto death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem;
because for the work of Christ, he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.
Eph 6:1-3 Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
Eph 6:4, 6, 8 Mom and Dad, do not provoke your children to wrath but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord. bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.

Joseph’s Story and his family.
The remarkable story of Joseph’s rise to power in Egypt is not just another rags-to-riches story. Fundamentally, the story is about how the Lord created a nation out of a troubled family.
Jacob’s family was plagued by jealousy. Rachel envied Leah, and Leah envied Rachel (Gen 30:1). Leah’s sons inherited this pattern of jealousy. They envied Joseph so much that they sold him as a slave (Gen 37:28). It may even be that Reuben abused Bilhah because of jealousy toward Benjamin (Gen 35:18–22). Also, the family was separating. After Joseph was sold into slavery, Judah left the family, associated with the Canaanites, and married a Canaanite woman (Gen 38:1–3). Simeon followed Judah’s lead by also taking a Canaanite wife (Gen 46:10). With these jealousies and divisions, Jacob’s family, the family of God’s eternal promises (Gen 12:1–3), was becoming more and more like the pagan Canaanite community around them.
But the Lord did not let the troubles of this family thwart His good purposes. He had promised to shape a great nation from it—a nation that would spread His blessings to the whole earth (Gen 12:1–3). Jacob’s family was divided, but God worked the events so that the family was reunited. Through a remarkable series of circumstances, God elevated Joseph from the position of slave and prisoner to the administrator of Egypt, Pharaoh’s right-hand man. God transformed the evil plans of Joseph’s brothers into something good (Gen 37:19–28; 50:20). As the administrator of the Egyptians’ plan to survive the coming famine, Joseph could save the lives of many people in the ancient world. With his new name, Zaphnath-Paaneah (“God Speaks and Lives”), and his remarkable story, Joseph could witness to these people about the power and goodness of the living God (Gen 41:45). But God’s good plan did not end there. God used the physical hardship of famine to reunite Israel’s family. When Joseph’s brothers saw him, not only did they express sorrow for their former evil actions (Gen 42:21; 45:5), but they demonstrated a new loyalty to their other half-brother, Benjamin. Judah, who had left the family before (Gen 38:1), begged for Benjamin’s life, even at the cost of his own freedom (Gen 44:18–34). The reunion of the family and the pressures of famine prompted Jacob to move closer to Egypt, to the land of Goshen. God used the evil attitudes of the Egyptians—their hatred of shepherds—to isolate the family there (Gen 43:32; 46:34). In this isolation, God could develop a nation dedicated to worshiping and obeying Him.
In all the exceptional events of Joseph’s story, God remained faithful to His promises to Abraham (Gen 12:1–3). He created a great nation out of Jacob’s family through a maze of human jealousy, family divisions, and racial hatred (Gen 50:20).

                                               The family Saul

We read in 1 Sam 14:47-52 (NKJV)So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the people of Ammon, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he harassed them.
And he gathered an army and attacked the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of those who plundered them.
The sons of Saul were Jonathan, Jishui, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
Now there was fierce war with the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any strong man or any valiant man, he took him for himself.

All I need to be in the eyes of the Lord a righteous pers

That is what all we need as a botto line

                     But

If you are going to make posts about being a hristian etc then you need to be clear about what you are writing and you are not clear.

[Joe]

Hi,

“All I need to be in the eyes of the Lord a righteous pers” Quote from OneIsTheWord

That’s the crux of the problem, isn’t it?

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; KJV

Nobody can be “good enough” on their own.
If we could be, why do we need a Savior?
If you can achieve salvation on your own, why did Jesus need to die for your sins?
The Salvation through self-righteousness type of thinking is a pathway to the place of outer darkness, and wailing of teeth.
What you believe is a lie of satan.
You, all of us, need to be obedient to the Word of God.

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. KJV

This is how it’s done.
We have to hear Him. (Jesus)
Then we invite Him into our hearts.
There is absolutely nothing there about doing enough good, or being a good person.

Isaiah put it this way:

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. KJV

Filthy rags, nuff said.

One final thought.

1 John 1:8-9 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. KJV

You are deceiving yourself OneInTheWord.
If you do that, John says the truth is not in you.
You cannot clean yourself.
Jesus has to do it.

If you ever want to be cleansed from all unrighteousness, I can help you with that.

Blessings

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." ’
Rev 2:29

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God." ’
Rev 2:7

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Rev 2:11

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone, a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." ’
Rev 2:17
