Top things satan does NOT want you to do
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
(Ephesians 6:12)
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
(Jude 4)
Fear God and keep his commandments
Do you really fear God? Really and truthfully? What is at the top of the pyramid of your hierarchy of valuables? More than anything else, do you really fear Him most, or is it losing your son(s), daughter(s), family members, spouse, friends, social status, material possessions or riches, personal accomplishments, liberty/rights, any combination of hedonistic pleasures, etc., etc.? Who gave you these things?If you had access to a hen that lays golden eggs, what is more precious and valuable; the golden eggs that you receive, or the hen and the access? What happens when the hen is killed or is dead?
God is not a "hen that lays golden eggs," and certainly He is not dead! What ever is at the top of your pyramid, that is your god.
FEAR GOD!
And KEEP his commandments. Top three definitions of KEEP:
(1) to retain in one's possession or power, (2) to take notice of by appropriate conduct : fulfill: such as - to be faithful to, and (3) to preserve, maintain: such as - to watch over and defend.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
(Ecclesiastes 12:13)
Believe and have faith in Jesus the Word of God so that you can be his faithful follower
Faith without works IS dead; and the primary work of faith is to be FAITHFUL!Read from the Authorized Version of the bible, or have preachers preach from it
The Word of God has power; they know it so they have been working hard to change, dilute, and defile it with different versions--it is the rock that the builders continue to disallow!
Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against darkness and the enemy
- Belt of truth
- Breastplate of righteousness
- Boots(shoes) of preparation of the gospel
- Shield of faith
- Helmet of salvation
- Sword of the spirit & the Word of God
Fast
So that you may humble your spirit and are able to approach God in an acceptable way, that he may accept and respond to your prayers. There is some literal truth to the "belly of the beast."This message is all over the bible. Remember the Ninevites! Humble yourself by "putting on sackloth" first, then try it and find out!
Be in communion and one with the true church which is the body of Christ and his holy temple
satan wants you to be ensnared by the "mother church", and its subsidiary delegates, as orchestrated by the "mother of harlots."Be united and on the alert
Be vigilant. We are continously bombarded by countless distractions, thousands of denominations, hundreds of bible versions, crafty deceivers and poisoners, false teachers, wolves in sheep's clothing, etc.Know there is only one Shepherd; that He was manifest in the flesh, as well as His inerrant and immutable word manifest in ONE book for us to have today
There are NO shepherds on earth that follow God's commandment to feed the sheep sincerely with the pure Word (not from the earthly system of churches; except for those he said HE would send that are from outside their system). They feed themselves and mislead you to believe that they are your shepherds, and you are their flocks. Moreover, there is no "new" or "standard" or "revised" version of the bible that was produced after He had already provided it; neither is there a new edition that we need to wait to receive in the future.Know that you are saved by simply believing and trusting in Christ
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
(John 19:30)
Understand and recognize that God is NOT love as they intend you to register it
For our God is a consuming fire.
(Hebrews 12:29)
God IS love in the way John explains it. Love is an attribute of God and he is the only one that embodies love to the utmost and fullest capacity. Furthermore, he is the most truthful manifestation of love. God is your best friend and the only one that loves you more than anyone possibly could. This being due to his grace which is a gift. He: created you, gave you all that you have and that you love, died and rose again so that he may be able to save you and offer you everlasting life, happiness, and eternal peace for your mind and soul.
Understand that the Holy Bible does not require interpretation and is not interpreted by anyone
The problem is that people continue to be willingly ignorant of the fact that the "poisoners" spoken of from the beginning to the very end have had a heavy hand at doing such to their biggest threat: the Holy Bible. My beloved friends, we have God's pure words today in ONE place, and in ONE book only.If you still believe the bible is interpreted by ANYONE, then here are some examples; the bible is full of these. Please explain how any of these require interpretation; or do they really just mean what they say?
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.(Genesis 1:1)
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.(Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.(John 14:6)
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.(Revelation 22:12)
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.(Revelation 1:3)
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:(Revelation 12:18)
In the above samples from the Holy Bible, is it not clear that the book speaks about reading, hearing, listening, and keeping; not interpreting, changing, or taking through interpretation?
