As I continue to help you understand the truth that lies behind Surface Faith, we are going to pick up where we left off.
Can you believe we’re actually living in a time where believers, you’d think, were “well seasoned” has to be to told to live like Christ, or to watch their behavior because they’re being watched, or to walk in love no matter what, or to walk in His character ?
Well we are. God’s People are starting to bow down to the ways of this world and their customs……They are starting to look and smell just like the world, and it’s becoming hard to tell them apart…
Why is it that the very person who calls themselves God lovers, has more excuses for their sinning, then a sinner for their sinful behavior….Just remember, what you mimic will eventually become your shackles (Rom 12:2) Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
What happened to the heart of the believer who would speak,” if I had a thousand lives, I’d live them all for Jesus”, over and over again….. Where did that attitude go??
Today there are so many {So Called} believers who could care less about living that way today….all they have time to do is fake it til they make it..
These folks believe in a god, their god, but it’s not, God the Father, and it’s not Jesus Christ our Lord..It’s the god of this world, the one they salute each and every time they obey his marching orders…(2 Cor.4:4)Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
These surface faith – so called believer’s – know, (but don’t care) to know, that there’s so much more to than just showing face in church or Bible Study to knowing God, and most importantly… developing and growing in faith! {Romans 10:17}Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
The only interest that Satan has for his committed pretenders, is what he gave to Eve( deception and a second thought) (Gen. 3:1) Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” and what Eve passed on to Adam( unauthorized position) ( Gen.3:6) The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too. It clearly shows here in scripture who God placed as head (Gen.2:18) The LORD God said, “It isn’t good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable partner for him.” ( Gen.3:9)Then the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” Why was he following her lead? Being out of order.. Then comes the blame game…..All a part of his setup..(Gen.3:12,13)The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.” – Then the LORD God asked the woman, “What have you done?” “The serpent deceived me,” she replied. “That’s why I ate it.” The blame game. Never taking responsibility, but always passing it to the next person….
Not only deception, but a false picture of their loving creator, (cause let’s face it), God created each and everyone of us, including Satan himself, and even though He created us all, we all…. do not live for Him, obey Him, honor Him, adhere to Him, worship Him or follow His Commands…( Col. 1:16)or through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. (Matt. 12:30) “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.
These Surface Faith Believers, have never placed foot on the path of righteousness( no, um um) not for truth, growth, insight or girth, in His ways of doing things, oh, no…..( Pro. 12:28)There is life in the path of righteousness, but another path leads to death.
It’s always been “Satan injected”, or ” Satan objected”, from the start…….Do not you think Satan doesn’t have workers in the Spiritual realm, not out doing their due diligence for him in this world, out seeking and searching who they can devour?? that’s why it is so easy for certain people to get attached to what attracts them, because the devil, your enemy always starts with suggestion (even from the start)……. just like it was when he was in the garden, why do you think the Serpent went to the woman and not to Adam….because he watches, and he plots, and he plans, before he executes, and He knew, he would have better chances with deceiving her than Adam……There’s no doubt he didn’t play on her being the weaker vessel, even back then.. He’s a prowler y’all!! (1 Pet. 5:8) Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.He was called the most subtil (Gen. 3:1)Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. so why would it be any different with those who is under his leadership today…..
You do know, Satan has assigned church goers. Those that go to church just like you do, and potentially is the one that sits right next to you. Satan’s purpose of doing this is to announce his darkness, a darkness that can not expel God’s light. ( John 1:5) The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
But!! because Satan is so stupid!! along with those he has tagging along, those that look like you and me to the natural eye. They think they are not seen and can’t be noticed, recognized, and put on full blast mode by many, from the time they step foot through the door…. ( Matt. 18:20) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. And the more they rear their ugly heads, the more they’ll continue to get it bashed in ( Gen. 3:15)And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”…bashed in with authenticity, that one thing he can’t touch, not in a true, fire baptized, Holy ghost filled, tongue speaking believer…Hallelujah!!
Surface faith is something that’s practiced time and time again, and then eventually, formed into a lifestyle.. A lifestyle based on a ( me me me )factor. It’s lived out by them and created in their minds, that everything is supposed to be about them and centered around them. This is that false pretense they live in, that self centered-ness that comes along with all the other false realities in their life….. They focus on their growth in numbers( how many they deceived) their false effort of teaching a new form of self growth, they leach unto those that are looking for a place to belong and to fit in…..those that will fall for there many vain words spoken, and hidden botched character. They set out to be mimicked by others. (Matt. 24:24)For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. (2 Tim.3:13)But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.
And if ( truth be told) It all falls on the preachers and the teachers out here in the world that’s using and abusing the Word of God for their own gain, all along taking from and adding to, while being used by the devil themselves..(Deuteronomy. 4:2)But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived. His Word still stands today…..
those who’s continually preaching and teaching all this new age surface-level, all out devil influenced, (blah blah) nonsense from the pulpit and secret society cults that exist right under your nose… and in your neighborhoods….(Matthew 7:15,16)“Beware of the false prophets, [teachers] who come to you dressed as sheep [appearing gentle and innocent], but inwardly are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them [that is, by their contrived doctrine and self-focus]. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?
Sounds a lot like Religion huh? Well people, Religion is still being practiced today, even after all that Jesus came to free us from(Romans 6:14)Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law (religion). Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
Surface Faith Believer’s, that hide behind their false identity, and full of deceit, and don’t believe in Jesus Christ, the Trinity, or the Holy Spirit has already chosen their outcome. (Matthew 3:10)And already the axe [of God’s judgment] is swinging toward the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Surface Faith Believers who are being driven by a demonic force, is now the new known Atheism, and Atheism is the new known (No Religion Movement) and it’s so evident today… these believers, acknowledge Jesus with their lips for show, but as soon as they walk out that door, or get up from where they sit, or sit down from where they stand, they are bound to deny Jesus to His face with their lifestyle ( Luke 12:2,3)The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!
And because they disregard Jesus, and don’t believe in the Trinity, and focus entirely on God, and on the behavior of the Prophets….but not wanting to hear about redemption…..(1 John 2:23)Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.(Matt 10:33)But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. So, they have no clue as to what the Holy Spirit does or how He operates…
And when it comes to them trying to play the part in front of someone else, they read or quote limited Word with no understanding, and because their views are already twisted they can’t understand or relate to Him. (1 Corinthians 2:11)For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
How can one know what following Jesus looks like if they’re being taught that they don’t need Him and that He is not real…… they’re being taught that they can be their own God, and gain their own understanding without the teacher……(1Cor,2:14) The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. God is the only One that can lead us into holiness and godliness, their personal growth is by their own self doing.(John 14:6)Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
See the problem is, that there’s people calling themselves spiritual teachers, and they continually pump out and produce deceptive, false materials for believers to consume.(Colo.2:8)See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
This is the generation of the Hollywood Christians, that drink each other’s blood and form Cults like (Illuminati, Scientology, Self-Realization Fellowship, Lizard People etc.) Just to name a few. All of these cults were generated and are being funded by people we call Celebrities..in order to do away with the ” Christian Church” and it’s beliefs. (2 Timothy 4:3) For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. This is why there are hundreds of – different beliefs out here, and why people don’t know, truth from fiction.. (2 Timothy 4:4)They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
And, this practice goes on from one generation to the next, with them teaching their children and Grandchildren that it’s okay to live like this. While also being taught that there’s no true loving God who sent His Son to die for them…..(Heb. 3:10) Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Always they go astray in their heart; and they have not known My ways;’.
Be Blessed….
