19 Jan WORD WAR III (NEVER LIVE IN A GRAY WORLD WHEN YOU HAVE A BLACK AND WHITE BIBLE!) PART 4

Posted at 08:00h in Uncategorized by

 The Bible tells us in I Timothy 4:1, “Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;”.  In this powerful verse the Greek word translated “expressly” means “clearly or vividly.”  The Greek word translated “last” is “hystemos” which means “last of the last.”  The Greek word for “depart” is “aphistemi” which means “to step away from, to resist, to desert or withdraw.”  The Greek word for “seducing” is “planos” which means to “slowly wander away.”

If you’ll give me a little liberty, this verse could easily be paraphrased from the Greek language like this:  ‘The Spirit speaks clearly or vividly in the last of the last days, that some should step away from and desert the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits (which will tempt people to slowly walk away from the Word) and doctrines of devils.’  In other words, deception will be a huge weapon of the enemy to get some to slowly walk away from the Word of God!

Here is the good news…YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A ‘SOME’!  

As you can see, the war is over the Word of the Living God! 

Let us reveiw our series…

We began sharing with you “Seven WORD War Wonders”:

  1. The war is over the Word (Gen. 3:1)
  2. The Word is the most powerful force in the universe (Heb. 1:3)
  3. God’s blessing resides within the Word (Gen. 1:28)

Here the Bible tells us, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply; and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” (Gen. 1:28)

Notice God blessed man by saying.  Remember this:  If the devil can get you off the Word, he can get you off your blessing!

This week we continue with…

4. God’s Word is written for a reason (I John 5:13)

Please allow me to give you 7 “It is Written” Writings:

  1.  It is written for your salvation (I John 5:13)

Here the Bible tells us, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may now that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”  Notice our confidence in our salvation is based on what is written.  Remember:  Your salvation is not based on your behavior.  Your salvation is based on your Savior.  Remember this also:  Your salvation is not based on your feelings.  Your salvation is based on your Father.

  1. It is written for your foundation (I Peter 5:12)  

Here the Bible tells us, “By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.”  The Word of God is our foundation in these very unstable times.  The Scripture tells us “Wisdom and knowledge are the stability of our times” (Isaiah 33:6).  I have never been through an earthquake but I have been told that if you are up in a plane flying directly over an earthquake…you won’t feel the slightest tremor.  Remember this:   Anything attached to the earth shakes.  Anything attached to Heaven remains stable.
