As I have proven in other articles on this blog, human beings are a spirit in a mortal body, fashioned in such a way by GOD that both spirit and body are interdependent on each other to have life, to be alive. This spiritual knowledge is a foundational truth throughout the scriptures. Satan, the father of lies, has many different ways to deceive people, even people who are new to the faith, babes in Christ. A babe is a new convert that just came out of the Satanic deception in the world. Upon conversion no one instantly has all truth but must grow in grace and knowledge and this will take time. New converts always have excess baggage from their former deception that yet remains in them and they need to purge out this old leaven of malice and wickedness as they are a new lump needing leavened with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
My personal conversion involved getting rid of this old leaven, those things I yet believed that were lies. GOD Will overtime lead you into all truth and the longer you are in Christ the more you will learn.
Satan has the ability to interact with your human spirit and can broadcast lies into your mind using this excess baggage you yet have. When you read certain scriptures you will see in them the lie you believe. You are unable to properly interpret these scriptures and Satan keeps you from doing so. GOD is able to correct this problem and cut through all the lies and guide you to HIS truth. GOD can accomplish this in many ways and one way is for this new convert to come into contact with mature Saints that have already been inspired by GODS spirit and know the truth to explain the lies in the mind of the babe. If this method doesn’t work GOD will use others as HE will go to the uttermost to save us. However, if this person becomes unwilling, unworkable then they will simply fall away. They haven’t committed the unpardonable sin because they just weren’t the good earth to begin with.
If you recall the parable of the sower then see there are different types of people who have the seed of GODS spirit fall on the dust of the ground or humans but the results are not all the same. If the babe is of the good earth then it is his or her time for the hope salvation if not it will be a different time in the future. This is why many are called but few are chosen.
Satan will use your pride in how you perceive yourself. Former false church ministers are accustomed to teaching others and see themselves as more knowledgeable because of what they were taught in ministry schools. They like to use technical terminology to empress others. These types are perhaps the most difficult to correct when they are wrong. The opposite of this type are people that just accept whatever the minister types of this world tell them because they are gullible. Another type are those caught up in strong emotions and mistake for the truth the lies the minister types preach. These minister types speak great swelling words of emptiness that allure the various types of the deceived into spiritual slavery to Satan.
If the gospel message has been hidden from people it is Satan who is hiding it. Every person, aside from the three I fellowship with, that I have come into contact with over the last 30 years and had high hopes for them to be called and chosen, have fallen away for various reasons. These people thought they had truth when they actually had lies. Some were just drawn away by the cares of the world. Since my track record in this searching for more elect saints has a record of failure I have decided to give it up. After all GOD is in charge and needs no help from anyone. I suppose I had to learn the hard way like the Apostle Paul who went to great lengths to save some of his own people after the flesh, the carnal Israelites. Each time Paul tried all he got was blasphemy, verbal and physical abuse and attacks always and finally Paul gave up on them and said,
Acts 18:6 “And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, Paul shook his raiment and said to them. Your blood be upon your own heads, I am clean, from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.”
From henceforth I will go to no one, instead I will focus on the small fellowship that I am a part of and concern myself with all our own personal growth in the Spirit.
This blog will continue but I will no longer concern myself with the spiritual condition of my readers.
