LOVED VERSES; LIKE LOOKING FOR TREASURES,

[jkalyna]

Psalm 37:13

*The Lord laughs at the wicked for he knows that their day is coming.
​

Nicky Cruz, said, their is no perfect church, if there was he will go there, and then it would not be perfect." For we are no perfect, although God's peace is, perfect, and real, but so is satan, who comes to rob us of that.*

John lived the Longest, because he was known to love the most. There was a lot of problems in the church, an he wrote about it. The things that some member in authority was doing, to excumunicate the believers he didn't like, instead of them throwing him out. JOhn spoke against the sin of what he was doing, but he did not say a bad word about that member.*

This reminds me of, let things go, there's no need to get upset, God laughs at their folly, and immaturity in his word, he looks at them as little babies, who dont' know any better, and need to grow up in the word. Have you ever seen a little child doing something really silly, or saying something that just was sooo sweet, but so seriously real to them, because they havn't learned yet. The lord tells, us to grow up, from drinking milk, to deep calleth unto deep, the deep of his word, for the mature, being able to digest it as meat, for meat, gives*strength, milk, is for babies. I'm learning not to pay any mind to those who are just like that. To those who continue and know better, this verse is for them, you can't play with fire, and not get burnt. For it is written, God is a consuming fire. He either will purify the spirit, of man, or destroy it, for it's sins, and those who willingly don't want to repent, as an example in the wilderness, going to the promised land. They didn't know what was going to hit them, when Moses came down from the mountain, and saw the Idol of the golden calf, he said, who ever is on the Lord's side, stand there, and the others take your stand on the other side. There was a great earthquake, and they went down into the ground, out of his sight, for they were a disgust unto him.

The word ‘house’, in the Bible, is a common picture of a human being. For example, the Lord Jesus speaks of building our house on the rock (Matthew 7:24). We put our house, our life, upon the teaching of Jesus. In John 14, Jesus says, ‘If any man obeys My word, My Father and I will come to him and we will make our home with him.’ In our passage, the Lord Jesus makes it very plain that the man whom the evil spirit left is the house in which he wants to dwell in again.*I will return to my*house*(the man)*from which I came*(Matthew 12:44).
*
All these illustrations show that the human being is thought of as a house, a house which is either going to be the house of God or the house of the devil. We are either going to be the temple of God or we are going to be the house of the unclean spirits. In other words, there are only two possible situations: we live under God’s power or we live under the power of Satan. Whoever owns the house is of course the person who runs the house. He has authority over his property. My house doesn’t tell me what to do. I do with the house what I choose to do. So the question becomes like this. Who controls your life? Who runs your life? Is it God or is it Satan? In this world, nobody is master and lord of himself. Let us be clear about that. So who has authority over your life? God or Satan? Remember that there is no neutral ground between these two. The spiritual reality is that every heart is the residence of unclean spirits except those who are the temples of the Holy Spirit.
*
Now, you may be a vacant possession, but only for a short time. Soon the evil spirit will come back. Even though he was thrown out by the power of God, he will come back again, if that house remains vacant. Here is an important point of this passage. The fact that Satan has been cast out of your life does not mean that he will always stay out of your life thereafter. I would even make a stronger statement. The fact that you have been set free doesn’t mean that you will automatically remain free. A half-hearted repentance will leave a vacuum that the devil is able to exploit.
*
[h=2]The last state is worse[/h]*
Let’s continue to look at the passage. This evil spirit comes out of the man. He wanders around and after a certain period of*time,*he comes back to the house from which he was thrown out. When he comes close to the house, he likes what he sees. Why is he so happy? Well, first and foremost, it is the fact that the house is empty. What else do you want? You come back and the house is empty, ready to be possessed again. That is the dream of every robber. If there is nobody in the house, you can do whatever you want without worrying about opposition.
*
And on top of that, he notices that the house has been swept. Somebody has cleaned up the place. Really, you can’t ask for more than that! This is just ideal! The house is unoccupied. It is clean. And thirdly, it is ‘put in order.’ The Greek word for ‘put in order’ is*kosmeo, from which we have the word ‘cosmetics’. It basically means ‘decorated,’ ‘tidied up’ or ‘embellished.’ So there is no doubt that the place looks really nice. The evil spirit comes back to his previous home and finds it beautiful. It is clean. It is swept. You know, even the person who is very untidy by nature enjoys what is clean. As long as he doesn’t have to do the clean up, he enjoys it. In the same way, even evil spirits like justice, as long as they don’t have to submit to it. They like what is clean. And this house looks as good as new. It is literally waiting to be possessed.
*
This evil spirit, what does he do? Does he rush into the house and take possession of it? No. Why not? Instead of going into the house, he goes away and finds seven other spirits to come with him. He wants them to live with him. That is strange. Why does he want to share his house with seven other people? They are going to make a mess of the house! Wouldn’t it be better that he has the house all to himself? Is it because he felt lonely the first time and now he wants some company? If we think like that, we have not understood this evil spirit. Think about this. Why did he go and get seven more spirits? The answer is quite simple. He was cast out the first time, right? Well now, he is bringing seven stronger evil spirits with him to make sure that the next time, he is not going to be driven out that easily. Eight spirits are certainly harder to get rid of than one spirit. And these seven spirits are more evil than the first spirit, which probably means that they are spiritually more powerful.

[TD][h=4]THE LAST STATE OF THAT MAN IS WORSE
_______________________________________________________________________________[/h][h=1]Matthew 12:43-45[/h][h=1]*[/h][h=1]Yves I-Bing Cheng, M.D., M.A.[/h][h=1]www.meetingwithchrist.com[/h][h=1]*[/h][h=1]*[/h]In spiritual warfare, there is no room for neutrality. The Lord Jesus makes it plain in Matthew 12:30 where He says,*He who is not with Me is against Me.*This point is illustrated in a passage that is often called, ‘The return of the evil spirit.’ Let’s read this passage.
*
Matthew 12:43. "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
44 "Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
45 "Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man*isworse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation."
*
[h=2]A restless spirit[/h]*
The Lord Jesus speaks about an unclean spirit who, for some reason, has gone out of a man. This wicked spirit then travels through waterless places, seeking rest. The prophet Isaiah says,*The wicked are like the tossing sea, for it cannot be quiet … ‘There is no peace,’ says my God, ‘for the wicked’*(Isaiah 57:20-21). ‘There is no rest for the wicked.’ This is true of human beings. It is also true of spirits. An evil spirit is a restless spirit. He has no peace and he doesn’t like that. That is why he wanders through waterless regions with the hope that he can find a place where he will be able to rest. You see, even the evil spirits don’t like restlessness any more than the sinner who is restless enjoys being restless. What is a waterless place? It is a place where there is no life. And where there is no water, there is no life. From the spiritual standpoint, where there is evil, there is no life. There will be life only if there is righteousness. These two, life and righteousness, are always together. You cannot separate them. And where there is righteousness, there is peace. There is rest.
*
So this evil spirit, having wandered for some time, decides that he will go back to where he came from in order to find some rest. Here, there are some questions we need to ask. First of all, let’s consider this. If the evil spirit wanted to go back to where he came from, why did he leave in the first place? Why didn’t he just stay there? Surely, even a broken down place is better than the desert.
*
In order to answer that question, we have to look at the context of Matthew 12. Matthew 12 deals with the person of the Holy Spirit who, by His power working through the Lord Jesus, casts out evil spirits. This was one of the main points of discussion in that chapter. Jesus was being accused of casting out evil spirits by the power of Satan. He responded by refuting the Pharisees’ charge and then declared that He drives out demons by the Spirit of God (v. 28). Now, when an evil spirit is cast out, what happens to that spirit? Where does he go? Well, he wanders through waterless places seeking rest. You see, no evil spirit leaves of*his own*choice. No man can free himself from the power of the evil spirit. If we could, we wouldn’t need the power of the Holy Spirit to save us from the evil one.
*
[h=2]I will return to my house[/h]*
We have to realize that we are engaged in a spiritual battle that involves forces which are far greater than us. Jesus describes Satan in v. 29 as a strong man, heavily armed, who has human beings under his control. How can we be set free from the power of Satan? Jesus says,*How can one enter a strong man's house …*unless he first binds the strong man*(Matthew 12:29)? Jesus is the stronger man. He came to bind Satan so that we may be set free. It is only through Christ, through faith in Christ, that we can be set free from Satan’s power.
*
The word ‘house’, in the Bible, is a common picture of a human being. For example, the Lord Jesus speaks of building our house on the rock (Matthew 7:24). We put our house, our life, upon the teaching of Jesus. In John 14, Jesus says, ‘If any man obeys My word, My Father and I will come to him and we will make our home with him.’ In our passage, the Lord Jesus makes it very plain that the man whom the evil spirit left is the house in which he wants to dwell in again.*I will return to my*house*(the man)*from which I came*(Matthew 12:44).
*
All these illustrations show that the human being is thought of as a house, a house which is either going to be the house of God or the house of the devil. We are either going to be the temple of God or we are going to be the house of the unclean spirits. In other words, there are only two possible situations: we live under God’s power or we live under the power of Satan. Whoever owns the house is of course the person who runs the house. He has authority over his property. My house doesn’t tell me what to do. I do with the house what I choose to do. So the question becomes like this. Who controls your life? Who runs your life? Is it God or is it Satan? In this world, nobody is master and lord of himself. Let us be clear about that. So who has authority over your life? God or Satan? Remember that there is no neutral ground between these two. The spiritual reality is that every heart is the residence of unclean spirits except those who are the temples of the Holy Spirit.

This is a great teaching. There are not many denominations that believe people could be controlled/possessed by demons. The saying deal with your demons, is not a joke, but is actually factually very truthfull. The only denominations, or faith's I know is the Penticostal's and the Catholic's. That the ARch diocese does not deny this, and states this is very true, demon possession, and the only other denomination is the Penticostals. *This is a good understanding, of why a person when they choose to repent, should resist the devil, in temptations, for it is meant for us to be strong in the Lord, as we grow into maturity in his word, and in his fellowship, within the Holy spirit in us, our communication which is prayer to God, we will become stronger, as we move in unto him. Christ never calls us to play church, he said follow me, and that means, him and no other man's teaching, unless it is in aline with his. People fall away, and astray, because they listen to another, Jesus said, my sheep know my voice, another they will not listen to, a stranger. There are a lot of watered down teachings, and some not at all. The best teacher, is the HOly Spirit, the best church is entering into the Holy of HOlies, as we step into begin to prayer, it is a holy place, that only could be entered into the place of the Father's ears, is through Christ which is the altar called the HOly of Holies, which no more sacrifices need to be done, as King Melchechdeck did yearly for his people, Christ says, now anyone , is able to come in , anytime, and talk to God, through the shed blood on that altar, which is Jesus cleansing the Lord stand in the gap, between us and the Father, as an advocate, for our prayers and petitions.*

I want to be blunt about this written message below, as some might not take it as truth, or understand it.
It will not be understood, just as a non trained individual who is not trained, as a psychologist, to*perceive*inner things that others do not see.
The bible says, that the devil, satan, comes as a angel of light.
It will take a deep discernment from the Holy Spirit, and you need to be in the light to be able to discern, what has happened with a person, as to being under the influence of evil, or being actually under the control of evil, which is called demon*possession.
I've learned reading this, for the mere fact that even teachers, and leaders, do not understand this message.
Look at it from this perspective. It says, that the unclean spirit, which is an evil spirit, the opposite of the HOly Spirit, looks to either go back to it's original home, the spirit of man, or find another place as it said, well*organized, and decorated, or made beautiful, and clean.
It is talking about the life of a human being.*
Evil, wants to take the mind and bring confusion, instead of order, to destroy, any traces of self confidence, or self esteem, or totally scar a life with fear, instead of one made beautiful, which God created all things as beautiful.
He want to take the life, and ruin it from being clean within, defile it with*pornography, sadistic attitudes, towards women, and all kinds of*filthy*things and evil imaginations. This in turn goes from clean to*filthy, and defiled.
An example of this is a model, who is beautiful, but empty in her heart, of hope, and has gotten into despair, and*discouragement, and there is no anchor of having hope in the Lord, in Christ, who is our Hope, and who is Life.
So this has happened the drop from the building, and it ended there.
Jesus is the original fisher of men. His aim is to fish you out of being hooked, and chained in sins,*bondage's*that you can't get out of in your own*strengths.
Satan also is a fisher of men. He looks for someone to hook, and sink, and reel you in, as his captive. He looks for an opportunity for a greedy heart, and a person of status, where no one will suspect them, to do any wrong, but it is the trap, you just walked into, taking the bait, the hook, into your spirit.
HOw did it happen. Satan uses people, who actually are possessed, and very powerfully evil, as this message says, those who knew the LOrd, once, and walked away, those evil spirits came back with 7 more POWERful wicked evil demon's. Remember in the garden Satan is cunning, and crafty, and tempting, where he conned eve,*deceived*her, by his words, and temptations, of telling her she was not complete how God created her, there was something more she could gain, just as a bribe, you think what you will buy, how more secure and*powerful*you will be, it is your hook, line , and sinker, the game is over.
YOUr*caught, and will be ready to be scaled over, cleaned out, and what ever*decency, or morals you've had, it will be taken out, and filty, defilement will be the exchange. This is what happened to the prodigal son, he ended up spending his inheritance with prostitutes, and ate the pigs food, in the pig pen, of the filth.
A word of warning, and wisdom.
Disassociate*yourself with those who will destroy you, your*career, your job, and your life. It is a trap, from the devil.*Believe*it or not, this is not a poker game, it is the time not to give your hand to*receive*a friendship, that is the hand of the hook.
Sometimes people come across your path, at the right moment, and tell you what I'm telling you now, there is nothing hide from God. Your sin's will find you out, there is no covering for anyone, and there is no alibi which is only a lie, that will turn you in.
Beware, your adversary the devil prowls around seeking someone he could use to destroy, have you run into him, lately.

*Yay, this has and is a tough issue, to swallow, better to just spit it out of our mind, but when the Kings like David, and Solomon, were, they at one point in life, did worship him, as then some just started giving glory to themselves, and how beautiful their placaces were, and like King Nebuchanezer who gave himself honor and glory of what he did, God allowed him to become not a king for 7 years, but he crawled on the ground, and became as animal. It is taken from a godly perseptive, as God would not say, worship evil, and there is no statement of that in the word. There are some in authority who are corrupt, and at one point in life they will come down, because of pride, like it says, pride comes before a fall, they failed other's and*themselves. There is order in the Lord's principals, and only he knows the hearts of men, those who are sincere and become as servants to*society*whether through law, as Police, Judges, Presidents, there are honest people, and the rest falls on us, whether we want to*rebel*and become stubborn, to following Laws and Statutes, as pay your taxes, water bill, etc. or house bill. There are those who think just this way, against everything, don't want to pay the*mortgage, because why should they, and become hobos, living on the street. It just falls like dominos, where there is rebellion, you*rebel*against everything, this has become the mind set. The bible says, have the mind of Christ. {Rebellion, and*Stubbornness*is as witchcraft, and they both will have their place in the lake of fire hell.} *bible verse you could find it.
Parents who are evil, of course you should not obey the ways of the wicked, for even Jesus said, {"who is my mother and father, those who do and obey my word.} *There has been a lot of order in the world, until recently, the things going on with control, and breaking the governments down, is being rebellious, and stubborn, against this very scripture. So life goes on, with the*defiant, and the hostile, and then the other's the obedient, and the humble. *
