One of the things that I am being bent over lately is not that some people see demons under every rock but that some see angels in every picture frame!!!!
It seems that Christians are not just utterly bent out of shape but backwards about the spiritual realm. At one point every one wants love and blessings and prophecies that say God will bear you up under every attack, and blah, blah! Then they don't want to talk about demons and witchcraft, forbid, in the church!!! They assume everyone in the church is a Christian especially if they speak Christianese! They want all the good promises of the Bible and the exhortation done with the quiet, loving voice that wears a perpetual smile! They want to see angels everywhere because that is their 'sign' that God is there and protecting them.
They don't want to see the scriptures that say to put on the full armor of God or to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. Notice it doesn't say be gentle first, but be wise. They don't want to hear a prophecy that might show the finger of Gods' wrath because of their infidelity and sins. They won't judge and forbid, they won't be judged! They call down curses and use the scripture, ‘touch not mine anointed!'
I am weary from the Christians using scripture out of context to benefit whatever ails them! In my relearning I am having various scriptures come past me and I am seeing as if for the first time that they are 1) being taken not as a whole and 2) they are sorely out of context. These are the famous scriptures all the spirit-filled/faith teachers have passed across for the last 25 years (since I have known of them!). I believed theses teachings. I looked them up and studied them but it is almost like brainwashing or witchcraft. They put you in a submission mode that they know better, and hear from God (gosh, almost sounds like Catholicism!), and because they are who they are (and obviously you aren't) because they have a big ministry (and you don't), then what they are saying and teaching must be from God or at least right. Hogwash!!! There are so many Christians that are barely standing or standing their ground because of the weak, watered down Christ they have been fed. The scriptures have been so perverted and the so-called saints are eating it up… because they will hear what their itching ears want to hear.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. ~2Timothy 4:2-4
