Some Of You Are Listening To Doctrines Of Demons And Don’t Even Realise It

i believe that the greatest and most trusted source of knowledge for this life and the life to come is the bible the bible teaches us in second timothy chapter 3 verse 16 to 17 that all scripture is given by inspiration of god and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness that the man of god may be complete thoroughly equipped for every good work now this same bible this bible that contains all of these scriptures that were breathed out by god also clarifies in 1st timothy chapter 4 verse 1 saying now the spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons so people will have the purity of the truth of god at their disposal but there will be some who will choose to attach themselves to information that comes from sources that are related to demonic activity that's what the bible means when it says some will devote themselves to teaching of demons think about it even the bible teaches that the devil himself is the ruler of the world in which we live john 8 44 explains that the devil was a murderer from the beginning that he has nothing to do with the truth because there is no truth in him when he lies he speaks out of his own character for he is a liar and the father of lies however society in many cases has chosen to follow after principles associated with the teachings of demons instead of adhering to the source which we know to be the truth the word of god and let me clarify something teachings of demons are not what many think them to be they are not necessarily related to overt evil but it's more of a subtle deceptive evil the teachings or doctrines of demons will tell you things like you can sin as much as you want because god's grace is unlimited and his mercy endures forever the teachings or doctrines of demons will encourage you to live for yourself take care of yourself and build wealth but in both of those examples there is only a little bit of truth mixed in with lies what those examples don't tell you is that yes god has given us grace and his mercy endures forever but god is not mocked because whatever a person sows they will also reap and on the second example god does want to take care of you and see you prosper but prosperity is not always monetary a person can prosper financially but be dead spiritually and i believe it's always better to be rich in christ to be rich spiritually then materially because what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul so as christians we really should not be surprised that people are turning away from the truth at such alarming rates but we should also realize that we cannot just lay down and watch it happen i want you to listen to what second timothy chapter 4 verse 2 to 4 says because in his instruction to timothy the apostle paul intensely stated preach the word be ready in season and out of season convince rebuke exhort with all long-suffering and teaching for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but according to their own desires because they have itching ears they will heap up for themselves teachers and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables paul needed his son in the faith to understand that his responsibility was to stand firmly on the word of god because it was the truth he needed him to understand that when others were turning away to doctrines of demons he still needed to be teaching and preaching the truth he needed him to understand that when people began to look for teachers that would cater to their feelings and avoid the truth that he needed to continue to give them what they needed and not what they wanted paul needed timothy to understand that no matter what things looked like all around him that he simply must continue in the words and doctrines that he had been instructed in and not in the doctrines that were leading people astray in galatians chapter 1 verse 6 to 8 the apostle paul in his letter to the galatians also stated i marvel that you are turning away so soon from him who called you in the grace of christ to a different gospel which is not another but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of christ but even if we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you let him be accursed paul knew there was only one truth and he also knew his enemy the devil wanted to pervert that truth to keep people from being in right relationship with god jesus christ said i am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me this is the truth we need to hold on to salvation can only be found in jesus christ and there is no other name under heaven that can bring salvation to mankind there is only one god and only one mediator between god and man and his name is jesus christ when jesus walked the earth the first message that he preached when he began his ministry was to repent and believe the gospel when we as believers in jesus christ follow any other teaching philosophy or doctrine we are being led astray from the truth led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to christ and being led astray to serve the devil's world which is the kingdom of darkness in the end according to the word of truth this is not the side that we are going to want to be on revelation 12 verse 9 declares so the great dragon was cast out that serpent of old called the devil and satan who deceives the whole world he was cast to the earth and his angels were cast out with him god's word and his truth will prevail no other teaching philosophy or doctrine will be able to overcome what god has declared to be right and god's greatest creation mankind will be able to live with him forever in his great kingdom providing we make the right choice to follow his doctrine and not the dangerous doctrines of the world [Music] in titus chapter 2 verse 13 the bible tells us about the blessed hope what is the blessed hope you may ask well in titus 2 13 the bible says waiting for our blessed hope the appearing of the glory of our great god and savior jesus christ the blessed hope for us as christians is the second coming of our lord jesus christ saints let me tell you that we are on a collision course with destiny there is coming a day when those who have been born again will be caught up in the air to meet jesus personally i look forward to the rapture the bible tells us that we will be given glorified bodies in heaven we will be in the presence of god almighty for all eternity now salvation is a personal decision meaning that it's your decision alone to accept jesus christ or reject him just as you came into the world alone and you will leave this world on your own you will stand before christ as an individual there will be a day where you can't point to your mother or father it won't matter what your last name is or who you're related to the only thing that will
