Happy Sunday.
NNU0000:
We should stop fasting and praying abi?
of course not, fasting and praying are important spiritual exercises. What I am saying is don't be discouraged if the devil comes to test you after your fasting and praying exercise rather be happy because that is a sign your prayers are causing an uproar in their kingdom and pray for the Grace and wisdom to overcome them.

Hello mister, when did you give your life to Christ? I gave mine in the '80's when it was several times more difficult to be born again. I am also an ordained minister of GOD. I decided to keep talking with you because I noticed that this time around you did not say any negative words against me... that is the attitude of a child of God you exhibit now.

Now put joke aside, and argument aside, I needed answers to the question I asked you. Assuming you are in my shoes, you gave your life to Christ in the 80's and even throughout the 90's you did not hear any church anywhere else in the world teach about killing witches with prayers.

What will you do when the 3rd generations of Christians in year 2000's upward began to prayer that witches should die? The only question I wanted to ask you is whether, apart from naija Christians, any christians in any other country do uphold this kind of teaching? Please with all sincerity do not dodge my question this time. It is good to know how similar and disimilar we are based on our generational upbringing in the Lord. If you want I can tell you how we handle witches then and even now, with a lot of examples.
many american preachers like Kenneth Hagin, Frank Hammond, John Lake were God's generals in spiritual warfare. Infact they were the ones who taught Nigerian pioneers like Idahosa how to combat spiritual battles.

Yes you cannot begin to list them biblically because nowadays Christians prefer to talk without quoting bible. So let us talk without quoting bible then huh?... I am really curious to know this... apart from the Nigerian Christians (who are now imbibing Mountain of Fire ministries method) can you show me any other Christian church, minister or believer in any other country of the world that believe that we should kill witches and wizards through prayers? I hinted at this kind of believe to an Italian christian and she laughed at me to scorn. Definitely none of the churches in Europe that I know of teaches such things... I want to get at the root of this matter anyway you can prove this doctrine outside the Nigerian contexts.

But I must now warn you about the Holy Spirit. The first person the Holy Spirit killed in the new testament was a BELIEVER named Ananias and his wife called Saphira. Ananias was neither a wizard nor was Saphira a witch, but they were staunch believers when killed. Yet when the Holy Spirit encountered a sorcerer named Bar-Jesus who bewitched the people with his false teachings, He did not kill this magician through Paul but punished him a little by making him go blind temporally for opposing the GOODNEWS. In the second instance, when Peter encountered Simon the magician, who used money to ask for the power of the Holy Spirit.... Peter did not curse this man but warned him that his money WOULD perish so his life too if he refuses to repent... then Simon asked for forgiveness.

A child of God should talk about how they evangelize those who are oppressed by sorcery. God can deliver witches and wizards only when you preach and pray with them, not when you pray against them. But be warned that the Holy Spirit prefer to kill the children of God who are stiffnecked... see what God did to the Israelites who disobeyed Him. When a child of God who should know the truth, that they are God's representatives on earth to deliver and save souls, take God's mercy for granted and begin to teach what is not even scriptural in line with the plan for REDEMPTION... God will First warn them... but know that when a believer fall into the hand of the Almighty, they will not fair better a witch. Because God considers rebellion itself like the sin of witchcraft and stubbornnes like idolatry.
I hope you know Europeans burnt nothing less than 1000 witches alive!! Those generations experienced what real witchcraft was. That it snows in New York does not mean it snows it lagos. If you have experienced witchcraft in Nigeria, you will understand the meaning of spiritual wickedness in high places(Eph 6:12) and suffer not a witch to live. The present crop of Europeans think of witches as palm readers and tarot cards. Personally, I used to think the same way till 2yrs ago when I witnessed how wicked they can be. Most will rather die than repent. Besides, who made the present Europeans the standard for Christianity. We are talking of people who have gay priests and support abortion

Religion / Who is the true head of the home? by JourneytoEL(f): 10:10pm On Jul 04, 2020
When the bible refers to the husband as the head of the home(Eph 5:22-24), it does not only mean the physical head but the spiritual head.

Duties of a Christian Husband/Father
• The man is the Priest of his family.
• It is the duty of the man to lead morning and night devotions in his family.
• It is the duty of the man to present his family as a living sacrifice to God.
• It is his duty to preach and pray for his family.

What happens when the man doesn't take his priestly role.
It is unfortunate that many men don't understand their positions as the priest of their families. In many Christian homes, the husbands have relegated the duty of praying to their wives. Just like Esau, they have sold their birthright for a pot of pottage ( or less!!). Many women are now the spiritual head of their homes and the spiritual always controls the physical. That is why some men complain that "their wives are turning their kids away from them". That is also why many men die at their mid-age. But, the kids are intuitively following the mother, because she is the new head of the home.

Here lies the worst part:
The worst is many priests of the homes now engage in sexual immorality. How can a Christian father brag about having a side chick? How can you open your home to demonic attacks because of 20mins pleasure? Why make your family become one with a prostitute(1 Cor 6:16) because of lust? Stop acting surprised when your daughters become promiscuous and bring home kids out of wedlock at 19yrs, because you introduced the spirit to your family. Stop been shocked when your sons become cultist and philanderers, because you are the one who taught them so. If the head is spoilt how will the body survive?
There is no excuse for living an adulterous life. You can't punish your wife by been adulterous. You are only punishing your soul by risking eternal damnation.
My wife is withholding sex, my wife is fat, my wife is dirty, is not enough reason to spend eternity away from your creator.
Remember, 1 Cor 6:9-10 says, Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality.....will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Repent today and take your rightful place as the priest of your home.

Acehart:
I haven’t heard any of his sermons but his name got imprinted on my mind on his birthday with whatsapp status updates and Nairaland well wishers.

On one of the updates, he spoke to his congregation about the favor of David towards Mephibosheth; in the midst of his dramatic oratory, he left out the most important point; whether intentional or not, I regarded that short clip as a lying message. Then a few days later, my friend in the US called and expressed his dismay about one of his friends being misled by this man’s messages. I thought: “what a coincidence”!

An Apostle means “an eye witness (of the resurrection of Christ)”. So I usually regard people who go about that title as false messengers.

Your writeup is cool; and I hope young people will realize that this man isn’t the real deal, very soon.
his messages are usually at least 50mins long and some up to 6hrs long but come as part 1-4, that you didn't hear what you wanted to hear in a short clip does not mean he didn't mention it. That aside, apostle actually means messenger, he that is sent, sent one.

Kobojunkie:

So when John the apostle accused the liars who were deceiving the believers liars, by your assertion above, it meant the liars were correct? undecided

When Jesus Christ Himself went around pronouncing curses on the Pharisees for deceiving the people with their many doctrines and traditions, Jesus Christ was simply "hating on" the Pharisees, by your assertion, since they were the "accused"? undecided
if you are observant, you would have noticed I don't reply your mentions, but today will be an exception. I don't engage in arguments (2 Tim 2:23). I have observed your comments on threads in this section and I know who your father is. A mango tree will produce mangoes and a guava tree will produce guava, as the bible says, by their fruits you shall know them. How many souls have you and the journalist won for Christ? yet, you go around accusing those who are working hard in his vineyard winning souls for Christ. That is the work of the "accuser of the brethren" (Rev 12:9-11). That a bag is in a garage does not make it a car, same way, that a person knows some passages of the bible does not make him a Christian. heck, even the demons believe in the power of Jesus. I will advise you to repent before it is too late.

wow, your testimony is mind blowing. How can one become so prayerful that witches die at their command? How were you able to overcome fear? Whenever I want to pray at midnight, I'm always scared of closing my eyes or leaving my eyes open. It is almost as if a demon wants to attack me and I get scared. pls do you have any useful tips on how to overcome fear?

When Jesus was on earth, pharisees accused him of even worst things. Like I always say, your Christian journey has not started if you don't have accusers who are sons of the "accuser of the brethren". For those who have never listened to any of his messages, take out time to do so. God used his messages to change my life. All you have to do is go to google, search for naija sermons apostle Joshua Selman and download any title of your choice. My all time favourites are re-igniting the power of the Holy Spirit, mystery of deliverance, gaining spiritual stature and the Holy Spirit series. God used his sermons to change my life and I believe he will change yours through them.

No. I didn't mean that. I meant that I do not see the current president of the United states winning a second time ( tenure will be short). He will hand over power to another.

TheNoble007:
Greetings to everyone. It is a wonderful feeling reading posts here. I humbly respect the OP and some others who through humility, have narrated and helped lots of people here. I will post some things here that will be amazing to some because this is a faceless forum.. From my experience and walk with God in the prophetic for many years, I will say that there are many voices out there. But to a spirit filled Christian, we need to hear God's voice. The supernatural is real. I live presently in New York City. The virus killed lots of people even in the building I lived in previously. This is no news to people. But to know that an angel of the Lord came to and applied an oitment of a sort on my face in the month of February 2020 reminds me of God's love and preservation. Hearing the voice of the one true God in this last days will be very needful because the days that are coming is not for the faint of heart. The more we wait upon the Lord, the more our spiritual eyes are opened to see mysteries. The more we wait upon the Lord and embrace the economy of prayer, the more we are changed into the likeness of Jesus Christ. In the year 2008, in a night Vision, God spoke to me and said- No one who sees the real Jesus will ever remain the same. Anyone who sees Him must change. I don't know the type of Jesus that you are seeing. I don't know the type of Jesus that was preached to you. But the Jesus I know, is the Jesus of the Cross where men who come to Him live their lives in holiness and righteousness. As the behold the crucified and risen Christ, they are changed into His likeness. God speaks in various manners. Audible voice, visions, dreams, trances, innner witnessing and so on. God's voice has been real to me. The ability to know things- word of knowledge comes when we touch just a little degree of God's mind. This is a gift. I have seen this gift in a large degree in my life. Even my school exams in the University of Jos. If God can be detailed about my school exams, making me know things before hand and I will tell my course mates, how much more big details of our lives. The word of knowledge, is also evident in knowing the minds of people as it is been revealed to you. But nevertheless, God's gifts are given for us to bear fruit. Fruit of the Holyspirit is what will take us to Heaven. I am a perfect example of this. I have been in the prophetic since 2007 at the early age of 16. This prophetic gifts has been growing since then, from knowing things about people as I meet them physically, to many spiritual dimension such as conversing with biblical saints. On one occasion, the apostle paul told me in a revelation many years ago saying- pursue God as far as you are young. I have never been okay with religion and have ran away from acclamation of men until when God decides to unveil His servant. Most notably, when I shared a prophecy on the false accusation of adultery by a lady from Canada that was coming to a well known man of God in Nigeria. Well known man of God. I shared this in 2016, and this was fulfilled in 2017. I told his church then and gave this man of God this message. But when I was invited to the church, I ran. That you see visions and prophesy things that come to pass doesn't mean that you are ready to begin ministry. You need to wait upon the Lord God and see His timing. If not, the enemy will sift you. Our Lord Jesus told His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations. He didn't say go and make followers.. This is an error that the current church has fallen into. We all have access to the presence of God. Why can't we go to Him and develop that Father- Child relationship? The patriarch Moses cried out in Numbers 11:28; how I wish all of God's people can hear God's voice ( are prophets). God told me that He is answering the prayers of Moses in this last days. It is only those that wait upon the Lord that can stand firm because the time that is coming, is not for the faint of heart. We also need to constantly evaluate ourselves in the light of God's word. Allow Him to search your heart to know your standing in Him. This is why David was called a man after God's own heart. In the year 2012, the Lord Jesus came to me and told me how I fell from grace for a while and was sifted but He has prayed for me for my restoration. Like apostle Peter, I rebuked that word. Telling the Lord that it should not happen, considering my walk with Him for many years. My pride and arrogance. That very moment began my fall.The Lord just smiled at me. Oh, His profound love. That same year, I fell deeper from grace into sin. Yet I was still seeing visions, active in prophecy, knowing the past, present and future of people as I meet them with details. Knowing where bombs will take off in Jos city and I will warn people ahead. People avoided such places and marveled. Yet I was on my way to hell. Do not judge people by the gift but by fruit. I am very glad that the Lord Jesus restored me back to grace in order for me to walk into my life fulfilment. This is a lesson. When Adam walked with God, he heard the footsteps of God. When he fell, he also heard the footsteps of God. The footsteps of God behind us, may not mean that God is walking with us. It can also mean that God is walking away from us. That's why we need to evaluate ourselves constantly in the light of His word, so that He will give us an accurate interpretation of His footsteps behind us. God's footsteps means His blessings, gifts of the spirit, miracles and so on. Please abide in God's presence in the place of prayer. Let Him show us constantly whom we really are. Eternity is so long that we shouldn't joke with anything in this present life. Now I will share some prophecies that the Lord God gave me which will soon occur. The validation of these prophecies is when they are fulfilled. Until then, let us watch and see..

HERE ARE THE PROPHECIES:

1) In the year 2008, about 12 years ago, I had a vision of the night in which I was walking with the Lord Jesus, and He began to tell me of a great commotion/unrest that is coming upon Nigeria, and this commotion is billed for occurrence. And He then told me that some politicians lost their lives in the process including a person of good mention. When He mentioned the name, I was surprised. I asked the Lord again to confirm, and He said YES. I was still surprised and wanted to ask Him again, but He read my mind and said to me- "Don't mention that name again" with pain in His voice.. I was now left alone, and I began to hear praises and worship coming from true children of God in the time of the great unrest. Then the vision ended.

The world is shaking at the moment, and no part will be free soon to come. Albeit, prophecies are meant for us to pray and also prepare... We have loved ones.. We can extend our prayers not only for ourselves, but to others as well for preservation.. A great commotion is coming upon Nigeria, and if believers can pray, violence of any sort will be brought under control.. May God preserve His children.

2) In a vision, I do not see the current president of the United States holding power for a long time. His tenure will be short and another will take his place.. Those who understand, will understand.

3) In the spirit, I see another virus coming after the corona virus. By the year 2021, corona virus will have left the face of the earth. But another will be introduced. This will be more deadly than corona, albeit looking similar to it. It will make corona look like a child's play, and will baffle the scientific world. The world economy will be crumpled further. Most notably the United states. It's main victims will be men and children.

4) I see a wave of power coming upon the world. Particularly in Africa. Powerful youth with the anointing of Elijah will begin to rise in this last days in great numbers, from 2021 and beyond.. They will be humble and will help build nations. Many of them will be Matyrs for the sake of the gospel. A great revival is coming as it was in the day of Pentecost.

5) In the spirit, I saw the walls of the United States falling. Oh, how great would be the fall...

6) The coming of a World wide persecution of true Christians is at hand. Very close.

Back to hiding.....

The Governor still has time to make amends by doing a condolence visit to a home of a former Governor who happens to be his predecessor. Am sure some wise elders will give him wise counsel soon except he is too stubborn. Humanity comes first, there is no blackmail here.
seyi mankind, has suffered Coronavirus, he knows that the disease is not a joke. I don't understand why people will be going to the house of someone who just died of corona and exposing themselves to his family and staff who can be silent carriers. I trust the governor is a wise man that loves his life. He will stay in his own house and send condolence, besides he and the former governor were never friends, so why should he risk his life like that.

I'm not the person you quoted, but once a possessed person dies, the evil spirit leaves the body and looks for someone else to possess. That is why when some people die, their corpse can look 10-15yrs younger. They continue this cycle till the end of time when they will destroyed in the lake of fire.

southpole:
you stated that " If you love God, you will denounce money, your parents and everyone around you, just to worship him" with all due respect I think you are wrong, the Bible did not ask us to denounce money it only talked against the love for money over the love for God and same Bible did not asked us to denounce our parents and everyone around us. in the ten commandment God instructed us to honour our mothers and fathers not to denounce them, the only thing is that don't love your parents more than how you love God, if your parents wishes, desires and what they teach you is contrary to God's teaching you must follow God. Again the Bible did not teach us to denounce everyone around us. Jesus instructed us to love our neighbours as ourselves, in another place he said love your enemies and pray for those who hate you.
what I meant was loving money or parents more than God, matt 10:37, "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Thank u.. Help attend to the second question??
Yes, your life (spirit and soul) is the most important thing to God. And obedience to his Word, is the first rule of heaven and faith.
1 Samuel 15:22 says, But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.
It is better to obey the will of God with faith than to run the most successful ministry in the world.

John 14:15, Jesus says “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
If you love God, you will want to make heaven at all cost so you can spend your eternity with him.
If you love God, you will denounce love for money, your parents and everyone around you, just to worship him.
If you love God, the thought of not seeing him after death will make you cry.
If you love God, you will be ready to lay down your life for his sake.
If you love God, you will do his will.
If you love God, you will rather starve than steal. Actually, God won't let you starve. By his Grace, I AM A LIVING WITNESS. If the birds of the sky have food, what more you his true love (matt 6:26, 7:7-11)

If you claim to love God and continue committing sin, you can be likened to a man who beats and sleeps around with other women, but claim to love his wife. That is a toxic kinda love.
If you truly love God, it will feel like the way Romeo loves his Juliet. You won't want to hurt him and can even die than betray him.

Actually, many people grew up loving God but finally found themselves in the toxic kinda love because the gods of this age has blinded them (2 Cor 4:13). When there is life, there is hope. If you are in this group, please repent today for tomorrow might be too late. I get am before no be property.

Religion / Re: 5 Life Lessons To Learn From The Temptation Of Jesus Christ by JourneytoEL(f): 7:09am On Jun 28, 2020
1. Praying and fasting does not chase away the devil.

Jesus fasted for 40 days and immediately after the devil appeared. Don't be surprised if you fast for 3days and those around you all of a sudden begin to annoy you. It is a trap. Don't insult or get angry at them.

2. It is the knowledge of The Word of God and its due application that chases away the devil and evil spirits. The devil also knows the bible.

The bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge. Not every thought or person quoting the bible is from God. Every Christian needs to read and study his Bible to be able to discern the true voice of God.
After Jesus fasted, the devil appeared and suggested he changes stone to bread to eat. Jesus was hungry but refused to do so because he understands that nothing good especially an advise can come from the devil. If you praying and fasting for financial blessings and your company is owing you 3months, the next day you go to work you can hear something like this through your colleagues.
Evil: Guy, come and join us oo. This is how we have by surviving by defrauding our company. We steal some goods or diesel and remove them from the accounts and sell them. See how wicked our oga is, 3months how he has not paid us. Better shine your eyes wella wells. This one no be brother brother matter. Na where you dey work, you go dey chop. Besides, your God is an all forgiving God. He will forgive you.
True Christian: The bible thou shall not steal. It is against the character of a heaven bound Christian to steal. I will rather wait on the Lord and be an accountable man like Joseph.
Or, you are a woman and God has called you to start a deliverance ministry, the next thing you hear is,
Evil: but the bible says women shouldn't speak or have authority over men in church. Don't answer your call it is against the will of God.
True Christian: the bible says in Gal 3:28,
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Learn to discern the true will of God and
use it as your weapon.

3. Jesus did not insult the devil. Stop underestimating the devil.

During his encounter with the devil, there was no time that Jesus insulted him by calling him mumu, ode, goat etc. It is the legal right of the devil and his demons to hover around the earth looking for souls to lead to sin till the last day (Job 1:7) when they will be put in the abyss. Proverbs 26:2 says, no causeless curse shall stand. They are here because of the fall of Adam. Don't be deceived into insulting them because the bible says in Jude 1:9-10, But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.

Eph 4:29 says, Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

Please stop insulting the devil and his minions. It is sinful.
Imagine how tricky Yahoo boys are, then imagine how tricky the devil who is the father of lies is. He has been around for many generations and has seen different civilisations. He knows the shining things that are dear to the heart of man and will forever use it to destroy him. The only power we have is our authority in the blood of Jesus. Hence, seek first the kingdom of God.

4. The devil is a counterfeit. He can give seeming riches and power.

When Adam sinned, he gave the devil the key to torment and own the earth. The devil has his people in positions of power and great wealth because with his experience, he knows that this is what men like. Since God gives power and money, the devil too gives his counterfeit version of power and money. Don't be surprised when you see a young man who sings in the choir, all of a sudden sings a worldly song that has no content, yet he will blow, become rich and popular. Don't be surprised to see a politician who has placed his state in the bondage of poverty by not paying salaries win a second term. Don't be surprised when you see a young church boy, turn to a Yahoo boy and becomes popular and very rich. Don't be surprised when a pastor goes to seek marine powers, perform more miracles, become rich and famous. The devil has counterfeit anointing, power, money. But, watch their end. They always end up taking drugs and smoking, losing most of their family members to death, losing their fame and money after 7years, become depressed or die untimely.

5. Don't give the devil a chance. Be vocal and say Get behind me satan.

Most people think the devil will always tempt you will disaster and sickness. In his experience, he has learnt to tempt with your most pressing need. If you need a husband, he will come with a man who will demand fornication. If you need money, he will come with yahoo, rituals or crime. If you make up your mind to stop masturbating, he will come through the film or music video you are watching. The devil tried Jesus 3 times, but please ensure the highest he does to you is one, then shout get behind me satan. Then loose with faith the Angels to come guard and protect you. Loose the protective hedges of the fire of God all round.

Feel free to share other lessons you learnt through the temptation of Christ.

Religion / 5 Life Lessons To Learn From The Temptation Of Jesus Christ by JourneytoEL(f): 7:08am On Jun 28, 2020
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.

6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

It is slander. If the uncle keeps quiet it will look like he cannot deny the accusation.

The uncle's reputation will be damaged.

The reason to respond to false accusation of this magnitude is to prove that you have nothing to hide.

All the boy has to do is state his evidences/proof or retract his accusation and issue an apology. You cant just ruin someone's good name and expect him to keep quiet just because your mama die
one sad thing about we Nigerians is that we have grown so wicked that we can't recognize wickedness. have you been to a Nigerian police station before? do you know what if feels like to be in that horrible cell? I won't even do such a thing to my worst enemy talk more or less my blood whose mother might still in the morgue. if clearing your name is your problem, there are far better ways to do it. imprisoning the young guy because he is broke doesn't in any way prove the uncle is innocent

In other words, a man just lost his sister and the next thing he did is to put her son in prison undecided undecided, what sort of man puts a young man who just lost his mother in prison? If your nephew accuses you of killing his mother, the best thing is to sit him down as an elder and tell him you didn't do it because the young man is only bereaved. Even if you are doubting the pastor, the man's wicked action just proved the pastor might be saying the truth.

Tiredagain:





All the the fights we have had over the course of the relationship was nothing serious about... He can just wake up and decide to ignore me for like weeks or months and all those times, I will be the one begging for the attention.. I decided to stop those nonsenses this year and then he started stalking me, when we made up over the phone, he agreed on catching up only for him to come up with this too..

I relayed to my best friend, he said that I should sort things out with him even if it will cost our friendship because he knows I loved the dude genuinely..

My problem now is whether to make the 1st move
with all these signs you are still calling him fiance and planning to marry him. tomorrow you will start saying marriage na scam. this guy is obviously a narcissist. I will advise you to break off that relationship unless you don't care about your mental wellbeing

2 Sam 6:16-end
Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the LORD with all his might,

15 while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of trumpets.

16 As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.

17 They brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the LORD.

18 After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD Almighty.

19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.

20 When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”

21 David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the LORD.

22 I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”

23 And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.


matt 12:24-32
But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.”

25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

29 “Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

30 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

Righteousness89:
The Position/ Power Mongers

All they are After is to be called this or that! They are so intoxicated with Church position. They can do anything just to be Recongnized. They are the politicians in the church.


The Self Righteousness/ Arguers

Those who are always out to Criticize people. Critize Messages and yet very empty! They claim they know but you will never see them Preaching the Gospel. all they are Intrested is in being a Stubbling block to those that preach.
They won't enter Heaven and they won't allow others enter
absolutely correct. power mongers are no 5 while those who call themselves Christians but are allergic to the true gospel are no 1 & 2
