Revelation of Heaven and Hell, Othusitse Mmusi [ebook reader with highlighter txt] 📗

In danger of losing their salvation:

Galatians 4:9-11: But now, after that ye have known GOD, or rather are known of GOD, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Cut off from CHRIST and have fallen from grace:

Galatians 5:1-12: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith CHRIST hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, CHRIST shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. CHRIST is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the SPIRIT wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in JESUS CHRIST neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the Truth? This persuasion cometh not of HIM that calleth you. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. I have confidence in you through The LORD, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? Then is the offence of the Cross ceased. I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

Preaching another gospel and anathema:

Galatians 1:6-9: I marvel that ye are so soon removed from HIM that called you into the grace of CHRIST unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of CHRIST. But though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed: As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT RINGS, BRACELETS, EARRINGS, JEWELLERY, AND PERFUME???

This scripture study list is provided to help bring clarity on an issue that has brought so much controversy. Read what the Bible has to say on the matter and see if they are deemed as a normal thing, or a damnable thing (as some strongly claim wearing any jewelry, including wedding rings send people to hell fire), or a permissible thing, or a good thing. Stay with the Word of GOD and you'll stay in truth. I have put emphasis, highlights and caps on items discussed. My remarks after the scriptures in ((brackets))

So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a GOLDEN NOSE RING weighing half a shekel, and two BRACELETS for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold, ….. 52 And it came to pass, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that he worshipped The LORD, bowing himself to the earth. 53 Then the servant brought out JEWELERY OF SILVER, JEWELERY OF GOLD, and CLOTHING, and gave them to Rebekah.

((Again rather than showing off the outward person, focus on developing the inner person))

Identifying Deception: IS IT A SIN FOR WOMEN TO WEAR PANTS, JEWELRY, MAKE UP ETC.?

In the summer of 2013, the Lord started appearing to 12 prayer warriors from The Blazing Holy Fire Church, speaking to them of the things concerning the Kingdom of GOD, teaching and training them as HIS End Time Army. For many nights, The LORD HIMSELF talked to us about deception. The teaching series on deception are a result of these encounters combined with many years of first-hand experience. Please take these teachings on DECEPTION seriously and apply in your life!

Deception - ‘One of The LORD’s Most hated enemy’s is a spirit from satan which is assigned against the people who are seeking GOD diligently. Among them are people who have their spiritual eyes open and have encounters from The LORD; people who read the books on heaven and hell; those in the fire ministry and revival movement; those who are serving The LORD and anyone who is seeking to go deep with GOD. satan is a liar and the father of lies (John) and his most powerful weapon right now against you who are called to see greater things is DECEPTION. Satan knows very well that many lives are being changed through the books of heaven and hell, his secrets are being exposed by those who ha e GOD’s FACE-to-face encounters, and so he is using this spirit to lead astray the elect. So far, deception has been working very well for him! As a pastor, many times I have seen people who had true FACE-toface encounters with The LORD being deceived, taken away from The LORD and started following the devil. I have seen this spirit overpowering those who prayed many hours a day; I have seen this spirit deceiving those who were on long fasts; those who loved GOD and were in the House of GOD everyday! More are those who became victims of this spirit than those who exercised their discernment and defeated the devil. This is why The LORD instructed me to write and expose the spirit of deception and warn you.

“Good News: DECEIVING spirit has no chance to overpower those who walk in humility, submitted to GODLY authority and have obedience unto death.”
