What is the True “offense”?
What is the true offense?
This is a biblical response to the common tactic satan uses against God’s Word and His Church in regards to immorality of sexual perversions, which is “You are JUDGING. Judge not lest you be judged”; and “ Love conquers all; “love them, but whatever you do, don’t address their perversion, because that is HATE…” Satan often misuses Gods Word or takes it out of context. He attempted to destroy Jesus the same way. Jesus discerned. So must we. Oh, WHAT A LIAR THE DEVIL IS!!!
LGBTPQBE—Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Pedophilia, Queer, Beastiality—although pornography is not specifically biblically addressed, it falls into the same category- it is an ungodly sexual perversion that destroys a soul. Of course, adultery and fornication are also grave sexual sins. These are all abominations according to Gods Word; sins that lead to condemnation and damnation. They are sins against ones own flesh and “lifestyle sins”—ongoing, continual, unrepentant sins- Jesus said it; not me.
Of course, perversion of any kind can be acted out because of flesh and fleshly desires; but it has been my experience that perverse lifestyles are mostly generated by perverse demonic influences, which can ONLY BE ANNIHILATED BY CHRIST JESUS through true and effective deliverance of evil (demonic) spirits, in which the bearer of such demonic influence, having first allowed such by acting out the perversion instead of fleeing the tempter, must also TAKE THE individual RESPONSIBILITY to RENOUNCE, REPENT, and ALLOW CHRIST’S TRUE DELIVERANCE if one is to be truly SET FREE. “Counseling” and “pills” are not effective strategies against demons. You cannot counsel out a demon, nor will it leave by a pill… IT MUST BE CAST OUT IN JESUS’NAME, and one must take up The Cross, and FOLLOW HIM to be FOREVER FREE of such wicked domination.
He who is spiritual, that is, led of Holy Spirit, judges all things-whether they be of God, flesh, satan. 1 Cor 2:12-16. 1 John 4:1-6; 16:7-11 Holy Spirit dwells inside a true believer, and is the discerner of spirits—that is, to discern or “see” by The Holy Spirit what spirit is working in and through a man. 1 Cor 12:10, Acts 5:1-10, Acts 16:16-18. This “judgement” is not judging to condemnation or due wrath, as GODS judgement is—it is DISCERNING between that which is good and that which is evil; which is REQUIRED for followers of Christ. Col 1:9, 2 Cor 5:10 Gal 5:22-6:8
Jesus addresses hypocrisy also. Matt 7:1-5; We are to continually allow Holy Spirit to “check our heart”. He speaks of religious authorities; pharisees, who put on an outward appearance of “holiness”, who condemn people (often, the punishment was death by stoning; John 8:1-11; note what Jesus said: GO AND SIN NO MORE) taking part in the same sins of which they themselves are partakers of, yet condemning others to judgement for the same sins they themselves do! HYPOCRISY. This would be the preacher who says “Do not steal”, yet steals contributions for his own wealth; the pastor who says “do not commit adultery, condemning the adulterer and doing the same. The brother or sister who slanders another while preaching against it. Again, it is not our job to condemn, but to discern and speak truth. James 5:19-20. Eph 6:18 ;
Jesus came for sinners, which we all are—1 John 1:8– NOT so that we could continue to be slaves to satan through sin, Romans 6, but rather”slaves to righteousness” through The Holy Spirit’s refinement, sanctification, and leading. Romans 8. Jesus came so He could “set the captives free”. Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:18-21. ALLELUIA! Yet, satan attempts to trample upon The Cross with lies of “you can live for me AND Him” ..which is another wicked strategy. Matt 6:24 tells us you cannot serve two masters. You cannot serve satan through sinful lifestyles and love and serve Jesus at the same time. Holy Spirit conviction will always lead you AWAY from evil and TO righteousness through Christ Jesus. If you’re choosing sin, you are not being led of Holy Spirit.
Jesus came to stop satan’s strategies. John 10:10. Indeed, He healed many of wicked spiritual oppression manifested through physical ailments, and even makes the command to “go and sin no more”; stating “less something worse befall you”. From scripture, we see that sinful lifestyles can lead to not only spiritual death but physical death also. John 5:14, Luke 13:11 God will always draw one to truth, but often man stubbornly turns from Gods convictions, in order to fulfill his own fleshly lusts, resulting in God leaving them to fend for themselves and suffer due recompense. Romans 1:24-32. Have you ever seen/read the medical science on what occurs PHYSICALLY inside the bodies of those engaging in sexual perverseness? Please, research this! It is the devil’s strategy to steal kill destroy.
Anyone who truly believes in Jesus will come to Him with a contrite and repentant heart, open to surrender ALL to Him; all those things that ARE NOT of Him, and take up their cross and follow Him. This simply means laying our life down FOR HIM; surrendering those things in our life that are not of Him; submitting to Him as Lord in our life, committing ourselves to His Work in His Kingdom here on earth, and being willing to walk with Him 24/7, led by Holy Spirit. Matt 16:21-27, Acts 1:8, 26:14-18, Mark 16:15-20, Romans 12:1
The mistake—really “a strategy of satan”—many believers fall into is believing Jesus would think its ok for them to CONTINUE in sinful lifestyles AFTER professing they are His and receiving Him into their heart. YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT. . This is satan’s trap to keep them bound, and they will most likely hear these words when they see Jesus. Matt 7:21-23. To know Him is to love Him; to love Him is to follow Him. John 15:10. Right now, there are many false preachers leading people astray—telling them its ok to live in sin, or saying that “good is evil and evil is good”. These folks are being led astray! And if they assume positions of authority, leading others astray also—The Word proclaims their judgement will be far worse; because by their assumed (not appointed by God) authority, they lead others astray. Matt 18;6
In every age, satan has used mans fleshly weaknesses to lure him into sin and keep him there. Gal 5:16-17. His strategy is, after all, to STEAL KILL DESTROY. John 10:10. A saved born-again Holy Spirit led believer will be convicted of his sin individually by the Convictor, Mighty Holy Ghost, John 16;13, and will lay aside those things that hinder his walk with Christ, being refined more and more to achieve “pure gold” through The Refiners Fire on a continual basis. A true believer does not make concessions for his sin, or excuses for it. A true believer has a willing heart to lay his sin at the foot of The Cross and say “I HAVE YOU. I NO LONGER NEED THIS…I GIVE IT TO YOU, JESUS—Help me to never fall for satan’s strategies again.”. True repentance is a willingness to CHANGE. Without a willingness to change, true repentance is nullified—it is simply “words” and not “from the heart”. 2 Cor 7:9-10
Make no mistake; Jesus warned us Matt 24, there would be many false prophets preaching false things such as it’s ok to murder your baby; it’s ok to be entwined with sexual perversity; it’s ok to redefine Gods plan for marriage between one man and one woman; it’s ok to change your biological God-ordained gender; it’s ok to be involved in occult/witchcraft/new age spiritualism, hinduism, buddism, etc., and His warning is stern and meant for every age; but especially for “end times”, because the wicked powers know their time is short, so they are going after men’s souls with a vengeance. Be wise. Be discerning. True love is not making excuses for someones sin as you watch them draw closer and closer to the pit of hell; from which once they descend into, there is NO RETURN… Gal 5:19-21. Rev 22:12-16.
True love is declaring what Jesus declared—that freedom FROM SIN is available THROUGH HIM. You see, the devil is spreading the lie that if we speak God’s truth, then we “are haters of men”. Actually, those who don’t speak God’s truths are the haters—they care not that a precious soul is being directed by satan to an eternal resurrection of torment and death in hell and eternity in the Lake of Fire, which burns with continual torment—who would desire such a fate for anyone??? I shudder at this profound realization; that many POWERFUL MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD HESITATE TO SPEAK GODS TRUTHS by the devils lie of “don’t offend”. The true offense is to see a soul perishing and headed to hell, and not relay Truth. This “do not offend” is a demonic strategy meant to STOP them: to speak God’s truth in an attempt to draw one to the Truth is “hate”?? No, quite the opposite!! The real offense is to watch a soul perish while NOT revealing Gods Salvation through Christ Jesus! Speak Gods truth with love—a love such as Christ portrays; not “allowance” OF sin—BUT FREEDOM FROM IT THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. The road is narrow and few will willingly follow it. But those who do will obtain Eternal Life with Him. Amen. I rest my case by The Word of God and The Spirit of God which abides in me and leads me. Glory to God forever!!! and COME, LORD JESUS, in Glory, Splendor, and Power, for your Bride is readying Herself for your soon return!!!
