This is why Parents should pray for their children, and Born-again believers should have a prayer life.

'Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you' 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (KJV)

Prayer is one thing that never changes no matter where you go in your walk with the Lord.

When Parents turn away from the Lord and do not pray for their children, it is the root cause for generational curses (although not everything is a generational curse, as we see in John 9:1-12).

'He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad' Matthew 12:30 (KJV)

'Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments' Exodus 20:5-6 (KJV)

'Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty' Job 21:7-20 (KJV)

'There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:

The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.

He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.

He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light' Job 28:7-11. (KJV)

Fowls, vulture's, lion's whelps are metaphors for demons. The fierce lion is the devil, Satan. Even they do not know the secret place of prayer with God.

Pray and meditate on these verses for yourself and see what the Lord reveals to you, in Jesus name.

Have you ever been to a dead Church service, dead worship service, or dead worship gathering?

Some carnal Christians are energy suckers, they poison the atmosphere. Their presence of spiritual apathy, prayerlessness, and the demons they refuse to leave behind do not help prepare a proper habitation for the Lord's worship.

If we want to worship the Father in Spirit and Truth (not forbidding worship in spiritual prayer languages and praying in tongues), we should not be hidingunconfessed sin or hidden things that would hinder others from receiving from the Lord.

If this is the case, we should not even bother coming to a worship service or a worship gathering, it is not the loving thing to do. It is not loving to suck all the energy out of the room.

Churches must prepare the right atmosphere (music, spiritual fervour, etc...) or Jesus will not enter, and His glory angels do not show where people's presence suck the energy out of the atmosphere.

;) (I'm not joking).

'The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him' Exodus 15:2 (KJV)

'“Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree [that is, are of one mind, in harmony] about anything that they ask [within the will of God], it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in My name [meeting together as My followers], I am there among them.” Matthew 18:19-20 (AMP)

'Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing' Matthew 5:21-16 (KJV)

'Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come' 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 (KJV)

The Apostle Paul addresses A LOT here. It appears that when we don't venerate Eucharist (the Lord's Supper) we eat and drink judgement on ourselves.

There is healing power in the veneration of Eucharist, in any organized Church setting. It looks like there is a judgement by eating and drinking 'unworthily'...which throws a wrench in some of the more liberal Christian theologies (like the heresies Paul mentioned were actually the root cause, see 2 Peter 2).

Paul (Holy Spirit) says that the Carnal Church of Corinth drank judgement on themselves when they didn't discern the Lord's body (drunkenness, heresies, revelry, divisions and no self-control). It also says they were 'chastened by the Lord' so it doesn't appear to be the work of Satan...Paul says when they came together every work of evil was plainly manifest (no shame, no love for others).

Sharing a very impromptu (I did pray before I did this) teaching on Jude, sobering Bible passage. I'll just leave it here...for anyone who wants to watch, in Jesus name.

(Isaiah 11:2 Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord).

I have found most internationally famous ministers don't like to teach on the 'hard areas' of the Word so I thought I would fulfil the duty of my office to share some insight into this powerful little book per Galatians 6:6.

Some people just don't understand the Father's time. What makes God tick, what did Christ reveal? This is what I live for. To KNOW the inner-most workings of the Father. I wonder if Christ will find THIS KIND of agape love and faith (demonstrated in the video) when He returns.

'Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you' Luke 6:38

'Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be praised by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward.

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you' Matthew 6:1-4

'At Joppa there was A CERTAIN DISCIPLE named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman WAS FULL of GOOD WORKS and CHARITABLE DEEDS which SHE DID. But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord. So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with Simon, a tanner.' Acts 9:36-43 (NKJV)

Tabitha wasn't a miracle-working spiritual superhero who discipled and baptized thousands of people...yet Scripture says she was a disciple, whom the Holy Spirit saw fit to raise from the dead. How does God judge the value of a believers walk of faith? How are the believer's heart and life evaluated??
1f914.png


Are disciples just mindless robots who must conform everyone to the exact same doctrine, lifestyle, and pattern/paradigm of thinking? No. There is both diversity and unity in the Body of Christ. Many parts and one body united in the love found IN Christ. There is a solid Christo-centric doctrinal foundation but the Kingdom of God is very, very large.

Wow. The disciple's personal freedom is primarily limited by weak consciences (out of REVERENCE and LOVE for CHRIST). This means I can't do things I want to do if it would be a stumbling block to those with weak consciences (Carnal Christians). Some hypothetical (or not) examples...

1. I don't drink alcohol because maybe a brother or sister around me is trying to break free from an alcohol addiction (I don't drink anyway because to me it is sin).

2. I don't dress provocatively or immodestly, maybe a brother or sister around me is trying to break free from a inappropriate contentography addiction, an unhealthy need for a relationship, or lust. It's also pretty evil to play with people's feelings if you ask me...especially in willful ignorance. They need Christ.

3. I don't act or project overly flirtatious sentiments or gestures with the opposite sex or with someone who is married because maybe surrounding weak consciences would assume I have a romantic interest or impure feelings for them (when I really don't...because most Carnal Christians assume that anyone young...this is all they think about
1f644.png
).

4. I don't get tattoos (I don't get them anyway because to me it is sin) because maybe a brother or sister would refuse to listen to me because of my 'appearance of evil' 1 Thessalonians 5:22. (Carnal Christians judge by appearance).

5. I don't smoke or do drugs (I definitely don't do this anyway, it is most definitely sin) because maybe a brother or sister is trying to break free from a substance addiction.

6. I don't cuss/curse or take God's name in vain (I don't anyway because to me it is sin) because maybe a brother or sister is trying to stop cursing/cussing or taking God's name in vain.

Yep, every time I make the conscious (unconscious?) decision to violate a brother or sisters conscience or be a stumbling block that encourages them to fall into sin...I sin against Christ. (Matthew 18:1-14 - Jesus).

'We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me' Romans 15:1-3

'And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble' 1 Corinthians 8:11-13 (also read the context, it's talking about idols but it is also metaphorical).

Side note: I now find ham/pork/bacon repulsive because I abstained in order to understand the Torah extremists/'Black Hebrew Israelites' better, out of love...it's actually really funny...it's now sin (to me). They thought I was going to hell if I eat this 'unclean food' so I abstained to soothe their weak consciences, it's also healthier for my Temple (body) praise the Lord.

“Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy. The more joy you have in the Lord the less entertainment you need.”

― Leonard Ravenhill

The reason “Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy” is this:

You will not always have entertainment for gladness of heart but you will always have joy in the Lord (if you're doing His will, abiding in Christ).

Entertainment is only a temporal cover-up. It is a counterfeit. Counterfeits always come from the devil. Entertainment is only here for a little while and it comes and goes based on your circumstances or events.

If every source of your entertainment was taken away (phones, internet access, work, computers, movies, memes, friends, family, social media, social gatherings, transportation, programs, books, magazines etc..).

Everything you like to do for fun or everything that makes life easier...if you woke up one day and none of it mattered or none of it was here or in your control, would you still find a sincere, lasting happiness? There's a sobering question.

The Joy of the Lord is based on the promises of His Word and having a sincere relationship with the Father. It does not come and go based on doing things you like to do. It's eternal.

If you've ever read the book of Job, Ecclesiastes, or Jeremiah...you would have a better understanding of what Leonard Ravenhill is saying in His quote:

“Entertainment is the devil's substitute for joy. The more joy you have in the Lord the less entertainment you need.”

I digress.

We are instructed to be 'sober-minded' or have a 'sound mind' (1 Peter 5:8-9, 2 Timothy 1:7). Feelings and emotions can very easily sway how we act or speak. In our giddiness, maybe we do some things we look back on and wonder 'why did I do that?'

Fasting.This is the reason you fast. You fast because it clears your mind and helps you to focus on God's realities and purposes rather than your own. It sobers your mind to see more clearly. In THIS sense, it increases your faith because it helps clear away the distractions of life.

Distractions like entertainment. Distractions like circumstances and unnecessary feelings or emotions. Distractions like the frivolity of people around you who are not focused on the Lord's will, but rather focused on pleasing themselves (socializing etc...)

Distractions like an entire room of sick and dying people and wondering or questioning if you have 'enough faith' to heal them (giving in to the lie). It can be hard to have a measure of faith in that kind of atmosphere. Yes, yes it can.

Jesus says something very interesting about the evil spirit that His 9 disciples could not cast out.

'And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer AND FASTING' Mark 9:29 (KJV)

Note this: He had only allowed Peter, James, and John to go with Him to the Mount of Transfiguration. (Mark 9:1-28). Jesus seemed to consistently favour those 3 and never apologized for it. Ask yourself, why would Jesus do that?

'But the believers who were scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went. Philip, for example, went to the city of Samaria and told the people there about the Messiah. Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did.

Many evil spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their victims. And many who had been paralyzed or lame were healed. So there was great joy in that city' Acts 8:4-8 (NLT)

Casting out demons/evil spirits. On...'Giving too much attention to the devil'

Whether you cast out a demon peacefully and quietly (without attracting attention) or loudly rebuke it and it comes out...all that matter is that it comes out completely.

Some young (in the faith) ministers go around criticising every video of someone loudly casting out devils...while they've never done it themselves (this used to be me). They're likely parroting their favourite 'man of God' and what He told them about deliverance (who knows if they've actually cast out a demon).

The volume of your voice and the attention matters far less than whether or not the person was completely freed and if it was done in a spirit of love.

Someone prayed quietly and the person wasn't really set free...that 'peaceful and quiet' prayer done to 'not give the devil attention' was in vain. It did not set the person free, it is religious and they weren't allowing the Holy Spirit to lead.

If you are rebuking the demon loudly and it actually manifests and comes out in a practical way that is clearly visible to the onlookers, it is a deliverance and the Holy Spirit must have been leading (Matthew 12:28). Praise the Lord.

Jesus cast out the demon legion (principality) after some intentional talking to the demon to ask His name. Jesus talked to the demon ('gave it attention')...and it ended up freeing the man who was in bondage. Mark 5:1-20

Jesus also sharply, quickly, and loudly rebuked another demon after it had openly mocked Him (likely a Jezebel).

'Then He went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath He began to teach the people. They were astonished at His teaching, because His message had authority.

In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out in a loud voice, “Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are, the Holy One of God!”

But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him.

All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” And the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region' Luke 4:31-37 (ESV)

Lastly, in Acts 8:4-8...deliverance by the Apostles was not a quiet and peaceful occurrence according to the Scriptures.

Was the person set free? That's the real question. Not...'was it done the right way'
1f644.png


My point is, don't listen to just anyone putting God in their little religious box of how things 'ought to go'...especially if they are just repeating what their favourite minister has told them. Don't quench the Holy Spirit.

Come, Lord Jesus.

'Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise from the ends of the earth,
You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!

Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice,
The villages that Kedar inhabits.
Let the inhabitants of Sela sing,
Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Let them give glory to the Lord,
And declare His praise in the coastlands.

The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man;
He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies.

“I have held My peace a long time,
I have been still and restrained Myself.
Now I will cry like a woman in labor,
I will pant and gasp at once.

I will lay waste the mountains and hills,
And dry up all their vegetation;
I will make the rivers coastlands,
And I will dry up the pools.

I will bring the blind by a way they did not know;
I will lead them in paths they have not known.
I will make darkness light before them,
And crooked places straight.
These things I will do for them,
And not forsake them.

They shall be turned back,
They shall be greatly ashamed,
Who trust in carved images,
Who say to the molded images,
‘You are our gods.’' Isaiah 42:10-17 (NKJV)

Too much Technology can make anyone become socially dysfunctional and cliquish. Clique - a small group of people, with shared interests or other features in common, who spend time together and do not readily allow others to join them.

Hey. You don't need 'manifestation' to have a demon. (Part 1).

If someone is 'manifesting' on their own, without someone having initiated a deliverance....that's a problem.

Involuntary manifestation is a sign of a much larger underlying issue. It means something has progressed to an advanced stage and no one in Church leadership has been able to see the signs of it.

Christians should not have to be so perplexed and embarrassed out of nowhere when they manifest something they've been told they can never have.

Christians can have demons. Ok. Period. It is possible.

The Churches attempt to quell 'fear' 'guilt' 'shame' 'condemnation'...it has actually done SO MUCH to introduce exactly what it is trying to oppose.

How does it do that?

Ignorance. Ignorance introduces 'fear' guilt' 'shame' 'condemnation' more than any preaching about eternal hellfire.

I guarantee you this truth.

I'm slightly annoyed to watch so many young Christians go on mission trips to other countries, to supernatural schools of ministry, to schools of mysticism...and come back with a spirit of arrogance.

To come back with demons.

Hey, we can stop this ignorance by not compromising God's Word to appease weak consciences that are desperately in need of Godly sorrow and repentance to submit to God.

This ignorance is their chains. It is a bondage.

Preach the Word of God in the sincerity of Truth. It is the only spiritual authority that matters in heaven and on the earth.

Teachers innovating new methods and styles of teaching that sacrifice clarity and knowledge to quell 'fear'...it can be a demon in and of itself.

The demon of innovation. It is a spirit of delusion. It will be fine for a time. However...the Bible says...

'But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way' Matthew 13:25 (KJV).

This is not to make anyone 'devil-conscious'...do not be afraid.

We need to abide in Christ...or yes.

Christians can have demons. Ok. Baptized. Or not Baptized.

Christians who do not abide in Christ, they are like the withered branch that is thrown away. Maybe thrown to the demons (John 15:1-6).

Don't water down the Gospel so much....you become part of the problem...please.

Hey. You don't need 'manifestation' to have a demon. (Part 2)

Disclaimer: My goal is to educate on topics that no one talks about...not to make anyone 'devil-conscious'...knowledge is the power that makes fear vanish away.

You would be surprised at the demons that believers struggle with. In the secret place.

How do Baptized and born-again Christians get demons? Why are they manifesting them in the Church? 2 Primary reasons.

1. Unconfessed sin from a Perverted grace message. (1 John 1:9, Proverbs 28:11-15, James 5:16).

The primary reason Christians end up unexpectedly manifesting demons...is an unconfessed sin that's been allowed to fester. Confess your sin (addictions) to God (or to a trusted brother or sister in the Lord).

Some sins require confession to a brother or sister in the Lord...God has it set up like this. You won't always have someone around who can prophetically speak an accurate word to something you are secretly struggling with (speak a solution).

Be amazed at the freedom that comes with repentant confession. It will quiet your conscience and allow God to minister His love to you, healing you and setting you free from the bondage of sin (Acts 3:19-20).

2. Devil worship (1 Corinthians 10:14-22, Leviticus 10:1-3).

Yes, I actually have to list this one because 'Devil worship' is more than just playing with a ouija board. A short example list of devil worship...

Killing animals/animal sacrifice.

Drug addictions (also prescription medications).

inappropriate contentography addictions.

Infidelity.

Fornication.

Witchcraft.

Most any form of esoteric/gnostic occultic practices.

You can even invite demons by participating in pagan Holidays rooted in the occult (Easter/Halloween).

Tattoos and cutting marks in your flesh for dead relatives. Soul ties to dead relatives/familiar spirits...etc.

Offering strange fire before the Lord. Worship and spiritual practices that dishonor God. I've seen it in some Churches. Secular music...unholy convocations....etc. If the people are writhing in pain on the floor...it's not a good thing happening at that Church.

We're just discussing tips on how to have an unbroken fellowship with the Lord. Spirit-filled Christians who don't have to be led astray by the ignorance of mainstream Christianity.

Deliverance is the Children's bread. (Matthew 15:21-28).

Unbelievers are by nature, children of wrath (Ephesians 2:1-3, 1 John 3). Their nature is fallen until they repent, and become baptized into a relationship with God by being reconciled through Christ.

Unbelievers typically do not manifest or experience demons in the same tangible and obvious way as born-again believers who have wandered far away from God.

You get deceived along the way. It's ok. The world is filled with deception, false realities, and false identities.

Not everyone teaching knows what they are talking about. Ok. No offense...choose wisely.

If you are a Spirit-filled follower of Jesus Christ, you should be able to tangibly feel and sense God's presence on another Spirit-filled follower of Jesus Christ. I'm talking about 'The real meal deal' with a profitable aura of the Holy Spirit's presence. They are just oozing Jesus Christ ALL THE TIME.

It is only the undiscerning, deceived, or immature self-professing believers who cannot distinguish good and evil by their sensibilities according to Hebrews 5:14.

Seek mature communion with like-minded believers. We cannot afford to be getting duller and duller by hanging around people who sincerely do not want to progress.

The thing about not progressing is you can have hundreds or even thousands of self-professing Christians who are oblivious to Jesus Christ's presence and what He actually looks like in a believer's life. This means you can have crowds of largely deluded Church leaders who lead their flocks to also become largely deluded and desensitized to Christ's authentic manifest presence in His followers.

'Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch' Matthew 15:14

It is a sad thing when believers are just all lumped together by 'DNA'...but the reality is this: Not everyone professing to be God's child, is God's child according to 1 John 3. Study your word and learn God's Truth.

'Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT, that we may have BOLDNESS in the DAY of JUDGEMENT: because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE in THIS WORLD' 1 John 4:17.

BOLDNESS in the day of judgement. We are exactly like our Father in heaven. Christian circles that still habitually struggle with 'fear' 'condemnation' 'guilt' 'shame'...even though they get freed week after week in the Charismatic Church buildings (assuming there's a basic level of God's presence there)....these believers are not mature in Spirit.

God the Father. The Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ Messiah. He is not afraid of Himself! He should be able to see Himself (His seed) in the believer!

The only reason self-professing Christians are afraid/offended/ angry at God's Word and the conviction of His truth is because they do not actively live it or have a desire to take delight in it. It is their demons who do not like the Truth of the Word.

You can do all the right things and still be motivated out of 'dread'. It is not a relationship if the obedience is out of 'dread'. This means someone is still under the Law and they're merely being restrained by His Word, not actually taking delight in it because their lifestyle remains filled with a love for carnal (sinful) pleasures. They are only NOT DOING these sinful things (things they really still want to do) because the Bible tells them not to.

The reason why believers do not know what the Biblical Jesus looks like is that there are so many imposters who are just play-acting His nature on specific Church occasions...

The rest of the week they are partying, drinking, doing drugs, cursing, fornicating, gossiping, backbiting, playing favourites with certain people who share similar (carnal) interests, getting offended over trivial things...habitually because they really don't care. They can't tell who to follow or believe because there are so many counterfeits and they themselves are part of them.

Someone can act like a saint...'kind', 'loving', 'gentle', 'joy-filled', 'peaceful'....and still be a Father-liar who leads people away from the TRUTH of the WORD regarding their salvation and life more abundant in Jesus Christ.

God is CLEANING HOUSE by the POWER of His Holy Spirit. We need to be operating in our God-gifted discernment, and not be ashamed of the TRUTH.

'For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels' Luke 9:26 (KJV)

'Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator' 1 Peter 4:12-18 (KJV)
