Three Unclean Spirits

Three unclean spirits have been released into this world. John the revelator is writing as he sees the vision. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

The three unclean spirits in this world are religious, they are causing trouble and distress to nations and around these spirits wars take place.

In the book of I Timothy Chapter 4 and verse number 1, Paul is speaking to Timothy and he said, Now the Spirit, that’s the Holy Spirit, speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. There’s a lying spirit in the land. There is a lying spirit in the land, and this lying spirit is convincing people to depart from the faith that was given to the early Apostles, and that faith is summed up in I Timothy 3:16, without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh. And what that, and, and, the other five truths involved in that verse, what Paul is saying is that there’s a lying spirit in the land, a deceiving spirit, and it’s against Jesus Christ, in denying His Deity.

What is the antichrist spirit? In I John Chapter 4 verse 1, he says, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: But every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should appear, or come, and even already is now in the world.

When a spirit denies the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ that is the antichrist spirit. In I Timothy, Chapter 4, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils, Speaking lies in hypocrisy. Now what religions have denied or are still denying the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Enemies of the Church

What are the enemies of the Body of Christ? Beginning in Revelation 3:14 we read, And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Based upon verse 17 what would you say are the enemies of the Body of Christ? Now, we take it that these churches consisted of Christians, born again people, but at this stage in their existence of the Laodicean Church, they became lukewarm. They weren’t hot, they weren’t cold. They were lukewarm, and it was something that was obnoxious to the taste of the Almighty God. He said, I will spue thee out of my mouth, because you have taken the attitude, because thou sayest, I am rich, I’m increased with goods, I have need of nothing. But there’s some things that you do not know. You’re wretched, you’re miserable, you’re poor, you’re blind, you’re naked. What are the enemies of the Church?

Materialism, Ignorance, and Uncleanness

Hiding in a shell

The world in which we live is filled with fear and confusion. The conditions of the world today are equivalent to the days before the flood. We read in Genesis 6:11, The earth also was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence.

The modern institutionalized church has split up into denominations and even different doctrines within those denominations. The church has drifted away from the simplicity of the Gospel. The modern institutionalized denominational church seems to be involved in building and maintaining a great empire for themselves. Just like the federal government, the church denominations are maintaining a top-heavy leadership to control the organization. The church world has slipped into an entertainment mode, much like the old Roman Empire with the mentality of circus and bread. Keep the people occupied and entertained to keep them in church and maintain the control.

In times of trouble, the Lord wants us to have peace. Genuine peace for a child of Gos is not the absence of trouble, but it is the presence of God. There is our peace.

Battle Hymn

We all have hymnals filled with wonderful songs and hymns. In Ephesians Chapter 5 verses 18 and 19 we read, And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

In most hymn books across this country, there is a song that should not be there - The Battle Hymn of the Republic. We take a look at the history of this song and why it does not belong in the category of Christian hymnology. It should not be included in our hymnbooks.

Now, the war had begun, the war that we called the Civil War, which was not really a civil war. It was a war between the states, because thirteen states had officially pulled out. They were not trying to take over the government in Washington, it was a separate country, separate cabinet, separate President, separate capitol city, and separate armies, so they were fighting one another as two separate countries.

But there was a woman, the wife of Samuel Gridley Howe, the medical doctor, and Mr. Howe was a, a rich man, and he met these three sisters, and they were the Ward sisters. They were intelligent. They all had a lot of money from New York and he fell in love with Julia.

Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus? It's imperative that we understand who Jesus is. This has been a hot debate for years in the Church, in the historical Church, the traditional Church, going all the way back to when they began to formulate doctrine. Who is the Father, who is the Son, and who is the Holy Spirit? Are they three in one, one in three, are they separate persons, or is there just one God and three manifestations, of one God?

There are the six things that Paul tells Timothy is the mystery of godliness, number one, God was manifest in the flesh. That is the very foundational truth of Christianity. It identifies who Jesus is. It identifies who Jesus was, when He was in the flesh. God manifested in the flesh. Number two, He was justified in the Spirit. This means to show or to prove His divine nature, or proof of His Sonship. The Spirit of God, in several different manifestations, while Jesus was on this earth, proved the Sonship of Jesus Christ, in other words, proved that He was God. Now the third one is, He was seen of angels. The fourth one, He preached unto the Gentiles, or the nations. Number five, He was believed on in the world, and number six, He was received up into glory. It says that the disciples saw Him ascend, and then there were two witnesses there that said, ye men of Galilee, why are you so amazed? Because He shall come in like manner as you have seen Him go away.

New Religion

Do you know that America has a new religion? Secular Humanism is trying to take over everything, including the church house. We need to understand that God is sovereign over all areas of our life. He is the creator by right of creation. He has the right of authority to tell man how to live. Especially in one major area of our life involving the education of our children. Education is not only important for each individual, but it's important for the building of society and the perpetuation of civilization. There are changes being made to perpetuate a secular society and preparing them to be good citizens.

The question before us now is, who is educating America and what are they teaching? The role of education was given to parents and Biblical authority. Over time people have usurped that Biblical parental authority and they have created their own educational system. The system as a whole is anti-Christian, anti-Biblical, and it is designed to rob us of our heritage of Biblical Christianity and teach something else in its place. The government is educating our children so now the question becomes what are they teaching them?
