Who doesn’t enjoy a good sauce with his food? People have become so used to the sauce, that they can’t live without the sauce. There’s nothing exciting about food without the sauce. It doesn’t matter what you eat or if the food is well prepared or not, if the sauce is good the food is good. The sauce adds flavor and determines the quality and overall taste of the dish. This is also seen in Christianity. Christians love pouring a Christian sauce over the things of this world. Це не має значення, whether something is good or evil according to the Bible, they just pour a Christian sauce over the things of this world and make it approved. And so they Christianize the things of this world to make them approved and acceptable for Christians. But people can Christianize whatever they want, but does that make a difference to God?
The love for the world
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever (1 Джон 2:15-17)
Many Christians still love the world and enjoy the things of the world. Because of their love for the world, they don’t want to remove the things of the world, which derive from the kingdom of darkness. Ні, they want to hold on to the things of the world and live the same lives as those, які належать світу.
Instead of bringing forth fruits that meet their каяття and walking in holiness, which means to be set apart from the world and dedicated unto God, і робити те, що Він каже, і die to their flesh and remove the things of this world from their lives, they copy the things of the world and pour a Christian sauce over it. Because the Christian sauce is supposed to make everything approved and acceptable.
The Christian sauce makes everything acceptable
They want to do everything they see the world do, including all the Розваги of the world. And to ease their mind and conscience, they have found a way to do that, which is to put the word ‘Christian’ in front of it. Because by using the Word ‘Christian’ and Christianizing it, it is acceptable for Christians to do.
Many believers are no longer innovators of God but have become imitators of the world. They copy all the things of the world and Christianize them and make them their own.
Наприклад, християнський Лікарі, християнський Психологи and psychiatrists, християнський acupuncturists, християнський Reiki practitioners, християнський massage therapists, християнський martial arts, християнський йога, Christian healing bracelets, Christian prayer bracelets, Christian astrology, християнський Halloween, християнський tattoos, Christian tattoo shops, Christian dating sites, християнський gay associations, Christian Romans/Phantasy and Science fiction, Christian talent shows, Christian dance competitions, Christian comedians, Christians magicians/illusionists (gospel magicians), Christian tarot cards, християнський (діти) theater, Christian music concerts, Christian festivals, християнський (music) awards, Christian actors, Christian amusement parks, Christian Djs, Christian bars, Christian nightclubs, Christian……(fill out yourself).
All these things are copied and adapted from the world and are Christianized. All these things have in common, that they all derived from the wisdom and knowledge of the carnal man, through the influence of demonic spirits from the kingdom of darkness, and are meant for the soul and body of the carnal man. They act from the flesh with or without the use of natural methods and natural means, with the purpose to restore, making whole, fulfilling the lusts and desires, and entertaining the flesh (Читайте також: ‘Let me entertain you!‘).
It has nothing to do with the spiritual Нова людина and the source is not God and the Kingdom of Heaven, but the devil and the world; царство темряви.
Christians have found a way to keep their own lives
And so Christians have found a way to keep their own lives and won’t have to lay down their lives and live like the world, and that’s by pouring out the Christian sauce over the works of darkness. They have Christianized the works of darkness by putting the word ‘Christian’ in front of it. This way, they won’t have to die to self and put off the old carnal man but they can continue their lives as the old man. They live like the carnal old man and apply every now and then promises for the Нова людина and scriptures from the Bible to their lives.
The devil is more than willing to help the continuation of the old carnal man and shall give (temporary) загоєння, soulish manifestations that seem spiritual, success, fame, riches, and prosperity.
It is the devil’s ultimate pleasure to give people what they want andentertain them and respond to their feelings and emotions, as long as they live from his source.
Протягом багатьох років, the devil has succeeded in tempting many believers with his lies and making them believe that adopting the things of the world and Christianizing them, isn’t wrong at all.
The devil has even appeared to many Christians as an angel of light through dreams, Бачення, пророцтва, and thoughts in their mind and convinced them and made them believe that God approves the works of the devil, which are mentioned in the Bible as sin.
This way, the devil has led many into his trap and misled them through his lies, and has taken control of many lives.
Many Christians think they are free but instead, they are bound
They think that by Christianizing the things of this world and by doing them, they are free. Але насправді, they are not free at all! But they are bound through sin to the kingdom of darkness and live in rebellion to God in obedience to the devil.
They do the same works as the world and live the same lives and therefore, there is hardly any difference. Except they go to church once a week and read the Bible occasionally and pray short prayers (Читайте також: ‘Якщо християни живуть як світ, у чому світ повинен покаятися?).
Через те, що, that they live like the world, they experience the same things as the world and have the same problems. Many Christians are not joyful and happy anymore, but they are unsatisfied, pressed down, tired, and coping with depression. They have no мир but are worried, Депресії, fearful, and experiencing stress.
This is all because they belong to the world and/or sow in the flesh. Слово говорить, that if you sow in the flesh, you shall also reap from the flesh. When you do the things of this world, you shall also reap the things of this world.
The Christian sauce doesn’t change the works
You can Christianize the things of the world by putting the word ‘Christian’ in front of it, but you won’t change anything about the works and the source.
All the things of the world remain works, which derive from the knowledge and wisdom of the kingdom of the darkness.
If you want to keep doing the things of the world and live like the world, then why did you repent? From what have you repented?
If you want to keep doing the things of the world, then just do it, but don’t use the word ‘Christian’, and don’t Christianize it! Because by doing that, you defile His holy Name and mock Him. And that’s exactly what the devil wants.
Separated for God and His Kingdom
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness (Ефесян 4:17-19)
In the Old Covenant and in the New Covenant God commanded His people to separate themselves from the world and not to get involved and fellowship with the evil works of the world.
This doesn’t mean that you should start an isolated community, because God has placed His people on this earth.
God has placed His people on this earth to be a witness of Jesus Christ, walk in His dominion and preach and establish His Kingdom on this earth.
тому, your purpose is to walk in the dominion of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and to preach the truth and expose the lies of the devil. Так що, sinners become conscious of their sinful state, and by hearing the truth they can repent, get born again, and be saved and delivered from the kingdom of darkness and death.
God has ні put His people on the earth with the purpose of getting involved with the spirits of the world and being led by the worldly spirits and being a partaker of the things of the world; царство темряви.
Because how can you save sinners from the kingdom of darkness if you still walk after the flesh in the kingdom of darkness and be a partaker of her works and habitually live in sin? (Читайте також: ‘Якщо християни живуть, як світ, У чому світ має покаятися?)
Reprove the works of darkness
For you were sometimes darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, а радше докоряти їм. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light (Ефесян 5:8-13)
Christians should not adopt and Christianize the things of the world. They shouldn’t fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but they should walk as children of light and walk in the truth and reprove the works of darkness.
You can only reprove the lies and works of the world when you are born again and Одягніть нового чоловіка and walk after the Spirit in obedience to the Word. Because as long as you stay unspiritual, you shall walk in darkness and shall not be able to discern the works of darkness.
By faith in Jesus Christ and through регенерація, you have been transferred from the darkness into the light. Therefore you shall be able to reprove the works of darkness. The Word and the Holy Spirit shall help and guide you.
Let’s get serious with the Word of God and do what Jesus has commanded us to do and stop pouring out the Christian sauce over all the works of darkness. Let us remove the sins, which are the works of the flesh in obedience to the devil, and do righteousness, which are the works of the Spirit in obedience to God. So that we shall not defile His Name through our carnal works and lives, but that we shall exalt Jesus and glorify God through our lives after the Spirit.
