False Faiths and Beliefs

What is the proof that although there are weapons made by enemies against the children of God they are not affected? Let us read the testimony of Paul in 2 Timothy 4:16-18:

“At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”

I was saved from the mouth of the lion. Who is that lion? The lion which is roaring and wandering, none other than satan. In 1 Peter 5:8 it said:

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour;”

Paul said that he was saved from every works of the devil. So nothing affected Apostle Paul.

The devices of the devil and devices of the spirit world become futile against the spirit of Christianity. But the early Christians were hit by sword, nail, they are pierced. They were pierced by stung, hit by stone, but they were not affected by the devices of devil. Those did not affect the servants of God in the olden days.

So if you use the verse just to say that you will not be affected by armalite, you are misleading people with that. Why am I saying this? Is it because I am injuring your reputation? My concern is the person you will mislead. I will never injure your reputation. Why will I injure your reputation? I just would like to save my fellow Filipinos from your fooling them. Your foolishness will be discovered anyway. This starts already. The Filipinos will understand that the promise of God is not literal that no weapon will pierce you. Why? That is the weapon of the enemy, the devil, his weapon, his evilness—you will not be pierced by it if you are a servant of God even if you are enchanted by 50 sorcerers, you will not be affected by it.

If you are a servant of God, will it affect you? As St. John said, let us read why it will not pierce … I John 4:4:

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”

Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Who is he that is in you, to the Christians?

Let us read who is He with the Christians who is greater than that is in the world (Mat. 28:20):

“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

What is the promise of Christ if you follow the law? “I am with you even up to the consummation of the ages. Christ is greater than the demons. So will the weapons of evil win against Christians? Whatever defamation you do, whatever evil words you say to someone in Christ, accused them of various lies, Christ said you are lucky, if you are told of all manner of evil for my sake. (Matthew 5:11)

“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.”

That is the meaning of that. That is spiritual weapon. Because the word of the tongue is also like a weapon, right? It is in the Bible that their tongue is like piercing of swords (Proverbs 12:18), it is like dueling with swords. That is why the preachers of the devil when he speaks, wrong things are said. But if you are a preacher of God and you believe the Bible and God, well, whatever they say will not affect you.

With God’s mercy, their weapons have not pierced me yet. None of their weapons have pierced. There are legal cases made against me, the enemies of our faith. But until now with God’s mercy none has pierced yet.

I may be jailed. If the judge will believe, right? Like Christ. He was sued. Pilate was forced. Judged. Like John the Baptist. Herod’s daughter danced. Herod was really fascinated. Herod said go ahead, wish for anything even half of my kingdom, I will give to you. I promise that whatever you wish for I will give you. She asked her mother what she will wish for. Because Herodias is mad at John the Baptist for his attacking her because Herodias is a concubine, she told her daughter to ask for the head of John the Baptist. That is what was wished. Was he pierced? Pierced.

But the evil devices used by the evil spirit, will never pierce. To whom? To the servant of God. The servants of God are not touched by evil.

That is what we have to understand. The meaning of that is spiritual. If you will give material meaning, it will come out wrong. Christ was pierced. John the Baptist was pierced. Stephen was pierced by just stones. Will Stephen not be pierced by armalite?

There are those who are saying that he will not be pierced by an armalite. Think, you will not be pierced by an armalite? Drinking medicine is said to be forbidden because it is for non-believers. But his wife has false teeth. Will think how can you have false teeth? You have the dentist do it. How was your teeth extracted? Don’t tell me medicine was not used in you? You were injected with anesthesia?

You are just fooling many people. Fooling with your false testimonies. So if you are joining a church, choose the one that speaks of sensibility, one that is credibly basing on the Bible and knowledge and not based on anywhere.
