I lament, not for the Bride for she is being purified, but for all who claim to be a part of Christ (Christianity) and yet do not know Him, strangers they remain. This causes me much pain. Their deception is great, oh what will it take their hardened hearts to break? The Religious spirit - Satan's own prevents the Holy Spirit from being known. They produce rotten fruit. They are unable to love Truth, unable to reproduce what God desires to be born. Satan's armor is pride and on them it's well-worn. So many claim to be followers of Christ but they're full of pride and they aren't very nice. Very few Pastors I've met to Christ are subject.... Their prideful hearts and carnal minds resist Him time after time after time. They love to be seen and heard. The demand respect they haven't earned. They are the Pharisees of today - stay far away from them, and do not listen to what they say.... Seek out they who walk in the Spirit of our God who is Holy and to them take heed and submit to them only..... Satan's strategy is to try to get us to forget what we should remember and remember what we should forget. He wants to sit on the throne of our hearts but his strategy is not to exalt himself but rather get us to exalt ourselves...he wants us commit the same original sin he did, that is, exalt ourselves above God, in essence replacing God on the throne of our hearts with US..with self....
