My children, seek not to hear words that tickle your ears and see things delightful to your senses. Do not be quick to open doors to spirits that are not of Me through your technology and the modern culture you reside in. The enemy has been very cunning in that as you have advanced in culture, science, technology, etc.., he has also manipulated these things to use for his own purposes. You must learn to be harmless as doves, yet wise as serpents.
You are seeing the fulfillment of My Holy Word, as they are crying come here, go there, for in doing this you will find Messiah. I tell you… these are lies!! False doctrines and lying signs and wonders are manifesting everywhere, just as My Word has warned. These things are happening now, they are upon you. And yet, the greatest deception of all time planned by the serpent has not yet been revealed. But already many of My own are falling away in great numbers, lured by the soul and the senses and not My Spirit.
I have warned you to know Me, Your Shepherd and My Voice which is discerned in My Word, as I Am The Word!
But, in your lack of discipline to take the necessary steps to know Me as I Am, you have sought familiar and deceiving spirits to give you what you long for, to fill the void in your hearts, even though My truth states that only I can fulfill you!
In My great love for you, I have warned you in My mercy to ask to know Me and My heart. Where do you find My instructions to seek after an experience or chase after those claiming manifestations and wonders in order to find Me?
I AM the Word
I AM Life
I AM the Manna upon which you must feed
I AM the Bread of Life
If you are feeding upon those things that are mixing spirits with My Truth, you will only be led to destruction. It is through your obedience in the sufferings of this life that you will find Me. Does My Word not teach this? Yet, wolves in sheep’s clothing proclaim a better way to finding Me. They encourage you to seek truth elsewhere, all based in experience and emotion, your soul nature, rather than teaching you that you will know Me by My Spirit. Spirit speaks to spirit, and scripture will always confirm and reveal more scripture. This is why I gave you My Word for instruction and wise counsel.
From the very beginning, Lucifer created his plan to counterfeit all that I Am and to deceive men into believing they could be wise, as I Am Wisdom. The fallen ones brought knowledge that was forbidden for men to have, and therefore, corruption entered My creation.
It would benefit you to have an understanding of how such deception was introduced by these enemies of My Kingdom, as they imparted hidden knowledge into all areas of your lives, such as medicine, science, plants and herbs, and their healings used in their sorceries, technology and advancements on a molecular level as well. Their schemes and their motives have been evil from the beginning. Now they have evolved your way of thinking, so that much of how you operate is accepted and embraced. This was the foundation laid to then introduce a ‘new way,’ an awakening of the inner man as they call it, to find your ‘higher selves’ and your higher purposes and destinies.
No longer is My Word and your private communion with Me enough. You are instructed to ‘transcend this dimension’ through means not ordained by Me. There are gateways and portals that have opened, but My people, not all is good, not all is of Me! Not all is profitable to you and will edify you, as only My pure Spirit and Truth will.
The beast system strives to mimic unity and oneness by proposing peace through merging all religions, doctrines, and beliefs systems into one, BUT this is a lie! They will do this using the terrible propaganda and wicked lies that have been perpetrated throughout your entire history. These anti-christ spirits have been laying their false truths and strategizing for this time of now, so when they deliver their biggest deception, sadly, most of those who profess Me will not know My Spirit from My counterfeit.
It is easy to recognize the obvious enemy, the one who is not disguised as light, who openly mocks and denies Me. But do you now recognize what has infiltrated literally every aspect of your lives and is disguised as being of Me? Do you know Me through My Word well enough to see how millions are now being ‘caught up’ in a wave of experiences and super-natural manifestations that do not bear witness of your Lord and Master, Yahushua Ha Mashiach crucified?
Where is the reverence to a Holy and Righteous God in these groups and gatherings? Where is holiness, godliness and repentance preached? Where is humility and forsaking all and contriteness something to be embraced? Where is poverty spoken of as those close to My Heart, rather than prosperity and elevation? Do you even hear My name spoken of and glorified? Or, do you hear, “I felt this, I saw that, I had this happen.” Count how many times My name is mentioned, then how many times those professing to know Me refer to self. The truth will become apparent. Do I not teach that I will come to all that seek Me? So, why do you look for Me through another?
Mortify your flesh and your senses before it is too late!! Yes, this is My admonishment to you who are involved in these practices, for I would rather have My day of reckoning with you now, in order for you to know truth and repent, than to have you lured away from Me into this false illusion of Me and be caught in the snare the enemy has set for you. I wish you to cease your involvement with sorceries and witchcraft and the seduction of the familiar spirits NOW! Many of you need to awaken to this and repent of this, for this is idolatry, and I hate idolatry and the implications there of.
The time is completely passed for Me to speak words of comfort when it comes to these things My children. Do not be deceived and do not be fooled! Do not be ignorant as to the times you are in beloved. Know what it is that you allow into your homes, your eyes, your ears. Know what it is that you have chosen to become a part of. This is your responsibility, and you will be held accountable. If your leaders, pastors, teachers are speaking words that do not completely line up with My Word, divorce yourselves! You cannot blindly follow practices and teachings that are not Mine, and then expect Me to endorse them.
Test every spirit! This means that spirit must profess Me crucified, My shed blood for the redemption of sins, My resurrection as being the only one that offers entrance into My Father’s Kingdom through My sacrifice and atonement for all sins. That spirit must proclaim that I alone AM Lord, Yahushua Ha Mashiach. There is no other way unto The Father but through Me!
You are in incredibly dangerous times children, and I do not wish that any of you is caught unaware. Heed those words. They are confirmed in scripture. You must know your enemy in order to understand the various ways he will lure you away. Study to show yourselves approved! It is only then that you will truly have truth within your hearts, and be prepared to stand for I tell you time is over.
I come now as The Judge with My Holy Fire and will punish the inhabitants of the earth who walk in unrighteousness and willful sin. I implore you, pay very close attention to what has been spoken here. There in is much to gain, but also, much to lose.
Yahushua Ha Mashiach

We need more of Billy Graham style preaching today. He didn’t mince words. He told you like it was, “turn or burn”, as the old saying goes. I was blessed to be able to work as an adult councelor at one of his crusades one summer. It was an unbelievable experience with many souls coming to the Lord. People need to hear the truth, the way Billy preached it.
Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
I have been feeling a strong urging to post here what I received during my morning meditation today. My meditation passage today was 2 Corinthians 6:1–2.
Each time I read the passage, I saw a vision of a huge army on a hillside. I felt like I was looking at a replay of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in the movie (not the book) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King where the Rohirrim arrive to defend the besieged city of Minas Tirith.
Then I heard the following words in my spirit: I have come to scatter the enemy and decree to you that today is the day of your salvation. Do not harden your heart.
I personally feel that this message is intended for those who while not blind to the looming darkness are trusting in their own flesh and strength to overcome the darkness and are proudly thinking (or hoping) that they won’t (or don’t) need the Lord’s offer of salvation. If this is you, then the Lord says, “I have come to scatter the enemy and decree to you that today is the day of your salvation. Do not harden your heart.”
Additionally, as I type this out, I see this parallel between what befell Denethor in the movie and what will befall those who are still trusting in their flesh. This is what I see:
If you trust in your flesh and your own strength, then when the darkness confronts you, fear will strike your heart, and madness will strike your mind, and you will fall like Denethor fell.
Please pray about what I have shared.
Blessings in Christ.

Hi Julie, this is very similar to some of the things that Trunews has been saying lately. Check out especially the episode “Will Virtual Reality Make Real Reality Obsolete?” dated 30 June 2017.
Please pray with me for baby Charlie Gard. Court will not let the baby leave the country for better health care. Google has full story.
I have had a strong prompting in recent days to ask for greater discernment and to pray for protection against deception. As you say in this post, the angels of light and their deceptions are far more subtle and clever these days and many do not recognize them. One thing that always sticks with me is that we MUST be lovers of TRUTH. Truth confronts and convicts and brings us to repentance and trains us in righteousness. It usually doesn’t feel ‘good’ while it is working its cleansing in our hearts. The Word speaks of those who did not love the Truth and therefore the Lord gave them over to their deceptions. That is a scary thought!!
Thanks Julie. I was part way through lesson 3: Through the Book of Enoch by Rabbi Trimm (YouTube). Then paused it, thinking I would see the latest post on z3. How funny the LORD is. Anyway what has struck me is what he has brought up about the Error of Baalam. Which is following the teaching of fallen angels. Jude 8-16. 2 Peter 2. Fallen angels are teachers of sorcery, divinations and enchantments. Baalam consulted them, as do others in a place called ‘mountains of the east’ according to rabbinical writings. After the fallen angels that descended on the summit of Mt Hermon (see Genesis 6; Enoch 6; anathema, devoted to destruction) were exiled to darkness, men that knew where they were sought them out and consulted them.
Jude 1:14-15 quotes the Book of 1 Enoch chapter 1:9.
7 fragments of Book of Enoch were found with Dead Sea scrolls. Predates Book of Jude. Book of Jasher contains info on Enoch’s life before he was translated.
Enoch 104:10-11. Predicts the renewal of lost books. One of my favourites is the book of the Wisdom of Solomon. As Psalm 119:45 says I will walk about in freedom (be secure, at liberty, at ease) because I have desired your commandments (for I seek your precepts).
Enoch 1:1. States the book was written for those that would be living in the tribulation. And in Enoch 108 it says the book is for those that will be Torah observant in the last days.
But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. James 1:25
And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children – all who keep God’s commandments and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. In Revelation 12.
For the LORD is restoring the fallen tents of David (e.g spoken of in Acts 15). I see that the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. In Acts 2. And we shall see those false prophets and teachers consumed out of the land….for the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land. And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hastening righteousness. In Isaiah 16.
For in Ephesians 1 it is written that when the times will have reached their fulfillment, the LORD God will bring everything together under the authority of Christ – everything in heaven and on earth.
Also reading the Aramaic bible in plain English to understand Romans 13 better which will become more evident in practice as the Kingdom is established.
Let every soul be subject to the authority of the great, for there is no authority that is not from the same God, and those authorities who are from God are under orders. Whoever stands against the decrees of God, and these who stand against them shall receive judgement…for he is the Minister of God and a furious avenger to those who do evil.
Anyway, I recommend Rabbi Trimm’s teaching on the Book of Enoch.
Yes, Jane NZ, I have seen a video also of how King James was able to ‘tweak’ his version of the Bible with his guidelines that he allowed the translators to follow. Here’s a video (https://biblevisionintl.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/the-real-meaning-of-romans-13/) explaining and a teaching on it.
For example, the King James Version uses, ‘higher powers’ in verse one, which literally is saying, ‘ higher exousia(gk. – power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases)’ and what or who is the One who is higher to choose to obey than the King of kings?
Hey Thomas, thanks so much for sharing that with me. I also appreciate the vision you shared. Fight back against the spiritual attack that followed sharing. You were absolutely spot on. Interesting, the link you shared. I haven’t looked at it yet but I will cos I was writing some notes to share with you.
John Wesley asked his mum for her take on sin. She replied: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, takes off your relish for spiritual things, whatever increases the authority of the body over the mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may seem in itself.
Thank goodness for this: for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do his good pleasure. Phillipians 2:13.
As Paul says: if you are governed by anything else, God will reveal it to you ( referring to anything apart from knowing Yahushua and the power of his resurrection, sharing in his sufferings and being conformed with his death)…for he will transform the body of our humiliation into the image of his glorious body, according to his great power by which everything has been made subject to him. In Phillipians 3.
Which is such good news that as we yield to Christ’s authority he is faithful and committed to sorting us out. I enjoy an alcoholic drink on occasion. I don’t think I am governed by it.
When I look into your holiness
When I gaze into your loveliness
When all things that surround me
Become shadows in the light of you
I worship you LORD
I worship you
Oh God
The reason I live
Is to worship you
So as I understand it, as we worship we are transformed by the Holy Spirit into being more like Yahushua. Perhaps the glass of wine will go, perhaps it will stay. Up to you LORD.
Amein(I don’t like the word ‘amen’ after finding out what it’s definition is), JaneNZ, that quote from wesleys mum has got to be the best ‘workable’ definition of sin I’ve ever read!!! Seriously, that spells it out, body, soul, and spirit.
What I do is, I quit using anything for a period of time, weeks or months, such as, coffee, sugar, anything and everything so that nothing of this flesh, earthly existence can create an(other) stronghold in me!?! I was overcome by seemingly, innocent things at first, in the past, and the ministries/pastors/groups/churches I was trusting in to watch over my spiritual development either did not care or, many times, actively or covertly, encouraged me along that path of (what I only found out much later was sin)…….. and it was not just physical things like caffeine but being lax in spiritual things and hidden sins were winked at and encouraged even….
Also, I like that you said, ‘wine maybe it will come, maybe go’. That’s my attitude also and a great perspective on life. HE Though, abides FOREVER and that’s what we look to remain and we with Him.
Thanks Thomas Nodoubt. So interesting that you would bring up Amein. I have not been able to say amen in prayer meetings for the last few weeks and did not understand why I was so mute. I have started to look into the word. I thought it was just a case of the Holy Spirit not wanting me to come into agreement with what was was being said but there maybe more to it than that. Thanks so much for the link you shared. It was excellent and very helpful.
I read the book, ‘Come Out Of Her My People’ which showed how the names of idols had been infiltrated into our language(s), especially the English language. Words like ‘lord’, jesus, church, amen, etc. Then, a few years later, I was impressed by the Spirit with the prophetic word, ‘…for then will I restore unto them a pure language(to take out the names of idols from their mouth) and they will call upon Me with clean lips'(from zeph3:9 ISR version)
I believe He is taking us to the prophetic word of, ”But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” Jn4:23
I believe the spirit of error has hidden the truth of so many things which will be coming out to the light of the Truth, the Way and the Life real soon.
How can we know what is true? So much false teaching – how can I know what you say is true? Is everyone who says Jesus/Lord unintentionally damned? I get so scared I just want to follow the true way but what is it? I will pray
Mark,
Do you know that when I was a little boy, I struggled to spell “quiet”? I would often spell it as “quite.” They are different words and have different meanings. But I very often got them mixed up. My mother would very often correct my spelling when I was wrong.
What was easy for her to understand and discern was difficult for me. But even though those words were stumbling blocks for me, I did not get expelled from class or school for the mistake nor did I fail my exams.
My point is simply this, Mark: A young believer is not expected to digest the meat of the Word. It is milk that they need. Revelation is progressive, and the growth of a Christian is also progressive. When we go to school for the first time, we don’t join in high school or college. Be inspired by your fellow Christian brothers and sisters. Don’t be intimidated by them. If you endure and don’t give up, then one day you will be like them. Does this cause you to wonder? Even the scripture says that one day we will be like our Lord Jesus.
If it is any consolation to you, I call my father, “Pappa” (with the double p) As per the Merriam-Webster Unabridged dictionary, the correct spelling is “Papa.” Do you think my father minds how I spell his name when I write him or pronounce his name when I address him? Sure, he would expect his grown-up son to know his formal name, but is that what he expects from his newborn son?
What everyone has said about deception and error is true but I would like to add my take on it. I find that the most common error lies in understanding the basic gospel. There are three positions. 1. All of Grace (Luther) 2. Primarily of works (Palagius) 3.Mixture of both (Semipalagianism). I have found that so many churches fall into the third category. This whole dilemma is represented in Rev.3 by “hot” (grace), “cold” (law or works)and “Luke warm”(mixture of both). Interesting that the group Jesus would spew out is the lukewarm one. Trying to have a performance based based relationship with our heavenly Father is a trap we can easily fall into.
Jesus clearly defined what He meant by lukewarm. It means neither cold nor hot. So it has nothing to do with our doctrinal beliefs, but everything to do with whether or not we walk in obedience to His commandments.
“So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.” (Revelation 3:16)
Mark,
1) what Sujit says is what our Father expected of me when I began to walk and ‘fell many times’. You are only required to walk in the revelational knowledge He has shared with you and will share with you. One way of looking at it is’to whom much has been given much shall be required…’ and, if you couple it with this word(Jas4:7)’to him who knows to do right and does not do it, to him it is sin…’, well, what Father shared with me, personally, on my, beginning of my walk, was , ‘ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be given you. For what father being a sinner, will not give his son a piece of bread and not a stone if he but ask; or if he ask a fish,he will not give him a serpent, will he? If you, being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more does your father in heaven know to give the Set-Apart Spirit to him who but asks? ‘
When I began to believe that is when two things started to happen, 1) all hell broke loose on me!!! (LOL- it wasn’t that bad, but it FELT like it at times :-). 2) I began understanding things that had happened to me all my life but had never been able to ‘put two and two together’ before. It was like beginning to see and beginning to hear, although , in my case, the ‘seeing’ was far more pronounced.
Jerome, I love that understanding of hot, cold and lukewarm. What Father shared with me is several other things that the hot, cold, lukewarm represent also. Namely, the leaven which is ‘mixed’ in or more accurately, the amount of leaven, which, at first, the ‘hot’ have no leaven and then a little bit leads to lukewarm-ness and , then, more leaven leads to cold-ness.
James, yes absolutely, and may I add that, ‘How violently we hold to obeying His commandments is how Hot we are’. And one other thing He told me was hot was the only way to make something ‘hotter’. Lukewarmness dilutes and cools down everything, and God hates ‘mixture’ of anything anyway. He wants it pure and separated and set-apart.
Thomas Nodoubt. It is remarkable what you have shared here as it connects and draws me out to share from my journal entry for the 3/7.
I have to leave it there for the moment to keep in step with the LORD. I will make a more detailed reply in a few days time.
Well, its one for the money

Hey Thomas Nodoubt. Under the article ‘we are in a new season of prophetic release’ I have shared what the LORD prompted me to share after you shared from Zeph 3 and John 4.
Wow, so the smallest thought, “I don’t know about this.” Can be life saving….
Hi Julie…Can I ask you about this Sanctuary? I feel the Lord impressing on me the same thing. Only He called it an Ark. Has he given you instructions regarding this Sanctuary?
I think she would reply if you go to her site, there is also info there about the sanctuary.
I would encourage everyone to be very careful, I was told to get sin out of my life that my church considers ok, I kept putting it off. I heard from the Lord, had amazing worship time, words of knowledge for others, revelation as I read the word, ect… June 29th I was introduced to something,(sin), I had put away years ago, I said no, even kinda freaked out about it. On Fri the 30th my husband of 34 years talked me into it, not his fault, I could have said no. What does just one matter? The Lord got a hold of me in the mist of sinning and asked me if this is what I want, do you really want to walk this road? My sin was an addiction to smoking and I kept trying to quit but kept going back to the addiction. I had been asking the Lord to see his face but knew I had to quit sinning, Friday while I repented Jesus was there and I couldn’t even lift my head to look at him, my shame was so great for my blatant disobedience. He showed me how my disobedience allowed other sins, that I had no idea I had, crept in unaware. So I also had to repent for those sins. Friday was my valley of decision, as the Lord was flashing my sins before me and my heart was broken, this is the first time I have fully surrendered my addiction to the Lord, I always tried to quit on my own, but I couldn’t. I know the struggle is over, I choose life. I choose life with my Lord and savior, my redeemer, my King, the lover of my soul. I hope this helps someone else. This season the temptations are stronger there is no more time to play around with your sin. Your sister in Yeshua!
Thanks for sharing that great testimony Barb.
So drinking wine is a sin?
Elizabeth, as a former alcoholic, I’ve been delivered of this addiction, however, I understand that those who are able to have a glass or two of wine with no repercussions to be “OK” where this is concerned. As with anything, I would always take it to the Lord in prayer. If the Holy Spirit speaks otherwise, that is, obviously, your answer. Many blessings to you.
I like something I’ve heard Perry Stone say in regards to drinking alcohol. “A Christian drinking alcohol is saying to the world that Jesus is not enough!” Blessings, Corrine
Didn’t Jesus turn the water into wine? Didn’t he drink wine? On the night before he died didn’t he hold a cup of wine in his hands and tell his apostles drink this, for this is my blood poured out for you.
I would add to this that both Noah and Lot sinned by getting drunk and affecting other family members. Even so, the Lord used Ruth the Moabite a descendent of Lot.
Well, it’s at least encouraging in this depraved day and time that we are cautiously and fearfully debating whether one or at the most two glasses of wine is sin…..for drunkenness is sin for sure…..but I’m glad people are fearfully tiptoeing around this topic with such care of even small amounts. And also those who say none at all is where we should be. I was delivered from Alcohol in February of 1988. But I had to be delivered AND I made a vow to God…..of which I’ve not broken. So I can appreciate the struggle and the abstinence of those who want to be on the safest side of the debate.
Don’t be filled with wine wherein there is excess but be filled with Holy Spirit. Drunkeness and alcoholism opens the door to demons. ask the Holy spirit for confirmation.
Not the drinking of wine as being a ‘sin’ but the putting up of a stumbling block before a brother, i.e. (From Romans chapt. 14 and summed up very nicely, the whole chapter in v.21 –
It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles. )
In other words, if one has faith to drink, it is not a sin, but one weak in faith (in that area) cannot handle that temptation. I, on my part, have a sin which I constantly, must be on guard against, one which continually tries to trip me up and one which, I believe, is that thorn in the flesh of which Paul spoke.
I would say smoking is a sin IF , IF your brother or sister has been convicted by the Spirit to give up that ‘pleasure of the flesh’ and to lay it down at the altar and to follow the Spirit of Life(and Freedom, as in He came to set the captives Free, and anything, no matter what, any thing, whether it is cigarettes or coffee or any pleasure of the flesh which attempts to entrap us into following after the flesh IS Sin)
In other words, ‘all things are expedient(for me) but not all thins are profitable(for me). I will not be overcome by anything’ ( and I will add into that scripture-judge whether this is of the Spirit or not) …’I will not be overcome by any thing OF THE FLESH.’ I do believe being overcome by His Spirit and convicted by His Spirit to obey and follow Him is what we are supposed to be following …and doing!
1timothy 5:23
If I am correct
Elizabeth
If drinking wine, in and of itself, is a sin, then Christ’s first miracle would have been aiding and abetting sin. Not so. Also, Christ Himself gave the instructions to use wine (along with unleavened bread) in the ceremony of the remembrance of his sacrifice.
The reason for this, I learned, is that wine, which Christ said represents His blood, is fermented/tainted, signifying His taking on of our sins (tainted blood), while we eat His body (unleavened bread), signifying the taking on of His life and body, which was perfect and without without sin/leaven. This is the “great exchange” as performed by Him, through His great redemption. There is deep meaning in these wine & bread elements.
Furthermore, there was no such thing as “grape juice” in ancient Israel, as they had no refrigeration. Therefore any reference to the “fruit of the vine” is wine, not grape juice.
But while this is the biblical framework on the technical topic of wine, as believers (and as beautifully stated already), we still ought to walk in love towards those who struggle with alcohol as an addition, which is very real to some.
Smoking is a sin?
During my time in repentance the Lord was bringing up my sins in front of me, and one of them was that I was destroying His beautiful temple, me. He created me perfect and I was destroying His creation. We all know what cigarettes do to the body. Also anything that control’s you is a sin.
All things are permitted to me but not all things are profitable: all things are permitted to me but I am not mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12
Ya I’d say smoking cigarettes is a sin because we know they’re definitely totally unhealthy…and our bodies are the temple of the holy spirit…i could never stand them myself but i do enjoy a good Cuban on occasion…some forms of alcohol such as wine actually have very beneficial qualities and are not inherently unhealthy at all in moderate quantities…however there are other concerns and i think the other peoples comments have covered it well enough…I confess this is a weak area for me because of all the pain in my life…i keep fighting tho and speaking the word over my circumstances…I do not desire to be controlled by anything other than the holy spirit…i know the time i sold everything and moved away to follow God I had zero attraction to alcohol of any sort without even trying…now when I’m trapped isolated broke and divorced it is much harder to resist…I pray Gods word comes to pass soon and I can be on my way again!
It’s addictive and defiles the body . It’s also a doorway to demons . Ask the Holy Spirit for confirmation.
Soda fits that description as well. Addictive and not healthy. Potato chips and pastries too. Quite a slippery slope if consuming anything not 100% healthy is sin
The issue is not law, but addictions, being brought under the power of any (1Co 6:12).
All addictions are demon fed, all of them… even prescription drugs. And yes, addictions to caffeine qualify as well.
Another major sin that people do not consider to be wrong are sexual fantasies and lusts, even when one is alone and thinking of someone they want to have relations with. It seems innocent enough and appears to harm no one, but it opens one up to demonic assault and possession.
The new breed of apostles that the Lord raises up will be teaching a very strict and narrow way and that is why they will be hated by many.
Sorry to have to say it, but almost everything we do here is wrong. This is why the word proclaims that friendship with the world is enmity with God. God has been warning many who will listen, to come away from all forms of entertainment, even the nightly news.
The Lord has been showing this to me…How the enemy has infiltrated almost every form of entertainment which is why he is the prince of the air (world )…people thunk well what can I do if mostly everything the world does is bad the problem is the church has become so worldly that sin has become entertainment and fleshly things, which is why we are having debates over wine, wearing bikinis…I go to a church I know the Lord has called me to ,but they believe wearing this is ok….and when I spoke about it they called it legalism. These last days, the Lord is calling us back to the narrow way
Big amen to that Sahran.
