Does God cooperate with Satan in our destruction?

“Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely Thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.” (Jer. 4:10).

“O LORD, Thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: Thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.” (Jer. 20:7,8).

“Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;

That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from Me through their idols.

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from Me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning Me; I the LORD will answer him by Myself:

And I will set My face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.” (Eze. 14:4-9).

“They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of His children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not He thy Father that hath bought thee? hath He not made thee, and established thee?…

They provoked Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they Him to anger.

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.” (Deut. 32:5,6,16-18).

“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming:

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2Thess. 2:8-12).

“Charismatic Practice

The rise of Evangelical and Pentecostal forms of religion — first in the United States, and in the last half century in Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia — is one of the most important religious, cultural and political shifts of the 20th century. Hundreds of millions of people now belong to Pentecostal churches, and hundreds of millions more worship in other churches that have adopted more Evangelical styles and beliefs. In many places, these forms of Christianity have become the primary religious competitors to Catholicism.

The story too little told, however, is the degree to which Catholic practice has been reshaped by Evangelical practice and belief in many parts of the world. That form of Catholic practice, known as Charismatic Catholicism, is characterized to varying degrees in different contexts by its strong appeal to emotion and personal witness, emphasis on Bible reading and personal relationship with Jesus, and worship that includes waving of hands and intense prayer, healing by laying on of hands. In more limited contexts, it is also associated with a Pentecostal tendency toward the “prosperity Gospel,” the belief that God rewards Christians with economic well being if they follow God’s path.” https://www.catholicsandcultures.org/node/223/charismatic-practice

“He that turneth away his ear from hearing the Law, even his prayer shall be abomination.” (Prov. 28:9).

“In 2011, there were an estimated 584 million Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians worldwide. They made up 9 percent of the world’s population and 27 percent of all Christians. There were 279 million Pentecostals and over 300 million Charismatics (the figures for Charismatics include both the Charismatic Movement in the historic churches as well as the neocharismatic movement). Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity is second in size only to the Roman Catholic Church.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charismatic_Christianity

But with Jesus’ reproofs He gives the yearning of His heart. “Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.” (Mic. 2:10).

“For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.” (Isa. 30:15).

Being slain in the spirit, and all the self-manufactured mental gymnastics that come with Charismatic Christianity, are too much emotion and stress on the mind. It is unhealthy, and it shortens the lifespan of the brain. The brain is an exceptionally sensitive organ and one greatly susceptible to damage. Long-term anger, stress, shame, guilt, anxiety, substances (alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, refined sugar and starch, street drugs and even pharmaceuticals), fear, despair, sorrow or regret or remorse, all take a heavy toll on the brain and ultimately cause it permanent damage. No less does the bewilderment and repeated angst that come with trying hard to get God’s ear without being humbled by His Law and surrendering to it. Dementia, schizophrenia, delirium, and delusion results because the vitality of the brain gets spent.

In the good environment of love, the brain can take an endless barrage of stress, remorse, and fear. Our bodies are amazingly resilient and can take a lot of punishment. But, in the wrong environment that is devoid of being loved, the brain has no resource to revive itself from the toll emotion takes on it. And the correct environment comes only with Jehovah’s redemption, once we surrender to His righteous Law and then surrender to the merciful cross His Son died on.

Only when we surrender to the almighty will of God, as revealed in His Law and scriptures, will we have eternal love. To those who will be humbled, He will bring the need of a Saviour from our sins. Then He will put the gift of God into their spirit in the form of repentance and reassurance. This sequence is the science of salvation that the Bible repeatedly presents to the heart yearning for God’s love, yearning for heaven’s acceptance and His help to be rid of sin. A knowledge of sin—that thing that causes us to distrust God and to serve the deceiver, recognizing the only true way of life and acknowledging our ownership in rebellion, sorrowing for the death we have caused the heart of God, determining to be like Him, hating our garments spotted with the flesh—all open us to the life and power of the only true God. We have opened ourselves to the validity of the Law of righteousness; and we have brought delight to the heart of our Creator.

“But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.” (Jer. 9:24).

Has the LORD changed His mind from lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness? Are they no longer His delights? Does He no longer exercise His church into those efforts? “I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob [the supplanter, the deceiver, the thief] are not consumed.” (Mal. 3:6).

All who allow Him to change their heart find their life becoming beautiful and full of meaning. They are delivered from “him who that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” (Heb. 2:14).

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” (Rom. 8:1,2). Redemption is real; but religious emotions are imaginary redemption.

The charismatic religion is no different from the merciless idolatry of the Old Testament heathen religions. The Charismatic movement was born out of the rejection of God’s express will in His Ten Commandments. In the mid-1800s the Protestant churches abrogated God’s Law when they refused to accept Sabbath reform. When they turned away their hearts from the seventh-day Sabbath, they turned their foot to trample it, and they rejected God who hallowed that day, setting it apart from the world’s day of Sun worship.  “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” (Ex. 20:11).

“For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.” (Jer. 4:3,4).

His plea to Protestantism today comes from His prophets of old speaking from the Book that the Protestants profess to love. “If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto Me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of My sight, then shalt thou not remove. And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him shall they glory.” (Jer. 4:1,2).

But, because they turned away their hearts from God’s rightful condemnation of their sin of Sabbath-breaking, they opened their hearts to the deceiver who convinced them that all the warnings and promises of the Old Testament are only for ancient Israel and today those promises and warnings are only good for the modern Israeli. The commandments and condemnations and punishments aren’t applicable to the Christian today because he is a “believer” and “saved”. God never punishes His saved children. Such unbiblical fallacies! In actuality, He is already punishing the Protestants and will soon unleash His full wrath on the Charismatic movement. They are already receiving the Mark of the beast in their forehead.

“Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree….” (Isa. 57:5).

“He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?” (Isa. 44:20).

“Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of Mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.” (Isa. 50:11).

“Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.” (Isa. 50:10).

The fear of the Lord is His conviction in the soul. Conviction of sin makes us very happy and healthy, as does reverence for God and His Law. “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him.” (Ps. 103:13). But, all the emotions in the world can never replace redemption, which puts the gift of God in the heart, the Law of God in the mind, and the seal of God in the forehead. Movies, music, and sports celebrities give no love and living touch; and therefore they can give no life. If they give no life, then they are giving death. Likewise, a religion of emotion gives no life, rather it over stresses the mind and drains it of life. But, one touch from our Creator gives redemption, which restores the mind with our Creators’ life and peace. Such a soul has subjected itself to the Law of God and surrendered to His crucified Son, and received the Father’s loving approbation through Jesus. The charismatic heathen religion, however, is a carnal religion. It has not submitted to the righteousness of God. Therefore, it provides no gift of God; it has no heavenly supernatural element or principle; and therefore it is all religion of the flesh and death.

“To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.…

But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.” (Rom. 8:6-8,11).

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Rom. 6:23).

And God waits a long time because He “is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish.” (2Pet. 3:9).

But, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness” (2Pet. 3:9), “but that all should come to repentance.” (2Pet. 3:9). He is waiting for their surrender to His written will that will bring them all to forgiveness and peace with Him.

But, it is also true that He will follow through with His warnings and threats. When the whole religious world, especially the Christian world, is wholly bent on worshiping Satan in his Spiritual Formation/Charismatics/Mass; when the whole world has turned their ear away from hearing God’s Law because they will not surrender to His “chastisement of our peace” (Isa. 53:5); when the whole world follows after the Beast, then God has no choice but to bring upon the world their destruction.

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2Pet. 3:10).

“For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from Me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning Me; I the LORD will answer him by Myself.” (Eze. 14:7).

Does God work as a deceiver because He speaks through the charismatic prophets to the people? No, He only lets the people do what they determined in their heart to do. He lets them hear what their uncircumcised ears are itching to hear. He let the devil loose from the bottomless pit, who immediately set to work at deluding the whole world to follow his high priest of Christian sorcery, his 450 priests of Christian Ashtoreth, and his 400 pentecostal prophets of Christian Baal.

And the day comes when Jesus will throw the Beast of Catholicism and the false prophet of Protestantism into the lake of fire that burns the heart and mind with devil possession forever and ever until they overdose on emotional and psychological stressors. Then the wages of sin will be death.

“If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” (Rev. 14:9-11).

Then the Lord will destroy them all with the brightness of His coming and burn up the earth and the wicked works that accompanied the global occult religion of charismatic Catholicism.

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns; and He had a name written, that no man knew, but He Himself.

And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS….

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

And the remnant were slain with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of His mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.” (Rev. 19:11-16,19-21).
