A word of Wisdom: Traditions of Carnal Men (A Good Friday Message)

A word of Wisdom:

Traditions of Carnal Men

(A Good Friday Message)

1 Corinthians 2:12-15 KJV

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; 

that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 

[13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

[15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.


On this Good Friday and the coming Resurrection Day, 

The formal rituals you performed and silly costumes you wore for your sacred processions and performances reflects where your heart belongs. 


Luke 12:34 KJV

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.


This is of the spirit of the wotld and it is not of the spirit of Christ. 

The Early Church never did do all these silly rituals of empty religion. 

The Apostles never did teach us to follow these traditions of carnal men. 

The Father does not care for your empty religious forms.

These are simply vanity of vanities. 


Matthew 7:6 KJV

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.


You are just like the Pharisees and scribes who came against Christ on earth. 


Galatians 3:1-3 KJV

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 

[2] This only would I learn of you, 

Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 

[3] Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?


2 Timothy 3:5 KJV

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.


Mark 7:6-9 KJV

He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, 

This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 

[7] Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 

[8] For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, 

as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 

[9] And he said unto them, 

Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.


Are you willing to abandon all your worldly ways and the traditions of  carnal men for our Lord Jesus Christ? 

Will you keep His Word or will you continue to honour Him with your lips only?


John 14:23-24 KJV

Jesus answered and said unto him, 

If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 

[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.


Brethrens, let us all REPENT!

Come, let us only worship God in spirit and in truth. 


John 4:23-24 KJV

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. 

[24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.


Brethrens, let us choose to obey and follow the voice of our Shepherd from now on! 


John 14:26-27 KJV

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 

[27] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. 

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who came to our s

Absolute Surrender: Peter's Repentance

Image
Absolute Surrender By Andrew Murray Peter's Repentance You may be a very earnest, godly, devoted believer, in whom the power of the flesh is yet very strong. That is a very solemn truth.  Peter, before he denied Christ, had cast out devils and had healed the sick; and yet the flesh had power, and the flesh had room in him.  Oh, beloved, we have to realize that it is just because there is so much of that self-life in us that the power of God cannot work in us as mightily as God is willing that it should work.  Do you realize that the great God is longing to double His blessing, to give tenfold blessing through us?  But there is something hindering Him, and that something is a proof of nothing but the self-life.  We talk about the pride of Peter, and the impetuosity of Peter, and the self-confidence of Peter. It all rooted in that one word, self.  Christ had said, “Deny self,” and Peter had never understood, and never obeyed; and every failing came out of that. What a solemn thought,

A word of Knowledge: Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove

Image
A word of Knowledge Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove Luke 3:22 KJV And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Many people, if not everyone, have misunderstood this verse. They pictured the Holy Spirit coming in the shape of a dove coming down upon Jesus. No, this is not what God is telling us at all.  What purpose does it serve to tell us the Holy Spirit looks like a dove where He obviously does not look like that?  God is not the author of foolishness and  confusion.  We are made in God's image, therefore, God the Holy Spirit's bodily shape is one that resembles that of a man, just as God the Son and God the Father. Now, let us read the verse again slowly: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a BODILY SHAPE like a dove upon him" ...in what bodily shape? It is of course in the shape of a man! And the Holy Ghost DESCENDED in a bodily shape LIKE A
