Cast Out The Devil (2)

 James 4: 7

"Therefore, submit to God and fight against devil, and he will flee from you."

In order to cast out devil in our life, we must draw close to God. The devil knows who we are and he is not afraid of us, but if we are with God, then devil will not see us, what he sees is Jesus who is in us.

There are many Christians whose lives have been ruined, their jobs are in disarray, their homes are chaotic, their children are rebellious children. All of this is inseparable from the role of the evil one who really wants us to accompany him in hell.

The world that exists today is a world of compromise with sin. Sin is not something that is disgusting anymore, but it has become a habit in everyday life.

We can see this from the criminals who are arrested or put on trial, their faces do not show any shame anymore. For them it is a matter of pride to be able to rob large amounts of state money, as well as a judiciary which is full of uncertainty.

Markus is circulating everywhere, unfortunately this is not Mark's (Indonesia =Markus) disciple of God but "Makelar Kasus = Case Brokers", people who will arrange charges even until the judge's verdict is in accordance with your deposit. I myself wonder why it is called Markus, is it because those involved as brokers are mostly people who claim to be Christians?

Those of you who have jobs in this field, of course understand what I mean. Money is everything, money can arrange for you not to be jailed, but it is arranged for you to be hospitalized or be placed under house/ city arrest.

Court decisions based on the money you deposit. The more the deposit the lighter the penalty. God has reminded things like this in the last 2000 years ago.

 Deuteronomy 16:19

"Do not pervert justice, do not be indifferent and do not accept bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the wise and pervert the words of the righteous."

 Habakkuk 1: 4

"Therefore, the law loses its strength and justice never appears, for the wicked surround the righteous; that is why justice is perverted.”

Our country is an extraordinary land. For someone who steals a chicken or steals a sandal, receives a sentence of 3 months in prison, while a corruptor who has stolen tens to hundreds of billions of state money is released on the grounds of "insufficient evidence".

Amazing isn't it, that's a portrait of justice in this beloved country. Law and justice are twisted. People who have power or money are in power, while those who are weak will be crushed by the law.

Free sex life is so extraordinary among young people, from a survey that has been published we can see how severe the sexual behavior of young people today. For them, sex is a pleasure tool that is not related to their religion. Amazingly, in front of their parents, they become pious and obedient children.

Currently, if there is a high school (SMA) child who is still a virgin will be laughed and be considered an old fashioned or outdated child. Meanwhile the parents pretended to close their eyes to see their children's free sex activities.

This free sex activity not only takes place in big cities, it has even spread to small cities in Indonesia. This can be seen from the circulation of many pornographic photos and pornographic videos by students from various cities in Indonesia. (Maybe imitating one of the Legislative/Senate) members whose videos were scattered everywhere)

Television also plays an important role in expanding the devil's kingdom in our country. Many programs are covertly promoting immoral places or nightclubs, and also promoting a free lifestyle by interviewing prostitutes, gays, or students peddling themselves, massage parlors and so on.

Even at the event, they were also told the rates of those who sold themselves. So that people who don't understand nightlife will be the ones who know best about nightlife spots. That is the beginning, then they will try to come to that place.

Illegal drugs are extraordinary prima donna for human life today. If in the past it was only enjoyed by a handful of people, now the consumers are from small children to grandparents. (Of course, we still remember a former top movie star, whose house always has regular service, turned out to be a drug addict).

The churches are inseparable from these drugs, many church youths are active in church activities, but also become drug addicts.

Even better, there is a church when the pastor is preaching, the young man would leave church, and along with other friends enjoying drugs outside the church yard. After the pastor finished the sermon, they returned to sit in the church chairs

It is even more extraordinary if they find out that their child is a drug addict, parents do not want to blame themselves for their incompetence in caring for or educating their children. (Or blame the child for the addiction), but what they blame are the drug dealers or the child's friends.

So according to the parents, they are innocent parents or children, who are guilty are other people who get their children down... (especially the drug dealers are blamed).

Today's married life is so fragile, because existing marriages are built on the basis of sex. So, they got married because they had sex, not because they loved each other. It is not uncommon, if a couple who has just been married for 5 months immediately has children. And just married one or 2 years later divorced.

Marriage which is built on the basis of the flesh (sex) will not last long, because the nature of the flesh is that never satisfied. The flesh will always seek new things to satisfy the flesh itself.

And if the marriage is maintained, what happens is a pseudo marriage. The husband has a "mistress", while the wife has a "mistress". In fact, it is common place at this time when a man or woman who is married has a "boy/girlfriend" in his life. They said, "Well, this is my boy/ girlfriend, the one in the house is my husband / wife".

The Protestant, Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches are helping to expand the kingdom of devil on earth. Many marriages are approved by the church without investigating the origin of the bride and groom who want to marry.

Currently, if you are divorced and known by the whole church, and you intend to remarry, then you can propose marriage to another church that will be approved by that church.

The words "until death do us part" no longer apply in this life. Protestant, Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches should be ashamed of the Catholic Church which still adheres to the rules regarding remarriage.

A Catholic congregation who is divorced and wants to remarry must have the approval of the Pope. Remarkable .... today there are still things that make it difficult for people to marry and divorce.

Many Catholic congregations circumvent this, because it is difficult to get permission to remarry the congregation will register in the Protestant, Pentecostal or Charismatic Church, and they are free to marry in churches that claim to be closer to God than the Catholic church.

 1 Corinthians 7: 10-11

7:10 To those who have married me - no, not I, but the Lord - command that a wife should not divorce her husband.

7:11 And if she divorces, she must remain without a husband or be at peace with her husband. And a husband cannot divorce his wife

Jesus loves you and whole your family
