Morning Devotional October 11, 2017

Ephesians 5:11

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

In this devotional I will only be speaking of/to those in the Lord's true churches.

Once again we are at the time of year when most of those who claim the name of Christ will leave the Word of God behind and follow the ways of the world. The month of October has become a time of open rebellion by many in the Lord's churches.

Verse after verse can be easily found in God's Word warning His people and particularly His Bride of following after the devil. Yet every year for several generations now we have seen the churches follow the way of the world and the ways of Catholicism. And every year the celebrations become more dark and demented and evil. Many who celebrate this unholy day have not been taught the truth on this. Others have been taught the truth and are in open rebellion against our Lord. They honestly believe it is all for fun or we hear them say “well we do it for the children”. Then there is the age-old answer “We did it when we were children so it can't be all that bad.”

But what saith the Lord? Everything we do we are to prove by His Word are we not? The Word of God is to be the final authority on what we say and do. So why do so many rebel when it comes to the spiritually darkest time of the year? Why are so many of the Lord's Pastors refusing to preach the truth on this matter?

I know some who honestly think they can delve in darkness for a short time and come out unscathed and somehow have their faith strengthened because of it. And there are even some who think they can play the game and be a good “witness for Christ” while if they were to admit the truth they are really just rebelling against our Lord because they seek the lust of the flesh.

God wrote much about witches and wizards and evil spirits in His Word. Every time He warned His people to stay away from them and not to follow after them. Yet today whole congregations celebrate the most holy day of the year for the darkness of this world.

Jeremiah 5:31 “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”

Praise ye the Lord!!!
