Pitfalls



Satan is an excellent marketer. He can take those things that result in loneliness, disease, unhappiness, destruction, heartache, insecurity, unrest, hate, fear, impatience, harshness, evil, doubt, false pride, and death and package them in a way that appeals to people.

In the final analysis, there are really only two entities. There is that which is of the Father, Creator, God and that which is not of the Father, Creator, God. There is the Church (that which is called out of the world) on the one hand and the world on the other. The world is everything that is not the Church. The Church is everything that is not the world. The world consists of all the things that are of the culture and order of this age. The Church is of the age to come. Many things that are called "Church" are not the Church. The Church is not of this present evil age. It is called out of this age into the next. Whatever is not for the Church is against the Church. Whatever is not against the Church is for the Church. The king of the world is named Satan. The king of the Church is named Jesus.

There is a lure of the world. The world is in perfect tune with the flesh of every Christian and every non-Christian. Have you noticed how faithful worldly people, such as Atheists, are? They are much more faithful to Satan than Christians are to Jesus. That is because Atheists and other members of the world are moving in one direction in congruency. The Christian has a flesh that must die, a flesh that fights a battle to the death against God, a flesh that is loyal to Satan. As the Christian yields to the Spirit of God, Christ is more fully formed in the Christian and the flesh is more fully put to death. We have been crucified with Christ, and crucifixion is a very slow death.

Following any of the cults or false doctrine or any of the philosophies of the world will result in disaster and lack of fulfillment. Your true destiny is only available in Jesus Christ. It cannot be found in any cult, human philosophy, or human effort regardless of what that cult, human philosophy, or human effort may be. Read more. Read even more. God does love those who are deceived by the world. God loves those who are deceived by a cult regardless of which cult it is. God would turn the followers of the cult from their own destruction if they would soften their hearts toward Him.

If you are a Christian and you see anyone who has been deceived by the worldly systems, it is important to look to Jesus and let the love of God flow to them as it is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost. Perhaps you will pray. Perhaps God will give you a word of wisdom or a word of knowledge. Perhaps someone will turn to Christ.


The world will never bring you to spiritual success. The culture is against God and His Church. This page exposes a few of the worldly systems. As you can see, there are many. You will want to avoid the many counterfeit, unreal ways of trying to fulfill your purpose in life, since all of these ways lead to frustration. They all frustrate the grace of God.
