Samuel V.
The apostle Paul speaks of two dreadful events that afflict the Church just before the return of Jesus. In fact, the Lord will not come until these two horrible things happen.And I want to show that both things are happening right now -¡ante our eyes -
First, Paul tells us that in the last days there will be a great apostasy. And second, warns that an evil spirit of antichrist catch what many believers are straying! Of course, the church has been preaching and teaching for years about the coming of the Antichrist. We have been waiting for the manifestation of the Man of Sin, the son of perdition. Some speculate that it will be revealed in our time, which, in fact, has already been born and is living somewhere in the land.
Is there such a man? Yes, I think so, and that is fully possessed by Satan. But when it appears, will be well received. It will require the devotion of all mankind -¡poniéndose likewise above God before the world
The only reason that the Antichrist has not been released yet is because his time has not come. But one day the Holy Spirit will lift His hand stops, and the Man of Sin will be revealed in all its power. The Bible assures us, however, that when finished the time of the wicked man will be destroyed by God: "... whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of his coming "(2 Thessalonians 2 : 8). There Antichrist ... but also the Spirit of Antichrist!
We have a Savior that exists right now in glory as a man. He is a living person-of flesh and bone, eyes, hair- though He is God. And while we are here on earth, His Spirit dwells among us: " And because ye are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son, crying, Abba, Father "(Galatians 4: 6). But there is another spirit working in the world-the spirit of antichrist. Surely as Jesus has given us His Spirit, there is a spirit of antichrist possessing many apostate Christians. And that spirit is moving in the world -¡preparando hearts for the coming of the man of sin "... and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard is coming and even now is already in the world" ( 1 John 4: 3.)
John is saying here: "Have you heard about the coming of the Antichrist. It has been preached and taught, and you are waiting for your arrival. But, beloved, wake up because the spirit of antichrist is already working!. " You have to understand. The Antichrist will suddenly not show up on the scene and will crush humanity, but his spirit is moving mysteriously now setting up his kingdom in the cold and indifferent hearts. And when the Man of Sin is finally revealed, it will be publicly revealed to a world that is ready for it to heart that his spirit already has! Right now we see a growing anti-Christian sentiment and behavior. But soon this will turn into a stream of water, and possibly in a vast ocean. And when the Antichrist finally appears, Christians were still many who will welcome you because their hearts are a kindred spirit!
Paul warned us of this. He said that in the last days false prophets would infiltrate the Church, preaching another gospel and another Jesus. Many such false prophets have appeared, preaching the gospel of Antichrist: "Because it is already in the mystery of iniquity; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way "(2 Thessalonians 2: 7).
spirit of antichrist is now invading even the hearts of many apostate Christians. They are being absolutely dominated by evil. "But how?" Ask him. "" Why do some Christians are apostates return to the Antichrist? "Because they are in the same mind with him! John writes: " Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not from the Father but from the world ... "Little children it is the last time; and as ye have heard that antichrist is coming, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour "(1 John 2: 15-18). Juan is warning us of those who still love the things of the world have opened themselves to the spirit of antichrist. He is saying, "We know these are the last days because many are full of greedy spirit of antichrist ! " "Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist who denies the Father and the Son " (verse 22). The apostle adds, "If you do not you put under the absolute Lordship of Jesus - if you do not recognize in thy paths-then you have yourself ready for this evil spirit!"
Dear, if you are serving Jesus with only 50 percent - or even with a 90 per cent then you are denying His full salvation.You are not serving him with all your heart, mind, soul and body. And you have opened a way for the antichrist spirit between! Not enough to say: "I believe that Jesus was God made flesh." Rather, we should say, "Jesus, You are God made flesh in me. You have all the power and authority over the desires and sin. And I surrender completely to You ". Those who are Justos.-those who worship God in Spirit and in Truth -¡Son Major White of the Antichrist! " He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or that is worshiped ... "(2 Thessalonians 2: 4). The antichrist spirit is opposed to all who walk closely with God. He goes after the true worshipers will worship because he wants for himself!Satan wants to destroy not only pure worship. Want rob God all the praise! and if you walk in intimacy with Jesus, the spirit of antichrist will come against you with everything you have. Will attack with fear, doubt, greed - anything that will provide a path or a way to prevent your worship.
still their spirit of lawlessness is being restricted by the Holy Spirit: "And now you know what restrains him, so that in due time it is revealed "(verse 6). It is the power of God's Spirit in His Church-that is, in you and in me-what stops Satan anarchy. In fact, if the Spirit of God churches with fire and bring godly believers, our nation would be a bloody hell. Still, "Christian" profession, but lazy-those who have never left their sin, they are still monopolized by the things of the world may not stay at these times. They will be caught by evil! The apostle Peter writes; " These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever ... For if they have escaped the pollutions of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, again entangled in them are overcome absence, the latter end is worse with them than the first. "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog returns to its vomit, and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire " (2 Peter 2:17, 20-22). Peter describes people who claimed to be saved here. Ever had escaped the pollutions of the world, rescued by the power of God. They had known the way of righteousness. And yet again they tangle again into sin. They were defeated by the spirit of antichrist!
Pedro could not have been talking about unbelievers here. After all, the unsaved have no faith that apostasy. But those who depart have something to separate. Obviously, Peter is speaking of apostate Christians. But such consecrations half believers do more than forsake the Lord. Also fall somewhere in the hands of the antichrist spirit! Peter says that such people have been "... past due ..." (verse 21).
Apostle Paul makes an amazing statement. He says that even now the spirit of antichrist has taken its place in the temple: "... so that he sits in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God " (2 Thessalonians 2: 4).
Beloved, it is time to stop to look to Jerusalem-to the reconstruction of the temple for the spirit of antichrist is already ascending to his throne! "What?", Ask him. "What is this temple where the spirit of the antichrist sitting now, showing his power and kingdom?". It is the temple of the hearts of the people! "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you" (1 Corinthians 3:16). " Know ye not that your body is the temple of Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own " (6:19). "... for ye are the temple of the living God, as God said, I will dwell among them, and be their God, and they shall be my people "(2 Corinthians 2:16). Yes, we are the temple of God. More in some other spirit has invaded the temple. The Spirit of God was-and lust, pride, greed and slander reign supreme. There is nothing pure, holy or divine. A mysterious spirit of iniquity is in control! How could such a terrible and awful thing? At one time the living God had this temple, ruling and reigning. It was once enthroned here.
Dear, this is because many Christians have neglected. No longer walking in righteousness and holiness. And they end up wandering in the road to the spirit of antichrist. Now he sits on the throne of their hearts and obviously has absolute control! There will always be a Lord on the Throne of Every Heart -¡Ya Sea Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, or the Antichrist! Anyone who is reading this message has a lord on the throne of his heart., Or the Spirit of Christ, or the spirit of antichrist
I am totally convinced that the most effective means of the antichrist spirit to prepare the hearts are cable television and filthy movies. He knows that the eye is the gateway to the heart. And march right through the eye corrupt and full of a Christian, usurps the throne of your heart! It is for this reason that the spirit of antichrist has taken control of secular media -chain television, film producers, Broadway theaters, the press, etc. Who but the spirit of antichrist could have the media to proclaim that abortion is now considered a right rather than a sin? Who but this spirit could justify euthanasia, murder of elderly or terminally ill?
Who but the spirit of antichrist could make fun of all that is sacred and holy, through evil and vile films TV programs? I think the spirit of antichrist is currently producing MTV and the Fox Network. From what I read of their programs, everything is absolute filth. Who but the spirit of antichrist could be responsible? The spirit of lawlessness is becoming more and more brazen and our society is about to become a living hell. The antichrist spirit now pervades our schools, our courts, our streets, our businesses, even our homes. And, sadly, this spirit is moving rapidly within the church. I think the spirit of antichrist is establishing churches throughout the United States. This spirit is the motivating force behind the churches "within the world." Who but the spirit of antichrist would call for them to set the wicked spiritual agenda of the church-sending enumerators door to door, asking people. "How would you prefer to be the church? We want to make your taste for you to come. "

We want to make your taste for you to come. "
These mega-churches are being built on parodies and comedies, because people will not listen to rebuke. -So do not want to hear a gospel conviction that is almost completely devoid of repentance, judgment and Cruz. They are told all about the grace and mercy, how to survive with no problems-but God's judgment and hell. They are being lulled to sleep in their sinful lifestyle. I ask you: What would happen if I went to the streets together all the muchachillos to be pint schools and asked them: "What kind of school would you like? .'ll Build one that you enjoy, only to want to come "Those guys would answer:" We want a school that lasts only three days a week! We do not want algebra, or calculus, or science. And we want that recess is from 12 until two in the afternoon for lunch and nothing but pizza and fries. There will be lessons, or regulations, no qualifications. And we can come and go as we please. " If I take out that would have the largest school in New York, with all dropouts in sight. But what would happen to those boys ten years later, with no real preparation for life? That's what preachers of churches "within the world" should ask! What will you do when you stand before the holy throne of God, and watch helplessly as, one by one, many of his flock are condemned because they were never confronted with their sins? His people never heard a word of rebuke to guide them to true justice. There was a message of conviction to shake people from their sins and prepare to face the judgment seat of Christ.
This is exactly what the Bible warns: Churches shaped godliness but no power. I ask you: Who brought world music within the church? Who became the weekly prayer meetings on "night entertainment" in the church? Who made that Christians are more concerned about who wins the Super Bowl than the dying and lost people to be saved? The antichrist spirit is telling Christians they can drink two glasses of the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons!

The antichrist spirit is telling Christians they can drink two glasses of the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons!
"I imply that what pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. You can not drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you can not partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons "(1 Corinthians 10: 20-21). You may be thinking, "This is really scary. How do you get a Christian point of being dominated by the spirit of antichrist "
There are two reasons why the spirit of antichrist can beat a Christian: The First Cause by which the Spirit of Antichrist Can Beat a Believer Apostate: The Lost Love of Truth "... because they received not the love of the truth ... " (2 Thessalonians 2:10). The antichrist spirit is entered when the truth of God and is loved more, or made itself: "... that they all might be damned who believed not the truth ..." (verse 12). The prophet Jeremiah wrote: " Roam the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and inquire; seek in their seats to see if they can find a man, if there is one who does justice, who seeks truth; and I will pardon. "Although saying LORD lives, they swear falsely. O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? Have stricken them, not hurt them; consumed them, and they would not receive correction; They made their faces harder than a rock, they would not become " (Jeremiah 5: 1-3). This passage is not speaking of Gentiles, but Israel, the people of God. God is saying to Jeremiah: "Go and find me one person who has a heart that seeks truth and forgive anyone--a. More you will not find one, Jeremiah! These people say they love me, but do not receive my correction.Do not hurt when the rebuke. No longer tremble at My Word ". You may think, "I'm glad I'm not like Israel. I love the Word of God. I have not lost my love for the truth. " But I invite you to try it yourself! Let me give you three ways to determine if you have love for the truth in your heart: The first sign of a loss of love for the truth is when you stop assembling with other believers. If it's a job for you to go to church, then you have lost the love for the truth of God, " not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting and all the more as you see the Day approaching "(Hebrews 10:25).
When you crave are no longer in the house of God with His people, when you find it boring preaching and worship you do not care you've opened the spirit of antichrist. And the Lord will admonishes: "The closer you are to my coming, the more dangerous the times. And most important is that you meet with my people! ". Yet something tragic is happening throughout the United States and Canada. Pastors call us to our ministry and tell us: "We have to cancel our meeting midweek because few people showed up. We've stopped having night Sunday services because people do not come unless we project a movie or do a concert. And people do not want to come on Sunday morning if they think the meeting will last over an hour. " Where are the children of God if they are not in the Lord's house? They are in restaurants, parties, social and sporting events. More than that, they are locked in front of their televisions watching programs growing evil!
A second sign of a loss of love for the truth is when the messages of reproof make you think of the sin of someone else and not in yours.
When you hear a prophetic sermon, you sit comfortably, thinking, "Ah, yes that describes the Brother So! Thank God, finally it is being touched. Lord, give harder "? I ask you: How much, if anything, the message of this article you're applying yourself? How much is causing a stir and conviction in your heart? Are you praying: "Lord, turn Your Word in my heart?"
I urge you to attend to the words of David: "In my heart I have hidden your word not sin against thee" (Psalm 119: 11).A third sign of a loss of love for the truth is when you angry rebuke rather than humiliate. God says in an abomination to rebuke reveals a departure from the path of holiness: "The counterclaim is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way;And he who hates correction will die " (Proverbs 15:10). Maybe sometimes you go out after a sermon of reproof saying, "That word was very hard. And that preacher is too angry! "Dear, any godly pastor preached with holy zeal, and that's because he is angry with the devil, angry with the spirit of antichrist angry with all that separates your soul of true worship ! Padre
's Second Cause why the Spirit of Antichrist Can Beat a Lukewarm Christian is the love of pleasure; " That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness " (2 Thessalonians 2:12). Paul is speaking here of "mindless complacency." But he's not talking about the art world, the maddening crowds, gamblers, prostitutes, drug addicts. No, pleasure seekers in recent times referred to herein are within the church! Paul warns: "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. For men will be lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God " (2 Timothy 3: 1-4). "Blasphemous in the house of God?" Relentless questions you, what? Slanderous ¿? Are traitors? Surely not! Oh yes, absolutely! When Paul uses the phrase: "... lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ...", is implying that these people have a measure of love for God. But that love is up and polluted by a love of worldly pleasures. Paul is talking about those who pursue pleasure so sinful!
Dear, can splurge five dollars for a trip to the cinema if you want, and sit watching two hours of violence, bloodshed and blasphemy in which the name of God is freely taken in vain. But you are warned: You'll be drinking from the cup of demons, having fellowship with demons! Look, when you pay for that sort of thing, you state your commitment to the spirit of the antichrist that rules the media. God calls it a sacrifice to demons (see 1 Corinthians 10:20). Worst of all, you're inviting the antichrist spirit to your heart. And if you continue drinking from the cup of demons if you keep allowing the evil spirit of antichrist seep into your soul will not be long before anything uncomfortable, or convinced of sin. A Remnant Holy Truth Will Love!
Paul thanks God for a holy people who remains steadfast in perilous times. This holy remnant will rise against the spirit of the antichrist and will remain strong. They will never be defeated. Instead they will overcome the world, the flesh and the evil! " But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. "" And the same Jesus Christ our Lord and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal encouragement and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work " (2 Thessalonians 2: 13,17). This holy remnant loves truth. They do not mind being rejected. So they look at themselves in the light of God's Word, allowing it to penetrate to the core, and may God sanctify his mind and spirit.
Dear, if you keep your heart open to the truth if you continue to love the word of God the Lord will sustain you. And when the evil spirit of this world comes like a flood, Satan can not enter into your heart. "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which can not be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. Why not rest the rod of the wicked upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity "(Psalm 125: 1-3). The spirit of antichrist is a stick, meaning authority.But his power and kingdom will be on you. On the contrary, you will conquer ! "I have written to you ... because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one "(1 John 2:14). "... and this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith " (1 John 5: 4). Let the spirit of the antichrist comes. You will not be removed, because you'll be firmly established in the truth of God's Word, worshiping with a pure heart. And your faith will overcome all that the enemy brings against you because Jesus is seated on the throne of your heart. I want to give a great weapon against the spirit of antichrist. It is found in Psalm 139 , "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts; And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting " (Psalm 139: 23-24). Hallelujah!
There are two reasons why the spirit of antichrist can beat a Christian: The First Cause by which the Spirit of Antichrist Can Beat a Believer Apostate: The Lost Love of Truth "... because they received not the love of the truth ... " (2 Thessalonians 2:10). The antichrist spirit is entered when the truth of God and is loved more, or made itself: "... that they all might be damned who believed not the truth ..." (verse 12). The prophet Jeremiah wrote: " Roam the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and inquire; seek in their seats to see if they can find a man, if there is one who does justice, who seeks truth; and I will pardon. "Although saying LORD lives, they swear falsely. O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? Have stricken them, not hurt them; consumed them, and they would not receive correction; They made their faces harder than a rock, they would not become " (Jeremiah 5: 1-3). This passage is not speaking of Gentiles, but Israel, the people of God. God is saying to Jeremiah: "Go and find me one person who has a heart that seeks truth and forgive anyone--a. More you will not find one, Jeremiah! These people say they love me, but do not receive my correction.Do not hurt when the rebuke. No longer tremble at My Word ". You may think, "I'm glad I'm not like Israel. I love the Word of God. I have not lost my love for the truth. " But I invite you to try it yourself! Let me give you three ways to determine if you have love for the truth in your heart: The first sign of a loss of love for the truth is when you stop assembling with other believers. If it's a job for you to go to church, then you have lost the love for the truth of God, " not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting and all the more as you see the Day approaching "(Hebrews 10:25).
When you crave are no longer in the house of God with His people, when you find it boring preaching and worship you do not care you've opened the spirit of antichrist. And the Lord will admonishes: "The closer you are to my coming, the more dangerous the times. And most important is that you meet with my people! ". Yet something tragic is happening throughout the United States and Canada. Pastors call us to our ministry and tell us: "We have to cancel our meeting midweek because few people showed up. We've stopped having night Sunday services because people do not come unless we project a movie or do a concert. And people do not want to come on Sunday morning if they think the meeting will last over an hour. " Where are the children of God if they are not in the Lord's house? They are in restaurants, parties, social and sporting events. More than that, they are locked in front of their televisions watching programs growing evil!
A second sign of a loss of love for the truth is when the messages of reproof make you think of the sin of someone else and not in yours.
When you hear a prophetic sermon, you sit comfortably, thinking, "Ah, yes that describes the Brother So! Thank God, finally it is being touched. Lord, give harder "? I ask you: How much, if anything, the message of this article you're applying yourself? How much is causing a stir and conviction in your heart? Are you praying: "Lord, turn Your Word in my heart?"
I urge you to attend to the words of David: "In my heart I have hidden your word not sin against thee" (Psalm 119: 11).A third sign of a loss of love for the truth is when you angry rebuke rather than humiliate. God says in an abomination to rebuke reveals a departure from the path of holiness: "The counterclaim is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way;And he who hates correction will die " (Proverbs 15:10). Maybe sometimes you go out after a sermon of reproof saying, "That word was very hard. And that preacher is too angry! "Dear, any godly pastor preached with holy zeal, and that's because he is angry with the devil, angry with the spirit of antichrist angry with all that separates your soul of true worship ! Padre
's Second Cause why the Spirit of Antichrist Can Beat a Lukewarm Christian is the love of pleasure; " That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness " (2 Thessalonians 2:12). Paul is speaking here of "mindless complacency." But he's not talking about the art world, the maddening crowds, gamblers, prostitutes, drug addicts. No, pleasure seekers in recent times referred to herein are within the church! Paul warns: "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. For men will be lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God " (2 Timothy 3: 1-4). "Blasphemous in the house of God?" Relentless questions you, what? Slanderous ¿? Are traitors? Surely not! Oh yes, absolutely! When Paul uses the phrase: "... lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ...", is implying that these people have a measure of love for God. But that love is up and polluted by a love of worldly pleasures. Paul is talking about those who pursue pleasure so sinful!
Dear, can splurge five dollars for a trip to the cinema if you want, and sit watching two hours of violence, bloodshed and blasphemy in which the name of God is freely taken in vain. But you are warned: You'll be drinking from the cup of demons, having fellowship with demons! Look, when you pay for that sort of thing, you state your commitment to the spirit of the antichrist that rules the media. God calls it a sacrifice to demons (see 1 Corinthians 10:20). Worst of all, you're inviting the antichrist spirit to your heart. And if you continue drinking from the cup of demons if you keep allowing the evil spirit of antichrist seep into your soul will not be long before anything uncomfortable, or convinced of sin. A Remnant Holy Truth Will Love!
Paul thanks God for a holy people who remains steadfast in perilous times. This holy remnant will rise against the spirit of the antichrist and will remain strong. They will never be defeated. Instead they will overcome the world, the flesh and the evil! " But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. "" And the same Jesus Christ our Lord and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal encouragement and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work " (2 Thessalonians 2: 13,17). This holy remnant loves truth. They do not mind being rejected. So they look at themselves in the light of God's Word, allowing it to penetrate to the core, and may God sanctify his mind and spirit.
Dear, if you keep your heart open to the truth if you continue to love the word of God the Lord will sustain you. And when the evil spirit of this world comes like a flood, Satan can not enter into your heart. "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which can not be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. Why not rest the rod of the wicked upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity "(Psalm 125: 1-3). The spirit of antichrist is a stick, meaning authority.But his power and kingdom will be on you. On the contrary, you will conquer ! "I have written to you ... because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one "(1 John 2:14). "... and this is the victory that has overcome the world-our faith " (1 John 5: 4). Let the spirit of the antichrist comes. You will not be removed, because you'll be firmly established in the truth of God's Word, worshiping with a pure heart. And your faith will overcome all that the enemy brings against you because Jesus is seated on the throne of your heart. I want to give a great weapon against the spirit of antichrist. It is found in Psalm 139 , "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts; And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting " (Psalm 139: 23-24). Hallelujah!
