Church Workers Walking In Strange Spirits
1.The local church is a spiritual house, inhabited by God’s own Spirit. (1Peter 2:5) It comprises of those who have been transformed and changed within by the Spirit of the Lord. (1 Corinthians 3: 16-17) Each one who has been changed, redeemed, transformed and reborn within by the Spirit of the Lord assembled together as the local congregation of the Lord in a locality.
2.Furthermore, the best metaphor to describe the local church is an ARMY BARRACK, not a moving bus/coach or celebration center. As an army barrack, each believer is an army, to fight spiritual battles, by “putting on the whole armour of the Lord“...for we wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:10-12)
3.As an army barrack, the local church is to function in Recruitment, Training, Equipping, Empowerment, Enablement, Restoration, Release and Renewal of her army and officers in every spiritual sense. “No man that warreth entangled the himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier”.( 2 Timothy 2:4)
A biblical local church must train and equip her believers as army of righteousness to “fight the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6 12) with the weapons of Gospel truth, Christlike lifestyle, Holy Spirit power, Name of Jesus, warfare prayers, Intercession, blood of Jesus, gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit.
4.Each local church, with her leaders and members are to “walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16,17) And that implies a consistent walk in and with the Lord by His Spirit, since we are born of the Spirit and must be conversant with the guidance and operations of the Spirit of the Lord in each of our lives. For it is then we shall be free from carnal things and sinful, lustful living.
5.And because most modern pastors and church leaders don’t know nor live by these Spiritual standards, they can’t train their churches, therefore majority of church members today walk and live by strange spirits. Most church members and workers today doesn’t walk in the Spirit, but in the flesh and carnal tendencies. “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” (1 Corinthians 2:14)
6.Man is essentially a spirit being, housed in a physical body- a temporary dwelling place. (2 Peter 1:13-15) Man is a spirit that will never die, even though he can leave this body after physical death. It is that spirit of man that gets born again, changed, transformed and infused with the life, light and liberation of Christ at the point of genuine repentance and encounter with Christ, not the physical body. And when church members, workers, ministers don’t experience such encounter with Christ and yet they are made ministers inside the church, then they come with all kinds of evil and demonic spirits into the church!
7.Fundamentally, there are only three kinds of spirits in the world,
(a) Spirit of God- Genesis 1:3
(b) spirit of man-Proverbs 20:27
(c) spirit of devils- Ephesians 2:2
Outside the Holy Spirit of God, sinners walks in the other two spirits, and they manifest in various kinds of spirits I have seen and known that permeate the inside of many local churches today:-
*spirit of deception- 1timothy 4:1
*spirit of disobedience-Ephesians 2:2
*spirit of lying/stealings-1tim.4:3
*spirit of lust/ immoral pervasions
*spirit of rebellion/ disloyalty
*spirit of mammon- worship of money
*spirit of religiousness- Isaiah 58:1-6; 1:10-18
*spirit of wickedness
*spirit of violence
spirit of worldly conformity- 1john 2:15-17
spirit of idol worship- 1corithians 10:14
All these spirits will combine to introduce every kind of sins, transgressions, iniquities, corruptions and pollutions inside the church until there will be much evil happenings inside the church than from outside, which is the daily experience of many local churches today. The word of God will become powerless and preachers/pastors will practice evil doings.
8.Once a local church is not walking in the Holy Spirit and helping her members to grow into committed disciples of Christ, she will be invaded with these evil spirits and that church will be polluted from within. And the Holy Spirit will leave that church and everything will be done in a carnal, sinful, ungodly and fleshly ways. It will all be carnal ceremonies, celebrations, dancing, singing, comedians and motivational talks in the flesh.
9.Way out? Both pastors and members must go back to genuine repentance, spiritual warfare, binding, renouncing of demonic presences in their lives and congregations and seeking the fresh presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives and churches!
