Lesson: “HOW ESTABLISHED IS THE ANTICHRIST
SPIRIT IN YOUR HEART?”
Acts 15: 7-9; John
21:17; John 18: 15-27. We are going to take a good look at Peter and how
Peter’s love became tested through the spirits of fear and shame that caused
him to reject Christ Jesus for a moment in time.
The Freedom of choice is given to us ALL by
Father God. Father God takes whatever we choose to do and uses it to bring us
into an accountable and responsible life through OUR CHOICES.
So in all that you choose today are you
choosing to be free or to be a SLAVE? If you choose wrong you’re subjecting
your self to become yoked by condemnation and judgment from people of the world!
Judgment is handed down by your choice of becoming a slave to sin or judgment
can be lifted in your choice of FREEDOM in Christ Jesus. It’s your choice to
live in Christ by dying a fleshly death that has already been paid for. There’s
NO other death that can pay for your sins, it has already been done through our
Lord God and Savior Jesus the Christ of Nazareth
You can’t lie about how you feel to a HOLY
GOD of all God’s! He’s King of kings and Lord of lords there’s nothing He does
not know about; when it comes to you and your wicked thinking do to old set
backs and hurts that has distorted the TRUTH of Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s Love
for you and your family.
Let’s look at Acts 15:7-9 NLT bible v7 “Peter
stood and addressed them as follows: “Brothers, you all know that God chose me
from among you some time ago to preach to the Gentiles so that they could hear
the Good News and believe.” A`-men! Here is conformation in God’s Word
pertaining to Peter look at John 21:17 Here Simon son of John, was asked three
times by Jesus a question that grieved Peter because it was asked three times!
The question was Simon son of John; “Do you love me?”
Why was this question “Do you love me” asked three times by Jesus to Peter? Was it for Jesus sake of certainty or for the certainty of Peter? Jesus knew of Peters love for Him was true but Jesus also knew Peter was a fleshly man that could very easily run away if the job Jesus was calling him to became to hard or to offensive. Jesus needed Peter to feed His sheep the Living Word of the gospel to the Gentiles and that time was nearing.
Jesus needed Peter to become searched of all
malice and fears that would cause Peter to deny Him as Lord of his life and as
a follower; a servant of the Lord our God. In Romans 13:10-14 the Word speaks
of “Love worketh no ill (evil) to his neighbor. Therefore love is the
fulfilling of the law.”
No love! Is an inner malice that lies
within a person! Rottenness within is directed outwardly to your neighbor. Let’s look at the word malice from 1Peter 2:1-3. “Malice”
means badness, depravity, malignity, or trouble. The Greek word for evil is
used 11 times in the New Testament to indicate that wickedness which comes from
within a person (verse 16; Rom. 1:29; Eph. 4:31; Titus 3:3).
The word “Guile” in 1Peter 2:1 means trick,
craft, or deceit. Here is how the antichrist spirit works in our fleshly
un-purged hearts and mind. We all know a few hypocrites, and pray that we will
not be among their number. They pretend to be believers, but have not really
given up their worldly ways.
The question of LOVE for Christ Jesus will be
put to you; will you pass the fiery test of your love for Christ Jesus as a
called servant of the Lords? No one likes to get burned but fire is what it
takes to eliminate things permanently! A spiritual thing that does not belong
in your godly character must be dealt with. God’s love is a Spiritual Fire to
birth change in you so when you say yes to Him; He needs you to know and
understand you can’t go back to doing YOU; because when you say yes you’ll
never be the same ever again once you say yes three times there’s a
resurrection in Christ Jesus of Nazareth! Loyalty must be established in
your own heart of hearts. “You see, you can be willing fleshly, but not ready spiritually!”
You see Peter had once
told Jesus that he would never deny Him; but Jesus told Peter that before the
cock crows; three times you would deny me; but Peter could not phantom that
thought in his natural mind at the time Jesus spoke of this Truth! Look at John
18:15-27 please read and see how fear and shame cause an inward persecution too take hold of your heart and give witness
of the antichrist which had entered in for a moment in Peter’s soul of thoughts to
only be used by Jesus as a mirror reflection to show Peter how he looked under
the hand of persecution as an onlooker and follower of Christ our Lord.
The antichrist spirit is
very subtle and sneaky. It wants to over power, to conquer your emotions and
feelings to cause you to feel spiritually murdered within your own self
perception of being a slave to Christ Jesus of Nazareth
