The Demons believe and tremble to... So what makes us so different ? We have invited Jesus to come and live His life in and through us. We have, literally, invited Him into our hearts. We have become a new creature that has put on Christ...the incorruptible...by the word of God: "This is what makes us so different from the demons that believe and tremble" We now have Christ's love one for another.... (Christ's love is the only real love there is). 1 Peter 1:22 22. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: "This is what makes us so different:" 23. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. "This is what makes us so different, we are born again and joint heirs with Christ." James 2:19,20 19. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. It is not just mere believing but it is by their fruits that you shall know them. Can a corrupt tree bear good fruit ? No.... Would a Christian attack another Christian and defame their good name and ministry? Absolutely not ! Would a Christian lie or plant seeds of doubt about you to others ? No.... That is from the spirit of error and they are not of the seed of Christ. They are like the demons that also believe and tremble. They come in amongst us proclaiming they know God, when in fact they do not. Their fruits will show who they are. And: for of the abundance of the heart their mouth speaketh. We are not to exchange railing for railing 1 Peter 3:9 9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. So we pray for them, we ask God to have mercy on those who cause these offenses against us. We do not curse them: "This is what makes us so different from the demons that believe and tremble" Luke 6:43,45 43. For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 45. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh: "This is what makes us so different from the demons that believe and tremble" Can a Christian hate another Christian ? ...No ! But rather we are to eschew (hate) evil not the person. Else how can we say we love God who we have not seen and hate our brother who we have seen ? 1 Peter 3:11 11. ESCHEW (hate) EVIL, AND DO GOOD; LET HIM SEEK PEACE, AND ENSUE (pursue) IT. 1 John 4:20,21 20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen ? 21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also: "This is what makes us so different" They will know us by our love. 1 John 3:15 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. *It is the love that makes us different than the devils that believe. It is the works and fruits of the Spirit of Christ, through us, that sets us apart.* Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:1,3: 1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, (LOVE) I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 3.And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (Love) it profiteth me nothing. JAMES 2:20,24 20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead ? Skipping to vs 24 24. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. "So, then, if you are being judged by those who are not of the faith, and yet call themselves Christian, rest assured that it is not you who caused anything. The spirit of error seeks to undermine your ministry and your faith." "Continue to speak as the oracles of God with the same fervor as you have always ministered in, and let not your heart be troubled." Remember, even demons believe and tremble: Many people will say that they believe to... they may even tremble as well....It does not mean that they have the seed of Christ in them. These are the ones who attack you for no reason. (Do not wonder why any longer). Satan is the destroyer of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through you...they battle God, Himself, when they attack you. For it is written: "Touch not mine anointed." Psalms 105:15 15. Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Luke 4:18,19 18. THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKEN- HEARTED, TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED, 19. TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD. Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter in. We must strive to enter in at the straight gate. Luke 13:24,25,26,27 24. Strive to enter in at the straight gait: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26. Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know ye not whence ye are; depart from me, ye workers of iniquity. 1 Peter 4:11 11, If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. "All of this is what makes us so different from the demons who believe and tremble" Thank you for taking time to read this. May this article bless your heart as it did mine as the Lord gave it.
