Quite Always the double standard being exhibited tonight!
There, fixed it for you.
if they didn't have a double standard, they would have no standards at all. They can only rely on what their church says. We who have learned to walk in the Spirit, really have it pretty easy. We don't have to let a bunch of candles or rattle a bunch of beads. We don't have to rely on some dead guy to try and bend God's ear.
We know that God is in control. We can rest and rely on the Holy Spirit to do his work. Our work is to believe, and the works that we provide when we offer the Scriptures, are just one of those fruits, specifically love. So, I can just offer encouragement, and tell you that we are not alone. These Catholics are still living under bondage. We are free, free at last!
Ehesians 6 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should
Well, guys, we were all there once upon a time.
And I bet some of us fought tooth and nail before we were brought under submission to the Lord.
So, let us “count it all joy” and manifest the Spirit of the Lord to them and to others, keeping in mind who the real enemy is and that he has already been defeated.
Ephesians 6:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
God bless you all,
