Along Came the devil...

I'm living the best time since God freed and anointed me. This week i came to understand things that for 10 years i prayed about and never understood: The work of the devil inside the church! Years ago, i was in a church were we started to pray and worship God, there was prayer everyday in the church, after a while we saw God's Glory being revealed among us, unfortunately, we were all "babies", including the pastor (leader), because we failed to identify satan there, he managed to break the "spiritual unity" we had, at that time i identified other demons but never got to identify the devil himself. One morning (i used to deliver newspapers early morning), God told me that i was the "watchman" in that church, i had no clue what God was talking about. When i got home and opened my Bible (i used to do that almost every day), the text was this one: Ezekiel 33:1-7. To be honest with you, after reading this passage i was scared to death, i was 100% sure that God was talking to me, but at the same time it was "crazy", too hard to believe! Well, after that, God gave me a gift called "discerning of spirits". Discerning a spirit means that you know what type of spirit is at work: The Holy Spirit, the spirit of men or demons. Unfortunately, as it is a spiritual gift, you don't see the spirit (obviously), but the Holy Spirit reveals to your spirit what's the source. Sometimes it's extremely hard to discern what spirit is it. E.g.: 2 Corinthians 11:14. Paul is saying here that satan will "disguise" himself as an angel of light, he used to be lucifer (angel of light), now he is an angel of darkness, he is the prince of darkness, he is saying that if we don't discern correctly, we will think that is an angel of God and not satan. This week i had an encounter with satan himself, first God told me that in the church there was a spirit opposing worship, meaning, he was trying to "divert" the worship that was going to God to himself. At first, i thought that was just another demon messing around like i "saw" many times, but when he was being expelled from the person (man), he said he was the "spirit of antichrist". Well, this is what John the apostle wrote about antichrists: 1 John 2:18-22. It's a long story, but satan was only expelled by the pastor (leader of the church), after the third time. Why it took so long? Well, i was there the second time, during that time, i talked to my brother in Georgia (i live in Illinois), and he said that we would be wasting our time if we didn't deal with the demon that was in control (the authority), so when the pastor dealt with satan the third time, he had to go. Now this man, a close friend and brother in Christ, is completely free, God has something big for him and his family. The reason i'm writing this, is to tell you that when we have TRUE WORSHIP in our church no demon can resist it, when the Light of Jesus Christ, the Glory of God shines in our midst, satan has to "show himself", he no longer can be hiding in the "closet"! The problem today in our churches is that we have EVERYTHING but TRUE WORSHIP! It's like this: We have to rebuild the ALTAR OF THE LORD, which is the place where the GLORY OF GOD WILL BE REVEALED. Its like the ALTAR ELIJAH REBUILT (repaired): 1 Kings 18:30. Only after REPAIRING THE ALTAR OF THE LORD, was that Elijah was able to OFFER SACRIFICE TO THE LORD. The sacrifice today is WORSHIP! If we want to see the Glory of God in our midst, WE MUST RESTORE THE ALTAR OF THE LORD TO BE ABLE TO OFFER HIM A SACRIFICE OF WORSHIP! John 4:23. Unfortunately our "churches" became EVERYTHING BUT a place of TRUE WORSHIP TO THE LORD, even when the Altar started to be restored in some places, after a while, people started worshiping the Altar instead of worshiping the LORD. This is a prophecy: There is a TRUE REVIVAL coming to LAKE COUNTY, ILLINOIS, but will only happened where there is TRUE WORSHIP. We started seeing it in our church, that's why satan was there working so hard to destroy our SPIRITUAL UNITY, before as a "watchman", i failed to identify him, THANKS TO THE LORD now i could identify him and i know if we REPAIR THE ALTAR OF WORSHIP TO THE LORD we will see THE GLORY OF THE LORD IN OUR MIDST and MANY PEOPLE WILL COME TO BE SET FREE, TO BE HEALED, TO BE SAVED. THERE WILL BE A "GREAT HARVEST" VERY SOON, MANY SOULS WILL BE SAVED, BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE WORLD WILL BE A CHAOS! JESUS CHRIST IS RETURNING SOON, ARE YOU PREPARED?
