TESTIMONY OF DEVILS

1. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS, invokes a seeming mismatch of words; TESTIMONY, meaning affirmation of TRUTH and DEVILS, embodiment of FALSEHOOD. The contradiction underscore popular but erroneous understanding of operation of devils; not a few will speedily conclude devils do not believe in ONE GOD, they do, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE, and tremble” [James 2:19] Take note, Satan is not at war against God but against you. Yes, there was in heaven, it was between ANGELS, “And there was WAR IN HEAVEN: MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS fought AGAINST the dragon; and the DRAGON FOUGHT and HIS ANGELS” [Revelation 12:7] Satan is errant Son, convicted and his incarceration delayed [Revelation 20:10-14] He has a little time left and does come around to present himself to God!, “Now there was a day when the SONS OF GOD CAME TO PRESENT THEMSELVES before the LORD, and SATAN CAME ALSO among them” [Job 1:6] If you will not acknowledge these basic truths, how shall you see through and prevail against TESTIMONY OF DEVILS, “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? …” [Jeremiah 12:5]
2. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS is best illustrated thus, “And there was in their SYNAGOGUE a man with an UNCLEAN SPIRIT; and he cried out, SAYING, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou JESUS OF NAZARETH? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the HOLY ONE OF GOD” [Mark 1:23-24] Watch closely, the UNCLEAN SPIRIT seemed to have TESTIFIED of Jesus, saying, “JESUS OF NAZARETH and “HOLY ONE OF GOD”. It was vintage demonic manipulation; presenting FACT as TRUTH as BAIT to DECEIVE. And how quickly Jesus shut him down, “And JESUS REBUKED HIM, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him” [Mark 1:25] DEMONS are incapable of confessing TRUTH. Compare with Jesus’s entrance to Jerusalem and the inspired chorus of the people, in agreement with Luke 2:14, “Saying, Blessed be the KING that cometh in the NAME OF THE Lord: PEACE in heaven, and GLORY in the highest” [Luke 19:38] Whereas Jesus sharply rejected the TESTIMONY OF DEVILS in Mark 1:23-24, He endorsed the WITNESS in Luke 19:38 as true reflection of the mind of God. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS promote the VISIBLE above the INVISIBLE; miracles, riches, fame, etc., above revelation of TRUTH of the FATHER in the SON which alone SAVES. It is unfortunately so through the ages that witness of TRUTH was never popular in top echelons of the Church even Jesus’ time, “And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the STONES WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT” [Luke 19:39-40] And TESTIMONY OF DEVILS had never been louder than now.
3. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS is WITCHCRAFT in the Church, working multitudes are into a frenzy of delusion, to believe LIES. The charade of falsehood is promoted and justified by enthusiastic expression of approval by victims and vaults filled with filthy spoils of earthly possessions, “… Ye are they which JUSTIFY YOURSELVES BEFORE MEN; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly ESTEEMED AMONG MEN IS ABOMINATION in the sight of God” [Luke 16:15] Is it possible to be approved of men and justified by God? I think not. We have today, as in the days of Noah, “MEN OF RENOWN” in our churches who profess to be Sons of God but speak in contrast to prophetic truth of the age even as their predecessors rejected Noah [Genesis 6:4, 13-22] When they speak, it is of earthly things, inflaming their prey with LUST, “For when they speak great swelling WORDS OF VANITY, they allure through the LUSTS OF THE FLESH, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error” [2 Peter 2:18] When they make mention of Christ, it is not to draw men to Him but to themselves; their victims are become like them and not as Jesus, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. Do men gather GRAPES of THORNS, or FIGS of THISTLES?” [Matthew 7:15-16] Look around, the harvest is ripe, FRUITS are the congregations we raised in the last 20 to 30 years; are we not as our Pastors?
4. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS is demonic power masquerading as the power of God in the Church. The classic case was Simon in Samaria, who “… BEWITCHED THE PEOPLE of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they ALL GAVE HEED, from the least to the greatest, saying, THIS MAN IS THE GREAT POWER OF GOD” [Acts 8:9-10] As long as they believed him, they were bewitched to think to approach God with abomination of TESTIMONY OF DEVILS. If I may ask, is the same tragic drama not playing out before our very eyes? Multitudes in search of deliverance and comfort are daily ensnared with sorcery to believe LIES and prophecy is fulfilled, “But evil men and SEDUCERS shall wax worse and worse, DECEIVING, and being DECEIVED” [2 Timothy 3:13] Beloved, let no man deceive you with miracles, promises of earthly riches or predictions contrary to scriptural prophetic dateline. Hold on to your profession of Christ, who is God revealed and do due diligence to be established in PRESENT TRUTH. Watch and pray, the Lord will appear without further notice to receive His BRIDE, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not PROPHESIED IN THY NAME? and in thy name have CAST OUT DEVILS? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” [Matthew 7:21-23]
