BEWARE OF THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God – 1 Corinthians 2:12

There’s the Spirit of God, and there’s also the spirit of this world. The Spirit of God helps us to obey God, but the spirit of the world causes us to disobey God and obey satan. Christians who disobey God are all led by the spirit of this world.

The spirit of the world is satan himself, who is the god of this world. This spirit causes Christians to love the world and the things of this world. Homosexuality, abortion, divorce, feminism, fornication, drinking, clubbing, lying, stealing, materialism and many other worldly vices are now in the Church because of this spirit.

If we were led by the Holy Spirit we would be holy as He is holy. We would turn our backs on sin and follow the Lord Jesus Christ. We would walk as He walked. It’s time to cast the spirit of this world out of our lives. For what shall it profit us to gain the whole world but in the end lose our souls?

PRAYER

Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, help me to resist the spirit of the world and the temporal things of this world. Help me to set my sights on the Kingdom to come and live in time with eternity in mind. Amen.
