Can somebody help me with these verses
Matt 7:22-23: 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 wonders And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jock, there is a false-religious spirit that misleads people and works lying signs and wonders. Many of the people
do not know what they are doing..and do not know Christ... these workers of 'iniquity" as sons of
perdition...are done away with at the 'breath of His coming in judgement' when He sends them[lying spirits] off
these mislead people..have iniquity in their judgement...they will claim great glory for themselves
weighing great grace unto themselves...and deny it to other's. unjust judges lacking true judgement
for they do not know Him.
when the sons of thunder asked if they should call down fire from heaaven on the heads of those
who refused to receive them...Jesus said 'Ye know not what spirit ye are of"
these lying spirits that sit in the temple[man's bodies] of God and claim they are God..coz desolation
to His house...they mislead many men..who beleive this spir4it is God. they do not treaat the flock
with tenderness..are false shepherds..clouds without rain etc[Jude]
also Jock..the Lord must send these lying misleading spirits off..so that He as the true Shepherd may lead
mankind to the kingdom prepared for them. Ezekiel 34 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down
I will rescur my flock from their mouths.....I will shepherd the flock with justice[not iniquity/fals3e balance
weight/measure of grce] Must my flock feed on what you have trampled and drink what you have
muddied with your feet?
That's helpful Shiela. WE must be armed to deal with spiritual wickedness.
Cheers
Jock :Peace2:
Amen!!! ..also I believe at His return, many who have professed to be believers will wonder why they were not part of the 1st resurrection and meeting the Lord in the air as He approached the planet (at Jerusalem at Mount of Olives- Zech 14:4). They believed themselves, perhaps, to be part of the inner circle, and want to be part, at that time, of Jesus' inner circle, so to speak, at the time, which of course is those who will 'reign' with Him for the millenium, which i think means we will be working with Him.. (also during the long, or what seems to me, must be a very long day of judgment, after all not having come to the faith (yet) have been resurrected from their graves, but i think i'm wandering).
Not being part of that inner circle, Jesus tells them, no... I'm sorry.. says depart from Him.. won't be given access to Jerusalem/the inner circle (during that age).. as we know there are verses which say there will be survivors of late day events upon earth during the millenium, it even says, I believe, life span will be extended.
:Peace2: :smile:
Hi all , I am jumping in here lol , sorry , but also somthing helpful to me was when Jesus spoke of those ''boasting '' before men , on what all the good they done , not giving God the glory , but sounding before men , that is their reward , praises of men
a self righteous attitude , '''Being of look at the all we are doing '' like Shelia said its a form of spriritual pride , to be honored before men as ''holy ''
those having the form of ''godliness but deny '' the true power !! that being Christ in God doing the works , remember without Him we are nothing ! , proof of the fruit is in the root , we are to be rooted and grounding in Love of Christ to God, to be in the ''Body of Christ '' the True Church that is Alive , doing the living works of the Father , not those ''dead works '' Hebrews 6
AMEN!! Rose.........

Depart from me, I never knew you, you evil doers who preached The Doctrine of Hell.
Those that use God's name to seem important and knowledgable etc, not only take God's name in vain but are ignorant of their own need for a Saviour
I think that Peter had the right heart when he said to Yeshua
.But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!"
I can relate to that

I never knew (had intimate fellowship with) you- amen
Many Christians (hypocrites, like many Arminianists) that DAY (in 2nd resurrection) will be shocked from Jesus' words: Depart from me, I never knew you!
notice they have done many things like preaching the Gospel (Believe in the Lord Jesus and he will save you from eternal hell), what a bad news!
satan is winning hands down by taking trillions into hell :eek:
Satan: God messed up by creating these, next one :LH:
No, Children of God will not be cast into the lake of fire to be tormented day and night forever and ever, otherwise: Heil Hitler! :laugh:
"Many will be declaring to Me in that day, 'Lord! Lord! Was it not in Your name that we prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many powerful deeds?' And then shall I be avowing to them that 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, workers of lawlessness!'" (Matthew 7:22,23)
"Many will need to read this passage twice, for it is the popular conviction that any one who can prophesy or cast out demons and do other supernatural deeds is necessarily in the highest intimacy with God. Many will claim these powers, yet He refuses to acknowledge them. In itself supernaturalism is no index of divine activity, for the powers of evil win their greatest triumphs in mimicking the manifestations of the holy Spirit." (Concordant Commentary on the New Testament page 19)
yes,these lying sign works ofthe devilwill beburntup,along with the lying demons/spirits who
performed them..when Jesus cas tthem out of the resurrected 'righteous man..who receives the free
gift' Heis saving that man as through fire.....and seperating that man[righteous/wicked2 resurrection]
like sheep/goats seperated. andthe boasting will stop... and ahumbled man will remain......
saved as though through fire[God's judgement on demons and the worksofthedevil]
suffering the loss o fwhat he thought he had[righteous works inthe nameof the Lord]
my thoughts
Thanks folks for your wise replies.
I was involved in Pentecostal/Charismatic churches for a long time but then I left because I couldn't stand it any more. It was an "emotion-fest"!
Then I was involved with some house churches who were good on some things but they believe they are the "only ones". I left under a cloud and I was terrified of going to hell because I thought for sure that God hated me and was going to kill me because I had left there. I think I have gone through PTSD since.
It was the revelation that there is no hell and that there are people who can minister to me, that a healing began to take place. I have not read my Bible for 5 years though because any verse that even hints at damnation still has an effect on me. The Christian religion can really mess a person up.
Thanks to all for being here
Jock. :winkgrin:
"The Christian religion can really mess a person up" because it is based on fear rather than the love of God as revealed in the word of God. An accurate translation is not about "damnation" because it reveals the overwhelming love of God that reconciles all on earth and in the heavens. I came out of the Roman Catholic Church when I was young, and I spent some time in "Pentecostal/Charismatic churches" too. You're right about them being an "emotion-fest." You don't have to be "terrified of going to hell" and keep suffering with "PTSD" as a result of the condemnation of church folks because their doctrine is a lie. God's love will give you peace.
"the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control" (Galatians 5:22,23)

For me too, Jock. PTSD is often only a troubling scripture away. A return to that gut wrenching, all-encompassing fear that robs the peace that we first knew IN Christ.
Colleen, I concur, but I know that fear is never of God, perfect love is! The Lord is teaching me not to trust my feelings, but to cast faith in the things He has spoken. Sometimes these spirits come with their threats and sometimes the Lord will bail me out by reminding me of the truth, but I am learning to put them away myself.
It's not easy at times, being here at TM helps though :dsunny:

Brother, don't doubt, and don't fear. Those are nothing by diversionary tactics of the Adversary who is most effective coming at you through church doctrine.
"Fear is not in love, but perfect love is casting out fear, for fear has chastening. Now he who is fearing is not perfected in love." (1 John 4:18)
Don't trust your "feelings" because they are simply soulful sensations.
"by faith are we walking, not by perception" (2 Corinthians 5:7)
"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, And do not lean to your own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5)
"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messengers, nor sovereignties, nor the present, nor what is impending, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord." (Romans 8:38,39)
"11 Put on the panoply of God, to enable you to stand up to the stratagems of the Adversary,
12 for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials.
13 Therefore take up the panoply of God that you may be enabled to withstand in the wicked day, and having effected all, to stand.
14 Stand, then, girded about your loins with truth, with the cuirass of righteousness put on,
15 and your feet sandaled with the readiness of the evangel of peace;
16 with all taking up the large shield of faith, by which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery arrows of the wicked one.
17 And receive the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is a declaration of God." (Ephesians 6:11-17)
The sword of the spirit is the word of God. That is your weapon for spiritual warfare. Don't be deceived into thinking the powers of darkness have an advantage because they don't. The Adversary's method of operation is deception. So know the word of God to know the truth, and you won't be deceived. An don't try to overcome evil by yourself, bro. The spirit of God which is the power of God is the way to do it. Believe me. I speak from experience. I've overcome some heavy duty battles in my life only by the power of God. God's love is the most powerful force in the universe that overcomes all. I don't care what you're talking about. There's nothing that God's love can't overcome. Get into the inspired written word of God to be empowered with the spirit of God. That will dispel your fear.
Great stuff Tom. You have reminded me of the many things I already knew.
I remember Watchman Nee saying that God does not want for us to gain new ground but to stand fast and hold the ground He has already given us.
Cheers bro
Jock. :iagree:

Sweet
Great posts, Tom. :thumbsup:
Colleen,
A fine Irish name! I know you are suffering, maybe because of past religious affiliations?! Same here.
I want to encourage you, with a verse of scripture:
Micah 6:8 He hath declared to thee, O man, what is good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except -- to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God?
That is all that God requires of you. Know too that any voice that speaks to you with condemnation and threats is never the Christ Like Spirit. Jesus denounced those things, and He still does.
Blessings
Jock. :dsunny:
