How the Lost, Self-Righteous and Evil Will Cherry-Pick Scripture to Justify Sins

The abusive man or woman, liar, back-slider, drunk, heartless, and others will sometimes look to the Bible to get selfish needs met.  They will also use God's holy word to further manipulate or control others while attempting to appear wise!  Too often, those that are easily deceived will go along with "the programming" not knowing that the Bible is being used as a weapon to divide Christians while furthering someone's sick and twisted way of thinking or personal agenda.


There are many self-righteous believers and opportunist unbelievers who will crack open the Holy Book in search of scripture to do any number of things:  feel good about his or herself, keep a partner from filing divorce, get someone or a group to give them money, play guilt trips, cause a believer to doubt his or her faith, or test Christians in the hopes that they will discredit themselves or act hypocritical.  Of course, that was just a short list of the negative things some will do to benefit from the scriptures. 


As much as we would like to think that some people mean well when approaching us about what we, as believers, say and do, there are those who are out of the will of God and angry at him for any number of things.  Unfortunately, we are the ones who contend with all sorts of foolishness.  But thanks be to God for his strength, love, grace, and more to endure!


The lost confused, reprobate, rebellious, and others, who seek to twist scripture to get what they want, unfortunately find themselves on the side of the enemy.  Angry men and women, who believe they are right for past and present deeds, will not confess sin and repent.  Instead, they prefer to argue and defend why they did what they did and why they are still doing what they do including being out of fellowship with God.  For example, a man, who has a long history of abusing women mentally, physically, and spiritually, might listen to the words of a minister for a time in order to keep a victim/partner around.  He might talk of how God hates divorce, why women should be quiet and not nag men, be submissive, etc.  Therefore, the abuser uses the Bible to keep his victim enslaved.  This form of spiritual abuse is deadly and for many they have gone to their graves prematurely.  Rather than focus on other text in the bible related to sinful acts such as: scripture that speaks about God's wrath and curses, how those that practice certain sins will not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5), and more, the focus is on the "good" scriptures and the love of God and how he hates divorce, and his forgiveness.  The devilish wouldn't want to be exposed; therefore they will try to distract their targets from the truth.


A weak-minded Christian will overlook the tricks of the enemy and begin to self-doubt as well as wonder whether advice given is solid.  At times, Satan will try to take the gullible down a path of self-destruction.  God uses men and women to speak truth as well as test them on the knowledge he has given them.  So when you have individuals around you, used by Satan, whose plans are to upset you and argue about what you know to be true, prayerfully address the issue, but avoid the argument.  Those in sin look for a dispute with a Christian so that they don't feel compelled to do anything different.

Sin: You Don't Have to Keep Doing the Things that You Do

Cut Away, Cut Off What is Constantly Tempting You to Compromise Your Faith

You say you are a Christian.  You believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  You tell others about God and share printed resources and other information about your faith.  Yet, there is just one problem, the more you talk and walk in the godly, the more the enemy comes with just one more thing that places you in a position to question whether you should or shouldn't do something that compromises your faith.

"But that's your friend...you knew these people for years...Why wouldn't you help them?  You know that if you do for them, they will look out for you."  Sound familiar?

For some of you, you may have already done some things that you wish you hadn't and felt like there is no way out of your circumstance.  You may even feel like God is not with you anymore this is why you still work to share the things of God.  But there is a way out of darkness!  Either you cut yourself off from the negative things that bind you or you wait for someone or something to expose you.  God warns us to cut certain people, places, things, habits, and more away.  He tells us to remove ourselves, to do some things differently, but do we always listen?  Sometimes we don't and we learn the hard way.

Nowadays with so many people losing spouses and children, jobs, health, material assets, and more, it can be quite tempting to want to do everything in your power to maintain position, personal fortune, connections, and more.  But does one have to sell or continue to sell his or her soul to the devil?  Absolutely not!  True believers are called to live righteously.  Those who sit in pews on Sunday know better.  We are to not only listen to the word of God, but do. 

So when you know there is something on the inside eating away at your mind, body and spirit and you do nothing about it, know that sooner or later, the work of evil will catch up to you and expose you as a fraud.  Allow the Holy Ghost, left behind by Jesus, to cleanse your mind, body and spirit this day and direct your path according to our Father's wishes.

Say this prayer:

Dear Lord,

I praise you this day and recognize your power.  I am grateful for all that you have done for me.  I know that lately I have not been living right and I ask that you have mercy on me.  Move on my spirit to do what's right.  Give me the courage to cut away or cut off what is keeping me bound in sin.  I ask that you remove the temptations of the devil far away from me.  I ask in Jesus name.  Amen.

Now that you have said the prayer aloud.  I ask that my God cover you in the blood of Jesus and that you begin to start walking righteously again.  As long as you confess and repent from sin, you have nothing to be concerned about.  Put your troubles in God's hands and leave them there!

Have a day of peace and may God bless you for taking some time to acknowledge Him!
