Are You Ready For The Cults?

Ephesians; 6:12
(For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places.)

Have you ever thought about the battle you face when the cults come knocking at your door? Do not underestimate their preparedness. They spend months in preparation for their journey to your front door. They practice role playing and are trained to trick you up in certain passages in the Bible. That is why we are told to be in the Word of God so that we are not easily deceived. The cults believe that they have the truth and they are willing to debate you on your beliefs.

The good thing is that we have the Holy Spirit to lead us into all the truths of the Bible. The world does not have the Holy Spirit because He is sent by the Father to all who believe and have put their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.
John; 14:16-17
(And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him , for He dwells with you and will be in you.)

When you confront the false teaching of the cults, you can be easily deceived if you don't know the truth of Gods word. Going to church once a week or so will not prepare you for the battle you will encounter with the cults. They are thoroughly prepared to do battle. The false religions of the world have a strong leader (Satan) and he has a very strong army (demons). God has not left us alone to fight the battle.
1John; 4:4
(You are of God. little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.)
Here protection against error or victory over it are guaranteed by sound doctrine and the indwelling Holy Spirit who illumines the mind.

Have you put on the whole armor of God? Are you daily studying the Word of God? If not, you are setting yourself up for defeat when the cults come knocking at your door. God has given us the Scriptures to reveal the truth and it is our responsibility to read them and study them. It will be hard to refute false doctrine if you don't have the truth in your mind for recall. Be in the Word and ask God to teach you the truths from His Word.

God Bless You!
