* Some of the instruments God uses to bring destruction to disobedient church people.


Comments by Joan Boney:

For those people in church groups who love the form of godliness but do not love the actual Word of God, God prepares HIS instruments of destruction.

God can use evil angels to lead those people in ways of destruction:

Psalm 78:49  HE cast upon them the fierceness of HIS anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

These evil angels carry messages which seem to be from God but are not from God.

Paul spoke of this in the following:

Galatians 1:8-9  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, If any preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

A divorced woman came to a non-denominational church group and pretended to be a regular single woman.  She was looking for an husband.  And she ignored scriptures concerning divorce and remarriage.

I Corinthians 7:39   The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

Romans 7:1-3   Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.  So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

I believe God shows me this woman (who is no longer living) brought destruction upon herself and the man who married her who committed adultery by marrying this divorced woman.

Matthew 5:32   Jesus said:  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

We have example in Bible of God using "a lying spirit" to destroy king Ahab.

I Kings 22

20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.

22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?

And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. 

And HE (God) said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

***

God brings a strong delusion upon people who will not love the truth.

II Thessalonians 2:10-12   And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

***

Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

***

James 1

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love HIM.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth HE any man:

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
