07-18-12 AM SEDUCTION 2 Corinthians 11 2. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Early this morning, around 3 am a voice spoke to me. This is what it said, Look and observe the great conflict in the spiritual dimension. Observe the holy angels of the most high God in battle against the forces of darkness. See, watch closely how the demonic world is being cast down into the earth. Can you sense their presence as you come and go? Have you seen how they are gaining the hearts and minds of humanity? Yes, of assurity they have an agenda to destroy all in their path, but because they reside in the shadows they remain unnoticed to the masses who are being herded together like cattle. They feed poison to all who will eat and drink. They make it sweet to the mouth but it is deadly to the soul. Look at how the people do not realize the ingredients that are being added to their diet. They have lost their way and cannot see the cliff that lies before them? But I say to you, open wide your eyes and see what is happening before you. Is the end not near at hand? Take heed to how you walk for there are many traps set before you. Don't listen to the strange voices, no matter how enticing they seem. Many powerful forces are working night and day behind the scenes in the world of religion and politics. I say again, beware of strange voices that beckon to you with promises of prosperity and an easy road to happiness. For you, it is not an easy road. You cannot rest. You must fight and above all you must be wise." Genesis 20 2. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. 3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. 4. But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? 5. Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. 6. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. 7. Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. 8. Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. 14. And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. PROTECTION Genesis 3 1. Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. THE SERPENT SEDUCTION Proverbs 7 9. In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 10. And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. 11. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: 12. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 14. I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. 15. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. 21. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; GOD’S LUST WORD 1: TO OPEN A DOOR 2: POOR GIRL, HER PARENTS FORCE HER GUIDANCE…PROTECTION…LOVE Ephesians 2 2. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. MANIPULATION…SEDUCTION…DECEIT 3: EVERYONE ELSE DOES IT 4: IT WORKS WHEN A MAN IS CONQUERED THERE IS A DESIRE TO ESCAPE THE OPPRESSOR, BUT WHEN CAPTIVATED THERE IS NO DESIRE TO BE SET FREE. CAPTIVATE: To influence and dominate by some special charm, art, or trait and with an irresistible appeal.
