Christian Psychology Or God’s Word Many make the remark: ‘Well I don’t just go to any worldly counselor or analyst, my counselor is a christian.’ They feel safe in that the word psychology has the word ‘Christian’ attached to it. It is almost as if they believe that something magical takes place, that somehow the same human weaponry that was shunned before is now holy and sanctified because the word Christian is used. The word Christian has been used over the centuries to make many things possible that would not have been possible any other way. Everything from mass murder (when the church of Rome used it to kill supposed heretics) to calling on governments to make laws and decrees that force people to do that which they do not want to do. Things like Christian rock have been used to bring the music of the world into that place that would have never let in it before, and also helped to change the look of Christians to appear more like the world and not be so (un-hip) so out of touch with life. The word Christian has been used to help people fall in love with money and things as more and more Christians become involved with the finances of the world. Churches have invested the money given to them for what was labeled as the work of God. Christian has been used by entrepreneurs to gain business they would not have others obtained. The word Christian has been used over and over again to make people believe that somehow things are now alright that would otherwise be shunned because of the evil attached to it. And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (the church) in Laodecea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation. I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot! I will spew you out of My mouth! For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing,” and do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked. Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes that you may see. Rev. 3:14-18 There are many things done because men have consoled each other with human wisdom that says ‘do it this way’ or ‘its ok, its Christian’ or ‘God will forgive you, I am sure He understands.’ But instead of telling His children to listen to human wisdom, God invites all to come up to Him and partake in His knowledge. He has invited all to sit with Him in His Kingdom and has made a Way open into heavenly places through His flesh that was torn for sin and has made each one a priest and king that will become one with Him as He is with His Father. And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together—giving us joint seating with Him—in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus, the Messiah, the Anointed One. Rev. 2:6 And formed us into a kingdom [a royal race], priests to his God and Father, to Him be glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages and forever and ever. Amen, so be it. Rev. 1:6 God did not say this as a futuristic statement of something that would be yet to take place, but is the position He has put those in who would walk and talk with Him as a friend and live within Him as He is with the Father. He did not lie to Israel when He laid before this open Door. Yet for them to be a part of this calling they must come out of darkness (the old life they used to live in sin) and now live a new perfected life (become a new creation) that no longer lived in sin but now was set free and no longer a slave. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special, peculiar people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfection’s of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. I Peter 2:9 Jesus answered them, Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:34-36 One of the obvious problems that we run into at this point is that there are so few who believe that God indeed has done what He said He came to do and that He is waiting to heal, cleanse, and purify those who will come to Him and lay ALL their cares on Him. Instead they choose a life of unrest and heavy labor because they will not believe that God is able to provide what is needed to live the life He has asked them to live. Yet that does not change God or His promises because of their unbelief. Go to this people and say, You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this peoples heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them. Acts 28:26-27 Instead of admitting that God is real and He has the power to change the life of each one who comes to Him, society and religion push with a vengeance that the answer to peace and prosperity lies in the field of psychoanalysis and pharmaceuticals. That belief has created minds that can no longer think for themselves and convinced those who call themselves God’s people to believe in such things as hypnotism (mesmerism), euthanasia (suicide), tolerance, the end justifies the means, Buddhism, Hinduism, meditation, New Age re-creationism, and a myriad of satanic beliefs that are now accepted as tools to achieve whatever is desired or thought of. Now God is no longer needed because we know how to get what we want. Yet no matter what men may do, God’s Love is eternal; yet man cannot continue to mock God and yet be saved. There comes a time and a season that all things must come to an end, where either all things become new, and sin is forever removed wherever it exists in each life or Satan becomes the master and the Door is forever shut. The question is, will we be a part of God’s Kingdom and become a new creation in Him, able to stand in His fire (His presence) or will we decide for Satan and his deceptions and find ourselves devoid of His eternal Life and left with only death and destruction? No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [that is, deceitful riches, money, possessions or what is trusted in]. Matt. 6:24 If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each mans work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. 1 Cor 3:12-15
