It seems the other Christians are filled with every good thing but we are afflicted. It appears the other Christians are prosperous while we are poor. They are fruitful but we are barren.

Sounds like Job, Sarah, Hannah, and Jeremiah. But it is the barren who end up as the new Jerusalem while those who were not called to such crucifixion do not attain such resurrection.

And then there is the synagogue of Satan.

I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

The synagogue of Satan consists of imitation Christians. They say they are God's elect but they are not.

At one time Satan, a cherub, covered the Throne of God with his wings. He was always in the midst of the Shekinah, the Glory of God's Presence.

He fell because of self-centeredness. Now he no longer can experience the Shekinah, the joy and peace of the Lord God.

Therefore Satan always goes to the most fervent assembling of Christians he can find, because the Shekinah is there. Satan wants to sing, dance, revel in the Presence, speak in tongues, work miracles, prophesy. This atmosphere was his environment for untold ages. Now he can only experience God's blessing secondhand.

We Christians are so immature we cannot perceive Satan's presence among us.

But Satan is bound with the spirit of accusation, of gossip, of slander. Therefore he looks for the believers who have never counted themselves dead with Christ. They are very much alive as adamic personalities while they are rejoicing in the Presence of God.

Because these believers are alive in the adamic personality they are a vehicle Satan can use to express his desire to gossip, to accuse, to slander. This is why there is so much gossip, accusation, and slander in the Christian churches.

The prophets always are murdered by Israel. The common people heard Jesus gladly and gave glory to God. But the priests and elders murdered Him because Satan was in them and envied the Divine Glory that Jesus enjoyed.

From the time Cain murdered Abel, the people who really know the Lord have been murdered by those who envied their relationship to God.

He who departs from wickedness always become the prey of religious people.

Whenever God moves, those who are part of the previous move cry, "This is the devil!"

In spite of the obvious Presence of God in the Pentecostal churches for the last century, there still are Christians who say, "Tongues are of the devil."

It is the devil who is saying "tongues are of the devil" because the devil is compelled by his nature to slander the work of God.

God is moving today. He is restoring the original Gospel of the Kingdom of God. He is stressing righteous behavior, holiness, truth.

Some Pentecostal people are slandering what God is doing. This is because they have never been crucified with Christ or risen with Him. They are imitators. Christ does not know them. They are of the synagogue of the accuser of the brothers.

To be continued.
