· (160d) Works of the devil Ø Essential characteristics Ø Satan’s attitude determines our direction Ø Led by the devil Ø Led by the devil to suppress the word of God -- One recent example of demonic activity manifested in the church is the “laughter” doctrine that swept the nation’s Pentecostal and Charismatic denominations. It was taken from the book of Acts chapter two after a large crowd had gathered, the saints began prophesying in languages they had never learned. Peter stood up in verse 15 and explained, “these men are not drunk, as you suppose…” The church today wants desperately to walk in the power of God to be vindicated from their critics (who rightly claim they’re in the business of religion), but instead of waiting for God to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh as it says in the book of Joel 2:28,29 or fostering the power of God through a contrite heart, they manually produce the manifestations of the spirit and attribute their strange behavior to God. I personally walked into several churches during this era of religious insanity and saw people staggering around the sanctuary, laughing hysterically, while others were speaking in strange tongues, but none that were intelligible. In other words, there was no edification from this supposed manifestation of the Spirit, even though edification is always the goal of the Holy Spirit, which proves this laughter movement to be false. What they failed to understand was that they put their reputation on the line when they went with this laughter doctrine. What was making them laugh? The ghoulish truth is this so-called spiritual movement was actually orchestrated by demons. The other troublesome part of this is that they assumed it was impossible to determine the origins of their madness, inadvertently admitting that they had an unprovable faith. They must have thought this would lead to a vast spiritual revival, forgetting about the verse in James 4:7-10, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” KJV

· (204d) Denying Christ Ø Man chooses his own destiny apart from God Ø Back-slider Ø Practicing sin Ø The apostasy –  The church in Europe is not being persecuted, because it is mealy and impotent. Neither man nor demon has a motive to persecute it. However, the church is being persecuted in other parts of the world, some people to the death. The church in America is not being persecuted either, and we say it is because we are a Christian nation, and we have no reason to persecute ourselves, but the church in America is just as mealy and impotent as the European church. Therefore, not even Satan has a motive to persecute the church in America.
