Without Honor

They looked the other way! They decided not to get involved! They were afraid to act! They deferred their responsibility to others! They refused to acknowledge the obvious! They simply were people without honor.

I find the recent tragedy at a Florida high school to be a commentary on American culture. Our culture is weak because Americans are weak. Far too many ‘dropped the ball’ by not taking responsibility in stopping a young man that is indeed not only mentally disturbed but under the control of Satan. I wonder how many Christians knew this young man yet did not offer him deliverance from the demons inside of him through the power of Jesus Christ?

This is why Jesus exercised a “deliverance ministry” and commanded His disciples to do the same. Evil has no power over God’s church—at least, that is what the Bible says. If the Church does not stand up and accept the responsibility to confront evil and speak deliverance to individuals under the control of the devil, then we have no honor and should not be called by Christ’s name. (To murder for pleasure is Satan inspired and directed.)

There are signs of demon possession and being control of the devil. However, the Church too often defers their judgment to professionals or ‘the educated’. They will never be able to stand against Satan nor give those who are in trouble the deliverance they need or are seeking after if they choose not to act.

How much longer, Church, are you going to be a church without honor? How much longer are you going to turn your back on those in spiritual need? When are you going to exercise the authority Christ has given to you to “destroy the works of the devil?”

Christians need not call themselves Christians unless they do the works of Christ. God says that unless we keep the commandments of Christ we do not nor can we love God and love each other. I am bold in stating, “There is no honor if we do not exercise the power of Christ and destroy the works of the devil. Honor requires courage and sacrifice. It is God who seeks those who worship Him to honor Him through “doing” the works of Christ and the Holy Spirit.”

What would Jesus want me to do?
