Chapter Five . . .

Many years ago, Morris Cerullo taught, “All truth is parallel.” This is certainly true as it relates to satan’s objectives in the invisible, spiritual world, being the same as that in the natural world. And though evil is the very opposite of good, its evangelistic operations are very similar. The problem is, saints do not realize they are not able to escape the wrath of God if they abide in the Kingdom of Heaven but perpetuate the kingdom of darkness.

Nevertheless, in God’s great house, there are vessels to honor and some to dishonor. Satan knows the only way he can destroy the Kingdom of Heaven is by destroying its inhabitants. He must do the same to them as he did to Adam and Eve. He must persuade them to agree with him. He must entice them to break fellowship with God. To accomplish this he must destroy the fellowship they have with one another.

There are saints of the Most High who promote satan’s agenda within the Kingdom of Light. It is even as Jesus said, “. . . the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, . . .”. One might wonder how it is possible for a child of God to do such things and especially to abide in iniquity.

Romans 6:18-20

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

When we walk in the righteousness of God’s Word we are free from all unrighteousness. Beloved, that same principle is true when we walk in iniquity. When we become the servants of sin we are free from the righteousness of God.

You might have wondered how it is possible for a son of God to become so corrupt in their ways until they forget they were ever once purged of their sins. Furthermore, how could they continue in such condition without remorse or repentance? Well, the answer is quite simple; they have freed themselves from righteousness. They have chosen to serve iniquity and because they are given over to the kingdom of darkness, they successfully override their conscience continuously to the point of searing it. They make themselves tares growing in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 13:40-42

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

There will be no exceptions to this great cleansing of the Kingdom of God. How is it that tares are allowed to strive in the Kingdom of God?

2 Timothy 2:19-21

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

My Word is put in the mouth of the prophets: Repent you sons of God. Turn from your wickedness and obey the Word of the Lord. The time is short and the days of patience are far spent. I will come as a rod of chastening and harsh judgments and none will escape. Repent of the evil you do, for the wicked one will not prevent me, neither will your cunning ways deceive me. Your folly has put your soul in jeopardy. Come running to me. Make haste to cry out to me for mercy and I will return unto you. My judgments are just and they are right. Humble yourselves to my will and submit to my ways. Flee the darkness of this world and come back to the light.

Shout out loud you prophets of God. Tell of a time and day when I will take away the offender and destroy all wickedness from among my people. Make them to know and understand my Word is sure and my promises are steadfast. Show them my redeeming truth. The Kingdom of Heaven has come down to you. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
