Wide Road of Destruction

Today the Holy Spirit gave me a vision. He showed me a Wide Road and a Narrow Road. As I looked at the Wide Road I could see some writing on it. It said, “Jesus, Me and it included a sin or something that a person didn’t want to let go of.” The Narrow road said, “Jesus and Me.” The reason the wide road was wide was because on that road people were including an idol they didn’t want to let go of or a sin. They wanted to include it alongside the way Jesus would have us live. In other words, on the wide road, they were eating off two tables. They were eating from the delicacies of the world and the table of God. They were serving two masters. They were incorporating Jesus into their lifestyle of sin and still doing the church thing. Sadly, I’ve been on this wide road. I lived a life I thought was a Christian lifestyle but I was also living in sin. I didn’t think it was a sin because everyone in the church was doing it. What am I talking about? Getting married and remarried. It's adultery. Before anyone starts to feel condemned I just want to say that whatever you have done God will forgive you. You just need to confess it, repent of it and crucify that lifestyle in baptism; more on that later.

I want to tell you that I almost went to hell because I thought I could live for God any way that I wanted to. I walked on that wide road of destruction until the Holy Spirit showed me what hell looked like and showed me that I was standing at the wide gate of destruction. The Holy Spirit literally had to shout to my spirit "Repent and get baptized and come out of the apostate church!" This shook me to my very core. For five nights I trembled under the heavy hand of God. I was living a lie. I was living in a fake reality called a delusion. What’s so alarming about this is that many reading this are under that same false reality. You really think you are going to heaven while secretly engaged in sin. You think that God does not see, or is somewhat okay with it because you’ve been getting away with it for so long. You may be fooling everyone else but you are not fooling God. If you are reading this and are playing games with God, or think you can sin and still go to heaven I'm here to tell you that you're dead wrong. Jesus warns us of being deceived. The truth is that I never thought it could happen to me. Pride and self-righteousness blinded me to the truth. By God’s mercy I woke up. Tragically many won’t. The Wide Road offers the perks of Christianity while still actively engaged in sin. Jesus said, “Whoever finds his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], and whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake will find it [that is, life with Me for all eternity].” Matthew 10:39 What we do for God will never make up for obedience. God’s power on your life is not God’s approval on your life.

Listen friends, I had to become broken in my heart about what I had been doing. I had to realize I was going to stand before a holy God. I had to tremble in my heart and knees. Though our righteousness is through faith in Christ we still need to crucify the flesh. “And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature together with its passions and appetites. Galatians 5:24 What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? 2 Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer? 3 Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” Romans 6:1-3 Just like many of you, no one told me I need to get buried and crucified with Jesus. I only became a professing Christian because baptism was only symbolic. However, after this encounter around three years ago, I was crucified with Christ and am now being sanctified by His grace. I am being transformed and renewed in my mind. Every day I ask God to dismantle fear from my life and perfect me in His love. This is why I could even write this. I fear God more than fear anyone who will read this and judge me for it. I don’t care. I know there are going to be many people who the Lord is going to convict who read this. I’m praying it will literally make you stop dead in your tracks look down and see what road you’re on. I pray that you will then change your mind (repent) about what you are doing and turn around. If the Holy Spirit is speaking to you and convicting you please let me know so you too can repent and get baptized. Whoever you are please turn around and walk towards God because hell is real. Heaven is better. Don't believe the lie that you have more time. You don’t know when you will die and appear before Him. Come back to Jesus asap!

Let us pray: Jesus I feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit and I bow my head in humility. Forgive me for being so arrogant to think that I can live by different rules or somehow your Word does not apply to me. That somehow my ministry, talents, or gifts are God's approval on my life. Lord, I repent for ______and I ask you to forgive me. I forgive all those who have hurt me and transgressed against me. Holy Spirit I repent of all pride and self-righteousness, open my eyes to anything that offends you. Lord deliver me from all demonic influence and strongholds in Jesus' name! Set me free from all oppression and heal my heart from all brokenness. Lord, help me find someone who will baptize me. I’m ready to surrender and die so that my life might be hidden in you. In Jesus' name, Amen! If you need to get baptized please call me or message me. I will set up an appointment. Love Jaziz Gutierrez

Seduction Exposed!

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;...1 Timothy 4:1 KJV

In letter to Timothy, Apostle Paul warns of a time in the future when people were going to depart from the faith for two key reasons. First, they would depart because they gave heed to seducing spirits, and secondly because they gave heed to doctrines of devils. Our focus will be the seducing spirits or the spirit of seduction. When you look at the word seducing in the Greek it means exactly what it says. Seduction or seducing is the persuasion to disobedience or disloyalty, to be led away by false promises, to be enticed to sexual desire by arousing hope or desire by artful attraction. To bait, allure, tempt, betray, and finally trap you.

You may ask yourself so what does this have to do with me? Without even knowing it most Christians expose themselves to this spirit on a daily basis. Seduction is a spirit. On a daily basis whenever you listen to music, TV, drive down the freeway, walk down the street, and go shopping it is there.  While you watch TV you are bombarded with commercials that seduce you to eat, spend, drink, go to parties, and arouse lustful thoughts as they show sensual scenes or make provocative gestures.  Just go anywhere, and there is music playing in the background that is planting seeds of sensuality, violence and temptation. If you are driving down the freeway there are signs to come visit the nearest strip joint, go to the casinos, eat, and buy things you can't afford. Then you go to the store, and the aisles are lined up with the latest gossip, with seductive women or men on the front cover; complete with tips on how to become a more sensual person yourself. Then there is TV shows that encourage adultery, fornication, witchcraft, violence, and every other sin known to man. What we don't realize is that by watching, reading, or looking at these things we are giving heed (paying attention) to these seducing spirits.

Still don't think this is a problem let's look at the life of Samson the strongest man that ever lived.

Let's read on to Judges 16:4 Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. ⁵ And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”

Here is Samson a strong man who was supposed to be consecrated or separated to God for the purpose of serving Him but lived his life unchecked from temptation. Unfortunately, he comes upon a woman who becomes his downfall. Delilah is symbolic of a spirit of seduction. Her mission is to entice, find out what your weaknesses are, so that you can be overcome, be bound and afflicted. Delilah can also be a man because it is a spirit working through a person. As I mentioned before it works even through media. If you read the rest of Judges 16 you will see that Delilah continues to ask Samson over and over again what the source of his strength is until she finally wears him down.

Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.” ¹⁶ And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death, ¹⁷ that he told her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”
(Judges 16:15-17)
As you can see from the above scripture the spirit of seduction will use loyalty or love as a reason for you to give into it. This spirit likes to wear you down until you become weary, and weak in your heart. Delilah is always after our consecration because consecration is the source of God's power in our lives. When Samson gave into seduction he lost all his strength.
When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand. ¹⁹ Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him. ²⁰ And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” So he awoke from his sleep, and said, “I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!” But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him. (Judges 16:18-20)

Not only is the spirit of seduction after your consecration it is after your whole heart. It will not stop until you give in to it fully. Without knowing it many Christians have been lulled to sleep while being stroked by this spirit with promises of better times if only we will succumb to it.  The next thing you know the devil ambushes you. The biggest mistake we can make is to think we can shake off the temptation after flirting with it. This is dangerous my friend. No matter how strong you think you are; one day you will not be able to shake yourself free from the bondage the enemy lured you into. Just like Samson you will realize not only is your strength gone so is your relationship with God. God is the source of our strength. I have seen many warriors once strong in the Lord succumb to this seducing spirit, and lose their vision.  They become captives of the enemy, and some of them never return from the enemy's prison camp. I believe this warning is for everyone. We can never play with the idea that we are above temptation or too strong to be seduced. This is a life lesson from the bible.

If we are being seduced the bible gives us the key to getting free from it. We need to stop giving our attention to it. We cut off the cable TV and internet if necessary. We stop looking at the magazines, reading the romance novels, and watching the shows that arouse us to sin. We stop conversing with people who entice us to return to our former party lifestyle, and we cut off all means of communication with people who will not respect our boundaries. We stay away from people who carry a seducing presence on them.  You know who they are. They like to flaunt their body. They like to show a little too much, and like to flatter you. Flattery is hidden hostility. Desperate housewives isn't just a show it is a reality. There is also desperate office guys too. Don't be afraid to rebuke someone who is clearly disrespecting you. I once had to tell a Christian that his lustful conversations were inappropriate, and I had to cut off the communication because he was defiling me with his words. It is with words that this seducing spirit enters the lives of many men, and women. Also be careful who, and how someone touches you. I once had someone hug me at church, and a seducing spirit tried to jump on me. Years later I found out this person ran off with someone, and left their wife. You can be sure that seduction, and lust work hand in hand. Seduction works externally, and lust works inwardly but God's Word destroys both.

I was sitting at Jack and the Box on my laptop the other day when a man asked me if "I was reading nasty e-mails." I told him that, "I ignore those kind of e-mails." Conversation over. People will even use jokes to get you to entertain a seducing or lustful spirit. Don't give it a chance. Walk away. You are in charge of what you see, hear or pay attention to. You have authority to tell it to go. In the name of Jesus I command the spirit of seduction to go! It might stubbornly try to resist you but it has no authority or dominion and it must obey the name of Jesus!

Let's pray. Father, I repent for giving in and paying attention to a seducing spirit. Forgive me and release me from its power and hold over my life. Show me the areas in which I can cut it off and consecrate myself more fully to you. I don't want to be like Samson and end up a prisoner with my vision taken from me. Open my eyes to be more sensitive to this and give me the strength to shut it down immediately. Let your kingdom come into my life and deliver me from temptation. In Jesus name. Amen.
