Wolves and human methods

The Fruit of the Wolf

Acts 20:29-30

They made a decision to build their flock by using human methods
They were no longer Spirit led
Some of the sheep were able to see it, but most didn’t
In the 21st century sheep do not want to hear sound doctrine
There are a lot of deceivers in the world who are trying to get you to
Buy their product whether it is a politician;
A particular brand of washing powders or a religion etc

Wolves are savages— heavy or burdensome
They weigh people down with their demands rather
Than lifting people up by helping to carry their burdens
Wolves rise up— this means they put themselves above others
Acting as though they are in some way superior to those around them
Wolves want people to be dependent on them—not the Lord
They therefore work toward that aim

The church building is a battlefield for wolves
Their competition is severe—
When their pact grows too big
They start to kill each other [gossip]—
Wolves are only concerned about their popularity
Sadly, they also destroy many innocent lives
Wolves enjoy controlling women
A wolf wants his pact to be the greatest

The teaching of a wolf focuses on himself
A wolf neglects the power of Jesus—
A wolf focuses on his own power of persuasion

God gives us the strength and
The clarity to identify the wolves in the church—
The wolves in the church building should not intimate us
When we enter the territory of a wolf
We must enter with the power of Jesus Christ—
Wolves also use the name of Jesus
Therefore, it is vital that we enter the battlefield of the wolves
With the power of the Holy Spirit

The teaching of a wolf focuses on himself
A wolf neglects the power of Jesus—
A wolf focuses on his own power of persuasion

Let us continue to go against the grind… lives are at stake
