Spirituality Blog Back On Schedule - ISP's (Imposter Spiritual Persons)





"All of us, at some point, need a miracle! That is when you really begin to appreciate and wish for MORE spirituality -- the power to, legally, tap into another dimension and alter the natural course of earthly events".






At last! I'm all settled into a new lodging, have access to the things I need to hear and deliver messages from God, without distraction. Starting Thursday, July 5th, your Spirituality Blog will be written daily - Monday thru Friday - just as it was before the travel. Sometimes I heard God in the early morning hours and communicated that to you, sometimes in the afternoons. You can expect that kind of hearing to continue according to God's move upon my heart.

Today, I offer you the final highlight from previous posts. Thanks to each of you who have been keeping up with these messages and those who have prayed on my behalf. I decree this blessing upon you:

God's Holy Spirit come upon you in all his grace to draw you into genuine friendship with Him, that your joy and power in this life be beyond your imagination.











ISP's - Imposter Spiritual Persons





Still discussing the third and most deadly attack to your spiritual strength, spiritual development, spiritual perspective and the very life in your own human spirit -- IMPOSTER SPIRITUAL PERSONS



Where do you find ISP's? Where do you watch for them to come from? Jesus actually schooled us in this area, too. Jesus, himself, warned where your most deadly ISP's are always located.


Read all of Matthew Chapter 10 and focus on this section that tells you where to expect the deadliest Imposter Spiritual Persons.
As you read, simply remember that no human has achieved the character and power of spirituality that Jesus Christ did. No other person has risen himself from the dead and therefore knows the spirit-world as He. Only He can train you in the truth about skillfully maneuvering in the spirit-world:


Matthew 10:36
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Matthew 10:35-37 (in Context) Matthew 10 (Whole Chapter) From www.Biblegateway.com



Imposter Spiritual Persons begin in your own family! Your own family's behavior (deliberately or ignorantly) will be your first encounter with opposition to your decision to become more spiritual, to connect with and develop intimate friendship with God.

Let's look at some examples:



1. Your parents may have fit in the description of Galatians 5:20-22 although attending religious services regularly. Sometimes a mother or father who took you to church when you were a child, did not return home and obey the pastor to live a godly life before you the rest of the week.


Galatians 5:20-22

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,




2. Perhaps your mother, father or guardian is the pastor! That is an extremely hard situation on you. You feel such loving affection for the person and you want to be loyal to them and help them succeed in their ministry, but you can see clearly from the Bible that they do not live the teachings of Jesus Christ. Every week that you are in church you feel DEAD.

SAVE YOURSELF! Tell them respectfully what you are seeing and how important your own relationship with Christ is. Try to help them see that you cannot continue to support the spiritual direction they are taking you, but will continue to be their son/daughter in every other way that you can. Then do what you must, especially if they have rules that as long as you are in their house, you must attend THEIR church.


Romans Chapter 2

21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?





3. What if it is your husband or wife who no longer wants to live in agreement with your spiritual commitment. Worse, what if your husband or wife IS your pastor? This, surely, is a more cruel situation to be in. That is why the Evil one works so hard to get everyone hooked up with the wrong person. His best damage is when your enemy is within, perhaps within your very arms -- you are sleeping with the enemy, sigh.

God understands your pain. Do all you can and stay alert and sensitive in the spirit-world. If God has not been able to reach them over sufficient time, He will guide you to cut your losses and serve Him by yourself. Fear not! If marriage was part of God's plan for you, then He will have a far better spouse up the road.



Matthew 19:29

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Matthew 19:28-30 (in Context) Matthew 19 (Whole Chapter)







ISP's are powerfully strong in their influence on your thoughts and feelings about yourself and about the direction of your life. Often their influence will show up in making it difficult or imposssible for you to get together with others who believe in you, because the ISP wants you to go a different direction with your life. Another tactic is to tell you that God is NOT directing your path, but you are deceived. In other words, "you think you are so spiritual, but if God were directing your path, He would do this ... or that".

This tactic sets the ISP as the superior spiritual person to yourself, who knows all about how God would deal with you, because that's how he/or she perceives that God has dealt with him. Your life is so odd, compared to their life and the rest of the family.



Family and friends who are ISP's is why Jesus has armed you with this weapon of truth:


Matthew 10:37-38

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.








Please do not take lightly the painful opposition to spirituality that you will face from family. You will be so tempted to relax your decision for the comfort and pleasure of feeling loved by family and enjoying recreations and entertainments with them. You MUST NOT. Keep your faith in the power of Jesus within the spirit-world and press your way into who God created you to be. Let no man take that away from you by any beguiling words or activities. Remember ...


Matthew 19:29
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Matthew 19:28-30 (in Context) Matthew 19 (Whole Chapter)
