 A DELICIOUS LIFESTYLE
           "Thou has made known to me the ways of life" Acts 2:28
                                  Edward Proffitt, Th.D.

 

There is a strange verse of scripture that talks about the sinful
lifestyle of Babylon. It says, "How much she hath glorified herself
and lived deliciously" (Revelation 18:7). The lifestyle question of
DELICIOUS living vs BIBLICAL living and the conflict of it, has
always been.

​

Isaiah wrote of the lucifer lifestyle question. Lucifer said, "I will
ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most
High" (Isaiah 14:14). That lifestyle is evil incarnation; it is ambition
out of control. Authority, in the Christian religion reasoning, has
been fixed. Genesis 14:19 pronounces it, "The Most High God
possessor of heaven and earth".

 

Jesus Christ authenticated the authority, He confirmed that "all
power is given unto me in heaven and earth' (Matthew 28:18)
At this divine Authority is where the attack is placed. The Church
in her role of true or false reflects this conviction of authority,
lifestyle. Will the Church (in this authoritarian role) reflect proper
Biblical CONVICTION

​

Will the Church be subject to her Lord or will she invalidate authority
to herself? Daniel describes for us Satan's ultimate tool; he "shall do
according to his will, and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself
above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God
of gods and shall proper till the indignation be accomplished"
(Daniel 11:36). So, the lines of authority are drawn. The position of
God is, "it is written". The position of Satan is, "hath God said"?

​

The delicious lifestyle is the inordinate desire to reign now. What
this does is sacrifice the eternal for the temporals, to render what
is Christ's to Caesar. The Church was never meant to reign upon
earth until her rejected Lord returns in power. Jesus said, "My
kingdom is not of this world", then He concludes that verse with,
"but now is my kingdom not from hence (John 18:36|). One of the
signs of TRUE BIBLICAL AUTHOITY IS EDGING TOWARED US.

​

Theologically, it is called the SEOND COMING - THE RAPTURE
OF THE CHURCH. It will terminate the whole godless religious
system of false authorities. Unfaithfulness to Biblical Authority is
treason against Jesus Christ who is the ultimate truth. He Himself
said "I am the truth" (John 10:1). Biblical Authoritative Truth related
to the Christian in God's Word.  Are you headed in the right direction???
