Today the LORD put on my heart to talk about human perfectionism. There are two types of perfectionism–there is Satan’s and there is GOD’s and the two are constantly mixed up.
The Bible speaks of being perfect even as the FATHER is perfect…however Satan twists even the concept of “holy perfectionism”… Like everything else that Satan does he puts his own corrupt spin on things and turns human, secular, lukewarm religious “perfectionism” into a thing of torment, self-guilt, self-loathing, and inferiority complexes…. Satan who comes as an angel of light the Bible says, has his own brand of “being perfect” and it ain’t pretty… It’s about making people to pursue a corrupt kind of perfectionism–turning people into machines pursuing human perfection and persecution of those who can’t achieve levels of perfectionism leading to inferiority complexes and ultimately leading some people to drastic measures such as suicide…
And Satan wants to liken his brand of perfectionism to GOD’s holiness. THEY ARE TWO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT THINGS….Satan’s perfectionism is about torment, persecution, disappointment, frustration, depression, and anger–while GOD’s plan is to merely choose HIM while GOD supernaturally does the work in a person’s heart THROUGH HIS LOVE to bring the individual into a state of being “holy” or “perfect” by the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH A LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST and not by the power of human will or flesh which is virtually impossible.
Oh the lukewarm church would have you believe that you can be “perfect” through their pursuit of perfectionism via the “religious spirit” aka Satan–but it is a complete and total impossibility to move into the kind of holiness GOD requires APART FROM A FULL SURRENDER TO THE WILL OF THE FATHER BY THE BLOOD-BOUGHT SALVATION OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT…
Two separate versions of “perfection”…. Evil perfection vs. Righteous perfection….
2 Corinthians 11:14 (KJV): And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV): Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Genesis 2:17 (KJV): But of the tree of the knowledge of “GOOD” (PERFECTIONISM APART FROM GOD) and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
SATAN’S PERFECTION VS. GOD’S PERFECTION
