Exposing Satan's Playbook The Perry Stone

blessed Israel as the “true church” (John 4:4–29). Instead of debating the woman in a heated argument, Christ revealed the key to all worship: God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. —J OHN 4:24 If I were the enemy, I would undermine the idea that it is important to worship God at all. I would make the Christian faith “just another world religion” and convince the population it is just one of many ways to heaven. I would then make certain that the so-called worship experience became a very boring, dry ritual with no energy and power, filled with boring preaching, music that would fit in any funeral, and prayers that were prayed from paper instead of words from the heart. Thus a person could enter the stone cathedral and sixty minutes later exit the sanctuary totally unchallenged and unchanged. I would do this knowing that true worship in spirit welcomes the presence of God and in God’s presence all needs can be met. I would mock any group that expresses emotion in worship and call such people religious fanatics to intimidate others from attending the services, in the same manner that I had impressed the Pharisees to accuse the miracles of Christ as being from the power of Beelzebub, the prince of demons (Matt. 12:24–27). If I could make the people afraid to worship, then I could prevent them from experiencing God’s life-changing presence!
