We need to be able to get spiritual interpretation out of the scriptures. We have a very big lack of that in our religious world today. A lot of the interpretation that people are bringing out of the scriptures has moved away from spiritual to literal. When that happens, it no longer questions the heart. People are not allowing the spirit of God to question their heart. They look at the Bible from an academic perspective. We can’t understand the scripture unless we allow it to question our heart.

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD." Genesis 6: 5-8

There is a lot we can learn from Noah. Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord. Why? Because he was a just man, perfect in his generation and he walked with God.(Verse 9)

The Holy Spirit does lead, but sometimes we don’t understand how to be lead of the Holy Ghost. We really need to practice and labor to know how to be led of the Holy Ghost, not just study.

"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:1-3

It is so vital to our walk with Christ that we do not begin to lean on our own understanding, but take everything to our Heavenly Father who sees everything- past, present and future- perfectly clear.

“Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.  Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost." Matthew 1: 18-20

Today there are about 4,000 religions. Whatever you want to believe, you can find it in the world. Many today are in spiritual confusion that promises to give man abundant life. Nothing in the rituals of man can save the soul. We have a choice of what part or camp we want to be a part of. We cannot take a stand in-between. Babylon (spiritual falseness) tries to mix things in to please God and the world.

"And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire" (Matthew 3:10)

"Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit." (Matthew 7:17)

"Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit." (Matthew 12:33)

In these scriptures the Lord is talking about trees as an example for people.

Babylon means confusion or changing of the language. The city of Babylon was totally wicked. In order to get into the city, you had to pass by one of the gates of a false god. Babylon has the same spirit in the New Testament as it had in the Old Testament.

(Luke 4)

1) “And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost… was led by the Spirit in to the wilderness”
The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. During this time Jesus fasted and drew nigh to God:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you…” James 4: 7-8

"For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." 2 Corinthians 5:1

No matter what we have to face in this world, we have a soul that will spend eternity with God. When we stay faithful, we will be rewarded. Any religion that doesn’t live the whole gospel the Bible terms as spiritual Babylon. Babylon is likened to a whore. She is unfaithful to God and his word. She represents confusion. Today she is a large part of our spiritual warfare. (Revelation 18)
