3) Problems of deception
Deception is a real potential problem for the believer. We will not be
thinking right or moving in the right direction if we are deceived. People who
are deceived should not be labeled as not being in the faith, but more as a
casualty of being in the faith. Every Christian is prone to deceptive attacks
and at any time can be vulnerable to receiving lies about themselves, others,
their gifts and calling, their importance and many other things. We may even be
openly possessed by demons that many can see or discern but no one wants to cast
out. We have such a narrow and inaccurate view of authority and each members
place that we allow leadership to shipwreck peoples lives because of demonic
possession. There is a move that is coming where every member of the body will
have the place to move without fear of being attacked by someone in leadership.
Until then we must operate in the anointing we have.
4) Conflicts of jealousy
It is to be expected that when a person anointed of God attends a church that
is lacking, and the person begins to move in the spirit that jealousy will
arise. This is because of the authority that the anointed is displaying that the
others lack. We see the same in Jesus' life. When Jesus moved in the
supernatural all the religious authorities tried to stop Him.  They attacked Him
whenever they could and even attempted to kill Him on many occasions. The
religious authorities even claimed that Jesus was demonized and was operating by
demonic powers. Should we expect anything less?
If those who are not anointed would abandon their religious beliefs and ideas
that are contrary to God and believe in faith, they would be transformed from
old wine skins to new wine skins. They would soon find the real authority that
they are lacking and enter into a love affair with God. Even as King David was
anointed by God to be King of Israel and to have the septre in his family line
forever, so we to may have a high calling from God. Like David we may find our
King Saul will attempt to kill us (spiritually) even as Saul attempted
repeatedly to kill David. There are times when we must flee a church for our own
lives.
