"DELIGHT GOT TODAY" AUDIO BLOG

As I have written before, in 2019, God called me to be a warrior for the unborn babies. Since Satan groomed me most of my Life to be a recluse (a topic for another blog), the best way I knew to fight abortion at the time was on social(ism) media: Facebook and Twitter, specifically in replying to hateful, evil comments on posts.

Although I am no longer on facebook or twitter, I still comment occasionally on rumble.com.

Recently, I am seeing a lot more ungodly comments, denouncing God even. If these ungodly, satanic platforms are going to continue to operate, then they really need to see God's Word as well.

The following is not a typical conversation about abortion. crazysquirrelusa is actually reasonably civilized compared to most of the conversations I have with pro-choicers. Even though it is not typical, it is a good representation of the ungodliness abounding on these social(ism) media platforms.

This conversation took place today, July 24, 2022. You can see from the screenshots below that AtomicCracker started the conversation, followed by crazysquirrelusa, and then me, FaithfulLambs:

End of that conversation for now. I am sure crazysquirrelusa will have more to say.

God called me to be a Warrior! Has He called you? Are you listening?

“I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.” Isaiah 66:4

Delight God today, for tomorrow is not promised. 

Peace, light and love,

"MAKE GOD GREAT AGAIN" AUDIO BLOG

THE 21st CENTURY EXODUS

Can you hear the bells a tolling? Can you hear God? His freedom is ringing, from the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same.

I do not claim to know everything about this subject. It is something that God just began to put on my heart this morning, when I started reading the Bible at Exodus 9. 

First, it is important that we remember that God loves His children, and will never forsake us. We are not supposed to focus on the evil world around us; we are meant to focus instead on God inside of us. 

God showed me this morning that we are in "The 21st Century Exodus" right now! His Children are being set free, and our oppressors are being condemned.

Let's look at the Biblical signs, wonders and plagues of Exodus, and see how they correspond to what is happening today, in the 21st Century.

A synopsis of the Biblical plagues and events in Exodus:

​

1. Staff turned to serpent 
2. Waters turned to blood
3. Frogs
4. Lice
5. Flies
6. Cattle, Horses, Camels die (and others)
7. Boils
8. Hail
9. Locusts
10. Darkness for Three Days
11. Firstborn Die​​
12. Separating the wheat from the chaff

Again, I have not researched world or local events thoroughly. I would love to hear of additional examples that others may have seen; I am sure there are many, as the scripture says that many of these plagues will affect man and beast.

Rod turns to serpent: The first Biblical test of Pharaoh was the turning of Moses' rod or staff into a serpent:

Exodus 7 (rod turns to serpent)

9 "When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.

10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods."

As I wrote this, it became clear that the rod and the serpent(s) were then, and are now, representative of man's medical feats, some of which were, and are, an abomination unto God. If you will remember, it was a serpent on a rod (pole) that the Israelites were to turn to, to be healed, when bitten by the snakes that were in their camp. Numbers 21:9

Today, in the 21st Century, two serpents on a rod or staff is still the logo or emblem for our modern-day medicine, as shown in the below image:

By having Moses' serpent eat all of the magicians' serpents in Exodus 7:12 above, God was showing them that their medicine, or so-called medicine, was not greater than His Creation. Ancient Jewish history talks about how they were creating hybrids, abominations unto God. Even archaeology has uncovered 1st Century AD mosaics, when Jesus was alive, that show that hybrids may have walked among men.

Waters Turn to Blood:

Exodus 7:17 (waters turn to blood) "Thus saith the Lord, In this thou shalt know that I am the Lord: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood."

The next plague, lice:

Exodus 8 (lice)

16 "And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt."

Excerpt: "The Norwegian salmon giant Mowi counts 251,913 as its "final tally" of Atlantic salmon mortalities due to a sea lice outbreak in October at three of its farms in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) . . ."

​Next, flies:

Exodus 8:24 (flies) "And the Lord did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies."

Excerpt: Social media has erupted in recent days with people noticing the influx of the bugs known as "chironomid midges," or "non-biting flies."

Next: Cattle, Horses, Camels Die

​

The next Biblical plague is Exodus 9:6 (cattle die) "And the Lord did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one."

2021 to 2022: (usanews.com: June 16, 2022)

10,000 Cattle Die but Not From ‘Heat and Humidity’ . . .

Excerpts: "Chaos in food supply chains continues to worsen as thousands of cattle across Kansas have mysteriously died. Officially, at least 2,000 cattle died of “extreme heat and humidity” amid triple-digit temperatures . . ."

"The high-end of estimates comes from Progressive Farmer Senior Editor Victoria Myers, who reports preliminary estimates from feedlot or feed yards that show 10,000 fat cattle across the state have died because of scorching hot weather."

The article goes on to say that hot temperatures likely had nothing to do with the cattle deaths in Kansas, because Texas has more cattle than Kansas, and has been hotter than Kansas, and has not experienced mass cattle deaths.

​See image below of excerpt from the same article:

Note: usanews.com is not a "go-to" news source for me; I am not sure that I have any go-to sources, except for God's Word. I used the usanews.com article today because it had a list of the things happening to our food supply, and the comparison of Kansas cattle deaths to Texas cattle deaths.

Also note that Exodus 9:3 tells us that it was not only cattle that died: "Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain."

I did not research every category of animal mentioned in Exodus 9:3​. I just picked horses and camels, and, right away, found the two things posted herein. Again, let us know if you find other examples.

Moving on to the next Biblical plague to affect Pharaoh and the Egyptians, which was boils. 

Exodus 9 (boils)

8 "And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt."

May 11, 2022: businessinsider.com: 

​UK confirms case of monkeypox, which causes boils and full-body rashes

So, we can see that we are up to at least boils in our 21st Exodus analogy, comparison, God-inspired word.

The next Biblical plague: Hail: 

Exodus 9:18 (hail) "Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now."

July 5, 2022: news.yahoo.com

Large hail threatens parts of the Prairies with thunderstorm risk this week

Now, I do not believe that we have yet seen God's "very grievous hail, such as has not been . . ." Exodus 9:18 above, but we will, this year 2022, according to His prophets.

There will be great destruction, because, again, only through death can we be reborn, and His Chosen who trust in Him, and listen to Him, will be saved.

Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

Next: Locusts:

Exodus 10:12 (locusts): "And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.."

Next: Darkness for Three Days

Exodus 10:21 (darkness): "And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt."

Finally, Death of the Firstborn:

Exodus 11:5 (death) "And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts."

Separating the wheat from the chaff: And, all of these things will happen because God is separating the wheat from the chaff, and the chaff will blow away in the wind or burn with unquenchable fire.

Exodus 11 (separating the wheat from the chaff)

6 "There shall be a great cry [of heartache and sorrow] throughout the land of Egypt, such as has never been before and such as shall never be again. 

7 But not even a dog will threaten any of the Israelites, whether man or animal, so that you may know [without any doubt] and acknowledge how the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’"

​

So, in conclusion, MAKE GOD GREAT AGAIN!

Endowed by their Creator with an unalienable right to Life

One Nation under God

With liberty (freedom) and justice for all!

God IS (Coming) Back!

Back to our Schools!

Back to our Nation!

Back to our Homes!

Back to our Hearts!

​Back to the World!

Praise God. Amen.

"From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, the Lord's name is to be praised." Psalm 113:3

"FREE WILL" AUDIO BLOG

GOD? OR SATAN?

Mankind has choices.
​They are called "free will."

WARNING: Some parts of this blog are graphic and may not be appropriate for some readers.

This probably will not be a popular blog amongst some, but it is something God put on my heart this morning. Lord, let Your words always be mine, and let Your children with ears, hear. Amen.

Did you know that Biblically, historically, and literally, the choices made by mankind (men and women) were, are, and will forever be, the salvation or the downfall of men? We are able to make these choices because we have "free will": let Your Will [not our own free will] be done on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10

Ecc. 7 below tells us that among a thousand men, the preacher (Solomon) could find only one man who pleased God, but among a thousand women, he could not find a single one that pleased God. That is not a great reference for women, or men, for that matter, because, as God said, the thoughts of men's hearts are nothing but evil continually.

Ecc. 7

27 "'Behold, I have discovered this,' says the Preacher, 'while adding one thing to another to find an explanation, 

28 which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand [who pleases God], but I have not found [such] a woman among all these [a thousand in my harem]. 

29 Behold, I have found only this [as a reason]: God made man upright and uncorrupted, but they [both men and women] have sought out many devices [for evil].'”

Free will plus evil thoughts seems like a bad combination, and as we can see from Ecc. 7 above, and see playing out in the world before us, it can be a bad combination, if we make the wrong choices.

Let's look at a few Biblical stories that show how man's free will plus evil thoughts greatly affected mankind. It seems appropriate to start in the beginning with Adam and Eve, whom was the mother of all mankind.

Now, the story in Genesis is that God told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; Adam told Eve not to eat from it as well; but, the snake tempted Eve, and she ate it; and she gave some to her husband to eat, and he did eat it.

So, as far back as our history is written, the first man and woman made a choice for mankind, which disobeyed God. 

How different would our world have been if Adam and Eve had faith in God, and made a different choice?

The next notable story of choices for mankind is Abraham and Sarai, or Sarah. God specifically told Abraham that he would have a son from his own bowels. Yet, Sarah became impatient with God's Time, and thought God had forsaken them, so she told Abraham to marry her Egyptian slave, Hagar, and have a child through her. 

Abraham being a faithful husband (but where was his faith in God) did as his wife instructed him, married Hagar, the slave, and Ishmael was born, whom is the father of Islam.

How different would our world have been if Abraham and Sarah had made a different choice, and listened to God, and waited for God's Time?

Next up, we come to Rebekah and Isaac, Abraham's son after Ishmael. Now, Rebekah had twins: Esau and Jacob. Esau was the firstborn, and Isaac loved him more because he was a good hunter and did feed his father of his venison stew. But, Rebekah loved Jacob.

We probably all know this story: On his death bed, Isaac wanted to bless his firstborn, Esau. Rebekah overheard Isaac telling Esau to go hunt some venison and make him some stew so he could eat and bless him before he died. Rebekah made some stew, disguised Jacob with goat skins on his hands and neck, so he would be hairy like Esau, and sent Jacob into his father, Isaac, to feed him and steal Esau's blessing.

Isaac was old, and he could not see that well. He suspected that it was Jacob by his voice, but Jacob's hands were hairy like Esau, and he smelled like Esau, because he was wearing Esau's garments, so Isaac blessed Jacob instead of Esau. When Esau learned of this, he became greatly distressed and angry. He married Canaanite women just to displease his mother.

How different would our world have been if Rebekah and Jacob had made a different choice, and not stolen Esau's blessing? 

These are just three examples of Biblical history related to choices made by men and women that changed the course of our world forever.

WARNING: GRAPHIC

Lastly, man's most egregious and heinous free will choice: Abortion. The literal ripping apart limb from limb of an unborn baby, who may be able to feel pain as early as eight or nine weeks in the womb. With the most heinous of all atrocities, "Up-to-Birth Abortion" passed into law in NYC in 2019. Governor Cuomo lit up NYC in pink to celebrate its passing.

And, they all cheered.

GRAPHIC: Up-to-Birth Abortion (6-9 months): Up to nine months old in the womb, the day the baby is supposed to be born: The doctor (butcher) pulls the baby's body out of the womb, leaving only the head in the vagina. Then, the butcher jabs scissors into the base of the baby's skull and inserts a plastic tube, and sucks the baby's brains out. They then dispose of the nine-month-old baby's dead body in a trashcan. The only reason they leave the head in the vagina is because if they pulled it out also, it would be called murder, which it is.

Barbaric. Abominable.

And, they all cheered.

Did you know that the founder of planned parenthood (I refuse to capitalize the names of the ungodly), margaret sanger, was sued in a court of law for sterilizing unsuspecting Black women. Apparently, she got a slap on the wrist, and proceeded to open up planned parenthood. But, that was not enough for her, because one way or the other, she was going to exterminate the Black population, or weed them out, as she put it. 

Decades later, 79% of planned parenthood death clinics are located within two miles of a poor Black or Hispanic neighborhood. Black babies make up 38% of the abortions in the USA.

And, they all cheered. 

I think it is important to point out here that in the Esau and Jacob story above, before Rebekah and Jacob stole Esau's blessing, Esau had himself sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of red lentil stew. This greatly displeased God, as it says later in His Word: "Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright." Hebrews 12:16

How is this relevant to this blog? Actually, it is very relevant, because man has God's Spirit, and the blood covenant, and we are supposed to overcome the evil and wickedness of this world, as Jesus overcame. Matthew 16:25 "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."

Esau had God's Spirit also, but his flesh was weak. We overcome by always remembering, and never forgetting, that "The flesh will return to the dust from whence it came; and the spirit will return to God who gave it."

Once Adam and Eve chose sin and death for mankind, Satan's goal was obstacles for man, to keep us from our inheritance, to keep us from overcoming.

To put it another way, it is not that God "lets things happen." It is that things were set in motion when Adam and Eve chose sin and death for mankind. The world would have been a completely different place if people had had faith in God and made different choices.

​Every choice we make sets in motion another path, good or evil.

So, we learn from this that we ought to have faith in God. “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.” Mark 11:22

In a world that seems like the Twilight Zone meets Idiocracy meets War of the Worlds, how do we possibly have faith in God? Even though I have written about this recently, apparently God thought it was important to repeat this morning.

"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

What does this mean? These are not just words. God's Word, the Bible, is not just words. His words are alive and active and powerful. And, they are for us!

What the heck am I rambling on about? As I said in a recent blog, I have not felt much like writing lately, probably because I have not felt much like reading (the Bible). God speaks to us when we read His word. He proves it to me repeatedly. "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by [reading] the word of God."

So, as I said, I have not been reading the Bible quite as much in the last month or so; still reading it, but only a verse or two at a time instead of chapters. Yesterday, however, I felt lonely for God; I'm not sure how else to describe it. So, I started reading Genesis, picked up where I had left off previously, and read 13 or 14 chapters straight, all the way to the end.

I felt so much better after reading it, and, since God talks to us when we read His Word, He showed me the content of this blog this morning. When you read His Word, He talks to you, which gives you faith in Him. THAT is what is meant by Romans 10:17: "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by [reading] the word of God."

If you want to understand His Word, and have faith in Him, then read His Word.

In closing, men and women have choices in this world; it is called "free will." We can choose good, or we can choose evil. There is no gray area.

Choose good. Choose God. Choose Life. Amen.

THE NARROW AND WIDE GATES

Matthew 7

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. 

14 But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it."

This is a word God has been putting on my heart for the last year, with the first word on February 23, 2021, almost one year ago, "Denounce Evil," followed by: 

8/28/21 - Man is a slow learner

9/13/21 - The sins of Jeroboam

12/14/21 - Work With God, Not Against Him

All glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving to God Most High. Let Your words be mine, and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen.

2/23/21 - Denounce Evil

This was a tough one, one of those words where I opened a blog, put basically the title, "Denounce Evil," and saved the date. I opened the blank document a few times over the year, but I was clueless. 

This morning though, God dropped a doozy on me. When I opened my website to start a new blog about the 'doozy,' I opened instead an untitled blog that I created around November 2021, which was a combination of these words from God on the dates I mention above, including "Denounce Evil." Now, because God is great, all the time, the 'doozy' He dropped on me this morning, finalizes His words to me given on the dates above, which He has given me over the last year.

His first word to me almost one year ago on February 23, 2021, "Denounce Evil," should have been enough for me to write this blog, but as His Word tells us:

"For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word . . ." Hebrews 5:12

So, even though, over the last few years, God has literally changed my life, and how I lived it, I did not understand the full meaning of the changes as they related to evil in our every day lives. Evil that we let into our homes, and our children's lives, every day!

Let me try to explain. I knew that God had willed me to stop watching horror movies, especially movies about spirits, demons, sorcery, wizards, the underworld (vampires), but, also, bloody, violent movies. All of my favorites, by the way! So, this was a BIG change for my life, but it was really an involuntary change, meaning I had no control over it. All of a sudden, I realized that I could no longer watch movies like that, because they went against everything godly.

It was an involuntary action or change in my life (God's Will), and this morning, He turned on a light inside of me that shone clear as day:

Woe to us! We have gone the 'defiant way of Cain,' who thought he could climb into heaven some other way than through the door. That one is a thief and a robber. John 10:1

What does that mean? It means, we may say to ourselves, or anyone who will listen, Oh, it is just a movie, or just a poster on my child's wall, or just a t-shirt, or just some jewelry, et cetera, but to the demon or spirit it was created to deify, it will always be a sound of victory, representing defeat over God's precious chosen, Us! 

Cain knew right and wrong and the consequences, and he chose to be disobedient to God, and, by so doing, obedient to Satan and evil. Instead of worshipping God, he chose to worship Satan. See my blog about 'Cain and Abel' here.

Satan is the ruler of this world, and the "things" in it are his to give:

Matthew 4

9 "And [Satan] says unto him [Jesus], All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.

10 Then said Jesus unto him, Get you hence, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve."

So, idol worship is worshipping (spending time with) any 'thing' more than you worship (spend time with) God.

In fact, we are specifically told to meditate on His teachings day and night: "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night." Psalm 1:1

Trust me, I know firsthand the Truth hurts. I mean, I just recently found a couple of websites where you can watch practically any movie you want to watch, which in times past, would have been a gold mine for me. Now, though, I find very little worth, or worthy of, watching, and when I watch those movies now, with my new 'spiritual eye,' I see their in plain sight, hidden, agenda, which was and is to corrupt our minds, trying to keep us from moving towards God's glory, our rightful inheritance.

Satan is the ruler of this world!

1 John 2:

15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever."

So, bottom line, you 'worship' whatever you spend the most time on during the day, which is sad because most people worship their jobs more than anything else. All is not lost, however, because as I have written before, you can, and should, still worship God, even while you are at work, or driving in the car, or standing in line. Hallelujah! Praise God. Amen.

Now, it is not really our fault, but it is. Meaning, Adam and Eve chose sin for us initially, but God, in His infinite Power and Wisdom, gives us every possible escape from temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13. 

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

Next up, God put on my heart on August 28, 2021, that "Man is a Slow Learner."

I chuckled to myself as I was writing this because the Holy Spirit showed me that this message was meant for me! I am a slow learner! Clearly, since it took me almost a full year to understand the word from Him, "Denounce Evil"!

8/28/21 - Man is a Slow Learner

Joshua, the son of Nun, whom was Moses' assistant ruling over the Israelites, and whom assumed the role of leading them after Moses died, did not defeat all of God's enemies before he died. God left many enemies to test the Israelites. The Israelites lived in obedience to God until the death of Joshua, and the death of the remaining elders after him. After that, they "did evil in the sight of the Lord," so He sold them into slavery for eight years, and they repeatedly did evil in His sight.

When you read the Old Testament, you cannot help but wonder why the Israelites were so stubborn? The LORD was actually with them, showing them signs, wonders and miracles, first in Egypt, and, then, during their 40 years in the wilderness. Yet, Moses was gone only 40 days and 40 nights to talk to God, and the people had already convinced Aaron (a Levite and the High Priest for God) to make them a golden calf to worship, and he did!

In the generations that came afterwards, the ratio of bad kings outnumbered good kings, and thus the people who followed these bad leaders were bad as well. The Israelites never seemed to learn from their mistakes. When times got really bad, and the false idols they were worshipping did not answer their prayers to save them, because they never did, could or would, they then prayed to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, whom they knew all along would save them, and He did, time and time again.

As you can see from the following chart (courtesy of biblesanity.org), there were a lot more bad rulers than good.

Satan is very good at his job.

The next thing God put on my heart related to "Denounce Evil," was the "The Sins of Jeroboam," on September 13, 2021.

9/13/21 - The Sins of Jeroboam

​Having researched this at the time, I can tell you what those sins were.

First, Jeroboam, told the Israelites that they did not have to travel all the way to Jerusalem every year to worship their God, the God of Israel, but they could just worship him more conveniently at one of the two 'high places,' which Jeroboam had built.

Second, Jeroboam decreed that anyone could serve as a High Priest at his high places, even though the Mosaic Law said that the high priests had to be from the Levitical line.

Third, Jeroboam made golden cows, idols, and placed them at the high places for people to worship! 

You can see from the chart above that ALL of the kings of Israel after Jeroboam were bad, which in the Bible describes as "followed the sins of Jeroboam."

How does this relate to our lives? As I was typing this, God gave me that answer! In the scenario above, in the order given:

First, Satan tells us that we do not need to travel all the way to church, but that we can just worship God more conveniently from our own homes, on the network Satan built, on our computers or televisions.

Acts 2

1 "When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place, 

2 and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting." 

"Not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some . . ." Hebrews 10:25

So, "They were all together in one place." They did not stop meeting together, as is the habit of 'some.' Not at home, staring at a computer or television, or, if Satan has his way, not worshipping at all!

Ironically, this word was to me in September. My husband and I started attending church about a month later, for the first time in the 18 years of our marriage, which I just realized as I was typing this!!

Second, in 'the Sins of Jeroboam' analogy above, Satan has decreed that anyone can serve as a high priest at his churches, places of worship, especially anyone not teaching sound doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:3

So, was God warning me to find a church that teaches sound doctrine? Most likely, especially since we went to another church first, where you could feel the presence of the Lord and Holy Spirit were stifled, nonexistent.

Third, Satan has made many idols for man to worship in his world. Remember, you worship whatever you do or think about the most:

"Do you not know that when you continually offer yourselves to someone to do his will, you are the slaves of the one whom you obey, either [slaves] of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness (right standing with God)?" Romans 6:16.

To withstand Satan, we are told to clothe ourselves with God's Word Ephesians 6:11-24, and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.' 2 Corinthians 10:5. Amen.

Now, God's last word to me (that I was awake to hear) on this subject, until today, was back on December 14, 2021, "Work With God, Not Against Him":

12/14/21: Work With God, Not Against Him

If we understand God's Power, the Power of His Word and His Love, why do we not all work with Him, instead of against Him?

When I think back on my own, personal experiences with God and the Holy Spirit, beginning when I was 13 years old, again in my 30s, and then not again until 58, I knew from these experiences that there was something supernatural out there, if and when I could tap into it, something that could change the very essence of who I was. ​See 'My Testimony to God's Power here.

I did not understand this supernatural force until recently though, and, or course, I still do not understand it fully. Even though I knew all of these years that there was something out there, I still ran from it instead of embracing it.

Here again, I now know this message, "Work With God, Not Against Him," was for me, and I know what it is about. One day, when I decide to admit it, and listen to Him, I will write about it. Amen!

So, really, not much has changed:

Over six thousand years later, and man is still stubborn!

​Satan is still deceiving.

God's end game is still for man to reap his rightful inheritance.

​And, Satan's end game is still​ to stop that, at all costs, while unwittingly or unwillingly moving man towards salvation. God is great, all the time.

Denounce Evil! 

"Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character];" Ephesians 5:11

Not by words but by power! 1 Corinthians 4:20

​

Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
