Consider my patriot plea where comments have been allowed
Dear fellow Patriot:
We may not believe the same, but we are fellow Patriots fighting against the evil that has blinded the world under his DIVIDE & CONQUER initiatives and fair to say he’s winning.
THIS MUST STOP because you and I are better than this evil, even though we may disagree on other things; we can disagree, BUT, we are still on the same team as Patriots to defeat EVIL.
With that said, please consider the following suggestions from A NOBODY FELLOW PATRIOT sharing a truth FOR YOUR BENEFIT, in which I would surrender my life for you to understand.
1/ THIS IS WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST – A Tree is Identified by its Fruit - https://wearenotgod.wixsite.com/my-site/post/a-tree-is-identified-by-its-fruit
2/ WE HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR NOT KNOWING GOD – Romans 1:20 - "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God."
3/ IF YOU DO NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR (agreeing to disagree) – PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING - One Doesn't Have To Directly Serve The Devil To End Up In Hell - https://wearenotgod.wixsite.com/my-site/post/one-doesn-t-have-to-directly-serve-the-devil-to-end-up-in-hell
4/ THE CHRISTIAN MUST STOP BOASTING – of being Catholic * Baptist * Pentecostal * or any other proud denominational or personal title THAT IS NOT IN GOD’S LIVING WORD – and instead boasting to the world together of JESUS CHRIST LIVING GOD * because that is what the living word is all about … nothing less, nothing more … 100% inerrant and infallible.
John 11:25 - "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying."
John 14:6 - "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."
Romans 10:9 - "If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." First posted May 30, 2021, I'm finding myself updating this older post, not just for relevancy, but since losing my career in April 2020, all income included, additionally, because the internet is owned by the same people behind the ongoing PlanDemic, this free website will no longer allow me to upload new graphics without a paid subscription; fair enough, but why pay to be online when SEO's have been long proven to manipulate findings & track us?
At the time of this update, early February 2023, the world has experienced a 3 year horrific revelation. 1 Billion people have met the devil - 7B have met a fake pandemic. But a billion people knowing truth, when nothing, or very little appears to be getting done to bring about resolve is not good - thus the reason for my Patriot appeal noted above.
Consider!
From the time we awake, to when we're sitting on a plane, or in our vehicle, heading off to a holiday destination, pumped and excited beyond words for the escape and downtime before us, out from under all the insanity of what life has become, 'RELAX' is our new gold!
The estimated billion who have witnessed a PlanDemic, are more apt to take the post title, 'The Mind is the Devil's Playground,' a little more seriously than the other 7 billion unable, or unwilling, to process the real truth, in fairness, perhaps from 'Cognitive Dissonance.'
With that said, speaking of life, why do we continue filling it up with the very stuff we don't need, while setting aside, using excuse after excuse, the very thing we do need, Christian included, for which I hold no punches? The latter must become more accountable and boastful of nothing more, nothing less than JESUS CHRIST LIVING GOD - Jesus is His name * Christ is His title * He lives * and He is God!
So again, acknowledging that the mind is the devil's playground, perhaps this could help explain how all the stuff we don't need, keeps us from the very JESUS we do need!
Make No Mistake About it
The name 'JESUS' block lettered in the above paragraph is deliberate and worthy, and we must make no mistake about it, with no end in sight still, as of February 2023 that He and He alone is the answer needed, AND HE WILL bring an end to the biggest con in the history of mankind, BUT in His timeframe not ours; He who knows all things, and what He says, goes.
2 Peter 3:8 "But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day."
Isaiah 46:10 "Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish."
So as the truth begins to reach the masses who are missing and denying said truth, knowing the mind is the devil's workshop help us to see how anything and everything evil, demonic and satanic takes control of our mind, and our only means of rejecting evil is by trusting in the promised Messiah and Savior of the world, Jesus Christ; everything apart from Jesus is idolatry (Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary).
“I alone am God. There is no other God— there never has been, and there never will be." - Isaiah 43:10
Our world is full of little 'g' gods and it's become annoying to hear people, especially celebrities, give credit to 'god,' when in fact said 'god' they are referring, 99.9% of the time, is the 'god' of this world, noted above as IDOLATRY.
Now you may be thinking -
"And I suppose you and/or Jesus Christ and being Christian is the answer we need when our world is full of hypocrites who claim to be Christian?"
As a Christian leader, who truly loves all judges none, am the first to say that Christians as a whole, owe you and the world a long overdue apology for the sad example set without excuse, other than confessing, there is no such thing as perfection; we are all full of flaws as a result of being human; a Christian becomes as such and attends a fellowship of like minded individuals because they know they are the furthest from perfect and have sourced out the inerrant and infallible means, Jesus and His living word to guide them on their life journey.
The Christian Church Has Serious Housekeeping to do
The Christian church has serious housekeeping to do in dealing with its denominational pride. The reality is, pride precedes every man's downfall - and in this case the root cause for the poor example set by the Christian, for the most part, they know about Jesus, but they don't really know Jesus - huge difference!
For example, the NLT (New Living Translation), in Mark 9:38-41, teaches us: 38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he wasn’t in our group.” 39 “Don’t stop him!” Jesus said. “No one who performs a miracle in my name will soon be able to speak evil of me. 40 Anyone who is not against us is for us. 41 If anyone gives you even a cup of water because you belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, that person will surely be rewarded.
Jesus says, "Anyone Who isn't Against Him is For Him." (v40)
In other words, in the authors humble opinion, Jesus is saying to us, “I love those who love me by sharing, teaching, and preaching in my name, the Son of God, giving My Father all the glory, as in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.”
A grave error for the Christian body as a whole has been their inability to be respectful of ‘ALL’ who teach in the name of Christ, even though they may not share all doctrinal particulars, according to our man-made denominational titles and differences, such as, United, Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, Free Methodist, Pentecostal, or Catholic, etc., boasting more of titles than of Jesus Himself - who must become greater & greater!
According to Jesus, anyone who is not against Him is for Him! And considering denominations are not scriptural, as well of the simple fact that we are to be more concerned about the log in our own eye than the speck in someone else's (Matthew 7:3-5), before destroying each other, how on earth can we set the example for the likes of love, joy, peace, contentment, wisdom, and/or patience, for the world to follow, taught by Jesus?
Because someone like the late Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of, ‘The Power of Positive Thinking,’ who didn’t speak much of, if anything, about ‘hell and damnation,’ or the gift of tongues, or the intricacies of grace and the finished works of Christ, does that mean, we who think differently, should be judging him as wicked, or biblically incorrect, when Jesus says: “Anyone who is not against us is for us?”
God is Not Laughing
Let us consider also, ‘Joel Osteen,’ who has been accused by countless fellow Christians for anything and everything, right down to being the devils own son, is this something Jesus Himself would endorse? Are we Christians so perfect, we appoint ourselves judge & jury?
When God teaches to prioritize ‘ALL’ of His word (2 Timothy 3:16), and that no man has a right to judge another (Matthew 7), while rebuking Israel in the day through Ezekiel 18:29 saying, “O people of Israel, it is you who are not doing what’s right, not I,” we must listen.
God is not laughing, because, just as He offered up JOB to the devil’s temptation, “All right, do with him as you please,” the LORD said to Satan. “But spare his life,” in Job 2:6, so is He today, granting the devil access to the mind of the proud Christian who have limited themselves in their learning, missing out on the finished works of Christ, practically invincible, being already redeemed, healed, righteous, and sanctified, with a rich and satisfying life, and all according to predestination, choosing the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ as our Lord & Savior; His understanding, His path, not our own.
You see, reader, the mind is the devil’s playground -
- and he has no concern about the saved Christian who lives for the day of salvation, the sweet bye & bye - coasting through a performance based Christian life, still trying to earn his way through life, when grace replaced our need to earn God's blessings (Hebrews 8:13).
The devil only cares to keep the Christian from fulfilling his purpose - and to do this - he merely has to get them to give up on God; eternal life yes * fulfilled purpose no!The reason mainline churches have stopped growing, closing doors, lost hope, live broke, unhappy, without joy, without peace, with a skyrocketing divorce rate, is primarily because of performance based Christianity that ignores the finished works of Christ; still feeling that works or some form of effort on their behalf is needed in order for God to hear and answer prayers and bless them … thus causing their own demise.
We are told clearly in John 6:29 – “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”
We must stop asking God for healing, when healing has already been provided - 1 Peter 2:24! We're already redeemed; already sanctified; already prosperous; that is what Christ did at the cross - the finished works of Christ. He came to bring us grace and truth.
Grace is unmerited, undeserved favor - God giving to us what we do not deserve. Mercy is God not giving us what we do deserve as a sinful people - In Christ we are forgiven and our sins, past, current, and future, never to be remembered again at the time of salvation, placing our trust in Christ as our Savior - Romans 10:9 as one example!
Therefore, we do not need to continue asking for forgiveness, repenting of our sins, when, as noted above, forgiveness has long been provided!
Sin’s Power Is Broken (Romans 6:1-2) "Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?"We must live to thank Him for His purpose, His blessings, favor, anointing, and angelic protection … for His righteousness, love, joy and peace … filling all needs ... for our new job … new business connections … and the list goes on - gratitude, gratitude, gratitude.
In other words, it’s fair to say the ‘Gospel of Grace,’ offers to us the opportunity to live a daily life of expectancy, the breeding ground for miracles … and our living God who knows the heart and the sincerity of our faith, is a God of miracles with His living word that is full of promises, including that we are healed by His wounds … and that He will never leave us nor forsake us … or that we can do all things through Christ who gives us the strength to do so.
It's Coming ... be Patient
So, let today be the first day of the rest of your life to stand firm on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, being the Gospel of Grace, the finished works of Christ, as you lay your prayers of thanks before Him (for what's coming) - the thoughts He has impressed upon your heart, and without waiver, live your life of expectancy (it's coming be patient), trusting in Him to fulfill His promises through you, according to His purpose for you, while clinging fast to His living word and solid teaching that is always confirmed by His word - all 31,173 verses worth, documented in museums by way of eye witness written scrolls and other archaeological finds to be witnessed by all, in the precious name of Jesus Christ Living God, hallelujah amen.
2 Peter 1:16 For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We saw his majestic splendor with our own eyes
