What's Wrong With This Nation?

Seldom, almost never, do I write or even share “Political” views or messages, BUT, this urging thought came to me the other morning as I was washing dishes the ~Old Fashioned, Out Dated Way~, and *IT* seemed worth sharing…
I suppose the thought came about as I was cleaning the old black iron fry pan which I have used almost every day of my adult life, my mother before me, and my grandmother before her used the same pan… How much further back IT goes has faded with time…
I started to think of the waste, ~OF the people~ in this country.. Many folks wouldn’t even have a pan like this because it is heavy, black, and well worn… Most folks like bright shiny new, color schemed matched sets… Here I must raise my hand as one, but the LORD saw fit to keep me in a financial position, where I could not afford this, so I’ve had to use the “Make Do with what you got way of life”,  which my grandmother taught me… Thank YOU, Father God IN Jesus Name.
Also, my grandmother raised me, teaching me to make do, and to utilize what I had.. NOT toss it away and sit back and cry and holler, Uncle Sam, ain’t taking care of me, cause he ain‘t giving me what everybody else has… She, however taught us well, not to stand with our noses looking over the fence in the neighbors yard, and lust to have the greener, clean pastures that they had, BUT, rather to hike up our pants legs, roll up our sleeves and git to work cleaning up our own mess, our own little area that THE LORD saw fit to provide us with…
In fact, as a child there were pictures of “Uncle Sam”, all over the place, that amazed me to see this tall, bearded, man attired in red, white, and blue strips, top hat and all, pointing his finger at me, in the picture.. Saying, “Uncle Sam Needs You”! Well, naturally as a child, I always wondered why did he need me… BUT, mama said, he needs you to be an asset to this nation… to work, grow, and help others to do the same, and he needs soldiers to fight for freedom here…
HOW many folks today have that same attitude?  NOT TOO Many.
WHY? Because they didn’t wash their old iron pots, and reuse them , but tossed them out, into the streets with the rest of the trash, which folks think they are toooo gooood to pick up, ran out and bought new ones on credit, and now can’t pay for them….
Mostly *IT IS* ~ALL ABOUT *ME*, attitudes, *I* Deserve more than you Because, *I* am oppressed, I got *IT* worse than you… Have you ever heard two chronic `youngsters`, comparing their physical hurts and aliments? One tries to top the other with aches and pains, so as to be the one with more problems that needs to be fixed…. Well that is what I hear in the “Political Debates”… What I see is two candidates that promise to do better than the other, but which one do you trust? Which one *IS* for a fact, “Truthful and Honest”, like Abe? Listen closely and mostly what you hear is the scraping of sashaying feet, in an attempt to avoid actually telling a lie, while attempting to appease the other, and the nation,  with an acceptable although non- consequential answer…
Most folks are offended, *IF* they DO pick up a piece of trash of the street, and don’t receive a standing ovation and a medal of honor…. WAY TOO Many folks won’t take a job *IF* IT doesn’t pay well enough to afford them a steak on the table every night, a Fancy car in the drive way, so many factory jobs are sent into other countries… AT WHAT COST? Think about this one long and hard… How many settlers, can you imagine would have even thought about paying the cost of shipping goods, to another country, paying foreigners to make the merchandise, and buying it back.. To sell here… who is this fleecing?
Everywhere you look folks are standing around with their hands out asking “The Government”,  for a handout, bailout, help-out, or “Honor” ME Fund of some sort….
Where IT IS True, that much of the land has been allowed to be sold to foreign countries, and the true Americans have little left to farm for themselves, their neighbors, or this nation.. AND  much if the land IS farmed by the use of non citizens,  which folks protest about,  but then they don't and won't do the workd themselves...  We still gotta remember, TO Make ~THE BEST~ of what God Has Given us… IS That what we, the people are doing? OR are we floundering because we are so caught up in the ways of the world, still asking for Funds to honor this and that, Funds here and there, raising the debt higher and higher, wanting someone else to do the work for us, but give us the income,   instead of, telling the CEO’S vacations are cancelled until you actually earn them by bringing to the table a work that keeps the companies out of the hole… Doctors, stop fleecing America by overcharging, and unnecessary testing of patients, Because Medicare pays well… Drug Companies.. Either, stop asking for funds, don‘t make the drugs,  or come down on the prices…..Gas prices? Look carefully at the ~Profits~ of the gas companies, versus the prices of gas and ~The reasons for raising it.. People ALL OF You, STOP! Wasting, throwing away,  utilize what you have to the fullest.... Do NOT Use each other! Want, Want, WANT? “I WANT”, ain’t never hurt anyone, *IF* you really think about *IT*… Mama, used to say, “your wants won’t hurt you”, and *IT* made me soooo mad, but I went out into the woods where we lived, looked at the little animals, scurrying about, and realized how simple, yet profoundly ~True~ that statement really was…. AS I got older and read THE Bible, I really learned why, “my wants, won’t hurt me”…. Simply Put.. God, provides for our ~NEEDS~ NOT our ~Greed’s~, just as HE provides for the little animals, cares for the birds, and the flowers of the fields…. (Matthew 6:19-34)
Where we don’t need to be “Hoarders” of wealth, or goods”, we need to realize, ~What God has provided~ for us, “Spiritually, as well as physically, and do not toss *IT* out as old, of no more use, obsolete.. BUT rather, Make ~GOOD~ use of *IT*… Be content in what ever state THE LORD has seen fit to place us IN, AND, Always give prayerful, heartfelt Thanks and Praise TO our Maker, our Father IN Heaven, by The Holy Ghost, IN The Blessed Name of God’s OWN Son, Jesus Christ…. Stop, ~Greedily~ seeking wealth,  and seek  God's Will for us in HIS Way.  Only then can we be worry free…. Relax and watch the Biblical Prophesies unfolding right before the blinded eyes of the ones who chase their tails in a lost and dying world… BUT, we must continue TO stand firm on The Written Documents, and continue to sound the warning messages that Christ taught as He walked this earth, sharing “THE GOSPEL OF, God’s Kingdom, with all, so  that every soul has the opportunity to have their eyes opened through the Truth of God’s Word….
Our calling is not to plead for the Republican Party, or The Democratic Party, BUT To share God’s Kingdom Message to ~ALL~ Nations…. Can we actually BASE our ~Faith, Hope, and Trust~ IN The LORD God Almighty, through HIS Son Jesus Christ? OR are we a people that can speak pretty words, just as the candidates can, but by our actions make liars of ourselves?
IF more folks would step out as Daniel and The Hebrew children did, and then stand firm in The Teachings, BY Example and Word, of Jesus Life here in the flesh what do you suppose would happen here in this nation as well as others… What did King, Darius decree unto ~ALL~ the peoples, nations, and languages, as a result of Daniels Standing ON Strong Faith in THE LORD… “That IN ~Every ~ Dominion of my kingdom, men tremble and fear before THE God of Daniel: FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD, and Steadfast ~Forever~, and HIS *KINGDOM* that which shall not be destroyed, and HIS DOMINION shall be even unto the end.” (Daniel 6:25-26)..
Most folks are quick to yell ~The Government~ Needs TO DO Something, BUT remember “Old Uncle Sam”, and ask ourselves, what do we the people ~NEED~ to do?

Two Year Old Child, OR A Forty Day Old Babe

How old was Jesus when the Wise men came to see him? Many people claim that He was a two year old child, and if you have a modern translation of the Bible God’s Written Word, you may be one…For in the account of His birth in Matthew and Luke, simple words have been changed to indicate that, which teaches to confusion.. The word used in verse (1 of Matt. 2) as *IT* reads in OKJV --
When”. Some of the modern translations including The ~New King James~ have changed it to “after”… When Saying , “Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.. when, whether being used as a noun, verb or adverb means an unspecified time period as …during the event…at the time of… but! after” locks it into the past.. IS, is 3rd person singular present OF: to be which it could read “Where to be he born” which would not be proper “English”, but also doesn’t lock it into a past event … However IT IS more proper than changing *IS* to *Has been*… AND the wise men said, “we have seen” which is already done they, done did, saw *IT* His star, and now they have come to inquire… How badly man can rearrange the meaning of God’s Written Word with the simple insertion, omission, OR changing of ONE simple word… Consider the scriptures and the message that God’s Written Word brings forth about the “Blessed Event
”. (Matthew 2:1a-2- KJV).. Reads: “Now ~~WHEN
~~ Jesus was born in Bethlehem… saying, where ~IS~ He that IS born King of the Jews? For we ~Have seen~ His star in The East…” (Matthew 2:1a-2 ~NKJV~) Reads: “Now ~~AFTER
~~ Jesus ~ was born in Bethlehem of Judea, behold wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, where is He who ~~Has Been~~ born…” IT IS NO Wonder, that so many folks get confused about: The Biblical Account OF The Birth of Jesus….OR any of The Blessed Scriptures.. IS IT simply ignorance, IS IT Intentional, or IS IT the subtle urgings of the same old serpent that lurked in the garden, that led mankind to change these words, to insert his own thoughts into God’s Written Word, thus changing the “Account” as The ~Newer~ more ~Modern~ Bibles are being printed… Most look harmless in the changing of the words, just making *IT* easier for some folks to understand… Really? Understand? OR Change History as IS mans habit… Listen to mankind’s account of some of the things that actually happened in your lifetime, things that you heard or saw as *IT* unfurled before your eyes… Now mankind IS actually rewriting many events to hold their own thoughts of ~What, Where, Why, or How ~ these things came to be… It may make for an interesting document to entertain some, BUT to others IT IS Making a lie out of History… AND So IT IS with the New Modernized Bibles… For Instance: The ~First~ argument that comes forth IS: “Well, ~ALL~ Bibles are Translations, written by men, even the Original King James… BUT IT WAS translated by men who lived closer to the days of the original accounts.. And *IF* you read and study IT carefully, with the “Prayerful” Guidance of The Holy Ghost, there ARE NO conflicts in *ITS* messages… Whereas the very changing of ~ONE~ Single word sets up a domino effect that makes for much confusion and contradiction..
Another caution here to be ware of, IS The Popular Pastime of: reading The Bible from front to back, to accomplish the feat of: “Reading The Bible Through.” First that should not be ~The Goal~… To accomplish something to brag about, BUT, The goal, should and must be to ~~Learn~~ of The Wisdom That God The Father has provided in IT’S Pages for mankind to grow in, learn, follow, and use as a ~Sword~ to execute the enemy of ignorance in this life….
For example… The reading in the NKJV of: (Matthew 2:4) contradicts that which is written in verse 1.. For IT shows King Herod asked the chief priest and scribes, where the Christ ~Was To Be Born~.. Not where He Was Born as IS Indicated in the 1st verse… The OKJV does not create a contradiction…
As a child I read everything I could get my hands on.. I read many books, but today all I remember from them IS that I enjoyed reading them, and yes I read the Bible through from cover to cover, BUT all I remembered is that “Eve ate the apple”… Which is not As IT IS Written… But a popular teaching of confusion which mankind offers to little children.. Herein sets the stage for many ~False Teachings~ to emerge…
Many folks adamantly believe, that Jesus was two years old, when ~The Three Kings~ came to see Him… Do you believe this? Why???… And by the way, again it takes more than a glance of reading to obtain the full meaning and understanding of Biblical Accounts… For instance King David Wrote:
(Psalm 72: 10) .. ~The kings
~ (pleural kings) of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the ~kings~ of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts… This IS a writing of a prayer of David for his son, Solomon, who by the way fell to the false teachings of the nations which he surrounded himself with.. IT IS Also, prophesy of The Coming of Jesus the Savior… AND Matthew refers to them as wise men, and mostly Wise men are learned men, sincere studiers.. According TO The Psalms, there were more than ~Three~, and even Matthew describes them as *THE* not the three… The reasons that have been given so far are:
1. Jesus was called a child
when they, *THE* Wise Men, came and they saw Him in a house not a manger… This IS their ~Proof positive~ fact…. Read then: First we gotta accept the prophesy and the obedience of the Israelites, those like Mary and Joseph who followed the Law of Moses, to a “T”, That God Gave him (Moses) to pen down.
According to: (Luke 2:1-6) which tells us that Joseph and Mary although from Judea, now lived in Galilee, in the city of Nazareth… {that prophesy be fulfilled} (Matthew 2:23) He shall be called a Nazarene… AND while they were there Mary , the days were accomplished…
Some use the word young child
to confirm that Jesus was no longer a babe…But! READ:(Luke 2:5) Mary being great with *child*… refers to an unborn babe as a child . & (Matt. 1:23) “a virgin shall be with child”.. SO there goes that profound fact out the window…. This is written similar in the NKJV but reads: who was with child… still meaning and unborn babe… Now the clincher that really shows that Jesus was not two years old, but most likely a New Born Babe is found in (Luke2:22-39)…especially (v’s. 22 & 39) when the days of her purification …according to the law of Moses…were accomplished, they brought Him to Jerusalem… to the Temple…bringing Mary’s cleansing sacrifice.. according to: (Leviticus 12:1-8)….she could not come into the Sanctuary until the 30 days of purification were accomplished…but when the 40 days are done she must bring a sacrifice unto the priest…
And! Immediately after all things were done according to the law, they returned to: Galilee: unto their own city Nazareth! (v.39 of Luke 2) & (Matt. 2:23)
BUT, we must understand that unless the people are ~Taught~ in truth, what is learned IS nothing more than false vanity… AND, Unless folks really care and want to seek *TRUTH*, they are content with what ever sounds good to their itching ears…
(II Timothy 4:3-5).. For the time ~Will come~ when they will ~Not~ endure *Sound Doctrine*; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears ~from THE Truth~, and shall be turned unto ~Fables~.. (Tales, Santa Claus, Lighted Trees, Tales of Made up miracles that only happen at this time of year, Easter Rabbits, hallowed spooks, and such… found in false doctrines and teachings.) BUT, *Watch* thou IN ~ALL~ Things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make ~FULL PROOF~ Of thy Ministry…. Prove what you teach, HOW? AS IT IS Written IN The Biblical Scriptures
This IS the days that we are living in, and so many are being led to ~The beauty, and fun, and passion of the seasonal celebrations, getting caught up in the flurry of tales of false teachings, that are claimed to be just for fun, but did Jesus teach us that these last days would be *FUN*?
Read, by subject, Study, by subject, compare some scriptures learn to understand ALL OF the Blessed Account of The Birth of God’s Own Son on this earth… IT Will help us have a better understanding of why the pagan customs that have entered into the ~Memorial Event~ of Christ Birth is an offense…

Responsible Accountability

Accountability. Many folks seek and follow the religion that lifts the burden of accountability off their shoulders… Making the `freedom` of faith to be portrayed as a lack of responsibility… Expressing NO explanations of their actions TO: ~No One~ FOR: ~Nothing~… Claiming a Jesus only belief, Because *IN* Christ IS Freedom….. This IS the message that many “Preachers” present the congregations.. WHY? Because *IT* IS an ~Easy Religion~ No worries, anything goes so we don’t have to Stop, Think, Examine, and “Prove” our faith, by our walk, but rather we can relax in the ways of the world and just let Jesus do IT ALL For us… Where IT IS True that we are free in Christ, a close reading OF the scriptures really prove, what that “Freedom” IS. Read of Daniel and The Hebrew children, for examples of living freely in Christ, while walking yet in bondage… They were not free to change their God, or HIS Teachings into their way, but they were free TO Stand on HIS Word, and walk in HIS Way, even though they were imprisoned in another nation… Much like the small handful of true Christians today…. Consider at this point, Jesus Words Written down for us, “many are called, BUT few are chosen” … (Matthew 22:14) .. And Paul explained In, (I Corinthians 1:17-31) ending with the Important Message, “he that glorieth, let him ~Glory In THE LORD~”….
The easiest opinion taught, for a vain person to swallow IS: A ‘Man’ Formed Freedom IN Christ Jesus.
First IT IS Taught That mankind cannot ~Please~ God THE Father… No man in History, IT IS Purported, has ever pleased God… What did Paul teach about ~Pleasing God~?
(Hebrews 11: 5-6).. “BY Faith”, Enoch, was translated, that he should not see death; and was not found, ~Because~ God had translated him: FOR ~Before~ his translation, he (Enoch) had ~This Testimony~, that he *Pleased God
*… BUT ~Without *Faith*~ , *IT IS* Impossible to Please HIM (God): For he that cometh TO: God ~MUST~ *Believe* That HE (GOD) *IS*. AND That HE (God) *IS* A Rewarder of them that ~Diligently Seek~ HIM… Strange how so many folks will teach their precious little children, to ~Please~ the mythical character, Santa Claus or they won’t get any presents… While choosing to, Never give a hint of The Real Need in this life of preparing for the hereafter, by ~Pleasing~ THE LORD God Almighty, THE ONE WHO Truly holds their little lives in HIS Hands…. Mainly because this is the way they have been taught, by clergy that mingles the world into the Biblical teachings that they present, making IT Okay to do as we please, and just let Jesus fix it… That’s His Job…
Pick up THE KJV Bible and read the whole Chapter 11 of Hebrews, for a better explanation of “Pleasing GOD
through our Faith IN HIM” as well as proving our faith by our actions….. ALSO how our actions can be and ARE “Displeasing God”. (Numbers 11:1).. When the ~people~ complained, *IT* ~Displeased~ THE LORD: AND THE LORD heard *IT*; and HIS anger was kindled….
Let us also ~Remember~ Jesus Christ IS the same yesterday, to day, and for ever…(Hebrews 13:8) AND SO IS WIRH THE Father… (John 14:9) (John 6:44) and many more show that we cannot have a belief in Jesus Christ, without THE Father, and visa versa… And to attempt this feat places us in the category of being “antichrist”. (I John 2:22)
The statement that we, the people, “Cannot Please God
”, leaves a big gap in our responsibility of surrender in faith to THE MAKER, and places us in a ~free to walk in the flesh state of mind~… Because we have gladly accepted that Jesus Will BE Responsible for our actions, no matter what we do… Namely leaving a whole wide path of sins that mankind can, and does, feel free to walk in because they are not accountable for their ~OWN~ actions. Making THE conscious thought OF *Repentance*, void in our lives… BUT, John The Baptist, Jesus Christ, and others came preaching and teaching, what? “Repentance”! An act of , feeling regret at the ways of ~our~ sins, nothing less than accounting our actions…. Right? Read (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; & Mark 6:12) Jesus sent the disciples out with the ~Instructions~ to preach repentance, but *IF* the people would not receive them or hear them, they should shake the dust off of their heels as a testimony against these people…. AND, *IF* we must repent of our sin and believe, then we must be accountably responsible for our actions. AND we must depend on our *Advocate* (Jesus Christ AS our Lawyer) with THE Father to argue our case of repentance with THE Father… AS Jesus does not just automatically place His Righteousness in us, BUT we are rather TO Seek His Righteousness TO follow His Path that He Set Before us….. (John 10: 27) Jesus Said, “My sheep hear My Voice, and I Know Them, AND ~they~ follow Me.” Also read (John 12:26; Mark 10:21) & (I Peter 2:21).. Tells us even after Jesus had Ascended that we are TO Follow Jesus Steps… not ours, not make a new way or a new path, neither set back and expect Jesus TO live our life here for us, but `we` have a work, commissioned by Jesus To Do…. Again Paul wrote to the Galatians,
(Galatians 1:10) .. For do I (Paul) now persuade men, OR God? OR Do I (Paul) seek to please men? FOR *IF* I (Paul) yet pleased men, I (Paul) should ~Not~ Be the servant of Christ…
Paul obviously realized that he must walk through and live this life here as ~PLEASING
~ The Father God, or else he would not be a servant (Follower) of Christ….. (Hebrews 13:16).. But to do ~Good~ and TO ~Communicate~ forget NOT: FOR WITH SUCH ‘sacrifices’ God IS Well Pleased
… (I Kings 3: 10) And the speech ~pleased
~ THE LORD that Solomon had asked this thing… (11) AND, God said unto him, (King Solomon), ~Because~ thou hast asked this thing and not asked for thyself…. Read the whole account in The KJV Bible… (Colossians 3:20).. Children, ~OBEY~ your parents in all things: for this is ~Well *Pleasing
* unto THE LORD~~…. (Mark 1:11) .. There came a ~Voice~ from heaven, saying, “Thou art MY Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased… Yes The Father was pleased
with HIS Son…. (I Corinthians 10:5)… But with many of them God was not well pleased: FOR they were overthrown in the wilderness….
Wonder why there are so many problems in this world today *IF* man cannot please or displease God, but strives to live through the ~righteousness of Jesus Christ~, doing as we please under the belief that The Righteousness OF Jesus, will hide our sins, or that what we do or do not do has no bearing, whatsoever on pleasing God? Sounds like American politics, morals, and lifestyles doesn’t it? Remember also that Jesus took on man’s sin, bore the cross, and accomplished all, enduring but ~despising~ the shame…(Hebrews 12:2) (Hebrews 6:6) do we want to crucify Christ anew each day that we choose to rebel against sound teaching and depend on Christ to wash us clean even in our arrogance?
I Corinthians 10:5 kinda sums up the whole of the subject of this belief of freedom in Christ… Especially if you go back and read Exodus and Leviticus and see the ~Commands~ which God gave HIS People then, and how many of them *Disobeyed* them… NOT Just the 10 Commandments, BUT ~ALL~ of God’s Commands… IT IS The same today as IT Was then… *IF* God Commands *IT* then mankind MUST OBEY *IT*… AND yes it is easier to obey *IF* we are willing minded, to ~Follow~ Jesus Christ… and accept the walk that He leads us through…in fact this IS The Only Way.. True Also. “The righteousness” of man IS nothing more than filthy rags… man without Jesus, without the walk that Jesus laid for us…
Read all that Isaiah wrote, the rest of the story so to speak…
(Isaiah 64:4-6) For since ~The Beginning of the world~, men have not heard, nor perceived by ear, neither hath eye seen, O God, Beside THEE, what HE hath prepared for him that ~Waiteth~ for HIM… Thou meetest him that ~Rejoiceth and worketh *Righteousness*~, those that ~Remember~ THEE in THY Ways: Behold, THOU, (The LORD God) art wroth; FOR we have ~~Sinned~~: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved… BUT we are as an unclean thing….
Every time God IS displeased with mankind IT IS Because man has moved out on his own to make his own ~religion~, “Disobeyed”, to believe his own way, make his own righteousness, and in this sense YES, the righteousness of man IS AS Filthy Rags… BUT God has given mankind a ~BOOK~ of Instruction, and a Spirit of Guidance in the path that God intends that man should walk…to work out our own salvation (Philippians 2:12).. To reject IT, change IT, ignore IT, is mankind’s, downfall…
(Romans 3:22).. Even the *Righteousness of God*, which *IS* By ~Faith~ OF Jesus Christ unto ~ALL~ and upon all them that ~Believe~: for there IS No Difference…
Another misnomer of freedom in Christ IS: “IN Christ ~ALL~ our sins are hidden,” and God The Father can’t see them, because Jesus Christ hides them from HIM.
This teaching tends to cast a dark shadow of doubt upon the Lord, Jesus Christ, because IT portrays Him as being like mankind still, deceitful and underhanded… as though He is going to attempt to ~Hide~ anything from His Father and ours? Read on….
Jesus, Himself spoke this warning to men as He walked this earth among them..
(Luke 12:2-3)… “For there IS ~nothing~ covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be ~Known~…. therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness, shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the housetops…”
(Colossians 3:1-2).. Paul wrote… *IF*, ye them be ~risen~ *With* Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the ~right hand~ of God… Set your affection on things above, ~NOT~ on things on the earth… For ye are dead, and your life IS hid ~~WITH
~~ Christ in God…. This is a ~Scripture~ that is misquoted many times in the ~ALL your sins are hidden in Christ~, teaching… For IT reads *With* Christ *IN* God.. So Jesus is not attempting to hid anything from His Father and ours… But HAS/DID/DOES overcome our sins for us to the Father as, He (Jesus) IS “The Propitiation; (to appease, to win a victory over) ~FOR~ our sins: AND ~NOT~ ours ~Only~, BUT also for the sins of the whole world…. (I John 2:2)
Also AS John (The Apostle which walked ~With~ Jesus) Wrote: (I John 2:1) To: my little children, these things I (John) write unto you, (the people) ~That ye sin NOT~… (In other words be in control of yourselves and sin not.) AND *IF* any man sin, (man being imperfect, and prone to failing, not as some folks teach that we ~CANNOT~ sin because Jesus Will NOT LET US. Because we do and we will as long as we live in these fleshly bodies!) BUT John tells us, “we have an “Advocate” ~WITH~ THE Father, (and that Advocate IS,) Jesus Christ The Righteous:;;; AND (v.3) .. “Hereby we do ~Know~ that we Know Him, *IF*… we keep His Commandments…” Notice carefully, John DID NOT Write, Jesus Will keep us righteous, but he warns us to “KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS”. John also warns us, that we sin not…. And on in Chapter 3 John warns tells us, he that doeth righteousness *IS* righteous, even ~AS~ He (Jesus Christ) *IS* Righteous……
Not that He makes us keep His Commandments, NOT that He Will Not let us break His Commandments, BUT THAT HE, expects HIS children to be consciously obedient to: HIS Commandments… Which reflects a responsibility of “Accountability” by each individual on this earth… AND That Accountability IS TO: God THE Father, Through Jesus Christ The Son, our Redeemer…..

OF Zombie's And Halloween "Fun"

“Zombie day” at school… Parents, have you really thought about the eternal repercussions of a celebration a taking part in such un-Godly affairs can bring upon your child and your whole family? You should, and seriously.
First, the school system does not allow visible prayer to be held in it… This does not stop a child from praying to God the Father in Jesus Name in silent thought even as they walk down the halls… they first must be taught to.. But it makes a statement as to where the system is headed…Second, the LORD’S Holy Book, The Bible is not allowed in the school system,, BUT! All the books of the occult and demonic powers are… and obviously the dress and actions of the occult is sanctioned… Even in the mascot name of the sports team.. Blue Devils… giving tribute to whom?This doesn’t stop you and your child from reading God’s Word the Bible and seeking HIS Protection through a wholesome knowledge of the Truth’s Of God’s Written Word… But do you??? Do you take the time to arm your child and yourself with the kind of protection that will keep them from demonic possessions?… Have you thought about what kind of example you set for your child, by taking part in the parade of horror mask that is sold in the markets this time of year? … Do you even, though given still the free choice, promote by your actions a walk with God, or a walk with the world? Do you teach your child from God’s Written Word that this is of the devil, OR, do you also think like so many of the world that this is just a joking matter, only a fun thing to do, “boo, I scared you”?…
OR even worse are you so indifferent to THE True Biblical Teachings, even though calling yourself a “Christian”, that you feel free to indulge in any matter of actions and vainly think that God IS Pleased with *IT*? IS your involvement and embracing of such heinous activities a result of not wanting to be ~Different~ but just go along with the crowd, don’t make waves or make anyone angry or to dislike you because you ~Stand~ on Bible Principles, instead of flowing with the lost and dying world of Satan the devil? AND *IF* this IS your reasoning, HOW on earth can you instruct your children, NOT to be influenced by others to take drugs, or follow the wrong crowds into a life of crime, and danger?
Well, Here IS A GOOD TIME TO, Take a look at your own life style, interest, reasons, FOR, IT IS Written, that IT Isn’t God‘s Will that HIS people should take part in these things and IT Certainly isn‘t following the examples that Jesus set for us to follow IN God‘s Way! Protection of God, Will only be given by an obedient walk in HIS Will and Way… IF you choose to follow the world led by Satan and the demons, subjecting your families to the spiritual evils that lurk behind the grotesque mask of Halloween and the bloody occults of Satanic followers through the games of the dead, keeping up with “Hollywood Movies” of these things, keeping them in your life, eventually moves them into your heart, then God will, According to HIS Written Word, turn you over to the very thing that you serve… Think about it! A Zombie is: a mythical mindless creature of the undead…. What are those that worship a Zombie by dressing up and acting like one? Teachers; leaders; especially Christians, do you? Do you dress in the seasonal attire of the dead, promote the things that are taught by the actions, or do you stand firmly on God’s Written Word, teaching that this day represents evil in it’s dress, rather than fun? There are many who will declare, “there is nothing wrong with it if we just do it for fun”, what do you suppose Eve and Adam’s excuse was?(Titus 1:16.).. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny HIM, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate….
II Timothy 3:8.… so do these resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith….
(Romans 1:28)...even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind…. &
(I Samuel 16:14).… the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him… Does evil come from God? Yes!
(Isaiah 45:7).…(1) Thus saith, The LORD: “I form the light, I create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I The LORD do ALL These things…… Are we free to do what we want and call it fun if it means taking part in evil looking actions or effects? NO!
(Deuteronomy 30:15)... See, I (The LORD) have set before thee this day, life and good, and death and evil;…. Can we as teachers promote the gruesome mask of Halloween and be blameless for our examples that we set before the children? NO!
(Isaiah 5:20)...Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness… Is it the duty of parents and teachers to lead the children in the right path?
(Amos 5:14)...Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken…. (15) .. Hate the evil, and love the good…
Folks to even make fun of evil is putting yourselves in a bad situation, to take part in it, teach it to the children, making it seem harmless, is putting yourself and the children in the position of tasting the wrath of God….. God put *BOTH* good and evil before us FOR what reason? That we may, and must prove, ourselves by making *A Choice* to do either good and stick by IT to live, or follow evil and die… IT IS ~ALL~ up to you which path you choose to walk.. As Jesus taught….
(Matthew 7:13).. “Enter ye in ~AT~ the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and ~~MANY~~ there be which go in thereat: (22).. ~MANY~ will say to ME (Jesus) in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in THY NAME? and in THY NAME have cast out devils? AND IN THEY NAME done many wonderful works? And then will, I (Jesus) profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from Me, ye that work iniquity… Therefore whosoever ~Heareth~ these sayings of Mine, AND doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock…”
So just sitting in the Church or teaching, preaching, leading the music in the Church, hearing God’s Commands TO *Leave *IT* ALL Alone*, isn’t enough, we gotta live as Jesus said, as God demands and depart from the wicked, evil paths….of darkness…..keep our lives clean, walk in the light of God’s path, not be found dabbling in the ~occult~ in any way, shape, form, or fashion.
