Pride, The Thrill Kill

(Proverbs 16:18) “Pride”, goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
(Proverbs 29:23),,A man’s ~pride~ shall bring him low:  BUT honour shall uphold the ~humble in spirit.~
(Ezekiel 7:10).. Behold the day,  Behold,  IT IS Come:  The morning is gone forth;  the rod has blossomed,  ~pride~ hath budded.
I have bit my tongue almost off, trying to tolerate, but The LORD won’t let me remain quiet… The farmers, and ranchers, don’t post pictures and brag about how many cattle or pigs they have killed, bagged, butchered, slaughtered, for our food consumption,  so ~WHY~ is it such a ~Prideful~ thing to kill a deer?  IS IT A *Thrill Kill*, that is excused as food for the table… Folks even display their children covered with the blood of an animal which they shot, as if it were a great thing, a bragging point,  a thing of ~pride~…. Do we really stop and think about our Heavenly Father when we do this, or are we so caught up in the world and the pride in ourselves that we can’t see any farther?…  It hurts my heart to see pictures of a dead animal and a person with a gun posing spattered with blood all over, and bragging about how big it is, or the size of it’s rack…
Now I’m not against supplying food for the table, I am not a protestor of guns, or the right to hunt… But what does sadden my heart is the ~Thrill~ kill manner of showing worldly pride in the hunt… I realize folks call it a ~Sport~… But IS IT? Should IT BE? IF we are really hunting for food for the table, then there is no sport about it, but necessity….
This type of displaying of pride, seems to me to be the same attitude of one that has no respect for ~life~, and would be a staunch advocate of things like abortion, because  the pride of their heart grows and expands with each thrill kill…  Just saying,  should we rethink our attitudes of killing, why we do it,  how we do it,  search the inner feeling of our heart, as we reason according to as it is written, our manner should be?
(I Timothy 3:6).. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into condemnation of the devil…
(I John 2:16).. 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….

The Real Dangers OF Goulish Fun

Right out of the chute let me say that I am writing this warning, fully aware that IT IS Going to be a bitter pill for many folks to swallow.. How do I know this?  Because IT  was for me, when folks tried to warn me that I was going to get into trouble IF, I did not let these things alone… These things being:  promoting the witches, goblins, ghost, on the day of the celebration of the dead.  Oh, there weren’t but a precious few  that gave me warning of this practice… WHY?  Because,  IT IS and IT Has been a popular celebration of  ~the unknown~, ~the scary side of  warped fun~,  a feeling of walking on the creepy side of, “BOO”  I scared you, for years…
Then there were more folks which warned me of playing games which are on the market,  to help children or adults to seek spirits of the unknown, magical  spells,  talk to those passed on, or seek a treasure which only a spirit knows where it is hidden… Then there were the ones who like me claimed it to be all in fun,  we were adult enough to realize that it wasn’t real, or was IT?
At the first crack  of the ball against the bat,  this sounds like a deep dark  mystery  which we might read from off the shelf next to:  “Harry Potter”,  “Vampire Diaries”,  or  “The Walking Dead”…  ALL ~entertainment ~right~? Well folks, I am here to tell you that  JUST AS SURE  AS God IS Real,  so are the forces of ~evil~ which HE Will allow to take possession of people, who rebel against HIM… People who sit in the same position as did Lucifer so many years ago…(Isaiah 14).. AND,  the fun filled obsessions of  “Halloween”  fever, IS the first step in the direction of a huge, boiling cauldron of trouble… AND,  our Serious Maker, does not accept our excuses OF: “It’s Just For Fun”,  *IF* IT IS Written that God Said, “LEAVE IT ALONE”.  AND, IT IS Written IN God’s Book OF ~ALL~ Instruction for us to read, learn, share,  that we and others may have ~life eternal~  and NOT ~eternal damnation~..
DRASTIC?   You better believe IT IS.  Not to be taken lightly,  made a joke of, or hidden away, in hopes that THE LORD Won’t see what we are  doing….
(II Chronicles 16:9)… For ~The Eyes~  of THE LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them ~whose heart is perfect~  toward HIM.
(I Peter 3:12)… For ~The Eyes~  of  The Lord are ~over~ the righteous~,  and HIS ~Ears~ Are ~open~ unto their ~prayers:  BUT the Face of The Lord IS ~Against~ them that do evil…
I might add here that to do ~evil~  IS TO ~Disobey~ any one of God’s Commandments for us and there ARE Many More than ~TEN~,  and this is sin…
(Deuteronomy 30:15-16a)….See,  I have set before thee this day;  ~life & good~  and ~death & evil~;  IN that I (The LORD God)  command thee this day to:  “Love The LORD thy God,  to walk in HIS Ways, and to keep HIS Commandments….
THE Father,  commanded this in The Old Testament,  AND HIS Son, Jesus Christ, reiterated IT In The New Testament.  NOT just once BUT, many, many times…
(Deuteronomy 30:19).. I,  (THE LORD God)  call heaven and earth to record this day against you,  ~THAT~,  I  have set before you,  “life & death”,  “blessing & cursing”:   ~Therefore~  *Choose*  life,  that both thou and thy seed may live…
(John 5:24) .. And Jesus Said,  “Verily, verily,  I say unto you,  he that  ~heareth~ My Word,  and ~believeth~ on HIM  that ~sent~ Me,  hath everlasting life,  and shall not come into condemnation;  but Is passed from death unto life.”
(John 15:10)..  Again Jesus Said:  “IF ye ~keep~  My Commandments,  ye shall abide in My Love;  even as I have kept My Father’s Commandments,  and abide in HIS LOVE.”
This one verse answers so many questions of one seeking to learn of  The Father, and The Son,  of how to live the life which God has granted us to live here on this earth.
(I John 3:22).. And whatsoever we  ask,  we receive of HIM, ~BECAUSE~ we keep HIS Commandments,  AND DO, those things that are pleasing in HIS Sight...
What are the things which are pleasing in The Sight of God?   Spooks, witches, goblins, make believe  magical things, elements of darkness, spirits of the dead?  Read on.
(Jude 1:21)… “*KEEP*  yourselves in the ~Love of God~,  *Looking*  for the ~Mercy~  of our Lord Jesus Christ,  unto  eternal life.”
There are a great number of folks which get involved in the spookiness of Halloween because IT Seems to be a fun thing to do, AND they have been taught that they have nothing, nada, zilch to do,  but live their life here as they please because Jesus paid the sin debt for all time… AND yes He Did,  BUT  ~we~ the people are still accountable for our actions, where we walk, how we talk,  *WHO*  we serve….  Believe IT or NOT!
(Galatians 5:20) .. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,  variance, emulations, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies,
(Deuteronomy 18:10)…There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
(I John 4:1)…Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
(Isaiah 8:9)…And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
(Matthew 12: 43 & 45 in part).. Again Jesus said:  “When the ~unclean spirit~  IS gone out of a man…. (45).. Then goeth he (the unclean or evil spirit)  AND taketh with him seven other spirits, more wicked than himself,  and they enter in and dwell there;  and the last state of ~that man~ (or woman)  IS worse than the first… Even SO shall IT Be unto this wicked generation….
Now folks will readily agree that “Halloween IS Wicked”  a day of  haunting by evil spirits,  of the dead… But they  still commit to indulge in the anti Christ like antics that are carried on, on this day, joining the antichrist, or atheistic believers in a frenzied carrying on of ungodly dress, games, and actions along with leading the children in the game of , “Trick or Treat”,  and expect our Savior to still smile on our ignorance, on our turning our backs on The Heavenly Father in wild abandonment of  our moral sanity,  to embrace a pagan originated tradition of men.   Why do we not Just ~Stop~, and think what we are doing?
(Acts 17:30)… And ~the times~ of this ~ignorance~  God winked at;  BUT Now ~Commandeth~ ALL men every where to repent:
(Ephesians 4:18)… Having the understanding ~darkened~, being ~alienated~  From the ~Life of God~ through the ignorance that is in them,  because of the blindness of their heart.
I didn’t, not until IT was too late, not until the Mighty Hand of God turned me over to the spirits of evil and took me way down, down to see the ashes that smoldered as I lay in a state of semi-consciousness.… IT took a lot of people praying, to bring me back to a point where I could pray for myself… And when I could The LORD let me see how far I had fallen,  and what I had to do to keep myself  in  HIS LOVE,  AS IT IS Written… (John 5:24 & Jude 1:21).. It has been a rough road,  and  again IT IS Written … IF, they world hate you, ye know that IT hated Me before it hated you… (John 15:18)
Now I realize that there Will be some who won’t even read this, because it is kinda long, there will be some who will view IT as hogwash,  BUT IF,  one person reads this,  takes it that life saving step further, by ~Searching~  out and proving the validity of the contents written herein, by The King James Version of  The Bible, offers up that prayer of repentance and seeks the Guidance of The Holy Spirit to lead them to learn God’s Will and Way, for them in this life,  through HIS Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, then my heart will be filled with joy..
(Proverbs 2:  1- 7).. MY son, *IF* thou wilt receive MY Words,  and hide MY Commandments with thee,  so that thou incline thine ear unto ~Wisdom~, and ~apply~ thine heart to ~understanding;  Yea,  *IF*  thou criest after knowledge,  and liftest up thy voice for understanding,  *IF*  thou ~Seekest~ her as silver and searchest for her as hidden treasures;  Then shalt thou ~understand~ the ~FEAR~  of THE LORD,  and find ~Knowledge~  OF God,  For THE LORD ~Giveth~  wisdom, our of HIS Mouth cometh understanding…..
