Sin = Disobedience……. Disobedience = Sin…. Neither word is greater than the other because they are both equal… in that sin throughout the Bible, and in our lives IS nothing more or less than…. Disobeying one of God’s Commandments, and that puts one in the class of being evil…. And when you disobey one you have broken them alllllllllllll….. Think about this!
(James 2:10)…whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in **ONE** point IS guilty of ALL…. There is a lot to be considered here if you will…… Just as Satan played the game of disobedience with Eve… he still plays so many games with people today… They look like fun, they offer *NO* harm… OR do they…. They are simple…. But what impact do they carry?…
Everyone knows or should, that the Ouija Board is an open invitation to the evil spirits…inviting them in to possess ones body, thoughts, mind… taking control of and yes eventually destroying that person…OR child if a parent IS care-less enough to allow a child to play with it….
BUTTTTTT, Have you thought of, considered some of the more simple games, that are just as dangerously deadly? Some are even carried into the Sunday School rooms…some are sanctioned by preachers as just a way of relaxing and having fun….. Music.. lyrics titles…words…meanings??
(Matthew 5:19)….Jesus said…. “Whosoever shall *Break*…ONE of These Least Commandments, &&&& Shall Teach men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven…..
Go back to the garden… who crawls on their belly… who is the despicable adversary of Christ?
When we openly play games that even slightly hint of disobedience to God’s Will and Way, we stand in opposition of Christ, by holding hands with Satan, the Devil, the serpent….So one that professes to be a follower of Christ has to be very careful what they condone… because that one is setting the example OF::: teaching men… SOOOOO if you imply even in fun games that: one can *Steal* points, as is taught in some games, entertain the spirits of ~the dead~ or seek them through mediums, drink wonderful alcoholic beverages…OR in any way cheat, lie, steal, joke, against God….then you have broken a statute of God… and you are setting an example of teaching others that it is good to cheat, lie, and steal……
Think seriously about the very first act of: ~sin, disobedience, act of evil~ against God~. Did Eve set out in her way to seek the darkness of destruction, OR did she see something beautiful, desirable and pleasing to the eye, *good for food*, and seek to partake of it? How many of us see and seek things that appear to be ~good~ teaching tools for the Gospel of God’s Kingdom to improve out skills in a ~good~ way, but these ways are not God’s Ways… Face painting our children is teaching them to seek tattoo’s, which God’s Written Word warns us not to do… (Leviticus 19:28) .. IS IT Pleasing to God. To break HIS Command, in order to witness of HIS Son Jesus, by tattooing (cutting and painting) a cross on our flesh? OR IS IT pleasing to God that we do as HE Instructed us to do through HIS Son Jesus Christ and preach and teach, “The Gospel of HIS Kingdom”, to ~ALL~ nations, as Jesus exampled for us? Simply by using the mouth, and voice that God gave us and walking in the path that Jesus set that we should follow? God has given us ~ALL~ that we need. The things of men and Satan’s realm which we seek is neither necessary or helpful, but destructive to us and all that we teach by these methods.
(Matthew 6:19-24)…Jesus said again: “Lay not up for yourselves **treasures**upon the earth…but lay for yourselves treasures up in heaven.. Where your treasure is…there your heart will be…. The light of the *body* IS the eye:…NO man can serve *two* masters……
(Exodus 20:1-26)God spake ALL These words… “Thou Shalt NOT”… & *ALL* the people saw thundering & lightnings…And Moses said,… “Fear not for God IS Come TO Prove you, that HIS FEAR, may be before your faces that ye ~~SIN~~ NOT……. SOOOO we are not hid from God, but rather what we do IS before God and HE Gave us Laws and Statutes to abide by that we prove our walk through this life IN HIS Will and Way….. Read all these verse’s in the Bible please… for I write nothing that is not already written and commanded in HIS Written Word…….WE simply must use good sound judgment in our every action refusing to be involved in anything that hints of the breaking of God’s Law through an act of sinful disobedience… as Eve thought she was doing good.. It was in fact evil…..
The Father judges according to every mans work…(I Peter 1:17)… & seeing that you have purified your souls IN obeying the Truth through the Spirit… ~Love~ one another with a pure heart.. (22)… The WORD of the LORD endureth forever…(25)
We readily call ISIS ~evil~ as we see we so judge, yet we demand that we not be judged by no man, quoting (Matt.7:1). How can we sit in this position? Do we read the rest of the scriptures? Did not Jesus say: “ye shall know them by their fruits”? (Matthew 7:16) & (Matt. 7: 21) … ~Not~ every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
SOOOOO we really have to be careful what we speak… know the meaning and value of our words and actions… especially if we call ourselves Christians…because by example or by ignorance we can bring the shadow of darkness into our lives, over our own heads, and to others around us that we love… simply by proving ourselves ~evil~ in our own good way, sinful through unnecessary ignorance in disobedience… our willingness to sin rather than to learn how, and what to humbly obey……

Fasting And Praying
How serious are we, the people which call ourselves, Christians, about the things that we say? Do we actually mean it to the point of acting upon our words, when we say we should pray for God to heal this nation? Understanding, from the reading of God’s Written Word THE Bible, that God has said this world is reserved for a fiery destruction, should we pray that this nation be healed? Well we know where the answers are written, don’t we?
(II Peter 3: 10-12 KJV)…10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat , the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up . 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved , what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved , and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
There are signs adorning many lawns of people, quoting, (II Chronicles 7:14)….If my people, which are called by MY NAME, shall, ~ humble themselves, and pray,~ and seek MY face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. BUT do we ever ~READ~, as, Paul Harvey always said, “The Rest of The Story”? (v’s. 15-20).. Reads: -- Now MINE Eyes shall be open , and MINE Ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and sanctified ~this house,~ that MY NAME may be there for ever: and MINE Eyes and MINE Heart shall be there perpetually. And as for thee, *IF* thou ~wilt~ walk before ME, as David thy father walked , and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and ~shalt observe~ MY Statutes and MY Judgments; Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. ** But *IF* ye turn away , and ~forsake MY statutes and MY commandments~, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20- Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for MY NAME, will I cast out of MY sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among ~~all nations~~.
(Ezra 8: 21) Ezra unsure of what step to take next: proclaimed a fast to seek the right way
before God, for our little ones and our substance…
So as I read throughout the Bible of fasting and praying I find that it is a humble audition before the LORD to beg HIS will and His guidance in our lives…To ask HIS Spirit to help us in our afflictions, to show our willingness to do HIS Will and to focus entirely upon the Word.. NOT the world… As the followers of Christ were so interested in what He was teaching that His Words became more important to them than food for the body… That is to sincerely seek God’s Will and Way… To fast and pray.. But as Jesus showed compassion to these people, and gave them food, we are not to afflict ourselves with fasting unto our harm. Neither are we to make a spectacle of ourselves in our fasting and praying before God..
(Matthew 6:18 KJV)…That thou appear not unto men to fast , but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly .
(Matthew 17: 20b - 21 KJV) …(the disciples asked Jesus.) Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove ; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
In our hasty praying and then skipping out to a fattened meal and a movie or some sort of entertainment that the world has to offer, does this action erase our momentary thought of prayer to God, on behalf of someone’s pain and suffering, sickness, casting out demons, and yes. The world IS full of the devil and his demons going about to consume all that can be misled into eternal destruction, let us NOT help them, but rather fight against them in the ~Good Fight~ of teaching the Truth of God’s Kingdom, while there is time to teach … Just think what this nation could be like IF, just the ones who claim Christianity fasted and prayed as The Bible tells us we should do….
