Justifying the Path of Error

Proverbs 14: 5 An honest witness will never lie, but a deceitful witness lies with every breath. 6 The intellectually arrogant seek for wisdom, bu they never seem to discover what they claim they are looking for. For revelation-knowledge flows to the one who hungers for understanding. 7 The words of the wise are like weapons of knowledge. If you need wise counsel stay away from the fool. For the wisdom of the wise will keep life on the right track, while the fool only deceives himself and refuses to face reality. 9 Fools mock the need for repentance while the favor of God rests upon all his lovers. 10 Don't expect anyone else to full understand both the bitterness and the joys of all you experience  in your life. 11 The household of the wicked is soon torn apart, while the family of the righteous flourishes. 12 You can rationalize it all you want and justify the path of error you have chosen, but you will find out in the end that you took the road to destruction. The Passion Translation

When Cain slew Abel, he saw his way as the right path. Yet we are told only one was working righteously and the other was not.

Genesis 4: 6-8 NKJV So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?  7 “if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.  8 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother, and it came to pass, when they were in the filed, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him." 

Sin lies at the door: the language personifies that sin is a demon crouching! In the New Spirit Filled Life Bible it regards it or gives the description of a "crazed animal" at Cain's doorstep. Cain was out for revenge but had made no point of repentance. For the rest of his life ( which probably lasted several hundred years ) Cain would have to wander about as a marked man and he cried out to the Lord that his punishment ( not his guilt ) was more that the could bear. (Genesis 4:9-13) a huge difference between sin-sorrow and guilt-sorrow.

Cain in this manner had no Sin-sorrow in his heart attitude for in that sin-sorrow will produce reformation, an eagerness to provide restitution, as necessary, and a determination to glorify God in every aspect of life.   Cain did not have a change of heart resulting in complete agreement with God over this serious matter.  

Genesis 4:9 Then the LORD said  to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know, "Am I my brother's keeper?" 10 And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground. 11 So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. 12 When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.' 13 And Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear!" 14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face, I shall be a fugitive and vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.

From history we are told Cain's relative Lamech was even more depraved than him. He killed a young man for merely hurting him. ( Genesis 4:23-24) Cain chose to plant seeds, but Abel raised the sheep. Abel had the sacrifice that God required and Cain did not. Heard recently of a teaching about where Abel was killed. It was a sacrifice to the gods Cain worshiped. And it was an opening in the ground Jesus addressed when He came to earth. He went to the grottoes where other gods had been worshiped, like Pan. I am still working on this teaching indeed and learning all scriptures from Old Testament.

But one thing is certain God requires our attention to what He desires in worship. And if our neighbor is bothering us....maybe we should pay attention to the right path of which God provides.

Proverbs 13: 19 When God fulfills your longings, sweetness fills your soul. But the wicked refuse to turn from darkness to see their desires come to pass!  20 If you want to grow in wisdom, spend time with the wise. Walk with the wicked and you will eventually become just like them. 21 Calamity chases the sin-chaser, but prosperity pursues the God-lover.

Is that not going on today where you live? Are not those looking for wicked ways aligning with calamity where sin-chasers work? But prosperity will be seen in righteous home. Amen!

Is this really Fruit Loops?

 

 Fruit should appear as fruit and taste like it! 

When our daughter had just completed kindergarten, the new school year was about to begin and there was a project of one cereal company to add a bonus packaged cereal to your big family sized box of cereal. To us, it meant someone was trying to manipulate our child ( or children) into this new way of eating too much sugar. And at the time, we had gotten a box of cereal, something like with bran but there was something added like a bonus called fruit loops was attached to the box. 

Of course, when our daughter saw it, she asked for it. Not to have a fight about cereal, we opened it, although adding no milk to it, but only putting some in her hand for taste. Telling her to taste each color, and then she spoke that they all tasted the same. Then she said, " why would they call it fruit loops"? She tasted the last color exploding with the sugared flavor, she shook her head, and walked away and I am left holding this small box of cereal, oops I mean this box of sugar and put it away for good. ( And I was wondering how someone could get away with telling another as a child that the colored stuff was fruit!) Now anything from the beginning given as a lie will not make a foundation firm for anything! 

On thinking about this early on today, I was reminded of an incident that is in the Old Testament. It was this: Genesis 38: It came to pass at that time that Judah departed from his brother's and visited a certain Adullamite whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua, and he married her and went in to her. 3 So she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er. 4 She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan. 5 And she conceived yet again and bore a son and called His name Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him. 6 Then Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah's firstborn was wicked in the sight of the LORD and the LORD killed him.

You know visiting others not with God, is everything outside of God and outside of purpose in God. Judah lusted after a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. From the Dake's study Bible, they listed Er as being fifteen years old when he took Tamar as his wife!

Genesis 38: 8 and Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife and marry her and raise up an heir to your brother." 9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD; therefore He killed him also. 11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "remain a widow in your father's house till my son Shelah is grown." For he said, "Lest he also die like his brothers." And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house. 

Genesis 38:12 Now in the process of time the daughter of Shua, Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 And it was told Tamar, saying, "Look, your father -in- law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep. 14 So she took off her widow's garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife. 15 Then he turned to her by the way, and said, " Please let me come in to you" ; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. So she said, "what will you give me, that you may come in to me?" 17 And he said, "I will send a young goat from the flock." So she said, " "will you give me a pledge till you send it?" 18 Then he said, "What pledge shall I give you?" so she said, "Your signet and cord, and your staff that is in your hand." Then he gave them to her and went in to her and she conceived by him. 19 So she arose and went away, and laid aside her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood. 20 And Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.

Genesis 38: 21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, "Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?" and they said, "There was no harlot in this place." 22 So he returned to Judah and said, "I cannot find her. Also, the men of the place said there was no harlot in this place." 23 Then Judah said, "Let her take them for herself, lest we be shamed; for I sent this young goat and you have not found her." 24 And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar your daughter -in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry." So Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!" 

Genesis 38:25 When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man to whom these belong, I am with child." and she said, "Please determine whose these are---the signet, and cord and staff." 26  So Judah acknowledged them and said, "She has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son." And he never knew her again. 27 Now it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb. 28 And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, "this one came out first." 29 Then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly; and she said, "How did you break through? This breach be upon you!" therefore his name was called Perez. 30 Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand. and his name was called Zerah.

Humans can be moved by immoral acts. BUT Born-again people should not be moved by that in regards that they are regenerated by the Holy Spirit into living for God. But here we have a man who made a promise. Evidently the man was making promises he could not keep and she, Tamar, knew him for being the immoral and without restraint and integrity. For he had sent her away to live in her father's house till the boy, Shelah, became a man. Now remember in those days, the men mostly took young girls for wives, so Tamar was  probably not much older than Shelah when he was born. 

Still, this Judah acted out a scene he had done before. His wife now gone and his time of living returned without her by his side, he goes to help shear his own sheep. And he sees this woman beside the two springs area. She has the look of the "harlot". She has on eye makeup and the attire of a harlot.  But knowing his habits, she requires his authority be given her. She required his signet, his cord and staff. So when the Adullamite shows up with a goat, the woman is not found. No one has seen "this harlot". 

Interesting how you can get someone to see the harlot and others do not see! Judah's plan then is to tell no one of what occurred. But alas this Tamar is pregnant. And she has those objects in her possession. The righteous is seen and the unrighteous wanted to hide his real identity and the object of his pride being outwitted.

In truth, Judah rejected the covenant family's marriage traditions seen in Genesis 24:3 " and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;; Genesis 28:1 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him and said to him: "You will not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.  So here we have the son Er, and was the wicked person in the Lord's sight and married to Tamar!

 So Tamar was left behind in that marriage when Er was killed because of wickedness. Then Onan would not mate with her for children and he was killed. Disreputable behavior can be seen when one starts to lie and call something what it is not. Because the father, Judah was enamored with those God said to stay away from, his own boys became like what he lusted about. His first son was wicked like those people Judah married into. And Onan, well, he chose to spill his own fluids on the ground and this was evil in the sight of God, too. It was Judah's marriage to the Canaanite woman that was the very first step into intermingling of God's people with a race that was the proverbial for its gross immorality. God had warned them not to do that. Judah fratenized with the world and paid a really big price.

Keeping authority is remembering to be righteous in the Lord. In describing the scene so clearly one would have seen this when Judah did not hesitate to bring Tamar to justice. No quiver would be found in his voice. He would not have shuddered in any kind of fearfulness to have his first son's wife brought up on these charges. It was the Israelitish society that must be preserved from folly and much wickedness. Preparations are made. The stake is planted in the ground, the pile of wood is arranged and the crowd gathers. Tamar walks into the scene. ( to me it seems like a horror movie!) But she carries the authority given her. He, Judah, who called for the justice now himself  must face the justice of God!

She was righteous in what she did although dangerous.Yes, this was about reputations, pride and honoring or worshiping the wrong thing! If Judah had remained within the family heritage of covenant seen in Genesis 24:3 or Genesis 28:1, then he would have not had his life revealed as the idolater and fornicator. 

Busy about life, and he forgot about God! Busy in his own ways, and he failed. He was not a man given to truth. He refused to give his son Shelah to Tamar. And she, who was influenced by no other means than that which was the common to all Israelitish women, that desire to have children who might be heirs of the promise made to Abraham, did what she could for a family she knew was hers.

Conflicts appear! And we are to be those who commit to peaceful ends, but conflict is with a fight for righteous ways in righteous behavior having that characteristic of integrity. For we prevail by God's words, a truth with no threats but warnings indeed and it only comes to those committed to work it out in the justice of God.

Even to a child of seven, our daughter did not see fruit. All she saw was a box with colored objects which the label read out was that of fruit. It did not appeal to her and from a cereal manufacturer maintaining their voice of saying it was so was wrong then and it is wrong today! Even so to us as adults should not be chasing after that which has no integrity, no life or peace in it. Because if you follow after lies for long enough, you will either become like the lie spoken or you will fight not to win over another, but fight to prevail in truth where your character is seen of righteousness and not to be appearing as a fruit loop loaded with sugar and absolutely no substance for good!

Battlefields Have No Benches

If you have ever visited a major battlefield, most likely you have seen the mapped out areas of where the strategic battle was fought! You might have seen what those men were defending in regard to that region and you probably saw some pictures of their military dress for war! On the other hand or other side of the battle scene, you would note another military group dressed in differing colors and maybe even weapons, still you would know this epic event would be done on a field, with no time-outs nor rest on the bench! No, those prepared to defend the object of that war is by being engaged, active and ready to respond to those against you! We certainly have battle scenes playing out all over the world today. Some wars playing out can be seen in cities, in the suburbs and possibly in the country. Some are standing against fraud, against lies, against those who desire the agenda to rule over many by making their own laws and we have even seen some give in to that kind of pressure because of a misguided mercy! Yet God's laws rule this universe, rules this planet and those planets which are in the same orbit, as well as in our lives if we have properly maintained that being willing to hold it and keep it: truth!

Today, we must be willing to defend the truth! You do not require a degree to do that, no, you should be a believer in Jesus Christ and hold Him as Savior and Lord in your heart!

What we defend is what He has given to declare His truth and every man a liar. Truth exists and it exists in Jesus and when He is in our heart, it should prevail there as well.

He sent us His Holy Spirit, a Person, to guide us into truth and not the fallacies of which the world is trying to instill in people today! Prayer should be for our communities, those neighborhoods that the youth will know the truth of God and not the lie of a culture!

Romans 5:6-14  Amp. Bible….6 Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the Holy Spirit is life & [soul] peace [both now & forever]. 7[That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God’s law; indeed it cannot. 8 So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. 9 But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs & controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of his [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God. (Romans 8:14)    10 But if Christ lives in you [then although] your [natural] body is dead by reason of sin & guilt, the spirit is alive because of the righteousness [that He imputes to you]. 11 And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you. 12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh [we are not obligated to our carnal nature], to live [a life ruled by the standards set up by the dictates] of the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the dictates of the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the Holy Spirit you are habitually putting to death ( making extinct, deadening) the evil deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really & genuinely] live forever. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

From verse 12, we are not obligated to our carnal nature, to live a life ruled by the standards set up by the dictates of the flesh ( or that which is man or men) for that only brings death to you. But we are to live through the power of the Holy Spirit so that we habitually put to death that of the flesh, that of man that is lies and not the truth of God. For we as believers are to live genuinely forever in that which God has given us through His Son. He came to deliver truth for He is truth. He is the way, the truth and life.

So when He spoke of the Kingdom of God, we could see the gospel will separate that which is of God and that which is of the world, men's dictates and fallacies!

The Gospel WILL Separate: seen as a division among family members! Lines are drawn where those committed to God’s kingdom require truth!  Commitment to Jesus and the kingdom will separate. Jesus told those who followed Him that those with Him were His mother, brothers and sisters: Matthew 12:47-50 NKJV 47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But he answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And he stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!” 50 for whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

1.   The “faithful”, those who are God’s family are those who operate spiritually in the kingdom.

2.   Jesus valued His spiritual relationship with His disciples above His physical relationship with His own family.

3.   Jesus went the way of the cross and each of us must lay down our lives and take up His and live for that which is one as that “king and priest” where authority rule of that kingdom is seen and heard through us! Following Jesus is being a servant-follower. It will take a personal qualification to lead in authentic ministry that reveals truth always. 

The apostles were instructed to wait for the power from on high. (Luke 24:49

1.    It was both Peter and Paul who emphasized the Holy Spirit baptism in Acts 8:19.

2.   You and I must experience that same baptism of power in our lives! For the Lord is a consuming fire. The true presence of God is felt or actually seen through manifestations. And the reactions vary from excitement to a believer, a questioning attitude to one seeking God and His presence, and to another can appear as a total resistance to him with an unbelieving spirit.

Our Culture will not have a holy fire in it nor was there a holy fire in the culture where the apostles gave the Gospel. What has been given is that of Jesus Christ. God will use His word to encourage our hearts. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11  God has purpose for all those created in His image. He sent His Son to save them, but only those who confess Him are saved, only those who believe in His saving grace will see God! God is about encouraging those who walk with the Lord.

Christ is Intolerant to the things of the world! Jesus told the religious group that He was God and they crucified Him! Luke 22:66 As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, 67 “If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I tell you, you will by no means believe. 68 And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer me or let Me go. 69 Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.” 70 Then they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” So He said to them, “you rightly say that I am.” 71 And they said, “What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth.

What was seen here, is a group of men whose feelings were hurt when Jesus spoke that He was God. You give voice to what God gives voice to being wrong and outside of His kingdom, and you will hear of such things as racism and the such against God and His truth! But truly God came to give truth to man so that they would know of the enemy's deceit and how he is going about destroying people's identities. The enemy is deceiving with lies to say that men can be women and women can be men. No, what these people need is someone who really loves them to tell them, God is for them as the man or woman He created them to be. So we pray for those being given the false doctrine of many genders when there is only two from the garden of Eden. Only two genders ( male and female) with such wonderful DNA together could create a small baby in the womb of loving parents. Such an identity planned by God to give identification to the truth of God in our lives. Yet there are those who truly take hold of the enemies lies to give to youth today and tell them this is okay! But for truth and sanity, it is wrong for anyone to take another person's identity and knowingly doing that is bringing hell closer to their own door.

Jesus voiced an affirmation to His being the “Son of God”!  This title expressed His exclusive oneness with God the Father! Jesus came to separate the holy of God from the profane of sinful man. He gave an affirming word of God: Luke 23:3 then Pilate asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” he answered him and said, “It is as you say."

Jesus lived by the Spirit of God! It was by Holy fire that causes chaff to burn. We are to abide in the Spiritual of the Holy Spirit and His power and never adopt the world’s way of thinking nor doing as in the things of transgender. Truly each young child is a gift to our future. Each is truly what God planned. We should readily keep a relationship with God,  choosing to stay within the boundary of His Word, to keep our ears open to hear the Holy Spirit speak and keep looking for restoration in our lives and to speak it over those young people and children in our community and this region of the Northwest! May each young child and youth know that they are purposed for good in God. That God created them in beauty where His image is seen.

WE see God Who shows no partiality. He wants all ethnic groups to hear the Gospel, and believe in His Son Christ Jesus. There is only one human race and it has one blood in Jesus Christ.  As the believers on the day of Pentecost received the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues….we too as believers have been given the Holy Spirit. 

The process continues, God is not finished. We have seen truth and seen false evidence. And that will continue in any culture, but we have been given power from on high just like Jesus had been given. A further worship to the Father is evident in us who believe. We spend time in this communion to make our boast in the Lord. We praise Him for His walk within our hearts. May the miraculous appear where those who are weary, who are the depressed and down-trodden. 

Let's encourage others to walk in the ways of the Lord. This battlefield has no park benches! It is a place where your courage is tested, and truth should prevail. For truth without love is brutality. And love without truth is a lie! Be the "brave" to give God's love and the truth in this moment! Defend the word of God and teach it!

We are assured in this walk of truth: Jesus told us this in John 15:15 No longer do I call you servants, fora servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.  We are friends with Jesus. That is relationship that is safe and secure. The Lord is here and in our faith we speak His purpose, we pray His plan, we expect His moves among those who are the “poor” and believe He will return to take us home soon! 

We choose not to tear others down but lift them by the word of God. We will not seek the praise of men nor will we inject our own opinions into situations. For those can turn out to be “”bullies”.  Humility is the greatest example we saw in Jesus, a precious gift! He was the sinless sacrifice and by His blood we are the redeemed. Within that we learn from mistakes made, always quick to recognize our faults and to grow into better people because of that sacrifice made for us! Philippians 3:13 reminds of us of this: Brethren,  I do not count myself  to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.

We thank Him that we are not the fearful, nor are we broken, but we rise in this hour to slay the giant of culture and worldly ways where the me, myself and I are served. Holy Spirit have your way in our lives this day, this month and this year. Have Your way that is power in us to slay those giants the spiritual narcissist.

We allow You, Holy Spirit, to surge through us as we pray. We allow You, the Holy Spirit room that we see that fire burn brightly for the Lord’s glory and to His praise.   We will stand in this hour to give His truth, to keep that light burning, so that we may boldly proclaim  the authority that has been given to us to expel false lies and to remind others of His soon return.

Itching Ears

2 Timothy 4: 2-5 NKJV Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Yes, this letter was written to Timothy ...the up and coming leader in a specific church body. He was to endure sound doctrine and he was taught by his mother and grandmother. We read about them in 2 Timothy 1:5....when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in the your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.
Apostle Paul is guiding the young preacher to be ready for those with itching ears will appear. They would be people who turn aside to fables. ( I heard recently that ministries are using Tarot cards with God's word...what?)
That is so wrong in so many ways....especially when we are told not to go after the flesh in Deuteronomy 18.
Deuteronomy 18: 9-14 NKJV When you come into the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. 10 there shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire or the one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium or a spiritist or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD and because of these abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. 14 For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you.
AS He appointed truth to us, then we are to obey Him.


There is a group of people who do not want the youth to know of the godly heritage that began this nation. There is group set on changing this nation to look like every other nation. BUT what makes America stand out is its beginning  in God! And even the first McGuffy readers were put into the school systems so that Scripture would be available to put into the hands and eyes of the budding new leaders of the future. But alas that changed as the 20th century rolled around. Men loved themselves more than God and took off into the crooked ways of greed and changing what was originally set in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In the 20th century, technology soared as did those things mentioned in Deuteronomy 18 that we were not to do!
Like putting your children through the fire....that was Molech and it is a spirit today where abortions are desired greatly. The spirit of divination is satanic  that involves enchanters, wizards, witches and witchcraft. Magicians, astrologers, nor false prophets are to be followed.

I do not do much on the 'Twitter' thing. I found that what I consider truth (heeding and speaking God's truth) is not what someone else considers truth. And then when I put something on there, I find a load of 'stuff' I really should not hear or read and language that no one should speak or write out for all to see!

The word of God tells us to preach the word of God boldly. That means we can also give truth to our neighbors and those we work with whether at work or even when volunteering for a detail within the community.
We must be able to recognize truth and stay out of fable alley and deceit communication center found on Crooked Street in Negative City. The only way to recognize truth is to read truth from the Bible that God provided for us. In finding truth within the pages of the Bible we find a life to pursue that is one of holiness, enriched with spiritual wisdom, where we can daily be infused with spiritual discernment and gain a very wise value system for living.

In this culture, you can see what most people value and how much they are willing to give for that which they desire greatly! They sacrifice the lives of children for their own 'rights' but betray that for which they were created. Men today are seen as only in the way, but God placed them to be leaders as the spiritual man who is led by God to lead the spouse (his wife) and his children by a rich heritage of knowing the Father who created people and desired the relationship with those who would be His spiritual children...the sons of God!


What we communicate is to be with truth and accuracy and to train others to do the same. But do we do that? Do we train our children to operate in truth or "white killer lies" that can cause a whole box of problems much later down the road to Crookedville township ending up in Trouble City in the state of decomposing attitude!
Proverbs 19:5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape.

Yes, that means the one who lies will be found out that they lied! Knowing this verse is true according to God. Do we also remember Matthew 12:36-37 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned.


In receiving Jesus, we are justified. We live by the Holy Spirit Who was given to us as our Comforter. He is here to guide us and teach us that which was given by Jesus while He walked on earth. And it is how we react to the Holy Spirit that we are either justified or condemned. We should not be led by the flesh creature but by the Holy Spirit of God to do that purpose God set forth for us to do. You have an assignment as well as I have an assignment. Life is more than just waking and doing. Life is the true and is relationship with God our Father. It is a conversation daily with prayer indeed to find the freedom that came through Jesus Christ.


1 John 2:21-23 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-christ who denies the Father and the Son. 23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

For without God and that relationship we can find life to be but a blur! That 'itching ears' person is looking for that which will give them a platform for their own idea of position in their family, community and maybe within the vastness of the world. But there is no song, no idea, no new thing as great as our God. There is no man or thing greater than our God.There is no wisdom or understanding or counsel  against the LORD. (Proverbs 21:30)  We are to Listen to counsel and receive instruction so that we be wise in our latter days. ( Proverbs 19:20)
We know that having 'itching ears' is seeking that which feeds the lust of those who seek that lust!  John 3:19-21 And this is the condemnation that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, because their deeds were evil. 21 But he Who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen that they have been done in God.

Jesus was Light and will always be Light. He did the will of Father that was done in deeds clearly seen. It was God given to Jesus to declare and to do for the glory of God.
Jeremiah 17:5-10   NKJV

5 This is what the LORD says:

"Cursed is the man who trusts in man, And makes flesh his strength

Whose heart departs from the LORD.

6 He will be like a shrub in the desert (wastelands); and shall not see when good (prosperity) comes.

But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness (desert), in a salt land which is not inhabited.

7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose hope ( confidence ) is the LORD.

8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters which spreads out its roots by the river.

And will not fear when heat comes and its leaf will be green.

And will not be anxious in a year of drought  nor will cease from yielding fruit."

9 The heart is deceitful above all things  and desperately wicked.

Who can know (understand) it?

10 I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind (secret parts) Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

A tree will never fear, but a man will. And when heat comes, and it certainly will come, we are to be planted by the river of living waters where our roots go deep into God. We must go deep into His wisdom and hear the Holy Spirit direct us.

Yes, the heart is central to man. It is the inner self that which thinks, feels, and acts. Proverbs 4:23-27 NKJV  Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. 24 Put away from you a deceitful mouth and put perverse lips far from you. 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet and let all your ways be established. 27 Do not turn to the right or the left; remover your foot from evil.

For you and I: our mouth, lips, eyes and feet are physical symbols for that of communication, is it for attention and behavior. An open rebellion to God is seen in those who resist God and His standard. They will not marry but live outside that God commanded. They will have children outside that institution of marriage and call it their 'right'. Or if the child does not fit...they abort and call it their 'right'. They will try to change their gender because they believe God made a mistake. But God never makes mistakes. He is right, He is righteous and holy........is everlasting!

The heart that is right will follow what God placed for our protection. For His word leads us down the street called Straight.
Psalm 125:4-5 Do good, O LORD to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts. 5 As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, The LORD shall lead them away with the workers of iniquity.
Luke 43: 4b-6 NKJV Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough ways smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.


In thinking about today, many children have been raised without a father to lead and in some cases the mother was absent as well, only to be raised by a grandmother or the 'state'. The difference is to be in leadership that God commanded from the beginning. Outside of that we live by the flesh creature, have itching ears, seeking platforms to make our name great when our true assignment is to shine the light of what God planned for a 'family', what is relationship with God almighty and live under the protection of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Without this.......we live like crooked people, in crooked houses with crooked ways and die that way.
Father....thank YOU for loving us first! (1 John 4:19)
