FLIRTING with DISASTER

 

1 Corinthians 10:14

King James Version

14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, 

flee from idolatry.


Why would you ask A.I. questions?

Why would you test its intelligence?

Why would you even bother?

Why are you constantly feeding it?

Why are you so intrigued by it?

Why are you so fascinated with it?

Do you think it has intelligence far above GOD?

Habakkuk 2:19

King James Version

19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; 

to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! 

Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, 

and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.


Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.


1 John 2:15-16

King James Version

15 Love not the world, 

neither the things that are in the world. 

If any man love the world, 

the love of the Father is not in him.

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 true born again turns to the Bible.

We trust the Bible completely.

All the answers are there.

JESUS leads us to GOD.

SPIRIT gives us discernment.

We have all the answers we seek.

We seek our answers from the LIVING GOD.

John 14:16-17 

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, 

and shall be in you.


John 14:26 

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.


John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:


John 16:7-11

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, 

because the prince of this world 

is judged.


John 16:14-15

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: 

therefore said I, 

that he shall take of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.


1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth 

not the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.


Without Whom, we can't tell things apart.

We need the SPIRIT of GOD to teach us.

The WORD of GOD speaks loud, and clear.

Exodus 20:1-6

King James Version

20 And God spake all these words, 

saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, 

which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, 

out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 

or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, 

or that is in the earth beneath, 

or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 

nor serve them: 

for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 

unto the third and fourth generation 

of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them 

that love me, and keep my commandments.


Technology has many new toys.

But we don't toy with such.

We only focus on the WORD of GOD.

That's all that will remain anyway.

Matthew 24:35

King James Version

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, 

but my words shall not pass away.


1 John 2:17

King James Version

17 And the world passeth away, 

and the lust thereof: 

but he that doeth the will of God 

abideth for ever.

STILL living in the SHADOWS?

 

John 1:5

King James Version

5 And the light shineth in darkness; 

and the darkness comprehended it not.


Are you still living in the shadows?

Still hiding something?

Still plotting something?

Still pushing for world domination?

Creating an agenda?

A reset?

Creating disinformation?

Or misinformation?

I hope you stop all that foolishness.

JESUS did say:

Luke 8:17

King James Version

17 For nothing is secret, 

that shall not be made manifest; 

neither any thing hid, 

that shall not be known and come abroad.


Luke 12:2-3

King James Version

2 For there is nothing covered, 

that shall not be revealed; 

neither hid, 

that shall not be known.

3 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.


This post is for all shadow governments, shadow politicians, shadow warriors, shady businessmen, all who live in murky waters, and shadows, all who plot against GOD, and against their fellowmen.

Whether you're aware of it or not, JESUS brings things to light.

John 8:12

King James Version

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, 

saying, 

I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.


Only JESUS remains victorious.

Hebrews 2:14

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;


The HOLY SPIRIT shall GLORIFY JESUS.

John 16:8-14

King James Version

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

9 Of sin, 

because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, 

because I go to my Father, 

and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, 

because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, 

but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, 

is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: 

for he shall receive of mine, 

and shall shew it unto you.


Forget shadow moves.

Forget being a puppet.

Forget serving the enemy.

FOLLOW the LIGHT of CHRIST now.

Become a citizen of heaven.

And have eternal life.

With JESUS.

It's SO NOT COOL to SPY on people

 

Ecclesiastes 7:29

King James Version

29 Lo, 

this only have I found, 

that God hath made man upright; 

but they have sought out many inventions.


Does anyone have any privacy these days?

Nope.

Hardly.

Everything's up for grabs.

Sold to the highest bidder.

Personal information stolen, bank accounts hacked, industries hacked.

Malice everywhere.

People turn whistleblowers when they can't stomach it anymore.

At great risk of their lives, and those they care about.

And yet, they are compelled to make a stand.


We've all become voyeurs.

Spying on everyone.

Tracking everyone.

Checking what the Joneses are up to.

Nothing can be held sacred for the individual anymore.

And yet, we're all children of GOD.

Ephesians 4:4-6

King James Version

4 There is one body,

 and one Spirit, 

even as ye are called 

in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, 

one faith, 

one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, 

who is above all, 

and through all, 

and in you all.


Galatians 3:26-28

King James Version

26 For ye are all the children of God 

by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ 

have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.


But you're not Christian, you'd say.

Much less born again.

Precisely.

If you were, you would not invent anything that would spy on others, whether for malice, or for industry.

Has the world turned so neurotic, we don't trust each other anymore?

Better yet, don't we trust GOD?

That He knows what He's doing?

That all have been prophesied?

That everything's in the hand of GOD?

Or do we believe in GOD, at all?

If we don't, there's obviously a problem.

Why do we spy on people, track them, or hunt them like animals?

To what end?

To what extent?

For what purpose?

World domination?

Why do we create fear in others?

Why can't we make them breathe easy, for a change?

Life's pretty hard enough, as it is.

Others, barely able to make a living.

Most, confused by what's happening in the world.

Many, fearful for themselves, their families, their futures.

Don't we have enough concerns, and anxieties on our mind?

Are the resources of the world really not enough, for everyone?

How much does the rich man need?

Can he bring all that where we're all going?

Life is but a vapor.

James 4:14

King James Version

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.


We were born with nothing.

We leave this world with nothing.

Job 1:21

King James Version

21 And said, 

Naked came I out of my mother's womb, 

and naked shall I return thither: 

the Lord gave, 

and the Lord hath taken away; 

blessed be the name of the Lord.


Oh, and let's not forget that JESUS can return anytime.

To have His faithful, both dead, and living, meet Him up in the air.

ANY MOMENT GOD CHOOSES.

Mark 13:32

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour 

knoweth no man, 

no, 

not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, 

but the Father.


We call that the RAPTURE.


If you are born again, born of water, and of the Spirit, you'd be preparing for that event, and walking in the SPIRIT.

Galatians 5:16-17

King James Version

16 This I say then, 

Walk in the Spirit, 

and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, 

and the Spirit against the flesh: 

and these are contrary the one to the other: 

so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.


You'll reap FRUITS of the SPIRIT.

Galatians 5:22-23

King James Version

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, 

joy, 

peace, 

longsuffering, 

gentleness, 

goodness, 

faith,

23 Meekness, 

temperance: 

against such there is no law.


You'd be a man of faith, trusting GOD alone.

Mark 11:22-24

King James Version

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, 

Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, 

That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 

Be thou removed, 

and be thou cast into the sea; 

and shall not doubt in his heart, 

but shall believe that those things which he saith 

shall come to pass; 

he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, 

What things soever ye desire, 

when ye pray, 

believe that ye receive them, 

and ye shall have them.


You will not worry what another man's thinking, doing, saying, or planning.

The only thing that will matter is your personal relationship with JESUS.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


You will look kindly upon each other, praying to JESUS, what the LORD's will is, that you may fulfill it.

You will study Scripture, and live by it.

All you need to know to live, love, and serve, can be found in the Bible.

The WORD of GOD is the most BEAUTIFUL thing in the world.

The one that saves our soul.

And causes no harm to others.

Forget about spying.

All that neurotic activity belongs to the enemy of CHRIST.

The one who continually lusts for power.

The one the LORD witnessed falling from heaven.

Luke 10:18

King James Version

18 And he said unto them, 

I beheld Satan as lightning 

fall from heaven.


Who do you serve?

A TRUE born again MUST sin NO more

 

Ephesians 1:7

King James Version

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

according to the riches of his grace;


It seems, in my own simple, childlike mind, it was very easy to understand a verse the Holy Spirit gave me early this year:

Hebrews 10:26

King James Version

26 For if we sin wilfully 

after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, 

there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,


The Holy Spirit is the SPIRIT of TRUTH.

Jesus promised:

John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, 

is come, 

he will guide you into all truth

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.


When you become born again, you follow Jesus.

You believe in everything He is.

You are taught by His Spirit.

You are anointed by His Spirit.

As such, you are led back to Christ.

You now know His commandments.

Does it make sense, then, that we born agains continue to sin?

Are there any more excuses not to follow the commandments of the Lord, now that we are His?

We now know the knowledge of His TRUTH.

That suffices, and the path is forward with the Lord.

Knowledge of God, Scripture, and Jesus, will arm us along the way.

For the way will be filled with traps, and ambushes.

We will be constantly targeted by the enemy.

And yet, we are to wear the ARMOR of GOD.

If we are true born agains, the path is to sin no more.

The Lord already shed His precious blood, so we may be saved.

He took on sin, where He had none.

He took on humiliation, when He was King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

There is no more excuse not to seek perfection for the Lord.

He did say He will come quickly.

Are we ready?

We must be true to the WORD.

We must sin NO MORE.

Right this moment.

John 8:10-11

King James Version

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, 

and saw none but the woman, 

he said unto her, 

Woman, 

where are those thine accusers? 

hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, 

No man, Lord. 

And Jesus said unto her, 

Neither do I condemn thee: 

go, 

and sin no more.


"But I'm not born again, " you'd probably say.

Be not so quick to scoff at us.

For it is the Lord's command we be born again.

If you want to be with Jesus in His kingdom, you MUST be born again.

John 3:3

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

On NOT Grieving the SPIRIT

 

Psalm 1:6

King James Version

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: 

but the way of the ungodly shall perish.


What happens when we've come to know the laws of God, started following Jesus, become born again, started learning from the Holy Spirit, and yet we backslide, and go back to our old, sinful ways?

Or maybe, we do even more grievous things.

Scripture says clearly:

Hebrews 10:26

King James Version

26 For if we sin wilfully 

after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, 

there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,


2 Peter 2:21

King James Version

21 For it had been better for them n

ot to have known the way of righteousness, than, 

after they have known it, 

to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.


If, after we've come to know the Lord's truth -- through the Holy Spirit -- and we continue to sin, then we gravely disrespect the Holy Spirit of God.

Ephesians 4:30

King James Version

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, 

whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.


Knowing the TRUTH of JESUS is the most exciting journey.

But expect to be a constant target of the deceiver.

Expect constant ambush.

The tempter will hope to trip you, every chance he gets.

Traps are set all over the place.

No one is immune from it.

1 Peter 5:8-9

King James Version

8 Be sober, 

be vigilant

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, 

walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith

knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished 

in your brethren that are in the world.


But we are not without help.

Strength for the journey can only come from Christ.

Philippians 4:13

King James Version

13 I can do all things through Christ 

which strengtheneth me.


And every day is an opportunity to know more about Jesus, to follow His will, to be led by Him, and to enjoy the journey back to God.

Psalm 16:11

King James Version

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: 

in thy presence is fulness of joy; 

at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.


How could anyone ever want to get back to darkness?

That's definitely a dead end street.

Once you've experienced GRACE from God, you will never want to fall from it.

We must cherish the sacrifice of the Lord on the cross.

The best we can do is stay on the path, following Jesus every step of the way, holding tightly to His hands, having Him live in our hearts, and constantly communicating with Him.

He is the WAY, after all.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


How can we ever go astray?

Not possible, if you are a true believer, and a devoted student of Spirit.

For every doubt, for every stumbling, for every temptation, for every weakening of spirit, or resolve, call upon Jesus.

He ALWAYS shows up.

It takes faith to believe in that.

Do you have such a faith?

Quench NOT the HOLY SPIRIT

 

Hebrews 12:28-29

King James Version

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom 

which cannot be moved, 

let us have grace, 

whereby we may serve God acceptably 

with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.


Is the Holy Spirit working powerfully in  you?

How do you know He is?

Are you giving Him free reign?

If God is a "consuming fire", can you imagine how His Spirit will work within you, once you are His?

So, why do people try to quench the Spirit?

How do they quench the Spirit?

To what end?

For what purpose?

For what evil intention?

Is it at all possible to quench the FIRE of GOD?


First, let's understand what "quench" means:

Merriam-Webster defines it this way:

-- PUT OUT, EXTINGUISH

-- to put out the light or fire of

-- to cool (something, such as heated metal) suddenly by immersion (as in oil or water)

-- to cause to lose heat or warmth

-- to bring (something immaterial) to an end typically by satisfying, damping, cooling, or decreasing

-- to terminate by or as if by destroying : ELIMINATE


The Holy Spirit is a GIFT from GOD.

Once you have experienced the Holy Spirit in you -- as a born again --you will not want to EVER fall out of GRACE.

Once you have been anointed by the Holy Spirit of God, you will be taught everything about Jesus.

Everything you think, speak, and do, will be for the GLORY of GOD.

The Spirit of Christ will live in you each moment, for He does the anointing, as revealed by John the Baptist here:

Luke 3:16-17

King James Version

16 John answered, 

saying unto them all, 

I indeed baptize you with water; 

but one mightier than I cometh

the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: 

he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

17 Whose fan is in his hand, 

and he will throughly purge his floor, 

and will gather the wheat into his garner; 

but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.


How can we even think of quenching that fire from Jesus, for whom heaven, and earth were created?

From what corrupted, deluded part of ourselves do we challenge the might, power, and glory of the LORD?

Colossians 1:16

King James Version

16 For by him were all things created, 

that are in heaven, 

and that are in earth, 

visible and invisible

whether they be thrones, 

or dominions, 

or principalities, 

or powers: 

all things were created by him, and for him:


But how does one quench the FIRE of the Holy Spirit?

Let's review these verses, for starters:

1 Thessalonians 5:17-22

King James Version

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19 Quench not the Spirit.

20 Despise not prophesyings.

21 Prove all things; 

hold fast that which is good.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.


Taking it a verse at a time, from above, let's consider the opposite:

1. We cease to pray.

2. We forget to thank God.

3. We stifle the Spirit.

4. We despise prophesyings.

5. We disprove all things God.

6. We continue to do evil.


Also pay attention to the material on sin.

If we do all that, how can the Holy Spirit of God continue to teach us about Jesus?

We would have snuffed the Spirit from our hearts, for Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the Light.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.


John 12:46

King James Version

46 I am come a light into the world, 

that whosoever believeth on me 

should not abide in darkness.


There is the UNFORGIVABLE sin against the Holy Spirit, which we must pay attention to.

Those are the ways we quench, eliminate, stifle, and extinguish the Spirit of God in us.

If you knew how long it takes to be anointed by God, you will consider the anointing sacred, and guard it with care.

It only takes long, for God waits for our complete surrender.

Only then can He send His Holy Spirit to start teaching us about Jesus.

If we fall from grace, all is lost.

We would have fallen into darkness.

Financial loss in the world, can be recouped.

But the loss of grace, from the Holy Spirit, from the love of God, is a deep darkening of the soul.

After you've experienced the LIGHT of CHRIST, would you still want to return to darkness?

When you have found the Living Water and Bread of Life, you will not want to be fed anything else.

Doesn't make sense.

That's why I take great care about this anointing from Jesus.

I could easily be ambushed, or distracted.

The unseen enemy forever waits in ambush.

Ephesians 6:12

King James Version

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, 

against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.


I take great care this gift given me by God.

Born agains are favorite targets of the enemy.

But we have the seal of God.

Precisely why we are not to grieve the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:30

King James Version

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, 

whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.


We must be awake, and aware at all times.

We must guard our soul from distraction, division, and despair.

We must lead others to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We must focus SOLELY on God.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.


We are to walk in the Spirit, in love, and gratitude, for the LORD of ALL.

We are to be "blameless", for when the LORD JESUS returns.

Only the Holy Spirit of God can purify our hearts, souls, minds, and bodies.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


And we have ABSOLUTELY no desire the quench the MAGNIFICENT FIRE of GOD.

As if we could.
