WE CHOSE TO KNOW GOOD & EVIL.

Seeing the world as it is, in a way it is a kindness not to believe that a God exists.  This world, with evolution – death to the weak or those who can’t change – and what goes on here, requires a conclusion as to how and why it is as it is.  A kindness towards the real God is to believe that there is no God.  The only way you can get to a kind and good God is to understand that mankind chose to know good and evil.  Mankind and creation knew goodness before mankind and creation chose to know evil. It seems to me that any system that requires work to change it (evolve, get to a higher plain, etc.) means that the system was created with pain and suffering.  Only a twisted God would create a system like this one. The Bible teaches that the world was created perfect and fell.  We see the nature of the god of this world – Satan – in how this world works, death, torment and struggle to live. 

SALVATION BY GRACE.

Read Ephesians 3  

Salvation is by grace. The law does not save before or after knowing Jesus.  When the Christian fails or falls, Satan the accuser is quick to condemn under the law.  The law does not apply.  Salvation remains safe and secure through Jesus.  If you struggle with sin and addictions, you are still saved by grace.  God still loves you and cleanses you of your sin when you recognize it and ask forgiveness.  Go on in Him and be useful to Him. Do not be condemned and pushed aside for God’s work and plan for your life. 

EVIL PERSONIFIED.

Satan - a very real fallen angel completely given over to evil - is the prince of this world.  He is the “spirit of the air” mentioned in the Bible and king of his evil minions who live in the sky, on the earth and under the earth.  His desire is to rule the earth and all that is on it.  He and his evil minions work continually and tirelessly to rule everyone and everything.  Evil is growing in presence in the world as people get further away from Jesus and evil is preached everywhere.  The half-time show at the Super Bowl was a tribute to the illuminate and one song about giving yourself to evil and another about a lesbian encounter and the pleasure of it.  Also, do not be fooled about what is happening in the middle-east, Islam is not about the God of the Bible – the biblical God is not growing in presence through Islam. Islam preaches Jesus is not God – Islam is part of the anti-Christ and lessens, not strengthens, the presence of the true God on earth.

The purpose of this blog and the book Defeat Your Saboteurs is to reveal evil, their plans, and teach you how to combat them what Jesus did on the cross and by His Spirit.

SPIRITS & WASHES

Spirit World

From reading the Bible, I understand that spiritually we live in a dimension in which spirit beings and things exist, metaphorically speaking, like “washes.” A "wash" is a paint, usually watercolor or acrylic, that is place on top of another paint color. There is our spirit, which I will place in a dark color first, and upon it there are other paints like washes.  Transparent in varying degrees of color, washes of other spirits (and sometimes things made of spirit material that are not spirits) that are superimposed on our spirit or intersect with our spirit.  If one of the “washes” is very strong it can actually obscure our spirit completely (total possession) or obscure it in part.  The spirits that are on/in/over our spirits - like washes on us - are the spirits of people, demons, devils, God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus.  Some are good and holy and proper, others are evil in varying degrees.  We are NEVER alone. There are always spirits and spirit things connected to us in some way.  In addition to the foregoing, there are spirit connections with spirits – they look like fiber optic cables and provide a flow of information/emotions/existence with whatever we are connected to.  That is the best example of our life as seen inside the spirit dimension in which we live simultaneously with the physical.

Defeat Your Saboteurs gives the reader understanding of the spirit dimension and explains the ground rules to overcome the negative spiritual influences through God.

Today's task:  Work to discern what thoughts are from you, God, and from other spirits.
