Diablo means Devil

When I say something is diabolical, "diablo" means devil, I am saying it comes from the mouth of the devil.

There are many things that are coming from the mouth of the devil these days, so many it isn't possible to count them all.

On every level of politics, in the schools, in the churches, in the communities and in the minds of most people, we are experiencing the thoughts and intents of the devil.

All one has to do to see this, is to read their Bible, pray for wisdom and watch God open their eyes. Once He opens our eyes we will see so clearly it will frustrate and vex us daily as it did Lot while he was in Sodom.

2 Peter 2:6-8 "6 if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly; 7 and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—…"

If you find yourself in this condition, do not condemn yourself and do not let anyone else make you feel "negative." Anyone who is not vexed by what is going on may very well be a part of the mess of this world. Shrug off the accusation of negativity and chuckle under your breath at it's silliness.

Psalm 37:12-24 "…12 The wicked plots against the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth. 13 The Lord laughs at him, For He sees his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct."

Here is that word "gnashes" again, once here and again in the description of hell. The gnashing of teeth does not have to do with pain but rather anger. Even while these rebellious people are being thrown into hell they are angry instead of ashamed.

Jeremiah 6:15 "15 "Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD. "

Let it be clear that when we tell the truth about an act or a person, unless it is flattery, they will hate us for it, show deep anger and reject us.

God's promises to us are greater than any mocking or demeaning we may endure in this life and they last for eternity. Those who choose God's path have a promise of rest for our souls, but the people as a whole in the world will refuse this path. Sadly they would rather have their own head that brings them nothing but heartache than to follow Christ and see His enormous blessing!

Jeremiah 6:16 "16 Thus says the LORD, "Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, Where the good way is, and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'…"
