The Battle Belongs to the Lord

God gave the people what they wanted. It was not His choice but the will of the people. Because of this, the people will be deceived.

 
God often gives rebellious people what they want to discipline them for their refusal to obey God.

 
The will of the people was to have prosperity, security, and freedom to sin all they wanted without consequences.

 
When was the last time you heard our leader proclaim that he was going to get rid of all drug dealers, all pornography, all prostitution, all adultery, all divorce and remarriage, all blasphemous and crude language on the internet?

The single most devastating sin in our country is that of divorce and remarriage, which has destroyed the family, removed stability from the children's lives, and created a "me always" mentality, the worst place a nation can be.

 
When "freedom" becomes the god above all else then it is impossible to reason rationally with anyone. When freedom is the god then any form of instruction or correction against sin is seen as "judging" The new mantra for all is; "Don't judge." This means we are never allowed to speak the truth to correct a matter and even help the person being corrected, the punishment for speaking the truth is harsh and executed upon the one who tells the truth.

 
2 Timothy 4:3
"3 For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires,"

They call the truth-teller the divisive one while the divisive ones who support sin are embraced and further empowered to judge, isolate, and demean the truth-teller.
Those who shout "don't judge" the loudest as an intimidation tactic for the truth-teller to remain silent, are the ones who judge the most harshly those who love the Lord. They will even make up lies about what we have said that are innocent and discredit us, removing any support for God's truth.

 
I was once told by an elderly woman who had been in church her entire life, that it was wrong to tell people they are wrong, while she was telling me I was wrong for telling people they are wrong.

 
It was astounding that she thought I was so shallow that I would focus on the rebuke, and would feel ashamed of myself because of her rejection of me, without evaluating the content of her words.

 
Irrational pretenders count more on our feelings convicting us than they are about the content of the discussion. Intimidation, mocking and dismissiveness is the hallmark of the one who does not endure truth but instead embraces feelings and control over others.

 
It is impossible to have a rational and reasonable discussion to resolve anything these days because of the angst and rebellion in the hearts of most people.
Not only will the hearer refuse to consider what is said or done to resolve something, but they must gain others against us too through gossip.

 
Satan knew he could never win in an argument with God so he turned to God's creation, Eve, to influence her to distrust and disobey God. He has not changed his tactics since the beginning of creation. He is still turning people against believing in Christ while influencing them to turn others against us too.

 
We need not be intimidated or devastated by the devil and those who are influenced by him to harm us. We have Christ, He is our defender and the truth is what sets us free from emotional and spiritual baggage brought by the father of lies.
Those who hate us are pawns of the devil and don't even know it. They have been brainwashed to think things that are not true because of his influence on their minds.

 
1 Peter 5:7-9
…7 Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering."

Knowing how the devil works and that he has in the palm of his hand those who have no defenses against him, we don't have to take anything personally that is done to us by those who love themselves more than anyone else. The devil has convinced them they are superior and we are inferior worthy of their contempt and mistreatment.

 
Proverbs 3:5–6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths."
The devil's ploy is to remove our support system and encourage everyone around us to poke at us hoping we will think something is wrong with us causing us to become timid and stop speaking the truth.

 
When we know the schemes of the devil we can dismiss them without worrying about how anyone else thinks about us. It is Christ Who matters and no one else.

 
2 Samuel 22:3 "My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence."

Psalm 54:4 "Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life."

Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

We are in a battle against the spirits of darkness but we do not battle in our own power, Christ battles for us.

 
Ephesians 6:12
"12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Deuteronomy 20:4 — “For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”

 
2 Chronicles 20:15 — “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.”

Keep looking up, the battle is intensifying, but the battle is not ours but the Lord's.

We are Known by the Company We Keep

We are known by the company we keep! Trump chose White because she reflects all religions as equal and loves wealth.

All religions accept a character called Jesus, so it is palatable to all religions for Trump to say we need "Jesus." Those who are fooled by "Jesus" talk are not walking in discernment.

Superficial Christians will not realize White is a false prophet. This is one of the greatest deceptions in these last days.

Those who are fooled by White will be fooled by the antichrist.

White and her husband promoted married couples watching porn and laughed about it in a speech before many people. White advocates sinning to gratify fleshly desires and thinks it is amusing.

White is on her third marriage, she is a woman violating scripture by being in a "pastoral" position as a woman as well as a divorced and remarried woman, among many other violations of scripture the slap in the face of God.

Anyone who defends this false prophet, this Jezebel, is refusing to ask God to show them the truth because they personally like her.

I have met people who defend her and refuse to listen to what is wrong with her because their hearts are rebellious. They want to believe she is good for no other reason than who chose her to be in a prominent position in our country. They love their ears being tickled with the enticement to sin and enjoy it.

2 Timothy 4:3 "

For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires,"

Those who refuse to see what White is are listening to the devil and defending what is evil for their own appetite for sin. Or, worse their worship of the man who chose her.

This is what idol worship leads to, following and defending someone who is being used by the devil to proliferate a false gospel while deceiving many to enjoy sin, for no other reason than to gain some things in the country that make them feel safe.

Spiritual blindness will lead to the downfall of a nation no matter how prosperous we become.

This false prosperity preacher has convinced many people that something is wrong with their faith if they are not financially wealthy. This of course appeals to a president who sought after fortune his entire life. When a false prophet leads someone to Christ she leads them to a false gospel.

Christ teaches the opposite, if we clamor after wealth we cannot be followers of Christ.

Matthew 6:23-25 "…23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. 25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?…"

Please don't tell me our president is a "baby Christian", I was once a baby Christian and quickly became repulsed by false preachers, the Holy Spirit in me would not allow me to enjoy them.

A baby Christian might be fooled for a short time but would never buy into hook line and sinker the false gospel of a prosperity preacher. The Holy Spirit would bring them out of that false system soon after they became born again.

The false prosperity preacher was chosen by a false prosperity Christian who just happens to be our president.

1 John 3:9 ""No one who is born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.".

Ephesians 5:11, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.".

2 Corinthians 6:14

"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"

God would never allow us to be yoked to something or someone who is demonic, especially if He had chosen us to lead a nation. The sense of darkness would be too overwhelming for those who have the Holy Spirit living in them.

Anyone called of God to lead a nation would never embrace and choose a false prophet who leads people away from Jesus Christ and toward a false "Jesus."

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."

Brothers and Sisters, please look deeply into the evidence of the false prophet and denounce them.

Forgiving God's Way is Different from Forgiving Man's Way

If we love we will forgive the way God told us to forgive, when there is repentance.

Luke 17:3-4 "…3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”

It is not the love of God to forgive someone who is not sorry, repentance is vital to a changed heart and a change in behavior.

 
The goal of forgiveness is not to make ourselves feel superior to others by blindly forgiving without any accountability. Our goal is that the offender will repent and have a changed life. If they refuse to repent that is on them.

 
We do not feel bitterness for not giving out forgiveness to an unrepentant offender. But we are more likely to feel bitterness when we are intimidated to "say" we forgive them when they are not sorry.

 
Psychology has ruined the faith of many by demanding what God never demanded. And, notice we don't hear anyone rebuking the offender to repent, the pressure is always on the offended party to forgive even if the offender is not sorry and will not stop their antics.

Why do people ignore the phrase in the passage;? "and returns to say I repent."

JD Vance Converted Religions, Here’s Why It Matters

Interpretation is Everything

The scriptures have been twisted by many "Christians" because they were never born again and interpreted everything they read in the Bible in terms of their own fallen cultural mindset.

These false Christians follow psychology which was birthed from Darwinism and Freud. The were both heretics determined to prove there was no God. Their principles came from the study of animal behavior not from God's Word.

Numerous Christian writers and evangelists have been teaching from the play-book of Darwin and Freud and not even realizing it. They have taught many things these men proclaimed that have been against the Word of God.

I can't count the number of "Christians" I have met who speak many wrong principles against God's Word thinking they are from the Bible but are in fact against God's Word.

The hard thing for me to grasp is these same "Christians" fight against the Word of God, demonize those who correct them and even malign their reputation to be able to hang onto their desired belief. They will not ask God so they stay stuck in their sinful ideas foregoing spiritual and emotional growth.

2 Timothy 4:3 "

"For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires,"

It is impossible to convince someone who has already been indoctrinated into their favorite belief, to persuade them of the truth. The lie has been perpetuated all their lives and shared by all their friends and relatives, and they cannot let go of what makes them feel secure within these influences.

This is why cultic systems are so dangerous, even if it is only a cult-like family system in which everyone only allows their own ideas according to the leader of that system.

The bravest and best course of action is to determine to believe only God's Word, no matter how many people come against us or reject us. I have found that it is far more blessed to be alone with Christ knowing the truth than accepted by many believing lies.

Keep looking up, soon it will be over and we will be surrounded by those who love Christ the same way we do. What an amazing freedom and peace we have when we follow Christ.

Narcissistic Prosperity Preachers

How narcissists react to people who are ill. They see it as a terrible inconvenience and attempt to convince the ailing person they are making a big deal over nothing. Prosperity preachers use this same method by claiming you don't have to be sick, if you are then you lack faith. They are narcissists of the first degree.

I have seen this several times in my life, those who lack empathy and kindness mocking and demeaning someone who is ailing.

Narcissists can fake empathy when they know it is expected of them by someone they wish to impress, but they have none for those they disrespect. And, they disrespect anyone who isn't just like them.

Narcissists will pretend empathy to the friends of ailing people to hide the truth about their lack of empathy.

When the friend of a narcissist becomes ill the narcissist dismisses the illness and then disappears. They simply do not like ill people. Anything that is seen as a weakness in their bodies, to the narcissist will be judged as a weakness in character.

The strongest people I have ever met have been born-again people who have battled with illness for many years. It was their trust in Christ Who carried them through everything, making them Spiritual and emotional giants.

Those who depend on superficial outward appearances to seem wonderful in their own eyes are the weakest people of all. These people can never be honest about themselves or anyone else. They depend on their fantasy of themselves to bolster their own opinion of themselves, perpetually living in a state of chaos to stave off the perpetual sadness that lives inside of them.

Sadly the choose a fantasy about others that always leaves the others as beneath them.

These people are always angry about someone or something while pretending they are not, we know this because of how easily they are offended over perceived slights that are not even slights at all. They make up problems where there is no problem to be able to feel in control of others.

The only way a narcissist can feel good about themselves is if they are continually leaning into their fantasy of themselves as they are demeaning someone they can feel superior to, those they tell lies and half-truths about to others who will come on their side.

Knowing the tactics of the devil in the narcissists antics is a blessing that affords us the strength and determination to walk away from them, leaving them to God to deal with them.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."

All televangelist prosperity gospel preachers are narcissists. They have no conscience about stealing money from people to build their own kingdom of wealth. They do not care about sick people, poor people or those who just want to walk with Christ, they only care that they can use them to further their own wealth. In short, they are liars, cheats and demonic messengers sent to deceive and steal the souls of many who believe their false gospel.

Pretending to have empathy they slap people, push them over and yell at them claiming it is the Holy Spirit doing it. Their intimidating tactics are intended to convince others that they are favored and powerful and that the power comes from God. If they can guilt people into sending their money or attending their gatherings they can hook them into a false religion that sends them all to hell.

Yes, prosperity preachers are demons perverting the gospel as they fleece the people.

2 Timothy 3:4-6 "…4 traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these! 6 They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,…"

Titus 1:16

"They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed."

1 Timothy 4:1-2

"Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, / influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron."

1 John 2:4

"If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

2 Peter 2:1-3

The Appearance of False Prophets

"1 But false prophets also appeared among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

2 Many will follow their indecent behavior, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;

3 and in their greed, they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep."
