Human evil seeks to enslave, dominate and control others.
"If it cannot enslave the body it will enslave the mind, if it cannot enslave the mind it will enslave the emotions, if it cannot enslave the emotions it will enslave the spirit, if it cannot enslave the spirit, it will seek to enslave the conscience." smakintosh
We are living in the last days when many who claim to be "Christians" will attempt to enslave us through religiosity, rules and practices that God never intended nor commanded.
We do not have to be enslaved by all this false reality, we can seek Christ, ask Him and continue to follow Him no matter what anyone else is doing.
2 Corinthians 10:5 "5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

Check with Christ
Please go to Christ and ask Him to expose everything you have been taught in favor of obeying His truth. Ask Christ to show you truth, expose the wrong thinking, dispel the myths and remove the desire to be accepted by modern church systems.

Dedication Takes Desire Followed by Effort
When a believer is not in the Word of God, when they do not spend time in prayer and when they hang out with ungodly people who elevate them, they will not only not grow in holiness but will regress. A sure sign of regression is the disinterest in the things of the Lord.

Place Your Trust in Christ Not Man
If you are a believer in Christ who is following hard after Him, you can expect to encounter those who would attempt to cause you to fail or make your failures seem as though you are a loser not worthy of respect and honor. We have been and will continue to be accused of things we didn't do or intentions we didn't have, simply because the narcissist hates anyone who loves Christ. Demeaning, mocking and maligning are the favorite tactics of the devil. If he can get us to believe we are not capable, then he can effectively stop us from living for Christ. When we know that it is Christ in us Who motivates us, we don't have to worry about "being successful", we can do our best and pray for the Lord to work through us.
Make no mistake, we will not be loved or accepted, it is what Christ promised, but we can remain confident moving forward in obedience to Christ no matter what those devilish naysayers are doing.
Our focus must be Christ in these last days. When we diminish the power of the narcissist by refusing to take seriously their tactics, while realizing they are being controlled by the evil one, we increase our power to keep going in spite of all odds.
Brothers and Sisters....remember David and Goliath, David did not shrink from someone seemingly much more powerful than he was, because his God was far bigger than that giant. If we can see life as a believer this way, we can continue to walk with Christ without regret and without fear.
Remember that it is Christ Who is good not us, all our confidence should be in Him not ourselves.

Trust Christ not the Leaders
UGH!!!!!!
It is so hard to get a brainwashed culture to place their trust in Christ instead of their leaders. We have lived our entire lives for 250 years in America, believing that the only way to have a godly nation is to have a godly leader.
The truth is that if every person in our nation trusted Christ, it wouldn't matter what the leader was doing, GOD would bless us and He would give us the leader we deserve. If the leader were pro-abortion, it wouldn't matter, no one would choose to kill because of the conviction in their own heart. If the leader was pro-gay rights, it wouldn't matter, no one in the nation would become homosexual.
We are looking to fix the ills of our nation through laws instead of Christ. I agree that men will be lawless and the laws are for those people. However, when the nation as a whole is rebellious, even a good leader couldn't stop them. That folks is where we are as a nation.
Israel wanted to have a leader like the rest of the nations. They pushed God aside, Who was their leader in an effort to have a human leader.
It is absolutely agonizing to watch the United States choosing a human leader too!!!!
If we had no leader, if we had a liberal leader if we have a conservative leader, I would still trust Christ alone and obey Him, as could also every other person.
Christ is the Lord of my life, not a human leader.
