Who Creates
Our Awareness?
Matthew 22:1-14
Proper Hatred is our knowledgeable decision against evil and is not the opposite
of Love. The adversary’s influence, using untoward familiar spirit beings, distorts our perceptions to see Love through
Lust, Joy through Fun, Anger through Hatred and Sorrow through Resentment. The emotions of Lust, Resentment, Hatred, and Fun
are none of them feelings – but they augment and attach themselves to our responses in a moment causing confusion and
misdirection. Ambition combines with Fun to create Excitement; Resentment combines with Hatred to create Spite. The opposing motivations are the knowledge of good and evil.
Romans 8:1-16
What is wrong with this type of emotionally self-protective reasoning?:
“You are more wrong than I am so that makes me properly righteous and you essentially evil!” 2 Corinthians 10:12
says, But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. The anti-salvation
salvation of exclusive self determination, in the name of God, gives to those who are confused about duty and responsibility
an almost all pervading apathy.
This apathy toward the strengths of joy in Christ to intercede
for, work with, and fight the good fight for our place of witness with our ‘other half’ creates a paralyzing hostility
against the one to whom we are committed. When our faith is applied to sandbagging others to hide frustrations, and/or profit
from their miseries, there is not much left to together trust in God’s hands in dispensing with the falsifying floods
of adversity. The devil has no access to anybody’s faith except to block it. And, there is nothing he and his hoards
of fallen angels can do, without using a person’s choice of will, to do it.
Each of us has the attributes of perception’s perspective
to treat another and others in response to their will and personal desires as we see fit in the risks of faithing our dependence
in Christ. Perception’s perspective is not for us to identify our own awareness of understanding, aside from God’s
direction(s) (based in our matrimonial positional rank) in ways where treating others ‘fairly the same’ will provide
the bogus sense of satisfied controls of stability. When community is thought to be what a household works its works to display
for why we have our conscientious conscience we fail to understand that community is made up of the very personal household
structures we deny to serve pleasing a cultural order.
If misconstrued that way, we find ourselves trying to be
like everyone else while hoping everyone else remains on the same page we hold as our own dear attachment with our surroundings.
‘Freedom’ of self-determination by slotting in everyone else as the same no matter their place(s) unto us, based
in community rather than personal standards of equality, loses its reason when we forget each of us has our own desires of
will. We then assume society’s ideals of equality are designed by God, His hand of guidance still remains true for us
to accept each our own place of integrity with a mate unto the rest of a family structure… privately as opposed to publically,
that starts with Him and ends up with… Him in His goodwill.
Living for God in Christ in those around us, our loved ones,
is about sharing His glory and gratitude for the companionship we allow to be within our committed desires. It is not, as
so many religions demonstrate, about fighting evil to rise above others who do not see ‘the light’. Yes, fighting
evil is part of our defensive ministry of living the lives we have; but it is not meant to be the primary motivation to trust
our hearts with each other against ‘the world’. When we understand that God will be God and we will be His created
children regardless of any evil intrusions, we will see His purpose in our reaching out properly to lift out of trouble those
who are bound to darkness.
Ask yourself, “Who will I not dive into a pool to
save from drowning.” When someone goes off the deep end it is rash and impulsive to presume they jumped or dived there
being unsure of their swimming ability. They may have fallen or been pushed. Are there certain ones you would command to stop
screaming and yelling, thrashing about, and slinging water; and then push under the surface for disturbing the peace? If so,
you may be simply frightened out of your wits by the situation. In that discovery you will perceive you have been living as
someone different than whom you really are.
Do we make things
personal between us, or do we allow Christ to be personal to us. We can be smart, act knowledgeable, and defend our intelligence
in order to rate and judge our position with and against those we either hate or admire; usually, resentfully both in ways
that modulate who we think we are by who we want to believe others are. When we understand that the gifts of self-importance,
the wish to be in control, rests in why God blesses us in Christ (His Holy Spirit Word of Truth), with what is facing us at
any time, we then see inferiority and superiority are concepts without merit.
Micah 6:8 says, “He hath told thee, O man of earth,
what is good; what then is God seeking of thee but to do justice, to delight in lovingkindness, and humbly to walk with the
Lord?” and 7:19, “He will again have compassion upon us, He will subdue our iniquities; Thou wilt cast into the
depths of the sea all their sins.” Usually, the ‘world’ responds to ideas about disposition with reactionary
intent within their cognitive/emotional attitudes. But disposition means to be ‘out of position’, thereby dishonoring
the authority a man or woman has to those with whom they relate; in applying their own desires and expectations.
The adversary, the enemy of harmony, deceives us into believing
those close to us, those we depend upon for our physical as well as spiritual well being, are inhibiting our successful defenses
of the Gospel. They get convinced that there must be another way or another person that may better understand their own desires
for relief from the troubles of living. When the life of Paul is considered, we can see that the common ideas about personal
happiness, without troubles or hardship because one trusts in God, is a myth perpetuated by greedy, money focused, evangelism.
The most widespread religious scam is perpetuated by people
who try to do things for God by doing things against people who do not conform to their own self-serving opinions about God.
“Faithless” people are not void or lacking in their faith given as the measure of faith God supplies to them.
They are misappropriating their faith by allowing their fears of risk to blind-side natural affections and trust. Here is
the general trouble people use to justify their stealing, where theft is overlooked for what it is to see it as legitimate
concerns in practicing behavioral controls over others' places of honor.
Misinformed this way, people who have honestly accepted
their salvation still find it difficult to renounce polarizing their reactionary responses to others and themselves because
the brain's trained reward system is finely tuned to the parasitic feeding process the lure of emotionally established self
confidence (the elation side of the depressive coin) engrains in one’s heart. Then, attempts are made to mold those
close to conform to expectations. Demanding others to be kind denies your own extended kindness because kindness is not a
self-centered desire. Wanting another to ‘be like us’ is a like-kind attempt to drain their resources.
In all things our
expectations look to be satisfied by hoping togetherness will prevail but togetherness cannot prevail without refraining from
dominating another’s will. Those we interact with throughout any day are either unwittingly open to the devil’s
wiles or they are not. When thieves and intentional malicious pranksters give to us troubles, the manifestations of mistakes
cause us to blame the person and not the evil source. Strife refers to variance in respect for Who God is in Christ between
those who are in positions to care for one another. Contentions, fighting, wrangling, and quarreling hit many marriages and
families hard by internal discord that divides children from parents, parents from each other, and households from neighbors.
When concerned members do not speak to each other and when
they fight with one another, sin (self-centered distancing) is at work and the Spirit of togetherness Truth through God’s
will of ordered associations is quenched. Numerous families are infected by this spirit with their attentions in and on judging
deeds instead of accepting respect for who any deed may be hindering. Behind the resentment any trouble a family member may
be allowing to disrupt proper unity are many times secret wishes of those being wronged to have such ‘freedom’
of self-expression without supposed self-restraint.
Rejecting envious emotions as being opposed to holding proper
annoyance against the discovered misdeeds of the member in question, intensifies the pressures of expressed adversity to put
down errant behavior, to; “Make sure this doesn’t happen again!” Off-putting structured treatment that forces
parameter limitations in order to obtain socially compatible penalties of consequence, by overt/covert example, removes from
one’s relatives and fellow neighbors their joyfulness. It pushes them to not realize their own reliance in the duties
of living - with and among those whom they are promised – according to their God given rights to be with who it is his
or her faith may take hold.
Conversational ingenuity becomes so ingrained in keeping
established a word of self distinction that vague inferences take on superiority over plain speaking; and strains the seeking/yearning
heart of knowing straight forward faith in God’s Word – the Man, not the book. Further embedded as false parables
that phony presumptions prompt people to rely in as intellectual advantage, are the dogmatic interpretations drawn from assuming
that God Himself is the Bible; that the properly unknowable aspects of His glory and righteousness are found in what simple
lack of understanding of Scriptural meanings convey.
Like any relation, a person sees substance in when rating
the past with the future according to price-conscious value appraisal, the flight of the imagination views people outside
realizing others as real people. These most extreme considerations always tend to last because their self-supportive logic
loops (false common sense) forgets to know gratefulness. We need to be very careful what we accept to believe about those
with whom we are associated. Exaggeration, hyperbole, and supposition create negative perceptions in opposition to faith,
trust, and naturally honorable codependence.
Instinctual reasoning recognizes that Jesus Christ is innocent
of the wrongdoing people involve themselves. It is sensibly and emotionally more secure to focus attention toward the errors
people make because the physically obvious source of mistakes are the people who are mishandling events. It is unreasonable
to realize, and continue to realize, that Christ Himself purposely takes responsibility for anything and everything that emanates
from humanity’s malcontent efforts to establish prominence over the moments.
However, God is not polarized as people who believe He is
the good side of the satanically polarized knowledge of good and evil they hope in their falsely directed genuine assurance
that He is. Many believers are devoted to the fashion of God, joining hands with worldly wisdom in what personal relationship
means to one’s own self-worth, upholding ungodly parties of emotional pleasures in dancing, festivities, song, and theatrical
display.
The Church, as people envision the meaning of Church, has
become an outlet for pent up pressures of living where social agreement about self-esteem becomes an acquired towing of the
line of dogma and doctrine based on the “God experience”. Such conditions do not exist without cause. Through
the unwitting (not always) collaboration by pastoral leadership with diabolic intents of satanic pressures, founded in pride
and egotistical self elaboration, the natural instinctual hungers of survival of the flesh are fed soothing and uplifting
enticements that undermine the purposes for the Gospel.
Spiritual darkness that falls upon nations, churches, marriages,
and individuals is due, not to an arbitrary withdrawal of the succors of divine grace on the part of God, but to neglect or
rejection of divine light on the part of men. Through chasing experiences that give a false sense of purpose in Gospel believing,
people’s hearts become earthly and sensual to where the psycho-emotional practices of the Church in Christ’s Name
becomes a replacement for the natural and properly sensual privacy shared in a marriage between a man and a woman. Thus, these
people are in ignorance concerning God’s care and concerns through Christ - through their belief in accepting their
redeemer, they are rejecting their Redeemer.
Believers have erringly put “darkness for light and
light for darkness” until the light which was in them became darkness; and how great was that darkness! For the same
reasons, the children of Israel bound themselves to die in the wilderness to not participate in God’s promised Promise
Land. By their meddling with their own social engineering pride that they were God’s chosen people, they denied the
spirit of leadership in Moses God desired for them to honor. In their know-it-all self-righteous spirit of protectionism,
they retained a rebellious way against respect for who God placed Moses to be to facilitate their delivery to the life God
prepared for them to live.
As Moses was chosen by God to be the redemptive and prophetic
example of Jesus Christ, it was God’s intention that the people be followers of a guiding authority. Today, as the law
is fulfilled in Christ as the Groom to the Bride, the Church, of His Body of believers, any man married to any woman has their
combined representative position in the Body of Christ to obediently follow Him, with the Victory of His Resurrection, the
people of Israel under Moses could only hope to have possessed. Most people are as honest as they know how to be… but,
most people do not know how to be very honest.
The barrier between usual standards of morality and immorality
(not to be confused with mortality and immortality) is an imaginary fence, or parallel fences with a ‘neutral zone’
between, that contrasts the opposed differences. There are those who are considered generally good people and those who are
thought to be lawless and corrupt. We wonder what makes a person cross the fence from “good person” to “bad
person” and get lost trying to figure it out because we judge people according to useful acceptable acts based in varied
majority opinion, and useless unacceptable acts based in varied majority opinion.
What is called the grey area between agreed areas of morality
and immorality is made up of paradox in changing situations where one situation may allow what another will not. Trying to
manage all the various degrees of particulars of every and all patterns of circumstances and situations, combined with the
unique differences and level of development of each person from another, gives rise to general overall standards that must
ignore specific consideration for the “parts that make up the whole”. This does not mean to imply there are no
particular acts of goodness and evil that are other than good or evil, respectively, that do not apply in all circumstances
and situations for everyone at all times.
But, even then, what is done to properly deal with the person(s)
and consequential results is entirely another separate matter that may vary depending on who, what, where, when, how, and
why. Entertaining the unrealistic concept of ‘necessary evil’ presumes an optional righteousness that forms the
basis for charitable giving for the wrong reasons. The fence between morality and immorality, good and evil, is an imaginative
manufactured concept that pragmatic reason and logic must uphold in response to what usually does and does not physically
work.
On one side of the fence is the idea of good and on the
other side of the fence is the idea of evil. Without understanding the overall purposes for self preservation, desire, and
companionship each person must vie for establishing their own patterns of survival that at once complies with social acceptance
and opposes personal obscurity. It is an impossible task for an individual or group to acknowledge all the possible variables
while maintaining a sense of stability that adheres to good that will always be good in the face of evil that will always
be evil.
The reason for this is found in the basic necessities of
everyone’s natural physical livelihood. Consequently, the unknowable area between the indefinable fences of good and
evil is where all reality exists. People believe that God shares society’s moral standards, but Jesus told the Pharisees
in Luke 16:15, what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. We find comfort and a sense of belonging
by comparing ourselves to human standards. And, when we consider a world in constant poverty, turmoil, and war, none of us
feels too out-of-sorts with righteousness.
Two people may have conflicting positions each deeming,
necessarily, the other immoral. They may both be right, they may both be wrong, or one or the other may be right while the
other is wrong – they both are decidedly right in defending their belief and decidedly wrong in perpetuating the conflict
by centering on disagreement against compromise instead of resolution without compromise. Knowing who is who in what is what
to whom can only be found outside mankind’s divisive expectations. As a result, most interpretations of Scripture, as
applied to determining choices in acting and reacting to our and other’s purposes, are founded in human traditions and
perceptions.
That is with emphasis derived from ways of being in temporal life
as the baseline standard for God’s eternal will. People deceive themselves, with generous help from the adversary, by
making God in their own image. Condemnation against evil to bolster one’s own position of faithful defense falsely justifies
judgment against evildoers with a spirit of righteous indignant pride. Reflecting social morality in the glow of Biblical
Gospel witness offsets the fears of inadequate personal ability to overcome hidden discrepancies. Condemnation of a soul for
works of darkness to achieve capitulation, by the use of fear of God’s power to destroy, is drawn from Old Testament
Law.
Pre-Christ, BC, controls of restrictive ordinance used afterward,
AD, in dealing with others is contrary to conviction of the heart unto recognition of repentance in Christ’s love
through grace and mercy. Everyone, without exception, is straight laced, conscientious, and wholesome in their heart of hearts
because everyone’s heart of hearts is redeemed in Jesus Christ’s righteousness. God has already forever finished
His work but the working out of His work is being accomplished for eternity as each of us lives out our time. We often hear
extractions from Scripture such as, “unequally yoked” used to make excuses to follow worldly moral convention.
But marriage is a priority of security between a man and
woman who live in ongoing decisions not to be drawn every-which-way by a variety of temptations and tactics. A financial stability
litmus test cannot be used to evaluate the levels of God’s response to personal dedication of faith. Too many people
are working by forcing circumstance; with all their spiteful 'self-protective' might, trying to show God their marriages (and
therefore their lives) are not worth saving. Acts 16:30-31 says, "…Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
The
Devil
Between God, people, and the devil it is people who use restrictive silence as a weapon.
The thrill of pride resentful rebellion brings is blind to the joyful appreciation of obedient respect to chosen authority.
Visual orientation of the physical senses is the deception behind the concept, "Out of site, out of mind." Who is not presently
at arm's reach often is perceived as semi-imaginary. In all areas of living and all aspects of human interaction throughout
the centuries ‘bait and switch’ techniques permeate the plying of other’s wills for selfish intentions.
However, there is no distance in the truth of spiritual realities.
The knowledge of good and evil is the evaluation of ourselves, others, and the world around us, to find personal security.
This personal security extends ‘naturally’
to our selfish awareness of others and how they, in unison with us, can create a safe and pleasing society. It possibly would
work if it were not for the enemy’s deceptive cunning and God’s plan for our completeness in Christ. The false
reality of the enemy is a belief that the world can be a beautiful place at the hands of people - that we can devise tools
and ways of being through the rule of law and self-awareness that will bring peace and goodwill. The devil uses people to
arrange events to appear as if in God’s providence they, “Just happened that way.”
When we trust in others and ourselves as extensions of the environment, our
thinking and emotions are misaligned and drawing from the wrong source. This wrong source is intelligent and ever more powerful
than people - leaving no one untouched at any time. It is why “good people” can have a dark side that hurts others
and themselves. Thus, the precepts, standards, and principles of Christianity are used and molded to fit the will of man.
For example, the numerical placement of the letters in the English alphabet were not arranged by God, as the language is a
derivation and a combination of other earlier languages and trends of experience.
So, the numerical placement of the 26 letters are an intentional, but haphazard,
setting by people. The belief in numerology and its effects is mostly imagined in a way where the pressures of being convinced
about symbolic meaning causes people to act as if there is a kind of power being drawn from the occurrence of numerical meanings
behind the language. The choices made then, sway a person to treat others differently than they really are. That, of course,
causes a cause that would not have been a cause and leads one to think the process is validated by the difference.
It is the same with days on the calendar and times on the clock because the
numbering of time and days as we do it is another invention for the conveniences of people. Believing in those particulars
of non-coincidence as a way to verify or avoid situations (to take control), without recognizing God's authority to be in
command through time and words beyond our own limits to realize, is a way to avoid accountability. It is dishonest dealing
with one's self and others because the intrigue and significance of confidence in such matters brings confusion, frustration,
and disappointment.
Worry, because of concern for us with others, can easily be transformed by fear
into misgivings of suspicion. Example: Though it may be a truthful statement to inform another we believe they are being foolish,
it is a self incriminating untruthful attack to tell another they are a fool. A grudge is often sparked by an intensified
desire for valid recognition regarding previous neglect. One of the marks of a thief, and Satan is a thief (a soul pirate),
is to make it appear as if a problematic situation is the victim's fault. Indignation, insecurities, and shame relating to
a matter infiltrate our being in a way where we must deal with overcoming a situation that need not have been.
Because we are responsible in our caring, the hardships thrust upon us cause
us to feel we, and/or others, own the purpose of faulty dealings. The only actual conspiracy is in the unseen realm of spiritual
warfare over our place in life. As we are disoriented into not appreciating God’s active and benevolent power over our
lives, we have the habits of making mountains out of molehills – and molehills out of mountains. When we are involved
in working to overcome a situation that has us uncomfortable, we tend to insinuate our will of discovery to justify our fault
finding by labeling ourselves and others into fixed categories.
This seats, instead of removing, demonic pressures and leads to the idea; "What
you don't know, won't hurt you" - the misunderstanding is our ignoring the influences of darkness while we investigate people
to find a handle to focus our decisions. When we play God we also end up playing the devil because we cannot be either one.
Role playing an overlord will bring rebellion from the subject and increase the multitasking manipulator’s tendency
to quash the rebellion. Usually, the mountain we are not seeing is considered a molehill because it is hidden in our perception
that a molehill is a mountain.
But, we have the power in Christ to cast any mountain, or molehill, into the
sea of darkness where it belongs while freeing people, us and others, from the influences of evil we have been holding everyone
responsible. However, there is a responsibility we and others have fallen to in accepting the intrusive evil we allow as a
way to get our way. The deceptive confusion is centered in identifying our self serving desires with our right of existence.
Our sense of a prideful right of existence comes from the awareness that we see and know, but are unable to determine why.
Since we have the God given will and freedom to believe and follow anyone or
anything we wish, including ourselves, the soul is wide open for the enemy to use our will and freedom to mock God. Our very
existence here is for the purpose of overcoming slavery to the world and self, by relying in faith in the dynamic life of
God through us. Our slavery is to our thoughts and emotions as our reactive emotions respond to our thinking and our reactive
thinking, in turn, responds to our emotions in an ongoing loop of past consideration and future fantasy, which rejects the
reality of the present by using others.
We are in turmoil because we do not know how to stay in the present - a moment
by moment living that requires us to understand God’s purposes in all situations. We are unable to understand from and
of ourselves - separate from a conscious trust in God - because being aware in a way removed from the Giver of Life is to
rely on our own thinking and emotions ruled by Satan and his hoard of demonic entities. Familiar spirits do not isolate themselves
to singular individuals. We get confused about hatred and evil because we are supposed to hate evil but we identify our hatred
for evil with the evil itself. This gives the tendency to accept the goodness of hatred against evil as part of the evil it
is good to hate.
Confusing it more is we hate the knowledge of the good of the knowledge of good
and evil because it is enfolded into Christ’s death along with us. We hate a part of ourselves because we have been
taught to recognize our shortcomings where we like to be selfish. Then, we have the assumption it is good to teach others
to hate others in order to cause them to see their ‘goodness’ for improvement – or to remove their presence
from our recognition because they call attention to our own convictions. But, the only true goodness is in the Resurrection
away from, and out of, the shifting balances of our self preservation techniques where there is no evil of darkness to offset
a false light of personal knowledge.
The unwavering goodness of our complete being will only be fulfilled when we
are with Christ - giving us the present opportunity to have the humility of the self, with the strength of the force of anger
of God’s righteousness against the evil working its way in those around us. When we are coming against the evil influencing
a person(s) we cannot attack the person in a way that does not respect their position and place unto us and others. But, when
there is deception of the heart, the endeavor to help others help themselves help us to help them for Christ’s sake
usually is rejected as a personal attack. This is where time and silence are often used as weapons against better ways.
The enemy’s influence is strong and destructive. His demons are disembodied
spirits who are immortal, bound to human mortality through un-natural intrusion, and 'need' a host to 'survive'. They cannot
function in any area of human enterprise, personal or public, without plying the wills of men and women. Care must be taken
to consider that anything, ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, one may put their efforts to doing might perhaps not
be from demonic influential pressures. However, fallen angels use our thoughts and emotions, surroundings, and environment
to draw us away from trust and faith in God. It causes the belief that we are desired for who we are when we are fought over,
but the fight causes dismay over the conflict.
Misunderstanding chastisement as ridicule,
we lose our senses of humility and respect for God when our personal wishes bring angry emotional expectation of self-fulfillment.
When we resent our own mishandling of circumstances, we tend to blame others for not fulfilling our wants. This is when we
resent the grace and mercy God provided through the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, as demons are fascinated with
disharmony because they need to disarray the strength of peace of people to facilitate their hosting, they play everyone like
banjos against each other.
Untoward changes in behavior, as altered through fear, is used to cause intimidation;
instead of an honest humility by choice of response to a loving ever-present Creator. It is the enemy working through people
that causes the harm and damage. The harmed will almost always blame the violating person(s) for not being strong enough to
avoid causing harm. We consider intent and can find no capacity for it in a person because the capacity of wrong intent is
not of the person but of the dark source working through them - through their thoughts and emotions.
The forces of evil are most intense through one’s with conscience enough
to want to trust in God as well as the one’s most separate from God. The enemy’s reason for this is always to
undermine faith and trust through pride to divert time and words into substitute works. Then, works take prominence over respect
for one’s identity in Christ through their various levels of identity with companions. So, we use our thoughts and emotions
as a foundation for belief in our rightness and call our rightness as being from God because we cannot comprehend a knowing
of good and bad as being separate from God.
When we learn to realize God will give us the understanding and consciousness
to use instead, we will find the thoughts and emotions we have been taught to think of as us, cannot be used to make a perfect
world. It would be a world that was not designed to be for the Glory of God, but of man. Mankind can be the Glory of God in
and to the world as a witness to others to follow the pathway to life, but the life of God as a part of the fulfillment of
Christ must by its truth be separate from the false reality that world knowing brings.
We understand there is no one for which Christ hasn’t paid a full price.
He took on all the consequences of our wrongdoing to give us the opportunity to stand against Satan and his ways. The adversary
knows he and his minions of fallen angels will be judged by us, the members of the body of Christ, because we are direct witnesses
of their evil in our lives. When demonic entities infiltrate our intents and purposes, we become our own worst enemies as
we have become the enemy of God by allowing our authority to be diverted.
To inflict penance for retribution onto others, in the name of “Tough
Love” that derives its energy from the Law of Moses, is to re-punish Christ on the Cross. This is why pranks, mockery,
and harassment are as destructive to the practitioner as they are the victim(s). Hazing others for wrongs, whether assumed
or actual, brings the darkness of the evil recognized into the heart(s) of the self-righteous (and struggling righteous) indignant
through identifying with the problem instead of accepting the solution provided in Christ's resurrection.
We call our knowledge based cleverness 'intelligence' and ridicule differences
of ways of living. We believe we are the master, or god, of our domain while we identify with assuming God is a God of ridicule
against anyone who does not comply with His will - forgetting His mercy, grace, and compassion. Scoffing is based in the over-protective
fear of being ultimately exploited (used) with the recognition that the exploitation has already occurred in some way, whether
we can identify the source or not, so we strike against those we wish were a better example to uphold our distortions.
Chaos addictions can be thwarted by practicing to always laugh with someone
over successes and never against anyone over failures. This way, empathy and concern will replace setting others up to exploit
from their miseries. The Work of life for each of us is a gift waiting for us to acknowledge and accept, as we live through
each day, moment by moment. We become glad to understand that the evil in others, the believing into and from self, others,
and surroundings, does not belong as part of them. We love their completeness in Christ whether they are accepting their gift
of life or not.
We know they are confused and deceived or they wouldn’t be so with us.
We see and realize we are responsible for others, and the wrong they do and cause, because we have accepted our part in the
resurrection of Christ. Our prayer and intercession is in response to the situations and people around us for God’s
sake without a hidden personal gain motive. As we learn to be conscious of the plight of the fallen (of which we are, have
been, or are in the process of casting aside; a member) our cares and concerns must be taken to and left with God in faith.
When we trust God with the faith He gave us to trust Him with, we can exercise
the strength of conviction our actions need in responding to other's needs, as we encounter difficulties, according to what
we have and where we are. Recognition of personal error, and the harm of consequences our deceptions have caused others, will
usually bring the fears of self effacing worry that we are too evil and destructive to warrant forgiveness. The more we realize
damages done the more our shame and fear seems to bind us from reaching out to the ones we know we should.
The helpless feelings of emotionally negative unworthiness can blind us to the
understanding that our condition is exactly why God sent His Son to die in our behalf. It is true we have allowed our will
of response to evil influences to deceive us into overriding our better judgment. And we do understand there is no solace
of shared condition that others have wronged us and others. But, just as Jesus Christ acquired the victory over all things
is in our behalf, our joy of discovery is the oppressive darkness that drags our being is no longer of us as we thought it
was ours to own.
Living in faith unto God requires us to act and react to others in situations
and times - positive and negative - with kindness, patience, and understanding of who they are ultimately in Christ. It is
not a simply a legalistic effort (no matter what they have done or what they do to us) with the priority of respect to our
place in and under authority - the first and foremost being the institution of marriage. The difficulty many of us fear is
the misunderstanding others most often use to condemn us for our wrong as we are being right in being honest for the sake
of redemption. It is a very difficult thing because our pride will want us to blame others and ourselves; thereby withholding
the grace God gave His Son to manifest life through us.
He gives to us the security and boldness in Him to “rat out” to
our God given partner the evil done through us in a witness against our collective fall by the dark messengers. When adverse
circumstances are overwhelming beyond seeming endurance, a couple should always be counseled together, and never separately,
by an understanding, adept, prayerful surrogate mediator in the intercessory ‘role’ of Christ. Counseling works
to divide integrated marriage responsibilities when suggested implications about respect and dignity, esteem, focuses on individualism.
Faith in who one’s mate is in Christ, repentance (turning away) from selfishness,
leads to appreciation of duties while a false faith in defending one’s own rights to be appreciated weaken realizing
the reasons marriage exists to lead mutual obedience to God. Counseling is not counseling unless it guides both who are being
counseled to place their trust in each other in trusting the able hands of our Father above. Learning coping skills to accept
traumas as a part of dealing with problems is a substitute for reliance in our God given yearning to live in His active leading
will.
Group therapy where individuals share like difficulties, as separate from their
personal home setting, with unknown and personally uninvolved others is as destructive
to the responsible health of a person’s soul alignment with God through faith as anything can be. Private personal matters
are private personal matters because people are designed to respect others dealing with their own private personal matters
in their own household. When compromises are made to gossip oneself to strangers who suffer with similar issues, there is
an averaging out into acceptance that problems are as beneficial to living as being free of those problems.
This is reinforced by ideas to own what is wrong in order to realize how wrong
it is to oneself and others – to create enough of a pattern of fear founded aversion to the wrong that recovery has
a positive way to go. But, people experience anxiety and depressions about real issues in real life where real problems need
real healing solutions rather than forming ways to integrate the wrongs socially into subjection to better less wrongs. Overblown
self interest in the place of respect for authorities under God (even in the name of God) is why proper stable mental and
physical functions suffer. Treating maladjustment symptoms brought about by what is thought to be mental illness embeds, rather
than releases, the overwhelming bondage a person may be under.
Confusion is the underlying cause behind most mental disorders and most physical
illnesses are brought about by the same. And, of course, the many forms of addiction (habit) are both mental and physical.
When someone is seen doing what is considered wrong, it is usually automatically assumed he or she does not know how wrong
the wrong is they are doing. Or, if we believe they do know how wrong what they do is, they either do not care or are so down
on their self that the problem is perceived as bigger than they are.
Additionally, because people look for ways to lift their ego, there is often
a condemnation of the person(s) as being inept, stupid, ignorant, lazy, or evil; and certainly hell-bent-ungodly (and, who
isn’t?). We do not know why a particular person does what we believe is wrong to do. Usually we think a person does
not know the underlying reasons they may be wrongfully aggravating our expectations. Furthermore, we are genuinely puzzled
and/or angry to consider that someone would intentionally do what we view as wrong for a specific reason we may not understand.
Complicating this, we consider the costs of what others do; and use the general
valuations money, labor, and less fortunate people suffer through as just reasons to step over the lines of propriety and
deference to prevent a man or woman to exercise their own will to live their personal lives, to say and do what their personal
convictions allow. He or she may be seemingly involved in some form of addictive habit (anything anyone takes a liking to
do can be habit forming) we assume could not possibly be intentional for any specific reason or reasons.
The only way to know is to ask... if it is our place to ask. Otherwise, it is
not our business to do more than pray about it, though a man has the duty to ask his wife about any of his concerns about
her, and a wife has the same duty of her husband. Of course, each a man and his wife have their own duty to reply as best
they can to sort out any misunderstandings. This is where modern workplace environments are unnaturally intrusive into personal
and private affairs.
With underage children, the avenue of disclosure is not mutual as it is between
the parents, as parents are in the responsible position of right to know while a child is in the responsible position of right
to honestly make plain their motives so that his or her parents may lead and guide their upbringing. One of the reasons underage
children do not have rights to their parents privacy in mutual open disclosure of all they are to one another, as the man
and woman share exclusively, is children’s’ natural course in their own lives to make their maturity an out-of-the-nest
respect for his or her parents efforts.
Since mental and physical wellness is misunderstood to be our goals in achieving
victory over discomfort and troubles, we lose that victory by ignoring that mental and physical wellness are under the direction
of who a person is in his or her soul being. Thus, if God is not a living reality but a concept that people use to feel at
ease with the unknowable, then all persons who are personally involved with the subject would need to endure their own treatment
in tandem.
The soul person is the reason for mental and physical existence. It is designed
for building structured self esteem to elevate one’s pride in mind and body, in order to counteract a person’s
egotistical compensation for self disgust (either personally made shame over guilt or projected from ill treatment by others
– nearly always a combination of the two). Otherwise, ‘feeding the animal’ will eventually cause deeper
and more intense emergence of the problems when it again gets hungry. Diffusing the negatives across a network of people does
not reduce individual intensities as much as it drags down the overall average of wellness in the population by “spreading
the disease” of ‘confidentiality’.
By particular request:
Paranormal activities,
including 'alien abductions', are always in response to the beliefs of those who are observing/experiencing un-usual and unexplainable
phenomena. When there are people enmeshed by will of dedication in some way with other people, either one or the others' beliefs
affect all involved according to what dark entities (ostracized fallen angels) have in ‘mind’. They can be legitimately
called, 'psychic (of the soul) parasites'.
They are seeking to dissuade godly awareness, the power
authority of Christ’s hand in peoples’ faith-active living, through diversion and intrigue. They are the world’s
inhabiting source of jealousy, envy, and strife - misdirected motives - because they begrudge God for giving humankind life
eternal for the asking. The idea of contacting the dead, through séance or any other means, is only an involvement with wicked
entities that know who that departed person is in one’s own memory about them; combined with their past personal living
soul presence while they were temporally (physically) alive.
Ghosts are disembodied spirits in the sense that they have
cast aside their proper heavenly shield of status in God’s righteousness and in some way have inhabited the will of
intentions of a person or persons. They are frightening because they are afraid being where they ought not to be. Conjuring
and the like, (including hypnotism) leads only to stirring natural instinctual flight or fight emotions that, then, prompt
wonder, awe, and exciting fleshly self-interest.
That means, frankly, identity manipulation is the goal of their compulsions in their attempts to
control power. Reincarnation and channeling…
same dabbling with demonic collective consciousness. Psychotropic and euphoric narcotic medications, methamphetamines as well
as marijuana, can tear or break a person’s soul-protective mortal shield. Illicit drugs, the intentional poisoning of one’s self for sensational effect, builds a false fence of
self-importance that attempts to combine evil and good together as the light of life.
Extra Sensory Perception, remote viewing, and
overt 'constructive pressures' lead to godless wondering in quasi-dreamlike confusion. It throws a ‘special
me’ covering over faithless self-esteem focused education that feigns itself as real. Emotionally flaring intensity,
where personal desire cries to overthrow God’s directive authority, deprives those suffering from disconcert in hardship
straightforward honest respect for moderation of curiosity. It dishonors others’ composure in their own responses to Christ centered leading.
Kinesthetic style mirroring,
trending, and ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ salesmanship techniques attempt positive identity attachments with
temporal self-preservation to extract from a person’s faith-active will motivated resentment against undesirable conditions.
In a very real sense the procedures are akin to methods of witchcraft – also steeped within organized church settings
increasingly engaged round the world; one can understand social religiosity for what it is.
A slithery sneaky method of religious belief is the combination
of modern communications with the mind control techniques that were used long before most of us were born. For example, in
the 1930s certain leaders were enthralled with, or guided by, a Hierarchy of Masters of Wisdom network that gave “Christ
leaders toward a rightful destination of godhood” to those in leading offices in various countries. There existed in
the backdrop to World War II devout belief in altered states of consciousness that were attained through occult practices
that seem as if they are simple relaxation or self-centering wholeness concepts.
Their efforts were focused in using from ancient sources
such as initiation into orders of the then secret Tibetan Gnosis. Psychic powers, or powers of persuasion, were developed
to orient thought loops of mirrored validation which produced adherence to personality driven devotion. Telepathic communications
became the foundation of warfare intensity to serve the “Unknown Master” who
used systematic visualization as the key to contact with the masters. Similar is the ‘guided imagery’ used
by psychiatrists and psychologists and in many claimed to be Christian healing ministries.
Some groups attach the term
‘clinical’ to processes designed to regulate responsive (irresponsible) intrusive management (manipulation) of
others’ living ethics; in inappropriate efforts to reorder their private well-being accountability. Thus, psychic vampirism is
using covert persuasion to get another person to follow one's wishes. Invisible forces, misinterpreted as
movement of the Holy Spirit is mentioned in some church practices as a way to compensate with the will of people for the will
of God.
Bewitching others comes from having bewitched one’s self by allowing personal desires to
mean others’ desires are less important. That happens through haphazard selfish attentions without trust in God’s
created measures designed for marriage and family to honor. When seeking is taken for self-fulfillment in priority over faith in belonging, trying to overwhelm the will(s)
of those near of devoted place with their personal faith and love interest, there comes a wedge driving spirit of opposition
that works in concert with ailments, illnesses, and economic deprivation.
We cannot help what we have been unknowingly taught and/or pressured into but we can learn to identify
retaliation against others for personal gain is a signal to show us to relinquish what we have learned to use to take advantage
of other’s weaknesses to hide our own. We
generally make the mistake of identifying people with the evil that works through them. “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream,” is an illusion of escapism away from facing
God’s realities thought to be the bondage against His freedom religions promote.
When we see John 3:16-21 applies to those with who we are at opposition; we understand a sense
of respect for their efforts in dealing, though wrongly, with their troubles and misery. We do not need to fight the devil
by fighting people. That is God’s job in Christ’s victory. It is why Matthew 25:31-46 is so important to understand
within the first-things-first levels of commitment we are given the gifts to enjoy.
The
8th deadly sin: Loathing
If what you believe about yourself is inaccurate, and what you believe about
others is inaccurate, then what you do to help yourself and others will be ultimately destructive. The entities of influence
of darkness we wish to overcome are feeders on rage against our lives because it seeks undivided attention. Some people, who
are demoniacally traumatized, will let their families and communities be destroyed by working to constantly shift their attempts
to escape their torment by setting up others into diversions of destruction - simply to evade discovery.
We do not need to secretly do anything (…wrong to make it right…)
when we are honest about what we desire to do for the right reasons. What God says about us through Christ is the only sure
solution: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me." This is done by honoring
our positions of commitment to others unto God for His sake and not our own. God is not a magical genie in the sky. He works
His miracles through our hands as we trust in Him through those around us.
When we see what is viewed as unexpected negative results it is not whether
our or an other's faith is lacking. It is the denial of the gift of faith we have because of the fear adverse circumstances
and perspectives tend to bring. Others will block our progress to test our endurance but the building of character the world
deems as improvement is only a hindrance to success. Although the working of virtue through patience and long-suffering is
beneficial, it is not the goal of our walk in response to the gift of Life for Christ's sake. This would mean the evil had
a place in righteousness.
Jewels in a righteous crown are blessings in reward for faithfulness, they are
not provided in response to our endurance through the evil suffering of hardship. Evil suffering is not a strain of painful
load that teaches any sort of faithfulness. When we are caught up in ourselves, we tend to require others to be responsible
to our sense of reality. As we understand that God invites us to be caught up in Him for His purposes in the place we have
unto others, we find our responsibilities are unto others for God's sake. Of course, we must keep the priorities of position
to our married partner first, children next, extended family, friends, work associates, etc. respectively.
When others take advantage of our outward interest in their welfare, they are
being caught up in themselves having yet to realize their place unto God through their place unto the people around them.
It tends to force us into once again being caught up in ourselves in such a way that the others' responses cause us to defend
who we are in Christ. Our responses to the wisdom of the world within others (because they are not responding to the wisdom
of God) in sharing the understanding of our witness, brings greater opposition by feeding the self protectiveness of others.
They believe they are defending their concerns being caught up in themselves - especially if the others have built a self-serving
faith based in the concepts and attributes of God in defiance to Who He actually is.
But, realizing the virtue of our patience and long-suffering - the anguished
pain of bitterness against the evil we see working in and through others - allows us to know, in their own way, the others
are as concerned about the nature of things as are we. Rejoicing in victory refrains from gloating over an enemy’s defeat.
The reason our compassion is felt so deeply, and our anger over atrocities is so intense, is not based in the insult against
our own life as much as it is in the insult against God's awareness within our hearts. In this regard, it is the same situation
within the deviously demented user who is most caught up in their-self because the inward torment of wrong as right intensifies
the bondage of knowing they are causing harm to others for their own gratification. This causes increased hidden emotions
of inadequacy that overreact to compensate by idolizing others.
Identifying with the fantasy (the inaccurate valuation of another) causes a
realization of projected falsehood. Transferring the embarrassment for having made the mistake that reflects the original
misery that created the overvaluation of the other, the other is blamed for not measuring up to the false and unknown standard
- and a “brush off” of the other as insignificant reinforces our own fantasy of diversion into egotistical self
preservation. As the esteem of another falls to actuality, the errors of judgment find a deeper separation from the sense
of value of purpose in life one is born to realize.
The fears about not knowing, through not knowing, brings about a reaching out
again to the surrounding material world. These persuasions are not humanly natural and they are not created to be of human
nature. When it is understood the confusion (the problem) is not the person, and more precisely not actually a part of the
person except when accepted in belief to be so, the awareness causes a release of the weight of darkness. As long as anyone
takes a breath in this flesh life, there is an awareness of a need for being free from the self bondage that binds others
in an effort to take control over the terror of mortal panic.
Compulsions to hang onto the validated securities of who one is, according to
particular physical attributes and talents, becomes the strength of a person's accepted identity - as long as the outward
behaviors are seemingly acceptable and beneficial to others. As people agree to the things that are not harmful and against
the things that are harmful there is what we know as worldly wisdom, or natural law. In the purest sense, if everyone were
to be "of the persuasions of the surrounding environment" without a spiritual and eternal purpose, there would be a taking
from each other without intent to harm and no harm considered or expected.
Conversely, the Wisdom of God through His mercy of grace to overcome the evil
intrusions that cause people to err in judgment of self over others is of a giving way instead of a natural worldly intent
to take for oneself - though we understand the taking of generosity is an appreciation that overrides the temptations of personal
advantage. It is, of course, contrary to the balance of individualism and autonomy in the concern for others without a selfish
motive and makes it seem to be unproductive in a competition driven society. But, helping each other achieve for each other
contrasted against helping each other achieve for self benefit gets blurred when there is not an internal wisdom of empathy
and compassion shared among everyone involved.
This internal awareness, as developed through interaction with our spouse (and
the subsequent degrees of interaction with others), comes in the moment as we trust that our responses to others and the world's
offerings are led by the present guidance of God. It is, as Paul said, a giving up of oneself as we encounter the now to accept
one's true self in Christ.
John
2:13-17

I have piles of it. I just don't know who to give it to." ~ George Carlin
