He doesn’t have a leg to stand on!
THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF ALL LIES
"The truth hurts?" No! That is the devil’s lie.
The truth sets men free, it never makes men sigh.
The motive behind facts is what makes them true.
Any fact can be used to cause pain and hurt you.
Facts are always lies, if they hurt another,
But the truth told in love gives joy to one’s brother.
Check motives before speaking, if you would be wise.
Devil less "D" is the father of lies.
If a fact is reported by one that is sly,
That fact can be used to prove any lie.
The motive is the mother of dishonest facts
In science, poll taking, or filing one’s tax.
The devil quoted Scripture to tempt Christ, Our Lord,
But his motives were evil, making lies of God’s Word.
Men do the same--use God’s Word to prove lies.
False teachers quote Scripture to line pockets large-size.
Preachers and teachers hold the Lord’s name in vain,
Not believing the Word, they twist it in twain.
Without the Spirit of Truth, they are blind at noonday.
God calls men to service, but some lead sheep astray.
Yes, facts can be used to manipulate men
For selfish gain or to hide secret sin.
Facts are often used for inflicting guilt-trips,
And mislead the trusting like rudderless ships.
The law is not mocked, not one jot or tittle!
Even April Fool jokes hurt victims a little.
Proverbs tell us that a lie told in jest
Is like a madman throwing torches--even death.
If the facts cause you pain,
Lead only to confusion,
And to making bad decisions;
Then they are a delusion!
So, be warned, good neighbor please close the door.
Don’t listen to facts without checking more.
If the facts make you free, help you understand,
Give you peace and joy; it’s the truth from God’s land.
The motive mothers the way that facts are presented,
The devil is father of all lies invented.
You can’t break God’s law, if love motivates you,
But if you walk in evil, even facts tempt. How true!
THE EVIL MOTIVE
(See I Timothy 6: 9-10.)
"But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a
snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which
drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love
of money is the root of all evil: which while some
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
II Timothy 3: 1-7, This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
HAS SATAN DECEIVED YOU?
Is it fact or fable? What’s under the table?
Do men live again? Or is that a fable?
The story I heard goes something like this:
"Men live again, until they reach bliss.
"If men live many lives, they gain wisdom and love,
Until they unite with their Maker above."
But Jesus told me, "If men return under guise,
They would become wicked--even more Satan-wise!"
Satan says, "Reincarnation leads men to perfection."
Jesus says, "It would lead to corruption and defection."
I think that one reason that Jesus died for our sins--
He shed His priceless blood to cleanse "dirty old men."
He went to the cross to wash white as snow,
And give a new birth to "Old Bottles" below.
Jesus said old flasks can not hold new wine.
They must be renewed or burst on the vine. (Jesus is the "Vine")
An old soul would explode, if given God’s Spirit.
Without Jesus Christ, they really should fear it.
Satan wills to agree with all Our Lord taught;
Except His main theme: the souls the Lord bought.
That God poured Himself into a virgin’s womb--
Arose from the dead to destroy the world’s tomb.
Satan gnashes his teeth--hates even Christ’s name.
He always denies the reason He came.
HAS SATAN DECEIVED YOU? PART II
And God cast him down to earth out of heaven.
God so loved the world that He gave His Only Son,
Who was born from God’s bosom; like two, but only One.
Many have stumbled on that Word. God has spoken:
God’s Son is the Rock that cannot be broken.
Milton explained Scripture better than anyone;
But he died a lost soul if he was an Arien.
Dante "saw" heaven as if he were there.
But the blood and Christ’s cross are gifts he didn’t share.
Bunyan wrote of virtue--exposed Vanity Fair,
But failed to mention God’s sacrifice there.
The Watchtower is against all sin under heaven,
But denies Christ’s Deity. Don’t eat that leaven.
Buddha understood love; Mohammed--God’s mercy;
Confucius was wise, but their message was hearsay.
Christ declared of Himself, "I am God’s Only Son."
His message was direct. He said, "We are One."
Or, perhaps, you would rather call Jesus a liar,
Or a megalomaniac and offend One who is Higher.
For God Himself, said they were One,
As John baptized, He called Jesus His Son.
Our Lord Jesus Christ created for Him.
All angels and anglers--He can save or condemn.
So, you must accept Him as your Lord and Savior
To be born of His Spirit, and change your behavior.
If you believe Him--claim His blood and the cross,
And know you are saved--Then what is your loss?
Give God the Glory for all that I said.
If you trust in my story, Why do you play dead?
When Satan can’t kill faith in God’s Grace,
He denies God’s Power, spits in His face.
He slanders God’s Spirit to make you cower--
To keep you from using God’s promised dower.
God’s love is infinite. He has forgiven you.
So, step up and claim it. I did! What a coup!
Greater is He that is in you
than god of this world, who deceives
By denying the power of God’s Spirit
Or attacking anyone that receives.
Do you really believe God’s Spirit
Is not for all Christians today?
Is that why you waver from heeding it--
Think fruits and gifts cause dismay?
Hey! Ask for the power! More than ever we need it!
They walked with Jesus--and heard. We only read it!
So, rise up and claim the gifts God has for you.
Then serve with all Power "Who is Faithful and True.
RESIST THE DEVIL
Satan has deceived the whole world--no exception.
He will deceive you, if you grant him reception.
Avoid the occult. Contact not one spirit.
The power of all psychics is of Satan, so fear it.
Don’t play games invented by snakes.
Avoid Ouiji boards, crystals, and spiritual fakes.
Resist the devil: he’ll flee from you.
But you’ll fall in his clutches, if you pursue.
Recall the Sons of Sceva who asked an apostle
To sell them God’s Power, as if it came in a bottle.
They learned that God’s Power is given us free
By way of God’s Spirit to those who agree
To make Jesus Christ, Lord of your life.
Know that anyone "selling" is peddling strife.
THE LOVE OF MONEY
Why do men love money? They think it is the means
To safety and health, but they’re full of beans.
They walk in fear--become wicked--depraved.
They think the path to success--with dollars is paved.
Yet, God in His Word has this belief waived.
We are justified by faith, without which, none are saved.
Fear is the enemy. Love casts out fear.
Concern for others builds faith and good cheer.
For safety and health, trust in God, your Maker,
He’ll provide for your needs, if you stop being a taker.
Forget yourselves. Walk in faith for each other.
Forget your fears. Take care of your brother.
THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL
Nose to the grindstone--workaholic--depraved.
Can anyone wear two suits or four shoes?
Sleep in two beds, use two cars or "any twos?"
The greatest deception is thinking we own
Other persons and children--that we sit on God’s throne!
The air that we breathe--the sun, moon and stars--
The lakes and the rivers--these are not behind bars.
The beautiful mountains--the oceans and shores--
They belong to us all. They’re not locked behind doors.
Who maintains this wealth? Who cares for it all?
Who feeds the birds and the beasts that enthrall?
I own the whole world, but maintain just a bit--
The place where I live is all mine, and that is it!
I don’t really own it. It’s something I do.
It keeps me busy. I love gardening, too.
I love to share it--the fruits that I grow.
Guests are my pleasure--even those I don’t know.
Who is imprisoned? Those with obsessions--
Who must put their name on many possessions.
Possessions enslave us. They don’t set us free.
The whole world is ours, If we’d learn to say, "We."
I’ve always been rich, yet, owed little tax.
A prosperous heart is a gift. So, relax.
It is written that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Freud said as much about sex, meaning it is the "root of all evil" if one feels deprived of sex. Perhaps, it depends on whether one is a male of the species or afemale as to what he or she believes concerning the matter! Everyone wants to project his/her guilt on another! Women have no problem believing that sex is the root of all evil, and men blame women for their love of money.
CUT OUT THE MIDDLE MAN
The middleman is Satan. He gets in between.
All our sweat and labor goes to him--unseen.
He sets interest rates. We are insurance poor.
If the unions don’t get you, the IR-ASS gets more.
We slave for this master. Don’t have time for our kids.
It’s time we said, "No!" to all of his bids.
Stop paying tribute to the cause of our fear.
Man can survive by playing it by ear.
Work with your hands. Raise your own food.
From scraps, build your home. Trust the Lord for what’s good.
Come out of the world. Drop out of the race.
Teach your own kids. Stay in your own place.
Cut the middleman out! Trust yourself to get by.
For what’s lost in the middle makes this god amplify.
Satan is a liar--makes false promises as well.
Tell that old thief, "Go back to Hell
RELIGIOUS FOOLS
"What goes around comes around," everyone knows.
Even the young and the dumb believe, "That’s how it goes."
It’s experience--not religion, that teaches men,
They can’t live long enough to outlive their sin.
"The wages of sin is sickness and death."
No one can escape to any height, breadth, or depth.
So, why do men think they can beat these "no-odds"?
Insisting on their "RITES"--believing false gods? (funeral "rites")
Men have to be "religious," downright fanatical,
To think they control nature as if she’s erratical!
THE WAY OF THE WISE
"My Father’s love shall save the day.
I bring no religion, which is Satan’s realm
With ritual, repetitions, tempting stars at the helm.
Positive thinking isn’t what faith is about.
Jesus hated "self-love," which is the devil’s route.
No one can "think" his way out of a hole.
Jesus taught that faith guides even the mole.
So, admit all your sins. Then give them up.
So, you can have life and drink from His cup.
The only Truth--The only Way--
Is the Only Son, and all the angels said, "Yea!’
THE GOD OF THIS WORLD
The god of this world keeps us under the law. He keeps us in bondage to the law. Satan uses the law,and confuses the law. In his courts, he abuses the law. He controls and condemns by the law, and evokes fear of the law. He knows nothing of God’s forgiveness or love that sets menfree from the law, if they choose to believe in God’s law.
He will never admit that Jesus Christ sets us free from the law.
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, PART I
Romans 6: 23
Winners Live: Losers Die
If we did not hurt one another to "win?"
When we try to win at the expense of others,
We end up losing both goods and lovers.
What could we be, if we did not sin--
If we did not lust after drugs, sex, and gin?
We destroy ourselves, when we hurt one another.
It is the law of the jungle that no man can smother.
We cannot escape--not one jot or tittle.
Everyone dies as we sin--just a little!
Every man sins. Every man dies:
God in the flesh said that every man lies.
Only one sinless man had the Truth, which He told.
Only Jesus Christ lived to never grow old.
All other men--both saints and sinners--
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, PART II
to dig a ditch by of the road?
Would you use a moth or bug
to pull a truck with a load?
Can a fish survive out of water?
Could a cat live under the sea?
Would you house a cow in a snake hole?
Would you make a roost for a flea?
Man was created in the image of God.
Man has God’s nature--not that of a clod.
Can man go against nature--give the devil his nod
Any more than a cat can give place to a cod?
Can man follow the rules laid down by Satan--
Denying his nature with lies that are blatant?
The true definition of death
Is separation of body from soul.
The true definition of hell
Is separation from God to a hole.
Any man, who thinks he can sin
And live, shows contempt for God’s rule.
Any man, who doesn’t repent
And expects to join God, is a fool.
Jesus spoke these words of Himself.
"I AM the Only Way" out.
You can call this prophet a liar,
But His words are not ones to flout.
You can read His Word for yourself--
John 3: 16--14: 6.
You can be true to God’s nature.
You can get out of this fix.
THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, PART III
Is that sin leads to death. Men have all gone astray.
"The wages of sin," on each bulletin board,
Should remind us that death is its certain reward.
‘The wages of sin," should be on the walls
In all public places, "He who lusts always falls."
Bumper stickers on cars should remind every driver,
"Sin leads to death," or "A drunk’s no survivor."
The cost of sin--post it everywhere--
In political halls, "Greed and death are a pair."
On the streets, in the ghettos, graffiti should read,
"The Grim Reaper harvests young gangs without heed."
The posters in rest rooms should warn, "All fornicators
And deviant practitioners are disease-bearing traitors."
"Violence and hatred born of envy and strife,"
If you see these signs, run for your life.
Men all need to think about deeds they have done.
The cost of one’s sins is a loss next to none.
The Lord tells the truth. The devil will lie.
The Lord’s Way is Life. Choose Satan’s and die.
MAYBE WE ALL HAVE AIDS
The Lord’s Golden Rule is God’s rod, but spoken.
If men break that rule, by that rod, men are broken.
Laws made by men are fancy and fickle.
Men make loopholes, and pay not a nickle.
But breaking God’s law imprisons and scars.
No one escapes this cell without bars.
If men hurt their brothers, their sin leads to death.
God’s law scourges men until their last breath.
God’s law is not cancelled--not one jot or tittle.
The lie detector measures how men die a little.
You think God punishes each time we sin?
No, we just suffer, when we hurt other men.
Jesus denies that He came to condemn.
He came to give life, if we follow Him.
Jesus said, "Sin no more lest a worst thing befall."
It’s each man’s choice--not God striking all.
"Fornication is fun," Satan makes up that bed.
Believers lie in bondage until they are dead.
Dishonoring parents discounts God’s promise
Of long life on earth, robbing health from us.
Suppressed resentment could be killing you.
Forgive your parents and claim life promised you.
One lady was healed as she confessed
Her hatred for a parent that she had repressed.
Just a reminder; God did not say,
"If parents deserve honor, then you should obey."
If God had said that, then no one would get credit.
Adam and Eve would be first to admit it.
All sin is lethal; Even seven are deadly:
Greed, pride, sloth, and envy, Lust, anger, and gluttony.
They blind, deceive, and keep us from confessing.
They hold us in bondage, and destroy every blessing.
Was someone cruel, causing bitter despair?
God says forgive, so disease will be rare.
Many folks think that the evil done them
Can’t be forgiven, so they must condemn.
But God says one’s health depends on forgive.
Unless we learn how, we ain’t gonna live.
Hardest to endure is persecution for good.
There is no cure. What? Knock on wood?
In these cases, the Lord has the answer.
Shake the dust from your feet--get rid of that cancer.
Yet the Sermon on the Mount says, "Bless those who curse you."
Prayers for persecutors count, and this helps you, too.
The Lord said that filth on one’s hands doesn’t kill.
But what’s in our hearts is what makes us ill.
Do you wonder at these words? It’s not just a guess.
Our immunity breaks down, when we’re under stress.
Bacteria we find in one can be found in all.
One immune system works. Another will stall.
Viruses are harmless, until triggered by stress,
And guilt is the main cause, unless we confess.
I was addicted to three packs a day.
I confessed it as sin; the Lord took it away.
Satisfying one’s lusts such as drugs and perversions
At the expense of all others are destructive diversions.
These ultimate sins effect ultimate ends:
A total breakdown and AIDS apprehends.
But nobody’s perfect, so confess any sin.
Just say you are sorry to restore health again.
Man’s rules for health are important. It’s true.
So, eat right, and rest, practice abstinence, too.
"Exercise profits little," we hear Jesus say.
The best exercise is to push food away.
Nevertheless, faith is the test.
What you believe, is for you what is best.
Walking in faith instead of in fear
Will make all our ills soon disappear.
The only law that we must obey
Is "Love God and neighbor" for health everyday.
If you really want health, forgive, serve, and love;
Commit your life forever to the Good Lord above.
When I finished this message,
The Lord said to me,
"See III John 1: 2.
As Gaius, you are free."
As I read from God’s pen.
Glory to the Father,
To His Son, and Amen.
III John 1: 2, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
THE POWER PLAY
For deeds of shame
Like "Cheat to gain both wealth and fame."
He takes in vain God’s Holy Name.
We must be bold. Quote Scripture told.
Both new and old.
Because God’s Word is Christ’s own Mold.
"Love Power" believed-- knocks Satan cold.
THE DEVIL’S PLAY
Astrology: the devil’s play.
He says, "New love" and that’s the way
He traps a spouse with feet of clay.
Yes, night and day he stalks his prey.
And palmistry: The devil’s play.
He says, "Divorce" and that’s the way
He leads the softest hearts astray.
Yes, night and day he stalks his prey.
Or Ouiji boards: The devil’s play.
He lures the gamblers to dismay,
And laughs at losers all the day.
Yes, night and day he stalks his prey.
Add alcohol: The devil’s play.
He uses drugs to hook a jay.
Then maims and kills; there’s Hell to pay!
Yes, night and day he stalks his prey.
All barefaced lies: The devil’s play.
He calls it harmless fun to stay
And play his games, so he can slay.
Yes, night and day he stalks his prey.
(A "jay" is a stupid gullible person. Webster.)
SMOKE SCREENS FROM HELL
To hide One Truth that he knows so well.
He is willing to agree to all Moses said.
He knows wise men see that God’s laws aren’t dead.
Satan’s false religions have over the years
Taught all of God’s truths except the One that he fears.
Buddha said we should love. Mohammed said we had souls
That could live in heaven, if we paid very big doles.
Satan will tell us to serve and he always agrees
That we are ALL sinners, but our works cannot please.
Satan tells us to fast and deny all desires;
Then taunts us to despair that we’ll still fuel his fires.
The smoke screens continue to rise up from Hell.
Satan invents many lies to hide the Truth he won’t tell.
He invented false evidence so that most men believed
That spontaneous generation was how life was conceived.
He said life sprung up when conditions were right,
But God could not become a man overnight.
He said miracles don’t happen, but spontaneous generation
Is a fact--not a miracle and invents proof by relation.
He can produce skulls and bones and tease men with machines
That "prove" many false theories, which are only smoke screens.
He tells us we are gods, and can get into heaven
By good works and service and by eating his leaven.
He promotes hopeless tasks, and unworkable plans--
Knowing we will fail and will become also-rans.
He says he’s our god, or we are gods, or he lies,
Saying God doesn’t exist, which nobody buys.
His evidence and facts are to dash all men’s hopes
That we cannot be saved without being dopes.
His smoke screens ascend to hide his Great Foe,
The Lord Jesus Christ, and the Cause of his woe.
The smoke screens ascend as a stench in God’s nose,
But the screens cannot hide God’s Son who arose.
Christ is the Truth that Satan denies.
Christ is the reason for all of his lies.
But lies can’t hide Jesus Christ and His Love.
Smoke screens cannot darken The Light from above.
Hallelujah! God’s Son, Begotten and blessed
Was born of a virgin to give all men rest.
Our Lord came to save all men who believe
That He’s God’s Only Son. Let no one deceive.
Our Lord paid the price that no man could pay.
He gave His Life and arose Easter Day.
Hallelujah! God’s Son arose Easter Day!
AN UNPRECEDENTED PROPHECY
I read with fascination George Will’s erudite review of Ron Rosenbaum’s book, The Search for the Origins of His (Adolf Hitler’s) Evil.
As a young adult during World War II, I recall those stories that circulated about Hitler. We all heard about his grandmother’s affair with a Jew who abandoned her with child, his cancer-ridden mother’s suffering at the hands of an alleged "sadistic" Jewish doctor, and we even heard of his "missing testicle."
Also, everyone had a theory about Hitler’s extraordinary power to persuade multitudes to carry out his evil plans, but no one could rationalize the Hitler phenomena, because history is replete with heroes and saints who were the better for having been born into--but capitalized on--much worse circumstances.
In my case, the Lord answered my questions in a way I had never heard before or since. He explained that the unprecedented prophecy that Israel would become a new nation in one day was given to Isaiah (Isaiah 66: 4-8) with the question, "Whoever heard of such a thing?"
Jesus prophesied that the generation, which saw this prophecy fulfilled (May 15, 1948), would not pass before He returned. To frustrate that prophecy, The Lord explained, Satan raised up Hitler to annihilate all the Jews. The Lord added that these same Jews would be richly rewarded for their sufferings.
Satan failed, but he has an much more wicked plan, according to Scripture, to deceive the whole world. Read God’s Word so that you will know the truth.
WHAT IS "LUKEWARM?
Revelation 3: 16, "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot: I will spew thee out of my mouth."
Synonymous Phrases for "Lukewarm": Extenuating circumstances; Nothing is black or white; Shades of gray; All things are relative; Yeah, but--; I can forgive, but
I cannot forget; The devil made me do it; Heh! Heh! Heh! If you had parents like mine, then--; You’d drink, too, if your wife--; I worked hard all day, and have to get away from these kids; If you would just change, then I could--; I drink (or do drugs) for social reasons; I could quit, if I wanted to. Why should I want to?
Let George do it; It’s not my turn; It is my turn; I did it last time; Everybody does it; Even the president does it; Why are you picking on me? I get blamed for everything; It’s not my fault; I’m not guilty; Give and take; Live and let live; We need to keep records as to who owes who what; She didn’t send me a card, so--; You can’t trust anyone; Life sprung up on bare rock; Who cares?
Synonymous Phrases for "Cold"
Religion is the opiate of the masses; The Word of God is designed to control; Religion is for dummies; I am going to scientifically prove that I am right! I do not believe in the devil, either! You cannot say I am not fair! And I am going to prove that, too. If it takes me the rest of my life, I am going to prove that it is all hokum, because I care!
Examples of "Cold." The Apostle Paul and C. S. Lewis before they were converted.
In their cases, "good intentions" did not pave the path to hell. Because they were "ice cold" they became "red hot" for the Lord in a way few men ever do. Anyone who is really "cold", shall not rest until he/she comes to the "Truth."
MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE BAHA’I RELIGION
I have recently followed explanations of the Baha’i faith with great (or maybe grave) interest, and cannot help but be reminded of the last Baha’is we knew as acquaintances in Chicago about sixty-one years ago.
They lived in the same apartment complex where I lived with my parents at the age of eleven. They really had great and enthusiastic plans for bringing peace to the world, and tried to make proselytes of all of us.
They had been corresponding with another Baha’i in the Middle East, and had raised money to bring him and other Baha’is to this country on a peace mission. At that time, they spoke of preventing war by understanding each other’s cultures and religions, which they believed to be basically the same. I especially recall the skepticism of my father and the glowing interest of my mother.
I am not exactly certain how it happened, but the couple we knew got a divorce, and he ended up in prison for killing his wife’s alleged lover, one of the visiting Baha’is. Fortunately, the visitor was not an important man, and an International incident was averted.
What I remember best about the whole affair (other than seeing the police taking the man away and all the excitement) was seeing my dad, a very quiet and thoughtful man chuckling to himself behind his newspaper. My mother could not understand how he could see humor in what she called, "the worst tragedy she had ever witnessed." Dad tried to explain by saying, "The irony of it all." Finally, Dad said, "It must have been the Lord’s will." My mother accepted that explanation
Another point is that the Baha’i prophecies are so diametrically opposed to those of Jesus Christ’s, that one of these "great prophets" must be a liar or a megalomaniac. I would highly recommend to any Baha’i who thinks that his/her prophet agrees with Christ, but has the "latest with the mostest" for today’s society, that he/she reads carefully Matthew, chapter 24, especially verse 24.
Also, Paul, the Apostle, predicted that one of the last signs before the Second Coming of Christ (Jesus Christ speaks of his return several times in the four Gospels.) would be that "false prophets" would be speaking of "peace and safety" just before the destruction of the world. At that time, Jesus Christ would return in a cloud for ALL TO SEE--NOT A SECRET COMING--AND IN ALL HIS GLORY. He will come unexpectedly as a thief in the night, but not in secret.
Jesus Christ suffered all kinds of torture and torment before He died for us on the cross. As He was dying He cried, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."
That is the kind of love Jesus Christ is all about, and He told me to raise these questions, "Do you have that kind of love for your child or the one who sits across the table from you?" Also, "How can you love strangers, if you do not know how to love the members of your own family?"
The Spirit of Truth is the author of the above message. Nevertheless, the events from my life are facts. Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings. And all the Christians said together, "Maranatha!"
BEWARE OF THE SPIDER WEB
"Laws through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught."
Honore Balzac
Satan is sly. Satan isn’t a fable.
He deals all his cards under the table.
Who invented tough love? God’s love is kind.
Satan is the one who wants kids in a bind.
Get with it, parents. Kids need your protection.
Out on the streets, they are Satan’s confection.
Kids are scared; they know all the wheelers.
Their lives are threatened if they narc on these dealers.
Kids are in Satan’s bonds, because parents don’t think
That the men in power look away when they wink.
The one’s most zealous to blame kids for drugs
May be the most suspect of sweeping deals under rugs.
Watch out for judges and those in high places,
Who put kids behind bars, while they play their aces.
And those who advise, "Lock kids out of the house."
May be touting "tough love" to hide the smell of a mouse.
All the self-righteous zeal to condemn children
Stinks to high heaven, and God said, "Amen."
ANNOUNCING: THE SERPENT’S END
Jesus called Elijah the best man on earth.
Who came as John the Baptist for what that is worth.
He came to announce the birth of God’s Son,
As John the Baptist, honored second to One.
Jesus told this tale in Matthew, chapter 2,
If you don’t believe me, it’s all up to you.
But who will announce that antichrist is here?
Who will denounce that snake without fear?
Tell how he deceives and how he conceives
All kinds of evil to waste him who believes?
John the Baptist was good. It was Eve who transgressed.
She asked for the job and hopes to be blessed.
It will be her pleasure--Yes, vengeance is sweet--
To expose that old serpent, and thwart his last feat.
The Lord said that the one who’s forgiven the most
Is the one who loves best. That is Eve’s only boast.
God called her NAI-EVE, which is why her heart glows.
That’s the nicest thing He said, that she really knows.
If God forgave Eve, and gave her a new name,
He will forgive ALL, and for ALL DO THE SAME.
COME OUT OF THE WORLD
A Message from the Lord
The world is under the Old law while you have been freed from the Old Law. You have been set free from the bonds of Satan who is god of this world. Do not interfere in the affairs of men of the world. Let the blind lead the blind, and do not interfere in that leadership. Do not resist the powers that be for they are ordained of God (Romans 13: 2), even though you may not understand God’s purposes.
Even though the ways of the world are Satan’s ways, God allows the world’s ways to drive men to see their need for Me, drive them to listen to my Holy Spirit, demonstrating and telling them to come out of the world and into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Satan first deceives men, leading them into sin and the committing of crimes, then he criticizes, accuses, condemns, and sets himself up as both judge and jury, convicting and sentencing to prison. He also promotes the inflicting of corporal and capital punishment, persecuting men, and destroying their works. His evil scheme is to instill fear of me in all men to keep them from coming to me. He shall fail!
These are the ways of the world, but because of these things men in their suffering and sin cry out for mercy from God, and by my Holy Spirit are led unto me. God has allowed Satan to drive men straight into my loving care!
However, Christians must separate themselves from the ways of the world, so that they can receive the lost and forsaken. They should separate themselves from the
Old Law (or from passing more laws), which bring men into bondage to Satan. My servants should have nothing but pity and love for the deceived, the lost, and all sinners.
My servants should hold out their arms in welcome and offer love, forgiveness, and salvation from me to all men. Do not condemn even rapists, murderers, or thieves, but preach the gospel of salvation to those who are in bondage to Satan. Set them free with the Truth, and change hearts instead of laws, as the world does.
Keep in mind, you are few and the fields are white with harvest, therefore you have neither time nor energy, nor money entrusted to you for the ways of the world. Be good stewards. Remember, the donations you receive represent portions of lives that Christians all over the world sacrifice one day at a time for my sake. When you spend their money, know that you are "spending their lives."
Do not waste their lives by trying to change the world by employing the ways of the world. You are the salt of the earth. Neither should you use salt to salt one another. A little salt goes a long way. Too much salt can be bitter, therefore pour your salt on the lost, and waste not your salt on worldly pleasures that profit you nothing, bringing no souls into the kingdom of God.
"Work, for the night is coming," are the words of one of your hymns, but I say, "Work together," even though you belong to different denominations. Never forget that you are of one faith. Love one another; forgive one another; do not be critical of one another; do not accuse or sit in judgment of one another; and do not go to law against one another.
Come out of the world. Separate yourselves from Satan’s ways. Provide homes and refuges for the handicapped, orphans, juvenile delinquents, unwed mothers, battered wives and children, and the rejected and the homeless. Feed the hungry so that ALL will see the love of God in you and be drawn away from the ways of the world unto me and into my kingdom.
Use the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, which the world cannot receive, to win even more souls in the kingdom. But most of all, let them see the fruits of my Holy Spirit in you; let them see AGAPE love in you shine so brightly that they will know instantly the difference between the ways of the world and the kingdom of God.
MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE.
DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME IN THIS MESSAGE?
