Getting To Know God Better 48

 I'm feeling a certain draft/suction on my soul caused by the "Group."

There are so many people today that are driven or lead by trend setters and mind suckers, those willing to spew out all kinds of unverified din, those with no compunction for right or wrong, only promoting their cause. These people (the Group) stand in the way of those innocent and easily assuaged travelers on the path of life to steer them off the path into dark, dank, dangerous, disgusting and treacherous places. Young and beautiful people are being hustled like cattle into troughs of lies, deceit, false beliefs and trickery to indoctrinate the unexpected into the meme of wariness. 

This Group of life sucking, devouring and destroying people are a malignant virus of sorts attaching itself to everything and everyone possible in hopes of thwarting any and all efforts for anyone to have and pursue a beautiful and enlightened life/lifestyle. This Group wants everyone that is not part of the group to suffer loss, feel despaired, to not hold true to your roots, to feel disgraced and unwanted. They mock the ancient ways. They mock good and sensible, tried and true, respected and sound principles and beliefs. They mock Christians and Jews, and other believers of other faiths, any and all that deny the sovereignty of the group. They are irreligious, full of pride, haughty and scheming, mean spirited and dangerous.

This Group uses science books written by fiction authors to build a new strain of beings, subject only to the policy of the writers. They are re-writing history and creating a fantasy about who we were, who we are and who we will be. This Group allows no personal thought unless approved by its members. This Group denies God any place other than non-existent, to be spoken of only as an archaic myth. 

They blame everyone except themselves for our condition as a people.

If you are wondering if this sounds like strong language and a strong objection to the Group, read this: 

 2Ti 3:1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 

2Ti 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 

2Ti 3:3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 

2Ti 3:4  Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 

2Ti 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 

2Ti 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 

This is not a treatise on "the last days" and in no way am I suggesting that there is any cause and effect derived from this scripture reference, but it is a clear indicator that even two thousand years ago there were those people with insight into the depravity of this Group.

What makes the outcome of the behavior of this Group so insidious is that what they purport, they disguise under banners, such as; racism, non-inclusivity, social justice, reparations, and sensitivity training. All the while they are practicing racism, non-inclusivity, anti-social justice, taking from others for gain for themselves and intolerant sensitivities to anyone outside the Group.    

This is a Group of fools.

"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." PSA  14:1

Getting To Know God 47

You might be thinking: God is having to work extra hard to keep a foothold in the US.

That is what the godless population wants you to think, but there is no truth in it. God has foreseen every event and condition of all peoples for all times. God is not moved by the so-called progress of the godless against the Spirit of God. The godless have gained nothing, only losses have gone their way. The godless can make headway with the godless, but not with the godly. 

OK, you're wondering, then why is it that so many young people are turning away for Christianity? Who would you blame? Let's face it, the Christian community is very diverse and quite often confused about its identity; fighting over the littlest things, making fun of the differences between them, having to be right all the time at the expense of truth, foolishly chasing the charlatan and pettifogger, indoctrinating their parishioners in lieu of leading them. The list goes on. Young people would be flocking to Jesus if Jesus was being represented by loving, caring, followers of Christ instead of followers of tradition or dogma or church polity or nationalized religion. Don't get me wrong their are genuine believers in all denominations, but if you are trying to lead people to a religion, Jesus is still taking a backseat.

Don't be worried about the conditions of the times. God is full aware of the condition of mankind. He has made provisions for times such as these: 2Pe_3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

The conditions of our times cannot be accurately represented by the ungodly, secular humanist, agnostic, atheist or any man-made religious philosophy. The conditions of the times can be accurately represented by God Himself: 2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 

2Ti 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 

2Ti 3:3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 

2Ti 3:4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 

2Ti 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 

2Ti 3:6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 

2Ti 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 

Like I said, don't be worried. 

Getting To Know God Better 46

Getting to know God better requires simple faith. I say simple faith, because simple faith is not incumbered by a multitude of religious polity or Church dogma, or any other complicated relationship, like having to be of a certain rank in your religious system or possessing a certain title. 

Simple faith trusts what God says about Himself. Simple faith doesn't have to be politically correct or gender driven, doesn't have to be practiced a certain way or always saying the right thing. Simple faith relies on God.

Does simple faith mean that you can't grow in faith or expand your spiritual horizons?

Does it mean you can't have or earn a title or a position in the Church?

Does it mean you can't be intellectually stimulated with all levels of higher learning?

No, but as a person grows in faith, the importance of the personal relationship and understanding of God, through Christ, via the Holy Spirit becomes more important and the relationship to titles or positions, organization rules, regulations, polity or dogma take a back seat. 

It's not that these things don't have importance or that you should ignore the ideals associated with membership title, or position, it's just that as the depth of your personal relationship with God grows, you begin to integrate more of God's pure economy into your everyday living. 

As you get closer to God, God becomes the focal point.

How to find God
How to get to God
How to please God

How to please God's people

    All become of less significance. 

I've known people trying to find God over and over again for twenty, thirty or forty years.

Ever seeking, never finding.

I've know people who have found God and they are so disappointed that they decide to move on through life without God's oversight.

I've known people who try so hard to get in God's good graces that they ruin their relationship with their loved ones and others around them. Trying to please God using manmade methods is wholly fruitless.

I've known people who lose all interest in their loved ones and friends to serve religion, religious ferver/fever.

Getting to know God better enhances your relationship with people.

Getting to know God better enlightens your mind to be able to serve God and love mankind at the same time.

Getting to know God better expands your horizons, bringing to bear all possibilities in life, not suppressing the spiritual component, but integrating the spiritual with the carnal to become whole.

    That's right. Those who do not house the Holy Spirit are not whole and cannot be.

    You can be fully human and fully carnal, but not whole.

    Without the Spirit of God, there are so many limitations.

I know that there are many people that believe that they are just as good and just as honest and just as honorable, having not received the Spirit of God. They are correct. The Spirit of God does not purify your behavior, it just saves you from the eternal consequences of that behavior. 

Yes there are many wonderful, honest, grateful, people that have not received the Spirit of God. 

But those people have a limited experience here on earth, because they do not have within them the indwelling Holy Spirit. They do not have the internal steering mechanism that runs on Spirit power. Even though their thoughts can reach high and develop new creations, their ability is limited. Not everything is measured by prowess or intellectual property or invention. There is also understanding and wisdom that reach beyond mental acumen and touch the world with spiritually empowered events or actions. Spiritually endowed actions bring to pass God ordained events.

OK, your not buying it. The world around you is pointing to the so-called fact that secular society can get along just fine without the aid of the supernatural intervention. Really. That's the thing, those who do not have the Spirit of God are trying to teach those who have the Spirit of God, that having the Spirit of God is of no advantage, personally or globally. It's like someone who has never seen an eagle try to explain an eagle to someone who has raised or studied eagles for a lifetime. 

Moral of the story.

Don't let the uninitiated teach you how to be initiated.
