 WHAT DO YOU HOLD TO BE TRUE?

It has been said that the core of sin is forgetting that God is God, and we are not. We did not create ourselves. We are not the author of our own being. We do not understand what it means to be fully human. Sin has marred human life from the inside out so that we have lost who we are and what life is meant to be. But the hunger to fully become who we are meant to be still remains. It is a voracious hunger and one that cannot be satisfied by anything this world and its ways can ever offer as a solution for that ravenous thirst.

The truth is, that whatever is not from God, of God, is dehumanizing. What the world system presents as the answer will never satisfy that hunger that drives humanity. The ways and means of culture do not fill up the emptiness, they only carve out a deeper cavern in the soul of a person.

There is a sinister plot working to mar and distort the image of God that each human being still bears. That plot against us knowing and experiencing wholeness is satanic in origin as Satan hates humanity because it bears the image of God. Satan is also desperate to keep humanity from seeing and hearing that God knows us, loves us, and has made a way, the only way, for us to be restored back in the relationship which alone can cause us to become fully human again. Satan hates humanity because God has made a way for us to be forgiven for all our sin and rebellion. Satan’s choice to reject God as Life has resulted in him and his fallen angels to be eternally lost but humanity still has an opportunity to be restored to God. That infuriates the kingdom of darkness.

One of the most sinister lies now being foisted on humanity culturally and politically is that God, if He exists, has made mistakes in the lives of many, causing them to be conceived, knit together in their mother’s wombs wrongly. The lie is that being born genetically a male or female is not defining. Satan is working hard to distort even more effectively to distort and destroy the image of God in people through transgenderism ideology. It is attempting to define human life in terms of human sexuality, which is a cheat. Bodies are being mutilated and children are being groomed to believe God made an error when He created them. Young people are being sexualized before they are mentally, emotionally, or developmentally able to discern up from down. They are lied to and are told that any confusion they might feel about themselves is evidence that they are not whom they seem to be.

This aberration is neither scientifically nor medically justified let alone proven to be factual. But anyone from the medical or scientific community who points that out is immediately slandered and accused of being phobic simple because they will not affirm and worship the lies. God has made us for more.

We were created to become fully human in a living, ongoing relationship with the One who called us into being. The only place, the only context where anyone becomes fully human is in relation to God through Jesus Christ. The Lord is the One who gives human life meaning and purpose. He fills the emptiness, satisfies the hunger of the human heart. Sin will never do that. Lies will never lead one into Truth. Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, dismantle the effects of sin, and to drive the kingdom of darkness away by His Light and Life. I Pray for all who have been deceived and for those who are working hand-in-hand with the deceiver to deceive a whole generation and subject culture to even more distortion and sorrow. Lord, have mercy!

 HE IS RISEN! IT IS FINISHED! After the Israelites had passed through the Red Sea by God opening the way for them to be saved, the whole of Pharoah's army, his horsemen and chariots pursued God's people into the opened way. Once they were all in, the waters flowed back into their place with suddenness and fury. Not one of the enemies survived. All perished in those waters. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, all that sin contained, the full measure of the rebellion of mankind for all time, all the wickedness that was ever in human hearts were absorbed into the Lamb of God as He died our death, received our just judgement from God for all time, taking all that sin and death contained. In Him, sin and death died once and for all. They were overwhelmed, covered and drowned in the sea of His precious blood, poured out for the sin of the whole world. Not one enemy remained alive, all were stripped of their power to hold us in slavery to sin any longer. All their weapons were confis...
 HIS POWER...HIS PROMISE Helping people walk in the Spirit the devotional below is seminal! The devotion below is today from Oswald Chambers. I makes me think of some I have known that have assumed that the Lord doesn’t want them empowered by the Holy Spirit or that He won’t manifest Himself in them because they have reasoned otherwise. Given ministry opportunities to have the Holy Spirit confirm the Word of God with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power, they rely on how they feel, their experience thus far and not on the reality that the will of God in mission and ministry is either done in the Holy Spirit’s Power or not at all. Our capacity to do what Jesus does has nothing to do with our imagined capacity, but upon the indwelling power of God through is. Now to Him who is able to do far above and beyond what we could ever imagine or think, by His power at work in us now, to Him be glory…   Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told the parable of the bags of gold as a warning ...
 CONVICTION When the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, He doesn't ask us to make it right. We can never add to what Jesus Christ has already done on the cross to deal with the totality of our sin. The Holy Spirit asks us to accept the truth, turn from sin and turn to the Lord. Then He will make it right. Remember Who our faith depends on from start to finish, that salvation is of the Lord alone. Laying aside every hindering weight and the sin that so easily trips us up (different for everyone), we are to run the race He has given us to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus. He is the One upon Whom our faith depends on from start to finish. He will never run out of eyesight any more that a good shepherd would go ahead of the sheep he was leading where they couldn't see to follow. Hebrews 12:1-2 "Surrounded then as we are by a great cloud of witness to the life of faith, let us strip off everything that hinders us, as well as the sin which dogs our feet, and let us r...
