Pray for Discernment: Fight
The Confusion Kelly Durant
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and
light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
1
Corinthians 14:33
For God is not the author
of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
2. How
many of you have ever been confused? Your driving around and you miss the expressway
exit and get off late ending up in a neighbor where gangs of people on the
street corners staring at you as you drive by? You don’t dare ask directions! You
then go in circles 30 minutes until you finally find your way out of that hood!
Has it ever happened to you?
I
think all of us at some time or another have been confused, confused by unclear
directions, confused by algebra in school, or confused by people we have met
who claim to live by a certain beliefs which proclaim friendship or peace yet
their actions indicate that they do not practice these in real life. Today the biggest
double standard confusing scenario is this: A person loving and defending certain
groups of people (who may have a horrendous record) who demand that no discrimination
be taken against them while at the same time labeling others who disagree with
them as persons to hate and attack! Hypocrites today are getting away with
coning the average person because of the confusion of what is good and what is
evil! What’s not helping is that most current civil laws are man’s laws, and
are not God’s laws, and this contradiction is what is provoking a massive great
confusion. Out of this confusion arises frustration and aggression causing
insecurity, self-righteousness, hypocrisy and pride. Consequently, evil invites
its own self-destruction when exposed how hypocritical it is!
Confusion
of logical thought, of values, of correct or faulty science is dominating the entire
world today! Also to some degree there is some possible confusion in your own
mind on a few subject matters as well! It is like that quote that says, ‘Most
people are like cement, all mixed up and permanently set.’ It sometimes takes
years for you and others to sort out truth and fact from deception and lies and
all of us will only be able to if we know God’s Word, live in holiness and
obedience, and having the Holy Spirit active daily. Considering we are
intelligent people using the brain God gave us, we should be obsessed with
discerning what is the absolute truths of God filtered through our purified and
transformed mind shunning the fallacies of the world’s current indoctrinations.
3. Hypocritical
double standard Satanic people have always been the accusers of the saints and the
haters of God and His people because they practice sin and they can only view everything
upside down through a cloudy biased filter. These people always find fault and
harassingly accuse the sincere righteous people of God in order to draw the
attention away from their own filthy selves.
Because
they will not accept truth or facts unless they repent, with these types of
confused sinners you will never win in an argument. Because black is white to
them, you end up ‘damned if you do, or damned if you don’t’ concerning any discussion
on any subject matter. They want to be the ones on top by aggression, by
emotion, and by contradiction instead of being open to logic, righteousness,
and God’s statutes to rule.
These
precocious followers of trends, created by evil social engineers, persecute
God’s people as they always have because they war against the truth and against
the exposure of the consequences of their evils! God is holy, which is
synonymous to righteous, integral, and truthful, and before Him, no liar,
hypocrite, or deceiver will stand: He is a “consuming fire”. Pray to spot these
types immediately!
4. People
with holy, God-like characteristics will always be hated by contaminated people
who do not make the grade and they always want to destroy the righteous one(s).
This battle started from the beginning when jealous Cain killed Abel over the
fact that he was sincere and righteous while Cain was a worship-less, heartless,
hater of God. With God there are no alternatives to being in His light, truth, and
obedience; you must choose in this life to love Him and do His will, or by
default as a fallen creature you will hate Him.
Why do I bring this up at this time? Because
we just survived a horrendous propaganda year (2016) of being exposed to repeated
lies, deception, and sabotage by the formerly somewhat trusted news outlets,
government sources, and misinformed friends.
So now we can expect that this relentless lying propaganda machine will
continue on with even more hatred and fury as this is described as one of the
end-time occurrences.
‘And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might
cause her to be carried away of the flood’.
Water we know as the Word, Jesus is the water of life (John 4) but
this flood of water is symbolic of words from Satan’s mouth, which are
deceitful lies, designed to destroy the Christian church (the woman). But notice
it is the world that swallows the lies, not those of the true church of God!
5. The misinformation outlets proven to be paid
for by mega billionaires or government sources are the current day ‘rulers of
darkness’ (Eph. 6) and they are not letting up in their barrage of attacks on
good Christian values. I am referring to attacks not just in this nation but in
all nations! (Psalms 2)
It seems we are pressured daily to choose if
we are on God’s side of truth or you are not! People attending churches should
be able to discern God’s right from Satan’s wrong but that’s not always the
case. People who support anti-Biblical values are either uninformed,
misinformed, or intentionally rebellious to God’s statues in His Word!
The ones confused in what is right or wrong
are in effect Satanic because he is the ‘author of confusion’. 1Corinthians 14:33
‘For God is not the author of
confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.’
Too
many confused people today belligerently push their ungodly convictions with
passion and vigor. Certain stances are never justified with God and they do not
stand when debated as logical arguments either as history proves healthy long
lasting societies always maintain high standards of respect for all, especially
for the weak. Hitler, Stalin, and all despots always killed the defenseless weak
ones of society (Darwinism). Today people will insist on arguing apples to
oranges with you and never apples to apples so in effect they justify the
practice of evil!
6. The confusion of what is right or wrong we
are experiencing today is nothing new but an old trick of Satan himself. It
reveals how Biblically illiterate and disconnected from God’s holiness our
society has become. When Jesus addressed those who were propagators of destructive
enslaving religious and political lies, He attacked them and exposed them for
what they were, hypocrites, murderers, and liars! And they had a hand in
getting Him killed!
Take note that the false religious leaders
were more obsessed with getting rid of Jesus than the despotic governors of
Rome. Government dictators just want to have power so they subdue subjects defenseless
into poverty reaping tax collections, to support their luxurious lifestyle; while
religious radicals feverously lust for absolute power exploiting loyalty to the
point of total heart and mind control! Lying envious, power hungry hypocrites
have been around since the first lessons in Genesis. Jesus confronted these types of manipulative,
lying cruel people as in:
John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to
carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth,
for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for
he is a liar and the father of lies.
7. We are starting a new year and
maybe it will be a last opportunity to set things right in our own hearts with
God. Let’s start off afresh how Jesus did it with this in mind, Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the
Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and
release from darkness for the prisoners, (release from the dark manipulations
that lies create)
2: to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
There are many evil things
happening and Christians should stop being silent when facing those who
propagate lies, false narratives, confusion, and evil! Why? Because Jesus
confronted them! He came to free those captive by lies and evil manipulations!
We must speak the truth in love
because the voices of evil have been taking over and confusing mega millions of
people for the several decades! The youth, in particular, are being subjected
to liars, hypocrites, and evil through our corrupted colleges, liberal internet
sites, and evil governing systems.
8. The misinformation of fake news
in the media and on the internet, is spinning out of control as never seen
before. The false narratives, bias, hypocrisy, and subliminal selection of what’s
good and what’s bad is blatantly misleading, false and deceptive and needs to
get exposed. It is backfiring as according to several polls up to 70%-90% of
Americans do not trust major news sources anymore!
Satan’s exposure as a liar means
he is hanging himself by his own rope but he doesn’t even care as long as he
gets that average of 33% to follow Him and not God. Satan is at war with God to
deceive and steal souls. Revelation 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars
of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:
And aren’t you amazed at how seemingly intelligent people swallow all
the lies! Too many influential people today are promoting evil as good and good
as evil with a brain-washed bigoted brain that prejudicially, selectively judges
by their own ignorant ideas of what is right or wrong.
9. It’s the “don’t judge me”, (but I can condemn you!) cheap
defense these deceivers argue never allowing Biblical values on the table! It’s
so crassly ironic that these people accuse others of being bigots! How have we
remained so silent to allow such conditioning so that these perverse minds, judging
by personal convenience, justify their own sins? And that disregarding the
consequences of the damage inflicted on others?
Fallacy from evil sources must be countered.
And in all churches there are always a few confused members who insist
on these worldly dichotomies taking precedence because they live preprogramed and
propagandized conformed to the world. Those holding worldly values are not fully
converted Christians; they deceive their own selves. If this is due to ignorance
we can deal with it, but belligerence and rebellion is unacceptable in any
fellowship! Tragically some entire denominations have compromised Biblical
convictions!
Jude 1:4 For
certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[b]
long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who
pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus
Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. The Word of God identifies some people as blatant
hypocrites having no shame who are un-discerning and un-reasonable. They are as
fools blindly following the blind and numb to the ways of God. Satan laughs at
his own dubbed followers! But God and His people are perpetually angry at the hypocrisy,
injustice, and lies of the evil people because their oppression provokes great
suffering.
10. Satan
and his demons in people’s heads have always confused people getting them to accuse
one another in support of ideals and self-interests that lead up to division,
hate, violence. These lies even often lead to up to war and mass murdering! The
demonizing of another group has always been his pattern for destruction through
deceivers such as in the case of Hitler, Lenin, and Mao and countless others. Religious
radicals are a favorite tool of Satan as well.
Satan
always creates evil systems so that if one opposes and exposes the evil as
evil, then that discerning one gets labeled as ‘evil’ themselves and the price
is imprisonment or death for upholding good and Godly values of righteousness. But
evil is evil, good is good, and there is no debate! The just moral laws of God
from before the time of the flood of Noah have always been disrespected.
What
we are experiencing today, and have always faced, are evil haters getting away
with calling the good people evil and the evil people good. It is up to the
people of God to remind these accusers that they will face the truth and
judgement for the consequences for their horrendous evil! Do you recall John
the Baptist called out Herod for stealing his brother’s wife, and his wife then
asked for his head on a silver platter? People who have their evil exposed are
the most vengeful that exist! Woe to their soul when they face God!
11. Evil
people never have good fruit to show for their works. And they have an endless
obsession to accuse the good righteous standard bearers of being despicable and
deplorable for resisting their evil scheming agendas. How sad it is that we see
that the uninformed or corrupted individuals just accept the words of evil ones
at face value and then they believe them.
Some
of the general populous deceived by the lies of the world include Christians and
this is because they are living without the Holy Spirit or a connection to God!
For righteous judgment, a Christian must factor in the evil that the accusers
are carrying out while noticing that the ones accused are not actually proved guilty
as charged. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Why are people
conforming to hearing only one side of the coin? Wake up, don’t be manipulated!
Today, from institutions and governments from
the top down, we the people are expected to just condemn and ostracize another whom
they label as bad and accept as good evil ones they label as good. Just because
a certain news agency, government source, or religion says you must think a
certain way and obey them does not mean that you or I should just swallow it. This
ignorance is paving the way for despotism! Remember hell is full of Satanically
inspired cruel dictators!
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said,
We ought to obey God rather than men.
12. Most
people are not as stupid as the rulers of darkness assume to just accept their
evil, yet more and more many people are being deceived as Jesus said that near
the end of days that ‘evil seducers will grow worse and worse’. (Matt 24). It
seems that those deceived by some belief become obsessed and possessed with a
desire to reel in others to their cause condemned by God. But they are as a man
stuck in quicksand grabbing onto anyone so that they don’t go down alone!
So what are we to do? Every Christian around
the world should be praying for discernment from the Holy Spirit in order to
survive this new deep level of information confusion! So ask yourself, how much
could I be confused on matters? To know
the truth and to have wisdom we must study God’s word daily and ask discerning
wisdom of God. James 1:5 ‘If any of you
lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.’ We must pray and mediate on all that happens in our
family, church, community, and nation passing it through God’s filter of the
Word in order to answer those that ask an answer from us. He reveals truth to
those who seek it.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth,
is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew
you things to come.
13.
The only real way to help yourself or another to know how to interpret the events
of today is to have the Holy Spirit active daily teaching you right from wrong
as you study the Holy Scriptures in the Bible. Ask yourself, what have I
learned that is good or bad about myself this past year? Never praise yourself as
you may think your works are good with God but it not be true. Has the Spirit
revealed to you where you may have flawed in your worldly thinking and what are
your bad habits? Tell me, what was the last thing you felt conviction by when
you chose unwisely? I have had God correct me many times over certain wrongs I
have done! I have no confusion over right and wrong, thanks to the repeated
study of God’s word!
Let
God correct your unrefined mind and ways so that you then enter into the light
of truth changing yourself into Jesus ways, full of grace and truth! if you
never change then you become a fool “ever learning and not gaining the
knowledge of God’.
Ephesians 4: 17 This I say
therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other
Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being
alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because
of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves
over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
14. The people of the world are lost in all
the confusion of their own minds! Only God can transform a heart and a mind to
think like His and do things as He did! If you as a Christian are not on this
road, then get on it before it is too late!
Romans 1: I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable
service.
2 And be not
conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ask God to remove confusion from your
life! Ask Jesus to give you discernment from the Holy Spirit to decipher right
from wrong when you are disturbed by the cloudiness in your own mind and heart,
by some un-clarity in the church, or by in the messages coming out of the news medias
concerning leaders or the nation. We are the light of the world and we must
shine our light on the deceptions of Satan so that our God of righteousness
wins and conquers the earth! Evil loses
to Jesus in the final battle of the end so keep up the good fight of faith for the
truth in Jesus! He will reign forever and ever!
