Tune In: The Holy Spirit; Tune Out: The World’s Confusion

Tune In: The Holy Spirit; Tune Out: The World’s Confusion    Kelly Durant

 

Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

 

2. Have you ever made a wrong or bad choice and then later you could have kicked yourself for being so gullible and stupid? One that comes to my mind is when my wife and I decided in the 1990s to buy a Kirby vacuum cleaner from a friend of a neighbor. It was a time when our 4 kids were in high school and we really had zero money, but it was only $39.99 a month for 3 years!

 

That would be like $100 or more a month today! I grew up in the 1960s knowing it was a good brand and even though we could not afford it, somehow, we got convinced to buy it. So month after month for 3 years we suffered to find the money to pay for it. I now look upon this as something we did without prayer. All of us are vulnerable to make huge mistakes without prayer, without tuning into the Holy Spirit, and asking the Lord what to do about every decision in life.

 

Here is the problem, we are conditioned since are children by the media and the government schooling to just go along and accept whatever is presented to you whether it is fake or real, right or wrong, helpful or destructive! Subliminally we are conditioned to believe, ‘Resistance is futile’! People who want to make money from you, exploit you, control you, and gain advantage from your naivety are aggressively, intimidatingly, and harmfully trying to make you be their next victim. But, if you have God’s Holy Spirit, you will have a chance to escape! This involves what happens to your body and mind, and your soul’s destiny, whether it will be on the path to heaven or to hell!

 

3. The world’s people and countries were on edge from the recent virus, were they not? Now over Ukraine and China… we could have a world war! What happens to people under stress? When a person is in confusion from contradictory messages, under duress from anguish not knowing how to keep on surviving, when the pressure has produced a breaking point, what occurs? That person, you or me, make irrational decisions; these are usually decisions that will provoke our own harm and self-destruction! We are in dangerous times, and we need the Holy Spirit guidance like never before! It comes by prayer and Bible study! Plus, ‘walking in the counsel of the Godly’ helps a lot! (Read Psalm 1)

 

Just like how my wife and I were in the predicament of being pressured by a salesman that you must sign now, you must commit now, this is the only opportunity, tomorrow we can’t offer this deal ever again, we, as weak humans, not guided by God in all our decisions, cave to the bullying of the people of the world who just won’t go away until they have pocketed you and got you under their thumb! A vacuum cleaner is a simple thing, but the decisions about to be made right now in the near future will have a repercussive affect, not just the destiny of our minds and bodies, but of our souls! 

 

Here is a warning from God which applies to all people who do not obey His righteous statutes, and remember how Pharaoh was punished! Deuteronomy 28:20 “The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me.”

 

4. History proves to us time and again that when certain people or a previously God respecting nation stops obeying God, when the people become prideful, arrogant and God defiant and produce rat on your neighbor betrayal world, a rat eat rat environment, the Lord allows them to fall under the curse of a self-destructive punishment. When you sew to the wind, you reap the whirlwind! Hosea 8:7.

 

One of the curses is the confusion of not being able to distinguish right from wrong, male from female, Satanic form Godly, or healthy from unhealthy. The disobedient to God seem to always fall under a destruction that comes from the collective wickedness of the entire murderous, exploitive, Satanic system governing around the world from ‘high places’. (Eph. 6) 

 

We can talk all day about where a virus originated, about whether it is man-made or animal transmitted but none of it matters if there is not a resolve on how to live Godly so that God blesses each of us with His protection of health! Exodus 15:26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” Deuteronomy 7:15 And the Lord will take away from you all sickness and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known but will lay them on all those who hate you.

 

5. You and I will be faced with some life altering decisions in the very near future. You will be pressured to cave and be silent to the new draconian totalitarian ‘new normal’ which means that you will be tracked and spied upon by different means, one being apps on your iphone, mandated for your own good, to control the spread of a plague. And now there are previously prestigious hospitals training people on how to hunt down everyone you have ever met up with because you had the potential to be a spreader of the virus. The so called ‘protective services’ can take your kids away, and you will be forced into a confinement camp. It happened in Australia and several countries! Doesn’t this bring Nazism to mind?! Christians had better toughen up and be Spirit led over all that is happening!

 

The world’s contradictory confusion has produced these results: 

You must self-quarantine whenever the media experts say to.

You must accept being spied on you for your own good.

You must accept being stripped of travel and other privileges.

You must accept a one world technocratic government to control people.

 

Our world’s situation really looks like a nightmarish sci-fi movie, does it not? It has been Satan’s dream for centuries to psych people with fear to the point they will accept Him and his ‘beast control system’ for humanity’s salvation. Some Christians do see through his recent deceptions and tricks but those without God’s Holy Spirit are infected with the virus of the ‘world’s spirit’ and these are the new victims, the useful idiots, the fearful ones Satan uses to subdue all resistors to his ‘new world order’. Revelation 21:8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 

6. We all desperately need the Holy Spirit for guidance and discernment!  Luke 11:13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” Do you want to ask God for His Holy Spirit right now? You should, let’s pause and ask Him…(prayer)

 

There are many verses on the Holy Spirit, but I just want you to know that, ‘the Spirit will guide you into all truth’, it will ‘comfort you’ when in any trouble, and it will ‘give you power’ to be a testimony for Jesus. I can say that at one time when young I was very afraid of being looked upon as a fanatical church idiot. I was prideful and wanted to fit in with the vain false crowd of the world and now I ask myself, how could I have been so dumb and deceived to think those unloving, vain stupid people were cool? They never would have accepted me, an ordinary Joe! The people of the world are always too busy stepping on heads to climb the ladder of success to care what happens to you or me! If you want to find authentic loving caring people, it will only be within the bands of a few Christians.

 

The Holy Spirit power is what solves all our spiritual needs! One of the greatest needs right now is the discernment of what is truth and what is not. Should you trust your health, your financial income, and your future by doing what certain authorities with horrible abusive records say to do? Unless the person speaking is a Christian and has good fruits in his past, then you should not listen, and you should do the opposite of what is suggested. Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

 

7. It is a big challenge to let the Holy Spirit rewire your habits and way of thinking. Almost everyone I know are so proud they can never accept that I, or anyone, could ever offer them any good advice. It is a sad reality but too many Christians have never asked God to fill them with His Holy Spirit, to smash and break them, like the clay in the hands of the potter, to be remade into the image of Jesus. Ask God today to remake you, rewire you, and to most of all not let you do any decision without His Holy Spirit ‘s guidance!

 

Jude 1:10 But these (the people of the world without God’s Spirit) speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.

 

Today we are appalled at how so many people make irrational decisions, like a dumb animal, and like a parrot, they repeat to their friends and family the enslaving loathsome messages of the world that all must submit to the ‘new’ system?! And those not ‘with the program’ get censured and persecuted! John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 

 

8. Better it is to be loved by God and saved for eternity than to be loved by the world’s debauched perverts who only want to use you and then throw you away like garbage! Better it is to let God lead you than the old serpent Satan who only offers pleasures and wealth for a short time before he drags you into the lake of fire and punishment reserved for the unrighteous.

 

Luke:11:9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

 

These verses describe exactly what is happening today. The masses of people are living in uncertainty and confusion, they are hungry for love, for a comforting peace, for truth, for reality, and what does the world offer them? A cold stone of nothing! Solutions that are fake and a scam from the world’s evil rich serpent worshipping bloodlines! Solutions from the nation of the flying serpent that hates God and jails and kills Christians at will! Which do you want, the serpent’s spirit, or the Holy Spirit?

 

9. We are in desperate times! Christians with the Holy Spirit saw the recent reality during the ‘shut down’, liquor stores were open, abortion clinics were open, the rich circulated as they pleased while ‘we the people’ were being told that the churches must remain closed and that everyone must stay at home and that ‘for our own good’?! We knew a totalitarian draconian ‘new world order’ was coming but did we ever imagine that it would be implemented with such velocity? And again it will come, we only went through a trial run.

 

So while you are alone, do you pray and experience God’s presence? He speaks into your mind His Word, His comfort, and His peace. When I pray or write sermons verses come into my mind, and that is God’s Spirit. Every Christian needs to ask God for this kind of an experience! John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 

The only alternative to being guided by God’s Spirit is to be guided by your own prideful self which is as the confusing serpent’s spirit of the world! Christians, please get serious with God and read His Word as never before! Don’t be ignorant to deceptive ones who will entrap you for their own benefit! Only the strong survive, that is the ones strong in Jesus! We can be empowered by something far greater than ourselves, and that is with the Holy Spirit! Ask for it and believe, and you will understand, speak, and act in the way God wants you to. God’s Spirit is beyond words! It’s a fire that warms your soul and shines a light for all to see!
