Lie and Accuse: The Rising Cultural Trend

Lie and Accuse: The Rising Cultural Trend                                           Capt. Kelly Durant

Jude 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

2. How many of you have ever had someone lie about you and then you got in trouble? Like in school (a real life scenario), some bully throws a paper airplane that hits the teacher in the back of the head, and then the bully yells, “Durant did it!” You are innocent but accused! And because everyone else in the class is afraid of the bully they all agree with him and point to me (you) and then no matter what you say to defend yourself, I (you) am the one punished for the sin of the other one!

You would think as adults we would have progressed past this type of infantile trickery of lying and accusing, but it is currently dominating the trend in our society! It is the trend that if a certain someone is to blame for something failing and falling apart, and when someone else points that fact out, then suddenly the exposed guilty one gets a whole group of people behind him or her to lie that it is the one exposing the failure that is at fault! This pattern repeats and repeats and unbelievably people swallow it!

This lying system of Satan has existed from the beginning. It is a system in which there are the ones deceiving and then there are the ones fooled by his deception and so consequently evil temporarily wins. After all Satan convinced 1/3 rd of the angels to rebel against God! Jesus said that the truth would ‘set us free’, well, sadly today, because people do not research what the truth is, because people are lazy and do not care to know the facts, they are complying with Satan’s system of accusing and condemning the wrong ones! But to comply with a lie makes you an accomplice and then eligible for the same punishment of the real guilty one!

3.  The reason deception wins so easily in vulnerable ones is because Satan has been working behind the scenes removing God’s word, the Bible, from schools, public places, and workplaces and why? Because it teaches and illuminates minds to possess the truth and see through lies. The Bible teaches abstracts and critical thinking skills. A liar cannot deceive you or me when the truth comes out to expose him. 

The Psalms and Proverbs teaches about the character of people and we must study them.

Think of it like this, a person who sees a magician for the first time may think that he really is miraculous and supernatural. But later, everyone tells him no, it is not real, only a quick movement of the hand, but he still refuses to believe that. Then someone brings in a book of tricks explaining how tricks are done by magicians. What happens next? The person who was stubborn in their belief about the magician must now either chose to look like a fool and keep singing the same old tune that no one believes that he is supernatural, or repent and admit that they were lacking in knowledge and truth to understand the moves and tricks.

The Bible tells us repeatedly to seek truth, wisdom, and knowledge and those that do, like you and me, do not get fooled. 2 John 1:7 “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist”.

4. Here is the factor, because God’s word is being removed from society, because it is mocked and hated, then there is no knowledge of knowing the truth about who God is and how He has dealt with people in past cultures. Without the Bible as a reference, then anyone can invent whatever lie they want to believe about God, spirituality, and how things operate in this fallen world. Bottom line is Satan does not want Jesus words of truth transforming lives!

To reflect on the last thought about the magician, what if I give them a

 book explaining how tricks are done, and then another person comes along and gives them a different book, one that exalts magicians as from a special secret society that has had superpowers for generations? What then? This is a classic example of the misinformation games of today!

So this person has to choose which book to believe. This is the confusion of today’s world: it is full of misinformation that contradicts God’s Word! Most all of the whole world is operating under the premise of a lie! Most world religions, practically all political powers, most populist movements seeking influence are representing false dichotomies! No earthly authority, social justice movement, or spirituality with the God being Materialism, Alla, Vishnu, or Buddha can enlighten the salvation and restoration of humanity. Only Jesus can do that! Luke 20:21 Then they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You say and teach rightly, and You do not show personal favoritism, but teach the way of God in truth”. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life!

5. Here is the deception, Satan disguises himself as an ‘angel of light’, one who appears good but on the inside, but the truth is He is evil, seeking destruction. 2 Corinthians 11:14 ‘And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.’

People who have simple minds, those who are not governed by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and prayer, fall victim to leaders and teachings which feed their pride. Carnal and psychopathic people, or ‘brute beasts’ as the Bible describes them, are taking the lead in our society and this is why we have such a hopeless world. Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.

Lies corrupt and destroy! They divide families and friends! 

There is a newly awakened pressure in this past decade to suppress the truth of God which exposes wickedness in high places. There are well-funded movements to silence the truth not allowing it in the universities, government offices, workplace, or basically anywhere. All of the recent protest groups alt-left, alt-right, antifa, are all employing violence, and why? Because they cannot win in a normal conversation and debate! These groups all lie appearing to be good like angels with a socially good cause on the surface but they actually represent a lost cause, an evil hypocritical oppressive enslaving power grab which many of the supporters cannot even see through. People are blind to evil! Judas was a part of the resistance to the Romans, an antifa zealot, but by his fruits we know what evil he did to Jesus! Was he really more righteous and justified? No! Never!

6. Aren’t you appalled by all the lies and violence happening in the world today? It is bad enough we as contributors to the good of the community have to deal with the destruction of natural causes, such as with floods and hurricanes without having to deal with the destruction of people coming along breaking, burning, and looting like the Vandals of the dark ages! These kinds of civil conflicts are not just here in the U.S., they are happening in many countries, and it is all designed by Satan to weaken everyone everywhere so in the end He can take over through the upcoming world leader, the Anti-Christ setting up his evil one-world government.

And why are these people wreaking havoc thinking they have a ‘right’ to make others pay for past sins that they are not even a part of? Because they are not reading the Bible which teaches to forgive and love your enemy: instead they are reading books and listening to speakers which are inciting them to do violence! Can you see the importance of the Bible now!

Anyone can download the handbooks of how to be a protester, you can read ‘the handbook for radicals’ and read that the ‘ends justifies the means’ but does violence, hate, and even murder accomplish a just cause? No! It only shifts the power from one group to another and the later group may be hundreds of times worse as we have discovered with communist take overs as in China, Russia, and Cuba. And in the Middle East they kill starting wars justifying it in the name of their religion which is broken into many parts, each one hating the other. Only Jesus can change hearts to just let it go and to start living with peace in your own mind and heart!

7. All of the swallowing of the lies and violence is all playing out as Jesus described. Matthew 24:10 ‘And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.’ Jesus also warned, John 16 “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. 3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.

So the final motive of Satan, with all his suppression of the Bible through his demons in power, through all of his lies and alternatives to God’s word, be it the, ‘Communist Manifesto’, or any other deceptive so called holy book, is to kill God’s people and dominate the world! We see his works of destruction on all the news channels daily being a result of his deception..

How are we going to fix it? By not being a part of it! Don’t let a family member, a friend, a boss, or anyone suck you into dedicating your time to go out and yell how much you hate someone, be it the president or an authority in society. After all it is God that allows authorities.

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

8. Do you feel inadequate lacking in discernment to know when you are being told a lie? I have felt that way many times and prayed this next verse! Here is the answer. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth! John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

The world cannot stand the truth. The truth is hated, therefore Jesus is hated! He said in John 14:17 “the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.” This verse explains how the people of the world are blind to truth and blind to how they are being deceived by lies.

9. Proverbs 19:20-21 “Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days. There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.” When a person wakes up and receives the truth, it is like a rebirth, a liberation, an enlightenment! I know this experience and feeling because it happened to me! It is real, “the truth will set you free”! Setting others free with the truth gives you an exhilarating feeling as well! Do you tell others of Jesus to free them and save their soul?

Spread the news that the news of the world is in grand part ‘fake news’ and it is a lie designed to subjugate you, the sheeple, (people who follow like sheep to the slaughter)! Only Jesus’ words with the Holy Spirit can give you the power to see through lies and deceptiveness of social causes. We do want justice, but with real power, Jesus’ power!

Let us pray that you can be more an instrument of God’s truth! Jesus exposed the deceivers, the liars, the Pharisees and hypocrites! It is true, part of our role is to expose false influencers as He did, to free the captives from oppression! Let your ‘war cry’ be heard in you circles.

Let’s get on with the fight for the right, the absolute truth, which is through Jesus’ salvation, liberation, and celestial retribution!

Youth: This World Offers Little, Choose God’s Wisdom

Youth: This World Offers Little, Choose God’s Wisdom     by Kelly Durant

Proverbs 1:8 My son, hear the instruction of your father,

And do not forsake the law of your mother;

9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head,

And chains about your neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice you,

Do not consent.

11 If they say, “Come with us,

Let us lie in wait to shed blood;

Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

2. The world has changed! Those of us who are older have seen all the advancements, but the younger generation who grow up in this world never knew what it was like before! They believe our world with 8-10 hours daily on the phone, ipad, or computer or TV is normal.

This younger generation is quite different from any one that has ever existed and we have the challenge to win them to the Lord! How do we teach kids that have been so entertained by fantastic imagery that having a normal conversation to them seems boring? Many of them have their minds more in the cyber-world than in the real world. Many play violent games full of murder sickening the mind!

The problem is so few young people ever get time with us, the older ones, to learn more about the world and how to survive, as they are off in some other world, busy at school, or alone in their rooms. It seems we may need to reach them through their devices, and we are using them more to teach God’s word, but personally I prefer a break from them after using them so much all the time. The eyes and neck get tired!

3. Here is our challenge and goal as parents, mentors, and friends of the young people in church: It is to get them to love Jesus, The Bible, and be dedicated to holy living! The young people here have no idea what all we know and what we have seen! Each of us must show them love, forgiveness, our cheerful spirit, and share our stories of how if they obey God, blessings will come their way and they will live blessed and at peace with God. We must teach them to obey the wisdom, as in the Proverbs. Each young person must decide to obey God’s word.

I have seen so many young people with great potential to apply their intellect and talents for good stop coming to church and then end up in trouble, in jail, in debt, divorced, and become spiritually and physically paralyzed by their situations of wrong choices and bad habits.

Young people, remember habits are like threads that become strings, then ropes and after 2 or 3 years of a bad habit, be it lying, being lazy, or being conflictive with your mouth, or being addicted to electronics or any substance, you end up a disaster that no one wants to be near! Selfish living is a sin killing us all.

4. It is hard to be young, we have all been there, because you think you know so much and that you are invincible, but it is all an ego illusion. Yes, your body is strong, your mind is sharp, but all of that just rapidly degenerates to hell if the God given talents and good qualities are not applied for God’s glory.

Young people, please, I beg you, decide every day to commit your ways to the Lord! Psalm 119:9 How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. 2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

I want all of you to know I pray for our youth! Do you, as adults pray for them? Young people, do you pray for each other? It is so important that they and all of us feel loved and useful. It is very important we show teach them all we can about God’s word and also help them to identify with the church as their family away from home.

5. I will confess to you I was a stubborn one when young. I had to go learn the hard way that nothing in this world satisfies; no sex, drugs, and rock n roll, can bring happiness! I tried everything to the point I was depressed and disillusioned with the life, the world, with religion, with politics, with everything!

I was disillusioned to discover how evil the world was, and how it was not the beautiful place I thought it should be. I saw how greed fueled wars, (I almost got drafted to go to Vietnam) and I had to learn how the lust and drugs markets were mafia controlled enterprises treating people horribly. I also learned the hard way that my drinking drugging buddies are no friends at all because later they stole guitars and other things from me! You can’t play with the fire of the sinful life without getting burned! I was a prodigal son, but thank God I got a chance to come back to Jesus!

I dedicated my all to Jesus at age 21, but I wish I would have done it at 14! It was at age 14 that I started getting rebellious. I want to tell you by experience, it is not worth it! Forget the world and it’s illusive, non-satisfying pleasures and live for Jesus! I have served Him for over 40 years and His mission to love, save, heal, and bring the good news to others is the best thing ever!

6. I want you to know I have learned to be patient after raising 5 kids. In the teenage years, they need us more than ever! Adults, pray for them! Young people, talk, speak up, trust someone older to be your friend to counsel and guide you so you don’t screw up in life and do something so wrong or so stupid that it takes years, maybe even the rest of your life, to recuperate from.

In the verses of today we hear wisdom that is around 3,000 years old! Let me read the words of Solomon, son of David, again. Proverbs 1:8 My son, hear the instruction of your father, And do not forsake the law of your mother;

9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.

11 If they say, “Come with us, Let us lie in wait to shed blood;

Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

It seems hard to imagine, but young hoodlums, gang members, and those who cruelly commit crimes are often young people recruiting young people and it has been this way since the beginning! Satan hunts the youth and catches the ignorant youth because they are ignorant of his ways.  Later in the chapter we read how sinners get caught by their own devices. 17 Surely, in vain the net is spread In the sight of any bird; 18 But they lie in wait for their own blood, They lurk secretly for their own lives. What evil you do to others will be what you reap!

7. Here is the sad part, those who will not adhere to God, who believe the lie taught in schools that God is just an invention of the minds of the weak, will one day fall and not find God when they need Him. Please obey God!

23 Turn at my rebuke; Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;

I will make my words known to you.

24 Because I have called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, (This is refereeing to the wisdom of God)

25 Because you disdained all my counsel, And would have none of my rebuke,

26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes,

27 When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

28 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;

They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.

So all of these people who do evil, will have to pay! After committing crimes, and getting caught, God cannot save someone from going to jail, or almost dying from an overdose. The implied here is people want to live doing evil and then when caught or in trouble they want God to just instantly save them out of the consequences, but it does not work that way. That is why we must always pray as Jesus taught, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”.

8. In life we are going to see some people that fail God and mess up big time, and we will also see others who go on to do great things! The good news is those youth who have grown up going to Sunday school and church, and have been involved in youth programs, camps, music, and sports usually do later decide to make better choices that put them on the path of being successful.

Those who seek God’s wisdom and intelligence early find Him, and He blesses them with an advantage over the common sinner people of the world. Listen to how this chapter ends: Provers 1:32 For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them;

33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.”

We really must pray for our youth! Most colleges now are recruiting grounds for causes from hell, like to be a member of the new violent group antifa. People never study history. I lived through something similar in the 60s, and we know how the Black Panthers ended up! Violence invites violence and the wages of sin is death!

9. So many lies and deceptive words get thrown at our young people, and it is all day long on the filtered selective messages they see on twitter, facebook, snapchat, and more. The ‘bots’ control it. If someone does good, it may filter out that message, but if someone has a sex change, it artificially makes it look like the whole world is interested. What lies the media pulls off to condition people to hate God and His wisdom!

I am sorry that our youth live under intimidation so that if they do not go with the flow of the world, with its evil godless, drug fueled, propagandized education they feel rejected and mocked. I want to strongly suggest that you and I reject the world! Jesus said: 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.

I love it when the world hates me! I have been cyber attacked by the godless liberals mocking me over Biblical stances, but do I care that these cruel people hate me? No! Because I would much rather be loved by Jesus and his people than to be accepted and used as a ‘useful idiot’ by these horrible murderous people.

Listen to the Proverbs! Escape those who mock you and try to win you their Satanic agendas.  33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.”
