Live not the example of unbelief—wrong doing, disobedience: hating God, loving the enemy of souls, making excuses for sin, speaking to justify sin, etcetera.
If we believe Jesus, we are abiding in Him and His word is abiding in us, He is abiding in us—His Holy Spirit is in us: We live under God’s government. God has a way of living: holy, righteous, godly, right doing—hating sin, hating iniquity, hating transgression, hating evil, hating idolatry in every form shape and fashion; hating unrighteousness, hating ungodliness, hating unholiness, hating wickedness, hating disobedience, hating gossip, hating resentment, hating tale bearing, hating anger, hating killing, hating murder, hating unforgiveness, hating idleness, hating talking too much; hating idle words, hating hypocrisy, hating double-mindedness, etcetera.
One who is condemned is first condemned of themselves. They proceed in placing blame, speaking to receive sympathy but that sympathy, feeling sorry for—is based on one’s own struggles with giving into the temptations of Satan—giving into temptation is about self satisfying self.
Self is not dead. Self is not by faith dying daily (everyday moment by moment). These souls professed and proclaimed, did lip service—they were speaking God but He was not in them—These souls did not, do not count the cost before committing to building the house.
These souls instead of going to God to examine self—they speak to justify why this or that, or justifying why not this or that; the majority of the time it is because of someone else why the said or did something or because of something, but they do not look at themselves, they don’t take responsibility for their own choices.
The Spirit of God does not work like that. That is the spirit of manipulation, deceit, condemnation, self-indulgence, intemperance, self-righteousness, “I’m do what I want to do, but…” making their choices, their words, their actions about someone else as to why they make the choices they do—the very character of Satan—narcissism.
Satan does what people call good, nice: he gives things like cars, money, house, clothes, raises, so-called food, etcetera. Satan speaks some so-called nice, seemingly sweet kind lovely words: But they are truth and error mingled. Without the discernment of God, souls cannot distinguish, cannot determine, cannot discern, cannot not know what is Truth from what is error, lies, deceitful; the Spirit of God from devils, from unclean spirits, from demons.
Many of God’s people are being distracted by Satan through his many tactics to keep God’s people from living the gospel of Jesus enduring unto the end being saved: Living Christ righteousness by the power of the Holy Spirit by our faith—being delivered from sin. If Satan can keep us distracted, then that is the soul yielding to the enemy’s temptations. The more souls yield, giving into Satan—the more power is given Satan over them to rule them to control their thoughts, words, and actions.
The Word of God is very clear. The Word speaks hard sayings, nevertheless they are true: The truth is still the Truth whether we accept, receive, live it by faith choice or, not.
Let us not give in to Satan, to devils by contemplating upon thoughts they plant, or by their tactics to gain entrance into and control of our minds.
Our mind is where only the Godhead is to dwell through the Holy Spirit.
Let us keep the Word ever before us, measure first self by the Word, as we discern whether something and, or someone is of God. If they are not, let us pray to God in Jesus name speaking and claiming life on them. Let us not join in giving the work of Satan any attention. And let us not make excuses for sin, nor make light of sin because of letting the emotions rule, lower passions rule instead of the mind of Christ that is to be in us.
God bless us.
