Satan's Stupidity


Satan's main goal is to get people to join him in rebellion against God. This rebellion is commonly referred to as "sin". I like to call sin " Satan's stupidity". What Satan delights in doing is convincing mankind that evil is good and good is evil. He has a form of morality.Yes, Satan wants to teach people how to be good! He knows that all of mankind is eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil (except those who are eating from the Tree of Life) meaning all mankind is deciding on their own, apart from God, what is good and what is evil, meaning they have followed in Satan's footsteps by choosing to become gods without Christ as their head, submitted to Satan rather than Christ.

This deception Satan has foisted upon humanity, the falsehood that we can decide what is good and what is evil, is at it's worse when Satan is able to convince "Christians" that his version of morality, his righteousness, his set of moral standards, is godly while the standards found in Holy Scripture are false. Many, many churches today are indeed teaching "doctrines of devils" as the doctrines of God. Truth is ignored and worse, despised while falsehoods are presented as Truth. Only the Holy Spirit knows "all Truth" and only He can be relied on to teach us the Truth every time He speaks to us and every time He illuminates the written Word of God. Merely reading and knowing scripture is not enough for Satan himself knows the Word of God better than most of us and he will use God's own word to deceive us and lead us astray by twisting and perverting it's meaning. He even tried to get Jesus to sin by using the written Word, are we any less capable of being tempted by Satan to sin through the Word of God than Jesus?

An obvious (to those with ears to hear) example of Satan's version of morality is homosexuality. Though God's Word clearly condemns the practice of homosexuality, Satan convinces mankind that not only is this practice acceptable but also that it is good and that God himself approves of it. Never believe something is accepted by God if his Word condemns it and never condemn something that His Word accepts (this happens in many churches too).

So, the moral of this sermon is this - if you believe abortion is an acceptable practice for women to choose, if you believe it is acceptable for people to engage in homosexual activities, if you think it's ok to change your gender, if you believe all manner of evil actions and thoughts are good then your sense of right and wrong does not come from the God of the Holy Bible, it comes rather from Satan. Why join with Satan in his stupidity? Why choose to sin when you have another choice? Why not choose to follow and obey Jesus? Why not let His Holy Spirit inside you so he can teach you truth, what is good and what is evil in his sight? Don't end up dying and going to Hell because you chose to follow Satan and listened to his stupidity and joined with him in his rebellion against God, who, by the way, wants nothing but good for you, who loves you deeply and dearly and actually chose to die rather than live without you. Satan's stupidity is such a farce. Open your heart to Jesus now and ask him to teach you truth and show you the lies you've believed that you may have the eyes of your understanding opened that you may now walk in the light.

Most will not accept this message. Most will cling to the lie, will eat the wrong fruit, will continue to follow Satan because of foolish pride. Don't count yourself among them. Amen.

I've never known The Lord to fail us
and I never will.
Every moment of my brief life
has found Him faithful still.
No matter what the circumstance,
His love is consistent,
dependable, trustworthy.             These-
Describe my God who is Holy.
Not distant nor aloof,
in our distress He comforts us and sooths.
He's with us daily rain or shine,
our God is with us all of the time.
So when those bills begin to pile,
stop and praise Him for awhile.
Soon you'll see
the truth of my words -
You are well cared for
when you're cared for by The Lord.

Spit on the grass, not the sidewalk.
Listen more than you talk.
Slow down and enjoy each day.
Stop and smell a flower along the way.
Compliment others and give them praise.
Try to learn of and walk in God's ways.
He's less complicated than you may think.
He delights in simplicity.
Love Him and your neighbors and you'll do well,
and notice that perfect seashell.
And remember Him in your heart and thoughts,
and trust that you are sought.
And let your soul by Him be caught.
Then, when your breaths are through,
you'll hear Him saying this to you -
"Welcome home, dear one, 
I've prepared a place
full of My love and My grace
where you can forevermore gaze
upon My face. 
And most important to Me,
I can gaze upon yours for Eternity!"

Once you've done your praying
Now listen to what I'm saying
When you've made your request known
When you've laid it before His throne
Pause a moment, take a step back
You've given it to Him now relax
Be anxious for nothing - worry not
Just pause and reflect on what you've got -
A God who cares deeply for you
Who's aware of what you're going through
Who has heard the cry of your broken heart
Who is aware of your prayer before it starts
So now that you've prayed
Stand still in faith
and patiently wait
For He who began a good work in you
Will be faithful to follow through
to the end of the heart that loves Him
Faithfully
Stand still and witness for you will see
Just how awesome He is, how mighty
Only do not pray out of unbelief
Pray it once then give Him thanks
For what you're about to receive -
The answer to your prayer, miraculously...

Here's my two cents about the upcoming 2016 Presidential election - I hear the Lord urging me, during these last few days before the election, to draw aside to Him, to shut off the TV and the radio, to draw near to Him and Him alone...breath in the pure air of Heaven....not the atmosphere here so polluted with the words of man....get as close to Him as He will allow you to....shut out the world for a few days at least...we all need a good cleansing.....it's been a filthy election process....Amen

Should the veil of death lay as a shroud upon your soul,
should your sins bring an end to the life that God's bestowed,
should the lying vanities you've pursued leave you empty inside -
Remember when you're done
oh prodigal son
to make this your heart's cry -

"Create in me a clean heart
oh my God of brand new starts,
and renew a right spirit within me.
You are my soul's destiny, my key,
my deliverance from all that's unclean".

"Do not cast me away
from your presence, Lord,
I beg you this day,
I beseech you, I pray,
may I remain in your house, forevermore".

"Take not your Holy Spirit from me,
without whom I will perish for all eternity.
I need you now more than desparately.
Can you salvage the wreck of my soul
I've destroyed so foolishly?
I am without hope if you do not rescue me.......
