Cherish Only the Good Memories

Our memories are one of the greatest blessings from our Creator. It is a tremendous blessing to learn many beautiful things and store that information in our memories. It is a miracle to recall most of this information in perfect sequential order for the remainder of our lives. God has also given us the unique ability to memorize vast amounts of information to perform our jobs, to create, and to remember various tasks that are essential for our survival. Memories are also crucial for our social interactions with others and for building personal relationships. We were given commandments to memorize for the building of a community with others and a proper relationship with our God. We were given memories to cherish all that our Creator has done for us in the past and all that He plans to do for us in the future. Without memories, we would be lost in a cave of despair and robbed of the very essence of what life means. Without memories, we could never cherish the many good memories from times past. Without memories, we would grow stagnant, unable to learn and retain needed information from our Creator. Without memories, it would only be a tragic existence forgetting immediately the joy and peace just encountered.

Yes, memories are a beautiful part of life. While some can cherish beautiful memories, many others in the world are inundated with painful memories. Their painful memories or bad memories can cause a multitude of problems. These memories can surface at any time for no apparent reason. We have all experienced these sudden reoccurrences even if they only lasted a short duration. If these reoccurring memories are not dealt with properly then they can cause devastating problems that will affect people for the rest of their lives. The most common memory to hold onto for many years or the rest of your life is the memory of being hurt. The hurt from others can take on many different sizes and shapes where a seemingly small hurt or crisis can be overwhelmingly difficult to bear. This hurt from others could be a misinterpreted glance from another or it could be the horrible pain of being physically or psychologically abused. Either way, the pain is real and gets tremendously worse if it’s digested and agonized over for any length of time. The longer it’s agonized over, the greater the pain increases. The sooner this bad memory is dealt with the quicker an individual will be on the road to recovery.

There is another common bad or painful memory that must be dealt with immediately. This memory is similar to the one that we just discussed, except this hurt does not come from another person. The hurt comes from yourself. Yes, humans are quite capable of hurting themselves, thus creating a lasting memory. This too comes in various sizes and shapes. It could be something as small as making an innocent mistake while speaking to others or it could be falling in with the wrong crowd and doing horrible things that are difficult to imagine. Believe me, there are many different ways that a person can seemingly hurt themselves. No matter how large or how small, if the bad memories are not dealt with properly, then there could be devastating problems. Just as before, the sooner this bad memory is dealt with the quicker the individual will be on the road to recovery. Before we look at the biblical solution to these multiple problems relating to our memory, let me say a word about what will not help. Group therapy of calling out your hurtful or bad memories multiple times to others will only exasperate the problem making it far worse by giving you the liberty to keep bringing it up to your mind again and again.

Unforgiveness is the problem that’s creating all of these bad memories. The good news is there is a biblical solution for unforgiveness. Although forgiving and forgetting is probably one of the most difficult things for humanity to do, it’s not impossible. God has given His children both the ability and the motivation to forgive. Furthermore, as we shall see, truly forgiving will also lead to forgetting the hurt caused by yourself or others. So, what is our motivation to forgive? The Bible says, “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 6:15). This is tremendous motivation because the unforgiven will be cut off from all of God’s blessings and His protection until they have truly forgiven others. On the other hand, if we truly forgive by following the biblical principles below, then we will continue to receive all the blessings needed to overcome the hurt caused by others or the hurt caused by ourselves.  Now let’s look at the three principles of forgiveness, which will help us to forget the hurt. Dear friends, to truly forgive is to forget, allowing it to completely disappear from our memories.

So, let’s now look at the three principles of forgiveness if you truly want to forgive and forget the hurt. The first principle of forgiveness is to never bring the hurt or trespass up again to the offending party, which always keeps the trespass alive and well. We have the same tendency to bring up the past to ourselves when we have acted foolishly by beating ourselves up, allowing unforgiveness to flourish. The second principle of forgiveness is to never share the trespass with others (unless you’re in danger). Most everyone wants sympathy from others when they have been mistreated or wronged in some way. It’s part of our human nature. So, to truly forgive another we must not pass it around to others, which keeps the offense alive. The final, and most difficult principle is to not dwell on being hurt by others or by yourself. We must immediately cast it out – stop thinking about it. Although this third principle may seem impossible because the hurt keeps coming back again and again, it’s not, if we truly forgive and trust God’s loving providence to render the appropriate judgment leaving it completely in His hands. Following these three principles of forgiveness will truly help us to forgive and forget the hurt caused by others or by ourselves, following the Lord’s own example, who in Jeremiah 31:34 says, “For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” There is great power in forgiveness to bring total healing to our memories. Let me stress going forward, that the moment that you are hurt by others or by yourself, then you must forgive immediately seventy times seven, an infinite number of times (Matthew 18:21-22).

There is one more bad memory that people dwell on that is paralyzing a large part of humanity. This memory is not caused by others or even by oneself. This bad memory is typically caused by unforeseen circumstances outside of their control. Unfortunately, these bad memories will grow worse as we fast approach the end. These bad memories are caused by the effects of war, a poor economy, Global Warming, diseases, and pandemics. These bad memories will become so bad among the general population that it will cause many to lash out in unchecked lawlessness, commit suicide, or attempt to withdraw from reality altogether in some kind of Metaverse. This most devastating effect on the mental or psychological well-being of humanity is the constant recall of bad memories, dwelling on the memory for hours, days, and even years. I could simply tell the one constantly entertaining the bad memory to simply stop and cast it out, but it’s not that simple. We must do more. We must learn to trust in God’s loving providence. Trusting in God’s loving providence believes that He does nothing by accident, nor does He allow anything to happen without a path of escape, the wisdom, and power to overcome, or a valuable lesson that must be learned for our continued spiritual growth. Furthermore, if we had eyes to see we can often witness the miracle of God turning something bad into something amazingly good, truly a good memory to be cherished. Let’s learn to trust in God’s loving providence.

Oh, what joy it is to be finally set free from the bondage of our past mistakes or from being hurt by others. Yes, we have all been hurt by unforeseen circumstances, by others, or even by ourselves. Thank God, we have learned the power of true forgiveness that leads to total forgetfulness. Thank God we have learned how to trust in God’s loving providence. We have learned to cherish only good memories. Once the bad memories are gone through forgiveness and trust in God it’s like putting on the wings of eagles and flying to the utmost heights of heavenly bliss. It’s never too late to forgive and forget. For those who are not in Christ, it will be a most difficult journey, so I implore you to ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of your sins and make you into a new creation, where old things, and painful memories, will truly pass away (II Corinthians 5:17). As a new person in Christ who is no longer burdened by the past, then you are free to add to your memories some of the greatest miracles this side of heaven. There is not a day that goes by when we don’t recognize the beauty and grandeur of our new life in Christ. Every day is another miracle full of abounding joy and a peace that truly defies understanding. Every day is feeling the warmth of His love enveloping us like a warm blanket on a cold night. Every day we learn how to quickly forgive and how to love others as Christ has loved us. We have learned how to trust in His loving providence and cherish only good memories. Dear children, cherish only the good memories.

The Gospel Presentation

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, which explains the many difficulties that you are currently facing in your life. Well, I have good news, God has solved that problem by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was born of a virgin to show us the way to a beautiful new life in Christ. God has dealt with all of our sins past, present, and future by having His son pay the debt for our sins. Jesus Christ willingly went to the Cross in our stead by allowing all of the world’s sins to be placed upon Him as a sacrificial Lamb. As Christ hung on the Cross, the wrath of God was poured out on Him to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was buried for three days. On the third day, Christ arose from death to life everlasting. The good news is if we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then we will be forgiven for all of our sins and receive the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead us into all truth helping us in the transformation process of putting off the old life, allowing the old sin nature to die with Christ, and then putting on our new life in Christ by being raised with Christ to everlasting life. You can accept Christ today by confessing your sins to Him through a simple prayer asking Him to forgive you and make you into a new creation filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have done that, then you have just begun the greatest journey of your life that leads to heaven and eternal life. Welcome to the Kingdom.

The World is Being Programmed

2 Comments

Listen to the blog article by clicking the player above.

People in the last days will be conformed to the world by being programmed just as a computer is programmed to complete all its assigned tasks. This will make it extremely difficult for humanity to escape their programming once programmed by the world. Once programmed, which is Satan’s design, you will not know what God has planned for your life. When a computer is programmed it can complete scheduled tasks with or without intervention. It can perform any new task programmed. Although the original programming language must be initially integrated appropriately, there will always be specific upgrades to the program filling up all the needs and parameters of the computer system. So, how does all this apply to humanity? How does the world program humanity to follow the path established by the powers of darkness? It works the same way where a program must be written in a language that the computer understands. Although the powers of darkness are limited in both power and access to humanity; it can still tempt humanity to think thoughts, dwell on thoughts, and fulfill the desires of the flesh. This is enough to program humanity causing them to think and behave in a way contrary to God’s original design. It’s enough to motivate all of humanity to fall in line to fulfill the desires of Satan and his powers of darkness.

Let’s look briefly at how this has progressively taken place since the 1950’s. We will look at those technological advancements that have robbed humanity of their time, then in time have conditioned their behavior, which will keep them isolated and kept essentially into their own imaginative world under total control.  It started with the Television drawing the family unit to sit for hours learning as they were being entertained, then tremendously new avenues were opened with the internet and the cellphone leading humanity to experience things globally from news media to social media. Step by step humanity was not only being entertained and taught, but more of their time was being consumed as they were being led into a new world of delusional thinking orchestrated by the devil, believing that their participation in the world made a difference, that their lives were being enriched. In reality, they were becoming more like the world day by day. From morning till night, everyone started embracing their changing technology allowing it to draw them ever deeper into worldliness and further away from God’s original design for humanity. Humanity could no longer see the beauty of the created order specifically designed for humanity but was drawn deeper into a different world designed and programmed by the powers of darkness. They are convinced by Satan that this will be the golden age for humanity. So, how far will this programming from the world initiated by Satan go?

The more humanity gets lost in the matrix of what technology is doing for humanity, the more they are blinded to the reality of what is happening. Humanity is being programmed. They are being programmed to live life without God believing that they can bring forth a golden age that allows the integration of technology with humanity, which will solve all of humanity’s problems. We have all seen the advancements in robotics and Artificial General Intelligence. We have witnessed the use of robotics and AI in surgical procedures. We have already witnessed the integration of technology into our bodies to improve our ability to think and complete tasks. This will be fully accepted by humanity because they have been programmed to accept psychology to solve all of their emotional and psychological problems for decades, no longer trusting in God exclusively to give them everything they need for life and godliness (II Peter 1:3-4). By relying now on technology to give us everything we need for life, it will allow Satan to continue his programming unabated. Satan is creating a new world through technology that will captivate all of humanity. This is an imaginative world that originates in the mind. As you walk in the real world you will still have access to the imaginative world created by your own mind with the help of technology and the powers of darkness. From eyeglasses to implants, humanity will walk freely in their imaginative world for the majority of their lives, never realizing that they are walking in darkness.

Humanity does not realize that they are being programmed now to walk in this imaginative world. With advanced technologies and social media, humanity is drawn from the real world to a world of faceless people, strange ideals, and unimaginable trickery to continue your programming to accept it as the new reality, to fill your every thought, and eventually your every moment in time. This is humanity’s latest upgrade to complete your programming by Satan. They say it’s addictive but it’s much more than that because it is convincing you that you are making a positive contribution to society. It’s convincing you that you have been accepted to a school of higher learning by sharing and receiving ideas from others in this new unseen community that’s having a profound impact on both your thinking and your behavior. Satan does not care what you believe or who you follow. He only cares that you remain in the community long enough to want more. Satan will lead you to go well beyond reality by allowing you to redesign yourself into a beautiful person by using AI Apps to change you hair color, hairstyles, makeup, modify facial expressions, beautification, and even body modification. This is clearly re-creating yourself in your own image. Furthermore, you can even pick an avatar to represent who you want to be. With every step into this imaginative world, you take a giant step away from God and what He has preordained for your life in the real world.

Not only on social media, but also following the news media, the internet, and the alarming contribution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) proclaiming to give only the truth will solidify your position in the new world that garners all of your time, total allegiance, and belief that humanity alone will usher in the golden age of peace and prosperity. Don’t worry, the other side is just programmed to look and act evil so that they can be defeated by the so-called good guys allowing everything to be fulfilled in its proper time. All of humanity is being programmed almost like we are living in a matrix created by Satan and his powers of darkness. Even when you think you have won the battle and obtained the golden age, you will have lost. The whole world once it has allowed their program from the powers of darkness to succeed by bringing everyone into captivity by living life in the matrix of delusional fiction and consumed with the imaginative world under total control by Satan, they will have lost and total destruction of the world by fire will happen (II Peter 3:10-13). Only those who have completely come out of the world by no longer being conformed to the world but are being transformed by the renewal of their minds, will ultimately escape the fire and be translated to a new heavens and a new earth already designed by our Creator (Revelation 21).

The Bible says, “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” (Romans 12:2). We have just seen that Satan has been working aggressively since the 1950’s to conform all of humanity to this world run by his powers of darkness. I have been preaching and teaching for years to heed the angel’s voice (Revelation 18:4) and come out from the world while you still can, because like any computer once you have been fully programmed by the world it will be too late. Once you stop all the things in the world that are attempting to program you, then it is essential to be also transformed by the renewal of your mind. We must submit ourselves to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to transform our minds by growing us from one degree of glory to another (II Corinthians 3:18, ESV). He does this by teaching us to put off the old self through repentance and put on our new life in Christ (Ephesians. 4:20-24) by keeping in step with the Spirit and not the ways of the world (Galatians 5:25). You have a choice. You can either be programmed by the devil that will lead you into an imaginative world or you can be transformed in Christ where He will show you what is good, acceptable, and the perfect will of God. This is God’s original design for your life. The latter will allow you to see the beauty of the real world created for all of His children, to experience unbelievable joy and a peace that defies understanding. God’s plan for your life is absolutely amazing, which will see one little miracle after another.

If I Were the Beast of Revelation

2 Comments

Listen to the blog article by clicking the player above.

If I were the Beast of Revelation, I would convince the Churches that the prophecies in the Book of Revelation were for some future date, and they would have no need to be concerned about them. If I were the Beast, I would tell them they can build a new golden age without God. I would teach them to trust in politics and the imagination of their own hearts. I would build on the past by first taking God out of the schools and out of the Churches by teaching them that they can now rely on mankind to give them everything they need for all of life by trusting in psychological counseling and psychotropic drugs. I would teach them that science and technology would lead them to a new era that would define the universe, the spiritual realm, and humanity giving them the answers for all of life. If I were the Beast of Revelation, I would teach them to embrace Artificial Intelligence even allowing it to be integrated with their biological bodies. Step by step, I would teach the entire world to accept and depend on these new disciplines of psychology, science, and technology by using public education, movies, videos, news media, and social media that would reach into every area of society.

If I were the Beast, I would select one nation to pioneer every form of lawlessness and perversion that would be acceptable to the masses by taking God out of the equation. I would lead them to change laws and introduce their perversions in public education, especially among innocent children. As lawlessness and perversions spread throughout the world the Beast would take advantage of the growing frustration and resentment among the people who call upon God. If I were the Beast in Revelation, I would pretend to recognize two genders, male and female solidifying my position with the right. If I were the Beast I would amplify the division among all people in the great society by raising up those on the right to overcome all the evil and the horrific policies in society by essentially destroying the other side. If I were the Beast, I would raise up a team that would think and act in unison. They would fulfill all the demands of the Beast to demean the other side decimating the democratic party and their hard left allies. If I were the Beast, I would lead the left to fight back with protest, lawlessness, corruption, and federal judges. This will become their undoing, and the Beast will grow even stronger.

If I were the Beast of Revelation, I would bring forth great hope of a new golden age of peace and prosperity. Propaganda would be at its best showing a level of excitement beyond anything seen before, which in time would overcome every media outlet and every dissenting voice. If I were the Beast, I would remove the bureaucracy and save trillions of dollars by discovering fraud and abuse. If I were the Beast, I would become the party of righteousness saved by the hand of God from the assassin’s bullet. If I were the Beast, I would attract all the spiritual leaders to support my agenda and rally their followers to follow my every move. If I were the Beast of Revelation, I would fulfill my every promise to the masses garnering both their support and trust in my political agenda leading them in time to praise my accomplishments with great enthusiasm. If I were the Beast, I would engineer a new coin base to replace the old money system which would give me more direct power and control over the people. It would make it easier to establish a universal basic income for all those willing to follow. If I were the Beast, I would advocate for advanced Artificial General Intelligence that could be integrated into the population for the distribution of the universal basic income, a new form of education, and psychological control.

If I were the Beast, I would assemble the best fighting team with the latest technologies to garner worldwide peace through strength. If I were the Beast, I would establish a safety net of the best technology giving civilization extended peace and security. It would allow them to concentrate on building for the future with no thought of any consequences for sinning against a Holy God. In time, it would lead the population to show gratitude boarding on praise to the nation’s leaders and the Beast of Revelation. If I were the Beast, to demonstrate righteousness, I would expel the gangs and the criminals, but I would embrace the migrants if they would be willing to have an implanted tracking device, then in time, I would also embrace all the law-abiding migrants by replacing their green cards with an implanted tracking device. After a substantial amount of time, the tracking devices would seem harmless for the entire population, especially now with the ability to buy, sell, and receive their universal basic income. Technology would not only make this so much easier to award benefits and income to only those who deserve it, but it would also immediately cut down on the abuse and fraud bringing great praise from the population.

If I were the Beast of the Book of Revelation, my goal would be universal worship from everyone contrary to their religious beliefs. The ultimate goal would be praise and worship from not only those claiming to be the children of God through Jesus Christ but also from the nation of Israel. If I were the Beast, I would seek their acceptance among the Muslim Nations of the East, offering both peace and prosperity. If I were the Beast, I would support the building of the third Temple, making Jerusalem the Capital of the World. If I were the Beast, my goal would be to sit in the Temple and be worshipped as God by the entire world. Technology would be a great help in producing the image of the Beast, able to speak and cause all those who refuse to worship the Beast to be killed. If I were the Beast, all the borders of the Holy Land would be reestablished from the river to the sea. There would be peace and prosperity making it once again a land flowing with milk and honey. If I were the Beast in Revelation, my goal would be to garner the worship of all of God’s people contrary to their beliefs.

No matter what the Beast of Revelation does nothing will change the prophecy. The wrath of God will continue to pour upon fallen humanity and the nations in the east will continue to prepare for Armageddon and the eventual downfall of the Beast and his great Nation. Although the Beast will continue to explain away every plague and woe from God as a natural disaster, it will not change the hearts and minds of His faithful remnant. They will continue to stand firm, only putting their trust in God. They will have already come out from the fallen world by refusing any kind of mark, even with the promise of a universal basic income, and protection from the lawless. They will assemble in small groups in the same way that the early Christians escaped the wrath of the Roman Caesars. They will hold tightly to God’s prophecies believing that He will come back in His time to judge the Beast and deliver them to a new heavens and a new earth that will never pass away. They will pray continually and sing the old gospel songs with great faith in their hearts. The faithful remnant will be among the first to recognize the Beast from the Book of Revelation.

Silence in Heaven

2 Comments

When heaven goes silent let the whole world take notice. Let God’s elect children press on with the beautiful memories that changed their lives forever. With every memory, it will be like a blessing, that solidifies their abiding trust in God. With every memory, the joy leaps within their hearts as peace fills the empty holes left by those who have passed on before them. They have learned how to cherish the silence, remembering the still small voice from God that they had heard so loudly in the depths of their hearts. It had been prophesied more than two thousand years ago that heaven would go silent briefly just before the end, as the seventh seal, the seventh trumpet, and the seventh bowl of God’s wrath simultaneously brings the world to an end. For many, this will be a frightful silence bringing forth the consummation of all things. It is the Lamb of God who opened the seventh seal as each event of the seals, trumpets, and bowls of God’s wrath unfolded simultaneously growing worse through each age from the resurrection of Christ to His return in glory to catch up all of His elect children. Let’s not lockup the encouraging truth in the Book of Revelation needed for each age.

Although the silence will be very brief, it will seem like only a half hour when completed. The Alpha and the Omega is present in every time from beginning to end preparing God’s faithful children for this momentous event when time, from an earthly perspective, will be no more. So, what is happening during this time when heaven is silent? There is a great offering filled with much incense along with the prayers from all the saints cast upon the golden altar before the throne of God. Even during this time of silence from heaven, the prayers from all God’s beloved children rise to heaven as a final offering which returned to earth as peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake (Revelation 8:2-5) to usher in the end. Heaven may be silent, but every prayer from the saints of God will continue to have a powerful impact upon fallen humanity and those who have strayed from the path of righteousness. One of the most important things we can do during the tribulation is to pray earnestly for every soul, especially for those who struggle with unrighteousness. There is great power in prayer to convict, to heal, and to lead God’s elect children to repent.

We must be great encouragers when heaven appears silent among many of God’s children, for this will be a great time of struggle when all they hear is the many conspiracy theories and contradicting voices from the world. We must encourage them to remember the truth, which will be like a bright light overcoming the darkness in their souls. Only the truth will set them free from the shackles of the enemy who has taken them captive by filling the entire world with his lies. Although the great days of shouting the uncensored truth from the world’s many platforms and in the many assembled churches are quickly passing away, nothing should stop us from whispering the truth into the ears of humanity. Nothing should stop us from praying for each soul that we encounter. Nothing should stop us from demonstrating our self-giving love to others. Nothing should stop us from letting our light shine forth with great joy bursting forth from our hearts. Nothing can stop us from turning the other cheek and going the extra mile. Nothing can stop us from trying to release the captives from their prison of immorality sanctioned by the fallen world. Let us press on with the belief that our prayers will not go unheard as they are added to the incense and cast upon the throne in heaven. There is great power in prayer.

With the dawning of every new day all of God’s elect children, from around the world, will meet with the Alpha and the Omega allowing Him to resurrect the many beautiful memories of walking with Him every moment of every day. These precious memories will carry us through the darkest of days. We must not allow the ugliness and foulness of the world to pull us down into the pit of despair. We must not allow the meanness of others to resurrect thoughts of revenge or harbor feelings of unforgiveness. We must not allow the many lies and conspiracy theories to lead us down a very dark and dangerous path, which will drive us further away from the truth. It’s only the truth that will keep us strong and free from the lies of the enemy. The truth has not changed. The truth is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. The moment we start adding senseless doctrine to our beliefs, then it dilutes the truth. The truth must always start with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ who pathed the way to a brand-new life in Him. Some have gotten so far afield with all their beliefs that they have forgotten the simple truth about our transformation in Christ.

Even in the darkest days when heaven seems silent, we must continue our transformation in Christ, or we will slip deeper into the abyss of immortality. The deeper we slip into immortality the more we become slaves of the devil leading us to the altar of the Antichrist. The only way we can truly stop the descent into immorality is to continue our transformation in Christ. Unfortunately, many believe they can control or limit their immorality to acceptable limits being satisfied with their Christianity. They will loudly protest that they are not so bad and that no one better judge them. They have become comfortable in their beliefs and have no desire to press on to their higher calling in Christ Jesus. The Bible describes these souls as lukewarm Christians. Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the Omega, counsels them to put off the old, tarnished life, and put on the new garments of a life that is being transformed in Christ. Then He says, “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent” (Revelation 3:19). The Lamb of God has not forgotten His lukewarm children destined for a life of misery and even the possibility of expulsion from paradise, so He will reprove and discipline them hoping that they will be zealous and repent. Let us continue our prayers for every soul but especially for God’s lukewarm children who are missing out on the glories of their new life in Christ.

We will know with all assurance that we are on the path of transformation when we readily observe the old life of immortality falling off and the new life in Christ being put on day by day. Transformation is a process, which continues every day of our lives. This is not learning how to play church or learning a new sacred doctrine every day. It is not being controlled by our timepieces, technology, and scientific discovery. Transformation is walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ every moment of every day. This is accomplished by keeping in step with the Spirit. The Bible says, “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:25).  When we keep in step with the Spirit then we will produce the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law (see Galatians 5:22-23, ESV). We must ask ourselves; can we observe this Spiritual fruit in our lives? Step by step the Spiritual fruit will grow more robust being displayed in every moment of our lives touching those around us in a very powerful way. Although heaven may appear to go silent for many as we approach the end, they must not let it stop their transformation in Christ that will observe the richest blessings and the most glorious miracles this side of heaven. When heaven goes silent the world will tremble, but God’s children will rejoice that they can feel His presence in the midst of the silence. All glory to God.

This article is quoted from my recent published book, “Annals of Prophetic Writings.” (See Below)

The Gospel Presentation

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, which explains the many difficulties that you are currently facing in your life. Well, I have good news, God has solved that problem by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was born of a virgin to show us the way to a beautiful new life in Christ. God has dealt with all of our sins past, present, and future by having His son pay the debt for our sins. Jesus Christ willingly went to the Cross in our stead by allowing all of the world’s sins to be placed upon Him as a sacrificial Lamb. As Christ hung on the Cross, the wrath of God was poured out on Him to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was buried for three days. On the third day, Christ arose from death to life everlasting. The good news is if we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then we will be forgiven for all of our sins and receive the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead us into all truth helping us in the transformation process of putting off the old life, allowing the old sin nature to die with Christ, and then putting on our new life in Christ by being raised with Christ to everlasting life. You can accept Christ today by confessing your sins to Him through a simple prayer asking Him to forgive you and make you into a new creation filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have done that, then you have just begun the greatest journey of your life that leads to heaven and eternal life. Welcome to the Kingdom.

The Sins of the Mind

Leave a comment

In my last two articles, we discussed rising above the white noise and the darkness covering the entire planet. Today we will go much deeper by examining the sins of the mind that no one can see. They are so well hidden in the mind, if they are not properly dealt with, then they will become your undoing as Satan leads you through the gates of hell without you ever noticing it. As God’s children, we must recognize the sins of the mind so that we can overcome them. Most every true believer in Christ recognizes the outward sins of what we do and what we say. However, very few recognize the sins of the mind, which encompasses every thought and every imagination. The Bible makes it abundantly clear that every unrighteous thought and vain imagination can be seen as committing the trespass in our hearts. We will be held accountable for every unrighteous thought and every vain imagination not dealt with properly. That is, they must be cast out of our minds immediately, less than a nanosecond. This will take a lot of hard work observing every thought or imagination, deciding instantly if it’s evil, and then successfully casting it out, if necessary, again and again. The good news is that we can trust in God’s grace to be with us every step of the way, ready to forgive every trespass after we have cried out to Him in true repentance. Now, let’s look closely at the sins of the mind most often overlooked to our own detriment.

These sins of the mind can not only damage our relationship with God, but they can also cause a multitude of emotional and psychological problems, along with physical maladies in certain cases. Let’s start with the more obvious sins of the mind, then we will look at those not-so-obvious and extremely dangerous to our well-being. The more obvious sins of the mind commit the trespass in our minds by visualizing it in every detail. Jesus said, “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). Clearly, this is also applicable to women lusting after men. Lust is actualized from undressing the other to committing the sexual act, and everything in between. The vain imagination could carry the mind even further away with no limit to the imagination. This template could be used for every imaginable sin from beating someone up in our mind to plotting how to get revenge, from destroying their good name to any other number of vicious scenarios. We will be held accountable for every trespass imagined in the mind that would violate one of God’s Holy Commandments. The list could go on, but you get the picture.

Our God of creation gave humanity a wonderful gift of the mind to think complex thoughts and use our imagination to only glorify God. Sadly, however, many use their wonderful imagination to create fantasies to gratify their own selfish longings instead of using them to glorify God. Their imagination takes them well beyond the created order of things and God’s loving providence to entertaining vain imaginations that can easily lead them into every manner of sin. These vain imaginations can imagine such things as becoming so rich and powerful that they can spend countless hours imagining how they will spend their money. Their vain imagination can believe they will make the greatest discovery or become the most renowned person in history by fixing ailing humanity and making the world great again. For many years now, movies have helped humanity to expand their imagination by embracing futuristic ideas and creating every new storyline or fantasy imaginable. Some people have vainly imagined that they have had the most unbelievable spiritual or even out-of-body experiences and that they have heard God continually sharing things that are well beyond accepted Biblical doctrine. Dear children, vain imaginations in the mind, especially about spirituality, are very dangerous and can open the doors to Satan and his horrific powers of darkness. There is no limit to the imagination circumventing the will of God and his divine providence for our lives. Remember, there was a time when the entire world was destroyed by the flood, because of their vain imaginations (Genesis 6:5-8. Vain imagination is clearly a sin of the mind.

Our God of creation gave humanity the amazing gift of memory. Humanity can remember every detail of past events either bringing great joy or horrific devastation to their hearts. I have always said that our God is the greatest psychologist because He created us and knows everything about our mind and how it works. Bad memories can cause devastating problems, both emotionally and psychologically. Bad memories can be caused by many things but primarily from being wronged by others, real or unreal. Typically, when this happens humanity dwells on this bad memory causing it to grow exponentially. Also, when they tell others to get their sympathy the bad memory grows even more horrible. These bad memories can cause untold psychological problems that can stay with them for years. It is not uncommon for a person dwelling on a bad memory for many years to allow the slightest similar transgression from another person to cause them to relive the trauma of the bad memory as if it had just happened. These people suffer greatly because of their bad memories because they refuse to follow God’s counsel on how to get rid of these bad memories. How tragic that many believers turn to the world for a remedy through a lifetime of psychotropic drugs and endless counseling.

The Bible says, “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 6:14-15). This is beautiful counsel from the throne of God. Bad memories can be erased by forgiving others as God forgives us. If we truly forgive others from the heart, then God will not only forgive us, but He will become our advocate against the evil-doer. Remember, God said, vengeance is mine, saith the lord (Romans 12:19). To forget means that we can no longer dwell on the trespass against us. We can no longer tell others to gain their sympathy. This also disqualifies group therapies that keep the trespass alive. Once we have turned it over to God, and the authorities if necessary, then we will have put ourselves in a position to forget. You will treat this bad memory like any other sin that the devil wants you to dwell on by bringing it up to your memory again and again. We must overcome this by casting out the memories immediately. Satan and the spirit of Antichrist are destroying the minds of fallen humanity allowing them to suffer the consequences of their sins by experiencing every emotional and psychological problem imaginable. We must resist the devil. The Bible says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

I hope you are beginning to see that correct thinking is very important for our well-being. The good news is that God has given us the power to overcome every thought or memory that enters our minds. Yes, casting out the evil thought, the vain imagination, and the bad memories are essential but to truly overcome we must learn how to immediately replace the bad with the good. The Bible is replete with examples of replacing evil with the good. Study Ephesians 4:17-32, which talks about putting off the old life and putting on the new life. These are great examples that can be applied to every area of life. When you cast out an evil thought or memory replace it immediately with a righteous thought or a good memory. Memorize Philippians 4:8 that gives us a list of righteous thoughts and a way to prove our good memories. Dear children, as we approach the end, remember that God will hold us accountable for every evil thought, bad memory, and vain imagination. So, let us stand firm by thinking only righteous thoughts and rejoicing in good memories. Moreover, to be free from bad memories and vain imaginations will allow you to be completely transformed in Christ Jesus experiencing the ecstasy of heavenly bliss. It will allow you through faith to experience God’s amazing love flowing through you to others. Please dear children control what you think about in your minds, it is the doorway to everlasting joy and a peace that defies understanding.
