Once more I am being nudged by the relevancy of the oldest book. The application of the story given to us in
the first book of the Old Testament.
Most of us, in the persuasion of Judeo-Christian beliefs, regard the
bible as the word of God the creator and as such has meaning for mankind. As one of the believers I regard man as being
more than just flesh and blood, that he was created by God in His image. That image is one of mind, body and spirit.
The next part, of that belief in the Word, is that Satan was
created before man and that being was the first example of what we now regard
as hubris. Satan tried to establish his
own rule over creation and since that time warfare has been waged for the souls
of man. I do believe that, since the
Garden of Eden times, the ownership of mans spiritual being has been the goal
of Satan. Satan gave birth to the act of
manipulation, by using partial truths mixed with lies, to grasp mankind’s greed
to separate mankind from the Creator.
That spiritual battle has continued throughout the millennium of our existence.
For those of you who consider the Bible to no more than a fairy-tale,
remember that most fairy-tales exist to teach through a moral of the story.
In the beginning, according to the story, Satan tempted Eve with
the possibility of the great things She and Adam would gain. He told and that God wanted them to abstain
from touching or eating the fruit just to prevent them from being powerful like
God himself. God gave them a law, Satan,
through the power of lies and the greed for more in the heart of mankind, told
Eve that she needn’t follow the law. Unfortunately,
the lie was believed and acted upon. So
here we are as a species known as mankind, no longer living in the original
land of Eden, relying on our own struggles to regain what we had in The Garden
of Eden.
I see a real parallel between that lie of Satan and what is
happening in our country in a time so far removed from Eden. The tools used by
Satan are just effective against our society and our way of life as they were way
back then a long, long time ago.
Our people have been separated, and bunched into small tribes and
cliques, by political promises of more and more empty gifts. We are led to believe we would be in a better
world if there were no laws being enforced; that all things should be free;
that someone else has the upper hand and that we are being treated
unfairly. The lie is that we need a
society in which everyone is taken care of and no one has or gets more than the
next guy. The purpose of those lies… to
gain power much the same as Satan wishes to gain power over the spiritual
souls of man.
This coming November, God willing, our society will be deciding on
a course dictating our future, as such we should exercise prudence and seek
wisdom. We need to look for truth of the
past promises, actions, and results in a pragmatic way.
Our country exists as a result of blood spent to give us the
freedom of deciding our own futures, seeking our own fortunes and making our
dreams reality. We may not all achieve
our highest but at least we have the freedom to grab at the golden ring. I, for one, choose not to lose this Eden we call
the USA by believing in the false promises of politicians vying for the power
to control. I choose not to relinquish the
freedom to achieve or fail as many times as there exists an opportunity. I choose not to believe in the use of the
words or the miss-use of words filled with the half-truths and manipulative
fear-mongering that is being used against our way of life. The way of life that is in great jeopardy.
Just a thought… What might
Satan be whispering today? How much
truth and how much lie would be in that whisper?
Hatred between races; all whites hate all color; Sanctuary cities
are good; Police are all bad; Abortion is a woman’s right; a fetus is not a
child; minority races are held down by white privilege, the poor are being held
back by the rich; and the list goes on and on.
You and I need to examine the effect of believing this stuff, we need to
examine how much of the food we put into our minds is good and how much if it
was manufactured to give someone else power.
Pray for our country, our people, our first responders and our
President.
GOD BLESS THE USA
