Making Decisions in Panic Mode. Part [2] 11/04/2024 (Morning thought)

2nd Corinthians 2: 11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

The mental, physical, and spiritual capabilities we were created with have all deteriorated drastically of the years. And now, folks have become considerably weaker, physically, morally, and mentally, to the point where we cannot control ourselves without Christ. This is an inconvenient truth we will have to confront and be reconciled to, if we are to understand our dire need of Christ.

You may see persons well dressed, apparently very intelligent and they may seem to have it all together but at the opportune moment, when the serpent is ready to strike, all those who are not covered by the blood of Christ will succumb to his deadly sting, and that is what you’re seeing live, in real time currently. This fact about our powerlessness outside of Christ has to be clearly understood, before we proceed.

It is critically important to establish from the Bible, the reasons for the urgency of the moment, which is driving persons into panic mode. Thus, we will have to put it plainly. A human being without Christ has much weaker will power than the devil, and for this reason, if persons have habitually yielded their freedom of choice, by doing his will he can and will dominate that person’s mind, and can literally force them to say, and do evil things, even things they had not originally planned to say or do.

2nd Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Making Decisions in Panic Mode. Part [1] 11/02/2024 (Evening thought)

Proverbs 3:4 So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

There is no doubt that America is now in full blown panic mode as the possibility of chaos and national upheaval looms large on the horizon. Men’s hearts are indeed failing them for fear, looking after those things that are coming upon the earth. Everything that is vile, everything that is false, that is incendiary and profane is now on the menu daily, and mortal man seems entirely powerless to stop the downward spiral into the abyss.

Even when the changing of the guard occurs, those seeds that have been sown nationally will continue to germinate, and will bring forth commensurate fruit in due season, for the Bible says, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. This is the work and product of fallen human nature that is not transformed by the grace of Christ, but is rather motivated by demonic spirits. Man does not have it within himself to resist the incursions of the devil, because pound for pound he is much stronger than we are.

And thus, the only remedy for the fallen condition of humanity is the grace of God applied to the heart and this is the reason why we do not point anyone to manmade solutions but rather to Christ alone, for He is the only Person who could solve this world’s problems. Man was originally made lower than the angels, and since the fall in Eden by our first parents, folks have continued to sink lower and lower on all fronts.

Proverbs 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
