When God is everything to a man, as it is meant to be, many things can happen within that persons life that are just totally way beyond understanding, and as time goes by, no matter how much faith is truly within our hearts, we can easily slip into one of Satan’s uncountable traps of deception and mind control that he is so very good at. What’s so cunning about that wicked one called the devil, is just the way he does things that only true men of God with great depths in wisdom with knowledge can understand. . . .in other words, the author of eternal salvation, plainly warns those whom the Father has called and blessed with knowledge, that Satan is the prince and power of the air, and is extremely good at mind control, which is why God provides armor that we must wear at all times. Men of God, are very different, men of God are very spiritual, men of God, are also human flesh and blood, therefore, men of God can and do make mistakes just as all human beings do.
But there is a difference, a spiritual difference, which is learning from God through what He allows into our life as He is teaching us for a special purpose that only He is fully aware of. In other words, once again, our learning from God is not in vain, because our awareness has increased so much, that we will now always double check our personal armor through prayer just to make sure that it is very secure, and always in place, so that the devil flees while fully knowing that he can in no way penetrate God’s armor. To actually resist the devil so that he flees is to be an over comer just as our Lord Jesus Christ was, and that is why He said “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Jesus Christ.” Once we have his mind within our own mind, we will also have His love within our hearts, and with that love, the fullness of God will begin a very mighty work within us that will never stop growing throughout all eternity. What God has taught me is that the more we grow in wisdom, which is knowledge of our God that allows us understanding. . . .the more of His armor we will need.
Please allow me to try and plainly say what’s in my heart and on my mind just to make it clear as possible.
The more of a babe you are, the less armor you need, because as a babe your spiritual mind is very weak with little wisdom, therefore Satan already has you pretty much where he wants you, which is deceived regarding deep truths which is strong meat.
At this time in our lives, spiritual warfare is a brutal nonstop battle twenty four hours a day. . .because Satan knows that his time left is short, and because God has taught men that strive to walk with Him so much over so many years, that we have all become his prime targets of destruction. . . just as you and all true men of God that diligently seek a closer walk with God on a moment by moment basis because we pray without ceasing, meaning that God is always on our minds and in our hearts.
And the more faith a man has, and the more that he is dedicated only to God in ways so far above natural life. . . .that only the mature spiritual mind of a true and genuine brothers in Christ our Lord can begin to understand with forgiveness for what has been done to him.
My sorrows are very pure, very genuine, and very true. There may be a thousand things that I could say for excuses, and there may also be a thousand scriptures that I could use to try and cover my tracks of wrong, but in truth and from my heart, the only way to repair a wrong doing to another is through heartfelt apology with sorrows of guilt while becoming educated spiritually so as to never again make the same mistake that only hurts others while belittling ones own self.
There is only one main ingredient for all things, and that is God. Once we have Him for our breath of life, over time more and more ingredients are slowly added so as to mature the mixture into stability. Like all things pertaining to God, there is an order, rather than confusion. The first order from God is humility, because if we are not humble in His sight, how can we possibly learn His truths?
Do you fully understand what it is to be humble?
“The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the forward mouth do I hate.”
“When pride comes, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.”
“Only by pride comes contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.”
“In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.”
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
“A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.”
What God has shown and told us very clearly is this: We can only be humble if we swallow our pride, and admit that we may be wrong, while not caring what others may think about us, but knowing that God has been pleased by our actions that glorify Him.
Over a 18 year period of time, God has kept me from being a church member, yet through that time He has showed me very kind of man from a-z who He is not at all pleased with, including myself for recent actions.
In Ecclesiastes 12:7, the words read. . .
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”
Now without God to rattle your thoughts, does not that verse sound like death to you? God created man, and gave him life. He also gave man a human spirit that enabled him to learn and make decisions, yet man was not yet complete until God’s holy spirit was added for directions in growth with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of his creator.
So, when the body dies, it returns to the dust from where it was created, and the spirit goes back to God from where it came. Flesh and blood die, but the spirit is eternal. Therefore at the Day of Judgment, if you have done wrong, and know not God, while refusing to repent, you can only suffer for eternity if you are a spirit, because spirits never die.
So I was wrong about hell. I can admit mistakes, can you?
“For the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many are one body: so also is Christ.”
Because God, is not a God of confusion, there are many spiritual gifts, and when all of those gifts are combined, they create a body in only one accord.
In other words when we are humble, God allows us all to learn from each other in brotherly love while always being in full agreement.
The only way that God can work within us is to be humble while fully realizing that we as brothers in Christ, all need each other, with Our Father as the lead in all things.
Please forgive me for any and all wrongs that I have done through a bitterness that Satan had put into my mind along with some religious deception that he himself [Satan] put there also through teachings of doctrines of men, and their own prideful thoughts over God’s truth. I have once again over come the wicked one, and will keep my guard up with all of God’s armor properly in place for my protection. Again, I am sorrier than words can even begin to express with hopes of forgiveness.
