The Lie

Love…and the greatest of these is love. Love is a priority to Christ. It is the foundation of what is required of us as Christians.  It is the reason for everything, for creation, for free will, for imparting heaven to earth in the form of sinless man, for obedience in His will, for the sacrificial Lamb, for taking on the sins of the world and taking on hell, for the resurrection, for the impartation of the Holy Spirit, for the promise of a future, for grace. In contrast, the enemy is always lying, to everyone that will listen. He is the author of confusion and when we find our country confused he will have responsibility. We are witnessing the attempts at the perversion of the word love, which when correctly applied it is the very flora and the fauna of our relationship with God. A perverse mockery of love has been cracked open in our country. This something has been invented as a response to hatred and the enemy is calling it love. It has become a battle stance versus the condition of hearts. It is a great justifier in minds that are unable or unwilling to discern. If you don’t practice in this fabricated love, by the world’s standard you are a hater. The world is calling for no hate, which on the surface is noble and appears to align with the goodness of God. When we peel back the layers, it is no more than a fear of exposing sin, which directly impacts the measure of excitement the sinner is able to extract from his sin. The modern age of people, who know not of God and His rich suffering, have an aversion to being questioned or rebuked and we are watching them come undone when God’s Truth is spoken into their lives.  You see, we all know Truth. It was breathed into us in the garden when we took our first breath. It is the spirit voice inside of us that helps direct our path. But what if we want to have a different path? How can you enjoy the path when you are constantly reminded that the path is not the right path and it is not leading us to the right destiny? Wouldn’t you want to make that voice stop so you could revel in your freedom of choice? And how can we attempt to silence it? Confuse it says the evil one. Let’s celebrate a manufactured love and make it the cry of our flesh. This life of false love then makes us self-righteous in our works and falsely justifies us. In the absence of Truth, the sinner is convinced and justified in their abhorrent sin and the absolute censorship of conviction takes place. Drive out the Holy Spirit, diminish it with the lie of generic love, and the sinner is able to revel in the pride and arrogance of his own presumed self-worth and elevate himself to a place of self-anointed godliness.

In this atmosphere of demigods, who have replaced men, there is a recoiling from correction and the resulting wrath falls upon the messenger and he is labeled as someone who supports hate, when in fact he is ushering Truth. Towering porous mountains have risen up, one for each demigod. Stacked to the clouds with justified sin, seeping and oozing and crumbling over a compromised foundation. On top of each mountain there is a three legged throne, where the sinfully divine sits and admires the empty love he has birthed. His creation justifies him to become a judge and an accuser as he throws the contents of his rotting mountain down upon the heads of the righteous. The wicked wear crowns of serpents hissing loudly distracting them from righteous thinking. They silence the objections with their forked tongues and classify the justified with the projections of their own evilness. Their anti-judgement campaign justifies their sin and keeps all opposed quiet. Oh beware to those who affix the label of “sinner” upon the justified.

Holy Spirit rise up like a desert sand storm and blanket our souls with your conviction. May the wind of your justice topple mountains of the wicked. May the thrones of the unrighteous crack from the weight of Your presence. May the squalling sand shave off the scales on the eyes of the lost and blast away the hardness on hearts. Convict hearts of their false convictions. Put an end to the wretched silencing of the just and the holy. Smash the serpents’ heads. Holy Spirit be relentless and never ceasing and never tiring of declaring the ways of the Lord. May those who have embraced and become a worldly success in this campaign be trapped like blind rats as the manifest presence falls upon them like a cloud. Allow grace and mercy to abound. May hearts be saved and make true Love known. May it be the very wickedness of the attacks of the ruefully justified that expose the enemy’s deceit. May tongues confess the goodness of the Lord as this is brought to its knees and keep it there until it can confess with its lips that God is Lord, Creator, Judge, Redeemer. Lord, we cry out for your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
