It is written, "The Devil made me do it..."
We must remember this and be quick to forgive those who betray us or esnare us because their states of existence are hard and unforgiving, often bereft of warmth and light, compassion and justice. They are forced to do what they do, and you never know when your reality may become like theirs...
Luk 6:37-38 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
As they say, "Things are not always as they seem," and often those whom you may be envious of, truly have nothing deserving your envy. Why do they wish to invoke your envy then? Because what you already have, but are not aware of, is all that matters, and they are quite blood thristy and downright desperate to acquire It. While you, who may seem unworldly and peculiar, are full and rich with blessings and security, liberty, love, and many other gifts of the Spirit; they are void of all of these and possess no more than anger, fear, and hunger. Yet, if they possess even a memory distant of having once enjoyed the same, there is no doubt they may vicariously enjoy your Light and find meaning in their darkness and reason to endure and survive untoward circumstance through somehow serving the righteous and peculiar...This is when we find out what makes a person's spirit worthy or not.
They may work for different rewards, and obey a different master and law, yet Our Master and Our Law holds sway in every reality and corner of, about, beneath, under, over, and beyond Creation...Mercy shall never rob Justice, nor Justice deny Mercy.
Once more, it comes down to Proper Order, which is especially essential to a reality in which chaos and disorder, cruelty and malevolent wickedness rule the day. When Light reigns, the Dark side must serve the Light. And now that through misrepresentation and falsehood, a sufficient number of those who belong in Light and come from the Light, walk on in darkness, it is hard for any to obey the foundational Law of this Propriety.
There has always been a "Darth Vader" seeking to corrupt a "Luke Skywalker," as our fathers down below are not Our Father who is in Heaven and they work for and often do not even deserve table scraps from the Master's Table. So they conspire against Him and make many masters of themselves and each receive their own table at the cost of their Master and Only Friend's. Their tables are heaped up with every abominable sort of meat and treat you could dream of, but nothing good for the belly or the soul. While His, dressed with no more than a simple cloth and setting, has a simple meal of a fish and loaf, and maybe a bit of new wine. No glamour to it. Just simplicity and excellence in company. These other "masters" wouldn't even show up to His Meal when invited.
So...
Luk 14:13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Now to understand that it takes a great deal of sacrifice, obedience and doing to create your own "table" and mastery of spirit and worldly endeavors is nothing to make light of, but when it brings darkness and strife for more of His Children than it does "progress," wealth, personal security, etc. for you and yours, we have entered an age of tyranny dressed as success, built largely upon theft, lies, waste and the manipulation of the hearts and souls of the masses.
When one's filthy, illegitimate, completely unworthy pride gets the better of them, one sets about to do the unLawful and abominable and this means betraying, misusing and slowly and surely losing all that the righteous Sons of God bring to and bless Creation with.
Jos 2:11 And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
The distinction is made in many places in the Scriptures of the difference and it's not given much attention by the legion of teachers and professors that men have made of themselves because they know they are beneath claiming a portion of that which they have no right to.
Deu 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do [them]:
Pro 15:24 The way of life [is] above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
Isa 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
1Cr 15:40-50 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another.
[There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from [another] star in glory.
So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.
As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
D&C 76:81, 91-93 And again, we saw the glory of the telestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the glory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.
And thus we saw the glory of the terrestrial which excels in all things the glory of the telestial, even in glory, and in power, and in might, and in dominion.
And thus we saw the glory of the celestial, which excels in all things—where God, even the Father, reigns upon his throne forever and ever;
Before whose throne all things bow in humble reverence, and give him glory forever and ever.
Jhn 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
It is obviously possible to ensnare and bring down even the Messiah Himself and the rewards for doing so must be tempting to say the very least. Some souls are just wicked, with no light in them and all they care about is unworthy rewards. When a soul has been "phased out," it may be willing to do just about anything to remain or get back in The Game. And despite the veritable plethora of divergences available and routes of straying from, there remains only One Game being played in every arena under Heaven and in those blessed realms above and all are subject to Law and Dominion, Sovereignty and Will.
There remaineth only One Way into His Kingdom.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jhn 10:7-11 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
As Jonah could not hide from the LORD, so too and neither may any in Heaven, Hell or in betwixt, hide from the LORD of Hosts, God of Israel, and He has set over the transgressor a One whom His Son warned all to fear.
What the fallen know, is that they will NEVER inherit those things which are above and do not have a promise of eternal life waiting for them after death and they want with a capital W, as in George W. Bush. Anything and everything that can be there's beneath while the opportunity abides.
In this Land of Opportunity, the Only Real Opportunity, abideth in you, the Sons and Daughters of God, not in these political gurus and demonically inspired men and women of society and culture...You must buy what they are selling and then you and they are guilty.
1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Jhn 10:8a All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers:
Know why George favors an "Ownership Society"? Because he nor you have any Divine Right to anything at all, especially property.
Deu 10:14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].
Psa 24:1 The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
1Cr 10:26 For the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
Most men and women, unfortunately, will not go gently into that goodnight, and they fight, fight in darkness using deception and trickery as weapons. The Light went out in them ages ago, but they may still and yet manipulate your Light, which is His Gift to You not them.
Luk 16:16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
There are acres of woodland round where I live, and although it's becoming increasely urbanized, you can still walk for miles and notice these ancient stone walls that go on for miles too. They're pretty much all broken down and fairly easy to step over, but the stones are sizable and must have been a heck of a lot of work to move and even pile in haphazardness. One has to question the why and wherefore. I mean they are obvious property lines and pretty well defined, but why would men do so? Why do people care about property more than Liberty? Why does a Nation that boasts of its love of Freedom become insecure about personal space, privacy and right to ownership when everything we have is on loan from the LORD anyway?
Speaking of property, I was in a store called Big Lots about a month ago, which is one of those big discount stores where you can buy virtually anything pretty cheap and in abundance...and I was waiting in line to purchase a picture frame or something and a boy and his Mum, and Grandmum were in front of me buying things. The boy was running about like he'd been injected with way too much caffiene for a lad his age, and he darted back into the aisles and came out with a small statue of liberty made of plastic and pleaded with his Mum to buy it for him...She rolled her eyes and handed it to the cashier, who likewise seemed bothered, but rang it up and handed it back to the boy...The boy proceeded to use it like a gun, and pretended to be shooting at things all around him...then stumbled and dropped the statue and it broke. He stared at it, almost breaking into tears, picked it up and showed his Mum and asked for another, she conceded and bought him a second one and put the first in pieces in her purse...And that was it, they left the store a happy child with his statue of liberty/mock deadly weapon and two Mums with their baggage...
The Child, who was a bother to his Mum, Grandmum and the Cashier, as well as several other people waiting in line, was an obvious Prophet in motion...
Again, I say Americans have become perfectly tratorious and the Spirit of Rebellion is portrayed as "freedom," which we "spread" world-wide, which is manifesting itself in one disaster after another couple with disease, which we claim to be spending billions and billions that we don't have in the first place upon, boasting of "rebuilding" works God Himself saw fit to destroy with Unnatural disasters, "Acts of God." We're doing no more than Satan's will and wasting power, and life errecting an abominable Whorehouse that is sure to be destroyed in an instant. Wasting Grace, defiling Spirit, Bankrupting Heritage, Mocking God and everything and anything that made this Nation the freest, most wondrously miraculous Nation of Believers under Heaven. All for what?! Progress? We haven't progressed since the Carter Administration and he was bumped out of office because he wanted to go backwards and lead honestly.
Jer 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein].
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Progress does not build hope and confidence in anyone, but puts everyone to work, and makes all ill at ease with the demand to be aggresively and arrogantly shrewd and unforgiving in all matters of relations.
Faith builds with patience and a wondrous sense that achieves the miraculous with near effortlessness. When realized, one is surprised and uplifted and gifted with the exhilirating sense that God accomplished something Wonderful through them. Jesus felt like this 24 hrs a day everyday for his entire life, and wished all to experience the same. The Work that is achieved with Faith is markedly different from the faithless works of evil or mankind. Your not fighting to do your will nor someone else's but your letting God do His Will through you. That is when your Life and His in you becomes a walking Miracle and a Wonder and Testimony of Divine Visitation. Without this Reality, no matter how successful the world proclaims a man to be, he is an utter failure and embarrassment.
All this is why I think it's important for Men in America to express their gratefulness toward the Almighty and distinguish and declare very openly, their lowly, vile states of existence and the difference between their "freedom" and the Greater Liberty their children have right and more importantly sacred obligation to enjoy and secure for the entire Nation's welfare and Providence, for this is the very Relationship that secures the freedom in which men fight, work, play, and endure and strive to work out their personal salvation.
