Revelation
3:17 "Because you say, I am rich and increased
with goods and have need of nothing.(Jeremiah
44:17).and
know not that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked."
Evil things are horrible
things we may think and do which degrade
ourselves, divide our soul from our bodies and harm others, some of which
are
here. And we do these things and/or allow them to be done to us by
those we trusted, such as those in the entire world
system of corruption. And that because we don't really love ourselves
enough to stand for what God has given us. See the David
Straight videos.
Without God, there is
no love, for love is only of God:.1John
4:8,16. The movie The Grand
Self is about a man who learned what loving oneself is about.
Evil is the energy from which
seeds of greed and control grow in a bed of selfishness, dislike and deceit
and so we become like those who have treated us so badly.
Loving ourselves is a prerequisite
for loving others:.Matthew
22:36-40. Have you told yourself today that you love yourself? In your
quiet time, have you told others you hold in your mind, that you love them?
Words
are so important. Loving ourselves is key to a happy life and the basis
for acceptance
by others.
Romans
1:28-32 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate
mind, to do those things which are not
convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers,
backbiters,
haters of God, despiteful, proud,
boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding,
covenant breakers, without natural affection,
implacable,
unmerciful, who knowing the judgment of God.(that
is, knowing what they were like was out of line with the functioning frequency
of the invisible realm of the Creator, which is love),
that they which commit such things are worthy of death.(on
the pathway to their own destruction),
not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.(that
is, with others of the same mind)."
Spiritual wickedness things.(Ephesians
6:12).are
those that can be traced to distorted energies working through the mind,
such as the things that follow. How
can one dissipate
them?
1Peter
4:3 "For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the
will of the
Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness,
lusts.(original
is 'excessive desires'; desires
which begin to control one), excess
of
wine, revelings.(generally
of depraved
feasts and drinking parties that are protracted
till late at night and indulge in revelry),
banquetings.(a
'drinking bout').and
abominable idolatries.(or,
'things even the pagan
idols would wince
at', such as:.Habakkuk
2:15)."
Romans
1:29-32; Colossians
3:5. The evil dark side way of life so
tears up and confuses men and women:.John
16:2.
Galatians
5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh.(the
'flesh' is the works produced from ego
level thinking).are
manifest, which are these:
Adultery,
fornication,
uncleanness.(original
'impure motives', just not wanting to do the right thing; inferior to
ethical
standards in society), lasciviousness,
idolatry,
witchcraft,hatred,
variance.(arguable,
contentious;
looking more for things to disagree about and cause division, than for
things to agree with and build rapport),
emulations.('zeal',
'indignation', 'fervor for things which cause harm to self and others'),
wrath.(violently
and passionately or uncontrollably angry),
strife,
seditions.('causing
uproar and insurrection';
rebellious),
heresies.(original
'to take for oneself no matter who gets hurt', 'following one's own tenets'),
envyings.(and
the resentments that come with them),
murders,
drunkenness,
revelings
and such like.(2Peter
2:3), of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall
not inherit the kingdom of God.".That
is because, in this
mind frame, one cannot 'see'.the
invisible kingdom of the Great Infinite One from the level of ordinary
consciousness.
1Corinthians
6:9-11 "Know you not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom
of God.(that
is why you are righteous by faith and
faith alone and to get faith you need the high consciousness of love:.Galatians
5:6)? Be not deceived; neither
fornicators, nor idolaters,
nor adulterers, nor effeminate.(original
is 'catamite'),
nor abusers of themselves with humanity.(such
as abusing yourself with others in late and all night heavy drinking parties,
drug parties, etc., anything that would fit into this category,even
not
enough sleep {talking all night} would fit here),
nor thieves, nor
covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers.(a
mischief maker, like one sabotaging your work or personality; mindless
destruction), nor extortioners,
inherit the kingdom of God. And such
were some of you. But you are washed, but you are sanctified,
but you are justified in the name of the Lord.Emmanuel
and by the Spirit of our God." James
1:21 "Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity.(or,
abundance).of
naughtiness.(original
is 'malice', 'unashamed wickedness').and
receive with meekness the engrafted
word.(the
guidance
of God, enabled by Christ's
loving nature being now in you and your studying
the scriptures), which is able to
save.your
souls." Romans 8:7 "Because the
carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of
God, neither indeed can be."
Ephesians
4:17-32; Colossians 3:8; 1Timothy
2:8.
Jeremiah
17:5-8 "This says the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and
makes flesh his arm, and whose heart turns aside from the Lord. Destitute
in the desert is he, not seeing when good comes, but dwells in the parched
places in the wilderness, in a salt land not inhabited. Blessed is the
man that trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he is as a
tree planted by the waters and that spreads out her roots by the river
and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green and shall
not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding
fruit."
Zephaniah
1:12-18 "And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search
Jerusalem with candles and punish the men that are settled on their lees.(comfortable
in their life to the point of fermenting);
that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, neither will he do
evil. Therefore their goods shall become a booty
and their houses a desolation. They shall also build houses, but not inhabit
them and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. The
great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hastes greatly, even the
voice of the day of the Lord. The mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness
and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick
darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities and
against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they
shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord. And
their blood shall be poured out as dust and their flesh as the dung. Neither
their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of
the Lord's wrath, but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his
jealousy. For he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell
in the land."
