Friend, we humans frantically move about doing what we think is necessary to have a good life.

Most of us are good and decent people. We love our families and are loyal to friendships, good workmates, and upstanding citizens.

All those things are good enough for this life. The one where the soul energises the flesh. 

Not the life to come. The one that eternally matters. The hereafter life of the soul which will exist in the supernatural realm we cannot see with our human eyes but know and understand by the soul indwelling our flesh on earth in this lifetime; a short existence.

The eternal existence of our soul should matter to us. It should get us to thinking about that side of our soul's existence.

Where did the soul come from? The Bible shows us it comes from God The Father. He owns it. It answers to Him. He gave it breath for this life on earth.

This life is like a sub heading, dropped down from the real Heading. We're a description in God's Story; just a part, a small time, a sub story about mankind.

Too many of us think this life is all about us; individually. My life is more important than yours, we think. My needs are more necessary to be filled. 

Too many of us think we have to "make it." Being famous will solve everything. Now that social media has replaced having genuine relationships with family friends and coworkers, many of us feel lonely.

The world offers many things and it's supernatural realm beings, that we call evil spirits, roam about seeking whom they may taunt, poke and prod goading us to blame the One being Who is our friend, Jesus.

A life without Him is a sad and lonely one. We are not meant to ignore Him. But He by His Own Law cannot make us do anything. He wouldn't be Perfect if He was an evil dictator.

Instead He is the epitome of Perfect Love. Many of mankind do not understand Who He Is. We think He should be, how we would be, if we were God. 

But friend, we are so blessed that He is not like us, and that He sees and knows all things. That He governs Himself by His Perfect Law. He will never break The Law. That is good for us. We can place our trust in Him. When He speaks (The Word of God) we can be sure it's not a lie, or His Advice will cause us harm.

The devil though does lie to us when he says something is good, when he entices us into lusts that quickly become addictions.

The Good News is that Jesus made a Way out from every evil way we have got tangled in. He can extricate us from the claws that clutch at our body, mind and heart.

He laid the foundation at The Cross to show us It is The Way. The Message of The Cross, points to a New Life, a Renewal. One that The Father accepts because we love His Beloved Son and what He did for us at The Cross.

We are all imperfect before God, until we accept that His Son died for our soul to have Life after the flesh dies. When Christ died to make a Way for us; that gives us back our rights that Adam and Eve had when they were created, His Blood was and is The Sacrificial Holy Blood that The Law required. His Death and Resurrection is a Perfect Offering; the same as The Perfect Lamb was, that Abraham was given to sacrifice when he thought God wanted his only first born son. 

It shows us that God offered up and carried through with offering His Only Son as a Holy Sacrifice instead of sending us all to Hell to satisfy The Law.

Since Christ rose again, we have a Free Gift  available to receive unto our self, that guarantees our soul will live again after this life. The next life will not have any evil in any form. We will be separated from and it will have no influence over us. 

Jesus Is The Way.  

Friend, are you sad, lacking joy?

Have the black clouds rolled in unbeknownst to you throughout your life; and now you find yourself in deep depression?

Have you searched far and wide for relief. The illicit substances that have only drawn you further down the black hole? The doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists? The Gurus, the ancient ways, the herbalists, mediums and psychics? The Eastern religious practices, yoga and martial arts? The Western gyms and body conscious sports? Anything that will keep your mind off the deep depression? 

Keeping the mind occupied is a good thing. The constant doing, the routines, do help the mind from it's pursuit to destroy the soul.

Depressive demonic spirits are after the soul. They attack relentlessly and bring the person to such despair that they think of ending their life. They want the person to kill the flesh. The mind is the battlefield.

Those demonic spirits exist in the supernatural world, all around us, and they are bad/evil spirits who align with Satan, who has an allotted time to exist. He is facing Hellfire and believes he is going to win against God. His aim is to grow such an army of disposable spirits (yours and mine) that they will outnumber God's which are innumerable. 

We don't know his plans; other than there is coming a great battle in Heaven. Satan's plans will not be for our good. Satan hates mankind. Because all in The Kingdom know, God loves us; in that all Heaven saw His Son offered up as a Holy Sacrifice to The Law, to usher in New Covenant with mankind. For us to have a Way, other than The Old Testament Way, which we could not keep. The Law Governs all things. It's not going away and it wasn't done away with. Those Laws, The Ten Commandments, stand forever. 

When Jesus came to earth, He showed us that all our woes could be healed. His God Power miraculously healed the flesh, the mind, and His Teachings soothed the heart. Since He resurrected, it has been over 2000 years and man has been battling His Diety in their minds ever since.

We haven't seen Him in the flesh, and we have the demonic spirits who were defeated at The Cross, deluding us daily. We have become weak in faith to the point of being totally faithless.

Friend do you know your lack of faith, little faith or knowledge in Jesus has brought the demonic spirits to your door to weaken you even more? Slowly but surely they have convinced you that there are many things wrong in your life and they have you thinking about your self and wondering how could a good God allow that.

For many of us, it is just a lack of spiritual understanding of who we are. We do believe in Jesus. We know He heals. We haven't sought spiritual sustenance thinking it is a brain problem. For others of us, it is that we want to continue doing whatever it is that is unhelpful, yet still be cured. There're many reasons we are lacking a breakthrough. God knows them all, for they block Him, they keep the head turned from Him. He is willing, but we are not!

But when, dear friend, will you be willing to hear Jesus out? You must give your spirit a chance to know The Truth. When we don't have The Truth, we've been fooled and claimed, by Satan to fool others with lies from the realm of evil who hate God and mankind. 

We're so eager not to be fooled, but yet we allow the evil realm to fool us constantly. We rail against God having not known Him. We have ideas about Him, and we've judged Him to be insufficent to our needs. We believe the lies told about Him without reading His Word to us.

Friend, He is not a liar. But Satan is the Biggest Liar of all creation. Why would you rather believe that liar? 

What are some of the Words of Knowledge that Jesus offers?

1. Psalm 42:3-5: Hope in God, for He will help.

2. This ScriptureVerse tells us that we are lacking Hope. Depression is a lack of Hope in what this life and the one after offers.

3. Isaiah 40:30-31: Find strength in the Lord.

4. This Scripture Verse gives us knowledge that we can find strength for the day in Jesus's Strength.

5. Matthew 11:28-30: Jesus offers rest.

6. This Scripture Verse says we can let go of what we are holding in our minds, and rest while His Holy angels surround us to protect. He will take charge while we rest our minds.

7. Philippians 4:6-7: Find peace through prayer.

8. This Scripture Verse says there is peace when we talk to Jesus; tell Him how we feel about what's happening in our life. You can talk for hours, night and day. When we empty our minds we're left with peace.

9. 1 Peter 5:7: Cast your anxiety on God.

10. This Scripture Verse assures us that the Disciple Peter understands that we can go to Jesus with these anxieties and He will soothe us. Trusting Him to sort through our anxieties, takes away the worry, bitterness and anger.

11. The Bible is filled with Holy Knowlegde that is good for our soul, our mind, our heart and our body. We can have true peace body, mind and soul when we have faith in Him.

12. Faith is The Key. Giving our whole self over to Him demands that Satan cannot have you. He will still try, for some fall away before they get true understanding, but true faith means we do not ever doubt Him but have bold sure faith that Jesus has made a Way out of the clutches of demonic activity in our lives. We commit time to getting to know Him in The Word. Yes we might wrestle with God here and there but continue on, friend. When you're stumbling, stop and ask Him what He is saying, why He included this detail. And keep studying. Treat it like a precious book your biological father left you to tell of his Father's lineage and history on earth and now yours and your children's. With whom are you similar? Are you a Joseph or an elder brother, an Isaac? Maybe you're like king David or his son Solomon? Are you an Elijah or Isaiah? Perhaps you are like Mathew or Luke, John or Paul? Deborah and Ruth, Naomi and the many Mary's? Everyone flawed, everyone a sinner except the Virgin and Abraham whom God called Righteous - Forgiven.

13. Yes we're still surrounded by evil for not every soul commits to Jesus, so Satan stays here continually trying to steal our souls. The time for his punishment hasn't arrived yet. He's on what we might call a parole yet he hasn't been punished, only sentenced. God is not going to shorten that time. We caused our own problem of having to live in this evil infected realm, when Adam blamed God for giving him the woman Eve, who seduced him into eating from the tree that was forbidden.

14. The immediate consequence was that man would no longer inhabit the Perfect Paradise but had fallen into the realm of Satan and his demons, having believed satan knew more than God. It was an automatic thing that Satan knew would happen. He was the one who had poisoned the tree.

15. Believers accept the fact that we are born into the sinner's world where Satan has some limited powers. God gave us many chances to live righteous lives before He offered up His Son. Abraham did so, but too many wouldn't; they devised idols and dieties made of wood, clay, and stone effetively showing God they didn't believe in Him.

16. In modern terms when we do not believe in God we are corrrupted data.

17. In Gracious Mercy, God, because He loves, has made a way for that corrupted data to be renewed.

18. If it doesn't accept His Way of renewal, it will go the way of Satan who has already been sentenced to that place in a time set by Law.

19. This Knowledge shoud give a soul a glimmer of Hope. There is One God, Triune in Person, Who loves you.

20. 

Friend many of us do not know that The Bible we think is for believers only, is actually written so that all mankind has the opportunity to know what God Himself has found necessary for us, to read and thereby know and live, a good and fulfilled in heart, mind and flesh, lifetime.

God starts with accounts, in terms we can understand, about how our earth came into existence, He tells us He made it. He indicates that He is pleased with what He has made. It's Perfect and Good in His Estimation.

He is a Holy Royal Artist, Sculptor, Weaver Creator, with a Great Mind, Good and Just, to name a few of His Attributes.

There is nothing that He cannot do. He chooses only to do Good which keeps everything He has created in Order; even when He gives freewill to everything He creates. He is capable of correcting anything that fails due to it's own choices.

We see this when we read about Satan. And mankind.

He uses Law and it's processes, to keep both Himself and everything He creates, going forward in His Grand Purpose, to show His Grace and Mercy and Ultimate Justice to everything that exists.

Not even a stone on the ground, or a blind frog in a cave or a bird that spends it's time high above in the sky will be able to criticise Him and what He has created.

He is making sure that everyone, everything, knows His Son; The One through Whom we may be Forgiven for we are sinners against The Law. 

Forgiven because He loves, Justified by Law, Sanctified in and by The Truth, and Redeemed back into The Fold, The Kingdom, by The Resurrection of The One Who came to make a New Covenant with us, through the shedding of His Holy Blood as a Sacrifice for the Payment of our debt to The Law and Holy Father.

The Bible reveals in many layers of understanding these Truths. Many of us are babes and can only tolerate the soft foods and even some, just the milk, but yet when we grow in spiritual knowledge through the reading of His Word, it begins to reveal deeper and more mature Knowledge to us, that satifies like the meat in the daily meal.

Let me urge anyone who is struggling in mind or body to get a physical Bible, preferable the KJV and make a set time in every 24hours to read it.

The devilish realm which inhabits the earth in supernatual form, roam around like roaring lions seeking to destroy us; our minds, our hearts, our body. Ask your "self,"  "am I infected? Is my body suffering from evil works? Has evil infeced my thoughts? Is my soul in denial of my Creator?"

If there is even the slightest indication you are not hearing the Truth spoken to your "self," believe it. God has said in His Word this is from the devil, not Him.

Depression, anxieties, fears, nervousnesses, altered mind states, all these things are brought to you through and by the workings of Satan, who is very experienced at hurting, tearing down, fear mongering in the souls and flesh of mankind, God's beloved creation.

Simply put, God says in His Word that we need to be walking through life with Jesus. Placing our faith in Him and His Holy Work to appease The Law. Believing His Word above anything the devil places before our eyes; because Satan who is a copycat, who offers copycat religions of fake goodness to lure us away from God's Perfect Law, and who places fear in our mind towards His Word, His Loving letters about our Heritage and the Legacy He left for us is constantly attacking our mind and breaking our heart with disinformation about God.

If we only realise that Jesus is The Way in our heart, and stand firm in that decision, we will by that choice, open our heat and mind to learn of Him, Who came to earth as our Saviour, and Who Is now sitting at the right hand of God as an Advocate, for each of us, to The Father.

His Word is a soothing balm to every soul and it teaches us many Truths. When we have a solid Truth we can let it settle as a Gem of Knowledge like a Priceless Pearl of Wisdom and Truth. It unruffles the feathers, it looses the tightened muscles, it soothes the mind and all those things enable the heart to pump strongly for our good health all over.

And friend, it never hurts us. God is firm and gentle, loving and kind. He uses a Surgeon's scalpel to cut away the dross of our lives, What do you need cut out today? Are you a racehorse with a stone aggravating your hoof? He will remove it gently. He won't hurt you. You'll be thankful!

This life is a time to choose whom we will serve after it. The moment we pass from this life we no longer have the right to choose Him. That would negate what all who came before, had lived and honoured, chose to follow, who by faith entered into the Sanctification process, with their Saviour Jesus and Holy Spirit, those who had lived by faith without seeing Him in the earth realm. 

They walked by faith not by sight, and that is The Way God has set it, to prove the faith of the saved. And Heaven's inhabitants are the witnesses of those saved souls.

Friend, man is reluctant to change it's ways unless it sees great monetary reward, or develops a lust which become addictive. Those ways of change to our thinking and circumstances, are offered to us from the evil realm. 

Do we know everything? 

We must walk humbly before God Who knows all things. 

Too many humans do not recognise Who God really Is. 

He is not a man that can be overcome by evil.

He came to earth proving He can take on or use anything that He has created; but in whatever form He enters there is always a Perfect Purpose.

Nothing is random with God. Everything He does is Perfect Precision. 

Man on the other hand, has denied His Great Perfection, and met up, joined hands with the prince of the evil power of the air over the earth.

What fools Adam and Eve were, when they took their perfect selves, and made them lower in the eyes of all creation, by entering into a relationship with the Devil, who had made his ugly self look beautiful to fool them who were very beautiful; who spoke cunning words to them as a trap for their souls.

Like naughty toddlers who run to do what their parents have forbid them, as they enjoyed the freedom to choose for themselves, they chose wrongly, a path of knowing evil; believing what the "being" in the tree had told them, when God Himself who they walked and talked with in the evenings, who they loved and depended on, their Father, had said, do not partake of any fruit from that tree right there. 

In that moment of agreeing with the devil; that God did not mean what He said, but spoke an untruth to them, they changed the course of their lives, and all of their generations to come. Evil through them entered mankind for the length of it's existence on the earth.

They were at odds with The Law under which they were created. This was the consequence of disobedience. They instantly were aware of their nakedness. They instantly were afraid of the meeting later with The Father. They were unlawfully in The Garden. Now they would be conflicted as to who to listen to. God or the Devil. He had gained acess to their minds and would quickly settle in their hearts like poison.

And here we are today. Continually being born, souls entering newborns, to live a life of pain, sorrow, trial and tribulation all brought about by the first couple who disobeyed God.

They ushered in a new default for mankind when they joined ranks with Satan. God had warned them. Only one thing! Do not eat of that fruit from that tree. Everything else is yours to play with. Stay away from that tree.

(For an unknown reason to us who did not need to know, Satan was allowed to exist in that tree which bore Satanic fruit.)

They changed the course of what God had prepared for us, and by Law which holds all things together, we were on a differnt trajectory for evil cannot live with Good. It was exiled from Heaven, and mankind with it, since that moment in the Garden, when Adam and Eve placed faith in what the devil said and rebuffed what God had told them.

We can easily understand today because we too are infected. But at that time, Adam nor Eve were yet infected with evil. They were Pure and had no need to even listen to Satan. 

Today, if someone tells me there is a snake over there big enough to devour me, I will not go in that area. Any normal person gives it a wide berth. And if it calls to me with sweet words. I will not go.

But Eve, having free will, did listen to that being in the tree. How many times before eating the fruit did she "play" with that being? Words to and fro till one day she felt "safe" to take the fruit?

The great beguiler had struck! His mission to defile mankind was a success. His jealousy of us whom God lovingly created and placed in The Garden was satiated. We were doomed and the heart of God was wounded. He had claimed mankind, flesh and soul for Himself. Satan was joyous.

And by that decision, mankind is at odds with God. Yet God by His Perfect Law, had to allow things to play out according to the choices we made. It's not something He wasn't prepared for, because His Law is Perfect, and governs what all things do; the reaction to our choices are built into The Law. 

But God, loving what He as The Word created, and by His Law, came to earth to make A Way where there was no Way before. He made a New Covenant with mankind, via The Cross that would be a symbol of His Great Love for us for all time.

But how to circumvent evil? How to enter earth silently. How to let the faithful know He would rescue their souls?

God grew up Prophets to guide His chosen nation to write to His people to give them Hope. They wrote prophecies about the coming of God to set them free.That was The Word at work in the affairs of mankind, working in the framework of The Law.

The Old Testament, The First Covenant was based solely on Law and man obeying to the full in order to be redeemed after death.

But God always had a Plan to Redeem all mankind, not just the chosen few. He needed them to be following His Instructions; to be following all the dietary Laws, the Holy living practices, so that He could come into their midst as a babe. He needed a Virgin and a step father to Himself who would raise Him, and who loved and obeyed The Law.

And as these Purposes of God were happening, life for mankind all over the world was going on. Those tribes were growing in numbers, but they were all fully taken over by evil ways, beliefs, and practices.

They invented their own gods and idols to worship with the unseen help of demonic forces. Satan was having a geat time growing his army of followers. They sacrified their own to Satan; their most pure, the babies, their most beautiful virgins, even their most strong young men. Satan was killing off the best of mankind and we willingly agreed with him! 

Just as we do today. We give to Satan our babies through abortion. Yes, Satan has fooled us and told us lies about our purposes on earth. He says it is to enjoy our life to the fullest no matter the cost to others; kill that baby it's going to keep you from having the things you deserve!

Even so, God will Forgive. Satan doesn't want us to know that. 

The sins committed after we are saved are the worst, yet repentance at the moment we are convicted we sinned, does bring us Forgiveness because He will mentor us through life and is faithful to Forgive a truly repentant heart and mind. He tells us to lean on Him and He will be our Strength for the battles as we make our way in life.

All He asks for is that we be faithful to Him. 

In Revelation I have read over a hundred times that God is my Friend. In fact all through The Bible we find references to friendship between God and mankind.

Rev. 3:20 Here I Am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My Voice and opens the door, I Will come in and eat with him, and he with Me.

The Word of God (Jesus The Son) is saying to us today that He Is standing at the door to our heart. AND, He Is knocking!

Perhaps, He Is saying, to you right now, "Hello, May I come in?" Perhaps, it's "Here I Am. Do you need a Friend?" Or "I heard you needed someone to talk to. I'm here to talk."

He is a Caring Friend. He is an Understanding Friend. He is a Forgiving Friend. He Is Gentle and Kind to those who call upon His Name.

John 15:15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know His Master's Business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father, I have made known to you.

This fact is a major Truth. We are so loved by Him, that He has made known to mankind everything The Father has taught Him. He wants to have with us the same relationship that He has with The Father.

We learn these new Holy Truths as we remain faithful and are tested in the small things at the beginning of our walk with our Friend. These Truths strengthen us our faith. They give us a Purpose and a Path to follow. 

All the saved are called to serve in The Kingdom as witnesses to God's Saving Power, Love, Law, Grace and Mercy. To tell others whom God calls "lost" about the Glorious Magnificence of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, The Trinity Godhead. And to prove to them that Forgiveness of prior unbelief and sins committed in that period of unbelief are wholly Forgiven. 

When we come into the Knowledge of Who God Is; we no longer wish to sin, for all sin is against Him Who Is Perfect; and we are convicted in our spirit when we do so. When this happens, The Holy Spirit Who Is with us always, is offended and gently reminds us that we are not our own like we once were. He urges us to confess, and repent of that wickedness.

When we do that, God is faithful to forgive us. And that is because we willingly have confessed and expressed to Him our desire to be rid of that sin. He will remove it and make us clean again.

However we do not want to be one who continually and habitually succumbs knowing they will quickly repent to get back in the Good Grace of The Father. We must remember that we cannot fool God. He knows the intent of the heart and mind.

He forgives us when we are truly repentant and faithful desiring of pleasing Him, and ridding our self of the abomination.

After all Jesus crucified our sin nature at The Cross. It is we who have run back to it, wilfully. God cannot allow that unto Himself. It must be immediately cut off. Renpent and ask for Forgivenence.

A repentent heart He will Holy Forgive.

Friend the most important aspect of our existence on earth to God The Father, is our soul.

He gave us each a part of Himself to be the "oil" of our life. The flesh and all it's organs need a residing soul to keep it alive.

When the soul leaves, we are dead indeed.

So He protects that part of Himself. It is to the soul He has guaranteed a life. And likewise the soul needs the flesh to survive, in order to fulfill it's Purpose.

God sustains the righteous because they believe in Him, because they trust in His Mighty Power over all things.

And He watches over us who love Him, because we are aligned with His Purpose. The Word of God says He will protect those who acknowlege His Name; He will answer those who call upon Him by Name; Father God.

We can run to Him for refuge from the wicked, from the pestilences, the worries of the world brought about by evil.

In Psalms, King David tells us by The Holy Spirit and The Word, that He holds Victory over evil; for us who love Him, and who walk uprightly against evil attacks, as a Holy Mighty, Powerful, Shield; and He guards the course we take in life; and protects the way we go, because of our faithfulness to Him.

He is a Hiding Place for us in times of attack and trials. He sings songs of deliverance over us as we rest in Him, trusting and obeying His Will for us. 

He is faithful to do all these marvellous things for His beloved children. 

When evil stands before us with it's army, accusing, lying, casting stones at us, He rises up to guard and protect, and the sight of His Majesty, Power, Splendour surrounding us, sends them scurrying away, in fear for what He has the Power to do to them.

Yes, He protects us!

Evil never protects us. It's always attacking us.

Whom shall you serve? 

Make your choice today.

Friend, so many of us are suffering in myriads of ways. Our bodies and our finances, our relationships and our mental health. We're in strife with neighbours, co-workers friends and family. We're sick, we're tired and exhausted, we're addicted, and have no friends, abandoned by family.

The Bible tells us that these predicaments are all perpetrated on us by the evil realm; it's devil and his followers. But yet The Bible also tells us that, that same devil ruler cannot do anything unless we, in even the tiniest, the slightest of ways, give him our ear.

Our children are vulnerable and they need our prayers, our full attention. They need us teaching them right from wrong. It is our responsibility to grow them up with loving care for their soul and their future. When we leave them to their own devices, little demons come in and "play" with them, teaching and confusing them. 

God says in Matthew 23:15 (paraphrasing) Woe unto the hypocritic leaders (pharisees and scribes) who full of evil, compass about seas and land, seducing souls and making them twofold more evil than themselves. (God knows what they do and who each entity is.)

However today, right now any one of us has the right to know they don't have to be a partner with evil demons. We have to realise though that that is what we have been unknowingly in some cases, doing; according to God Who knows all things. 

Matthew 22:1-14

And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables, and said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again he sent forth other servants, saying, "tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise. And the remnant (others) took his servants, and entreated them spitefully and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.Then he said to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden, were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid them to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways , and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment: and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. FOR MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN."

This story is a representation of and by Jesus The Son of God, and The Marriage Supper which will take place in Heaven. The Father has sent His Servant, Jesus, to tell us about The Kingdom of Heaven, and the Wedding in which we're all invited to partake.

We have to give our answer now. The Father will prepare our Wedding Garment. 

Do you see what happens to all who ignore the invitation? There's Heavenly Protocol to be respected and obeyed just as we do with our Royal families here on earth. 

Those who ignore show their contempt, their selfishness, their lack of thankfulness for their life, for the invitation. They've been deceived by the evil demons which roar around seeking to destroy us; who keep us blinded to The Goodness of God. Yet God knows we allow them access because we love our lusts more than we love Him, Who will not join us in evil, nor allow His Kingdom to be contaminated. 

He keeps it contained for a time but has a due date for it's demise. Which may be closer than we think. After all, the people didn't heed Noah's warnings, nor The Baptist's advice, of, Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.  Jesus would in a few months be baptised by him!

Contemplate these things. It is Holy Knowledge that many have not heard as yet. Say, "Yes, Lord," and follow the Spirit's lead for your life.

Matthew 15:13

Every plant, which My Heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

People read this today and many do not understand what Jesus was saying to the Disciples. They had come from hearing what the Pharisees and scribes were saying about the sermon He had given to the five thousand we hear about in The Bible. The Pharisees were offended by this and that, and the above statement was given to the Disciples, by Jesus when they told Him the Pharisees were offended.

Jesus was saying that these people, the religous leader Pharisees, would be pulled up by the roots like a weed, and thrown away by God. Jesus said that not every "plant" or we may interpret, preacher/religious leader of today, has been planted by God. In other words, they don't have an affiliation with God. They have some head knowledge from reading but the interpretation of Holy Scripture is not of God, and they are leading foolish people who want to reach God by their own means, astray. They don't represent God. God does not know them. Their work to gather followers will not be recognised.

The usual culprit or type of wording these types use to gain followers is to tell people how to work towards pleasing God. It's entirely "works based religion." Jesus abolished that at The Cross; because that was always a problem. Look at Cain and Abel.

It is up to each soul to determine the Righteousness of what they hear. God says to search the Scriptures to find The Truth regarding what people are teaching, and to look deeply into the works they are doing. Are they teaching rightly, the Word of God?

This is not to say one should never work towards pleasing God. Rather, it's a matter of the heart and mind, humbled to do what God asks of us. That's obedience.

Jesus then departed that area and walked with Disciples to the coasts of Tyre and Sidon - non Jewish villages.

Matthew 15:22

And, behold, a woman of Caanan came out of the same coasts, and cried to Him, saying, Have Mercy on me, O Lord, Thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But He answered her not a Word. And His Disciples came and besought Him, saying, "Send her away; for she crieth after us." But He answered and said, "I Am not sent, but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

Then she came and worshipped Him, saying, "Lord help me." But He answered and said, "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the dogs." And she said, "Truth, Lord. Yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their Master's table." Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto you even as thou want." AND HER DAUGHTER WAS MADE WHOLE FROM THAT VERY HOUR.

Here we find much information about why Jesus came to earth; who He came for, and how an unbeliever can be converted to belief in The Heavenly Father and Son, by The Holy Spirit working in it's heart and mind.

We read of a desperate Canaanite woman who had a mentally unstable daughter, hearing of His miracles, deciding for herself that there is a God, Who Is walking among the people of Israel, teaching and performing miracles, Who Is within walking distances of her village. She sets out with her mentally ill daughter to find Him. 

She finds Him walking along the coastline and she works her way through the throngs of people, and Disciples (we know she has already vexxed them with her pleadings to talk with Him,) to present her daughter for healing.

It appears the Disciples, like bodyguards of today have kept her back, for she is not a child of Israel.

But she knows in her heart that if she can talk to Him, she will recieve her Miracle.

She cries out, "Have Mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David." Jesus hears this Truth. It's from an unbeliever.

She got nothing. BUT she was undeterred. She drew closer and called Him, "Lord."  She asked Him, to help her.

He told her His Truth. "IT IS NOT MEET TO TAKE THE CHILDREN' S BREAD, AND CAST IT TO THE DOGS." 

This seems harsh. But this gives us an indication of why some prayers do not get answered. The person asking has not surrendered their heart to Him. They just want the door of the candy shop opened so they can raid it of all it's goods, without saying thanks to the Candymaker. Even so  they'll go out and sell the stolen candy to gain riches, knowing the buyers will not receive The Kingdom of God.

But this woman's heart and mind were in agreement! He was Lord! She believed in The Kingdom, The One True God of the Israelites. She knew this because of the stories of His healing miracles performed for the Jews; and the travellers who told their news about His teachings as they traversed the land with their goods to sell. And she knew He was King of the Jews, not of her tribe.

She understood He was her only Hope for her daughter to be cured. She would believe for her daughter's sake. She would endure ridicule and exile from her people for her daughter's sake.

Then we hear Jesus say to her, "Great is thy faith; be it unto you even as thou asked." In other words, "your request is granted because of your faith." Matthew records that her daughter was "made whole" at that hour of her encounter with Jesus. 

Imagine the people she spoke to about this! The people and family who knew her daughter all bore witness!

This Truth spoken of in Matthew like many others, is a witness to us today.

What have you learned? What is your "need?" Who are you in this story? Will you break through the unbelief, the group you hang with today, the naysayers, and ask Him for Holy Forgiveness, healing, provision, grace, mercy? By your own will, can you walk away?

She was at the point of being unafraid because her need was so great, and it caused her to reassess in her mind. She saw Him, His gentleness, His Power, His Truth. She matched it by boldly coming forth to stand in His Presence, in front of the large crowd, and speak of her need; understanding that only He could help her.

Will you do that today? Meditate on this Bible Truth about Jesus, Lord, Saviour and make a decision.

Friend, the worst place in life to be; is to think and believe, that our own self is not in need of Holy Forgiveness.

To think this way is to believe that we are just blobs of flesh scrambling around trying to gather food and lodging for ourselves on a daily basis.

But this life is more than that!

Agnosticism is a type of thinking that denies there is One God, a Creator, One Who rules and judges us; because He owns the soul within the flesh.

Though, it's hard to deny there is an entity within the flesh (soul,) that reasons with the world. Most would agree there is "something within" that we wrestle with for dominion status. Mind over heart, Flesh over heart. Good thoughts versus angry, bad, evil thoughts. Flesh or soul - which wins?

There are some in the world who are like Abraham of old, before Moses, who was aware of his soul, and Who had given that unique soul to him; who believe there is One God for these same reasons, yet they still need a Saviour, because this alone does not save, since Christ came. We have a New Covenant now and Abraham was under the Old Covanant where righteousness before The Law, gained access to God.

He believed and had faith there was One God. Because he was descended from Seth the third child of Adam, and the knowledge he had that was passed down from the family of Seth, that his ancestor Adam, was the first man, and that he, Adam, had personally interacted with God, in The Garden of Eden. And God also saw and approved of Abraham's faith, displayed in the understanding that all things around him were created and operated according to God's timing; like the sun and moon rising and falling in perfect harmony, the rains coming, the palms producing their bounty of dates, the vines offering their grapes and so forth; these things were Gifts for humanity from God that Abraham accepted as fact and Abraham prospered because of his belief and righteous state before God.

So The Bible shows us Abraham didn't just accept that all the life around him just happens to be; but he attributed it all to God; and rightly so, for God called him Righteous just by his faith in believing God Is, and God Is Good.

There are not many among us today who have that kind of faith. We accept these things to be ours for using and abusing. We expect more and better. We destroy to extinction. We give no thought to God. We give no thanks. We don't even respect Him. Many make jokes about Him.

So for all those types of disrespectful things we need to be Forgiven by Him Who Is Law and does not break His Own Law. Perfection cannot take unto Itself, imperfection by Law. Imperfect beings have to be somehow saved from their Debt and renewed, cleansed, 

Has your mind caught a glimpse yet of the Magnificence of Creation? It's Perfect, yet this earth has become infected with original sin; the denial of God's Perfection and the earth and it's inhabitants even the ground and trees are imperfect, not operating in complete Holy Lawful Harmony.

We all need to stop the wheel of the Grist Mill that is the life we are inhabiting, for at least, a moment of stillness. We need to examine our own heart to understand the deceitfulness and wickedness of it. We need to look up as an ant to the GIANT about to squash it in the Grist Mill because it is of no value whatsoever anymore. It's just chaff for the wind to blow away.

We need to call out. "God, stop the Grist Mill, I want to be saved!"

God I am a wicked thinker! I think evil thoughts. I hate people, and I am angry for things I can't even explain aymore! I'm mad at You. This life is too hard! I blame You for all my troubles. Why am I here!

Okay, say it all to God. Then listen. Look up to the sky. Watch the constant changing of it. At night see the constellations move on by. If another creature was on that tiny distant star, lit up and sparkling, would it see you laying on the grass looking up at the sky? Would it, friend?

No, that's how insignificant we are on this earth. Humble yourself before The One Who Designed it all; Who gave life to the flesh, who gave it a soul, and the lungs filled and the heart started beating. 

You are alive. God made a Holy Lawful Way for you to be Forgiven. He gave to humanity His Own Son as a Sacrifice to redeem us back to Himself from whence our soul comes. Any who accept His Sacrificial Offering, The Holy Blood shed for us, we may give thanks.

A Quote from D.A. Carson

If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, He would have sent an economist. If He had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or artist. If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician, if he had perceived that our greatest need was health, he would have sent us a doctor. But He perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from Him, our profound rebellion, our death; and He sent us a Saviour.
