Contemporary Epidemic
Everywhere and in historic abundance. Singularly decisive in driving us from God and each other; Exuding an excessive sense of entitlement, whacked-up, with perverse kicks. Makes me sick. Know my own swilling dosage. Jesus-lacking trash. It's everywhere. So prevalent, somewhat invisible.
'HyperairÅmai' and should not become conceited wrote Paul, describing God's concern and the ongoing response to given revelations and visions. Needing Paul remain on the humble and an exceptional act occurs, in determinedly unanswered prayer and God willing, the sending of trouble.
Paul told, less is more. Note what gets God? The one thing almost, that's most offensive, obnoxious and stupid. Hence the call to be servant of all, give all, do all asked and don't bother try put 'em right. Holy be seen and not heard.
Unless led and if uncertain not: Shut-it. This the discipline must remember.
God doesn't seem to be very present and able in two sets of circumstances; worldly riches and corresponding pride.The good news is we can see this and find progressive deliverance. Not easy to do much about money and power. Although thankfully and paradoxically, steadily being robbed because of... our conceit. And the controlling authorities, de-ceit .
Somewhere the tide will turn. And God willing, through some hardy souls, a rise up...
This off-load and project being right over someone. Or peoples. Terrible thing. May well be wrong but superior rules -- and subconsciously convincing ourselves, heats the bones. Like lust but in hate-for and outrageous self-deception. Media modeled and two-fingers up, spitting at God.
The need to hurt-out, reject, ignore, despise, dismiss, puff-up, pretend and feign kindness and care. Frankly, spew, destruction. Project and transfer from our sitting-above deception.
A big mostly-why the Church is so inept and numerically declining. Killing laws and traditions. The word that's death not life.
Healthy self-esteem. Nonsense, tis sick deception. For instance, it's the root that keeps the 99% locked into believing fake terror and underestimating elite sexual child abuse. These twin beasts of the apocalypse.
Unwilling to investigate but hold an opinion, confirms the need to bolster and blinker up. Led by the nasty ones on TV and authority bosses. If they don't make us instantly and perpetually nauseous, we have no useful social-based discernment.
Paul knows what's needed, presumably wouldn't manage this without trouble and finding more...God, more... grace. And openness to God.
Being in self-righteous danger, where oh where art thou? Very hard to find. Any-where. Anyone-much, different? We all seem deep in the swamp. If like me, amazed at this contemporary epidemic, this a start and repentance.
Garbled and incoherent post eh? Yup, but without being aware of an audience, these be messages for me. To God, with perhaps here and there, a touch of the prophetic.
KEY summery; We don't give all and God's way, because we're relating to people like they are... below us and yet, our saviours.
Obsessive looking to God, then maybe, we can escape the prevailing crap that surrounds.
and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch.
