Snares of the Devil

This post will discuss the ways in which satan attempts to infiltrate your life.  Some you may already be aware of, and others it wasn’t so obvious that it was one of his tools, being that he and all who serve him are cowards and therefore without genuine power, they had to try to compensate for that with some very subtle, clever ways to get in and make attempts at claiming the soul.

First and foremost satan makes all kind of effort towards getting you to attack yourself.  Mark 3:25 puts this into a more clear perspective:  “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”  It knows that if it can get you to BELIEVE the lies it is sending your way, you are under his control.  So it will send you things in your thoughts that may go like this, “you are not any good, you are not pretty enough, smart enough, you will never succeed, you should have known better,” ect.  You get the idea.  Being that satan has no real power or authority, EXCEPT THAT WHICH YOU GIVE HIM, he will compensate with instilling those thoughts until you believe them.

 

Then we arrive at what Jesus had declared, “It is done unto you as you believe.”  Beliefs are not always truth, but you can make them TRUE for YOU if you believe in them.  So say you believe the lie that you are not worthy enough of love, then very soon you start experiencing this on the physical level, where people you have to have contact with validate your beliefs for you.  “Have I not said ye are gods,” Jesus declared.  You are all little creators, walking around with your magic wands in your minds creating validating experiences of your beliefs, whether they are truth or not truth, for your life.  Granted, some of these beliefs become the major programs of your life.  So then, can you not see the utter importance of dissecting what you believe and WHY you believe it and then eliminate those that do not align up with truth.  The truth of God is always constructive and loving and if you return to your ability to sense these things, you can use that as a guide as well.  God only lifts up those whom he loves. 

Some may say that they have had a rough life, filled with trials and tribulation.  You may feel that God has turned his back on you, but this is a lie.  God only and forever will LOVE you, no matter what, and his business is forgiveness.  However, if you are JUDGING yourself, living in self-pity, condemnation, guilt, shame and humiliation then you are causing your own grief and it does not serve you to blame God for this.  You are in violation of the above, and it is now being “done unto you as you have believed.”  Stop.  Just stop with all the attack of yourself, and humble yourself in the Lord.  I can name a thousand reasons why we may find ourselves in any of those conditions, but I promise you, those are lower vibrational states which make you easily controlled and a slave to satan.  In my own experience of surviving my family with all of its incestuous, demented beings, allowing them to formulate beliefs for me that I took as truth (which were unworthiness, self-disgust and that I should be thankful for anyone who would tolerate me), contributed greatly to me attracting more of the same or worse in my life.  This caused me great suffering for many years, until I realized I needed to change my beliefs and align them up with the truths of God.  Now, I am living life in freedom.  I do my best not to resort to self-attack, but rather choose self-love.  It helps to look at all the experiences of life as LESSONS, and I can honestly say that once we learn those lessons they are cleared and no longer repeated.

Here is an exercise to help you identify where you may have some work to do:

Items needed:  favorite pen, journal or notebook, Bible

1.      Find some quiet space where you will not be disturbed for an hour.  Out in nature is a great choice.

2.      Start to quiet your mind, take deep, meaningful breaths and with every exhale mentally state that you are letting go that which no longer serves you, even if you are not consciously aware of it.  Take about 4 minutes to do this, or longer if it feels right for you.

3.      Now, ask God to show you where your primary work is found, and state your willingness to see only the Truth no matter what it looks like.  He may show you your father, mother, grandparents, for you may have taken on their beliefs just from being around them, and they may not be truthful ones.  Write down anything that comes to your mind. 

 

4.      Meditate on how this has contributed to your life experience, more specifically contributed to giving you beliefs that do not serve you.  Focus especially on where you feel it has kept you in prison.  Remember to do this objectively, without any judgement.

5.      Ask God to show you how you can start to change this, and just sit for a moment with this.  Write down any guidance you receive.  He may guide you to start to feel your feelings, or guide you towards forgiveness of yourself.  Just be open to what God is sending you.  Also, remember that if you are “trying too hard” you are closing off your channel of Divine Connection.  If insights do not arrive right away, know that they will eventually come.  Force blocks the connection.  Surrender and trust strengthen it

.

6.      Reflect on Proverbs 18:20-22 to learn how powerful words are, and how destructive the words we tell ourselves can be if not aligned with love and truth.

7.      Commit to clearing out all that keeps you in bondage, and just remain open to any insights that God sends your way.  

8.      Humbly honor yourself for caring enough about you to partake in this exercise, and then extend your gratitude to God. 

 

9.      It is DONE UNTO YOU AS YOU BELIEVE.  May you choose to believe and know that you deserve to be free and are greatly loved.

Good for you in choosing to care enough about yourself to enter through the narrow gate!  It is not easy, doing all this personal work, removing hypocrisy, feeling feelings, acknowledging the truth no matter what it looks like, but to your soul, it is so worth it!!

You are greatly loved!

History is Repeating Itself

Most are aware of the current persecution of Christians going on this planet and how recently it has come back to the forefront via the news and media.  This situation however is NOTHING NEW when one is awake and aware and is able to view things from an objective perspective then seek to go within and discover WHY this is STILL a part of the life experience on this planet.  

It is still here today as it was in the days of old, because souls have not learned to genuinely love on this planet.  Souls here have given great authority to LABELS instead of embracing the UNITY of all things.  They serve LABELS that they use to define themselves or even go so far as to let others do this to them, and then wonder WHY history keeps repeating itself.  It is simply because the lesson has not been learned and therefore NOT CLEARED and will keep coming back until humanity gets it correct.  When humanity stops trying to seek segregation, and embraces unity then we shall clear this ignorance once and for all.  ANY LABEL, such as black, white, latino, american, mother, child, presbyterian, baptist are all useless and force one to define themselves from a very small perspective when they are really so much more than any word could ever convey.  So many are simply living in prisons of their own perspective and suffer greatly for it.  You are NOT what you have done, nor are you what has been done to you.

Then we go on and entertain the thought that maybe an antichrist is coming.  Truth is, the antichrist has been here and is everywhere you go.  It is your government, your banking system, your healthcare, your education system, your judicial system, your law enforcement and your religious institutions.   These are all systems that operate BACKWARDS from what spiritual law conveys and as such is then not in service to God but to satan the coward.  The antichrist is essentially the lack of LOVE and FORGIVENESS that all of those systems capitalize off of.  What type of organism feeds until it kills the host?  Parasites.  Humans have been the smorgasboard buffet of energy to feed the beast and that is the ONLY reason it has been allowed to expand as it has.  However, all is ALWAYS under the LAW of God and this includes satan and his minions and very soon balance is going to be restored here.  They have never had any genuine power, but rather force and nothing achieved via force is sustainable.

Very soon, souls here are going to realize that all of their material possessions mean absolutely nothing.  The 401k that you have been feeding for years is not going to be able to buy your soul freedom, the lavish house you thought was so important will be brought down in mere moments.  The education you went into debt and slavery for is not going to provide you with the soul wisdom that is necessary for your protection.  However by your choosing to go within, aligning up with spiritual truths/law and refusing to feed the beast will be greatly taken into consideration and contributes to the salvation of the soul.

What is satan afraid of the most?  Love.  Truth.  Compassion.  Mercy.  I absolutely love nothing more than to have opportunities to correct evil, and Love is fulfillment of the law.  This, my friends, is why this world has so desperately tried to keep you in a non-loving state.  Because it knows the genuine power associated with Love, the world is not living in harmony with nature and God and anything that is in violation of spiritual law is called on it’s crap when confronted with LOVE.  I used to wonder why it seemed that so often evil was allowed to continue here, and when I finally understood that most souls operate here in a fearful state, or some other spiritual violation like anger or unforgiveness which keeps them under the slavery of satan, it made much more sense as then I could see that very few were living their life with enough integrity, fearlessness and genuine love to hold satan accountable and so like a raging vile plague he was allowed to multiply. 

 

God encourages us to forgive and love.  This does not mean anything else.  You do NOT need to do a single other thing but be genuine and without hypocrisy, fear, or other spiritual law violation (this is also referred to by other modalities as Karma).  Know this, that as long as you are in violation to spiritual law, you will be a slave.  The good news is that this can change at any time when you turn to a spirit of love and forgiveness, which offer you greater protection than you will ever know.  It is the only true safety our souls have here on this barbarically backwards and insane planet.  

Why was it that Jesus could say, “Come unto me, all ye who labor and seek rest.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”  Because he did not have to service his personality and hold any unforgiveness within himself, he CASTED THE BURDEN UNTO THE LORD, for he knew that the LORD (LAW) would meet out whatever injustice or violation with Divine Justice.  Like the best friend you never knew you had, when you turn your life over to the LORD, relinquish fear, self-pity, the need to control everything,  you will be given the protection of the LORD and life will become beautiful, for you will not be wasting your energy trying to compensate for all of your spiritual transgressions but instead be creating a spiritual reserve that is ready to be tapped into whenever needed.  The advancements in your soul are the only attainments that you are going to be able to take with you when the game is over here.  Not your labels, not your worldly accumulations, not your educational accomplishments, not your BMW.  

You have until September to contemplate and  ponder personal change.  The choice is yours alone.  Not even God will violate your Free Will.  After that, things are going to get messy here.  Depending on what provides your life with meaning, that could be viewed as Heaven or it could be viewed as Hell. 

I sincerely hope that you all choose to be free.  

You are greatly loved.

The Real Message of the Life of Jesus Christ

When I read of Jesus in the Bible, I have found great wisdom in the message of his life.  What concerns me however, is how many take the man and glorify his being as if they have nothing holy within themselves.  Jesus did some pretty miraculous things here on Earth, but he also told us that “these things I do, you can do and some greater”, as well as “Have I not said ye are Gods?”  Essentially this post will be my sharing of the wisdom I have gathered from this beautiful soul and his life experience here on Earth.

When we celebrate the holidays which claim to give thanks and gratitude to this man who was filled with such grace, I see that those are really just days created to serve this world.  If one has committed to careful study of his messages in the Bible (and other “lost” scriptures or texts) one can see that he NEVER wanted credit for any of it, for he was not wanting to serve an ego or a personality, which are temporary.  How many times after he healed the masses did he say “go and see that no one knows it?”  Jesus did not need or seek any external validations or ego feeding.  His glory came from God and that was enough.  But humans, in their cleverness, always need credit/validation either for themselves or are giving the credit to another.  ALL GLORY COMES FROM GOD.  Whatever blessings you are receiving in your life, it is because YOU, in some way, have aligned yourself up with the LORD and that is bringing goodness in.  If there is anything in your life that was not obtained through the proper use of the LORD, it will not stay and what does not belong to you rightfully will be taken.  Reflect on these scriptures: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all things shall be added.”  “For it is your Father’s good pleasure to bring you the Kingdom of Heaven.”

What is the Kingdom of Heaven?, I hear you ask.  To my understanding, it is the fertile mind, an open heart combined with authentic self-love and an empty vessel.  God cannot fill a cup that is already full.  We must first empty ourselves, for the Love of God to rush in and fill us up with what is correct, truthful and pure.  Essentially this to me is what is referred to in the Bible as “the second death”.  We must die to ourselves (transcend the ego and personality) before God can come in and open up the Kingdom of Heaven for us.  We must transcend our personalities, which have mostly been brought about by our life experiences and conditioning on this planet, and step into LOVE.

 

Back to the message of Jesus Christ.  I have found that nearly everywhere I read of what Jesus said, I can see and feel the deeper message, which is usually forgiveness.  To tell you the truth, unforgiveness has caused me such great tribulation in this life time, simply because I could not apply it.  All of my pain, all of the violations against my body, mind and spirit, all of the anger kept me in a state of unforgiveness that only magnified more trouble coming in.  What I have learned through my life experience is that I am to forgive, and the act of doing this SHALL SET THE LORD FREE TO HANDLE ALL OF MY CONCERNS, usually in a much better way than my personality ever could.  “The Lord will go out before you and make all the crooked places straight.”  Do you see how this is relevant to the scripture “Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  For my yoke is easy and my BURDEN light.”  Interpretation:  come under FORGIVENESS and let the LORD handle the matter.  You do not need to carry one bit of this around for another second.  Let it go, give it to the LORD (CAST THE BURDEN) and be FREE.  This does require PROFOUND SURRENDER as well as PROFOUND FAITH.  It has taken me my whole life to arrive at this understanding of forgiveness, but it has also been what sets me freer every single day.  It is a daily process for me, as things will come into memory and my work is to cast the burden and not hold it in me personally.  Our work is never done. 

 

You also have the choice of remaining in anger, unforgiveness and self-pity, and your life will reflect that back to you.  Experiences will come into your life in larger ways every time until the lesson of applying forgiveness to the situation is achieved.  Lessons are repeated until they are learned and they get bigger every time so as to get your attention.

I suggest that if you do read the Bible or other sacred texts that you seek to see how Jesus’ life was essentially a loving message on the application of forgiveness, which comes from the proper use of LOVE.  “No one can come unto the Father except through the Son.”  No one can arrive to the Grace of God except through Forgiveness. 

May you all choose to be free.  You are greatly loved.
