PANIC is demonic

 Isaiah 41:10

King James Version

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: 

be not dismayed; for I am thy God: 

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; 

yea, I will uphold thee 

with the right hand of my righteousness.

Many have no idea who, or what, causes fear in us.

Is it a real person, or an "entity"?

Is it just circumstances?

Or is there more?

Find out as you keep reading.

Panic is understandable.

But it can be destructive.

Panic sets in when you feel everything's out of control.

That you don't have power over anything.

That you're sheep being led to your slaughter.

That everything is useless, hopeless, fruitless.

That everything will fall upon your head.

So, your mind imagines all sorts of things.

Literally taking the better of you.

And surely, nothing ever positive.

Obviously not a healthy way to live.

Hardly productive, and proactive.

Creating unnecessary stress upon you.

And surely upon others, too.

Especially if you've gone overboard.

And no one can speak sense into you anymore.

Your whole body shutting down.

Your whole system refusing to function.

What good would that do, for yourself, and others?

Instead of being a solution, you became the problem.

When there's already a problem you need to deal with.

You added yourself to it.

How can you possibly function?

How can you help?

How can you be of use to others?

You can't.

You have become your own additional problem.

In these end times, all the more we need GOD.

Only He has power over EVERYTHING.

Romans 13:1 

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject 

unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be are ordained of God.

Further, we are battling against forces that aim to destroy us.

In whatever way it can.

Especially bombarding our "temples".

The body is the "TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT".

Expect non-stop attack from CHRIST's enemy.

Encompassing both believers, and non-believers alike.

Boy, how the enemy would want you destroyed!

You have no idea his ways, means, and methods.

But we've written about that here.

We are all in spiritual warfare every moment.

Satan looks for a loophole.

A weakness in you.

An opening wherein he can corrupt.

He doesn't do anything to you that he's not already seen.

A certain weakness.

A penchant.

A predisposition.

A lust.

Many are not physically, psychologically, and emotionally equipped to fight his attacks.

But the true born again is equipped for such a battle.

We have the WORD of GOD to protect us, and keep us on track.

We have Scripture to feed our soul.

As constant attacks are upon our soul.

Especially when you're "asleep" in your soul.

And yes, when you sleep for the night.

When "attacked", say the simplest, childlike prayer:

"Please help me, GOD!"

When you're not with, and of GOD, you're vulnerable to such attacks.

You won't have the proper "arsenal", or protection.

Confusion will set in.

Panic will follow.

Chaos is the result.

You will literally unleash your own hell.

You can cause harm upon others.

You can cause confusion in others.

You can cause panic in others.

Now, it's one whole CAULDRON of collective chaos.

EXACTLY as Satan wanted.

And he didn't even have to lift a finger.

All he did was "play" with your mind.

Feed upon your emotions.

Make you gang up on each other.

Bite each other like rabid dogs.

And yet, nothing gets done.

The problem has not been solved.

Worse, you've all become part of the problem.

You may even lose sight of what the original problem was.

Now, you have more problems to deal with.

Satan's fingerprint, for sure.

What is panic but a whole conflagration of emotions?

You imagine what's not there.

You create what you should not create.

You imagine all sorts of "scenarios".

Your "what ifs" will not stop.

Your mind will collapse upon itself.

Again, EXACTLY as Satan wants.

Of course, he's up to more.

He wants your body to follow.

With your mind out of control, your body will follow suit.

Your system may crash.

You may fall into "shock".

You will allow yourself to.

Just to escape, and not deal with it.

Hoping for someone else to solve it.

You will collapse.

You literally "shut down".

All because you think you can't handle what you think will come.

What do you think will come?

As if you know what will.

Only GOD knows.

That's why JESUS lambasted even His disciples:

Matthew 17:17

King James Version

17 Then Jesus answered and said, 

O faithless and perverse generation, 

how long shall I be with you? 

how long shall I suffer you? 

bring him hither to me.

That's why people get sick.

Mentally, emotionally, and physically.

The body is a beautiful system created by GOD.

But when panic sets in, all come crashing down.

We forget our divine heritage.

Your circuits go haywire.

No amount of talk will get you back.

Only a true born again is equipped to fight this spiritual battle.

Only because we know who "dunnit".

We are equipped to fight such battles.

Relax, and TRUST GOD.

Who knows what's to come, but the LORD?

Who knows Satan's machinations, but the LORD?

Who knows man's weaknesses, but the LORD?

SPIRIT and Scripture tell us all these things.

Find your comfort in CHRIST.

The LORD JESUS offers PEACE.

Not just for the moment, but forever.

A true born again knows JESUS is the ONLY real thing.

He is fulfillment of Scripture.

He is fulfillment of GOD's POWER on earth.

He embodies everything GOD is.

Satan will weave lies, chaos, corruption, deception, and destruction.

He will pit people, against the other.

He will make your mind, mincemeat.

He will laugh at your confusion.

He will gloat over your personal chaos.

He will celebrate when you've "infected" others.

That's how you know he's "gotten into you".

From that point on, you're subject to his influence.

Be not afraid, though.

JESUS cares for each sheep.

Luke 15:3-7

King James Version

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, doth not leave 

the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, 

he calleth together his friends and neighbours, 

saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

or I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, 

that likewise joy shall be in heaven 

over one sinner that repenteth, 

more than over ninety and nine just persons, 

which need no repentance.

John 10:27-28

King James Version

27 My sheep hear my voice, 

and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; 

and they shall never perish, 

neither shall any man pluck them 

out of my hand.

GOD assigned people for JESUS to save.

John 6:37

King James Version

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; 

and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:39

King James Version

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me 

I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.

Beware panic attacks.

That's Satan hooking his filthy claws upon your cranium.

With that very hook, your panic will hook others, too.

Hasn't it been said, "Panic is contagious"?

Now, you're all one triumphant harvest for this dark nemesis.

Only by being born again can you be free.

For you will only trust JESUS.

You will live by the Bible.

Nothing can faze you.

Nothing can cause fear upon you.

Most of all, you're FREE of panic.

Isn't that great comfort for you, or anyone?

FIND your FAITH in JESUS, dear friends!

He is our ONLY HOPE.

On ENDING confusion

 Ezra 9:7

King James Version

7 Since the days of our fathers have we been

 in a great trespass unto this day; 

and for our iniquities have we, 

our kings, and our priests, been delivered 

into the hand of the kings of the lands, 

to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, 

and to confusion of face, 

as it is this day.

We are in very dangerous days, indeed.

These are the days of confusion.

With Satan having a heyday.

Putting his spirit in people.

In unbelievers.

In vain people.

In proud people.

In rebellious people.

In those wanting to believe anything, BUT GOD.

The world is a land of darkness.

Job 10:22

King James Version

22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; 

and of the shadow of death, without any order, 

and where the light is as darkness.

Where there is no light.

No truth.

No love.

Scripture describes the state of the world then, and today.

It really hasn't changed.

You need only look around you.

You can call these "signs of the end times":

Genesis 6:5

King James Version

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man 

was great in the earth, 

and that every imagination 

of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.

Isaiah 5:20

King James Version

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; 

that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; 

that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

John 8:44-45

King James Version

44 Ye are of your father the devil, 

and the lusts of your father ye will do. 

He was a murderer from the beginning, 

and abode not in the truth, 

because there is no truth in him. 

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: 

for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, 

ye believe me not.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

King James Version

3 This know also, 

that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, 

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, 

disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, 

false accusers, incontinent, fierce, 

despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, 

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, 

but denying the power thereof: 

from such turn away.

And a very telling, current sign?

A candidate has been put in place.

To create chaos in the U.S.

To confuse people, and mock GOD.

2 Timothy 3:6-7

King James Version

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, 

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, 

led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, 

and never able to come 

to the knowledge of the truth.

The most telling sign?

The world has gone against Israel.

They've ganged up on this tiny nation of GOD.

With the intent of completely annihilating her.

As if that would ever happen.

JESUS warned His 12 disciples what to expect:

Matthew 10:22

King James Version

22 And ye shall be hated of all men 

for my name's sake: 

but he that endureth to the end 

shall be saved.

But GOD has the last say about Israel:

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee: 

and in thee shall all families of the earth 

be blessed.

Unless you're born again, a believer in JESUS, devoted to His WORD, you will continue to hurt, mock, defy, and destroy everything GOD loves.

That's precisely how to identify the cause of confusion:

EVERYTHING the LORD loves, 

Satan hates.

What to do in these terrible, dark days which only keep getting darker?

Look to GOD for clarity.

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, 

as in all churches of the saints.

Look to JESUS for truth.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came 

by Jesus Christ.

Look to SPIRIT for liberty.

2 Corinthians 3:17

King James Version

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, 

there is liberty.

It's really all so simple.

Scripture tells us what to believe in.

That is, if you're really tired of lies, deception, and confusion.

And want to believe in something true, and real.

Turn away from what the world offers.

They merely offer the same.

Just packaged differently.

Delivered through new "avenues".

Offering pretty much the same type of "dish" --

A host of personalities who have been sold, bought, and paid for.

Who spew out venom against GOD, and His followers.

Who continue to confuse the issue -- any issue.

It's open season for confusion.

Satan's agenda is chaos, cruelty, and confusion.

In total contrast to what GOD's ways are.

The LORD's plan is SALVATION.

He cares about every one of us.

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

John 10:10

King James Version

10 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.

2 Peter 3:9

King James Version

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

Know who you serve.

Know who you've given you heart to.

Know who you've given your allegiance to.

Know what you promote.

Be aware of the consequences.

Be awake, alert, and alive in CHRIST.

Your salvation, and survival, is in your choices.

Philippians 2:12

King James Version

12 Wherefore, my beloved, 

as ye have always obeyed, 

not as in my presence only, 

but now much more in my absence, 

work out your own salvation 

with fear and trembling.

If you care about your family, and your family's survival, you will do the RIGHT thing.

TURN to GOD now.

PARADOX of PEACE

 The LORD JESUS declared:

Luke 12:51

King James Version

51 Suppose ye that I am come 

to give peace on earth? 

I tell you, Nay; 

but rather division:

Did we understand that verse right?

That JESUS came to "give" division?

Isn't He the "Prince of Peace"?

That's what this article will explore.

To many, it's confusing.

To a born again, it's clear.

We always turn to SPIRIT.

Who teaches us about Scripture.

First, the prophecy:

Isaiah 9:6

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

That makes JESUS, "The Prince of Peace".

For Him to be sent by GOD means the world was in a critical state.

Luke 19:9-10

King James Version

9 And Jesus said unto him, 

This day is salvation come to this house, 

forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save 

that which was lost.

Man being "lost", meant he did not know the laws of GOD.

Or he did, but forgot, tried to forget, or simply didn't want to obey.

Man went about his way, thinking he knew what was right.

Judges 21:25

King James Version

25 In those days there was no king in Israel: 

every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

But what is right to man, isn't necessarily right with GOD.

Proverbs 16:9

King James Version

9 A man's heart deviseth his way: 

but the Lord directeth his steps.

The stench of sin must have greatly angered GOD.

He decided to send His SON, once and for all.

People thought the MESSIAH would bring "peace".

That was the end goal.

First, the "mess".

The MESSIAH was there for man's "mess".

He needed to wake us up, each and every one of us.

He showed us our foaming "filth".

Galatians 5:19-21

King James Version

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, 

which are these; 

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, 

emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, 

revellings, and such like: 

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.

In any "house cleaning", JESUS tells us what to expect:

Luke 12:52-53

King James Version

52 For from henceforth there shall be 

five in one house divided, 

three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son, 

and the son against the father; 

the mother against the daughter, 

and the daughter against the mother; 

the mother in law against her daughter in law, 

and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Such divisions are representative of what goes on in a family, a community, an organization, a country, and in the world.

To have peace, we need JESUS.

That He may help us deal with the "mess".

It will cause divisions among us.

Beliefs will be challenged.

Norms will be challenged.

The status quo will be challenged.

That's what the "division" is all about.

To this day, each man's "house cleaning" is not done.

We need to be a true born again.

So we'll be at it, every single day.

Making sure we're ready for the Rapture.

Because no way would wee want to be in the Tribulation.

And no way will we want to continue sinning.

It is totally abhorrent to a true believer in CHRIST.

Especially our LORD gave up His life on the cross.

We'd be so ashamed to ever sin again.

It cost the LORD so much.

1 Corinthians 6:20

King James Version

20 For ye are bought with a price: 

therefore glorify God in your body, 

and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Peter 1:18-21

King James Version

18 Forasmuch as ye know 

that ye were not redeemed 

with corruptible things, 

as silver and gold, 

from your vain conversation 

received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, 

as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 Who verily was foreordained 

before the foundation of the world, 

but was manifest in these last times for you,

21 Who by him do believe in God, 

that raised him up from the dead, 

and gave him glory; 

that your faith and hope 

might be in God.

Only through JESUS can we have PEACE.

He is "Prince of Peace".

We remain in "pieces", unless we believe in Him.

Our WHOLENESS relies upon JESUS alone.

Our healing comes from Him.

We need to repent, and believe His gospel.

We need to live a life worthy of the LORD.

We need to LIVE by His WORD.

We need to love GOD, self, and each other, as we ought to.

You would want to have everlasting life, wouldn't you?

The fact JESUS will return means one thing:

Again, we are in dire straits.

Our mess continues.

This time, the house cleaning will be for good.

And PEACE will finally prevail.

Revelation 22:1-5

King James Version

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, 

clear as crystal, 

proceeding out of the throne of God 

and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, 

and on either side of the river, 

was there the tree of life, 

which bare twelve manner of fruits, 

and yielded her fruit every month: 

and the leaves of the tree 

were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: 

but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; 

and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; 

and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; 

and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; 

for the Lord God giveth them light: 

and they shall reign for ever and ever.

What WHOLENESS means

 

Psalm 130:5

King James Version

5 I wait for the Lord, 

my soul doth wait, 

and in his word do I hope.

Is the world whole?

It's not.

It's broken.

How can we say that?

If the world was whole, there would be peace.

Everyone would believe in JESUS.

Everyone would love GOD.

Everyone would listen to SPIRIT.

But it is a broken world.

To each his own.

Following the dictates of Satan.

Refusing to believe in the LORD JESUS.

Intellect rules.

Wealth rules.

The elite rule.

Beauty rules.

Business rules.

Money rules.

The poor are forgotten.

The world makes no room for CHRIST.

Only self, I, me, mine.

Why the world is broken:

Colossians 2:8

King James Version

8 Beware lest any man spoil you 

through philosophy and vain deceit, 

after the tradition of men, 

after the rudiments of the world, 

and not after Christ.

Only JESUS can fix it:

Colossians 2:9-10

King James Version

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10 And ye are complete in him, 

which is the head of all principality 

and power:

Man's broken systems cannot fix the broken world.

Our minds are not whole.

Our hearts are not whole.

Our spirits are not whole.

Our intentions are not whole.

Our vision is not whole.

We all have holes in our spirit, which allow evil to step in.

We need to have the mind of CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 2:16

King James Version

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, 

that he may instruct him? 

but we have the mind of Christ.

With all the fame, fortune, and face, why aren't people happy?

Why do they continue to aspire for more?

Why do industries, and professions, continue to spawn more industries, and professions?

It has become one big, money-making machine.

A never-ending cycle of discontent.

And destruction.

Perpetual vanity.

With no one getting the wiser.

With no one getting better.

With no one getting happier.

Are families whole?

Are individuals whole?

Are psychologists whole?

Are psychiatrists whole?

Are physicians whole?

Are their families whole?

Are the richest men, and women, whole?

Or do they have holes in their hearts?

Are they all truly happy?

Being whole means you have peace.

You have love, joy, and contentment.

Your heart is filled with GOD's WORD.

You are nourished by SPIRIT.

You know what to do each moment.

You know the right thoughts to think.

You know the right words to say.

You know the right things to do.

You know the right work to do.

And they always conform to GOD's WILL.

That's what really makes you happy.

There are no guessing games.

You know things, for certain.

That it is ALL for GOD, and others.

Never for self.

The world is not whole because it refuses to accept that.

At every point, and turn, it refuses to obey GOD.

Joy comes from being born again.

Joy comes from knowing GOD's will.

Joy comes from knowing your purpose in life.

Joy comes from knowing your work pleases the LORD.

Joy comes from total obedience to GOD.

Happiness at work makes you feel whole.

Because you know your work has true purpose.

That you haven't sold your soul, for ambition.

The whole person will never sell his soul.

Not for any price.

Not for any reward.

Not for any person.

Mark 8:36

King James Version

36 For what shall it profit a man, 

if he shall gain the whole world, 

and lose his own soul?

What good is success, if you lose direction?

Or if you've lost self?

Or lost your precious family?

Or your faithful friends?

Outward success will merely be a "pyrrhic victory".

An empty sense of victory.

Which is no victory at all.

"A Pyrrhic victory (/ˈpɪrɪk/ ⓘ PIRR-ik) is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat."

-- Wikipedia

But this I can tell you, for certain.

When GOD makes you born again, you will be whole.

You will know how to live, love, work, serve, and exist.

Your life will have true meaning, in the deepest sense of the word.

That's actually what people are looking for.

"Meaning."

Many rich, and famous, people have empty lives.

Sad lives.

Lonely lives.

Painful lives.

Chaotic lives.

Lives full of betrayal.

They sit at long tables, lording it over others.

They have meals at long tables, with all the stiff formality.

And yet another family can be eating the simplest meal elsewhere.

In a forgotten part of the world.

Having much joy, ribbing, and laughter.

Not glued to gadgets.

Not shutting out each other.

Not anxious to leave the table.

But having real laughter among themselves.

They do not look for what's not there.

They make do, with what's available.

They thank GOD for everything.

The children are taught about GOD.

They are taught values, and principles.

They are taught GOD's commands.

They are taught timeless principles for life.

They have sure, strong, steady foundations to live on.

And they teach the same to their kids.

If they do decide to have families.

Which normally, they would.

Your wholeness springs from what you focus on.

If you focus on JESUS, He will fill your whole universe.

If you focus on what the world thinks you should have, you will feel empty.

Nothing will ever be enough, or satisfactory.

Only JESUS can fill your whole heart with happiness.

Only He can give you the fulfillment you seek.

Only He can give you peace, love, joy, and contentment.

And yes, only He can give you GOD.

But the world continues about its orbit.

Going around in circles, but not really getting anywhere.

While true believers can't get enough of His WORD.

I know what I speak of.

SPIRIT and I have 106 blogs we share with you.

And yet, I've probably barely scraped the surface of GOD's TRUTH.

Not that I mind, for GOD is patient, merciful, kind, and loving.

He knows I'll get there.

By my little efforts each day, I'll get there.

It's in the doing; not just the speaking.

James 1:22

King James Version

22 But be ye doers of the word, 

and not hearers only, 

deceiving your own selves.

My life may be a fragile "bubble".

I'm here one day, then gone the next.

But in that moment I'm around, my wholeness relies on JESUS.

My SAVIOR.

My LORD.

My LOVE.

My LIFE.

My EVERYTHING.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.
