“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. [*2 Peter 1: 3, 4 (KJV)]”
“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father… [*Galatians 1: 3, 4 (KJV)]”
“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry… [*1 Corinthians 10: 12-14 (KJV)]”
The corruption that is in This Present Evil World, exists only because of our lusts, and pride. Yet we remain in denial about these things; because our problems are always someone else’s fault, aren’t they, and have nothing to do with where we are setting our affections and mind, attention? Eliminate our lusts and pride, and there is no more corruption. And what is powerful enough to do such a thing?… striking, polarizing, mesmerizing, hypnotizing?? Our country? Our flag? Our natural governments and their vain, self-serving laws? Our useless justice systems that are in the back pockets of the rich and corrupt? Our politicians and celebrities, including our celebrity preachers-sorcerers? Our education and so-called, “higher learning”-degrees? Our denominational methods and belief systems? How about our money, because “money solves everything,” right? But our love of money is the root of all evil, the deifying of “self”! All of these things are a joke. And finally, how about our technology and AI, which we have created through the works of our own hands; all of which, amounts to being nothing more than a mere, mathematical algorithm, equation? We create and worship our own self-serving gods, which are no gods, because the only god whom we actually love and worship today, is the false god of ourselves; which is why we are so anti-Christ, so full of hatred and murder toward one another, unless there is some prospect of personal, financial gain and profit on the horizon in our dealings with one another. There is only one thing that delivers us all from all of these things: the very love of our heavenly Father, which is pouring forth from the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, and being shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, who is freely given unto us. This love of our Father, and toward one another in, and by, and through, and because of The Lamb… beckons unto us all from deep, deep within our spirits; for us all to draw “inwardly near” unto Him with a true heart, and by a simple act of faith, letting go of any and all other forms of our current and preferred, external, outward, vain, superficial, artificial armor that we have been choosing to wear. For we have become as external, outward, vain, superficial, artificial… as the intelligence which we have been worshiping.
