What In the World is Happening in Our World? Oh Baby!
James 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
Ever wonder what in the world is happening in our world today?
James 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
“Temptation, the sperm of “anything is possible”, meet the egg of lust, the nature of mankind”… we “saw” that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that it was desirable to make one wise (Genesis 3:4).
Baby making not just a female thing now! The egg of lust is found in each of us, one is consistently sent down the tubes from our “secret ovaries” – the place where we hoard our deepest imaginations of grandeur. It waits in the warmth and fertile conditions of MY KINGDOM COME – MY WILL BE DONE until temptation comes to wiggle and push into the center of the lusty egg!
In a romantic setting of whispered words of “You can have everything you want!” and the candlelight of well wishers sent from the angel of light (i.e. Satan), we dance with temptation and fall in love with the idea IT IS MEANT TO BE and a baby of sin is conceived and birthed when it is fully formed and actionable.
I’m blushing but it truly is a sexual encounter! With ourselves and an enemy that wishes and delights in death and destruction… OUR death and destruction!
Ephesians 6:12 our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
What in the world is happening in our world? Mankind is pregnant with sin!… lust has been conceived, sin is born and raised, death has been brought forth.
Funny thing is, this “baby” actually does cause death (wages of sin is death). One would think EVERYONE would RUN to the nearest abortion clinic BEFORE their life is in ruins. Unfortunately, when we feel the hormones of our flesh, look into the “eyes” of the unicorn of delight, and know without a doubt this baby will solve EVERY problem in my life and the life of my world, we do not seek to kill this potential unborn prodigy of health – wealth – and all that is wise.
What in the world is happening in our world? Death and destruction! God has been kicked out of our government, our schools, our churches, and most importantly out of every area our hearts!
There is no excuse… Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, God has ALWAYS been transparent!
But mankind… Romans 1:22-23 even though they we knew God, they we did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they we became futile in their our speculations, and their our foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they we became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Therefore… God gave them us over (allowed us to have our free will) in the lusts of their our hearts to impurity, so that their our bodies would be dishonored among them. Romans 1:24
They We exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature. (Romans 1:25) We kicked God out of our government, our schools, our religions, our churches, and most importantly, our hearts!
What in the world is happening in our world? Hate filled warfare against the love of God! Our world is in deep deep sh– I mean TROUBLE! The hate is palatable! Unity in love is all but impossible with the demand of total agreement as we assume the role of jury, judge AND executioner. In hate, we no longer acknowledge our common humanity (there but by the grace of God go I) with each other. In hate, we no longer accept the responsibility to love our neighbor as ourselves not treat every one of them as we ourselves wish to be treated.
I believe the hatred we see everyday all around us is truly the secret knowledge we hold of ourselves. I truly believe WE KNOW GOD (we are – every one of us – created in His image), and I truly believe we KNOW the cancer of hate exists in our soul (the weapon of our evil enemy) and is killing us and our world!
We just don’t want the only treatment that has already defeated our enemy and will eternally destroy him for eternity.
John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
God’s LOVE! He does not wish for any to perish!
He gives us baby-food … long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation (1 Peter 2:2)
Instead of carried away by lust, we can be carried away by Daddy… 1 John 3:1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are.
We can be a changed people… a CANCER FREE people… Titus 3:3-7 For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
For those who feel righteous in their hate, LOOK AGAIN… WHAT ARE YOU DOING to your very own soul? It is GUARANTEED that when all is said and done in the passion of a world gone crazy with hate, the only soul that will be destroyed by the cancer of hate, will be the one that harbors and hoards it!
As I watch the wicked hate filled trials of souls who’s only grievance against the court of hell is that Satan does not like them, I grieve for what IS happening in our world today. I cry out to God to let me turn my eyes away from the horror, let me turn off the 24/7 circus of fools who really believe they are reporting the truth, let me say the magic words and make this nightmare go away!
But no… He says… take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking the shield faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:13-16)The battle is on – BE.MY.SOLDIER and fight like a girl My girl!
There is one comfort found in this earthly fox hole God has given me… It is… What in the world WILL BE happening in this world?
At the name of Jesus… every knee… every tongue – of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth…
Wait for it… WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!
What In the World is Happening in Our World Today? Oh Baby! My Hero is on His way!! Bo Yeshua!!!
