Perfection part 4/5

           It is of these multitudes and multitudes of various kinds of lies that Satan uses to keep the carnally minded supplied with reasons to judge, or to accuse, or to point the finger of guilt, or to mock and scorn, or to blame, or to gossip, or to speak evil of, or to be envious or jealous of, or to criticize, or to find fault with one another, or to hate, or to slander one another. These are the various manners that the tongue uses to curse other men. Is it not written that I said, “Judge not lest you be judged; for with what judgment you use, that will be the manner of judgment that shall judge you.

            Those who judge without mercy are also they who shall be judged without mercy. Bless those who curse you.” Do you see how your adversary the Devil works, to supply you with the reasons that tempt to do that which I warned you not to do? Remember that I told you before that Satan is not the adversary to your will, but he is the adversary to my will, and all those who desire to do my will. Have you not considered the children of perdition, those that Satan has deceived into believing that they have the right to sit in the seat of judgment over the lives of others, using Satan’s “just reasons” to curse others?

            But unlike God, they sit to judge unjustly, and unmercifully, and without forgiveness, completely unaware they are only laying up wrath, destruction, and condemnation for themselves on that day when they shall be judged according to judgments they have used to judge others with; or rather, to be judged with the reasoning they used to curse others with.

II Thessalonians 2:3,4 “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”

Romans 2:1 “Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge do the same things.”

Matthew7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.”

            He is ugly; she is to short; he thinks only of himself; she is fat; he does eat right; she does not take proper care of herself; he is does not agree with me; I do not like the clothes she wears; I am better than him; she does not measure up to my standard; he is wild; she is of a different nationality; he is of a different race; she is stupid; he is ignorant; he scares me; she offends me; he is a thief; she took advantage of me; he is an adulterer; she is a whore; he talks to much; she lies; he is a bastard; she is a bitch; he is lazy; she is tramp; he wears his hair to long; she wears too much make-up; It is his fault; she is to blame; he is different; she is friends with the wrong people;

           I do not like him because of the way that he looks at me; she is stuck up; he is boring; she is obnoxious; he is mean; she is wrong because she does not see it my way; his politics are perverted; they are raising their children the wrong way; be suspicious of her; do not turn your back on him; she is ruthless; he hurts people; she does not believe in God; he is a sinner; she will not listen to my counsel; his doctrine does not agree with mine; she does not pray right; he does not tithe. Are these not just but a very few of the multitudes of reasons that Satan uses to keep the carnally minded supplied with reasons to curse others? From where come the arguments, the divisions, the fighting, the divorces, the strife, and the wars that common to natural man, but from the reasonings that come forth from Satan’s own thoughts?

Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not so that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank (the reasonings that blind) from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”

James 4:11 “Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?”

Matthew 12:31 “Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

          Then the Lord said, “Now do believe the scripture that says, “And God saw that every imagination (reasonings) of the thought of their heart was only evil continually.”? And do you now believe my word that says, “My thoughts are not your thoughts; for as high as the heavens are above the earth are my thoughts above your thoughts”? Remember that which I told you, “He that walks in darkness walks in the curse of blindness, desiring to have “just reasons” to justify himself and to curse others with. He that walks in the light of God’s love walks in the light of Father’s purposes: to do good to all, to bless all, even those who curse you, to show mercy, and to forgive from the heart all those who offend and sin against them. Make sure that the light that is in you is not darkness. My Father so loved this world that his loved purposed to send me into this world, not to judge, or to accuse, or to condemn it, but to save it”, says the Lord.

Luke 9:53-56 “But those in the Samaritan village did not receive Jesus because his face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.”

          I then sat there for moment, trying to comprehend the magnitude of the words that the Lord had just spoken to me. I could do nothing but marvel at the fact that the Lord had just revealed that the enmity of the carnal mind, it is filled not with reasonings that man conceives, but they reasonings that are conceived out of Satan’s own thoughts, then passed on by him to carnal mind. I then thought about how the scriptures identify Satan as being the god of this world, and at that which is written that says that those who are of the world speak of the world, and the word hears them.

           One of the first things that the Lord taught me about himself when I began to seek after him was how much he hated the excuses and the reasonings that men use to justify themselves. If you had sinned, you just confess it”: period. If you had faults and weaknesses, then you just acknowledged the truth: period. God does not need to hear the explanations of men’s excuses or reasonings, and now the Lord was enlightening my eyes to see that God hates these words because they are all crafted in Satan’s own mind. Yet, these are the very words that the world speaks of, and that the world hears. Really, is there anything that seems to come more natural to man listens than the reasonings that men use to explain why they do what they do?

I John 4:4-6 “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”

          Then he brought the dream back into my remembrance. I then began to consider again al that which I had seen, and then asked, “Lord what were all of these numbers that I saw that seemed to be just disappearing?” The Lord said, “These are the numbers/reasonings that you have judged to be evil, having seen that they are reasons that counsel you to do that which is contrary to my words. Once you recognized these lies for what they were, you took up your cross to disagree with them, refusing to bow the knee of your heart to believe them. But it was not until you called out to me saying, “Father, not my will be done but your will be done”, that you allowed for me to come and fight for you against these lying spirits.

           Know this, that every time that you see these reasons come against my will for you, know that I will come when I see that you desire to do my will rather than your own will. It is then that I will come and cast out these reasonings that seek to counsel you not follow me or the counsel of my words; whether it be reasons for you to doubt the faithfulness of my love for you, or the reasons that tempt you to curse others, or the reasons tempt you not to believe my words, or the reasons that tempt you to yield to their fears, or the reasons that tempt you into justifying your weaknesses and sins. It is only when you were willing to lay down your life, a life whereby you served the lies of Satan’s reasonings, that I am able to send my will to you to free you from serving Satan through the lies of his reasons.

II Corinthians 10:4-6 (AMP) “For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One), being in readiness to punish every [insubordinate for his] disobedience, when your own submission and obedience [as a church] are fully secured and complete.”

         The more you offer to me the lies of Satan’s reasonings, the more I will come you to set you free. Know this, it is only the lies of Satan’s reasons that has brought disorder into this world; the disorder of chaos, foolishness, craziness, uncertainty, confusion, frustration, evil, vanity, unrest, and trouble. The disorder in the numbers that you saw in this dream represents the disorder that Satan has established in this world through his reasonings.

           You will recognize this disorder in those who disobey the counsels of God’s word; in those who make light of God’s word; in those who put their cares, their business, their family, and their pleasures ahead of God; in those who do not believe God or his words; in those that contend with God; in those that think evil of God; in those that do not respect or honor God; in those who esteem their opinions to be of more value than the truth of God; in those who do not trust God; and in those that do not love God or the truth of his words. This is the disorder of this fallen world of darkness, where men follow after the reasons of Satan rather than the truth of God.

John 8:31,32 “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

           There is no light of God in this disorder, only the darkness where the children of this world serve Satan’s reasons rather than the will of God. The more you take up your cross to crucify this world, denying your citizenship that requires of you to serve the lies of the god of this world, the more I will come to cast out the lies of his reasonings that continually tempt you in your thoughts not to follow me. I will come and remove this disorder that has no fellowship, or relationship or communion with me.

            Did I not create man for these very purposes? The more you allow for me to restore the order that I created you for, the more you will see me dissolve the disorder of confusion, and frustration, and chaos. Then you will witness as I begin to establish my kingdom within you; and when I establish my kingdom within you, the peace of God will come to rule in the thoughts of your mind and the motives of your heart. The more order that you allow for me to restore; and the more you allow for me restore my order within you, the more my love will come to fellowship, to bless, and to commune with you”, says the Lord.

Proverbs 16:3 “Commit the work unto the Lord, and your thoughts shall be established.”

Romans 12:1,2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Ephesians 4:21-24 “If indeed you have heard him and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conversation, the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.”

Galatians 6:14 “But God forbid that I should glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”

John 3:30 “He must increase (the new man); but I (the old man) must decrease (the lies of Satan‘s reasonings; the numbers that I saw in this dream).”

Colossians 3:10-14 “Put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.”

           Then I asked, “Well, Lord, after I saw all of these numbers, or reasonings, disappear, all that I saw left was the number 1, what does that represent? The Lord answered me and said, “God! Perfection! God alone is perfect. God is one. There is only one God, one Lord, one Spirit, one Truth, one Wisdom, one Love, and one Life. When all things have been reconciled unto God, then shall all things shall be perfected in God though Jesus Christ. When all things are of God, made to be one with him through Jesus Christ, then shall all order be restored.

            It was in the beginning that Jesus Christ made all things were created and made to be one with God through in agreement and purpose. And as it was in the beginning, so is it now, that by Jesus Christ shall all things be reconciled to God, to once be created and made to one with God through him. The DNA of God is one; and the DNA of all things that are of God is one because there is nothing that is of God that was not made according to his purpose. Can two walk together as one unless they agree in the same purposes?

          Only when all things have become one with God shall order be restored; for when order has been restored, then all things shall again be of God through Jesus Christ. The same Jesus Christ that created and made all things to be one with God is the same Jesus Christ that shall restore the order of all things. Reconcile (Vines Topical Bible Dictionary): “to change, exchange“; “to change from enmity to friendship, to reconcile.”
