ARTICLE: ADDICTED TO LUST AND ALLERGIC TO GOD

2 Timothy 3:1-5 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away".

NOTE: I realize I am may seem controversial as I share the Truth of God concerning various issues I address. I am not going for popularity with man, but rather, I want to be found speaking "the truth that sets the captives free". We are living in very perilous times and there are enough lies and deceptions out in our society and in our government leadership. Someone must take a stand on TRUTH....what God's Word says regarding issues that society and the laws of the land have deemed as "acceptable, even if it go against what our Creator, Jehovah God, has proclaimed as TRUTH. It is my prayer that other "Authentic believers and followers in Christ" would take a stand in LOVE and TRUTH and stand strong against anyone (Pastor, Priest, Reverend or other Christian Leaders and Congregants) who are distributing "compromised", "watered-down" half-truths in order to help folks justify a sinful lifestyle. I pray that I challenge or inspire some of you to go to Father God if you have any issues or disputes in what I share. Ultimately, this is not between you and I, but rather, between you and Father God. He is the One who will judge all mankind in the end!

As we read the aforementioned biblical passage of scripture (2 Timothy 3:1-5), we must understand that this is describing individuals who reject Jesus Christ and "The Truth that sets the captives free" (John 8:32). These are the characteristics of those who have chosen to indulge in, and embrace, the cares of this world in the sinful nature of man, with all of its lusts (sexual, greed, and other lusts involved in The Sin of Lawlessness in general). These individuals also have made the choice to deny God and His Supremacy in America (and in the world) and they have chosen to live "addicted to lust and allergic to God".

There are so many souls in the world who are going about their daily lives, thriving and striving to build a life that is being built on shifting sands. instead of the sure and solid foundation of The Chief Cornerstone and Rock -- JESUS CHRIST! All that a man builds in his lifetime can come crashing down in an instant in a "Crash" on The Wall Street Stock Exchange and/or an National (or International) Economic collapse; or the things he takes so much "stock" in: fame and fortune, materialism, and the pride and cares of life, could be swept away in a natural disaster. After the tidal waves, whirlwinds, earthquakes, tsunamis or other potential disasters subside, what would this man have left? Everything that he has placed great value in and worked a lifetime to achieve is now only memories of shattered dreams and devastated realities. Another question: When Jesus Christ returns, will this same man have embraced The Gift of Salvation that comes through Jesus Christ, the Son of the Almighty God? Or will he lose more than his earthly possessions-- His soul to eternity in hell. This seems extremely harsh-- I know! But this is truth folks! There is a heaven and there is a hell and though nothing in this life is for certain, eternity and where we may spend it IS. Doom and Gloom preaching? Not at all! Only Truth and a fact of life.

Look around and you too will agree that America (and the world) in experiencing perilous times-- The End Times where events are unfolding and revealed as proclaimed and documented in The Book of Revelation and are coming to pass right before our eyes (whether we choose to see these things happening or not). No matter how crazy this world may get in these end times,Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. In God's Word, He has clearly declared what "Sin" is and no matter how anyone desires to twist, alter, omit or "interpret" The TRUTH of God, He (God) is NOT a man that He should Lie - He doesn't change his mind (Numbers 23:19)! There are far too many folks teaching wishy-washy, compromising, watered-down versions of what God's Word says about what society has deemed to be up for interpretation. We hear: "Can't we all just get along". " Jesus is Love and God accepts everyone!" Or "Love Wins" and "CO-EXIST" Campaigns are sweeping this nation and the world; declaring sexual perversion is "the norm" and any other sin that falls under the Umbrella of The Sin of Lawlessness; and that we should mix all religious as ONE - because, after all, we ALL worship the same "god". No we don't folks! You can't mix company with The One True Living God and False gods. This is crazy (and extremely dangerous folks). May eyes be open to such great deceptions. And don't even let me get started on the topic of Apostasy!

I can hear many folks, mostly Christians, who believe I am being hateful or a bigot because I am seemingly being so hateful in sharing the Truth-- but if you truly LOVE those who are deceived in their sinful lifestyles then provide them with The Totality of TRUTH, otherwise you are only hugging them and escorting them to the edge of the cliff that drops these confused and lost souls off the cliff into hell. True Love is telling these souls the truth that sets the captives free.....The TRUTH....not some new and altered version of what they are calling truth because it justifies their living in whatever sin they deem as normal. Truth hurts, I know, because I didn't like it when I first heard it, but then the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to TRUTH and provided me with divine understanding - and because someone refused to just give me a "holy hug", but used the Sword of Truth as well, I am a "new creation in Christ Jesus" and I am now able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven instead of living a deceptive lifestyle here on earth and ending up in hell for eternity. This is the raw and unadulterated truth of God folks! Truth hurts but it "sets the captives free". Remember this my beloved Christian brothers and sisters -- we have this TRUTH and it is our responsibility to share the Truth that sets these lost souls free- Don't compromise because you get wrapped up in the legitimate emotional stories of these individuals struggles and challenges. Keep a balance between Love and Truth folks! Our sympathy, empathy and a holy hug is NOT ENOUGH!!

Someone needs to take a stand in Love and Truth-- My sharing Truth should not be misinterpreted as a "hater" or a "bigot" -- but on the contrary, I love these lost souls enough to tell them the Truth so their eyes can be open as well, not only to THE TRUTH, but also to the GREAT DECEPTION AND LIES of Satan, The Father of Lies. Someone loved me enough to tell me about Jesus Christ and the Gift of Salvation-- and the Holy Spirit is the One who opened my eyes to the truth that set me free. We Christians must take a stand on TRUTH and not get wrapped up in the very real "emotional side of the stories of genuine struggles and challenges folks have in the sinful lifestyles: READ 1 Corinthians 6:9-11- Apostle Paul shares a list of those who will not enter the kingdom of heaven: homosexuality, adulterers, drunkards, (and others). I would be heading to hell right now if someone didn't LOVE me ENOUGH to tell me what God says in His Word about the sin of Homosexuality. Save someone's life for eternal damnation today - PLEASE speak TRUTH that will set them free!

May The Holy Spirit speak to your heart today my beloved family and friends.
