Theocentric Musings

You want to know how toxic our world can be? I had a vision yesterday evening where a person was in their shower, they had the water on and were washing themselves all over with the water, just enjoying the moment, I then noticed that the water coming out of the shower wasn't water, it was actually many demons, and the person was just covering themselves with the demons, and rubbing demons all over their body, some even would get in their mouth. I couldn't believe the sight, and I didn't understand what it meant at the time. This morning, Jesus started to explain the vision to me. It was an example of how we are attacked by darkness. Sometimes we are totally clueless of how darkness is coming against us, we have done nothing, they simply are on an assignment and we are their target and we must be sensitive to this. Not paranoid, not walking in fear or looking for darkness behind every corner, simply being sensitive to it. The enemy does prowl around as well, we mus...

  We have long benefited from freedom of religion, in fact freedom of many things as Christians in this country.   When the church then goes above and beyond to take away, or oppress freedoms from other peoples they are really treading on a slippery slope from being sons to being dictators.   From Christlikeness to darkness.   Christ provides freedom. Even freedom to make foolish choices, as well as a freedom from foolish choices.   Darkness provides oppression. Darkness forces it's way into your choices, and imprisons you to them.   We cannot take attributes of darkness and cover them in sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows, and then call it good.   That's not the gospel, it is not the way of Jesus, and it never was.

I've noticed something when it comes to Christians and violence. Many will already have decided through their own voices, the voices of their emotions, or the whispers of darkness that the use of violence is completely warranted and then they will search out scripture to support their view. Instead of... Listening for the voice of Jesus through the Holy Spirit guiding them to Peace, trusting Him to deliver them, and searching scripture to confirm His view.

Just thinking out loud... If satan is just God's obedient attack dog, being used to do God's will, then God would be in sin for punishing him for his actions. If satan's work is God's will then satan can not be charged with any crimes against God or humanity, he cannot be punished simply for being obedient. If God is the one leading satan by the nose and guiding or approving of him doing and influencing the disgusting things darkness is involved in, then the guilty party deserving of punishment would be God. Of course people come up with different ways to justify their beliefs of God using darkness, and they will swear up and down that if their belief is true that this is somehow a "holy" act, but that is a stretch. There's nothing holy about darkness and anyone or anything that is actively, maliciously, and intimately involved with darkness and it's fruit in people's lives quite simply cannot be called good.

I'm going to show an example of the type of stuff I am trying to educate and teach people about. The post I am going to quote below is a perfect example. With a little change in beliefs and theology you would take a person that is allowing of the enemy to cause destruction in their life, and mold them into a person who is rebuking the enemy and being the victor. Read the following: "I'm tired of giving the enemy credit for anything in my life. Yeah, I may be under various attacks, but you know what? God is always in control and He makes all things work together for my good. So any attack is for my benefit. Instead of just crying for protection from the enemy's attacks, I'm thanking God for blessing me with the attack because He will be glorified through it." [END QUOTE] You see, this post I just quoted is a fairly typical Christian post or comment, it would probably get a lot of "likes" and "amens", but it is so deeply flawed. L...

Christians miss the fact in scripture that Old Testament Saints were only equipped to fight against people, they were not equipped to fight against their true enemy, the forces of darkness. So that's what was recorded, and influenced their beliefs, they didn't see the fingerprints of darkness influencing people so they fought only who they were equipped to fight. God in covenant with the Israeli tes protected them from destruction when He could. Their enemies who had been seduced by darkness and quashed and pushed away any amount of God's covering by their flirtation with sin, were led into battles they could not win by satan. satan, who despises God's favorite creation, man, also was successful at times in seducing the Israelites. At times he would seduce them into sin and quash or remove God's covering, and would lead them to destruction as well. In the NT Jesus reveals who our true enemy is, the forces of darkness, He then equips us to fight a spiritual ...
