By One Spirit — Holy Ghost Ministry

I don't often write about what might be called secular topics, but today I desperately need to get across a spiritual point that is totally tied into some serious secular things going on in this country right now. There are a number of issues that are outstanding right now in the U.S., all of which are very serious and very telling as far as who is who and what is what. You can mark this down as a prophetic message because that's exactly what it is. We can call these issues whatever we choose to call them, whether racism, homosexuality, Islam, abortion, gun control, or whatever else is on the agenda. These things and other issues as well are real issues, I do agree; but they are only the surface issues. Nonetheless they are being used by Satan to accomplish his purposes, but more importantly these issues will also be used ultimately by God to manifest exactly who is who. The scripture that applies to what I'm talking about says it best: "For first of all, when ye come together in the [congregation], I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you" (I Cor. 11:18,19). What the apostle is saying is that God will ultimately use the divisions and differences of thought that men have among themselves to show who it is that is on HIS side, if in fact anyone is. That is all that matters when it's all said and done, being on God's side of any division. The reason is evident, that being that whoever is found in opposition to God is going to go to hell, except they repent and get on God's side. Simple as that. The verse that I've copied here can be applied to the nation on a larger scale, as it was applied to the congregation of believers in Corinth whom the apostle Paul was writing to. So here it is, and I am talking absolute simplicity here, because that is how God talks: All of the issues that have divided this nation [Oh and it IS divided], and all of the things that anyone and everyone thinks about them, come down to just a few spiritual principles that will make all the difference to every soul who thinks anything at all. And by the way it makes a big difference about what we think in regard to EVERYTHING, let alone these issues. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Prov. 23:7).

The first principle is knowledge, meaning do we actually know what we're talking about in terms of facts, and do we know how we came up with what we think about the issues at hand? "Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth" (Prov. 19:2). It's much easier to be hasty to say things wrongly when we don't even have the facts. It is also much easier to get swept up by the spirit of 'the crowd' when we don't know what the heck is really going on. Either way we are guilty, but not as guilty as others may be, and I'll get to that. I factually know enough about all of these things to easily see that many folks who are saying one thing or another about these issues, just plainly don't have the facts at all. They are merely repeating some rhetoric that has been pushed by someone who is either lying, or doesn't know the facts themselves. So what I'm talking about here is ignorance, which is the least condemning element of why someone would be on the wrong side of any issue, and thereby be opposed to God. There are fine people with good hearts who are just ignorant about what they're trying to make a stand for, and thereby find themselves standing for the wrong thing. We need to know what we're talking about, because in the end ignorance will not save us. Next in line is honesty, which in fact may be the most important trait that a human being can have, or at least Jesus alluded to that: "But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience" (Lk. 8:15). That quote is from the parable of 'the sower and the seed,' and the fact is that the fourth group of soil which Jesus spoke of there, is the only group of the four who will inherit eternal life. Being fully honest with one's self makes the difference of being able to know the difference between what is good, and what is evil. A person who remains honest with himself will develop the faculty of knowing good from evil, and that capacity is the only thing that can keep anyone from being deceived and believing a lie. This is a major issue, seeing the Bible tells us the following: "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without [outside the city] are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie" (Rev. 22:14,15). That means that those outside the new Jerusalem have been lost, being cast into 'outer darkness,' of which are those who lie and believe lies (Mat. 25:24-30).

So again, I have to tell you that it does not matter who thinks what about any of these issues, unless we are thinking the way God is thinking about them. Next up is the element of justice, which is tied directly into honesty of heart. One cannot understand what is just in any situation if he is not honest with himself. Justice is about as important as it gets, and the fact that eternal justice will be meted out by God to every soul at the final judgment, tells us that it is. In fact those who attain unto eternal life will do so by being partakers of "the resurrection of the just" (Lk. 14:14; Acts 24:15). We can also add this verse to the mix: "The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just" (Prov. 3:33). So if we are not just, and are not loving justice, then in God's eyes we are 'unjust;' and we will not attain unto the 'resurrection of the just,' which means we will be lost. We have to be honest, and to some extent at least we have to know good and evil, in order to see what is actually just and right in any given situation or issue. Those who are truly just and are honest about the facts of things, are going to also know what to love and what to hate. Jesus had both of those elements fully set in his heart, and God was well pleased that he did: "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows" (Heb. 1:9). All who profess faith in Christ at least say that they believe in love, but too few understand the reality that hate is just as important as love: "The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil" (Psm. 36:3,4). Hating that which is evil is a trait that only the righteous possess (Prov. 8:13; Rev. 2:15). I might add however that while a righteous person may hate what the wicked are doing, they would be far happier to see the wicked repent and be spared God's curse and his wrath; which also depicts the heart of God (Ezek. 33:11). There is a right side and a wrong side to be on, in regard to all of the issues I mentioned earlier, and others as well. There is also a side that God is on, and it is the side that is honest, true, just, and good. In short order I will cover all of the issues I mentioned above, and easily show you what is good and what is evil with each of them.

First up is 'racism,' and I can tell you very truly that what we call racism exists in every nationality, color, ethnicity, culture, and the like. Racism is simply having some undue thinking or feeling toward someone else because they are not of your particular 'kind,' as it were. Wherever it is, it is wrong, and is always wrong. But I can tell you that there is a major problem in this country of people calling anything and everything racism, just because it is something that displeases them personally for the wrong reasons. What I am saying is that there is far more unrighteousness being perpetrated in the guise of being against racism, than there is actual, factual opposition to racism. Anyone can use their nationality, religion, skin color, ethnic background, etc; to hold onto something wicked and perpetrate it as being against racism. So a lot of people who think they're standing against racism, are actually setting forth a view of 'false racism,' and they themselves are truly the racists. That kind of lie God will reward with his curse, and with his wrath. Let me say something about police here as well, seeing they have been targeted with an enormous amount of scrutiny, as well as undue hatred. The Bible clearly tells us some vastly overlooked things on this subject that a whole lot of folks need to take heed to: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil" (Rom. 13:1-4). Police are certainly in the number of those referred to here as "the powers that be." Cooperation with police will always produce a far better result than "resisting the power," as the scripture says. If police are corrupt in their dealings with ANYONE, then they should be held to the highest degree of accountability. But if we resist the power that GOD has given these authorities, for no good reason; and we needlessly complicate their duties, then we really don't have a lot of room to whine about what comes of it. Reason being is that we have resisted the authority of God in doing so, and that just isn't a good idea to begin with.

Okay, now homosexuality is plainly an abomination to God, and the Bible very plainly tells us that it is (Lev. 18:22; Lev. 20:13; Rom. 1:22-27). The scriptures also tell us that anyone who remains in that condition cannot and will not be saved, period (I Cor. 6:9,10). To protect people who are in such a state, from those who would harm them for it, is a just thing. To promote the lifestyle in any way, or to give those who are in it praise because of it, is unjust; and all who do so overtly or by consent will be rewarded by God with the reward of the unjust. God is perfect in justice, as he is in all things, and that which is written by his inspiration will surely be confirmed by him, both here and hereafter. The 'religion' of Islam should be dealt with in every nation as being treason against the state, because in fact Islam is the only so called religion with a civil code; which is to say that it's aim is to take over every nation and government in the world, to turn it into it's own 'Shariah law;' which thing is a very special abomination to God. Most people know almost nothing about Islam at all, including a whole lot of Muslims. If they did, they would know that 'ISIS' and others like them are actually the ones who are more closely following the written instructions of the false prophet Mohammed, and the writings of those who followed him. That is why ISIS also kills 'moderate Muslims,' because they know that they are NOT following what Mohammed said to do; meaning that they aren't raging murderers. Make no mistake however, when push comes to shove, and it will; most of the moderate Muslims will throw down with the people like ISIS because they are already subjected largely to the spirit of Mohammed. Islam is anti-American and it is anti-Christ, having made Jesus 'just another prophet.' Anyone who is sympathetic to, or supports in any way this 'religion' which has world conquest at its heart, will most assuredly end up on the wrong side of things, and will die the death of the wicked. Abortion is simply murder, plain and simple; and it is murder of the most innocent victims that exist. Anyone who would even argue against that is either extraordinarily ignorant, or just plain wicked. I heard an arrogant young fool on TV arguing that an unborn child is "not fully human," therefore it can't be called murder. If it's not fully human, then I'm wondering what an unborn child is partly; whether reptile, bird, insect, alien, or what the heck. He was just evil, not ignorant. He was neither honest or just, and it's certain that he did not love good and hate evil. If you justify abortion, or support political candidates who protect that 'right,' you will perish with the wicked, except you repent.

As far as the gun control issue, it is clear cut for anyone who is honest and knows anything about the constitution of the United States. The only reason that any government wants to take the people's guns away is so that they can bring them into whatever degree of subjection they care to bring them into, without resistance. Criminals and terrorists will ALWAYS have guns, and they will always have whatever kind of guns they are willing to pay for. Everyone who wanted alcohol during the 'prohibition' era, had it; and the criminals were there to provide them with it, making a whole lot of money in the process. Everyone who wants to take drugs today, or smoke marijuana, can get these commodities anytime they want them; and those who sell it to them are making a whole lot of money by doing so. Criminals and terrorists do not obey laws. I mean, MY GOD, are you kidding me? Who are we trying to fool when we say we need 'common sense gun laws' so that criminals and terrorists can't get guns? THEY ALREADY HAVE THEM, and they will CONTINUE to have them. Everywhere terrorists attack is in 'gun free zones.' Why? Because their job is simplified greatly when the people they want to kill don't have anything to resist them with. So the answer is, according to the present administration of government that is in power here; is to disarm the honest, law abiding people who need more protection now than they ever have. Oh I know, they're not trying to actually take the guns away, they just want to pass some common sense laws that are going to bless the living daylights out of everyone's lives here in this country.

So then, if terrorists attack us, we will at least have our pea shooters to fight against their automatic rifles of warfare. Come on folks, let's do a little bit of thinking here. If we don't have access to the 'powerful weapons' that the government wants to take away, we can't protect ourselves very well against terrorists or criminals, or against a government takeover backed by the armed forces. The truth is that the wicked who are trying to perpetrate gun control are depending on two things. They expect enough people to be stupid enough to let it happen to them, and they expect that if they tell these easy-to-see lies long enough they will thereby wear down those who are opposed to them; in government as well as civilians. Our second amendment right to bear arms is for defense against a corrupt government that wants to bring us into their subjection, as well as against criminals and foreign invaders. Read up on it. So there you have it, and it should be easy to see which side of this division God is on, in all of these issues. You might note that those who are on the wrong side of any of these issues, are more often than not on the wrong side of ALL of these issues. We are entering into an era in this nation, as well as in the world, where it will be impossible to be saved if we remain on the wrong side of these kinds of issues. The division is there, and it will surely manifest those who are approved [of God], from those who are just simply against God. Being on the right side of these issues doesn't necessarily make one righteous with God, but it at least affords us the opportunity to be so. As I said, being and remaining on the wrong side will not afford that opportunity, and that is very bad news for the stubborn and the wicked. That's about it for now. God bless.
