Ignoring Evil ~ Part 1

I watched with a mixture of sadness and incredulity as Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska stated the obvious evil being perpetrated on the American people by Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” only to kowtow to this wickedness and vote as Trump demanded. Something has gone horribly awry. We watch as if evil is mainlined into those given power to legislate, which is no different than one shooting heroin. And now this evil will go the House where it will find more purveyors of darkness.

In chapter 6 of the Gospel of John, we see the followers of Jesus having trouble understanding what He required. Many fell away. And then Jesus tells those that remain that He has chosen them and one of them has a devil. But no one asks who. Why not? Who is this Man that walks on water and feeds the multitudes? They are being given insight they cannot understand at this time. It is later in John 13 at the Last Supper that Jesus again speaks of one of them having a devil. This time Peter motions to John to ask Jesus who this person is. And Jesus tells him it is Judas. Yet Jesus still broke bread with Judas after He had washed his feet. Jesus tells Judas to do what he is about to do quickly. Do not tarry. This was a divine plan, but when we look at what we see going on in our country, I see nothing divine in it. This is the end result of casting off the restraints of what Jesus told us to do in the Sermon on the Mount and in all His words as they only serve to constrain those who look to enrich themselves. And somehow what is being perpetuated is wrapped in a bow to make it appear as if it’s from followers of Christ. These maga Christians have managed to present a gospel that appeals to the flesh rather than crucifies it. This spirit that betrayed Jesus is the same spirit we see in operation now that has come to rob, kill and destroy. It’s an anti-Christ spirit. And it’s gaining power every day. And the church is providing fuel to speed it up.

We are warned in 1 Corinthians 15:33 “Do not be deceived: Evil company corrupts good habits.” And so many have departed from what Jesus taught and the faith we are to walk in and have given heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. Why have so many fallen in line with a doctrine of lies and evil? Proverbs 24:1 tells us, “Do not be envious of evil men. Nor desire to be with them. For their heart devises violence and their lips talk of troublemaking.” Much of what we see before our eyes right now should cause great consternation. Instead, we see so many that were elected to serve become so inured to the evil being perpetuated that their consciences are no longer able to be seared. Yet they continue to build their own castles and surround them with a moat of laws and money they think will protect them. And the American people willingly serve them believing the tidbits being offered from their table will keep them alive and safe. But as it says in Jeremiah 49:16, “You think you’re so great – strutting across the stage of history. Living high in the impregnable rocks, acting like the king of the mountain. You think you’re above it all, don’t you, like an eagle in its aerie? Well, you’re headed for a fall. I’ll bring you crashing to the ground.” (Message Bible) I pray all come to a realization of the penalty for this path taken of ignoring evil. I pray all come to a knowledge of His truth and be separate from those walking in this evil.  Blessings.
