In an atmosphere of outrage and seeking justice, it is dangerously easy to forget that our ultimate struggle is not against people: Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Romans 12:14-18 #Jesus

The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? -- Jeremiah 17:9 One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And one who rules his spirit, than one who captures a city. -- Proverbs 16:32 Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul. -- 1 Peter 2:11 #spiritualwarfare Rabbit-hole: This man is Aleister Crowley. Subject of the Ozzy Osbourne song, and occult influencer of pop culture to this very day. I believe one of the members of Led Zeppelin alao purchased his former property. He self-described as "the evilest man who ever lived," and also claimed to be the "beast of the apocalypse."

👹 TAKING US DOWN WITH HIM "but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! “For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:3-5 Serpent: 'You can be like God - through knowledge.' * 'God's [Creator's] rules not necessary?' * 'Make your own [better] way?' Fantasy 👇 Deception 👇 SIN Did Adam and Eve die after disobeying? Depends how one looks at death. What is separation from God? "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Does the world currently feel like, or appear to be administered by a GOOD God? What is Gnosticism?

Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds. - 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

On the day that you were created They were prepared. “You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. “You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in you. “By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God.

⚠️👀 The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:7-10 #theway #truth #peace
