A False Hope for Salvation

[Christsfreeservant]

“The Lord looks down from heaven;​

he sees all the children of man;​

from where he sits enthroned he looks out​

on all the inhabitants of the earth,​

he who fashions the hearts of them all​

and observes all their deeds.​

The king is not saved by his great army;​

a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.​

The war horse is a false hope for salvation,​

and by its great might it cannot rescue.” (Psalms 33:13-17 ESV)​

God always sees what we humans cannot always see, for he can look into the hearts of human beings, and he can see what goes on behind closed doors in secret that us humans can’t always see. He knows and he sees and he hears the secrets of people’s hearts and their evil schemes and the things that are being done to us behind our backs which we cannot see. So God always knows even when we don’t know the evil being plotted against us.

Now he may not show us everything, but if we ask him, he may show us some of what goes on in secret of which we may not be aware, because he doesn’t want us to be deceived, and he doesn’t want us putting our trust and hope in other humans who cannot save. I know that I was blinded to a lot of things in my younger years which, over the past 20 years, the Lord has opened my eyes to and has made me aware so that I am not deceived.

So, how did he make me aware? He led me to read many different news articles and opinion articles and other people’s writings and historical records and such, in combination with where I was reading in the Scriptures, to show me what was going on with the US government and military, and with the institutional church, and in other nations, which included our government and military and their activities in these other nations.

This was at a time when the internet was more wide open and where it was easier to access particular information, and when it was not as locked down as what I believe it is now. But actually, a lot of this truth is coming out in various ways, even by the mouths of our own government heads, for they can now feel free to reveal some of the truth, for they are convinced that they have sufficiently brainwashed the people not to believe the truth.

But he does not want us to be deceived, and that is why we need to pray for wisdom and discernment so that we don’t end up believing the lies while we reject the truth. For with regard to the government, they brainwashed the people (not all people) that when they hear certain key words or phrases to automatically respond with “conspiracy theory,” and thus to shut our minds off to the information and to reject it without even praying about it and without seeking the Lord as to whether the information is true or not.

And the same trick has taken place within the institutional church, too, that when we hear certain words or phrases that we are supposed to automatically respond with “works salvation” or “replacement theology,” and thus to completely shut our minds off to what is being said and taught, even if what is being said and taught is absolute biblical truth being taught in the correct context. And all this is called “mind control.”

And a lot of this “mind control” takes place via television and movies and advertisements and social media memes and music and song lyrics and videos and cartoons, and via pastors of church congregations who are regurgitating what they learned in seminary or in their church growth or church planting training seminars, or in their marketing books on how to grow their churches and to draw in large crowds from the world.

So it is of critical importance that we test everyone and everything we hear or read or think we see, for deception abounds everywhere, and anything can be faked these days and photoshopped to make it look one way while it is something else entirely. So we must not close our minds and our hearts to allowing the Holy Spirit to show us what lies we are believing, and what the real truth is, for if we don’t, we are ripe for being deceived.

So, don’t put your trust in other humans to be your saviors from anything nor to tell you the absolute truth about everything, either. Lies and liars abound everywhere we look these days, including within the gatherings of what are called “churches.” But be seekers of truth and righteousness and ask the Lord to show you if you are believing any lies or if you have been brainwashed about anything and if you are being deceived.

Then put your trust solely in the Lord and in his word, but study the Scriptures in their context, and compare Scripture with Scripture to make certain that what you are believing is the truth and not Satan’s lies. For we live in the last days before our Lord’s return, and deception is definitely increasing and becoming much more prevalent. So pray, pray, pray to be wise and discerning and not to fall for Satan’s tricks.

For Our Nation

An Original Work / September 11, 2012

Bombs are bursting. Night is falling.
Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.
Trust Him with your life today.
Make Him your Lord and your Savior.
Turn from your sin. Follow Jesus.
He will forgive you of your sin;
Cleanse your heart, made new within.

Men betraying: Our trust fraying.
On our knees to God we’re praying,
Seeking God to give us answers
That are only found in Him.
God is sovereign over all things.
Nothing from His mind escaping.
He has all things under His command,
And will work all for good.

Jesus Christ is gently calling
You to follow Him in all ways.

Men deceiving: We’re believing
In our Lord, and interceding
For our nation and its people
To obey their God today.
He is our hope for our future.
For our wounds He offers suture.
He is all we need for this life.
Trust Him with your life today.
