DESTROYED FROM WITHIN

The Bible teaches much about being blind, wretched, and poor - in Spiritual knowledge, understanding, and discernment.  Our very thought process is based on the level of understanding we get about life - worldwide, community, socially, individually.  And our thoughts form the very substance of our existence.  The food of thought determines our choice of physical food.

Not being able to "see" or "hear" the spirit that reigns in the earth's atmosphere - does not at all hinder that spirit from creeping across the land - taking territory - mesmerizing minds.

I'm sure you've heard the story of the frog that allowed himself to be boiled alive - without a lid to confine him.  The water (collective social consciousness) was ever so slightly, but constantly, heated to the boiling point.  The frog simply went to sleep.  He never "saw" the coming of his demise.

And I'm sure you've heard the story of the prodigal son.  This is a Bible story.  And it is describing an immature Christian (a son - living in his Father's house).  His jealousy, resentment, and arrogance, caused him to demand "his part" of the Father's wealth; not realizing - that wealth - was to insure, not only his own life, but all those "inside the Father's house".  Without the Father's wisdom, plan, and purpose for his life, the prodigal son lived a wretched life in poverty.  He was in his Father's house.  Obviously he had heard his Father's voice of direction.  He wanted power and glory; to be somebody all by himself - to establish his own name.

The Bible says we are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge.  Hosea 4:6 also says that is because of rejecting the knowledge of our Father - God.

I'm now reminded of a visual from the movie "Outbreak".  The young man that bought the "virus" monkey - was driving in his car - full of himself - looking forward to the money he would make for himself.  He was "singing along" with the world's music.  But suddenly the very source of more money and personal satisfaction that he had "bought" - spit in his face.  And his immaturity, and willfulness, brought destruction to many more people.

The enemy of God, our Creator, and His son Jesus, our Redeemer - - -is inside our camp.  Slowly but surely that enemy has crept in and made himself "one of us".   The heat has been turned up and that enemy is spitting in the face of the children - of the Most High God - the Redeemed.

I personally believe, based on past dreams that I have had, there's not a lot of time left to return the the "Father's House".  That place is not physical.  It is found deep within the secret place of our own human spirit.  The Bible instructs us to "get understanding".  It also tells us that "Wisdom is the principal".  A principal is an overseeing instructor.  That would be the Holy Spirit of the Most High God.  Return - Within - to "THE VOICE"  of the one that created us, redeemed us, and empowers us - with Truth of Knowledge, Understanding, and Wisdom.  Spirit is the life - of everything.  Evil creeps in with a smile - as a neighboring friend many times - not as a scary violent obvious evil.  

 Don't wait - till it's too late - to wake up.
