Manipulations of Men & Demons
I will have no other gods before Me.
My question than is why?
The Lord Most High states, that He is a jealous God.
Again why?
Because He knows how this whole thing, (man, earth, angels) came together.
Creation bears record and proof of a creator, in the same way that a watch, proves the exsistance of a watch maker.
He knows from the beginning to the end, the course of events that will and have taken place.
He is aware of the fact that He desired to show His love on someone not yet created.
He knows also it was not the clay that pursued the potter.
He speaks of this when He states, “none seek Me, no not one”.
Never have we sought the Lover of our souls.
The Father watches afar off as to be able to get a glimpse of His sons hopeful return, and upon seeing him, RUNS to greet him.
Love needs an object to show it’s love to.
Love is not passive, it is action, it must show or prove the passion of it’s love towards another or it will tweak.
That’s why He states, “My love is an abiding, consuming, fire”.
These are by no means the entirety of the reasons of Gods jealousy towards us, it does give us a grasp of the essence of His passion towards each of us though, that we may go out on our own and seek His face to know Him who first sought us.
To the reason for my thoughts about the passion of our Lord.
He has been showing me quite alot about what was taking place in the old covenant, was infact the physical manifestation of a soon coming spiritual reality or truth.
He dropped into my mind one morning, about how He honored the most insignificant and obscure kings of the old covenant, when they did great things in the eyes of the Lord.
By going up to the high places of their fathers, and tore down their alters and idols of worship.
The Lord showed me that, that was the physical manifestation of a spiritual truth, taking place in the New Covenant.
When we with a pure and contrite heart, come before the King of All, and ask Him to show us the high places in our lives, and the idols that we may or may not know about, have been set up in front of Him, He says we have done great things in His eyes.
If in fact we do tear them down.
I am about to speak of an idol I may or may not have on my own set up in my life, but could very well have been placed there by the evil intent and purposes of ungodly men and or demons, to keep me tied to the pysical and natural realm where the Father is not.
My idol I speak about, with absolute angusih and shame, is sex with my wife.
To manipulate is not honoring. Not to honor is pride, therefore there is every evil work.
You may say there isn’t anything wrong with sex with your wife, and you would be absolutely right.
However if I wanted sex and she didn’t, I’d throw a fit, or just walk around the house in a wierd and angry mood.
I was manipulating my wife with my emotions, and that is fleshly, therefore devilish.
Why would I speak of these things in a public forum you may ask?
Because He said, “confess your faults, one to another, that you may be healed”.
Bacause He said, “I will have no other gods before Me”.
Because my love for my Father, supersedes the lust I have in my flesh.
Because of the love for my wife, I will honor her with the same honor that He shows me.
I want to carry His Presence with me, EVERYWHERE I go, that others may be set free by HIS PRESENCE, however that can not come into fruition, until all the idols in my life are torn down from infront of HIM.
How come you call this an idol, and how did it come into your life I hear you and myself ask?
The manipulations of demons are generally sent to the children of each generation, so to start the control early, so that we may think it is a part of our makeup.
LIE
I will tell you, how it happened to me.
Because information is power, and things that can be kept behind closed doors, is also power perverted.
As a young man, probably like most young men in the west, I explored my new found yet undiscovered sexuality, from the pages of Playboy.
Where in my mind I still remember saying, the most desirous women are between the ages of twenty and twenty five, based on what I saw on those pages.
Which then only led to lust of the flesh, by imagining having sex with them through masterbation, thus the idol was now setup in my life.
The manipulation of demons took the natural function of a womans beauty and perverted it into an idol, before the King of Kings.
There is the reason to talk about such things in a public forum.
To cast the Light on the darkness, to set men free from the manipulation and lies of devils.
That as He is in the Light, we as His sons and daughters can walk in the light.
I love you My sons I hear the Father say.
