  • The Strength of Gossip

    The Strength of Gossip

    In the darkest corners of existence, where shadows writhe and despair takes hold, there lies a world consumed by the insidious power of gossip.

    Our world.

    Gossips’ tendrils, malevolent spirits is what they are, slither through the hearts of human-kind, leaving behind destruction & despair.

    gossip reaps only death, in the end…

    The very essence of Life is snuffed out by each whispered tale.

    Gossips are Murderers

    Imagine, if you will, a realm where demons dance gleefully, feasting on the souls of those who indulge to the temptation of backbiting and gossip.

    Whenever someone speaks malicious or idle words to another person, the Spirit of God is not within the expansion of those involved.

    He withdraws, taking away the sweetness of their speech because they’ve fallen into entropy. .

    Left to their own devices, continuing in destructive actions without realizing the error of their ways.

    Blinded.

    Flickering Divine Light – Darkened

    The once bright Divine Light now flickers, weakening it’s memory in their minds: as gossip spreads and consumes everything.

    Lives are shattered, dreams obliterated, as the poison of gossip seeps into every crevice of the human experience.

    What could have been salvaged, gossip obliterated.

    Families are ripped apart by harsh words, causing their love and unity to crumble away.

    A Feast For Demons

    Oh, the demons love to feast upon the soul of the gossiper.

    They revel in the chaos they sow, multiplying the minds’ desires, the host; nonethewiser.

    Demons revel in the pain and suffering inflicted upon the unsuspecting.

    As each backbiting whisper escapes the lips of man, a piece of humanity’s collective soul rots, cut off forever and thrown into the void of outer darkness.

    The Black Hole.

    God’s Tears Snuff the Flames of Compassion

    The darkness grows, entwining around the hearts of the gossipmongers, suffocating the light of compassion and empathy from the once Holy temple.

    The Spirit of God weeps…

    They use their neighbors and brothers broken heart and tears as mere stones for entertainment. Judging all while overlooking their own wicked and judgmental hearts. Proudly, they persist in their lack of discernment.

    So the Spirit of God’s mercy and grace falls on deaf ears.

    But the victims are truly heard and will be avenged, lest the aggressors repent from the heart.

    HOPE EMERGES

    Revelations of Secret Schemes

    In the midst of this bleak landscape, a glimmer of hope will emerge.

    He already has.

    A singular figure, not cloaked in Light, but is Light Himself.

    He stands amidst this lower chaos as pur, in a world enslaved by darkness.

    He Wields the Sword of Righteousness

    Ready to strike down the liars and deceitful-hearted, as the Father commands…

    They blindly consume humanity’s purity with washed hands, foolishly  destroying all in their wake, pretending all is OK.

    The Guardian of Truth moves with purpose and determination.

    Hope Swings His Sword, Fiercely

    With each swing of His Sword, a wave of Truth washes into  the souls of rebellious haters, dispelling the illusion of the  shadows clouding their judgment, awakening their Eyes.

    Awakening the dead.

    He irons all the crooked things straight, disposing of all the broken pieces that crumble.

    God is no respector of persons.

    Victory Over Demons

    The demons, once gleeful in their malevolence, now cower in fear at the sight of the Guardian’s radiant presence. His mission will be fulfilled.

    The Guardian of Truth Continues on His Salvific Quest.

    The gossipmongers, once consumed by their own darkness & tickled by the shameless cruelty, begin to see the error of their ways, deeper into God, they can contrast the wickedness of self.

    They begin to receive His Grace, forming Mercy  to develop in their once jaded hearts, revenge transmuting into love .

    The tendrils of gossip that once ensnared their heart and mind begin to loosen as the Light of Grace and Mercy force its way in, according to Creation’s Blueprint founded on the Word.

    Them who are Saved will mourn, they’ll lament over their wickedness, shame saves them.

    Friendships, once lost to the ravages of gossip’s savagery, begin to mend.

    In every slice of division by His  wielding sword, His creation is  opened… cracked wide, laid bare, vulnerable and weak.

    His strength is  made perfect in weakness.

    The demons, sensing the loosening grip they have upon the decedents of Adam.

    The delusional belief in the control they had over humanity slips away, out of their control.

    The demons will launch one final, desperate assault.

    The Guardian of Truth stands firm as the Lion of Judah  Savior, not permitting a single soul within His flock to stray.

    In Him, the soul can never be touched by the flesh’s defilement and foolish disposition.

    His sword is raised high, ready to defend the innocent chosen ones from the low degenerates.

    He avenges the blood that cries out to God from the ground.

    He will vanquish the darkness from His sheep once and for all, Never again blind not mute, all duality expelled from our consciousness, eternally free from this matrix.

    Demons Banished

    With a mighty swing, the demons are banished to the dense and heavy Realm, desending lower and lower, falling into the permant realm of nothingness, the laughter silenced eternally.

    Banned from absorbing any more light from the ethers, never to feel the expansion of Physical LAW nor experience the of evolution again.

    And so, in the aftermath of the coming battle, a new era will dawn, a new Earth and a new Heaven.

    All succumb to the reward of their works. Secure in their ways of gossip and backbiting, no room is available in their hearts for God, false Gods they became.

    Truth Prevails

    For in the end, it is the truth that prevails, the light that conquers the darkness shines forever.

    The Spirit of God guides us in His ways, being attuned to His frequency.

    He keeps us on the path to salvation, keeping us in the way.

    The Lord of Truth, through His sacrifices made in our very hearts, speaks what is into being.

    Making our bodies His Temple, as He remains seated on His Throne.

    We are initiated by the Word of the Creator, in the Name of Righteousness, we are kept and preserved by His faith through His grace and mercy.

    A Poem Of Hope

    In every heart, His presence resides,
    A beacon of hope that never subsides,
    Each step we take, our faith amplified,
    His love is our anchor, in Him, we abide.

    Let us be the light amidst despair,
    Spreading His message of infinite care,
    For in His love, we can not be ensnared,
    Our course is clear, in His embrace, we are spared.

    As beacons of His love, we must shine bright,
    Illuminating the soul’s darkest of night,
    His guidance is our unwavering Light,
    In Him we conquer every shadow and fright.

    In times of fear, let us not be afraid,
    His love is our armor, His word our aid,
    His grace, a path through darkness, has paved,
    Through Him, all obstacles can be allayed.

    So let us trust in His eternal embrace,
    His presence within each heart, a saving grace,
    With faith as our compass, we’ll win this race,
    For in His light, we’ll find our rightful place.

    Why Study Theology?

    7 Reasons ALL Christians Should Study Theology

    Are you a Christian seeking a deeper understanding of your faith? Do you desire to grow spiritually and engage more meaningfully with God? If so, studying theology is essential for your journey. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of theology in the lives of believers and why it should be an integral part of every Christian’s pursuit of God. From uncovering the character of God to discerning His will, from glorifying His holiness to appreciating His perfection, theology offers a framework for spiritual growth and enriches our worship. Join us as we delve into these seven compelling reasons why every Christian should study theology. Let’s embark on this exciting journey of discovery and deepen our faith together.

    Reasons We Should All Study Theology:

    1. To know the character of God.

    God’s character is complex, encompassing attributes like love, justice, mercy, and truth. Seeking a deeper understanding of these attributes, how they interact, and how they are prioritized can guide our own development towards Christ-like virtues. However, our finite human minds can never fully comprehend an infinite God; thus, this goal must be pursued with humility.

    “But let him who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord. – Jeremiah 9:24

    2. To serve the will of God.

    Christians need theology to serve the will of God because theology provides the framework and understanding necessary to discern God’s will. Serving God’s will invites ongoing study, prayer, and discernment within community as our understanding evolves. Interpreting scripture lies at the heart of theology.

    “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” – Romans 12:2

    3. To glorify the holiness of God.

    Theology can aid in glorifying the holiness of God by providing a deeper understanding of what constitutes God’s holiness and how we can reflect it in our lives. The concept of holiness varies among different theological traditions, but it generally involves moral purity, reverence, and imitating divine qualities such as justice, love, and compassion.

    “Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy.” – Psalm 99:9

    4. To enjoy the attributes of God.

    God offers qualities like eternal life, unconditional love, and perfect justice that surpass human experience. Theology aids in enjoying God by broadening views of these attributes beyond literal terms to contemplate their spiritual implications. However, enjoyment must avoid objectifying God or claiming their full comprehension, as God remains a mystery.

    “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” – Psalm 34:8

    5. To love the perfection of God.

    To truly love the perfection of God, theology is needed. It allows us to explore the nature of God’s perfection and understand what it truly means. Is it absolute power, moral character, omniscience, or something else entirely? Through theology, we can delve into these questions with humility, knowing that our limited perspectives cannot fully grasp the fullness of God. Theology also helps us navigate the diverse interpretations and expressions of perfection within different theological traditions. Ultimately, theology enables us to deepen our love and appreciation for God’s perfection as we continue to grow in our relationship with Him.

    “As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.” – Psalm 18:30

    6. To absorb the Word of God.

    Absorbing scripture involves complex theological tasks of interpretation within religious, cultural, and linguistic contexts. Tensions exist between literal and metaphorical readings, as well as evolving understandings of plenary inspiration. Theology digs deeper into these challenges to aid in a more complete absorption of the multi-faceted gem that is God’s Word.

    “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” – Psalm 119:105

    7. To worship the person of God.

    Theology plays a crucial role in the worship of God by providing a deeper understanding and appreciation of His personhood. Through theological study, believers can explore the mysteries of God’s nature and attributes, such as the Trinity or the dual nature of Christ. These theological concepts guide and enrich the way we worship.

    Furthermore, theology acknowledges the diversity of religious expression and the various ways people approach worship. Different theological traditions have their unique perspectives on how to best honor and worship God. By engaging in theological reflection, we gain a broader understanding of these perspectives and can appreciate the richness and beauty of God’s diverse creation.

    Ultimately, theology enables us to approach worship with humility and awe, recognizing the limits of human knowledge in comprehending the divine. It guides us to hold reverence for the mysteries that surround God, allowing room for ongoing growth and revelation. Through theological study and reflection, we deepen our love and adoration for God, finding new ways to express our devotion and honor the One who is beyond our full understanding.

    “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.” – Matthew 4:10

    In conclusion, studying theology is essential for every Christian seeking a deeper understanding of their faith and a more meaningful relationship with God. Through theology, we can embark on an exciting journey of discovery, deepening our knowledge of God’s character, discerning His will, glorifying His holiness, enjoying His attributes, loving His perfection, absorbing His Word, and worshiping His personhood.

    By studying theology, we open ourselves up to the vast richness and complexity of God’s nature and invite ongoing growth and revelation in our spiritual journey. It is through theological study and reflection that we cultivate humility, recognizing the limits of human knowledge in comprehending the divine. This humility enables us to approach worship with awe and reverence, honoring the mysteries that surround God and finding new ways to express our devotion.

    As Christians, let us embrace the call to study theology, not to merely accumulate knowledge, but to allow it to transform us and enrich our walk with God. Let theology be a gateway to a deeper understanding of our faith and a means to engage more meaningfully with our Creator. Together, let us embark on this exciting journey of discovery and deepen our faith, as we seek to know and worship God more fully.

    “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” – 2 Peter 3:18
