In the Beginning God!

Not knowing who you are makes you a victim

And the devil will be waiting for you.

In the beginning, God created heaven and earth, and the only way for any human to understand and accept this information as the truth from God, the person must be born again. However, if you are not born again, then there is absolutely no way for you to ever receive divine truth. Listen, people who are not saved are souls without direction. However, saved people do have direction but it's only because they have been born again, which means, they do not walk according to the flesh. As for the unbelievers, this simply means, you do whatever you believe is best for you. In this realm, you will not accept help from anyone. Believe that if you want, but know this fact, apart from God’s conversion, all lost souls will no doubt become duped believers in the evolution theory. Meaning, you are a believer of worldly deductions. Yet, without Biblical truths as a witness, you’ve become a lost soul. Let me put it like this; many people really believe that there is no God, and that is why so many folks have decided to be a follower of the world and such have willfully rejected the Bible and what it stands for. Now please get this. Everyone is given a chance to receive and comprehend with a moment of peace that the salvation plan affords them. But when people decide with their own minds, that this salvation is not for them; well, my friends; that’s when the real trouble magnifies in an individual’s life. Which clearly means, you don’t know who you really are , and that is why you have been compromised by the devil's sublimation. Divine truth is from the Lord, and if we are not connected to him, we are nothing more than lost souls without a shepherd to lead us. Again, therefore we all must first have a divine encounter with the Spirit of the Lord. Once more, it will be at that time in our life when we are hidden from the constant bombardment of lies from the devil. It is then when that gift of the mustard seed faith kicks in. Therefore, we can then take advantage of that moment of rest and clearly hearing the Lord, and then take advantage of that opportunity to accept or reject the Gospel. The moment we have acceptance of God’s agenda, He will reveal you, to you. This means that old things have passed away, and now you are a new creature in Christ. You are now born again, and you no longer are bound by the flesh, which is controlled by Satan. The Father makes it clear that He will keep our minds in perfect peace if we place all our thoughts and trust in Him. Within this new peace all lost souls shall be able to recognize God’s peace that passes all understanding, meaning no matter what is going on around you, faith expresses to you, God has got your back. Saved people have no reason why they should run from the devil. We are to resist the devil and he will flee from us, and as we get closer to God, He gets closer to us. Surmising says we are not victims, because we are now connected to the divine vine. And greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. The Bible wants to tell us this, from the Holy.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. {John 15:5-7}

1. In other words, if you are not born again, you are not connected to the Lord of resources. This means you have no protection for your mind. Meaning to say, the mind is the war ground of the Spiritual warfare. Again, that which is flesh is flesh, and they that are in the flesh will not do anything to please God, and this is but one clear sign that such a soul is not of God, nor indeed can they be. If our minds are not under a divine warranty, we will not know the plan of God, nor will we be able to make sound decisions that are not fleshly based. What we will be able to do, is carry out the will of the devil, because such folk are now born again in the likeness of Satan the father of lies. Without a stable mind, one must become a captive and then be turned out into the world to sow discord among the people of God. Again, lost souls have no direction, so they just wonder aimlessly around sinning wherever they find themselves at.

2. Anyone who will not follow the word of the Lord, at their own hands, are now susceptible to all the rules and regulations of this sinful world. Once more, I must reiterate this to you. Please listen, in this cave of doubt, you will never be able to make clear decisions for yourselves, because you have not submitted your bodies or your mind to the will of the Lord. Therefore, you are vulnerable to easily be persuaded to follow the leading of worldly leaders. I might also add emotion is the god that is leading them. This was very evident to view in the past election: People being led by emotions and disregarding the direction of the Lord, which is to vote Biblically even despite what is going on around us. Listen, if you do not know what the truth really is, how then is it possible for you to be able to clearly make a sound decision. Again, if you are broken off or cut off from the vine, you are in the world without God's divine covering. And if this is a reality for you, well then citizen, you need wisdom from above and not from below heaven. You do not have any divine mind protection, which comes through conversion within the divine plan of the Lord. So once more, and I cannot say this enough. If you have become a captive of the devil, it was at your own hands through rejection of the Lord.

James 1:5-8 says: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not this man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Listen, only Christian people, willingly rely on the Lord for guidance, know without a doubt, that no matter what is going down, God is in control. Again, this is based upon a solid connection with the vine, Jesus the Christ of God. Once more, stability comes with a Spiritual connection to the vine. So, when you will not acknowledge God, you have no liberty within his peace. Your pride has informed you firmly that it's not in your best interest to accept what the Bible that some man wrote as truth you need to fallow.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. {Romans 12:1-2}

3. If the Lord is in you, well then, you will be able to bring forth much fruit. Meaning to say, you will only act on what you know to be the truth, despite what others say. Even when your family turns on you, you will be able to stand on the word of God, but as you have read, you cannot do anything without the Lord helping you. Listen, you can get saved but fall away because you have chosen to listen to the people in the world and you have bowed down to worldly patterns. Please get this. “Falling is a matter of choice and not a mistake.” Ambassador Ray K. Payne. Again, if you are connected to the Lord, you will know what is that good and perfect will of the father for you is. This also means you do know who you are, and you also know who has your back. In other words, with God all things are possible. However, without His guidance the devil will come for you and take you captive, and the word says he will do this at his own leisure. So, then the reason why you can become a victim is because you are either not connected to the vine or you were broken off, and you still did not seek a way back to the Lord. So, now you are broken off the vine. Help is no longer available to the lost soul, not because God can't deliver you, but because you have come to your own conclusion, which is, you don't want or need his help. In other words, your conscience has been seared with a hot iron, and you no longer have the need for a divine God. Unknown to you, you have just become a reprobate. So, this next scripture should give you some clarity.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure, afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. {2 Timothy 4:3-5}

Now listen to the Lord if you have ears to hear, because He is talking directly to you, and He is giving you what could be a final way out of your captive’s hold.

Thou shall not make unto thee any graven images, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. {Exodus 20:4-5}

Signs that someone is bowing down to the world and refusing to reach for the hand of the Lord.. This is clear evidence such a person has lost their true identity! Seeing Love but never reaching its source

1. You only want what you want.

2. You do not care about others who are in need, yet it is in your power to help but you will not.

3. You do not read your own Bible.

4. You listen to people of the media telling you how you should live your life, but you know it is not according to the word of the Lord.

5. You willfully do not pay tithes to the church.

6. You are cheating on your spouse.

7. You never have time for your own children.

8. You are a double minded person lead by the wind. There is no fear of God in you. You have become cold to His will.

9. You really do not like your own self. So, you seek out pleasures in place of the Love of God.

10. Your emotions get the best of you, and now your mindset is, “whatever, I don’t care.”

If I had a conclusion, it might go like this. Apart from being connected to Jesus through the salvation plan of God, no one can ever ascertain their real identity. However, you will no doubt quickly realize that the devil is in control of your daily actions. Even when you pray, you still will find that no relief comes; hatred will develop in your heart. Because you are blinded from receiving the truth, the devil has convinced you that God does not love you. But the truth is that you don't love Him, and now you have become another captive of the enemy. Again, the word of the Lord tells you this:

BEHOLD, the Lord’s hands is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. {Isaiah 59:1-2}

If you don't know who you are, once again, you have set yourself up to become a captive of the devil. God is the only one who created all of us, and He alone knows what is best for us. But when we decide to take matters into our own hands, we have kicked God to the side. In other words, such souls have plainly declared through their daily actions, “I don't want what you have to offer God.” In this cove, only one diet is noted: Sin and the other roads that connect to its illusion of self worldly pleasures. In this realm, you are lost without any way out. This also means that you now believe that there is no God. The above scripture is telling you that God cannot hear you if sin is the god of your chose. God doesn't want us to place anything or anyone in front of Him because He is a jealous God. If we do that, well certainly we are then on our own without any divine protection. Again, making a mistake is not the same as making the same mistake over and over again and again. You, who are in Christ Jesus, do have a way out of what you are about to get yourself into. Only seek him. Listen, please. you can’t ever know who you really are unless God opens your sinful blinded eyes. The Father put this in His word,

Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way? {Proverbs 20:24}

I pray that this information has led your mind and you now want to be set free from the chains that have you bound. Please note that this is an opportunity to be set free by the hand of the Lord.
