The current “worldly” systems are the creation of, and under the dominion of “the god of this world”. <br /> <br />Those who “love this world” all serve “the god of this world”, and play their part in the processes that seek to destroy The Creation of The Only True GOD. “And The Only True GOD will destroy them who destroy the earth.” (Rev 11:18c) <br /> <br />Global warming, polluted air, land and waters, toxic wastes, sexual perversion, evil inventions of destruction, greed, hate, carnal warfare, dis-ease ,,,etc,,, are all destructive processes that have their root in “the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life”. <br /> <br />The Truth Is Alive in those who have been born of The Spirit for “they no longer love this wicked, evil world and it’s things, nor do they love their own lives in this world”. <br /> <br />They but seek and desire The Will of GOD, their Father and Creator, as they await their final transformation. “Corruptible to Incorruptible" ndeed and Truth! <br /> <br />Now “the ground was cursed for Adam’s sake” because he “hearkened unto the woman”. <br /> <br />Adam listened to a woman rather than obeying The Only True GOD. Yet because of Faithful Noah, The Only True GOD “no longer would curse the ground for man’s sake” because Noah obeyed The Only True GOD! (Genesis 8:21-22) <br /> <br />And the Faithful today are exhorted to “love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.” <br /> <br />Be not of those who deny and defy “The One GOD, Father of All”. Be not of those who are destroying and perverting the earth(land, air, water, vegetation, creatures) and perverting that which is Spirit(Light, Truth, Life, Love, Peace, Hope, Mercy, Faith, .etc.)! <br /> <br />“Set your affections on things above”. Desire heavenly, eternal things. Quit serving ‘time’ in the prison that is this world and take heed unto The Call of "The Only True GOD" to ”Come Out of her, MY people!”<br /> <br />“Come out” from among those who are destroying and perverting Creation and be of those who follow The Messiah on “The Way to The Truth of The Life”.<br /> <br />“Come out” of the worldly systems, which are the product of mankind’s “imag”ination, especially the systems of religion. "Pure religion and undefiled before GOD The Father is this, to visit the fatherless(those who know not their Father[Creator]) and widows(those who have not experienced The Messiah and The Power that raised Him from among the dead") in their affliction and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the world." (James 1:27) <br /> <br />Simply, all other religions are impure, defiled and of this wicked, evil world!<br /> <br />Faith will not create a system of religion!<br /> <br />Peace, in spite of the dis-ease(no-peace) that is of this world and it's systems of religion, for "the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one" indeed and Truth.......<br /> <br />Truth is never ending....... thedestructionoftheearth.wordpress.comelderchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782689.post-18895000574117197382009-06-18T08:00:16.282-06:002009-06-18T08:00:16.282-06:00Why have your portion in a religion that is of thi...Why have your portion in a religion that is of this world, when believers are exhorted to:<br /><br />“Love Not The World”<br /> <br />”For the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one”(I John 5:19) <br /> <br />“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world will pass away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of The Only True GOD will abide for ever.” (I John 2:15-17)<br /> <br />“If you were of the world, the world would love it’s own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his Master. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also.” (John 15:19-20)<br /> <br />“Where do wars and fighting among you come from? Do they not come of your lusts that war in your members? You lust, and have not: you kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: you fight and war yet you have not, because you ask not. You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you may consume it upon your lusts. You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is to be at enmity with The Only True GOD? Therefore whoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of The Only True GOD.” (James 4:1-4)<br /> <br />“The world cannot hate you; but the world hates Me, because I testify that the works of this world are evil.” (John 7:7)” and “The Messiah gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of The Only True God, Our Father.”(Gal 1:4) <br /> <br />The Messiah testified: “If the world hates you know that it hated Me before it hated you.”(John 5:18) Truly, Truly, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life in this world shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall have it unto life eternal.” (John 12:24-25)<br /> <br />John testified: “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.” (I John 3:13) “ James testified, “Whoever would be a friend of this world is the enemy of GOD”(James 4:4)<br /> <br />The “earth and it's life forms” are The Creation of The Only True GOD, Father of ALL! The “worldly” systems are the creation of, and under the dominion of “the god of this world”, he who is “the father of lies”, he who “has blinded the minds of those who believe not The Messiah”! All the nations of this world are under the dominion of, and serve, the evil one for he provides the fuel that feeds mankind’s “imag”ination, and mankind’s “imagination is destroying and perverting Creation(land, air, water, vegetation, creatures, Light, Truth, Life, Love, Peace, Faith, Simplicity, .etc.) ;-(<br /><br />(continued)elderchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827206019505093406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782689.post-68938544853453557782008-11-19T07:30:00.000-06:002008-11-19T07:30:00.000-06:00Just for the record, my usage of the picture of Bi...Just for the record, my usage of the picture of Bill Gates was to emphasize the point made by this post. How would you treat Mr. Gates if you saw him? What if he wasn't Bill Gates- former CEO of Microsoft? What if he was just a regular Joe (even if that isn't Joe The Plumber), making $100k/ year? I'm sure we'd all like to think that we'd treat him equally, regardless of fame, fortune, saved, or unsaved, etc., but the reality is, we don't really know until we get to that situation. That's why we should purpose in our hearts in advance to do right.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579880721905779355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782689.post-65980947105220056582008-11-12T23:26:00.000-06:002008-11-12T23:26:00.000-06:00Thank you Noah!

We were like, "No, that can't be him here. It's got to be his wife. He would've just left the hospital." So, sure enough, we go walking over there, and no one was at the counter. So, Nikki wanted to look at hair dye, and we got over there and there was a rather strong smell- an A-1 bottle had broken. I said I'd go get someone to clean it up, so I walked back to the pharmacy. Needless to say, I forgot all about the broken A-1 bottle cause Bwana was standing at the pharmacy as the lady was explaining all his medication to him. We waited for him to finish (didn't want to scare him for obvious reasons), and when he turned around, he saw us all standing there a few feet away and sat down to talk. He said he'd be sending a prayer letter in the next few days, so I'll let him talk about it himself. Keep praying for him and his wife.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579880721905779355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17782689.post-69019301208472258792008-04-24T21:18:00.000-06:002008-04-24T21:18:00.000-06:00First time I've been able to check my email or Fac...First time I've been able to check my email or Facebook and see if anyone had any updates on this prayer request.

I think of all the Peruvians I am seeking to impact for Christ--some who are not saved and some who I am discipling. Christ can directly speak to them because they are reading the Word.
