Never A Fair Fight

Psalm 109:4

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer

I know few people that have taken an unwavering stance against the cv scandal, and the perpetrators that initialized and executed their plan of destruction. My ears perk when I hear of someone that does not back down from the fight against these Satanic adversaries that are full of malice, the blood thirsty murderers that are relentless in their pursuit of capturing, torturing, and killing other human beings, for the sport of it all. It just so happens, that I already am very aware, that when I write like this, and people read my writing, they become agitated ... no one likes to believe in murderous evil, and yet, we have Cain killing his brother Abel out of green eyed envy, and vicious jealousy, in the very first book of The Bible. 

If you know someone that has been raped, or mercilessly beaten, or mentally tortured by a spouse, colleague, teacher, pretend pastor, schoolmate, neighbour, employer, then perhaps you are more inclined to believe, and accept, that cruelty imposed on one human being by another, is possible. The issue as I see it, is this: we cannot stand to look at our own ugly, blackened with sin souls, because then we might have to do something about our habitually nasty ways. Shame washes over the mind and flows over the body in a red rain, when we acknowledge our own secret, and not so secret, sins; if we are not willing to come clean in our individual consciences, then making excuses for other wayward, and often wicked people, becomes a way of life. Do I over-simplify? perhaps, but then again, I will not engage in mental shenanigans, that is the stuff of those with too many words. 

Look at Cain in all his miserable putrid evil eyed envy, and tell me that guy didn't manage to separate himself out from the family of God in a most perfect way. Hate for his brother Abel drove him to blood lust, and to luring his own kin out into a field, to execute his plan of murder. The devil is duplicitous, and so are his children. It is never what is called, a fair fight, between the seed of Satan and the lambs of God. The lambs never suspect that at any moment, they are up for the slaughter, because it is a foreign concept to them, since they would never, ever, do such things to other lambs. They cannot comprehend the danger of the wolves, and it is too late, when they find themselves incapacitated, with teeth buried deeply enough in their throats, to draw blood and extinguish life.

I know people that have been raped. I know people that have suffered the unspeakable loss of murdered loved ones. I know people that experienced soul shaking bullying and cruelty. I know people whose spouses have done unspeakable things to their own children, and I know people that guaranteed that one day, they would kill, because their fathers had killed before them. I know, I have seen, and I had a choice to make to either believe it is true, that some men and women go the way of Cain against their own kin and against other human beings, maiming and murdering the Abel's of this world, the lambs that God loves, or turn a blind eye and pretend that these killers have redemptive traits, they aren't all bad, and make excuses for them, despite their volatile hate inciting words and deeds. 

You get to make the choice too. You get to choose to believe your own eyes and ears when you hear hate speech, the denigrating of other humans, the plans perpetrators speak boldly, when they tell everyone listening outright, what their schemes of corralling, containing, and controlling humanity, consist of. I pray, that for my love in speaking this to you, dear reader, you do not become my adversary. 

Satan could not get God alone in a field and kill him. Satan could not rail against God and seek revenge and win, against his Creator for being the created, and lower than God's prized possession, namely, humanity ... all Satan could do, is try to usurp, mimic, play the contrarian, and covet all that is God's, and convert minds to his manipulative, murderous, lying ways. Satan is masterful in his field of deadly work, and the evidence of this is all around us. He has troops of mercenaries in his employ, and he pays them handsomely for their calamitous services. 

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:17)

Saved, from what, I ask you?

This is the question you must ponder an answer for ... it behooves you to take time to consider that Jesus came to save us from something ... 

Cain is infamously known as the first recorded murderer in The Bible. He was warned before killing his brother; God spoke to him directly about him being wroth following the comparative intentions of the sibling offerings to him. When I looked into Genesis just now, I saw once again, how neatly, how cleanly, God divides, giving us a glimpse into his Sovereign rule, giving us indicators of who people are, and to whom they belong. There is always foreshadowing, and language of a heavenly nature, to draw God's people, and give them understanding and clarity. 

Abel was a shepherd

Cain was a man that worked the land

Abel tended God's sheep

Cain had an attachment to earthly possessions

Abel was heavenly minded, and heaven bound

Cain worshipped the ground he walked upon, and was bound for hell

Abel was murdered for his love of God

Cain murdered from his hate for God and man

Abel was a lamb slain

Cain was Abel's killer

Abel foreshadowed the Lamb of God; the Good Shepherd

Cain demonstrated the capturing of his mind and heart for the cause of Satan

If you cannot fathom scheming, plotting, setting snares, devising divisive murderous plans, then I am thrilled for you ... it means you do not engage in dark thinking and activities; but dear reader, to pretend people do not do such things, is to be willfully ignorant of the facts that scream murder, at every turn: 

Matthew 26:47-49

And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him 

There are many Judas characters that call Jesus master, but with a kiss, signal, hold this one fast for the killing. 

Matthew 7:21

Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven

Doing the will of my Father which is in heaven, not paying lip service to doing his will, differentiates who will enter the kingdom of heaven, and who will not. 

One last marker, dear reader, and then we go our own ways for the day: 

Romans 12:18

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men

When next you hear a public figure say they hate, or suggest that war is necessary, or killing some people is okay over other people, please do consider, whose seed they are, and whether or not they are spokesmen for Satan ... 

Jesus died to save us from those that want us damned: think on that a moment before you depart.
