Bible Prophecy and Inspiration

Proverbs 11:9 – ⁹ With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor,
but through knowledge the righteous escape.

Godless people destroy the people around them by leading them astray.  That’s happening around us in all forms today.  When I was younger I was allowed to watch mostly anything I wanted.  I was influenced by the fun party movies growing up.  They made it look attractive, fun, and exciting.  Most party movies don’t show the terrible consequences that follow shortly after.  They don’t show the dead end.

That’s the way it is with all sin that is being peddled by those who don’t know God or are adverse to Him.  God is very serious though when it comes to those that spew evil from their lips and dissuade others from coming to Him.

Matthew 18:5-7 – ⁵ “And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. ⁶ But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

⁷ “Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!

Knowledge is what will help the righteous escape.  That knowledge is that of the Lord.  Your Bible, God’s Word, is where that knowledge is available.  It’s called the Living Word for a reason.  It isn’t just that it is alive for us today, but because it will allow others to live if we share it and can get them to read it.

With their mouth the godless destroy.  There are words of life and their are words of death.  Choose to study the Word everyday that you can and choose life.

Galatians 5:1 – ¹ It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Ironic isn’t it.  The devil and evil spirits every day try to convince you that doing your own sinful thing is what makes you free.

As it turns out, freedom comes in the way of accepting Christ and having our sins forgiven.

Satan doesn’t want you to know the real slavery comes from being controlled by your sinful nature.  If you don’t think you’re being controlled by these things try giving them up.

The bigger problem many times isn’t rather you can give them up, but the fact you don’t want to and they are contrary to what the Lord wants.

We need to change our “want to”.  We need to read the Word of God and change it to “what it needs to be.”

We were made by the Lord, so don’t think that those things we are supposed to be are that alien to us.  We just have to get close to God and Christ and then it sinks in.  There’s your missing link.  It isn’t some Neanderthal, but the Holy Spirit which is disconnected until we connect Him back in through Jesus.

Since we are all sinners, it doesn’t come naturally.  It comes by allowing the Holy Spirit in to dwell.

Free yourself from your sinful nature and discover your new eternal destiny with a loving Savior and Lord in Jesus Christ.

Deuteronomy 7:1-4 – ¹ When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites
and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you— ² and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally.  Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. ³ Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, ⁴ for they will turn your sons away from following me to serve other gods, and the LORD’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you.

Almost everyone who doesn’t know God well really struggles with Him sending in the Israelites to destroy nations that are in the Land.

Why was he sending them in?  Because they were evil!

Why were they evil?  Because they were serving other Gods and doing detestable things in God’s sight.

What is evil?  It’s the opposite of what God has made to be good.  God is good.  The further away from
God, the more evil things get.

So who struggles with this?  I’ll tell you.  Arrogant people who will decide themselves what evil is.  They will make that decision and will not be told by anyone what good and evil are.  They believe to go in and
destroy a nation that isn’t serving God is evil.  Who are they to say?

Look what God says in the scripture above.  Do not intermarry with them for they will turn your sons away to serve other Gods.

Then what?  The Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you.

WOW!  It looks like God cares and takes this pretty serious.  So those who completely disregard His Word or look at it as if it is evil, it doesn’t look like he will be a big fan of that come judgment time.

God makes the rules.  He God, we creation.  However, with the fall came the prideful arrogant gene.

Who wants to make amends with God?  I do.  I hope you do to.  You don’t want to ultimately be on the wrong side.  If you don’t know Him and want to receive His redemption, please go to the page on
