JESUS MUST HAVE THE PREEMINENCE

Many little kingdoms stand
That are built on sinking sand
They are built on sinking sand.
Money, power and prestige,
Have now put the saints at ease.
Have now put the saints at ease.

CHORUS:
Jesus must have the preeminence.
Jesus must have the preeminence.
He is the King of all kings.
He is the King of all kings.
No man may take the preeminence.
Jesus must have the preeminence.
He is the King of all kings.
He is the King of all kings.

Many doctrines are now taught,
Those who don’t seek Him are caught.
Those who don’t seek Him are caught.
Ever learning lies that bind,
But the Truth they do not find.
But the Truth they do not find.

And we read how it’s revealed
to apostles as they yield
to apostles as they yield
As they yield in unity
For the Spirit sets them free.
For the Spirit sets them free.

They are sent there to receive.
Human logic would deceive.
Human logic would deceive.
God, by wisdom, formed His plan.
His plan isn’t based in man.
His plan isn’t based in man.

Manifest in ministries,
Who’ve been set in sovereignty,
Who’ve been set in sovereignty.
They are set by God’s own hand,
Built on rock and not on sand.
Built on rock and not on sand.

ONE WAY TO AVOID BEING DECEIVED.

We all know persuasive people. Some people are more persuasive than others. They know how to use voice inflection and words to convince and persuade others. You’ll find an entire section of your local library dedicated to books on sales, negotiation, and persuasion. The world of advertising is a world where persuasive people apply their skills to convince you to do something or avoid doing something. Persuasive people have developed and taught various methods of persuasion. Some of these methods use hypnotic techniques and deceptive practices. Politicians and salespeople often take classes to learn how to use advanced techniques such as neurolinguistic programming, which is a method of hypnosis. They learn how to hypnotize you without you realizing they’re doing it. At higher levels, some persuaders have artificial-intelligence computer applications they can use to analyze human languages and formulate sentences that will persuade the majority of people in a certain group. I’ve gone over a few of the techniques persuaders use against you and those around you. Couple these techniques with peer pressure, fear-mongering, and hate-mongering, and you’re living in perilous times.

However, no one has to allow the persuaders to deceive them. There is a place where deceit, lies, uncertainty, and fear can’t reach you. That’s the point, and you already have enough information to harness it in your life.

There is one way to avoid being deceived. Stand in the presence of Jesus. Listen to His voice. Yield to His sweet Spirit.

JESUS IS THERE

There are times when earth’s sorrows
Bring heartaches to bear,
And life’s troubles weigh heavy,
With no one to share.
All of my heartaches, all of my cares,
All of my burdens Jesus will share.

It’s then that I turn to my Saviour and friend,
Who with each trial, a blessing will send.
He gives me comfort, He gives me care.
His hand will guide me, Jesus is there.

Jesus is standing outside my heart’s door,
I only must open to sup with the Lord.
Jesus, a table has spread there for me,
Filled with the goodness of heaven for me.

And lo, though my sorrow be more than I bear,
My loved ones with Jesus and I’ll meet them there.
All of my heartaches, all of my cares,
All of my burdens, Jesus will share.

Information War: ALL knowledge is hidden in Christ.

We’re hearing more about information warfare lately. Most of those who are talking about information warfare don’t realize how long the war has been going on.

Beginning in the 1600s, Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz built on the rationalism of Augustine and Aquinas who build on the rationalism of Plato, Pythagoras, and the early Greeks. Rationalism is the idea that the Human mind can self-generate knowledge and wisdom without the benefit of either divine revelation or observation. With a philosophy like that, human thinking can go anywhere.

The war got hot in the 1800s. James Hutton, Charles ll, Charles Darwin, and Charles Kingsley laid the foundation for today’s information warriors. First, James Hutton and Charles Lyell had to create an illusion. They developed stories about the earth being much older than the Bible defines and labeled these stories as “science.” And they succeeded. They got theologians to shoehorn long ages into the Bible.

Advances in science have since debunked all Hutton’s and Lyell’s old-earth arguments, but they had already done irreversible damage. The information warriors of that day used all the tactics of today’s information warriors. They used magic words like “science” and “evidence.” They had no science or evidence. They just used the words “science” and “evidence.” They used personal attacks and coercion.

JESUS IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

Jesus is the resurrection and the life.
If any can believe it they will never die.
If any can receive it they will never die.
Press on into this Kingdom life.

Gifts and fruits of the Spirit must appear in us,
Every Kingdom element must be restored.
All ministries and offices the Word records,
And perfect unity is a must.

The little separate kingdoms exalting men,
The Babylon of voices must surely fall,
And speculated doctrine with convincing call,
Shall topple at the Lord’s command.

Emotion can’t inherit eternal life,
But yielding to God’s Spirit is what gives us life.
The fruit of reasoned doctrine is only strife.
Submission to the Spirit gives us life.

All the man-made orders exalt the flesh.
To grow to life in Jesus, all our flesh must die.
The Spirit of the Kingdom makes the flesh all die,
So live to God and kill your flesh.

God created you to always stay connected to the Almighty

The godless outlook is meaningless, purposeless, and ultimately unsatisfying. God created you to always stay connected to the Almighty in love. In that bond, you find the only place where meaning, purpose, and satisfaction can exist.

Scripture says “I shall be satisfied when I awake with His likeness.” You can only be satisfied as God transfigures you into the likeness of Christ. Without that holy union with the divine, the godless person reaches out for meaning, purpose, and satisfaction but always comes up empty.

Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones sang, “I can’t get no satisfaction.” And you can have no satisfaction without Christ.

So, the godless mind looks for satisfaction in all sorts of places that can’t yield satisfaction. The result is depression and addiction. In the end, many naturalists turn to the occult trying to find meaning. They end up enslaved to Lucifer in one way or another.

The godless outlook is the reason the world is in chaos. It’s the reason schools and news programs promote all their senseless ideas.

If you have been born again, there’s no need to have a minute godless outlook. You can walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, listening to the voice of the Father and yielding to His Spirit, every second of every day. If you lose your focus, just confess your fault to Him. He is faithful and just to set you back on the Pathway to Life.

JESUS IS THE O

Jesus is the only Truth that matters.
He’s the only Truth that can withstand the test.
In His presence all my arguments are shattered.
In His presence is the only place of rest.

I will seek Him and know Him.
I will walk in all His ways yielding to His grace.
I will seek Him and know Him.
Pressing on to know the Lord . . . until I see Him face to face.

The intelligence of men just doesn’t matter.
As they analyze, their thoughts are sadly vain.
All their reasoning is so much empty chatter,
When the Lord’s the only Truth that will remain.

CHORUS

Reasoned dogma cannot test the True Foundation.
Jesus is the Truth and Doctrine I embrace.
All the ramblings of my interpretation,
I will disregard and I will seek His face.

We Christians too often forget to tune in to God

Since the ungodly thinker knows nothing, the ungodly thinker can’t rationally make any claims. If the ungodly thinker can’t rationally make any claims, it’s irrational for the ungodly thinker to claim no one can know anything. And yet, the ungodly thinker claims to know my inner experiences with Christ. The ungodly thinker ends up claiming to be all-knowing. I’ve had a few who claimed to be a god. Some claim to know God doesn’t exist, which is a claim to know all things.

Skepticism is an empty outlook. It’s a godless outlook. With such an outlook, there’s no rational reason for goodness, kindness, or love. Skeptics may gain personally from some sort of imitation goodness, kindness, or love. Skeptics may want to make themselves appear to be good people. It makes them feel good. Plus, it makes others trust them and like them, which is useful for their self-interest. What they do is self-serving.

By the way, this self-serving self-righteousness is a mental trap into which any of us could easily fall. Guard your heart. We, as Christians, spend far too much of our time in godless thinking. We forget to live in the presence of the Almighty God. We forget to tune in to God. We tune out far too often. We come into the spiritual realm, and we go back out. However, one day, you’ll go in and never come back out. God will cleanse you from your fleshly nature and form you into the likeness of Christ.

THE PATTERN OF DISCUSSIONS WITH UNGODLY THINKERS

I’ve patiently worked through this pattern of thinking with many godless thinkers. Doing that is time-consuming. It requires persistence and a respectful attitude. It takes active-listening skills and patience. After well over 100 conversations like this, a pattern developed. I could predict where the ungodly thinker would take the conversation. Here’s the pattern:

1. The ungodly thinker insists he or she is correct and the one who knows.
2. The ungodly thinker finally admits he or she knows nothing.
3. The ungodly thinker claims no one (and that always included me) can know anything.
4. The ungodly thinker claims Christ can’t reveal anything to anyone, which is a claim to know every human being’s inner spiritual experiences.
5. The ungodly thinker finds a way to justify making claims.
6. The ungodly thinker insists he or she is correct and is the one who knows.

This isn’t surprising when you understand something about the spiritual realm. Jesus Christ is the Light. He Lights every person. When someone rejects the Light, that righteousness, wisdom, and knowledge that flows from Christ, that person is turned over to their own fallen mind that’s subject to demon lies. Demons want nothing but to kill, injure, and destroy.

The Godless Outlook

Most godless thinkers don’t easily admit they can’t get knowledge. They have no path to knowledge. They end up with bare claims and smokescreen fallacies if you can get down to the root of their thinking. (That takes patience.)

 

Even those who teach postmodernism deny that they can’t get knowledge. Keep in mind that postmodernism is the belief that no one can attain knowledge. They teach that, and they still end up on both sides of the argument. They claim no one can know anything. Then they make a special case for themselves. You can’t blame them for using a double-standard. After all, how can they argue for postmodernism if they admit they don’t know anything?

 

Some of them will finally admit, after much discussion, they can’t know anything. Then, they claim to know all things by claiming to know Jesus Christ can’t reveal reality to you. Worse than that is what they usually do next. The next move they usually make is to reverse themselves and find some way to justify their own thinking. They claim to be the right ones after claiming no right or wrong exists. And they claim you are in error after claiming no truth or error exist.

 

REALITY

 

Jesus is real. All wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. He is the Light Who gives light to every person. Not all will thank Him or give Him the glory. Many take the glory for themselves. All who sincerely seek Him find Him. He leads, teaches, and corrects all who follow Him. Those who listen to His voice and yield to His Spirit to the point that He can do His righteousness through them begin to mature in the Spirit. With maturity comes better and closer communication with Christ.

Jesus Has Come To His Body

Human pride and ego would like to find something worth keeping in the fallen carnal mind.

One astronaut says there’s no doubt the universe is full of life but that this life is so different from what you would expect that you can’t see it. Think about that reasoning.

The reason there is no evidence is you can’t see the evidence, so there is evidence, but you just can’t see it.

Premise: you can’t see the evidence for the supposed “life in the universe.”
Conclusion: The universe is full of life.

The fact that you can’t see the evidence proves the universe is full of life.

Fantastic!

A top evolutionist tells you evolution can be observed but not when it’s happening. The premise is you can’t observe evolution while it’s happening. The conclusion is you can observe evolution.

Premise: You can’t observe evolution while it’s happening.

Conclusion: You can observe evolution, just not when it’s happening.

The fact that you can’t observe evolution while it’s happening proves you can observe evolution happening when it’s not happening.

Really?

Another evolutionist tells you the problem with those who don’t believe in the stories of evolution is they lack imagination.

Premise: someone’s imagination.

Conclusion: the stories of molecules-to-humanity evolution happened.
Imagination proves that evolution happened.

Oh?

These examples are real. Real people said those things. You need true premises, and the premises must prove the conclusion. Without truth, sanity disappears.

Only in the Living Christ is truth. He is the truth. All wisdom and knowledge is hidden in Him. Human pride and ego would like to find something worth keeping in the fallen carnal mind. There is nothing of value there. It must be converted or transfigured into Christ from glory to glory by listening to Christ’s leading, choosing Christ’s leading, and allowing the Spirit of Christ to do His righteousness through you by His grace. Each choice is a single step into the Kingdom of God and all the authority and power that comes with being a mature son of God.
