America's Fatal Eros Love Addiction

In Roman mythology, Cupid usually appeared as a winged infant carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows. Cupid’s arrows would induce wounds of inspired love or passion in all of his victims. Cupid is frequently invoked as a fickle, playful, and deviant (perverse) individual. Cupid sounds much like the lewd and licentious mainstream pop star artists of our day!

.
Eros is the Greek name for this being and also the Greek word for love (i.e., LUST), which describes the unbridled sexual passions of fallen man (Rom. 1:24, 28, 29). The sole desire of Eros love is to find self-gratification or self-fulfillment in another individual. Eros love may give the individual a genuine feeling for or attraction to someone, but the bottom line of this “love” is that it is rooted in a narcissistic (self-centered) mindset (Gal. 5:19; Eph. 5:5; James 1:14-15; Jude 1:10).

Eros love may give the individual a genuine feeling for or attraction to someone, but the bottom line of this “love” is that it is rooted in a narcissistic (self-centered) mindset.

Eros love NEVER seeks to give for the betterment of another individual. Eros love only asks the question, “What can you give me?” What can I get from you to satisfy my hungry, famished soul and my unbridled sexual passions? The reality is that Eros love can never satisfy the unregenerate soul of fallen man; only Almighty God can in RIGHTEOUSNESS (Matt. 11:28-30; John 6:35; James 3:8). Eros love is a burning fire. Once the object is consumed, desire is left looking for more to feed its unquenchable appetite. The more it devours, the more it wants, until the individual is completely ravaged by this monster in its all-consuming addiction. When this Eros monster is left wanting and unfulfilled, anger, resentment, hatred, envy, and bitterness begin to manifest themselves in the possessed individual’s heart and life (Rom. 1:24-26). Thus are created - and grow even heavier - the chains of bondage for the captives of this “Eros-erotic despot."

The number one American addiction is this unbridled beast of Eros-erotic love, i.e., sexual addiction.
...

The unchecked passions of man are an appetite unsatisfied and unstopped by the gratification of the flesh. Like an addict, the unbridled passions of sexually driven men and women create a tsunami of psychological and social discord and physiological disorders that spill over from the individual into our societies and communities. The number one addiction in America today is not cocaine, it is not alcohol, it is not marijuana, it is not heroin, it is not OxyContin, etc. The number one American addiction is this unbridled beast of Eros-erotic love, i.e., sexual addiction (James 1:14-15). This Eros beast is currently reigning supreme and dominant in America in every facet of life, culture, and society, which has only EXPONENTIALLY devoured our culture and society and has made it a demonic wasteland!

True Love

My friends, the absolute polar opposite of mankind's fallen "love" and Eros love is the PERFECT RIGHTEOUS ETERNAL LOVE of Almighty God, our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS CREATOR! Do you know the agape LOVE of Almighty God, which is found ONLY in His Son Jesus Christ? God so LOVED you that he sent His Son to pay the price for our transgressions against the RIGHTEOUS standards of Almighty God (Rom. 10:4; 1 Peter 3:18). Almighty God's PERFECT RIGHTEOUS LOVE desires and seeks ONLY that which is PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS for you in Jesus Christ (Matt. 6:33; John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10)! Almighty God's PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS LOVE only seeks the absolute HIGHEST and BEST in RIGHTEOUSNESS for the object of His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LOVE; and thus TRUE LOVE is found ONLY in Jesus Christ! For TRUE LOVE is a PERSON; And that Person is the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Triune God!

TRUE LOVE is a PERSON, and that Person is the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS  Triune God!

My dear friends, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that! The one true God and Creator of the universe truly loves you (1 John 4:10)! So my dear friends, don’t be one of the millions of Americans today who are truly foolish and stupid and follow godless cupid; but rather my friend, follow the One who LOVED you and gave Himself to you (Gal. 2:20). Place your trust in Him today. You will NEVER be the same – no, NEVER!

The Two Loves of Valentine’s Day

 














This February 14^th, multitudes around the world will be celebrating Valentine’s Day. Roses and candy for loved ones, jewelry and dinner dates - it seems harmless enough - but many truly do not understand the swift, underlying current of the mood of the occasion and how its “24/ 7” godless spirit affects our society and culture. Please do not misunderstand me. I do not want to ruin anyone’s Valentine's Day. Those things (candy, roses, etc.) are perfectly fine and harmless enough, but it is key during this "holiday" to understand the immoral, decadent spirit which is masqueraded as "love" when it really is only lust and self-serving.

On this Valentine’s Day multitudes will engage in the self-pleasing, licentious and immoral acts of fornication that are outside of the timeless, God-ordained and holy institution of marriage (Matt. 19:4-6, Heb.13:4). These will be following in the steps of Cupid while they are unconsciously building wrath for themselves in the coming Day of Judgment (Prov. 5:18-23; Rom. 1:32; 1 Cor. 6:9; Gal. 5:19; Eph. 5:5; Heb. 13:4). Countless neglected spouses will be handed a hypocritical rose for the last years neglect as a token of ones "love" and admiration that does not exist in the relationship.

I know I am sounding like a "square," but stand on the top of the mountain and look down for yourself at where this hypocritical love of fallen man and this seed of godless, licentious behavior will lead and where it has led our nation to. When natural law and heavenly absolutes are abandoned and left out of the “love" equation and definition, expect only societal devastation and ravaging of the soul to follow.

God’s Selfless Love – Agape Love

.

Almighty God’s love vastly transcends the frail and temporal confines of finite man into the ETERNAL REGIONS of foreverness. God’s selfless love seeks only the highest and best towards the object of His love; it is unconditional and selfless and rooted in RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUTH (John 3:16; 1 Cor 13:1-13).

The word Agape (love) in the Greek language describes the highest form of love. This love seeks only the highest and best for its object in all matters of life here in time and in the future eternity. Unlike Eros love, which is rooted in self and a narcissistic agenda, Agape love is rooted in the pinnacle of excellence and selfless expression towards its object. Almighty God’s love (His highest and best) for you and me is nothing less than God Himself and His perfect will for the object of His love (Rom. 8:28, 32, 35; 2 Cor. 2:15, 1 John 4:10). GOD is love. Note God’s love in action towards you and me. The Bible states:

.

For God SO LOVED the world, that HE GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (John 3:16-17).

God GAVE His Son for us so that we should not perish but have everlasting life. How wonderful is that! All of God’s love is found in the Person of Jesus Christ for you and me. My dear friend, I do not know anything more wonderful than that!!

True Love Always - TLA

Whenever a man or woman, boy or girl comprehends what Almighty God has done for them in love and God has hold of their hearts, the child of God (John 1:12) can only seek the same selfless agape love for others in SPIRIT and TRUTH (John 4:24). Jesus stated that by this action (i.e., showing agape love) the World will know that He loves us (John 13:34-35; John 17:21-23).

In marriages where agape love is applied in the relationship, please try to tell me how that marriage will not thrive in such an environment with regard to companionship, intimacy, etc.? The closer the husband and wife grow to Almighty God in spirit and truth, the closer they will grow to each other, producing a strong and healthy relationship in every way (Eph. 5:21-33). That was God’s design from the beginning (Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:4-6 ). Eros love can NEVER move and motivate in this manner. Just look at the divorce rate in America! If only America - and the rest of the world - would follow Almighty God’s basic formulas for life and living, we would all be blessed beyond anyone’s imagination (James 3:18). But the vast majority of people will not and lose all the benefits and bliss in their refusal (Psalm 106:14-15; Rom. 1:24, Rev. 22:14-15).

Almighty God’s love (His highest and best) for you and me is nothing less than God Himself and His perfect will for the object of His love.

This Valentine’s Day don’t get caught up in all the “Eros hype.” Fear (reverence) Almighty God and enjoy (worship) Him in SPIRIT and TRUTH (Prov. 1:7; John 4:24; James 3:8). Show those whom you truly love the agape love of Almighty God (1 John 4:11, 21). Almighty God’s love truly satisfies the famished soul and brings true joy to the human heart (Psalm 16:11; John 17:13; 1 Peter 1:8).

Do you know the agape LOVE of Almighty God that is found ONLY in His Son Jesus Christ? God so LOVED you that he sent His Son to pay the price for your transgressions against the RIGHTEOUS standards of Almighty God (Rom. 10:4; 1 Peter 3:18). Again, my dear friend, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that! The one true God and Creator of the Universe truly loves you (1 John 4:10)!

Don’t be stupid and follow Cupid. Follow the One who LOVED you and GAVE Himself to you (Gal. 2:20). Place your trust in Him today. You will NEVER be the same – no, Never!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

A brief note from GWZ I.F. on Agape Love

I think we need to be careful in saying that agape love is a superior love. Both words for love [agape and phileo] can be used of God's love, which is a superior love. The other word for love is phileo and, for example, it is used in John 5:20: "For the Father loveth [phileo] the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel." 

This is certainly a superior love, even though agape is not used.  This is God loving His Son.  This is God's affection and closeness, and intimacy with His beloved Son.  This is a superior love.  This is God's love for His Son. This is divine love. 

Another example is John 16:27  "For the Father himself loveth [phileo] you, because ye have loved [phileo]  me, and have believed that I came out from God."  Here we have the Father's love for the believer. Here we have the believer's love for Christ.  The Father loves us. We are His friends. We enjoy an intimate relationship with Him.  We enjoy a closeness with Him.
 
There is one very significant difference between PHILEO and AGAPE.  The Bible says,  "God so loved the world" (agape).   The Bible would never say, "God PHILEOS the world."  God can AGAPE the world, but he cannot PHILEO the world.  The world is no friend to God. God has no intimacy with the world.  The world does not attract God.  God is no friend to the world.
 
BUT, God can AGAPE the world.  God can give His Son for the world.  God can die for the world.  God can shed His blood for the world.  He can give Himself for an undeserving world.
 
Here is another example.  God says (Matt. 5:44), AGAPE your enemies.  The Bible never says PHILEO your enemies.   We can love our enemies with AGAPE love. We can pray for them. We can do good for them.  But we cannot PHILEO them.  We cannot love them as friends because they are enemies.  We cannot PHILEO them until they become part of the family.

 Unbelievers can PHILEO other unbelievers; believers can PHILEO believers (Tit. 3:15).  It must be an attraction between like kinds.  A believer cannot PHILEO an unbeliever [with the exception of family members].  An unbeliever cannot PHILEO a believer.
Same with Romans 5:8 (God can never PHILEO those who are yet sinners).

Rev. 3:19  "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent."  God     PHILEOS His own.   He does not PHILEO the unsaved person. 

1 Corinthians 16:22  "If any man love [phileo] not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha."      If any man is not a friend of the Lord Jesus. If any man is not attracted to the Lord Jesus. If any man does not have a close relationship, an intimacy with the Lord Jesus, let Him be Anathema (accursed, set apart for destruction, God's eternal curse be on that person).  Show the importance of "phileo" love.

 

America - Are You Ready for ETERNITY?

My dear fellow Americans; may I ask you this most serious personal question? Do you possess the perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS needed to enter into the holy perfect presence of Almighty God? That is exactly what Almighty God has provided in the Person of Jesus Christ for ALL those of Adam’s fallen race who place their trust in Him (Rom. 3:23; 6:23; 10:2-4; 2 Cor. 5:21).

That is what this LIFE is all about! Having a living relationship with our Creator in spirit and truth.

These turbulent and troubling days are only going to get worse (2 Tim.3:1-7, 4:1-4). There is nothing we can do to stop what is transpiring and radically taking place in our nation and in this world. We are indeed at the Alamo in our world today where lawlessness and moral relativism will continue to abound until the Man of Lawlessness himself is revealed (2 Thess. 2:3-12,Rev. 6:1-2; 13). May you OBJECTIVELY look “outside of the box” of your time-constrained worldview (Rom. 8:3-8, 2 Cor. 2:14), and place your faith in Almighty God, who so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die for your sins (transgressions against Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUS standards) and mine (John 3:16-17). That is what this LIFE is all about - having a living relationship with our Creator in spirit and truth (reality) - John 4:24. It is ETERNITY that is ALL of our final destinations. It is for there that we must be ready in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in TRUTH (Rev. 20:11-20, 21, 22:1-5)! The question each American should soberly ask themselves is, "Am I ready for Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS ETERNITY, and will I be able to stand in His HOLY RIGHTEOUS PRESENCE as I am?" (Rom. 3:23, Rom. 7:15-25)

It is ETERNITY that is ALL of our final destinations. It is for there that we must be ready in RIGHTEOUSNESS and in TRUTH.

May it be that you personally place ALL of your cares and expectations in Him alone for your ETERNAL - as well as temporal - well-being (1 Peter 5:7; Rev. 1:5). In doing so YOU will NEVER be the same, no, NEVER (2 Cor. 5:17-21)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand America!

Who is Bad Bunny? Bad Bunny EXPOSED: Super Bowl Séance and the 'New Religion'

Good Fight Ministries does a great deep dive into who Bad Bunny is with this YouTube video. Some might not even care, but I personally would. This present evil world is absolutely saturated with the demonic breeding and cultic practices that seek to destroy our youth and indoctrinate our world. At the Super Bowl, Bad Bunny might have looked innocent and harmless, but his deception and master are at full work to outwork evil (Eph. 2:1-3).

Let us pray for Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (aka, Bad Bunny) that he would come to an ETERNAL saving relationship with His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, with whom he is at war with(Eph. 2:1-3).

Are You a Son of Nimrod?

In Romans 1:18-32 Almighty God tells us what happened after Babel and what were the end results thereof (Gen. 11:1-9, 10). Humanity had willingly chosen the abandonment of TRUTH and REALITY for a godless delusion and a lie (Rom. 1:18-32). These offspring of Noah's sons under Nimrod sought to replace and exchange the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God with unrighteousness and the ETERNAL Creator with a delusion (Rom. 1:18-32). No wonder the name "Nimrod" when used today in pun means "dummy or fool" for one is a complete fool to abandon and forsake the REALITY of Almighty God for a fairy tale and delusion of make-believe (Psalm 14, Rom. 1:18-32).

No wonder the name "Nimrod", when used today in pun, means "dummy or fool" for one is a complete fool to forsake and abandon the REALITY of Almighty God for a fairy tale and delusion of make-believe.

For the last 4,200 years since the Tower of Babel dispersion, humanity has been out-working their godless, unrighteous spiritual ideologies and philosophies and have been reaping the horrific consequences ever since (Rom. 1:18-32). The consequences and end results of a godless existence are vanity and ETERNAL damnation (Eccl. 1:14; Rom. 3:23, Rev. 20:11-15). The REALITY of this life is that Almighty God sent His Son (John 3:16-17; Rom. 8:3-4) to redeem man and restore a right relationship between man and Himself (John 3:3-7, 16-17, 1 John 2:2, 4:10). That is ETERNAL REALITY and not some man-made "religious" statement.

Almighty God's Word states;

God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17).

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever (Psalm 119:160).

Do you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? To know Him is to know REALITY. To know Him is to know Truth. May you be sure that your "ideology" and "REALITY" is rooted in the absolute REALITY of Almighty God and His never-changing Word so that you choose NOT to follow after Nimrod and Noah's REALITY hating descendants. Your whole ETERNITY depends on it.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

This 2026 - Don't Be A Victim, Be Jesus' Victor!

In 2026,  who knows what to expect in our EXPONENTIAL deteriorating and lawless day, but in it all, we know WHO we are expecting and looking for with great joy (John 14:3, 1 Thes. 4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4)!

Beloved, daily bombardments from this demonic world seek to rattle and destroy the faith of the men and women of Almighty God (John 16:33; Eph. 6:10-12, 1 Peter 5:8). It is so easy to look inwardly and subjectively and see ourselves as poor, wretched victims. It is sad to say that many blood-bought children of Almighty God in Christ today choose unbelief,f which results in the shipwrecked life on the rocks of lawless consequences, subjectivism, and self-pity. Truly there are no utopias here on planet earth even for God's redeemed (Matt. 6:27-33, John 16:33, Phil. 4:6-7), but we are not to let the spiritual war and adversities of this life derail us from all that Almighty God wants to do in our life for His GREAT NAME'S SAKE and GLORY (1 Cor. 10:31; Eph. 2:10; Phil. 2:12-13)! Satan, in his absolute vain attempt to overrule ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH, REALITY, and the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Person of Almighty God seeks to destroy the love and dedication of God's children. The Bible states: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8), and: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).

Stay prepared... so that you are always prepared!

The truth of the matter is that we are in a Great Spiritual War for the hearts, souls, and minds of men (saved and lost). Many are absolutely oblivious to this REALITY and fact. Satan, in his hatred, rage, absolute disdain, and rebellion against Almighty God, seeks the ruin and destruction of anyone who practices the ABSOLUTE TRUTHS of the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and His Word (Luke 11:4; 22:31-34, Eph. 6:10-12, 1 Peter 5:8).

There is adversity upon adversity, calamity upon calamity in this fallen world. Again, there is no peace, no Utopias on the battlefield of this life (Eccl. 1-12, John 16:33; Eph. 2:1-2). To think otherwise is a delusion and a lie. Be not deceived! This is not our home. Jesus said, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world (John 16:33), and: exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22). The good news is that Christ will set up His Kingdom at His Second Coming to earth and establish His kingdom in RIGHTEOUSNESS (perfection). Then - and only then - will there be world peace.

Do not become a victim of circumstances, but be a VICTOR for Jesus Christ by faith!

As we wait for Jesus' soon coming, looking into God’s Holy Word, the Bible repeatedly speaks of His great love for us. God's love, as defined therein, wants only the highest and best for the object of His love. The highest and best is the person of God and His will and way for each individual. God, who is infinite, gives all of His Eternal Person to finite man.

David stated, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour" (Psalm 8:4,5),

"Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered" (Psalm 40:5).

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:35-39),

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

.

Almighty God loves you!!! Don't let your own heart or Satan tell you otherwise!

.

Passing through trials and adversities, it might seem to some that our Heavenly Father is our enemy and that He doesn't care at all. Oh, Beloved, this couldn't be further from the TRUTH. Satan the thug and slanderer loves it when we disconnect by unbelief and are led and deceived into thinking and believing this (Psalm 81:10-16; 95:8-11, Isa. 65:2, Heb. 3: 12-19; 4:2; 6:11-14; Rev. 2:7). We are to cast down ALL that seeks to raise itself up in unbelief and fear! We are to cast down ALL that seeks to override all of the ETERNAL riches, promises, truths, and realities which are found in Christ Jesus for us (Rom. 8:26-39, 2 Cor. 10:5, Eph. 1-2; Heb. 11:6; 1 John 5:1-4, Rev. 1:17-18). Beloved, by faith in Almighty God and His Word, we can defeat this strategy of the enemy of our souls and achieve in Christ the ETERNAL victory and whatever Almighty Go wills for us for His glory! The Bible states: "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" (1 John 5:4,5).

The victory is gained when the child of God puts his or her faith and trust in the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Person of Almighty God (Rom. 8:26-39, Phil. 4:13; Heb. 11:6; 1 John 4:4; 5:2-4; Rev. 1:17-18). As believers in the RISEN LORD JESUS CHRIST, we can by faith get through the adversity and calamity that comes our way, knowing that Almighty God our Father indeed loves us and has a GREAT ETERNAL plan to make us winners and not losers! Listen to this glorious promise: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:26). Almighty God has a wonderful plan for you in any situation and in every setting!

In these last days, may we be strong and of good courage, and have faith in ALL that Almighty God is. May we - with the eyes of faith - see past this physical world into the very throne room of Heaven, and be more than a conqueror in Christ, as Almighty God has called us!

'Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place" (2 Cor. 2:14)!

Remember, Beloved: "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you [i.e., Christ], than he that is in the world" [i.e., Satan and his minions] (1 John 4:4).

Almighty God's Truth Shall Make You Free in 2021!

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).

Dear friends, get ready for 2021! For it will be totally one crazy year! Not just here in America, as lawlessness and demonic 5th column Americans seek more than ever to take down this nation during our nation's most crucial presidential election in our history, but throughout the world. All last days' prophetic events are EXPONENTIALLY coming to light, and our Lord's return in the air for His bride is ever more at hand! The key this year for God's church is to be ready, believing, loving, growing, applying, abiding, and looking (Prov. 3:5-6, Jer. 29:11, John 14:3, 15:1-9; Heb. 11:6, 1 John 3:1-3)!

The practice (application) of Absolute Truth and Reality will be essential for enjoying true freedom in 2021! Non-absolutes and partial realities bring but little satisfaction, which is accompanied by great burdens and bondage like battleship chains. Self-willed pride - along with the self-willed rejection of Absolutes - always brings about tyranny and oppression in one's life. God sent His Son to awaken us to the absolute realities of time and eternity, and to deliver us from the bondage of self-willed decadence and unhappiness.

The Greek word “know” in this passage means “the possession of knowledge and wisdom that only comes through personal application or experience.”

Having just a theoretical understanding or “head knowledge” of a particular subject is surely limited, but the possession of wisdom and true discernment comes only through the application of knowledge in our lives.

Absolute truth and reality are essential for enjoying true freedom.

For example, take two people in different situations who are otherwise equal: one an experienced private serving in the military and the other, a cadet who has just graduated from West Point with no combat experience. By virtue of his actual experience, the private is, in a practical sense, wiser than the military cadet from West Point who has only studied the technical aspects of warfare.

The officer who has never been exercised in actual warfare or who has never applied his learning on the battlefield has no comprehension of the realities and first-hand experiences of combat. He has “zero experience" of functioning under hostile conditions and seeing the carnage of the battlefield. He is not battle-tested. He possesses no experience of being focused and steady under intense battlefield conditions. Although this officer may even have a good academic understanding (i.e., “head knowledge”) about war and what it entails, he has NEVER personally experienced war himself.

The private, on the other hand, does have actual combat experience and an appreciable comprehension of the battlefield. He has been exercised many times, and he has experienced first-hand the realities and horrors of war. He has applied his training in combat, which has given him wisdom and knowledge that cannot be learned in a military academy or even in boot camp.

So it is for the child of Almighty God and the application of His Word. God expects His children (John 1:12) to apply His unchangeable and unfailing Word in their lives, and to experience (know) its benefits and realities. It is only through the application of God’s Word that we gain wisdom and knowledge that cannot be obtained by reading studies written by others, such as “Days of Praise” and other daily devotionals. The spiritual wisdom and knowledge that Paul prayed for the Colossians could only be obtained through the working of God and the personal application of God’s Word in their lives (Col. 1:3-12). There are no shortcuts or spiritual "hocus-pocus” that can be substituted for these. Our Heavenly Father does not desire His children to live off the life experiences of others, but that we ourselves should taste and see that the Lord is good! (Psalms 34:8; 1 Peter 2:3)

The truth then possesses us and we are able to speak with authority, passion, boldness, confidence, and to give an answer to all who would ask us of the hope that is in us!

When we apply (know) the truth and reality of God in the “ups and downs” of our lives, and follow the remedies and formulas found in His Word, we enter into a realm of learning that transcends this earth. We enter into the spiritual realm of “higher education.” This "higher education" not only expands our heavenly vision and understanding, but it produces fruit (results) that are absolutely liberating and transforming to the child of Almighty God. The application of God's Absolute Truth sets us free indeed! Free from all worries, cares, fears, doubts, sorrows, earthly boundaries and temporality (time-boundedness), and - most of all - free from the King of all Fears, Death itself (Heb 2:14, 15). Standing by faith in full assurance of hope, these slave-masters no longer have the enslaving tyranny they once possessed over us. The truth then possesses us and we are able to speak with authority, passion, boldness, confidence, and to give an answer to all who would ask us of the hope that is in us! (1 Peter 3:15). The Truth (reality) has truly made us free, liberating us to act because of a liberating inward experience!

Our Heavenly Father would have us all to be liberated here in time and to enjoy the wondrous riches that are only found in Christ Jesus His Son (John 8:36). May it be our sole desire today - and the desire of our soul - to have the experiential knowledge of the ETERNAL truths of God and to possess this liberating freedom.

Have faith in Almighty God in 2021! Be strong and of good courage in 2021! Endure hardness (hardship) as a good soldier of Jesus Christian in  2021 (2 Tim. 2:3)! Pray without ceasing in 2021 (1 Thess. 5:17)! In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you in 2021 (1 Thess. 5:18)! Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice in 2021 (Philip. 4:4)! May it be so for you, dear reader! For YOU will never be the same in 2021!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
