The Enemy and Earth-life Bias (ELB)
ELB is not just about us; it is about the entire society around us. This chapter draws our attention to the significant successes of ELB in our lives, especially in the church where we least expect it. ELB is that pervasive. Chapter 3 shows us how to escape ELB after we recognize it.
Mathew 16:23 illustrates our point, “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling-block unto me: for thou mindset not the things of God, but the things of men.” Jesus separated the enemy from Peter and focused on the enemy. The more believers see that separation in our daily lives, the stronger our faith and relationship with our Abba Father will be. And with our neighbors. Try it; you will be amazed.
Our Abba Father works through people, and so does the enemy. We, believers, are the battlefield and the prize in the divine spirit war between our Abba Father and our enemy. The enemy in ELB keeps us focused on this life as much as possible because that limits our attention on our Abba Father and our divine spirit world. Our strategy for the spirit war is to focus on what the enemy does in our lives in ELB. It does not matter who or what the enemy is; it does not change anything. It is on what he does that we need to focus.
That is ELB, only seeing things in the context of human life. We do not see the enemy; we only see humans, so we think humans must be to blame for all the stresses they put on us. We also tend to accept in ELB bias our behavior as how we are wired, with little recognition of the enemy. Of course, we still address personal responsibility in S3M1, our Godly Control System.
When we are redeemed, we choose from two life options. Choice one is to add God as an accessory to this life which is ELB. The other choice is to accept our citizenship in heaven and live in our Holy Spirit connection to Jesus and our Abba Father. That is how our Abba Father sees us as perfect when we are redeemed. And that is the relationship with our Abba Father that the Scripture describes. There is no point in being born again into the old wineskin (Mathew 9:6). Please pray on that.
ELB and our faith are like a black-to-white spectrum with progressive shades of grey. Another way to look at ELB and faith is like a gas gauge from empty to full. We can focus our hearts and minds on both to some degree, and our goal is to fill our faith tank. ELB is dangerous because many believers assume they are doing the right thing in their ELB life.
The enemy’s success working inside believers occurs when our primary focus remains on this season of life. We wrote this book to teach us how to live as a new creation. We add our Abba Father as an accessory to this material life to call on when needed, even though the Scripture says we are born again into a new creation.
ELB’s number one goal is to keep us focused on this life with God as an accessory, the conventional teaching of God’s promises, and the eternal fiery pit’s threats. That plays right into the enemy’s hands. Typically our ELB is not enough to send us to the fiery pit. Still, as our first cover title illustrates, it is enough to keep us from imaging our Abba Father to others. But even more, we miss out on the full joy, peace, and glory our Abba Father wants us to have in his Family. That keeps us from doing our job in the Family business, which is a big win for ELB. Please pray on that.
ELB is a new label because conventional teaching preaches the battle between good and evil, often called “spiritual warfare.” That makes for great sermons, but it is not very helpful in the practical application of the Scripture to our lives because much of ELB minimizes the divine spirit world. We do not recognize ELB as sin or evil when often it is just “not godly.”
ELB is not just our human nature and surroundings; it is the primary work of the enemy through people to weaken our faith. Much of ELB is done in the name of God by intermediaries discussed in message S2M2. Driving ELB out of our lives is driving the enemy out of our lives because ELB is the enemy’s number one tool as a deceiver.
Let me give an example of ELB in action. Leviticus 19:18 is one of the best-known verses in the Scripture, “but you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Believers say it often. But our neighbor is out of luck if we do not love ourselves. In addition, when we live in that verse, we live on earth as just humans, us and our neighbor. That cannot be the best of love.
Both times when Jesus quotes Leviticus 19:18, he is being contested by a Jew with the Old Testament in mind. John, which presents Jesus as the Word of God, was not written yet. But Jesus also raised the bar very high in John 15:11-13, “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. 12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Please pray on this passage because it describes the point of this book better than I ever could.
When we live in that commandment, we live in our Abba Father’s world in a state of love for everyone, including our Abba Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I have been waiting a long time to hear just one person say in public, “love one another as Jesus loved you.” And still waiting. That is ELB’s influence on conventional preaching/teaching. Only by focusing on our relationship with our Abba Father can we truly experience “that your joy may be made full.”
All ungodly thoughts and behaviors are post-Jesus sins because they are not love. Drop the mic right here. If we just lived in a state of love, we would find great peace and joy. When we exegete (interpret) the Scripture for our relationship, our faith grows by orders of magnitude.
Moving out to the big picture now, ELB in this world, our government, our spouse, our friends, and total strangers all come at us 24/7/365. How we react to these interfaces reveals who we are. This life is not about believing or not believing; it is about how we respond to the experiences that come our way. Please pray on that.
The enemy’s invasion has already happened, and we must escape it; there is no choice. We either work to save our Family, or we do a passive surrender. Most people believe we are born neutral and could go up or down. But that is not true. We are born on the way to the fiery pit; if not redeemed, that is our outcome. And that is why we have a job to do in the Family. We need to save ours and help others save their families.
ELB is committed to working against both our Abba Father and ourselves. Our Abba Father is committed to working through his creations. But he has an “Achilles heel” with his Family in that he cannot be in the presence of sin. The enemy knows this and does everything he can to keep our relationship with our Abba Father as weak as possible to maximize sin in us.
That is why I am more passionate about our relationship than traditional teaching centered on salvation and God’s promises, character, power, and love. That is all only about our Abba Father, not him and us together in the Family. The difference is profound.
ELB’s primary weapon is deceit to get humans to do all its work. In Eden, Adam and Eve did all the work, the enemy just planted false teaching in their minds, and they acted in the context of this life in ELB. Our challenge is how to call attention to the enemy’s work product without going downhill on the people involved. Like Peter and Cornelius, with the Holy Spirit, we add more of the Word to our individual lives and escape from ELB to our Abba Father. Our Spirit-led strategy is to bring the Word, and I try very hard not to make this book an attack on any believer, church, or group.
Another example of ELB is when Abraham is told to sacrifice Isaac. Pastors often say, “imagine the angst Abraham must have felt.” The Scripture not only does not say that, but Abraham is a man with super faith. Exodus 22:5. “And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.”
True faith means no angst or fear, and Abraham is that lesson. Is it hard to match Abraham’s faith? In ELB, yes; in our relationship in the Family, no. That is what the Scripture is trying to teach us. But we will only see it if we are looking for it. We will not see it projecting our feelings onto biblical heroes. That is ELB. When we know the difference, it is easy to say, “if that were me, I would go crazy.”
We can now see that by comparing ourselves to Abraham, we have work to do to grow our faith. When we are told Abraham has weak faith, we find affirmation that we are good as is. This life is about our faith, not just redemption. Overcoming our angst is only the start; the goal should be to drive angst and fear out and live in the full joy, peace, and glory our Abba Father planned for us.
S6M2 presents how loving our Abba Father and obedience to him are inseparable. He asks for less from most of us than he asked of Abraham, and we still struggle because of ELB. Adapting the Scripture to us instead of us to the Scripture is ELB.
Here is another example that highlights the need to use more of the Scripture. Often when I share John 3:16 with a young person, “. . . whosever believes in me,” they respond with the postmodern answer, “we do not believe.” They say there is no universal truth. I then say, ok, how about the next verse? John 3:17, “but that the world should be saved through him.” Young people are all about saving the world. Now we have a conversation started. The Scripture can keep up with the times, but too much of it goes unused because of ELB.
Our Abba Father acknowledged ELB in 1 Samuel 8:7, “. . . And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee; for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them.” Our Abba Father took the hit for Samuel even though Samuel did not raise his kids right. They were a disaster (1 Samuel 8:4-5). Our Abba Father did not interfere. He gave the people what they asked for and blessed King Saul and his kingship. And our Abba Father just kept going in his plan.
ELB’s most significant influence is that most people want to be led by a human, as Samuel revealed. Why? Because it’s what we know. Many humans are created to lead and are willing to step up. But for the most part, the church leaders teach us about our Abba Father in the context of ELB and his promises, not how to relate to him and live with him in his supernatural world. It still serves our Abba Father’s purpose, and he is patient.
But please understand, just because our Abba Father gave the people the king they wanted, it is also what the prodigal father did with the prodigal son. Our Abba Father let the world and the enemy teach us about earth life without our Abba Father. Please pray on that.
The enemy’s war is a mental war, a physical war, and a spirit war. The Scripture says “spiritual” war, but in English, we interpret “spiritual” as a concept in our mind, ELB at work. We see the universe in the heavens and stars. Still, we do not see the divine spirit world, our Abba Father’s other Family, intertwined within what we see.
It is impossible to have a relationship with a spirit Father, a spirit Savior, a spirit Uncle (Holy Spirit), a divine spirit enemy in a divine spirit world, and not embrace the divine spirit world. That needs to change. Please pray on that.
There is an enormous bias away from the supernatural world going back to the second century. Before that, the supernatural was part of daily life. The apostles certainly understood it; they had miracle power. But their miracle power died with them, and ELB took over the church, as seen in S6M2 with Daniel.
Our Abba Father launched the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. He made believers his chosen means to accomplish his mission. Believers must keep working on his plan for as many generations as it takes before Jesus returns. This life is not just about us; it is about our Abba Father, his plan, and his Family, which includes us.
I just passed 1,100 books in my God library, and I see many “message ” products. And in that product, I see the enemy’s work pushing and nudging the narrative from just a little off to sometimes way off. Sometimes it is just an exercise of sheer enemy power. I probably overdo the ELB references going forward, but it needs to become fully acknowledged for us to escape it.
Four Types of Damage
There are four types of damage identified in ELB. The first damage is the heart of this book because it is a micro-damage inflicted on ourselves and others with weak faith, and believers easily overlook it. It manifests by adding our Abba Father as an accessory to this life to call on when needed. That is what destroyed the people of Israel; it is that dangerous.
The fruit of that ELB damage is weak faith. Often not enough damage to go to the fiery pit but clearly enough to sabotage the full peace, joy, and glory of our relationship with our Abba Father that he seeks to have with us. Sadly, weak faith also opens the door for the other macro ELBs that also infiltrate our lives. That is the heart of my ministry, and this book is for every walk of life.
The second type of ELB damage is the failure to embrace the supernatural, divine spirit world of our Abba Father. ELB cannot withstand the revelation of the supernatural divine spirit world because that is where our Abba Father lives with us in him through Jesus in us. That is why embracing his world is our escape route from ELB. Understanding the divine spirit world seems somewhat foreign because it is neither taught nor part of church tradition in ELB.
Notice I do not say “spiritual” world. ELB loves to minimize and weaken everything godly. We live in an active divine spirit world filled with real spirits. Many people say they are “spiritual but not religious” when asked about God. A spirit is a defined entity, “spiritual” is a concept or a nature. Saying we are “spiritual” is like saying we are sailors but have never been on a boat.
Systematic Theology is the field of study for specific subjects in the Scripture. The supernatural divine spirit world is not included in the Systematic Theology study because of ELB. That also means that the enemy has no systematic study, so much work is needed. But it is exciting, life-changing work! Embracing the supernatural spirit world is the exit ramp away from ELB and into our relationship with our Abba Father. He lives in his divine spirit world. Chapter 3 presents the supernatural divine spirit world, our escape from ELB.
The third type of ELB damage is the world full of evil lust, pleasure, and attraction to sin. That is a macro issue in our life that is repelled by a robust relationship with our Abba Father. When we master the first two damages and defeat ELB in our lives, this damage no longer has power over us. The enemy tries to keep us from achieving this level of faith, but he is defeated when we do.
The last type of damage caused by ELB is “intermediaries,” humans who seek to come between the Scripture and us. S2M2 presents “intermediaries” in detail. The post-Jesus version of intermediaries took root in the second century. It had fully replicated what the Pharisees and Sadducees created in the Sanhedrin by the 4th century in the church-state Holy Roman Empire. In the 16th century, a fighting war called the Protestant Reformation broke out because of more intermediaries in ELB.
Intermediaries are macro damage because a few humans can rule over the faith of very large groups. My issue here is the ELB and nothing more. Our only interest is the enemy’s presence in humans and ELB. Intermediaries serve our Abba Father’s purpose, but they are still humans and come with all the weaknesses of humans. I do not seek to change that; I strive for us to change ourselves in moving closer to our Abba Father. Start wherever you are and lift yourself higher from there.
As ordinary people, we close our eyes to evil. That is ELB. But evil plays a significant role in the end, and we must be ready. That is one of the main reasons so many ignore the divine spirit world; it is where the enemy lives. Hopefully, this book teaches you to open your eyes, pin your faith needle and experience the full joy, peace, and glory of our relationship with our Abba Father.
Many believers are already closely tethered to our Abba father in their relationship. Still, most believers live in ELB with the enemy without realizing it. This chapter presents the basics of ELB, the overlooked elements related to our Abba Father. The rest of the book then expands on our relationships with our Abba Father, our spouse, and each other.
Please understand that my heart is to grow our faith and relationships as the key to everything in life. Our Abba Father is not a “side hustle.” The bottom line is that the Holy Spirit lights us up with the Scripture but tends to sleep through human writings and utterings. Especially with creeds and doctrines.
We are in a new Holy Spirit season to grow our relationships with our Abba Father. Man’s creeds and doctrine have been the norm since the Holy Spirit’s miracle work in the Apostles ended with their passing. In other words, for over 2,000 years. That is a lot of tradition to overcome, but I see the Holy Spirit on the job leading the way. The Didache
Our Abba Father’s revelation of ELB’s control of the church-state system in Daniel cries out for a new look at preaching and teaching. Knowing that we are in the final season of our Abba Father’s plan, knowing that life gets worse in the Scripture through ELB, and knowing that “one nation under God” is the only country in the world where the mark of the beast will really matter, we need to “raise our game” from the first century teaching, grow our faith, and do our job.
There is a 1st century document called “The Didache – The Lord’s Teaching to the Heathen by the Twelve Apostles.” Its title speaks for itself. Looking up the “Didache” is a great opportunity for the reader to start researching for yourselves. The odds are you have never heard of it, look it up.
What will be found is that not one word has changed from this first century message to today’s presentation of Christianity. Why would it, the Scripture never changes, right? Why should we do anything different? The answer is “postmodernism,” the earthly name for the final season of our Abba Father’s plan. The second reason is that as history unfolds, historical events prophesied in Daniel have actually happened.
Another observation of the Didache is that it quotes no Scripture, it paraphrases it. After the first century, the Scripture has been presented with man’s words in creeds and doctrines. False teaching, other “man’s words,” has existed from the beginning. We need to get back to the Scripture with the Holy Spirit and away from man’s utterings.
The Apostles fought the false teaching with our Abba Father’s words that became the New Testament. The apostles letters to the churches are all about fighting false teaching. But after the apostles died, what did the church fathers do in ELB? They answered with their own words in new creeds and doctrine, starting with the Didache. And man’s words do not trigger the Holy Spirit teaching.
I see the heavy hand of ELB in this process which is discussed in great detail in this chapter. I cannot find any reason to not recite the Scripture and there is a very good reason to quote it and that is the Holy Spirit. He lights up with it because he inspired it.
In my early ministry, I paraphrased thinking it was easier to understand but it just fell flat. The Holy Spirit led me to the Scripture and the room lit up. Even the modern prose translations seem uninspired. There is something very special about the ancient languages, they are the true faith builders.
If an “after action” report were written on the early church-state system, it would conclude that the apostles letters should have been quoted as the inspired words of our Abba Father in answer to false teaching, not man’s uninspired paraphrasing. This is the nature of the enemy and man in ELB. And our Abba Father still used that to accomplish his goals.
Regardless of its shortcomings, the church has served our Abba Father’s purpose for 2,000+ years and our Abba Father has had his hand on all of it. A new era is underway and we need to answer the call and be ready, even if only a drill because the fruit is the joy, peace and glory with our Abba Father. Regardless of the final end time, our time is near right now. The Didache is about 3,000 words and the NKJV Scripture is 783,187 words. All we need to do is use a lot more words in the Scripture and only the words in the Scripture.
The Church Hasn’t Failed
I wonder, if I were in charge of the church in the first century, maps would be laid out and colored in. As we progressed, meetings would be every Monday to manage achievement and assign resources. All believers would be pulling an oar to get the Gospel preached! (I spent much of my forty-three years in the “wilderness” in management.)
The Aaron priesthood in the Old Testament included a continuous succession plan, but it could not overcome ELB. The priesthood did not succeed, nor did the kingship bloodline of King David succeed. Even when our Abba Father chooses leaders, God’s children managed to mess it up in ELB. That has to be the work of the enemy. That changed with the Holy Spirit in the Apostles with miracle power; they got it right to their end and produced the New Testament.
But the Scripture does not include a post-Jesus leadership succession plan. The Scripture provided no anointed leader after John. What was delivered was a vision of the end, the tools to get there, and a rough outline in Acts 2 of what local bodies of worship should look like.
But Daniel provides a picture of the church and ELB in great detail, almost up to today, which I find inspiring. What is most inspiring is that Daniel says we will not understand the plan until modern times. We must consider that most people in ancient Israel were illiterate, books were rare, and travel was slow. Tools that we take for granted today did not exist. Researchers discovered a treasure trove of ancient documents in the 1940s, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Qumran Caves, and the Ugarit Library. Those discoveries have helped a great deal in understanding the ancient times and languages.
I see no evidence our Abba Father intended a Christ-centered replica of Jerusalem or any central church body in the New Testament. Scattering seemed to be his thing. But our Abba Father had no choice but to be patient in his commitment to work through his creation and ELB’s influence. Please pray on that.
We are still the workforce right up until the end when our Abba Father takes visible control. Jesus in us and us in him with the Holy Spirit is a personal connection. All believers are joined together in one body of Christ, the one true “church.” Our Abba Father is very patient with us and does what he needs to keep the ball moving forward.
I see a parallel to Israel being held in Egypt for 400 years, in which they multiplied enough to become a nation, even without much godliness. And then our Abba Father stepped in and went to work to restore them.
After Jesus’ work on the cross, church leaders developed numerous versions of his Word. I can also see our Abba Father multiplying believers for over 2,000 years into a much larger Family that includes all the denominations.
Had the Gospel been preached to all nations in the first century under my management, maybe four million believers would be in Heaven. The Romans were a severe obstacle, which may well be why the Scripture has no clear succession established. All the apostles were executed except John, as were many other prominent church leaders. But with our Abba Father in charge and not me, there will be hundreds of millions, if not billions, in Heaven!
I see our Abba Father stepping in to start tightening up the ship. I do not pretend to know, but the prophets, especially Daniel and John, did seem to tell us about modern times. It took even longer to get Jesus on the cross because our Abba Father is in control, and it is his plan and creation.
S3M2 expands on our “mind/soul/spirit/heart” system, and we need to use it. We are responsible for our relationship with our Abba Father and finishing his work. And ELB, with the enemy, is dedicated to stopping us. He gave us brains that think, and it seems best if we think about what we see in the Scripture, not what humans tell us is different.
Promises Without the Covenant
As a sales career escapee, I often say, “I do not sell God.” The difference is just coming to Jesus in the sale versus moving in with him in the marriage relationship. I love 2 Corinthians 4:6-7, “Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.”
That verse is terrific, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves.” That is how it is in this life, and then it becomes, John 14:2-3, “In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
The point of this book is to show readers the pathway in the Scripture and to have confidence in following it with the help of the Holy Spirit. I believe the New Covenant (the New Testament), including our responsibilities, can only truly be satisfied in the close Family relationship with our Abba Father. And with that comes the full glory, joy, and peace in this season of life.
We should never follow any human, especially me. Listen to humans, yes. Question them, yes. Follow them, no. Take whatever you hear into the Scripture and only use what you can find there. What you do from there is between you and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit relationship message is S4M4-5.
St. Augustine of Hippa, an early church leader, made a statement foundational to our study, faith, and relationship with our Abba Father. He said, “I do not learn so I can believe; I believe so I can learn.” We wrote this book to help us learn in our hearts more than in our minds and grow our faith and relationships. When I examine the statement for the Holy Spirit, as I do everything humans utter about our Abba Father, the Holy Spirit gives me a “yeah” feeling! It also reminds me of Yahweh.
Godly Civics
I also want to talk about “godly civics,” our next project in the context of ELB. Romans 13 presents a modern challenge for us, especially for me, who had a lot of rebel knitted into me in the womb. Romans 13:1-2, ” Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God. Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.”
Paul wrote that passage when the authorities killed believers, so we know it is serious. It is very difficult to have a relationship with our Abba Father and not reconcile the verses in the Scripture that trouble us. We should never switch our relationship with our Abba Father on or off in secular circumstances. The “separation of church and state” is an ELB attack on believers that causes us to turn off our relationship with our Abba Father, like turning off the lights when we leave the house. We discuss the political side of the separation at www.GodsTeaParty.com.
For this effort, the keywords in Romans 13:1-2 are “subject” and “authority.” Our Abba Father knows a society cannot exist without order. That is the point of Leviticus for the Exodus Generation and its update for the Entrance Generation, Deuteronomy. Cars need to travel in one direction on one side of the road. The commandment “Thou shall not murder” is converted for non-believers to “it is unlawful to take another person’s life with malice” (CA penal code 187). We need to be subject to the rules of society, or we cannot even drive safely to church.
Depending on our actions, we cannot switch back and forth between our Abba Father and our government. Believers image our Abba Father in the right direction. ELB pulls our government in the un-godly direction. We cannot let the enemy weaken our relationship with our Abba Father in society; we always need to be his image or billboard. Our faith should never be discounted in public by ELB. Image the love, do not play God.
The world ends with the choice of accepting the mark of the beast from the government. Accept it and go to the fiery pit, or reject it and go to Heaven. The other end of the ELB spectrum is obedience to our Abba Father. He did not put government above himself; his Word comes first.
America is blessed to have succeeded in gaining the power to govern ourselves in partnership with our Abba Father. One of the great blessings of our USA is that our Abba Father delegated the government to us. Still, weak faith in ELB dishonors our Abba Father in our civics. It is safe to say that total dependence on the government for our lives is self-destructive to our souls. And I believe that is the enemy’s strategy for us. Please pray on that.
This side trip into civics is important because ELB tries very hard to push believers out of the public square. That can make us shy about our faith in society. Submission to ELB in society does not glorify our Abba Father.
YouTube has many videos of people making a case for the Revolution of 1776 as ordained. Still, all have a leap of faith somewhere in their argument. We rejected the British authority in the revolt. Still, we can’t be sure if our Abba Father helped us defeat the British Empire, just forgave us, or probably both. The same can be said for the Protestant Reformation. It was not ordained nor prophesied in the Scripture, but we know our Abba Father is with us today.
Sadly, weak faith has put us on the verge of losing our children to a government that seeks to drive our Abba Father from the public square. We should never turn our backs on our Abba Father; this is our own “sign of the beast” moment. We do not escape the trials revealed in the Revelation of Jesus Christ by not living in that time. Everything looks like the “time of the end” behavior because God’s children has never changed. Please pray on that.
Political Division
Hopefully, you figured out by now that civics are a metaphor or reflection of our faith. The divisive nature of politics makes it radioactive for most churches, and rightly so because politics is full of humans who seek to rule us, and they cannot succeed with our Abba Father as our giver of life and true ruler. Too often, our church is looking for a center position when the solution lies above, not in the middle of down here.
I see civics and politics as two very different things. We should not dishonor our Abba Father by putting our candle under a basket and voting against him. We do not need our church to tell us this; the Holy Spirit is happy to do it, but we must listen to him.
Godly civics is our duty to glorify our Abba Father, independent of politics, and we must think of politics itself as ELB. The founders got two things wrong, and we are paying for it today. They underestimated ELB in both politics and the free press. And the solution to both is within us as individuals, and it is time to glorify our Abba Father with our votes, not just our minds.
The church community has always been a refuge from the persecuting world. Still, I think it is time for believers to step up and glorify our Abba Father in our civics as a necessary reflection of our faith. Please pray on that and the consequences to our relationship with our Abba Father if ignored.
That is all I will say about civics here. Our Abba Father has inspired me to launch GodsTeaParty.com to continue the godly civics discussion. I have owned it since 2008, but I was never encouraged to use it until now. ELB, with the enemy, is the root cause of America’s decline, and believers independent of our church are the only body that can save it. Mankind has not declined; it has been the same from the beginning in ELB, as shown later in this message.
The previous paragraph has an ELB flaw few will have caught. Can America be saved? Our Abba Father will destroy it with every other country on this earth. We in America can give our all to filling Heaven, starting with our children. That is our job in the grand plan and why we are here. Please pray on that.
