ON THE BRINK OF SELF-DESTRUCTION

Posted By: Ann Mack on July 03, 2015

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.

Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” ~ JEREMIAH 17:9-10 (NIV)

Oh my!

As I was sitting on the train, I noted a book on my Kindle which I started to read. My eyes gazed upon a passage which reads: THE GREATEST LEVEL OF IGNORANCE IN A MAN IS FOR HIM TO BE IGNORANT TO HIS OWN IGNORANCE. I stared at that passage for the longest time in amazement while repeatedly saying “wow” and reflecting upon what I had encountered earlier throughout my day. I seem to have a very difficult time believing people are generally without scruples, but these recent church burnings like those in the 60's has re-enforced my beliefs. Ignorance is not the only character trait that's presence, but shear arrogance in a world that began with one race; the human race. The color of a person's skin tone is due to the geographic area or region in which he was located or placed upon the inheritance of his territory as part of the 12 Tribes of Israel. And overtime in connection to evolution, pertaining to the effects of the solar system (your position nearest to the equator or away from it), there was an affect or impact involving your pigmentation which was coded into an individual’s DNA. Ironically all DNA has something else hidden deep within it too; the presence of our earthly father which makes us all three part beings regardless of our skin tone - the outer covering of our flesh! But, if we were to search the scriptures, we would see that all human civilization began, started out and was created with the same outer covering.

We are so self-centered, revengeful and driven by hate to the point of being blindly influenced by darkness! The same darkness, rage, ignorance and arrogance that brought about our own demise during NOAH AND THE FLOOD! We are quickly digging our own graves to trigger the destruction of this world by FIRE which is fastly approaching. In stead of us learning from our sinful nature, we have grown in our immorality to believe we are God in challenging HIM in the same manner as LUCIFER. Our day is coming and it will be here quicker than we realize given the direction of our leading.

When God looks down from heaven upon you and me, HE sees an individual who is made in HIS image. HE does not see the outside nor reflects upon the outer me! HIS focus is the inner me and HE takes into consideration the actions of us all in considering the me (us) that HE created me (us) to be despite what others may think or see. The outer covering of my skin tone or yours does not matter because every and everyone of us is a facet or representation of HIM. And HE who is within me is far greater than the HE who is in the world.

Thank God – JESUS IS ALIVE! For HE is the TRUTH, the WAY and the LIFE! I AM truly grateful to know that there is more to life than what this world has to offer in the midst of its confusion which is ETERNAL LIFE IN THE FATHER. I just pray and hope God has mercy on our souls to take the innocent first.
