Tyranny exists because YOU allow it to

by | May 24, 2023

Tyranny exists because YOU allow it to.

Because all you desire is food and pleasure.

If the enemy controls that, they control you.

At first, the enemy convinced you that God didn’t exist.

Then the enemy said, if you need God, that makes you weak.

And now the enemy says, serve me, and I will fulfill your desires as your god. I will give you all the food and entertainment you want to be full and happy.

The enemy has mastered the ability to enslave mankind.

But God says that man cannot live on bread alone. That man needs God in order that he may truly live.

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

~Matthew 4:4

“So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

~Deuteronomy 8:3

“I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

~John 6:51

And God says not to have idolatry, which is worshipping anything above him. And it doesn’t take much to see how people worship politicians, celebrities, actors, musicians, ideologies, money, etc. All of which entertain us.

You shall not make anything to be with Me—gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.

~Exodus 20:23

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

~Colossians 3:5

Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.

~Jonah 2:8

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

~1 Corinthians 10:14

The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there [any] breath in their mouths. Those who make them are like them; [So is] everyone who trusts in them.

~Psalm 135:15-18

But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

~Galations 4:8-9

Understand how we got here. We were full and entertained by sinful things. We were distracted by the things we idolize, allowing the enemy to slowly enslave us.

Today, many people, including, many Christians, did not heed God’s warning to us. They’re too busy eating the food that kills us, and being entertained by the things that enslave our soul.

Vulnerable moment. I've been feeling a little lost as of late. A little overwhelmed. Feeling like I don't have control of certain circumstances I want to. I feel like my life has been going down one path and there is a call coming from behind me saying "Stop! You've...

A stern warning to the rich oppressors

A stern warning to the rich oppressors

A stern warning to the wealthy that are corrupt and take advantage of those poorer than them.   Your time will come. Not at the hands of those you oppress, but God himself will not resist his judgement upon you.   James was rather serious, firm, and to the point...

Beyond belief

Beyond belief

There is no such thing as color when you ask a dog. The land is where you go to die, when you ask a fish. And yet we know both are not true because we have a greater understanding of things than dogs and fish. Are we so ignorant to not believe that things exist beyond...
