*Video!* TREASON - "...by many deceits and false promises, by the heaping up of lies..." -> -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwUtdWO55oE&list=PLE8FlkxQPQkNIgyNvi80ZOJtvD5LuxQ3J&index=29 <- <- "For I shall bring calamity in waves! Behold, the weight of My punishment shall increase by measure, bringing forth destruction without respite! Escape shall flee away, safety shall become a distant memory and no shelter shall be found, forcing the rebellious into the rocks, the mighty into the clefts of the rocks, and the kings of the earth into the caves of the mountains! From the least to the greatest, they shall all seek to hide themselves from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of The Lamb!

Behold, the unity of the nations shall be eaten up, As the caterpillar devours the newly sprouted vine, As the worms beneath the ground eat up the roots!…

All shall wither, until the fire comes To set the whole field ablaze!…

By a spark and by a flame of fire, By a strike from roiling clouds, Shall the fire be kindled by My own hand!…

Says The Lord."

JOHN MCINTOSH

Until the ‘impermanent’ is NOT enough … you will continue to seek it and be satisfied for a moment, then turn and look for the next shining object of experience. The collective false self fosters this transient existence by encouraging the search for another and another and another dream to create … “The Big Dream”, “Follow Your Dreams”, “Your Dream Life”. This seems ‘normal’ and most follow this illusory guidance trying desperately to make their ‘dream-life’ more comfortable and cozy.

Much of the spiritual community has the same objective masking practices and disciplines with the label of ‘hoped-for’ enlightenment. The True pathless-path to Freedom is rarely cozy, often solitary and frequently very uncomfortable as ‘who you are NOT’ is witnessed, faced and dissolved. Few [as yet] have stepped into this fire - so great is the allure of the dreaming-experience. You will know ‘beyond any doubt’ when you have had enough of the dream. Until then ‘allow’ its powerful influence to ‘shake’ you free of its false promises.

*NEW Video!* TREASON - "...by many deceits and false promises, by the heaping up of lies..." -> -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwUtdWO55oE&list=PLE8FlkxQPQkNIgyNvi80ZOJtvD5LuxQ3J&index=29 <- <- "The kingdoms of men shall raise themselves up, though night has fallen; behold, out of deep darkness, the kingdoms of men shall rise and make themselves one by treason; by many deceits and false promises, by vanities and vain flatteries, by the heaping up of lies, shall they come together as one. They shall raise themselves up, boasting unity and peace, and safety from the hand of The Almighty, until their loftiness flies high above all kingdoms, from those of ancient times even to this day…

YET THERE SHALL BE NO PEACE! Says The Lord. For I shall bring calamity in waves! Behold, the weight of My punishment shall increase by measure, bringing forth destruction without respite! Escape shall flee away, safety shall become a distant memory and no shelter shall be found, forcing the rebellious into the rocks, the mighty into the clefts of the rocks, and the kings of the earth into the caves of the mountains! From the least to the greatest, they shall all seek to hide themselves from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of The Lamb!"

~ Says The Lord

In a small neighborhood market, a clerk was frustratingly ringing up my items with a scorning, bitter look on his face. He had something on his mind and seemed quite irritated.

With reservation I quietly asked, “Are you alright young man? Is everything OK??”

He suddenly stopped, looked up and angrily pointed out the window to a beautiful brand-new, shiny, top-of-the-line metallic blue Mustang and scowled, “I despise this job! All I ever do is work here Every Day And Night To PAY FOR THAT CAR!”

That which he IDOLIZED had unwittingly became his MASTER that he was now obliged to SERVE..

As today’s verse says, we can call out to these things of desire with the hope they will assuage our longing and desires, but they will not satisfy or rescue us out of that which we thought would serve or save us. When these idols become the focus of our desire, the need to have them can become all-encompassing to the point that we can be so obsessed with obtaining them that they become a type of god that we unwittingly worship - and like the dilemma of that young man - become a god that can rule over us.

Friend, having things we want or desire is not wrong, but as the TEN COMMANDENTS instructs, our #1 affection is to always put God FIRST - and never to put other things before Him.

In looking at your life, are there things, people or goals that have become more important than what is truly worthy of worship?
