SERMON - OUR WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN part 3

Our World
Turned
Upside Down
Part 3
 
 
If you went to the movies and saw the film ‘Avatar’ you witnessed a subtle message of there being intelligent life on other planets with powers to ‘tap into’ plant life. What you actually witnessed was God’s truths turned into a lie.
 
Romans 1: 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
 
The acts of the ‘intellectuals’ are to change truth into lies, to exalt material things above God and to scorn Scriptural understandings. It is the goal of these same ‘intellectuals’ to secure the worship of human reasoning.
 
Think about the ‘intellectual’ illogical presentation of ‘Global Warming.’ The most intelligent of scientists were convinced to set forth ‘proof’ of such warming and set forth data-manipulated evidence of such warming. Any scientist or person that said otherwise was vilified, blacklisted or both.
 
The same was employed by the ‘intellectuals’ anytime Intelligent Design’ arose as being a possibility.
 
The results have been that we are all but forced to embrace some of the most ludicrous fictions man could ever have imagined.
 
Look at what is being foisted and accepted by many.
 
Men were the results of beings from Venus traveling to Earth and establishing life. Another fanatical belief set forth by a well known man, Richard Dawkins, insists that men were deposited by beings from outer space and any that doubt his premise suffers from a “virus of the mind” especially if you dare to claim the position as a Christian.
 
To put things in context, ‘the, ‘intellectuals,’ make claim that, religious teachings cannot compete with the doctrines set forth by the scientist priesthood.’
 
As Paul so aptly put in the Bible:
 
Romans 1: 21 For Although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.
 
According to the ‘intellectuals,’ men are to accept a ‘commitment to materialism.’ Their explanation is, ‘We cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.”
 
In setting this forth they are saying, “There is no God and we must eradicate all thought of Him.
 
Ephesians 6: 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, again the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.   
 
What we must constantly remind ourselves of is that the ‘intellectuals’ seeking to foist of their beliefs on man seeking to deny the very existence of Almighty God. Whether they realize it or not they are being driven by a force more powerful than themselves.
 
2 Corinthians 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds  of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God...
 
If you remember, the god in this world is Satan. It is he that has taken over the minds of those ‘intellectuals’ that are seeking to wreak havoc on all mankind!
 
Revelation 2: 9The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him
 
Now I have referenced the ‘intellectuals’ as servants of Satan. These people have been brainwashed into embracing his evil philosophies. They do his bidding with the desire to destroy any truths that may stand in their way.
 
Why?
 
Isaiah 14:  12 How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!        You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!  13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain.  14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."
 
Satan believes that he knows better than God as to how the universe, and earth, should operate. He seeks to impose his ideas on us and uses any willing minds to do his bidding; hence the ‘intellectuals.’
 
John 8: 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
 
Satan hates human beings. He loves terrorism, violence, bloodshed and mayhem. He hates marriage and family as they are central to God’s plan for mankind. He has trampled on laws about sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, gender confusion, adultery, pornography and marriage.Even today we are witnessing the glorification of transsexualism.
 
Satan has flipped entire governments as he hates authority and loves anarchy. He hates the thought of children honoring their parents and the elderly and desires unbalanced young people that seek to destroy both our heritage as well as our memories; hence the attack on history and the heroes that founded this nation.
 
There was no creation as set forth in God’s Word as there was only a happenstance evolution that allowed man to be the thinkers. He does not think he is evil as he disagrees with God’s assessment of him.
 
To get to the main thought is to say, Satan disagrees with everything God says or does.
 
Romans 10: 3Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
 
The world is being hoodwinked by the ‘intellectuals’ and being taught to think, ‘right is wrong and wrong is right.’ These ‘intellectuals’ refuse to surrender to submit themselves to God, the true Lawgiver. The horror of this way of thought is, ‘the harder they work to establish their own righteousness the more haywire things are getting!’ Sadly, this evil will grow and we must be aware of that sad fact.
 
We must remain secure in the promises made by God. Jesus Christ will return and turn this world ‘right side up.’  This, dear friends will be a time of refreshing and renewal of His way of having us live.
 
Matthew 19:  28Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
 
When Jesus instructed His apostles to pray, ‘Thy Kingdom come,’ in my way of thinking, it can’t get here fast enough! However, in that same lesson so long ago, Jesus also taught them to pray, “Thy will be done, “ and although difficult to understand at times, we, as Christians must live in accordance with His will.
 
(Closing prayer)
Almighty God, Creator of all there is, we come to You with hearts filled with love and praise of Your mighty powers. You are our Father, our benefactor and the love of our lives. We ask that You accept our worship after forgiving us our sins. Yahweh Tsidkeanu, God of Righteousness, forgive us our sins so that we may come before You clad in the robes if white as Your children and Your servants. We seek to be the children worthy of Your love and Your mighty strengths.
 
Holy, Holy, Holy are You Lord, Holy, Holy, Holy…To You we bow…to You we give our lives.
 
As we stand before You and worship You O Lord, we ask that You strengthen us against the wiles of Satan and his minions. Allow us to see truth where there is deception, actuality where there is falseness and discernment when there are traps meant to ensnare our minds. Be with us Lord now and always.
 
Father, there are those amongst us that seek to have us believe that the ways of Satan are the ways to follow. Confound and confuse them O Lord and place the words in our mouths that are of Yours and the breath of Jesus Christ. With the power of the Holy Spirit allow us to prevail at times of confrontation so as to set example for those that would be Your servants. We seek to serve You our Lord and ask for Your continuing guidance.
 
Place Your mighty protections upon our military and those charged to see to the safety of this great nation. You gave it to us O Lord and we humbly ask that we be allowed to keep Your gift until Your Son returns.
 
We pray these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who is One with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever,
 
Amen, amen and amen.
