Justify Not the Wicked When God rebuked Satan many fell with him by sympathizing with him and putting forth the finger of blame at God for Satan’s behaviour. The wrath of God grew into fury as He observed their false justifications. “He that JUSTIFIETH the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.” (Proverbs 17:15) Sinners today point the finger of blame at God for their own short comings and they stand in the justification of their evil imagination. The principle was more important than faith. The wicked live in the aspirations of their imagination and defend this vanity as if guarding a vault full of gold. They cast the evil eye on any appearance of contradiction to their boast. Satan laid out before the host of heaven all his perceptions of God to over shadow any possible questions that would arise to justify God but God is justified for He is the justifier of only those that believe. Today the ungodly exaggerate to justify their defiance towards stewardship. Sinners will join hand in hand as if to shield the innocent from harm. When the wicked have confidence in their perceptions to achieve the desires of their imaginations they rest only in the boast. The Kingdom Of Darkness Are These Let us see how God defines these powers (evil virtues) Sin, sins, iniquity, wickedness and ungodliness. Sin is the kingdom of Satan the father of iniquity. Iniquity is the state of the soul without Light. An apple is an apple because of the seed that produced it. Iniquity is that seed that was born in Satan. God called that manifestation that Satan exhibited a rebellious source to establish his brightness as an evidence of perfection in himself to rival God’s authority and compete with the Holy Angels. This mannerism is honoured by the ignorant as an outstanding accomplishment to promote the natural born qualities above faith. Sins are the result of Satan's sowing of false knowledge in the heart called the fruits of iniquity. The sinner sins by the knowledge they honour. God calls that “other” knowledge evil because it cannot work with faith. It assists the imagination to do wickedness. This power drives the soul to find rest in vain things being earthly and absent of the true light. The habit that develops in the soul must continually also seek and find carnal validation. So a false rest is morphing by habit and is spontaneously communicated, weighed and evaluated by the response that sinners give in confirmation or denial. This kingdom rules the world in wickedness, and oppresses to control its victims. It demands consent to progress or to build. Under this spell of evil and practice of habit (religious or atheist) the soul consents driven by this habit in the imagination becoming spontaneous to circumstances (good or bad) and consenting to the pleasure you feel in the compulsion. Wickedness is the manifestation of Sin in the drive and pursuit of the aspirations and principle. The world lies in wickedness because Satan directs the perceptions in those engrained emotional and intellectual habits. He controls your responses by these reins of iniquity. These unholy spirits can seduce by touching your feelings or promote pride in false knowledge. There is no equity in darkness so these demons have to put their finger on the scale of the sinners soul to give the feeling of self-worth or peace of mind. Ungodliness is the state of the soul that is without the power/virtue of Christ. The soul carries the testimony of the curse of Adam on the flesh and uses this same method for weighing truth. So the ungodly are fruitless ones that wish to make their own soul the record for Christ. This is the spirit of antichrist and is blaspheme. The hypocrite projects false piety to cover this loss of true virtue in the heart by the assimilation of religious language (quoting scripture) or by association with people or religious relics they use to represent themselves. Iniquity is the word that identifies the origin of lawlessness and the state of the soul without Christ. It desires to promote self worth and results in envy, strife, doubt, deceit, guile, evil speaking, seditious, covetousness and promotes concupiscence (wide variety of passions that are faithless, rebellious, oppressive, and abusive to others). Satan’s Seat Is An Uncomfortable Chair The conscience that is defiled carries the testimony of Satan, while the pure conscience testifies of Christ. Those that sit in Satan’s shadow will never find rest for the soul though they may claim to have found compatible circumstances they mistake for peace. Those that seek for false peace will look for it in people, circumstances of life, things, or accomplishments. All the same, this is Satan’s domain. God’s judgements is to remove the sinners confidence in Satan’s shadow by challenging his seat with plagues of many sorts. Setting forth contradictions in all those forms of knowledge that sinners embrace for the boast. Either removing the sinners from their environment that assists the deception whether through wars, famine, floods, tornado, hurricane, storm and bad weather etc, or setting judgements on the heart being depression, confusion, mental and physical loss. Satan’s power is only in his deceptions and he knows the God will destroy His own creation to set equity in all things. Evidence is seen in the flood of Noah’s time and throughout history and again in the coming second consummation or great tribulation. When God sees the wicked in this act of sympathy to justify the wicked He will yoke them all together in the appointed curse. Ye Shall Not Grieve For Them Moses was not being hard-nosed towards his brother Aaron nor exercising his principle but to save his brother’s life. For Moses remembers how his own life was in danger about the circumcising of his son before entering Egypt. (Exodus 4) “And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, UNCOVER NOT your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.” (Leviticus 10:6) All the judgements of God are just and when people stand in their anger against God they are calling God uncaring and short-sighted. Reproof Of Truth: Breaking Up That Fallow Ground The Apostles position is correction in righteousness and not arguing his personal feelings about what God should do or not do. Many zealously religious church goers will take in hand their own authority to dish out rebukes of their denominational traditions as if appointed by God to defend the faith. But only the calling of the apostle has that position. The church needs to rest in His judgements. The apostles put the church in mind of their responsibility to Christ and to build His House by the Spirit. Apostles are not the rulers of His House but stewards to oversee the Lord’s interests. The apostles authority is in your faith to correct, rebuke, exhort with the reproof of truth and to keep the soul free of Satan’s leprosy (false knowledge) so that the fellowship can be sweet. Sedition is evident where there is no building and where Satan’s shadow is there is also his evil friends envy, doubt, and double mindedness. The Glory of God Forever Where the light of truth is in the heart there is understanding added and the soul abounds in charity. Those of faith carry His virtues in honour (title and calling) glory (substance of fruit) majesty (a royal memorial) dominion (rank of rule) and power (a crown and throne) because these are the over comers. They overcame Satan’s lies and refused to stand in his shadow. They delighted in God and were willing to bear fruit through the testing of sin. They loved not their lives unto the death or they died to the powers of the aspirations by faith and they ruled over the principle of sin by truth and they endured the transition of the soul by regeneration or the circumcision of the heart.
