11th October, 13 w/k - place of the skull/ golgotha #False faith Christians have #misinterpreted faith. Seeing that the immorality of the world was offensive to God, they tried to #change that with the moral code/center, using the Bible to support their conscience; “We are not as the sinner—we have morals—we see from God’s perspective.” Believers thought they could overcome the world’s immorality” by applying the precept of #scripture to their morals, misinterpreting faith to mean, “We have the Bible to teach us right from #wrong and to teach us how to love and forgive.” Self-validation through scripture is part of the system Satan uses as a #risk management strategy to control the need for morality. Knowing that the conscience must follow a moral path, Satan falsely validates the #righteousness of God through the conscience by fabricating a spiritual union with the moral footprint of the soul and giving support through select scriptures or other s#piritual texts. These endless combinations and patterns of spiritual #principles, while seemingly pragmatic and hopeful solutions, actually rival and compete against the law of #grace and truth, which God set in Jesus Christ; they are nothing more than a #temporary validation system that #mitigates the suffering of the soul for the moment. They do not form the virtues of Christ in the soul, nor provide the form of #sustained #healing that Christ authors for the soul through His contact and #mediation. The system of Satan supporting, approving, and sanctioning his own record of false knowledge works in a flattering union with the record of the soul as well as the individual’s #aspiration and #principle; for his intent has been to validate as true and legitimate each person’s own #journey toward order and completion. This was Adam’s experience with Satan’s deception; as long as #Adam placed confidence in the validation Satan provided, then Adam’s conscience was quiet; thus, we see how Satan held Adam’s conscience in his hand. Adam could then proceed in the flattering light of Satan’s knowledge (which is darkness), without #inhibition, to reach out and project for the things God had #promised him. But when Satan no longer supported Adam’s imagination, Adam’s conscience became unshielded, and he lost the #empowerment of aspiration and false #justification that his imagination needed to sustain its journey with the soul. And it is the same for all who ignorantly proceed by the #darkness of Satan’s #blueprint. Adam had nothing more to #arouse his aspiration; the false justification of his conscience had been removed, and Adam was left naked (Gen.3:11). He had lost the light of God’s #presence and #glory, as well as his false shield, which left him with nothing to cloak himself. Feeling the sudden impact of the full brunt of his conscience crying out in guilt and shame, and the record of his soul announcing loudly with full accuracy the details of his sin, Adam #hid from God. Lost in this same validation loop of the conscience and the influence of false knowledge, humanity continues to hide from God. The #pattern of Satan, in supporting, approving, sanctioning, and legitimizing his record of false knowledge and the record of the soul, always forms a conviction within Adam. Adam, nevertheless hopes that the conviction will cause his soul to increase and be carried to an experience of #completion. The misfocus of faith on gaining what is called a “#biblical perspective” on these issues, resulted in bringing Jesus down to the common level of the flesh to give witness to the #brute nature, and by this act, to make God into one’s own image. This grieves the Spirit who will only give witness to Christ. And by this offensive #act of their imaginations, their souls remain tethered to Satan’s kingdom, rather than being joined to the kingdom of God by faith. Grace establishes faith by the engrafting of the Spirit of overcoming.
