The nature of the human soul of a person is empty if God doesn't fill it. Fill the hole in your soul.
The New World Order = to control mankind, to manipulate false doctrines, especially those doctrines that the Born-again Jews and Gentiles believe are important.
The New World Order or the NWO uses conspiracy theories secretly emerging as a totalitarian world government.
The common theme about a New World Order is that a secretive power which is elite with a globalist agenda to conspire and to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government.
The common theme in conspiracy theories is about a New World Order and the secretive power that the kingdom of darkness uses as a form of his deception and the power to deceive.
Satan and his kingdom of darkness have an elite globalist agenda conspiring to and eventually ruling in the cosmic system through an authoritarian world government.
Any area that you do not have sound doctrine in, is an area open to deception.
Anything that we think or do, that is not oriented to the way God thinks, is open to deception.
Deception is demonization of the soul and personality of the believer or unbeliever living in the cosmic system.
As a believer, it depends on how long you reside in the cosmic system without the use of rebound and recovery.
Deception is thought transference of demon doctrine to the believer or unbeliever in the cosmic system.
Col 2:4, I keep on communicating these things in order that no one may delude you with persuasive argument.
So many individuals think they are intelligent and wise, when in reality they are under extreme deception and delusion.
1Co 3:18 “Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become foolish [realize that he is a fool] that he may become wise.
Even the woman in the garden, who was perfect and didn't have an old sin nature ended up deceived by the craftiness and subtilty of Satan with his lies.
Fifty-two times in Scripture, he is called Satan.
In Isaiah he is called the "day star" or the "bearer of light" which comes from the Latin Lucifer.
In ISA 14:12 "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!
You were the anointed cherub that covered: and I set you, so that you were upon the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire; Eze 28:14.
One of his the most popular names or titles is the name, “the devil,” Mat 4:1.
The Devil literally means "slanderer."
Satan is called this because he slanders both God and humanity.
In the Garden of Eden, he slandered God's character.
"For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the real difference between good and evil," Gen 3:1-5.
Rev 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, "Now has come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.
The Pharisees said, "By the ruler of the demons He drives out demons." (Mat 9:34).
Satan is also known as Beelzebul, which means "lord of the flies," or "lord of dung" ---- which comes out of his mouth.
The correct interpretation is skubala not the root word skubalon, it is skubala that is in the original passage – and the way that it is spelled is how you get the correct interpretation.
2Co 11:3 But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray [deceived] from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
Deception is the invasion of the soul, especially the mind, emotion, and self-‑ consciousness of the soul.
The conclusion to be derived from this is that man is universally condemned, under sin, and considered to be in unbelief.
At this point God offers one remedy.
That remedy is grace.
By the complete removal of all considerations of human merit, God is now unconditionally free to act in grace in behalf of man.
The preaching of law observance or moral reform is misleading because it is contrary to the grace of God.
GAL 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.
Men are either utterly condemned under the universal decree of the judgment of God or they are perfectly saved and safe in the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
The divine objective in reducing humanity to the lowest level conceivable before God is not merely an expression of His hatred of evil, it is the expression of His infinite goodness and love for only in that way could the riches of His grace be extended to them.
We live in the Church-age which is called in Eph 3:2 the dispensation of the grace of God (ASV)
2TI 2:1 "Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
In 2PE 3:18, we are to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We need to understand how our Father treats us in grace and we need to understand how we should treat others = grace orientation.
HEB 13:9 Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace,
JAM 3:15 A wisdom which is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.
We are not be carried away from grace with strange teachings which are designed to give credit to men rather than to God.
The very fact that we are commanded to stand firm tells us that we will face much opposition toward grace.
He felt that he was missing something that the world could offer him and that his life was just fading away.
You have the lost sheep, LUK 15:4-7,
The lost coin, LUK 15:8-10,
The lost sons, LUK 15:11-32.
The Lost Son, The Two Lost Sons, The Waiting Father, The Parable of Divine Mercy, God's Love for the Lost, and The Lost Son and the Dutiful Son.
The prodigal son is the emblem of a sinner who refuses to depend on the Lord and be governed by Him and go his own way no matter what.
We will see how dangerous it is for us to desire to be at our own disposal, and to live in a state of independence, and to be our own rulers!
They are his sons when it started, and both will still be His sons when this passage finishes.
It is the elder brother who really has the problems because he thought that all his father wanted from him was work and service.
PRO 21:3 To do righteousness and justice Is desired by the Lord rather than sacrifice.
MAT 9:13 "But go and learn what {this} means, 'I desire compassion, and not sacrifice,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
The man in this parable represents God the Father and the sons represent believers, therefore, this is not a gospel message, this is a doctrinal message for born-again believers.
The older brother and the younger brother both received a share of the estate.
Each one had enough so that he was independently wealthy.....and that represents the doctrine of logistical grace applied to your life.
The prodigal son accepted the blessings of the Father, while at the same time he turned his back upon his Father (as men do when they reject and abandon fellowship with God).
God does not violate our free will nor does He force us to remain in fellowship with Him.
Only his arrogant legalistic self-righteous brother said that he spent it all on "harlots or prostitutes" in verse 30; Mat 7:1-5.
It was the son who moved away from the Father not the Father moving away from the son.
JAM 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners [rebound]; and purify your hearts [perceive doctrine], you double‑minded.
Whenever a believer goes astray, eventually he will come to a point as the last part of this verse says when he will begin to be in need.
Having forsaken his Father who represents God, he can now find nothing but poverty, misery, and want.
Prin: The human soul is empty if God does not fill it.
The famine represents the fact that there's a famine in every heart which is no longer nourished by the word of God.
Until then, he'd never known hunger because he was always provided by his loving father, the one he turned his back upon.
He attached himself which is the Greek verb kollao meaning to glue or to closely unite himself to a citizen of that foreign country which represents the devil's children instead of God's.
Times of distress often lead to self-examination and are used by God to bring about changes or repentance in people's lives.
This young man still held on to the belief that he could maintain his self-sufficiency.
His emptiness was shown by the job that he had to take, tending pigs.
There could be no worse job for a Jew than feeding pigs who were considered to be unclean animals and expressly forbidden in the Mosaic law, Lev 11:7; Deu 14:8.
2PE 2:22 It has happened to them according to the true proverb, "A dog returns to its own vomit," and, "A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire."
The food that he was feeding the pigs called pods made passable livestock food, but despicable human food.
Self-realization of the hopeless and useless predicament of the sinful life is the first step towards true repentance.
The believer must see that his own actions have led him away from the loving Father (God).
You must realize that the seeming pleasures of the sinful life are vanishing and un-satisfying, while life with the Father is full and rich.
The believer must understand that a life of sin offers only destruction, while life with the Father offers prosperity and happiness.
His Father's servants were better off than he was and so he was going to go home to see if the father would take him in as his servant and let him live with them.
This is just sheer unadulterated asininity and exactly the way people think in the cosmic system……they think like fools.
Whether we are worthy or unworthy doesn't change our sonship.
This is a picture of what happens in rebound, restored righteousness.
The best robe represents restoration to full experiential righteousness.
This was a signet ring representing withdrawing from the Father's resources, logistical grace.
LUK 15:22.......and sandals on his feet, = you're getting the opportunity of service and production.
The fattened calf represents fellowship in the word, feeding on divine truth or Bible doctrine.
The divine attitude of grace when you're brought back into fellowship with God.
Biblical perspective = face up with the situation as it really exists.....to recognize the sins in your own life, to stop rationalizing or justifying them.
This is not a parable about what happens to a believer when he sins, this is a parable about what happens to a believer when he changes his lifestyle.
Self-realization of the hopeless and useless predicament of the sinful life is the first step towards true repentance.
The believer must see that his own actions have led him away from the loving Father (God).
You must realize that the seeming pleasures of the sinful life are vanishing and un-satisfying, while life with the Father is full and rich.
The believer must understand that a life of sin offers only destruction, while life with the Father offers prosperity and happiness.
Until a person can be convicted of the reality that he travels a dead-end road, true repentance cannot come to pass.
This is just sheer unadulterated asininity and exactly the way people think in the cosmic system.
The issue is sin -- you are to name it and cite it, period.
His big problem now isn't loose living, it's arrogance.
The same problem his brother has....who isn't living it up at all and who is still at home with his Father.
Whether we are worthy or unworthy doesn't change our sonship.
Treat me like one of your servants, one of those hired hands, which by the way is an insult to his Father.
For people who have character and integrity are the forgiving type!
His Father saw him while he was a long way off.
The Father was filled with compassion and his Father ran to him.
This is a picture of what happens in rebound, restored righteousness.
The best robe represents restoration to full experiential righteousness.
This was a signet ring representing withdrawing from the Father's resources, logistical grace.
LUK 15:22 and sandals on his feet, = you're getting the opportunity of service and production.
LUK 15:23 and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat [have a feast] and be merry [celebrate];
The fattened calf represents fellowship in the word, feeding on divine truth or Bible doctrine.
This is the divine attitude of grace when you're brought back into fellowship with God.
He deserves to pay for his offenses and sins.
The Father’s attitude was to bring the best robe and put it on His son.
- First, any recognition of human guilt.
- Any recognition of human obligation
- Any recognition of human merit.
The best robe represents restoration to full experiential righteousness.
This was a signet ring representing withdrawing from the Father's resources, logistical grace.
LUK 15:22.......and sandals on his feet = both spiritually and naturally, which means that once again you're getting the opportunity of service and production.
The fattened calf represents fellowship in the word, feeding on divine truth or Bible doctrine.
That is the divine attitude of grace when you're brought back into fellowship with God.
