God Bless,
As our children grow and the older generations die out and next generations step in, we are continually seeing shifting in the order of things all around us, from technology, to fashion, to what’s acceptable and what is shunned. There are new things being accepted into society or adapted into society, and old things being casted out and looked upon as wrong. The normal becoming the odd and the odd becoming the normal, the good being looked at as the bad and the bad as being something acceptable and good. Our children or upcoming generations think that they are choosing how to live their lives and they think that they are making choices based on what they feel is right, but little do they know or understand that those views, perceptions and decisions are being influenced by their surroundings and by the media. Whose eyes are we seeing through? Are they the eyes of God and how He intended His creation to be or through Snake Eyes (Satan) and all of his deceits? Every day we are exposed to subliminal messages that take route in our mind and in our heart which will then influence our opinion on the subject or matter subconsciously. It is there where we make an (apparent?) decision on our (own?) and think that we made our own choice, not realizing that it is what society has fed us to believe and adopt. We are influenced through our education, media, music, culture, society, leaders, employment etc. We are subliminally bullied into having a belief structure from birth to adulthood and then we think that is what we decided to believe. As we live our daily life let us be more embracing of how we were originally created to be and how we were formed and fashioned to live our lives and let us be more careful on evaluated those things we should reject, even if it is what society has now adopted as the norm and let us do all that we do in the love of Jesus Christ.
The Fall
Genesis 3:1” Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
