Understanding the concept of evil-minded people and how they cannot reason.

Exploring the definition of reason and its relation to the Holy Spirit.

Analyzing the example of Job and his friends in the book of Job.

Discussing the consequences of evil-minded behavior and the rewards of righteousness.

Music Music It was nearly six months ago in the year of 2021 that I was pondering the absolute insanity regarding the world scene and the number of pastors, church leaders, and politicians who have come out in the news saying and doing astounding, ridiculous, perverse, and insane, illogical things and deeds against the law and against humanity. As I was praying regarding this weighty matter, I clearly heard the Holy Spirit of God say, evil-minded people cannot reason because they are demented. Now, I know today that there is an overwhelming number of people at all ages, as never seen before in history, who are experiencing dementia, which is a physical condition, and according to Webster's Dictionary, is considered and defined as a usually progressive condition such as Alzheimer's, marked by the development of multiple cognitive defects such as memory, impairment, inability to speak or understand written or spoken language, and the inability to plan and initiate complex behavior. Dementia is diagnosed only when both memory and another cognitive function are each affected severely enough to interfere with a person's ability to carry out routine daily activities. And there is a second meaning of dementia. And according to Webster's Dictionary, it is defined as madness, insanity, a fanaticism bordering on dementia. The second meaning of dementia is our focus on this word today. But before we get started, we need to look at the word meaning of reason in order to understand what the Holy Spirit is saying in this revelatory word that evil-minded people cannot reason because they are demented. The word reason is defined in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia as understanding it denotes the power to think rationally or having a right mind. The dictionary further tells us that reason can mean simply to think, to consider, but more often means argue. Now the word argue in Greek in relation to reason is used in relation to the law and means to reprove or argue in a legal dispute to be vindicated in a manner. In the book of Job, chapter 13, verse 6, we see where Job was suffering with excruciating pain, and those who were supposed to be his friends were saying things that were harsh and weighty and cruel, and very unreasonable, to say the least. Beginning in verse 1 of Job, chapter 13, let's see Job's response. Job continued, Behold, my eye has seen all this, my ears have heard and understood it, and what you know I also know. I am not inferior to you. Surely I wish to speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue and reason my case with God, that he may explain the conflict between what I believe of him and what I see of him. Verse 4 But you are forgers of lies. You defame my character most untruthfully. You are all physicians of no value and have no remedy to offer. Verse 5, Oh, that you would all together hold the peace, then you would evidence your wisdom, and you might pass for wise men. Verse 6, Now hear my reasoning and listen to the pleadings of my lips. You see, Job argued and protested against their unfair reasoning, against his character, as to why God brought this suffering upon him. They said it was mainly because he was a terrible sinner who greatly displeased God. Remember, Job lost everything, including his children, his animals, and his wealth. He lost everything except his wife, who told him to curse God and die. Now, spiritually, that was poor and deadly reasoning on her part. In the end, God's righteous justice took its place with Job's so-called friends because Almighty God had Job pray for them so that they might be restored back to their right minds and find favor with God once again. As we look into these important words as to our horrible situation in our world today and what we see in the deterioration of society in the lack of an ability to reason logically as to right and wrong of a thing and action of words or situations. Proverbs chapter 11 verse 18 declares, The wicked man earns deceitful wages, but he who sows righteousness, moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation shall have a sure reward, permanent and satisfying. Remember, our message title today is called Evil-Minded People Cannot Reason Because They Are Demented. Men and women are morally separated into two great categories in the Bible, just as we have seen in our last scripture. We see them as they appear at work. The wicked or evil-minded man earns deceitful wages. Proverbs 11 declares the wicked sows wickedness and reaps what he does not expect, which are deceitful wages. Romans chapter 6 verse 23 declares, For the wages which sin pays is death, but the bountiful free gift of God is eternal life through in union with Jesus Christ our Lord. This speaks of divine judgment rather than blessing from the very hand of God. The righteous individual, on the other hand, sows righteousness and reaps what he sows in accordance to Paul's epistle, Galatians chapter 6, verses 6 through 10. Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor. Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature from that nature will reap destruction. The one who sows to please the Spirit from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Verse 9, let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Verse 10, therefore we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. The example of a wicked Haman in his plot to overthrow Mordecai, who was Esther's cousin and representative of God's chosen ones, reaped a bitter harvest when he was hung from the very gallows he planned to hang Mordecai from. It's so true that evil-minded people work a deceitful work and also that they neither enjoy the good things of life that they have, but they also don't allow others to enjoy them either. The wicked person accumulates riches with deceitful measures which perish with him. He has a pretense of religion and in the end deceives his own soul right into perdition. Every sin an evil-minded person commits is a deceitful work and promises him outstanding pleasurable gratification and profits and freedoms, which he never is able to truly grasp a hold of. In contrast, Proverbs 11, verse 18 declares, But he who sows righteousness, moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation, shall have a sure reward, permanent and satisfying. He who is steadfast in righteousness and uprightness and standing with God attains to life. but he who pursues evil does it to his own death. You see, living righteously or uprightly in this short life on earth promises blessing beyond measure and one day a final reward of eternal life with the one who made all things possible for mere creatures of clay whom he loved beyond his own precious life Living an upright life on this earth is called righteousness. This is holy and upright living in accordance with God's upright standard. The word righteousness comes from a root word that means straightness, and it refers to a state that conforms to an authoritative standard. God's character is the definition and source of all righteousness. Therefore, man's righteousness is defined in terms of God's righteousness. For example, Adam and Eve would have acted righteously in their relationship with God if they would have simply obeyed him, because his commands define that relationship. Further explaining, the Ten Commandments and related laws define Israel's relationship with God. To obey those laws was to act righteously because their obedience maintained the covenant relationship between God and his people. Again, Proverbs chapter 11 verse 18 declares, But he who sows righteousness, moral and upright spiritual rectitude in every area and relationship, shall have a sure reward, permanent and satisfying. The labor of the godless, evil-minded individual has only self-serving, and selfishness is its motive. And what he acquires by his labor is therefore a delusive or false gain. It does not have the blessing of God attached to it, nor does it profit him or bring him an advantage in the end. God's word declares in Proverbs chapter 10, verse 2, Treasures of the wicked profit nothing, but righteousness, moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation delivers from death. Psalms chapter 49 verses 6 through 10 in another way tells us the same thing. Even of those who trust in and lean on their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches, verse 7, none of them can by any means redeem either himself or his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. For the ransom of a life is too costly, and the price one can pay can never suffice. Verse 9, so that he should live on forever and never see the pit of the grave of corruption. For he sees that even wise men die, the self-confident fool and the stupid alike perish and leave their wealth to others. Proverbs chapter 11, verse 4 declares, riches provide no security in any way of wrath and judgment, but righteousness, upright living, right standing with God delivers from death. Jesus in Luke's gospel chapter 12 verse 15 warns, and he said to them, take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses. Then he spoke a parable to them saying, The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do since I have no room to store my crops? So he said, I will do this. I will pull down my barns and build greater. And there I will store all my crops and my goods. Verse 19. And then I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry. Verse 20, but God said to him, fool, this night your soul will be required of you, and then you will lose those things by which you have provided. Verse 21, so is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich for God. Verse 20 tells us that the messengers of God will demand this individual soul. Just think, people like this have taken comfort and trusted in their unrealistic peace for all of their physical, unspiritual, and temporal things, imagining that these can satisfy the desires of an eternal or immortal spirit forever. But what a rude awakening of a self-deceived soul, thinking that he had made all the arrangements and comforts and set the gratifications of essential appetites in place, which would be never-ending. Nothing in his self-made plans ever included or considered Almighty God, who had created him in his plan before his soul was called into the eternal world. What a dreadful awakening of a soul lost within himself and long asleep in the lust and greed of his evil mind doings. The scripture tells us that God calls these kinds of people's fool. A fool in the Bible dictionary defines a fool like this. The fool signifies a wicked person, an evil character who is rash, senseless, shameless, immoral, which is equivalent to a son of Belial or like Satan himself. A fool is primarily a person who casts off the fear of God and acts like he could safely disregard the eternal principle of God's righteousness. They are hurled into their final eternal destination, which they have earned for themselves with none of their worldly goods and idols to accompany them. They haven't laid up one glimmer or clue of a heavenly treasure for themselves while they had breath on this earth. Jesus said in Matthew's gospel in chapter 6, verse 19, Do not gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust and worms consume and destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But gather up and heap and store for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. Verse 21. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The evil-minded person had no eternal treasures to take and accompany them when they took their last breath on the earth. They did not sow for themselves the righteousness or uprightness that our gracious and loving God demands. And this says they did not have purity of heart and love for God in his ways or commands which guide one on this holy path of life. Through prophet Hosea in the Old Testament, God spoke a command which speaks of this holy way and the way into God's heart, and yet gives warning if one does not eat. Hosea chapter 10, verse 12. Sow for yourselves according to righteousness, upright and right standing with God. Reap according to mercy and loving kindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord. to inquire for and of him and to require his favor till he comes and teaches you righteousness and rains his righteous gift of salvation upon you. Verse 13, you have plowed and plotted wickedness and you have reaped the willful injustice of oppressors. You have eaten the fruit of lies because you have trusted in your own way and your chariots in the multitude of your mighty men. Verse 14, therefore shall atonement rise up against your people and all of your fortresses shall be wasted and destroyed. Atonement, which is promised to rise up against evil-minded people who cannot reason is described as a disorderly agitation or milling around of a crowd, usually with uproar and confusion of voices, a commotion with a violent agitation of mind or feelings, or it can be a violent outburst. This is saying that the torrents or cataclysmic outbursts of God's righteous justice comes rushing down upon people who have ignored God's divine and moral laws or commands because they proudly trusted in their own mental deception. Evil works deceitfully. It deceives the individual in whomever it works within. it makes the person's life a life of fiction and folly and emptiness. The evil at work within goes on to deceive others as it fabricates and propagates falsehoods and lies But on the other hand on the opposite side of the equation of doing right according to our Proverbs 11 verse 18 scripture we see that good works uprightness in everything, in action, words, deeds, or situations. Proverbs 11, verse 18. But he who sows righteousness, moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation shall have a sure reward of permanent and satisfying. There is a living reality, like it or not, for those who refuse to believe that God's word is given to all of mankind. Out of the mouth of our dear Savior himself, he declared in Mark chapter 16, verse 16, He who believes, who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the gospel, and him whom it sets forth and is baptized, will be saved from the penalty of eternal death. But he who does not believe, who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the gospel, and him whom it sets forth, will be condemned. Again, Jesus makes it undeniably clear. Whoever does not believe will be condemned. God Almighty sent his dear son Jesus Christ to this earth with a mission, and that was to offer his own life and body as the supreme sacrifice on the cross to save all people. And because of his kindness and love, God has given us his word, the Bible, which alone speaks the truth and tells us who he is and who we are and why we were created and how we should live and conduct our lives on this earth. He tells us about our sin and why sin has caused us to be his enemies and how through Jesus Christ alone, our personal relationship and fellowship with him can be restored when we repent of our sins and change the way we think and live. Remember that Jesus makes it undeniably clear. Whoever does not believe will be condemned. And this is saying that those who do not have faith and believe in him and live according to the truths laid out in scripture shall be damned forever in hell. These people preferred to live in the darkness of the ignorance of their own minds. Darkness in scripture is used as a symbol of ignorance and spiritual blindness. Listen to what beloved John the Apostle tells regarding spiritual darkness of those who live in the dark and cannot reason and do not know they are heading headlong into horrible torment forever. 1 John 2, verses 8-11 Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true, is realized in him and in you. because the darkness, the moral blindness is clearing away and the true light, the revelation of God in Christ is already shining. Verse 9, whoever says he is in the light and yet hates his brother, a Christian, born again child of God, his father is in darkness even until now. Whoever says he loves his brother, believer, abides, lives in the light and in it or in him there is no occasion for stumbling or cause for error of sin. Verse 11, But he who hates, detests, despises his brother in Christ, is in darkness and walking, living in the dark. He is straying and does not perceive or know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. God's word tells us that those condemned by the Most High God will be cast off from his presence and will be judged to be guilty by God himself in the day of their judgment. Understand, please, God is fair and just. He is fair and just in every way. He has put eternity in every human heart who have entered into this earth's atmosphere. He has made known to mankind that he is the only almighty God who exists. This, Psalms chapter 19, verse 1, the heavens declare the glory of the Lord, and the firmament shows and proclaims his handiwork. The heavens, dear ones, belong to God, and they speak of his power and majesty. In Romans chapter 1, verse 19 through 20, God has made known in the innermost being of mankind that he exists. The scripture says, beginning in verse 19, altogether without any defense or justification, because when they knew and recognized him as God, they did not honor and glorify him as God or give him thanks, but instead they became futile and godless in their thinking with their vain imaginations, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations, and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools. Professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves. So we see that by nature and the inner conscience of man, according to our word, these evil-minded people were God-haters, and they hardened their hearts to the light of conscience and reason. They refused to believe that Creator God is the author of all and everything that exists both in the visible and invisible realm. Furthermore, Ecclesiastes 3.11 declares, He has made everything beautiful in his time. He has also planted eternity in men's hearts and minds, a divinely implanted sense of purpose, working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy. So, they are all together without excuse because they knew and recognized the self-existent creator by virtue of the beauty of his nature and creation, but they did not honor nor glorify him. They hated him. They became fools. Fools have existed in every generation of time and they have chosen for themselves what they deserve in the final result of their judgment which will be a death that will last forever in a woeful eternity in the fiery furnace called hell. So as a result from the time in which Apostle Paul wrote these words to those who will be damned and cast into the lake of fire. There are countless billions throughout the ages who have chosen for themselves their faithful eternity and destiny. The evil-minded accused the great potter who created them, saying, how just or loving is a God who would condemn men forever for not believing in the Bible. Those who have had their right minds and are God lovers know because they have been regenerated by the living word of God, which is truth. And they know, they know that God is just and kind and loving and has the right to determine and fix his own terms of mercy on those whom he will. they know that no one has any claim on God for entrance into God's blissful eternity just because there is a heaven and they know that the sinner rejects God's terms of salvation knowingly, deliberately and consistently by choice they know that the sinner has a special disinterest and contempt for the truth in scripture and they know the evil-minded person's unbelief is generated by their love for sin and they know that God-haters have no love for God or his laws and promise glorious eternity after this life on earth and they know as well that evil-minded people hate those who do love the Lord their God with all of their hearts And they know how our precious Savior Jesus Christ said in John 15, verse 18, If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you. Be warned today when I tell you dear listener in our world today at this very present moment in the year of 2022 there is a worldwide plan by saint worshipers and a well group of evil people to secretly take over the world by overturning governments here in the United States and abroad. It is being proven by the many contrived instigated sicknesses and diseases which had been poured out upon mankind worldwide by their sick plans to cause death and permanent injuries to those who did not fight back or were ignorant about what they were doing. The sick, demented or deranged minds of these self-seeking greedy people devised ways to steal people's freedom and enrich themselves with power, money and fame and predominance over humankind. They first use fear tactics to capture and enslave masses in order to force them to comply and ignorantly rely on their false reports and lies. They cause and incite wars to enrich their self-seeking interest. This is what we are seeing today in our beautiful nation of America, and this is what we are seeing worldwide with the manifestations poured upon humankind all around the world. Wake up, you who call yourselves Christians. Do your own research. We see the shaping of the satanic trinity materializing right before our eyes today for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear what God's word has been speaking throughout the ages. The book of Revelation tells us about this end-time war between good and evil. Satan counterfeits the father the beast is the imitation of the Savior who is God's own son Jesus Christ and the false prophet counterfeits the Holy Spirit who is the voice and power of the Holy Trinity in a nutshell we saw the preliminary great deception event shape up for the greatest lie in the beast's concern for humankind when they came up with the vaccines to protect the world from a virus that was, according to them, deadly and highly contagious. And they are the ones who created the deadly deal. In disguise, the beast was going to present himself as the world's savior. The fear factor they generated was at an all-time high, and people worldwide stepped up to get their shot and dutifully wear their face masks. The evil-minded lying news media refused to publish the true numbers of victims who either died or were physically or permanently maimed from the deadly drug which was injected purposely for the aim of producing millions of deaths. Our beautiful Savior in John 10.10 declares The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy And I came that they may have and enjoy life And have it abundantly to the full till it overflows I am the good shepherd The good shepherd risks and lays down his own life for the sheep You see, the thief comes only with one design and that is to steal and kill and destroy, whereas Jesus comes to give abundant life to those who faithfully serve and worship him alone. Dear listener, the sole aim of Satan the devil through evil-minded, sick, demented, cruel people who seek to steal your soul's salvation and entrance into the most cherished eternal kingdom called heaven is ultimately the bottom line goal of the devil. He wants to get even with God for ousting him out of heaven. He hates God and his creation, especially the redeemed of the Lord Jesus Christ. I present the words of a member of this diabolical, satanic organization who just stated this comment regarding the injections in which millions and millions of people received all around the world. He said, humans are now hackable animals. The whole idea that humans have this soul or spirit and nobody knows what's happening inside them and their free will, that's over. Wow. The aim and devise of the vaccines were to inject poisons and foreign matter into the bloodstream that would eventually change the DNA of the victim, which was to ultimately steal the free will of the individual's body, soul, and spirit, turning them into zombies for the purposes of the diabolical madmen who schemed to take over the world. In contrast, those who do believe and have faith in their Savior, Jesus Christ, to save them from their sin and from eternal death, They will be raised one day to eternal life in the eternal kingdom of God with their beloved bridegroom and with their loving Heavenly Father. In Christ's own words in the Gospel, John chapter 5, verses 28 and 29, Jesus declares, Do not be surprised and wondered at this. For the time is coming when all those who are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and they shall come out. Those who have practiced doing good will come out to the resurrection of a new life, and those who have done evil will be raised for judgment, raised to meet their sentence. For those who are faithful, be consoled that the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life is to glorify Jesus Christ, and for you and me, our part is to trust and worship him until the end. Keep your eyes fixed on him and him alone. The false teachers and self-proclaimed prophets will point to the Antichrist and his image and compel people to worship Satan through the beast system of today, which is nothing more than the prophetic symbol from the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation, which describes the cruel, diabolical governments around the world. These, dear listeners, are all the sick-minded rich elite, the false church leaders, and the atheists who are God-haters, all working together through the political and religious power systems and their morally sinful and wicked strategies, which seek to gain the hearts and souls of God's elect for Satan the devil. The final word to all of us who love our Lord Jesus Christ, dear listener, is the warning our precious Savior left with us in John's Gospel. John chapter 14, verse 27. Peace I leave with you. My own peace I now give you. I bequeath to you, not as the world gives. Do I give to you? Do not let your hearts be troubled. Neither let them be afraid. Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed, and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled. And lastly, Apostle Paul warns us to guard our hearts. In Philippians chapter 4, verse 6, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ. By remaining true and faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ until the end, there is no way that evil-minded people's agendas can penetrate the very best plans that God Almighty has for his own dearly loved children, because he tells us in Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11, For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace, not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon me and you will come to me and pray and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek me, inquire for and require me as a vital necessity and you will find me when you search for me with all of your heart and I will be found by you, says the Lord. Amen.
