• Two Things That Cause Recurring Sin in Our Lives: INSECURITY and INFERIORITY.

  I found the answer. I know the answer. When I heard the answer, I ran and jumped around the living room and kitchen. I tried not to scream so as not to scare anyone. I KNOW THE ANSWER!!!

  I fast every Friday, and this Friday was particularly interesting. I've been burdened by the Youtube videos I've seen that talk about Satanism reigning in Hollywood. I've been mainly focused on rappers. When I pray while fasting, the prayers are particularly intense. I had woke up at around 2:30am and felt the need to pray about this issue. I went to bed and woke up later for work. And I prayed again on my lunch break. I felt so much sadness for people who are being deceived.

  If you didn't know, I majored in Childhood Development. I have a particular interest in how God set up our minds to operate. If you've been to a 4 year college, you've heard of the id, ego, and superego. You've heard of defense mechanisms. You've heard of all types of things in psychology. How much of it is true, I don't know. I just know that I felt led of God to get two books. Jeff Van Vonderen's Tired of Trying to Measure Up and Dr. John Townsend's Hiding from Love. I really didn't want to get these books. I thought I was done with the psychology aspect. I felt as if they just gave Christians an excuse to throw pity parties based on what mommy and daddy did and didn't do. But I really felt God leading me to these books. Little did I know that I was being prepared for something GREAT. 

  I finished Jeff's book before I prayed the first time. I'm still reading the other book. But when I got in my car to go home from work today, I began to talk (to myself) about why in the world would a recording artist and others give their souls to Satan? I was like, "How do you trust the most unsavory character in the world with your soul? The first act he did with humans consisted of lying!" I was so frustrated with these people who sold their souls for fame and fortune and who in turn were leading millions of others to hell.

  When I got home getting the mail, I thought to myself about the books I had just read and was still reading. I learned that people who have unmet needs, unhealed hurts, and unresolved issues will do the craziest things to have those needs met, those hurts healed, and those issues resolved. Many of those persons also did not have a solid church background. Some didn't believe in God OR the Devil. So when they have these offers in exchange for their souls propositioned to them, they think THEY'RE the ones getting over on the Satanists who are offering them these luxuries. They figure, "Sure, I'll worship Baphomet. It's not like he exists. YOU'RE the ones losing millions for nothing!" But I also believe that some of them know that evil does exist. But anyway, I said aloud to myself, "That's what happens when you have certain types of needs, hurts, and issues. You'll do ANYTHING to have them met, healed, and resolved."

  So while watching my favorite TV show tonight, "It's Supernatural", I heard a man that said he was praying for a particular college campus. He said that while he was praying against certain things like rage, perversion, etc., he felt a block. He said he just couldn't seem to get a breakthrough in prayer. Then God gave this man a revelation. I'll try to describe what he said as best I can remember. He said that what was revealed to him was a type of beast that was plaguing the campus. It had two tentacles on either end that touched together at the tip. Each tentacle had different appendages on it with names on them like rage, perversion, and others. The man said that when he prayed, the little appendages would lean backwards like a leaf blowing back on a twig. But when he stopped, the appendage would straighten back up on the tentacle. So the man asked God why his prayers were not making the evils on the tentacles fall off, and God brought this man's attention to the two twig-like things that kept the evils on there. They were kind of like legs that were attached to the tentacle. The evil was drawing its power from the big beast. God let the man know what the two legs were what kept the evil attached to the big beast. God let the man know that the names of the legs were two spirits that caused the evils in the world to continue to be powerful in people's lives even after serious prayer. Those two spirits were INSECURITY and INFERIORITY.

  My thoughts were confirmed!!

  In the book I had just finished and the one I am now reading, the topics of low self-worth and rejection kept coming up as causing most of the reasons why people were coming in for counseling. Low self-esteem and rejection are two MAJOR issues in the world. Many kids are abused by parents. Many wives and husbands get divorced from their spouses. If you watch what the media keeps pumping into us, it's messages of LOSE WEIGHT, WEAR THIS TO MAKE YOU LOOK MORE BEAUTIFUL, GET THIS CREAM TO STOP YOUR WRINKLES FROM AGING YOU, GET THIS MAKE-UP TO MAKE YOUR SKIN BEAUTIFUL, DRIVE THIS CAR TO MAKE YOU POPULAR! We are literally bombarded with millions of images in advertisements that do TWO THINGS. They cause us to feel INSECURE and INFERIOR.

  A recurring theme that I noticed while investigating these rap artists who sold their souls to Satan is that they are ALL VERY insecure. They all struggle with low self-esteem. They try to overcompensate with nice homes, expensive cars, beautiful women, nice jewelry, famous friends, awards, record sales, etc. But I learned from my readings that you cannot draw your self-worth from dead items. And you certainly can't be a dead person (spiritually dead) hoping to draw life from dead objects. A dead body in a coffin dressed in fine clothes and nice shoes and in a 24k casket is STILL a dead body. A well-dressed dead body, but a lifeless body nonetheless.

  So many of these rap artists have had fatherless homes. Every young man should have a positive male role model or else they may turn to BET to get one. And there are NO positive role models on BET. On BET, Blacks are basically trained to refer to and see themselves as "niggas, b******, hoes, drug dealers, thugs, juvenile delinquents, and convicts." So these black rappers are looking at "daddy" rapper who seems to be happy. Who seems to be secure and superior with all this fancy things and with all his sexcapades. These men WANT these things to make them feel secure and superior too! If you're not a Black person in America, then you won't totally understand what effect the media can have on you. You are made to feel inferior and beneath people because of your ancestry and dark skin and the statistics. THAT'S why so many Black people voted for Obama even though he probably wasn't the best man for the job. It was because they wanted so badly to have a good role model. So if you have REALLY low self-esteem and feel REALLY inferior like these rap artists (some of which were poor and raised in the ghettoes and utterly rejected by their fathers), you're going to do what it takes to meet these needs (for a loving father), heal those hurts (of rejection), and resolve those issues (of inferiority and insecurity).

  I don't feel like going into all the details about how each of these rap stars sold their souls. You can watch the tapes for yourself. I posted a couple yesterday (10/9). But I will go on to Genesis which is the first book of the Holy Bible. Genesis contains the FIRST account of how inferiority and insecurity led a human being to sin. You see, in the Garden of Eden, the truth of who Eve was in God was SECURE. She also was NOT INFERIOR because she had no competition, of course, and she had never heard that she was lacking anything as far as looks or intelligence was concerned among other things. Eve only had one source of truth. That was God. God's word. Whatever God's word said was truth to Adam and Eve. What God said was all there was to know! So if God said, "Don't do this or you will die," Eve believed it 100% because it was the only thing she knew.

  Suppose you never left the house and never watched TV and never read anything since you were born. If your mom told you, "Sherry, your body is not made to survive outside. You will die the second you step foot outside. The only air your lungs can tolerate is the air in this house. If you step past this threshold, you will die immediately," you would NEVER leave the house! You'd only leave if you were suicidal. OR you might leave if a visitor stopped by and asked, "Hey, Sherry, why don't you ever leave the house? It's not like you'll die or anything. Come on out! The weather's fine!" You'd leave if this visitor said that AND IF you were NOT SECURE in what your mom said. If you didn't TRUST your mom. That visitor gave you doubts about the validity of what your mom said. The only truth you knew concerning outside air. That visitor made you unsure of your mom and her motives. Your curiosity may cause you to ask yourself, "I wonder what's out there that my mom didn't want me to experience. It must be something good." Eve too thought God was withholding something good from her because Satan told her that the fruit would make her wise and open up her eyes likeGenesis 3:4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

  So that paragraph 100% covers the insecure part. Humans are made to want to feel secure. That's why babies lose it if Mommy is gone for too long. That's why husbands get homicidally paranoid if their wives are out too late. That's why employees freak out if their boss calls them into their office. That's why people get nervous when their doctors have a puzzled expression on their face. HUMANS NEED SECURITY! Humans HATE to be insecure or unsure about anything. Fears are caused when we're not sure of what's going to happen to us next. So when Satan causes you to feel unsure, you will reach out for anything to stabilize you. That can be drugs, sex, stealing, or even murder. If I told someone that their child was going to die unless they paid me $3,000.00 by Sunday, many would do ANYTHING to get me those funds. That's what kidnappers make their money off of with ransoms - parents' insecurities. They know that a good parent's worse fear and hardest thing to recover from is the death of their child. So they play on these fears/insecurities to get the parents to do things they probably never thought they could or would do. I've heard of drug addicts having sex with dogs to get another fix from their drug supplier. I've heard of mothers letting their drug dealer sleep with their small child for another fix. People will do ANYTHING if they get desperate and insecure enough. Some people depend on drugs or money to make them feel secure in themselves. If drugs make you feel confident if you have an anxiety disorder (the most common mental illness in America), that drug is your security. And you will do anything to get it. If money makes you feel superior to others, money is your security and you will do anything to get that too.

  I wonder is that what happens with these rap artists. They get a little fame, and then their recording producer tells them, "Nelly/Jay-Z/Tupac/Snoop Doggie Dogg, you're very talented. You've sold a lot of albums, it's true. But you'll lose everything if you don't do this thing. Worship Baphomet and sell your soul to Satan. Join the Illuminati and we'll give you all the fame in the world. Just like with the Beatles and so many others." This is the same thing Satan did with Eve. He promised her that she would be like a god. He made her feel inferior in her original God-given position, so out of INSECURITY, she ate the fruit. It wasn't like it wasn't tempting or anything. So is fame and fortune. Much more tempting than some fruit. Remember how Satan tempted Jesus after he had fasted for 40 days in the wilderness? Unlike Eve, Jesus was 100% secure in his position with God. And he also knew 100% that he was loved and accepted in God's eyes. He trusted God 100%. So when Satan offered Jesus food, Jesus refused it. When he offered Jesus ALL the kingdoms in the world, Jesus refused it. Also, keep in mind that Jesus, unlike Eve and Adam, only had ONE source of truth. And that was God's word. That's why he kept quoting scriptures to have Satan back up off him! Had Eve believed ONLY WHAT GOD SAID AND TRUSTED GOD 100%, then she wouldn't have doubted God. And had she not doubted God, she wouldn't have trusted Satan. Can you believe that? Eve trusted Satan 100%! And she trusted God probably 0%!

  Matthew 4: 8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and she weth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;  9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.  10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

  That's how some of us are. We believe what the media and people say about us. If they tell us we're worthless, we try to find some worth. If they tell you that you're ugly because you're fat, you try to get beautiful by buying all their diets and exercise machines or starve yourselves. If they tell us we're unlovable, we'll settle for abusive relationships and cruel friendships. If they tell us we're stupid, we settle for less in life because we think we're not smart enough to attain better. If they tell us that we have to be freaky in bed to keep a man or woman, we try to read magazine articles to teach us how to be freaky or we buy their penis enhancement pills. If they tell us we're inferior, we try to overcompensate by selling drugs or our bodies to make money to buy nice clothes, nice shoes, nice jewelry, nice homes, and nice cars. The media is a mess! The Bible says that money answereth all things. So since you know that much, you think, "Once I get the money, THEN I GET THE LOVE AND WORTH AND ACCEPTANCE THAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL MY LIFE!"

  Ecclesiastes 10:19 - "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things."

  Let me tell you this, Loves. If God showed you a small, small, small fraction of His love for you, you'd melt like butter. You'd not be able to stand. I've heard of accounts of people who said God let Him feel an extra portion of His love for them. One guy said he basically melted onto the floor because he had never felt such tremendous love. The other guy said that God let him feel a fraction. It was so beautiful that he wanted more. God said that he couldn't take anymore because he couldn't live with experiencing any more love. I know this sounds cliche but I am SO serious when I say GOD LOVES YOU, YES YOU, SO MUCH!

  And unlike your parents or friends or ex, God accepts you. He accepts you! He WANTS you! He wants a personal relationship with YOU! YES YOU! You! The same one that the media and others call fat, ugly, old, stupid, worthless, unlovable, and unacceptable, YOU are the same one that God calls lovable, acceptable, worthwhile and valuable. GOD THINKS THAT YOU ARE SO LOVABLE THAT HE SACRIFICED HIS OWN SON TO GET YOU BACK! Not too many people would sacrifice their perfect child to die a terrible death for a bunch of wicked, ungrateful people. BUT GOD LOVED YOU SO MUCH THAT HE DID!

  Don't let society make you feel inferior. There is no one on this earth better than you, and there is no one on this earth that is lesser in value than you. We are all created equal! You're created in God's very image. Male and female! Don't let society make you think that an overweight, elderly person who is handicapped and who is poor is any less in value than a perfectly fit, young person who is rich. One will burn in hell just as easily as the other, and one will enjoy heaven just as much as the other. Believe that! And the afterlife is all that really matters. So draw your identity and security from God alone. Listen to God's voice alone. No one else's voice should matter that much in your life. Don't be like Adam and Eve! Be content with who you are and with what you have. The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil. You'll never be any happier being different than you are right now. If you're miserable overweight, you'll be miserable slim. I have yet to meet a satisfied anorexic. Don't let the devil fool you. He'll have you thinking you'll be happier disobeying God and obeying Him. But Adam and Eve had a bad life after disobeying God. And just as God said, they died. Satan said that they wouldn't surely die, but he lied! That's why I don't get how Satanists can trust Satan. Satan was evil before evil existed! He had no devil to tempt him when he was in heaven, but he STILL got evil! So if Satan can make his own self evil, do you HONESTLY trust him to give you a kingdom in the afterlife? Why would he? He won't get perjury in court for lying on the stand. He won't be imprisoned for lying. He answers to no one. He has no loyalties to anyone. He's betrayed everyone he's ever gotten in contact with.

  In short, if God says something about you, and another person says something contradictory, then THAT person is a liar. God is the only 100% truthful one. The world's facts don't compare with God's truth. If God says you're beautiful, then there is not a single soul in hell or earth or heaven that can say otherwise. Their opinions don't matter. Don't be like Eve who trusts a voice more than God's. If you are hanging around people who say things about you that God doesn't agree with, then you need to find a new group!

  If you are reading this, and want a way out of the occult, know that you cannot out-sin God's grace. The only unpardonable sin is the sin you don't repent of. If the Holy Spirit convicts you of a wrongdoing and you refuse to confess and repent of it, THAT is the sin you will go to hell for. Sin alone does not sin you to hell because EVERYONE sins. And even if we didn't sin, the Bible says OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AS FILTHY RAGS (which at that time meant women's menstrual clothes!)! Sin alone does not send you to hell. Not having Jesus as your Lord and Savior and UNREPENTANT sin is what sends you to hell. There is a way out. Selling your soul to the devil is not permanent. The fact that you can want your soul back proves that you still have a soul. If it was too late for you, you'd have no conscience to even care about having a soul that can go to heaven. Don't let Satan and other Satanists make you think it's permanent. Jesus still loves you. God wants you back!
