Daily Deprogramming

Today Ardith begins by telling us that according to 1Thessalonians we have, “…all the privileges and rewards of the new life in Christ Jesus the Messiah.”

Then she asks us some rather pointed questions.  “Why then do we insist on living as though it were not true?  Why must we impale ourselves on the day to day drudgeries?  Why must we worry and fret and rehearse our past losses and hurts?  Why are we blinded to the needs of those around us?”

She doesn’t give us any answers, but continues with her  stale and stagnant, contorted  interpretation of scripture, twisting the Truth to keep her followers in tow.  All they continue to have  to lead them is her well used example of being some kind of model or pattern of the “Soldier of the Cross.”   If you follow her folks, are you truly following Him? I don’t think so!  Look  back at at her life!  Ask questions.   She wants you to look forward at all costs.  She doesn’t want people to ask any questions.

Examine the fruit!  Test the spirits!  Take a good look at what is going on in your soul and spirit.  Are you continually troubled ,and  do her teachings seem to be falling flat, even though they “seem” to sound like the truth?   You long to have a relationship with Jesus like she has ,but can’t get there as hard as you try.  Can you never seem to reach the goal she holds out to you?

My answer to Ardith’s questions today  is that perhaps we have not settled old accounts with people and with God.  We have to repent when we have a history of hurting people ,and our sin will keep us from “seeing.”  The Bible says , “Leave your gift at the altar , and make things right with your brother who has something against you. Then proceed.”  Matthew 5:23  Perhaps some people  ”rehearse past losses ” and hurts , and “worry and fret”  over them because they have damaged people including their own families  thinking it was somehow “God’s will for them”  , and they can’t reconcile and justify their behavior even in view of Ardith’s doctrines.

I talk to these broken, damaged  people almost every day.  Good people, destroyed  in spirit and soul by arrogant  religious bullies.   Harmed and wounded by authoritarian church leaders who have cast them out as wicked,  some are children who have been cast aside by their own fathers and mothers  in the name of Jesus.  Shunned and spiritually crippled, emotionally disabled and impaired in many cases.  Religious bullies, afraid of simple questions and criticism , beating them over the head with their version of “The Cross.” 

“Taking up our cross daily “does not mean abusing others  with it, especially our families.  It doesn’t mean leaving our mates and dividing our families to follow someones perverted views!  Ardith Keef’s life and legacy of many marriages, divorces, breaking up of families and churches , dividing children from each other  and from parents and grandparents proves exactly what her version of “the  Cross” is all about.  This is the fruit of her false and hurtful cross beliefs and  teaching! 

 The Truth is brethren  , that “the Cross”  is about humility and Love,  not pride and abuse.   It is about the “death of the flesh” not hurting and crippling your brothers, and praying for them to die.    Hers is a parallel kingdom, that only simulates the truths of the True One.  This makes it a lie!  satan is the father of lies, not God.  satan is the great deceiver!

She lures  us  into oblivion , catching us by our emotions , with all these ”tremendous things!”  about “Heavens economy”, Our “Royal Race”,  the Kingdom of His Dear Son” , and the seal of Promise in our hearts.”   Then she keeps us ensnared  with,    “Can you go back?  Of course not. You must proceed.” 

To this I answer, before we  can enjoy the privileges and rewards of Heaven  here,   before we can even cross “The Line”  we  have to take care of the old business of sin. 

Take for example  one day you were driving a car  to church, got distracted and went through a stop sign.  You hit a man and his wife walking with a stroller. Do you stop and take care of the situation , and take full responsibility for your actions ,  or do you continue on your merry way to church?  Church is important and we are commanded to meet together, but the situation must be taken care of immediately.  There is  only one choice in the matter!

In Ardith’s kingdom, you simply  ”look up and move on.”   It doesn’t matter how much harm you have done.

It  absolutely  isn’t so in the Kingdom of Heaven.   We need to take care of the old business , and make things right with those we have harmed, asking  for forgiveness of both God ,and the ones we have damaged, as best we can.   Reaching out in humility to those  whom we have left  hurting along our highways of life,  we  can  begin  to  freely claim all His Promises.

If we love the Lord, and we are His ,He will do everything He can to convict us and convince us  of our need for repentence. He will chasten us soundly when we need it!  He has invested His life for us ,and He won’t give up on us.  When we just can’t get beyond a tormenting  struggle and conflict in our soul,  perhaps we’re being convicted of sin , and that is why we  can’t get past events out of our minds.  This is a good thing.  It would behoove us to take heed and make haste to right the wrongs we have inflicted upon others,  whether while deceived, unintentionally or purposely!  Then my brethren there will be victory!   Until then blindness and slavery to sin.  False doctrines, false fire, and a false kingdom.
