Daily Deprogramming

Three of the most Godly men in scripture  immediately come to my mind as I think about those who loved the Lord and asked Him , “why?”  

The first was Job.  Job was singled out by God Himself as a righteous man. He was beset with woes none of us could even imagine when God allowed the enemy room to test his faith. God called Job faithful through his sufferings and Job  often asked God,  ”why”.  He moaned, complained and contended with God  and asked why.  God  made him whole when he prayed for his friends. His life was turned around by the Lord’s blessing upon it!

Then there was Abraham.  He was called “Jehovahs friend.”   When God was going to destroy Sodom and Gommorah for their sin ,Abraham asked Him,  ”why?”  would You destroy everyone  if there were 50 good men?   He did this three or four times and finally God said if there were 10 good men he wouldn’t destroy the city.

We have the example of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. He cried out “Father, “why?” have you forsaken Me?”

I’m sure there are many more examples of Gods faithful saints asking, “Why?”   Cult leaders tell people not to ask any questions.  If you ask “why?” , It makes you THINK  about things they want you to shut your mind to.   They want  absolute control of you, which includes  your mind, your soul, your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions.   They even want to have your heart’s  devotion.  THEY WANT YOU TO GIVE UP YOUR GOD -GIVEN CONSCIENCE AND FOLLOW THEM BLINDLY WITHOUT ANY QUESTIONS ASKED! 

False leaders  may try to lure you with all kinds of smooth  ”spiritual” words to lead you, but their words are only self-serving and designed to reign you in and control you.  Ardith Keef’s Daily Devotional today is a perfect example of this.   I refuse to even read most of her words anymore; they are so obviously seductive , and without any Holy Spirit power.  Now that I can see clearly, her empty words  are like  Jesus said of the Pharisee’s, “a yawning grave” ,and repel and disgust me. 

 Don’t be afraid of her words!  ”The Kingdom of God does not consist in words but in POWER.”  1Cor 4:20    satan knows the Word of God better than any of us.  Be assured he will use the truth to ensnare the unwary, ( albeit twisted and slippery versions), but the fruit of a person or ministry tells the whole story! 

Obeying anyone who isn’t God ,and letting them take control of our being becomes WORSHIP of them and IDOLATRY!   It is SIN.  Don’t be afraid to ask why? , when? , where?, who?, with whom?  or what?   You have to ask questions to test the fruit!  You have to ask questions to test the spirit!   You have to ask questions to make sure you are where you ought to be. 

 Don’t be caught like an animal in satan’s snare!  Or like the poor fly seduced and lured to a sure death on satans spider-web.   YOU CAN ASK YOUR LORD ANYTHING AT ALL, HE LOVES YOU!  HE SAID YOU ARE “FREE”   (Free to ask, free to live, Free to choose where you worship, free to decide what is best for your life)   BECAUSE HE SET YOU FREE!  Don’t believe satans lies!
