A REPROBATE MIND be aware
Romans 1:
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
The dictionary meaning of the word; reprobate, is almost in line with God’s word; Jeremiah 6:30… “a person rejected by God and beyond hope of salvation”, “an unprincipled person… with synonyms; roguish, bad, wicked, rakish, shameless, immoral, profligate, degenerate, dissipated, debauched, depraved, corrupt”
Deep in the heart of every human is the consciousness of the God-head and creator, this means that every human created, is conscious of a CREATOR, he knows that there is ONE that is above him and incapable of his human short-comings; in other words, a human child grows to LEARN how to be wicked, deny the existence of A MAKER and believe over time, that ‘there is no God’.
In these last days (2 Timothy 3:1- 9) indeed, we see many things that are shocking and confusing in the way that they are manifested in people around us and the rate at which these become THE NORM, though obviously SO VERY WRONG! Especially in the church!! The love of God and His word, statutes and counsel above all else; has waxed cold. Psalm 106:43
This writing is to sensitize YOU and I about our moral standing in Christ Jesus, standing firm by His grace to live ‘righteous and Holy’ lives because we can easily fall away with trickery and cunning that abounds in every environment around the globe. The devil is on a rampage and; wants to ruin humanity and pull many along with him, on the way to hell (remember, he is judged already!). Protect your mind, words, actions and relationships against the evil forces that abound all AROUND us and threatens to possess, oppress and of course, depress man into MIND AND PHYSICAL DESTRUCTION!
Identifying the criminals who roam free and are a danger to our remaining saved: they are suave, smooth, seemingly friendly and ‘nice’ but they are deadly snakes, dangerous scorpions and ravenous wolves
High level of egoism and self aggrandizement is an evil manifestation in many people in this time, (Isaiah 2:11, 17; 5:15; Matthew 13:10; 23:12; 2 Peter 2:14; Deuteronomy 21:18- 21) … watch out for the selfie syndrome (pictures and Videos)!
Judges 19… this whole chapter is an eye opener to a REPROBATE MIND AND PEOPLE, note verse 22,
Romans 1:20-21, 25, 28
2 Peter 2… False teachers have abound leading MANY into gross untruth with finely spun words and human intellectual jargon, Verse 17 warns us to continually TEST EVERY SPIRIT so that we shall not be led by “wells without water”… many shepherds(?) today are devoid of God’s spirit of truth! Every Christian is expected to study in-depth, the truth of the word of God to be and remain grounded. 2 Timothy 2:15
Jude 1; Romans 2:4
Before the almighty and merciful God can REJECT a creature of His (like in the time of NOAH); the cup of iniquity of that individual must be FULL and sealed!
A person who is not remorseful, is not bothered by guilt feelings, he is simply without empathy and is cold, purposefully distant in any ‘good’ emotions (Ephesians 4:18)
The Christian who is willing to serve God in spirit and in truth shall be sensitive in the spirit and watch out for persuading and MANIPULATIVE spirits that inhabit men and women, BRETHREN that are snakes and ravenous wolves but appear as ‘gentle lambs’… ‘even the devil appears as an angel of light’!
Jude :
12 These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
Matthew 13:
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes THEY have closed,…
Ephesians 4:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
2 Timothy 3:
12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
