It is one thing to say that “We Are Q”
It is one thing to say that “We Are The Plan”
It is one thing to say that “We Are the News”
It is even one thing to say that “We Are Trump”
But to say that “We Are The Way, The Truth, And The Life,” as the as website Power Passion Freedom appears to be teaching, is to make ourselves out to be the source of truth, the definer of right and wrong, and the source of life itself and thereby declaring ourselves to be God, and if that is the case, then the universe is in serious trouble because that would mean that we are a deity that is hopelessly divided within itself, suffering from a very severe case of schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder, and on top of that, we have a very bad case of amnesia because we don’t know how we created the universe and probably never will. Those are the ramifications for those who adopt the pantheistic philosophy being promoted in the featured prayer event flyer posted on the PPF website.
If we are the truth, then truth is whatever we all decide for it to be and there is no guarantee that we are all going to come to an agreement as to what that truth is and even if we did, it would still be subject to change and it be according to whatever the collective body of humanity decides it to be and is subject to change, then truth is then rendered a meaningless concept and if truth is then a meaningless concept subject to change, then we are without any clear sense of direction being tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, exchanging one favored opinion for another and if we can’t even remember how we created life, then how can we call ourselves God?
In order to be God, we would have to be unified within our collective self, have a clear sense of direction, and be all-knowing, all-powerful, and all present but humanity is not present everywhere. None of us are all-powerful nor are any of us all-knowing. We are beings of limited power and knowledge who eventually come to the end of ourselves and have no choice but to rely upon a power greater than our own, not to mention humanity is divided against itself, not know what religious, philosophical, political, or economic system it wants to embrace which is why there are so many in existence competing against one another for the hearts, minds, and souls of men.
In order for the way, the truth, and the life to have any meaning at all, it must come from a power and authority that is in perfect unity within itself, unchanging in its ways, and imparting truth that remains the same from generation to generation and it must be from a power and authority to whom all life owes its existence and which is the source of all things and it is only the Creator of all things who qualifies to be the way, the truth, and the life, and not a collective consciousness suffering from amnesia and a horrendous case of schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder.
And it is around the Creator of all things we must rally. It is to His authority we must appeal. It is His truth and ways that we must seek. It is before His mercy that we must throw ourselves. It is in Him in whom we must trust for the wisdom, guidance, and the provision we need. It is in Him alone we must to sustain us in difficult times and deliver us from evil. It is Him to whom we give praise and thanksgiving in times of peace and prosperity, and in Him do we trust for the truth in which we must abide, to show us the way in which we must walk, for it is before Him all must stand and give an account for all that we have done in this life, and before Him we must examine ourselves, and in Him alone must we find redemption when we find ourselves falling short of what He requires us.
And though we may have some understanding what truth is, we have been estranged and blinded to what that truth is but that we have that basic concept innate within us along with an understanding of right and wrong is evidence that mankind did know the truth and the way in which he must walk at one time but then was somehow estranged and alienated from it.
Scripture tells us of a time when man was in perfect unity with His Creator and not only in perfect unity with His Creator but also in harmony in nature as well over which he was given dominion. There was just one thing forbidden to him: Fruit from a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and alongside it was also the tree of life. (Gen. 2:9) The first man Adam and his wife Eve, from whom all of humanity descend, were given a choice between life and death but sadly, they chose death when, at the behest of a deceptive and wicked entity, they ate the fruit of that tree and as soon as they committed that one act of disobedience, sin entered into them.
When sin entered into them, then so did death, and just as they eventually died, then so do all men die because of sin (Rom. 6:23) because the sin which had entered into Adam and Eve was then passed down into all of mankind (Rom. 5:12) and not only did sin bring death to man, but a curse upon all of creation (Rom. 8:19-22) which has resulted in the dark world in which we live in which death and decay reign and in which all form of suffering, pain, grief, hardship, struggle, adversity, sin, and evil abound and which were not present in the world that God had created, and not only that, that serpent who deceived Eve into eating that fruit by promising that she and Adam would not die but that they would be as gods, (Gen. 3:4-5) who is that fallen Cherub called Lucifer, claimed dominion over the kingdoms of the world (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) which is why he is called the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) ever at work keeping as many souls as he can captive, blinding them to that very truth that comes from God that might lead them out of that captivity of that darkness of Satan and into the glorious redemptive, liberating light of God, suppressing anything that might open men’s eyes to their fallen state and their need for redemption, attempting to discredit the authority of that by which the Gospel of salvation is delivered, and deceiving many with various elaborate lies and falsehoods, lulling the masses into a false sense of peace and security, keeping them unaware of the dangers to their very souls and of the spiritual darkness into which all are born because of sin because the adversary of God seeks not only to ruin what God has created and destroy the lives of men, he also seeks to destroy as many souls as he can by leading them into an everlasting punishment without end which is the fate of all those who remain in their sins.
But God is not willing that any should perish in eternal torment, but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) for though the day come that all sin, no matter how slight, must be judged and face punishment, He, in His love for us and in His mercy has provided us redemption in Christ Jesus, His only begotten Son whom He sent into this world as that needed and perfect sacrifice for our sins; the sinless Christ (2 Cor. 5:21, Heb. 4:15) dying for sinful man and it is by His death and shed blood that the demanded penalty was satisfied, and redemption for mankind bought and it is by His resurrection that our faith in Him is justified. (Rom. 4:25)
And just as the souls of them who come to Christ are cleansed from their sins and reconciled to the Father, so one day our very bodies will be liberated from death as well when the corruptible is changed into an incorruptible form (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18) and lastly, creation itself will be freed from the curse afflicting it because of sin when it passes away by fire (2 Pet. 3:10-12) and then made anew in which there is no sin, no death, no curse, no wickedness or evil, no suffering, grief, sorrow, pain, or hardship of any sort for all those things will be no more when this present world passes away. (Rev. 21-22)
And despite the fact that the days of Satan’s dominion over the world have been numbered, he, believing in his immense pride that he can still somehow win, fights and continues to fight against the Gospel of Jesus Christ by which men are saved from eternal damnation by various means and devices which includes various forms of persecution against the saints which include ridicule, shaming, threats and intimidation, social ostracization, loss of income and livelihood, civic punishment, violence, and even death.
With various lies and misrepresentations, the adversary seeks to turn as many as he can from the faith and hide from them anything that might vindicate in their sight the Gospel of salvation, reveal to them their fallen nature, and show them their need for redemption that they might call upon the name of Christ for the forgiveness of sins that they may be delivered from what would otherwise be everlasting damnation.
And what the adversary cannot destroy from without, he will attempt to infiltrate and destroy from within and he has done this very well with the Church by causing professing followers of Christ to fall into sin and disgrace themselves and with that, the name of Christ they profess to honor, discouraging them by sending any number of adversities that there could be against them, causing them to fear man more than God, to honor other things above God, diverting them away from the affairs of the heavenly kingdom by getting them caught up in the cares and worries of this present life and with building up temporal earthly wealth for themselves rather than the everlasting treasures of heaven and raising up for themselves earthly empires rather than expanding the heavenly empire, causing bad conduct, wickedness, and sinful behavior to be tolerated and even affirmed within the Church rather than confronted and purged, dividing the saints over petty matters on which either the scriptures call for tolerance or have no comment on in order to hinder unity on doctrines more essential to the faith, introducing into the ranks of the saints various false doctrines and false gospels that lead men astray from the purity of the Gospel, which cause many to embrace the doctrines of men and devils rather than that which comes from the incorruptible, divinely inspired, and authoritative Word of God (2 Tim. 3:16), which undermine confidence in the authority and sufficiency of scripture which then may eventually lead to the overthrow of faith in the Gospel of salvation which is delivered to us through the scriptures written and compiled under the direction of the Holy Spirit, and also lulling the Church into a state of complacency, apathy, and laziness.
If the devil is not afraid to accuse the saints before God in Heaven (Rev. 12:10) and does not fear infiltrating the body of Christ to render as many saints as possible inept or useless for the Kingdom of Heaven and the spreading of the Gospel of redemption, then he most certainly is not afraid to infiltrate, poison, pervert, and corrupt from within any institution or movement no matter how well respected, honorable, credible, and well-intended such may seem and it appears, according to the event flyer featured on the PPFwebsite, that he has infiltrated the MAGA movement and deceiving some of its adherents into buying into that same lie the serpent told Eve in the garden, (Gen. 3:4-5) only coached in different words and phrases.
But this I can say: We do need to pray for our nation. We need to fall upon our faces before God Almighty and examine ourselves before Him. If we expect any favors from Him, then we all need to make sure that we have made our peace with Him first and give Him due honor and reverence in all that we do.
We need to seek His forgiveness for the evil that we have done and turn away from all that is displeasing in His sight, and there are so many things of which this nation needs to repent of.
We need to repent of shedding the blood of the innocent.
We need to repent of making a mockery of the things sacred and holy in the sight of our Maker.
We need to repent of the unrighteousness and wickedness that we have affirmed and taken pleasure in.
We need to repent of exalting and affirming of those things that are evil in the sight of the Lord and of giving approval to those who have set themselves at enmity with our Maker and take pleasure in evil.
We need to repent of our selfishness.
We need to repent of our pride.
We need to repent of our complacency.
We need to repent of our cowardice and faithlessness.
We need to repent of placing our trust in other things rather than in the God who is able to meet all of our needs, sustain us in difficult times, and is able to deliver us from evil.
We need to repent of taking for granted the blessings and grace bestowed upon us and recognize that it is by the love, grace, and mercy of God that we receive them.
We need to embrace the light of God and not the darkness of this world.
We need to seek out, embrace, and abide in the truth that comes from Him and not the lies of this world.
We need to learn that which is right and good in His eyes and abide accordingly.
We need to invite him back into our education and learning.
We need to praise Him and exalt Him in our entertainment.
We need to use the gifts and talents that He has given us for His glory.
We need to fear Him more than any man.
We need to seek His favor and honor above that of any man.
We need to learn what it is to store up treasures in Heaven.
We need to seek Him out for wisdom and guidance.
We need to trust in His providence.
We need to trust in Him to deliver us from evil and to sustain us during difficult dark seasons.
We need to give praise and thanks for the blessings that the God who made us bestows upon us and show gratitude and appreciation for the love and mercy that we receive from Him.
And we need to learn to do all things in the power and authority of our Creator which never fails and not in our own strength which is subject to failure.
For every MAGA rally, we need to have a Jesus rally.
For every protest event against the injustices and abuses committed by our governing authorities, there needs to be a time of prayer before God Almighty.
And for every political speech given, there needs to be a sermon calling men to repentance in Christ, and instructing, admonishing, encouraging, and edifying the saints of God.
