Experiential Christianity

2 Sep 2022 GBC Friday night lesson

Intro -
The first portion of the message is going to be some illustrations to set the tone of the history of problems that we need to be applying BD towards…. experientially.
And with these illustrations as background we can explore what the word of God has to say to withstand adversity, attacks and a general downfall of humanity.
It is my purpose that you can use these examples and identify adversity (if it needs to be identified) and can then recall what the bible has to say and apply it for yourself. With the result of a RMA, tranquility of soul and then with that doctrine be a witness by what you say and how you live your life.

Experiential Christianity

[^]
Experiential Christianity is the results of living the spiritual life, / life inside God’s PPoG, PPoG, CWLiving .
We also use synonymous terms like Experiential +R and experiential sanctification. I use Experiential Christianity because the words are self defining.

We emphasize (learning) because it is the gateway and our foundation… Yet what you learn has to be understood (metabolized) / and then adopted into your thinking (Motivation) before it can be applied.
Knowledge or epignosis without the motivation and application is near useless. It’s only academic / – and one can talk a good story but not live a wonderful life. / Failure to apply is a big of a problem just as failure to submit yourself, in humility, to learn BD from your prepared PT.

We in this church and several like it have sound BD taught to us. / And in the course of human events we have experienced / - esp in the USA - / relative tranquility, so application is a little easier.
But, when tested – strong personal adversity and pressure /
OR in times of national decline – your mettle will really be tested.
That is why the test of the mosquito(s) / – using the F/R Drill, / Doctrinal rationales / esp the PoG and Essence of God rationales / - are so important insuring that you are prepared for the charge of the elephant.

It is this charge of the elephant and our experiential Christianity that I want to review and focus on.

We just experienced, in the grand scheme of things, a modest crisis. COVID.
And to put it into perspective – what is the level of crisis that believers in Ukraine are facing right now?

And so with COVID, some believers had difficulties in handling it. To get a shot or not, / to keep getting boosters or not, / can the gov’t shut down a church – work – stores – your livelihood? / How many of the small business are shut down forever, / or only operating on limited hours because the govt is paying people not to work. / Masks, no masks…. The list of mosquitoes goes on.

We need to be resilient in our knowledge of and application of BD and the Laws of Divine Establishment / which are the 4 DIs - Freedom, marriage, family and nationalism; plus the Rule of Law to handle these things.
That Plus, and I mean PLUS, Trust, / reliance, dependency upon G/F’s promises to protect us, our families and our church / – not to mention our mission in life. And here I refer to the Great Commission TLJC gave the disciples.
As technon’s, as technical students of the word of God, we are disciples of TLJC on this earth. So we need to pay attention.

Now let’s look at a few things and learn to apply BD correctly – experientially.

Recently I was made aware of false teachers (Rom 16:17-18, 2 Cor 11:4), those who say or represent that they are doctrinal. Some are calling for speaking out against the govt from the pulpit under the guise of the Shepherd protecting the flock.
Make no mistake. The PT job is to study and teach BD (1 Peter 5:1-2). Calling out ridiculous [farcical] and even dangerous and odious behavior – anti establishment and anti-God behavior of the govt or individuals is not in that charter.
As Pastor says “what is the chapter and verse” that says PTs should speak out against the govt? [no ref]
“ohhhh you are not protecting the flock if you do not speak out. That sounds good, they even have a verse to back that up (Acts 20:29-31, 1Pet 5:2)
Yet, that is an insidious lie straight from the pit of hell. Directly from the cosmic system, directly from Satan, and yet it appeals to soooo many.

[[
Rom 16:17 ¶ Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye [be alert] on those who cause dissensions and hindrances [apostasies] contrary to the teaching [BD] which you learned, and [CMD] turn away from them.
Rom 16:18 For such men [believers] are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites [lusts, emotions - wanting to feel good]; and by their smooth and flattering speech they [messengers of false teaching] deceive the hearts [rt lobe – thinking] of the unsuspecting [stupid].

2 Cor 11:4 For if one comes and [1] preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached [attack the person of JC], or [2] you receive a different [G/H]spirit which you have not received [attack the person of G/HS], or a [3] different gospel [attack salvation through faith] which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. [Your love should be of the BD not false teachers!]

1 Peter 5:2 [CMD] shepherd [feed] the flock of God among you, exercising oversight [authority] not under compulsion, but voluntarily, according to the will of God; and not for sordid gain [for $$], but with eagerness [proper motivation, love for Christ];

Acts 20:29 "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;
Acts 20:30 [Warning] and from among your own selves [Pastors] men will arise, speaking perverse things [things against the word of God], to draw away the disciples after them.
Acts 20:31 "Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.
]]

Why does it appeal to so many?

And here is the experiential part I want to get across.

So lets look at this protecting the flock argument from a doctrinal perspective – and I mean complete doctrinal perspective. Let’s apply some experiential Christianity to this falsehood. Apply the doctrine our Pastor has taught us.

[^]
The first principle is God’s ‘commands’ to us do not conflict.
Yes the PT is to protect the flock.
You know also the bible says do not touch God’s anointed (OT – ref David and Saul; 1 Samuel 26:9 -> 1 Chronicles 16:22; Psalm 105:15) that is not only kings but also DE elected representatives of the people.
Also recall we have a prohibition against judging and this includes God’s anointed, including DE elected reps of the people. (Matt 7:1, Luke 6:37, James 5:9)

[[
Matthew 7:1 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.

James 5:9 [CMD] Do not complain [groan], brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
]]

So what is ‘inbounds’ for you or a PT to illustrate or comment upon?
Actions and policies, not people/individuals.
If and I mean If, the PT wants to use an illustration he can. Or he can let the bible speak for itself – Heb 4:12a word of God is alive and powerful. These illustrations are for the purpose of highlighting and providing perspective and application of BD to experience. NOT to speak out against people or the Gov’t - God’s anointed.

Many know verses or what the bible says yet cannot put them together experientially to thwart cosmic system thinking.

So we must apply all of God’s Instructions, Commands and Promises, not pick and choose which ones to use to justify our actions.
Don’t speak against a person (judging), / do not touch God’s anointed,
/ and protect the flock via BD, / That is the correct implementation of Gods thinking – experiential Christianity.

Don’t rail against getting a shot, not getting a shot –

[^] Psalm 91:6
know what the word of God says -> Psm 91:6 Claim it – with or without a shot) God protects believers in His way and in His timing.

Recall also TLJC controls human history. He does not need you railing against rulers and authorities. He needs you to do your job. (2 Peter 3:18)
[^]
Learn, Think, Motive, Act BD for your own benefit (RMA)
/ and as a witness to others (People will notice why are you different? Then you can say - Well let me explain why I think the way I do ….)

[[
2 Peter 3:18 but [CMD] [keep on] grow[ing] in the [sphere of] [1] grace and by means of the [2] knowledge [gnosis] of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him [JC] be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
]]

We are to Learn, Think and develop a Motivation and then Act in using that BD. And we let BD guide us in our thinking and actions.
BD is what shines the light on evil – not blasting evil from the pulpit.

As I said COVID was a modest crisis.
But as you all know we have been in a gradual and now steeper decline in the US today.

All of us in churches like ours are concerned (worry is a sin) about what we see.
So what is our thinking? It Never Gets Old…. Learn and apply more BD. What’s that song we used to sing – More Power!
Teach our children (and you will see why that is important in a moment) Teach our children (grand children, nieces, nephews, cousins, etc)
Teach them BD and its application for them to use in their situations.

IDing and speaking out against what we see (humanism) is a trap set by Satan to consume precious time that is better spent in studying, learning and applying BD.

Think about this for a moment. If you spent 20 min discussing, usually vehemently, with your friends and neighbors the latest attack on freedom in this country (as you are watching FOX news), wouldn’t that time be better to spent, 20 min, reading Psm 33, Prov 3:5-8, Psalm 91, Prov 11:21? – all which we will see in a moment. Looking back isn’t it better to discuss why you are concerned (attack on freedom) and that you rely and trust God using say Psm 33:10, Psm 91:1.

[^] Psm 91:1

Our PTs have been telling us for years about the eroding loss of freedom in this country.
Let’s spend a moment reviewing the decline.
Perspective is a great enlightenment.

[^] 4 Generation list

Practical Divine Wisdom series: 527-140

I am going to paraphrase a summary that Pastor Bobby Thieme gave two years ago –

Let’s trace the last four generations, that have brought us to this point.
1. The first generation of rebellion is my generation, the Baby Boomers from 1946 to 1964, If you are 58-76 you are a baby boomer.
a) In this first generation there was a portion that rebelled. A certain segment of baby boomers rejected the values and integrity of the what's called, the greatest generation, the World War II generation. They rejected those values and that integrity, and they did it in the 1960s.
b) Some, not all, toyed with socialism and Marxism. I had a marxist in my high school. Refused to say the pledge of allegiance. Spoke out against all the perceived wrong doings of this nation (forgetting all the good)
I personally did not experience Marxism in college but then again I was taking Mathematics, Biology, chem., Physics and the Marxists stay away from those subjects. But we all know that Colleges were filled with indoctrination into Marxism, and socialism. There were many professors, and it's gotten worse.
1) The bumper sticker of their philosophy was “Question Authority”
meaning Question our national standards, i.e. God’s DE

2. The second generation is Generation X, born from 1965 to 1980 (42-57 yrs old). They became very disinterested in God and in Christ. The results of the rebellion. They got their eyes off God and any spiritual life – these were believers, who began to look at what was going on around them, and did not realize what the solution was. Notice that is the key – no BD to answer the questions of the day. Just like the question I posed at the beginning – PT protecting their flock by speaking out against the govt….
a) They did not know and rejected spiritual values.
b) They took the ‘question authority’ of the 60s a step further and embraced humanism, and materialism, as THE lifestyle.
c) And they believed themselves to be utterly in the right, and righteous (recall blowing up abortion clinics!!), while the values of previous generations were mocked. This is the second generation.

3. The third generation of course is the Millennials, from 1981 to 1996 (26-41 yrs old), if you were born at that time you are a millennial.
a) They became the epitome of arrogance and self-indulgence – not everyone but a lot. A large cross section in that generation. It’s large enough that we see it everywhere.
1) You see no one could tell the millennials what to do. They embraced rebellion in their souls. They were so distracted by prosperity, they departed from all interest in spiritual things.
2) They are the ones who want to smoke pot all day because it is not as dangerous as alcohol…
3) And they turn to humanism as a replacement for Christianity. Church attendance, doctrinal teaching, the (feel good) churches were miserably failing at that point. They are demanding, spoiled brats, a lot of them.

4. And finally we come to the fourth generation, Generation Z, born in 1997 to the present (<25). They rejected the past completely. They rebelled against the failure of materialism to satisfy. They fully embraced, many of them, the tenets of socialism. The more radical rejecters embraced Marxism, and their organizations today like, Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA that are dedicated to a Marxist regime in the United States of America. Death to America means exactly that.
a) They're filled with power lust, lies, and violence.
b) They not only foment revolution, but they take it to the streets, it's not just a thought, its actions. They are vocal and violent minority, but they are intimidating Americans, suppressing dissent, causing fear, removing many of the rights that we hold dear.
c) The first amendment is under attack like never before – you actually cannot speak your opinion without being cancelled if it is not the social agenda.
d) They hate the ideas, the values, and the freedoms in America and want to eliminate them for humanism, for humanistic ideology. Again they shout death to America, death of this evil racist nation - in their view. They shout kill the cops, defund the police in order to destroy Divine Establishment, and the Rule of Law.
a. They're going to end racism. ‘Institutional racism’

Let’s look at racism.

[^] Blank
-- -- --
Racism was decided with the War between the States
680,000 white men died to give the black man freedom. 680,000 Union soldiers were killed in the War Between the States.
680,000 vs 116,000 WWI (5x) and 400,007 WWII (1.5x)
and 58,220 Vietnam (12x).
680,000 N soldiers died to free the black man.

We have heard Juneteenth recently. Juneteenth – the US Calvary (military) rode into Texas to inform that state the slaves were freed two years earlier and that it was the policy of the USG. June 19th, 1865 – Juneteenth –
It marks the anniversary of the announcement of General Order No. 3 and Union Army General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas.
The result of 680,000 white men dying to free the black man.

US Constitution is racist? That furthest thing from the real truth, the Truth. Remember the words: In order to form a more perfect union?
That was the second class colonists under Britton that were seeking to be free men and women.
In writing and getting agreement to the US Constitution the N states had to compromise politically with the S. states wrt slavery.
The N was fiercely against slavery.
The S saw it as the means of economic power – farm workers. Cotton, Tobacco, etc.
So they compromised on slavery.
But if you read the writing of the N founding fathers (and notice the founding fathers were mostly northern – they believed that once the US was up and running that they could prevail on getting slavery abolished in the USA.
They did, but it took the War between the States to do so.
Then other events like Juneteenth in Texas.

So racism is not in the Constitution but a compromise to get full independence from GB and to start a new country with their own rules and freedoms. / And eventually freedom prevailed that the black man was freed.
Freed. Freed under the Constitution and Rule of Law of the USA and its people. / And again 680,000 men in the N Army died, / they gave their full measure to freeing the black man.
That is the truth, that is our shared history. That is what we should celebrate.

Does the OSN still reign in unbel and some bels? Yes,
Let me ask you a question. Is anyone born racist? No. Not a single person. We are taught or learn racism from parents, family, friends, others – the cosmic system. From those who are anti freedom, / anti DE / anti Rule of Law. But never, never born that way.
So there is no such thing as institutional racism.
When racism is found, it is individual, it is learned and it is accept as a way of thinking and action.
The only way to end racism is we are all one in Jesus Christ, that's truly the way to end racism, / and that is in the souls of individuals.

That is the truth about racism and our Country’s founding.
But that will not stop the purveyors of propaganda. But you have the true facts.

--- --- ----

Gen Z -
e) Their desire is to bring down our Judeo Christian culture of previous generations, there’s is no longer the United States, and that sense. They won't say we're going to destroy the Constitution, they will simply set it aside in their policies. No enforcement of the Constitution. Just like they pick and choose what laws to enforce today.

Enough people of the USA are acting this way … but worse many more are letting them get away with it. Complicit.

Believers do not grow in the grace and knowledge of JC.
We, as a people, do not fulfill our obligations and educate ourselves and vote properly (for DE candidates)
Also we don’t recall bad politicians from office
And lastly we do not vote with our pocketbooks. We support companies that are openly hostel to BD, and are anti-DE.
As citizens we have gotten lazy/
BUT #1, #1 Is we don’t Learn, Think, Motive and Act.

We have degenerated. We all see it. It began in that baby boomer generation, and we have seen it progress, to what we have now.

So through the progression of these generations in the last 70 years, we have seen the erosion and finally a headlong rush toward humanism,
/ and this includes of course the abolition of the Rule of Law,
/ and the new generation, the Generation Z is now characterized by successful attempts to defund the police, tyranny of government, and the cancel culture.
Looting which is being justified by those in power for political reasons. Designed to sway voters through intimidation, and false narrative, and lies. Is it working?

We are finding out on a daily basis.
And we learn from each successive election what direction we are going. We have another set of elections upcoming, elections are a bell weather of where America is, that's how critical they are. We will find out where America is in just a few months.

The destruction of a capitalist economy, for the shared poverty of socialism, is a major objective of this current generation, and they're deluded into thinking that that's the better way.
That's a curse. And God the Father may just allow us to reap what we sow…

--------- -------

So that decline has been going on for almost all of our life times.

Some ask where is God and where is His lightening bolts of discipline against all these evil doers?

Again let’s have some Divine perspective.
We ‘say’ “in Gods timing” but do you really understand what these words mean in real terms?

Now we do not put God in a box but it is illustrative to see in the past how God handles certain situations.

Nazi Germany in 1932, the raise of Nazism. The evil of Nazism got into full swing inside Germany from 1932-36, then the full evil of Nazism was unleashed on the Germany people. Arrests, imprisonment, people vanishing, concentration camps.
Then in 1939 Germany exported Nazism with the invasion of Poland, and then WWII, which finally did not end until June 1944.

So if you were a doctrinal believer in Germany and yes there were many believers in Germany at that time (~5 million were murdered or imprisoned). You were fervently praying to God that his +R and Justice must act against the Nazi’s. [ref David’s ferverent prayers] You prayed that in 1932, and 1933, 1934 and 1935. More fervently in 1936-38 and 1939 and so on and so forth.
How long was it before God’s +R and Justice stopped Nazi evil? 1932-1944. God allow evil to run its course before it was stopped.

So have some perspective when praying for God’s +R and Justice to meat out justice in the USA. Understand what it means “God’s timing”.

Recall no matter how urgent, God protects believers. Yes you might have a hard time, yes your life maybe asked of you. But, God protects your decedents (Psalm 37:25). God protects believers and God protects his word and God honors His word. Let God handle it – and now you have one perspective of “in God’s timing”.

[^] Psalm 37:25

Pray against the evil, pray God’s +R and Justice prevail,
Pray that people wake up and re-pursue DE - DI’s and the Rule of Law.
and then stand still and watch the Lord.
Sometimes He acts immediately – Red Sea incident
Sometimes He works in a different timing – WWII

But always for his purposes.

BTW what is Gods purposes or what is one major purposes of God.

[^]
1 Tim 2:4 who [JC] desires [wills] [1] all men to be saved [unbeliever]
and [2] to come to the [epignosis] knowledge [through metabolized BD] of the truth [believer].

You can bet that one of the major considerations is salvation for unbel and sp growth for bels. And if it takes years, decades, etc for that to occur then have some perspective of God’s timing.
How long is it going to take someone in the USA today to change their mind and see the need for salvation? Hours? Days, Weeks, years, decades?
How long and how bad does it have to get for believers to return to BD?

[^]

How long did it take you to become saved?
How long did it take for members of your family to become saved?
How long does it take for a friend of yours to stop making bad decisions with criminality OR drugs, alcohol, sex and return to God and get started with their CWLiving?

How long did you spend in reversionism before you Rebounded and returned to BD?

Time is a concept that God created for mankind. Time is for man, not for God.

Have some perspective, and do your job.
Study,
Pray for what is right (1 Tim 2:4)
Grow in the knowledge of our grace and knowledge of God.
Know that God does defend the weak and delivers the +R.
See what is happening and put it into perspective.

Come to bible class to learn.
Spend time thinking about what Pastor is teaching This Ephesians series will be great for that. It is one of the great epistles in the NT.
Make adjustments in your thinking and be motivated to act.
All the while growing in Gods grace and knowledge.
Be a light unto the world
Let your lifestyle be one that is different – relaxed, using Gods DI and Rule of Law as your guide and think and display BD in your life.
And let God handle the situations – no matter how bad it gets or its impact upon you and your family.

---------- ---------
So with that all as background let’s look to what God says

[^]
Gal 6:7 [CMD] Do not be deceived, God is not [passive voice - cannot be] mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

• General princ: Reaping is two things: First "the Law of Volitional Responsibility" – bad decisions are punishment. God lets your bad decisions play out; and second He withdraws any protection from you and your circumstances.
• Their life in the end is a life of horror, it is a life of dishonor, it is a life characterized by anger, by hatred, by bitterness. That's the result of rejection of God and His word, and it's always the result. It brings bitterness, an anger, and hatred to the forefront of the thinking of those who reject God, because they have nothing else to anchor themselves with. You can see it in their countenance. They might have a good exterior but inside is death and destruction. They lead a life of misery.
o I like this countenance part – recall Pastor teaches us the eyes are the windows to the soul. Have you looked deeply into the eyes of those who are yelling at you – on TV or otherwise –
 First if they are yelling at you then you know their position is wrong. Yelling is trying to coerce you. (just like 2 yrs olds)
 Second when you look into their eyes all I see is misery and hatred for those they are speaking to.
o Look into their eyes and see what you see.
• Lastly, God knows how to punish and if it was not for some modicum of His grace (1Tim 2:4) they would be consumed.

Who are those who mock or scoff at God? Anyone who promotes a false religion that is not biblical ranging from Athiests, to cult religions - Mormons, JWs, Rev Sun Yong Moon, etc to false teachers (of Christianity) Roman Catholicism, to those who promote Humanism such as the Progressives, those who mock at Divine Institutions of biblical marriage, family, freedom and nationalism. Usually any form of activism (moral and immoral). God will not be mocked.

So what is the believers attitude toward mockers in general?
1) we should stay away from such people (stop watching TV and the ‘Rectangle of Knowledge’);
2) we should pity them because of the internal torment and mental horrors they are or will occur;
3) we should pray for our enemies, recall 1 Tim 2:4
4) we should continue to have a RMA, living inside the PoG using PSDs and F/R Drill to hold our PVTBD attitude, knowing God will protect you [F/R Drill] and
5) Watch the deliverance of the Lord. Ex 14:14, 2 Chron 20:17 and fulfill the principle of Jer 1:19, Deut 1:30, 3:33, 20:4.

[^]
Jer 1:19 And they will fight against you but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to save you,” declares Yahweh – TLJC.

[[
Time check and skip ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] < :30 or skip

And there's also an aspect, a corporate aspect to all of this. When a nation becomes perverse, and scoffs at God, at His wisdom, at His divine establishment, what happens? Turmoil and rebellion become rampant, the rule of law, which is what our Constitution provides for, not the rule by fiat, not the rule by Czar’s not by Kings, not the rule by individuals, but the rule of law. The rule of law is denigrated for political correctness, the tyranny of arrogant people, and government is promoted. Freedom is often forfeited, because people are so diluted by the words of the mockers [promises made, esp free things], they don't recognize the cursing that they bring on themselves.

God allows the inevitable results of the evil to run its course. Recall God set up DI's to protect the human race. When people or institutions do not follow that, then the inevitable result happen, they destroy themselves. Destroy themselves because God's way is the only way to have a prosperous human race. Why? because God wants freedom, freedom of soul, 1st Amendment of the US Constitution - freedom for 1Tim 2:4.

Scoffers / mockers will fall under their own mocking derision, and in their scoffing, they only mock themselves, and their own foolishness. And they will be destroyed either physically and/or mentally. God will not be mocked. The rejection of doctrine means perpetual self-induced misery in the life of any believer or unbeliever who rejects Divine Establishment, you can bank on that.

So your job is not to change the culture, your job is not to become the activist who’s going to change the world, and they will become politically incorrect, which is correct. That's not your job.
Your job is to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and savior [1 Peter 3:18, 2 Tim.2:4b], that’s what matters.

Turn in your bible to Psalm 12 –

David’s urgent requests…

Psalm 12:1 (For the choir director; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.)
Help, Lord, for the [collection of] godly man ceases to be [the person of spiritual maturity],
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men [churches, nation].
Psalm 12:2 They speak falsehood about one another;
With flattering lips and with a double heart [Hypocritical double standard] they speak. [they think one thing but speak another]
Psalm 12:3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips [conspiracy of the arrogant],
The tongue that speaks great things; [a tongue that talks big, evil]
Psalm 12:4 Who [ungodly, evil, faithless, liars in v1-3] have said, "With our tongue we will prevail [arrogance];
Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?"
Psalm 12:5 [Promise] "Because of the devastation of the afflicted,
because of the groaning of the needy
”Now I will arise” [God rides to the rescue], says the Lord [Jehovah – TLJC];
"I will set him in the safety for which he longs."

Turn to Psalm 91 –

Our promises of protection(s)

[PDW] [Security – Protection of God rationale]

[^]
Psalm 91:1 He [Bel] who dwells [via F/R Drill, doctrinal rationales] in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide [ref Jn 15] in the shadow of the Almighty [el shaddai - the omnipotence of God].

And from the deadly pestilence [deadly hazards].
Psalm 91:4 He will cover you with His pinions [feathers],
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness [truth, integrity of character] is a shield and bulwark.

Psalm 91:5 ¶ [result from v2] You will not be afraid of the terror by night [criminality, etc],
Or of the arrow that flies by day [warfare or any lethal circumstance];
Psalm 91:6 Of the pestilence [corona virus, black plague] that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon [earthquake, volcano, tsunami].
Psalm 91:7 A thousand may fall [die] at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand;

Psalm 91:9 For you [adv bels] have made the Lord, my refuge,

Summary restatement of v 5-9

Psalm 91:10 No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.

Psalm 91:11 ¶ For He will give His angels charge concerning you [1-1 and 1-many],
To guard you in all your ways.
Psalm 91:12 They [angels] will bear you up in their hands,
Lest you strike your foot against a stone.
Psalm 91:13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down. [dangers]

In other words, that kicking of a stone, stepping on a lion, or a cobra, all disasters from outside circumstances that's what this represents.
The angels may lift believers out of danger and deliver them from these dangers, these metaphorical dangers

Now we transition from the Psalmist speaking to God speaking to the advancing believer -

Psalm 91:14 ¶ "[1] Because he [adv bels] has loved Me [executing PPoG, CWLiving], therefore I [TLJC] will deliver him;
[2] I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. [2 deliverances] [maturing believers have deliverance of your soul – only maturing bels]
Psalm 91:15 "He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and honor him.
Psalm 91:16 "With a long life [a life full of happiness] I will satisfy him,
And let him behold [see] My salvation [deliverance]."

[^]
interpretive paraphrase
God will give those [1] who know Him and [2] His word, [3] who love Him and [4] who call on Him; so many proofs of His care and security that He bestows on them, that they will be super impressed how wonderfully God can deliver in all needs of body and soul, just be cognizant and trust it, it will happen.
4 things – know God, His word, Love Him and call upon him
---- ---

Psalm 37:25 I have been young [stupid], and now I am old [mature];
Yet I have not [never] seen the [experientially] righteous forsaken,
Or his descendants begging bread.

Again, I am sure there are advancing bels in Ukraine, some may have died, but you can trust that God preserves (honors) their descendants.

Turn to Psalm 33:10

Here is an application of Gal 6:7 –
Evil doers will be punished.

Psalm 33:10 #115

[^]
Psalm 33:10 [Promise] The Lord nullifies the counsel [thwarts the plans] of the nations [globalism, anti-Nationalism, UN, EU];
He frustrates [to bring to nothing] the plans [intensions, purposes] of the peoples. [those who are attacking the client nation & DE people]

[^] blank

[PDW]
Psalm 33:11 [v10-11 Promise] The counsel [advice] of the Lord stands forever, [can be accepted or rejected]
The plans [intensions, purposes] of His heart [what God thinks] [go] from generation to generation [endless generations, eternal].

Client Nation responsibility
[PDW]
Psalm 33:12 [v10-12 Promise] Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

EZE 18:20 "The person who sins [lifestyle, negative volition] will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself. [you reap what you sow individually] [4th Gen curse]

This tells us that some Generations have to die and go away and that other generations will not be judged for other generation’s actions.
Like the Exodus Generation it is either metanoia (met-an'-oy-ah) or wandering in the desert for 40 years and dying. That is what each of the 4 generations I covered earlier must reconcile to do.

Turn to Psalm 37

Psalm 37:1 (A Psalm [Maschil—a teaching psalm] of David.)
Do not fret because of evildoers [evil doings],
Be not envious [jealous anger and reaction- MAS] toward wrongdoers [wrong doings]. [why? ->]
Psalm 37:2 For they will wither quickly like the grass,
And fade like the green herb.

[^]
Psalm 37:3 [CMD] Trust [F/R] in the Lord, and [CMD] do good;
[CMD] Dwell in the land and [CMD] cultivate faithfulness.
Psalm 37:4 [CMD] Delight yourself in the Lord [a relationship with Him];
[Promise] And He will give you the desires of your heart.

[^]
Psalm 37:5 [CMD] Commit your way to the Lord,
[CMD] Trust also in Him, and [Promise] He will do it.
Psalm 37:6 And He [TLJC] will bring forth your [experiential] righteousness as the light,
And your judgment as the noonday. [Therefore what? ->]

[^]
Psalm 37:7 ¶ [Promise] [CMD] Rest in the Lord [RMA & tranquility] and [CMD] wait patiently for Him [timing of God, F/R Drill mastered, Lam.3:25];
[CMD] Do not fret [do not be concerned] because of him who prospers in his [wicked] way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Psalm 37:8 [CMD] Cease from anger, and [CMD] forsake wrath;
[CMD] Do not fret, it leads only to evildoing. [Why?]
Psalm 37:9 For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.
Psalm 37:10 Yet a little while and the wicked man will be no more;
And you will look carefully for his place, and he will not be there.
Psalm 37:11 [Promise] But the humble will inherit the land,
And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

[^] Blank

Psalm 37:12 ¶ The wicked plots against the righteous,
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
Psalm 37:13 The Lord laughs at him;
For He sees his day is coming.
Psalm 37:14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow,
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are upright in conduct.
Psalm 37:15 Their sword will enter their own heart,
And their bows will be broken.

Open your Bibles to Proverbs 11:21,

You know it is just natural HVP thinking that we want those whom are evil to be punished.
But that is not God’s VP thinking.
Recall again 1 Tim 2:4 – what is Gods will in every situation?
But if there is no changing of the mind – metanoia (met-an'-oy-ah) – then Prov 11:21

[^]
Proverbs 11:21 [Promise – guarantee] Assuredly [no question], the evil man will not go unpunished,
But the descendants of the [experientially] righteous will be delivered [blessing by association].

it says this, “Assuredly, in other words there's no question, the evil man will not go unpunished, you know there is comfort in that believe it or not, and there's also comfort in the second phrase, The descendants of the righteous will be delivered.”

The righteous here are the experiential righteous, that means those who are advancing in the spiritual life. Similar to Psalm 37:25 a moment ago.

This verse guarantees that God's Just retribution for evil people, is a certainty.
That's a very comforting thought.

Application: all the evil men, and all the conspiracies that you have uncovered, or at least heard about, and those you have not yet discovered, are all known to God.
Everything that has happened in Washington in the last few years, everything that has happened in your state, everything that has happened in your county, everything that's happened in the city / township in the last several year, months, or at any time.
It is all known by God, the real facts of the unknown are all known by God,

Hence whatever conspiracy theory or actual conspiracy has gotten your attention, especially in these days. And has ruined a night’s sleep or two for you, and has caused not a few a mental attitude sins [MAS], …
Just ease up, relax, apply a little Bible Doctrine,

This is what doctrine does for you in adversity, it calms you, and it provides stability, and it provides a relaxed mental attitude (RMA) even in those situations that you think are truly unimaginable, they're so bad. Stand still and watch the Lord work, Recognize Him at work in this world,

He is not only the punisher of the unjust, he's the deliverer of the just, the experientially righteous believer.
If a relaxed mental attitude (RMA) escapes you, you are not making doctrinal application, you're not using the wisdom that you have learned.

If so then maybe you need to double down on BD and its application,
maybe you need to stop focusing on the news and start focusing on the doctrine that should be metabolized.

Just remember: evil will not go forgotten, or unpunished by God, never. All are part of the cosmic system that seeks to undermine truth, and divine establishment. And God's not going to be mocked, and his truth and divine establishment will not be undermined.

This is the devil's world there's no question about it, but God's justice is the punisher, and that is justice.
It’s not social justice, is not justice that is unequal, it is not justice that is flawed by humanity, it is justice, and He is the deliverer of the believer from the cosmic system.

God is the one who understands the circumstances, God is the one who puts people in the right place, at the right time. The believer who has doctrine, the one who makes a difference. That's what God does, but then God can also punish, all by himself.

But for the believer who falls under the sin nature control,
who fails to advance and to make application of doctrine,
fails to produce to Divine good, or to glorify God in this life through the spiritual life, who are in reversionism, and who failed to Rebound, and live as part of the cosmic system, undoubtedly Divine Discipline will be forthcoming. But always done in love.

Let’s do one of the things I like to do when looking at individual verses. Look at the context.
Turn to Psalm 33:

I covered Psalm 33:10 a moment ago

Psalm 33:10 [Promise] The Lord nullifies the counsel [thwarts the plans] of the nations [globalism, anti-Nationalism, UN, EU];
He frustrates [to bring to nothing] the plans [intensions, purposes] of the peoples. [those who are attacking the client nation & DE people]

Lets look at the entire psalm,
Take this all in as you follow along as I read it to you with a few of my notes imbedded.

This Psalm is a song sung in the Temple and synagogues in Judaism –

[PDW]
Psalm 33:1 Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
Psalm 33:2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;
Sing praises to Him with a harp of ten strings.
Psalm 33:3 Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is upright;
And all His work is done in faithfulness [Love + Immutability, His word never fails].
Psalm 33:5 He loves righteousness and justice [=integrity];
The earth is full of the lovingkindness [unfailing Love] of the Lord.

Psalm 33:6 ¶ By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host. [F/R rationale]
Psalm 33:7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap [divided land and waters];
He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
Psalm 33:8 Let all the earth fear [respect] the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
Psalm 33:9 For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
Psalm 33:10 [Promise] The Lord nullifies the counsel [thwarts the plans] of the nations [globalism, anti-Nationalism, UN, EU];
He frustrates [to bring to nothing] the plans [intensions, purposes] of the peoples. [those who are attacking the client nation & DE people]
[PDW]
Psalm 33:11 [v10-11 Promise] The counsel [advice] of the Lord stands forever, [can be accepted or rejected]
The plans of His heart [what God thinks] [go] from generation to generation [endless generations, eternal].
[PDW]
Psalm 33:12 [v10-12 Promise] Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

[PDW]
Psalm 33:13 ¶ The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men [people, nations - all individually and as groups];
Psalm 33:14 From His dwelling place [JC the King of Kings] He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth [note],
Psalm 33:15 He who fashions the hearts [soul] of them all,
He who understands [discerns] all their works.
[PDW]
Psalm 33:16 The king [client nation] is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength [was David or the strong Goliath delivered?].
Psalm 33:17 A horse [tank, A/C carrier, missiles] is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
[PDW]
Psalm 33:18 ¶ Behold [Wake up, pay attn], the eye of the Lord [the concern of, or care of JC] is on those who fear [respect] Him,
On those who hope [wait] for His lovingkindness [the Unfailing Love of our Lord], [F/R Drill: The Love of God Rationale]
[PDW]
Psalm 33:19 To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine [aka economic depression, xCD].
Psalm 33:20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
Psalm 33:21 For our heart [rt lobe] rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name [person]. [trust in The Love of God Rationale, The God of Jeshurun]
Psalm 33:22 Let Your lovingkindness [grace] [grace and truth], O Lord, be upon us,
According as we have hoped [confidence] in You [Love of God rationale].

Turn to Psalm 3

Recall we read Psm 37:10 a moment ago – The Lord nullifies….

Psalm 33:10 [Promise] The Lord nullifies the counsel [thwarts the plans] of the nations [globalism, anti-Nationalism, UN, EU];
He frustrates [to bring to nothing] the plans [intensions, purposes] of the peoples. [those who are attacking the client nation & DE people]

Here is David’s application

Psalm 3:1 (A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.)
O Lord [a lament, in distress], how my adversaries [evildoers] have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
Psalm 3:2 Many [of these evildoers] are saying of my soul,
"There is no deliverance for him in God." [aka Fake News] Selah.

[PDW]
Psalm 3:3 ¶ But You, O Lord, are [But you, Yahweh,] a [F/R] shield about [surrounding / protecting] me, [metaphor for sp warfare] [in CA Indwelling presence]
My [source of] glory, [Divine Protection rationale]
and the One who lifts my head. [David has a positive MA]
[PDW]
Psalm 3:4 I was crying to the Lord [praying vigorously, publicly] with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah.
[PDW]
Psalm 3:5 I lay down and slept [RMA under pressure];
I awoke, for the Lord sustains me.
Psalm 3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me round about.

Psalm 3:7 ¶ [CMD – entreaty] Arise, O Lord [Yahweh]; [CMD - entreaty] save me, my God[s]!
For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
Psalm 3:8 Salvation [deliverance] belongs to the Lord! [Deliverance /victory is God’s domain]
Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah. [restore blessings to the client nation]

Motivation [Learn, Think, Motive, Act]

Lastly –we are a well taught congregation. My version of PMA is Learn, Think about… Motive (courage), Act

Principle
1. Thinking produces motivation. Motivation in life must be compatible with Bible Doctrine and the divine plan of grace.
2. One of the characteristics of the spiritual prosperity of the CWLiving is the compatibility of motivation with the Plan of God and the principle of God’s grace.
3. It is possible to do a right thing in a wrong way because the motivation is wrong.
a. Wrong motivation receives its impetus from lust of the old sin nature, mental attitude sins, sincere but wrong devotion to the principles of Satan’s delusions as to what constitutes a good Christian.
b. A right thing done in wrong motivation is wrong.
c. A right thing done in right motivation is right.

[^]
Summary –
So these are the passages: the CMDs, Promises and Instructions for the bel to have God’s perspective. God’s thinking, for you to apply experientially to your CWLiving.
You come to the conclusions of my opening with these verses.
Wickedness will be punished,
God delivers and protects the bels – even if they experience some hardship, in the end God delivers.
Changing the course of this country is for each generation to metanoia (met-an'-oy-ah) – come to a change of mind OR continue to mock God.

As believers, we need to keep on learning and applying BD. Claim promises; use all of your doctrinal knowledge to form conclusions. Keep to the principles of God’s will in any and all situations – 1 Tim 2:4 salvation then epignosis growth.
Then using all the doctrines you know apply to experience – Experiential Christianity.

Know and speak the truth and don’t get caught up in useless chatter.

I cant end without a reminder. How do you Trust God?
For us it starts with
Rebound when necessary
Learning the promises of God and diligently using the F/R Drill
Learning about God’s Essence, esp His +R and J which is motivated by His Love

When you utilize the F/R Drill, claiming promises, and then relaxing knowing that an all powerful, Omnipotent God will come through for you because HE promised it and you quote His promises back to Him, then you can achieve a RMA in any situation of life.

Recall the 7 characteristics of the CWLiving

2 Peter 1:1-11

2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours [bel in JC], by the integrity [+R + J] of our God [deity] and Savior [humanity], Jesus Christ:
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and [mental] prosperity [RMA] be multiplied to you by means of the [epignosis] knowledge of God/F and of Jesus our Lord;
2 Peter 1:3 [how? ->] seeing that His divine power [omnipotence] has graciously been given to us everything pertaining to this [natural] life [logistical grace support] and spiritual life [CWLiving], through the epignosis knowledge [metabolized BD applied experientially] of Him [JC] who called [common grace] us by His own glory and virtue.
2 Peter 1:4 For by these [doctrines] God/F has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises [BD], in order that by them [metabolized and applied BD] you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust [OSN lifestyle].
2 Peter 1:5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence [mental and physical strength], in your faith [by means of doctrine] apply] [1] virtue, and to your virtue, apply [2] [gnosis] knowledge, [all realms of BD]
2 Peter 1:6 and in your knowledge, apply [3] self-control [control your OSN & your decisions]; and in your self-control, apply [4] perseverance [patience with circumstances - hupomone], and in your perseverance, [5] live the spiritual life [CWLiving];
2 Peter 1:7 and in living the spiritual life, [6] apply love to members of the RFG, and in your love for members of the RFG, [7] apply virtue love [to all mankind].
2 Peter 1:8 For if these seven qualities are yours [i.e. keep on being present] and keep on increasing [we never arrive], they render you neither useless nor unfruitful [no hopeless situations] in the epignosis knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:9 For the Believer who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted [occupied with the cosmic system], having forgotten his purification from his former sins [salvation by grace through faith].
2 Peter 1:10 [CMD] Therefore, members of RFG, be all the more motivated [make every effort] to make certain [a spiritual reality] about His calling [common grace] and electing [Doc of Election] you; for as long as you practice these things [the virtues of living the spiritual life], you will no not never stumble [in the spiritual life];
2 Peter 1:11 for in this way [making your calling and election sure, practicing the CWL] the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you [conveyance of Escrow blessings].

That’s the CWLiving
That’s God’s solution to living
And doing these things, the 7 virtues of the sp life, is Experiential Christianity.
