THE END OF THE REPUBLIC

 

I have been doing a lot reading on line and watching TV News reports about the current war with Iran.  Conservative media outlets are reporting very optimistically while the main stream media pessimistically about the war.  The truth lies somewhere in between these reports.  President Trump said that Irans navy has been destroyed when apparently it has not, he said after the previous operation midnight hammer that Irans ability to make a nuclear weapon was ended when apparently it was not.  The efforts by the left to end the war met with failure and was only done as a political stunt because to end a war after it has already begun is a stupid thing to do.  I see the leftist democrats putting their party ahead of the nation in their lust for power.

  We have witnessed many of their actions along this line to be anti American and out of step with the majority of Americans.  An example of this is the legislation to require voter ID.  According to public opinion 80% are in favor of voter ID but the democrats are against it.  I saw a recent poll where 38% of the public wants to have a socialist government and do away with the republic.  That’s more than a third of the public wants to have a form of government that historically has been proven to be a failure. 

 The voting public is growing more ignorant and unable to make wise choices and this is a serious threat to the survival of the American representative republic.  About half of voters do not understand our history and the issues we face.  An ignorant voter is a fool and a danger to the nation.  The nation also faces voter fraud and illegals voting as the chief tools used by the democrats to gain power and control at the expense of the republic.  The congress and Supreme Court have been infiltrated by people with this mindset.  If these types ever regain power it will be the end of the republic.

While I am apolitical and my citizenship is registered in heaven and not on earth, as I sojourn in the U.S. as an ambassador of the kingdom of GOD, I have desired to live in peace and safety among the unconverted.  To see what is transpiring now is in one way disturbing but in another encouraging. Disturbing because this nation is where I sojourn and I do not want the chaos I see but this encourages me because these are the very circumstances and conditions that are to exist in the world prior to the return of Jesus Christ.  

BAPTIZED INTO SATAN

You and I do not make the rules with respect to baptism, GOD and Christ do.  Mark 16:16  Matthew 24:19 (do not include the FATHER and the Holy Spirit)  Acts 2:38 1 Peter 3:21  John 4:5  Acts 16:31-33  Galatians 3:26-27  Colossians 2:12  Titus 3:5  Acts 8:36-39  Acts 19:5   

People that teach baptism is no longer required are liars, it’s plain throughout scripture that baptism was the common practice even if a person had the Spirit before being baptized. Acts 10:47   When you are called out of a deception this is GOD calling you, many are called, but you must answer the call and this results in being chosen. Not many are chosen.

 For anyone who was a former member of some church organization that practices baptism I would ask why did you submit to that baptism ?  If you did not believe the teachings of the church that baptized you why would you submit to their baptism ?  If you have come to see that what this organization taught was false and a lie then were you not baptized into falsehoods and lies ?  Yes, you were, and that baptism was meaningless and worthless.  In reality you were baptized into Satans church but perhaps you did not fully grasp this and yet confuse your current new understanding with the false baptism you had.  

About 41 years ago I was baptized by full immersion in water by the Worldwide Church of God.  I believed the false teachings of this church being in full agreement with them and their teachings and I submitted myself to their baptism as a result. 

 About ten years later I came to realize by divine revelation from GOD through Jesus Christ that I was deceived and that the baptism into the WCG was into Satan and not into Christ.  I did not think that my new understanding was a result of Satans baptism but understood that it had nothing to do with that Satanic baptism.  If any of you readers have had a similar experience to mine then you were also baptized into Satan as I was and your new understanding by the spirit led you out of that deception to a new realization that YOU need to be baptized into Jesus Christ.

  Even the Jews of the first century on the day of Pentecost who were in the cult of Judaism were told by Peter that they needed baptized in Christ.  Gentiles formerly involved in paganism were told the same thing. 

 I don’t care what church cult you were in, YOU, once called out of it, must then be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, why, for the forgiveness of all your past sins to prepare you for the giving of the Holy Spirit.  Even Cornelius the gentile who first received the spirit before baptism was still baptized.

  “Those who have believed and are baptized shall be saved while others are condemned.”  Mark 16:16

 Baptism is a watery grave that symbolizes the death of our old self so that when we come up out of the water we are living sacrifices, baptism symbolizes the death and resurrection of Jesus. We who have been baptized into Jesus have put on Jesus and we are empowered to walk in newness of life by the spirit of the FATHER working in us to will and to do HIS good pleasure.  We are symbolically dead.

I know for certain that whatever baptism you had in any of Satans churches meant absolutely nothing.  Just as I was deceived when I joined the WCG so were you.  People who cannot see this are in denial of what they have experienced.  You cannot belong to a synagogue of Satan and the true church of the living GOD at the same time. You need to ask yourself some very serious questions and be honest in your answers.  If you still believe your baptism into Satans organization was valid then why are you not still there, why did you leave ?  Others say it is a matter of personal choice but how can that be if Jesus Christ commanded baptism. 

Not long ago I joined an online Christian forum called “Simply Christian” and I knew full well that the chances of finding another true Christian on this forum were slim to none.  I posted an article about baptism on the forum that explained the same things as this article does and it was as I expected, met with ridicule, disbelief, sarcasm and in some cases outright blasphemy.  This was the typical response I received from just about every article I posted on the forum.   This is to be expected but the goal is for us all to be of the same mind on all things.   This is not bashing anyone but being realistic about how spiritual growth and maturity works.  

We all need each other but the strong are to bear the weak as Paul explained.  This is spiritually natural, it’s how the spirit works. I do not write these words to offend anyone but to edify the brethren. Whatever it is that any of us is spiritually,  it is from GOD and not from us, therefore if any are more spiritual than another it is from GOD not from us.  In this way none of us can boast.

I have written about baptism in other articles on this blog that includes information not covered in this article that you need to read.  If anyone has come out of any of the Satanic churches of this world because GOD is calling and choosing you then you need to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.  

If you understood what I have written here but are unsure of what to do then go to GOD and ask for help.

IMPLIED POWER OF THE SUPREME COURT

 

The authority of the Supreme Court that extends beyond the explicitly listed powers of the constitution is implied powers. 

The implied powers are an assumption based upon what the court believes are reasonable, assumed and necessary to carry out what the constitution says.

The Supreme Court has overturned its own past constitutional precedents about 236 times since 1789, about 1% of its rulings. 

Some Examples of the court overturning its own rulings are:

Brown v Board of Education 

Robb’s v Jackson Women’s Health Organization 

Plessy v Ferguson 

Roe v Wade

Bowers v Hardwick

Abode v Detroit Board of Education 

Chevron USA Inc v Natural Resources Defense Council 

Miners School District v Gobitis 

There are over 200 more examples of the Supreme Court reversing its decisions but in each one there was always some collateral damage.  Even in such a small number of reversals is sufficient proof that human courts are far from perfect.  

In the examples of Roe vWade and Plessy v Ferguson many people born and unborn were innocent victims of a previous bad ruling.  

Today with the rise of Communism and Socialism the Communist Control Act, if attempted to be enforced, would be struck down by the court for violating first and fifth amendments. It is extremely ironic and moronic for the court to strike down the CCA, an act that prevents their own destruction by using the very constitution the Communists want to destroy. Does anyone believe that the founders of the nation would permit an anti constitutional political movement like communism and socialism, that has the goal of abolishing the constitution, to exist in the nation ?  Is that line of thought reasonable , assumed or necessary ?  It is apparent that the court either doesn’t recognize the threat of these communists or they are bound to the idea of implied powers thinking it is reasonable, assumed and necessary to allow communists to hold federal, state and local government offices.  

My father called people of this mindset educated idiots that can’t see the forest for the trees.  The Supreme Court is so tangled up in its thinking that it will rule in favor for a political ideology that would abolish them.  

Implied powers have the danger of making law from the bench but making law is the purview of congress not the court.  I have in other articles shown the illogical thinking of the justices in things like immigration, abortion, racism and the separation of powers.  

The practice of implied powers needs to be abolished and if there is any doubt as to what the founders prescribed for the nation in the constitution the Supreme Court must remain neutral and turn the matter over to congress to make or amend laws.

It is mind numbing to think that 9 unelected people can make decisions that effect us all.

THE GUARDIAN THAT LEADS US TO CHRIST GALATIANS 3:24-25

 

Many people are convinced that they must keep the Ten Commandments as given in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.  Well, when a person is a Christian the law written on those tables of stone no longer applies.  Jesus gave us a “New Covenant” and for us, who are Christians, made the old covenant, which is the Ten Commandments, obsolete, non applicable. Christians under grace experience a change in their human nature to partake of the divine nature of GOD and Christ.  This is a spiritual change of receiving GODS love into our human spirit.  Romans 5:5  2 Peter 1:4   The prophets say it this way, “I will write my law on their hearts”, which is describing this partaking of the divine nature. 

Scripture positivity identifies the Ten Commandments are the old covenant.  We’re they not kept in a box called the ark of the covenant ? 

 A person who places themselves under the old covenant is responsible to keep all of the law by their own effort and without GOD.  This old covenant, these Ten Commandments, cannot be added to or taken from so a new covenant was necessary.  Everyone who places themselves under the Ten Commandments is guilty of sin and sentenced to death.  No one has ever been able to keep the Ten Commandments.  Anyone who thinks they do is either self deceived or a liar.  The Devil wants people to think they must keep the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, because there is no salvation in the law, the old covenant, the Ten Commandments. 

GRACE in Christ is what produces salvation.  Under the new covenant Christians have the Holy Spirit and a very special and powerful love, GODS love that will fulfill any law, will do no harm to anyone and therefore will fulfill what the Ten Commandments demanded of us that we could no do because we didn’t have GODS love under the Ten Commandments. 

 Scripture says “love is the fulfillment of the law.”  Romans 13:10 

The law was given by GOD to condemn the entire world of sin. 

 Romans 3:19 “Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and THE WHOLE WORLD HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.” 

“The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of GOD.”  1 Corinthians 6:9 

Righteousness does not come by the law, keeping the Ten Commandments, else Jesus died for nothing. Galatians 2:21

So then, keeping the Ten Commandments, the old covenant, will not provide us with the righteousness needed to be in GODS kingdom, and they cannot be fulfilled unless you have the Holy Spirit that imparts GODS love, then why try keeping them ?

Grace and faith , the new covenant, imputes GODS righteousness to us because we have faith to believe the gospel.  It is GODS righteousness by faith along with the sacrifice of Christ that is paramount to escape the condemnation of the Ten Commandments.  Christians fulfill the Ten Commandments by GODS love working in us to love GOD and our neighbor.  Christians have no works of their own because we know salvation is not by works.  The following scripture says this plainly.

Philippians 2:13 “For it is GOD who works in you both to will and to do HIS good pleasure.”

I hope all my readers can now see that while the Ten Commandments are indeed holy, just and good that the keeping of them will not provide you with salvation.  We are not saved (have salvation) by the law or works of the law, the Ten Commandments.  We are saved by grace through faith.  For what the law could not do GOD did by giving us HIS son, Jesus Christ. 

JUDAS ISCARIOT

What was the fate of Judas Iscariot ?  The majority of false Christianity says Judas is burning in hell and some think Judas committed the unpardonable sin.

To commit the unpardonable sin a person must have the Holy Spirit. 

 Hebrews 10:26-29 “If we willfully go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth no further sacrifice remains but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume all adversaries.  Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the son of GOD, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him and insulted the spirit of grace.”

Now the Apostles all thought Jesus would return in their lifetimes so then if the one who committed the unpardonable sin would be alive he would be cast into the lake of fire along with the beast and false prophet.  Since the second advent has not yet happened the people who commit the unpardonable sin in this age have no more sacrifice for sin and have lost all the benefits provided by Christ. These people will not be resurrected and their human spirits that went back to GOD at death will be cast into the lake of fire at the great white throne judgment.

The fact is Judas never had the Holy Spirit because the spirit was not given until Pentecost.  Many people have had the Holy Spirit “work with them” but not yet in them and this is the time they are called. 

John 14:17  “The spirit of truth. The world cannot accept it because it neither sees or knows it.  But you know it for it lives with you and will be in you.”

While the Spirit lives with you, you are being called, then when the spirit is in you, you have been chosen.

This meshes well with the parable of the sower where the spirit is symbolized by seed being sown.  The seed fell on the ground but the birds came and ate it, some seed fell on rocky ground with little soil and when it grew the sun scorched them and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns which choked the seedlings. Some fell on good soil and produced a crop; a hundred fold, sixty fold and thirty fold.” Matthew 13:3-9

All but the seed that fell under bad conditions were called but not chosen, only the seed on the good soil was chosen.

Judas could no longer live with himself when he realized what he had done and hanged himself.  Judas will be in the second resurrection and have his opportunity to repent and he will have the Holy Spirit in him. 

 GOD knew in eternity that Judas, by his own free will and greed, would betray Jesus and when the time came used Judas for that purpose.  This is the same reason why GOD allows Satan to exist and uses Satan as a tool in HIS plan.  For humanity to choose between good and evil both choices must be presented.  

Judas Iscariot will have his opportunity and so will all people who have not committed the sin that will not be forgiven. 

HOW THE APOSTLES DEALT WITH HERESIES

 

How did the Apostles deal with heresies in the church ?  A heresy is a belief or teaching that goes against the doctrines of GOD, Christ, the prophets and the Apostles.

The Apostles were not concerned with controlling the people in the church but rather preserving the truth of the gospel.  There was a rising threat to the gospel in the first century. The Apostles show this fact in their letters to the churches and to church ministry at that time.  Persecution against the church was coming from Rome and the Jews.  There was the Judaizing heresy, the Gnostic heresy, the Docetism heresy, the Trinity heresy, those teaching the resurrection had already occurred, those given over to an assortment of sins, the ignorance concerning the resurrection, the focus placed on the men who baptized rather than on GOD and Christ and many more.  Today these and other heresies are what make up modern day Christianity.  Paul spoke fervently in his condemnation of heresies in Galatians, 

2 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, 

2 Timothy, Romans and Titus. Peter warned about false teachers as did James and John. This was the first thing Jesus warned about in his Olivet discourse, “Take heed that no one deceives you.” Matthew 24:4

 Does GOD hate lies ?  Proverbs 12:22  Proverbs 6:16-19   Revelation 21:8  Yes HE does. 

 A lie from someone who has not been given the Holy Spirit is vastly different from a person who is thought to have the Holy Spirit.  A lie from someone Usually happens with a babe in Christ because mature elect saints have been in Christ longer and have been taught more.  Paul was not one to take it easy on people in the church who committed heresy.  I do not think the other Apostles did either.  A lie, a heresy, must be confronted head on otherwise it will not be solved and as Paul,said, “it will spread like a cancer.” 2 Timothy 2:17

 Trying to be gentle in combat usually gets you killed, so will not vigorously combating lies and heresies.  Go and read in Galatians or Corinthians how angry Paul was and the warnings of punishing the offenders saying “I will not spare”. 2 Corinthians 13:2

  Today the church has no Apostles or ministry because GOD eliminated them all.  The problem of lies and heresies are dealt with by GOD and Christ, not the elect.  Only GOD can put you in HIS church and only GOD can remove your from HIS church.  GOD will blot out the names of liars and heretics from the book of life.   I am not an Apostle, I am a new covenant prophet because I am taught by GOD through Jesus Christ by divine revelation. All of GODS elect saints today are taught in this way. GODS spirit bears witness with our human spirit that the elect saints are GODS children. Do a search of the scriptures about how a person comes to know and understand spiritual truth.  You will find there is only one way and that is for GOD to teach you. 

John 6:44-45 “everyone who has learned from the FATHER must come to me.” 

If this happens then your beliefs, your faith and knowledge is sure and true. You, unlike the world’s churches, were taught by GOD and not men. There can be no comparing these two things because neither has anything to do with the other.

  I have been described by some as wanting my own way, of being vindictive and overbearing when it comes to defending the truth of GOD.

  How do you think Jesus, Paul, Peter, James or John would react to a lying situation ?  Oh, they wouldn’t want to offend him, they would have to understand him better, they must show constraint and compassion, REALLY !!!  Then you do need to go back and read again just what would happen to someone who attempts to bring a lie into the church. 

 When Jesus rules in the kingdom of GOD he will do so with a rod of iron, not a wet noodle. If a person  has a problem with understanding a doctrine then they should in a loving and humble attitude express their concerns to the other mature brethren and in like manner the mature brethren give an answer, but the answer should not be interrupted by objections and attempts to prove a lie.

  This is part of the discerning of spirits in 1 John 4:1-6  A person must hear the mature saints not argue with them.  If they can’t understand the mature saints then they are not of GOD.

 1 John 4:6 “We are from GOD. Whoever knows GOD listens to us; whoever is not from GOD does not listen to us. That is how we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.”

OH, that’s being really to hard on this person, who do you think your are, this isn’t the gospel of Lee, this isn’t the church of Lee.  Do you know how many times I have heard that, too many, and each time I get really angry.  When all else fails to support their lie they resort to assassinating my character.  This is also a Satanic device.  

In 1 Corinthians 14:29-33. Paul explains how a church meeting should operate.  First, all those present are prophets, note women are not excluded, Paul says “for you all can prophesy in turn”.  Now as the prophets speak, if something is revealed to someone the first speaker should stop and all should hear that one out and determine if the prophesy is from GOD or not.  This is further verified in 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21  1 John 4:1   This is how things are supposed to work in the church and it will play out almost precisely as Paul outlined in the scriptures.  

The resurrection is part of the core of the gospel.  That after having lived our lives being under GODS workmanship by surrendering ourselves to HIM, then even if we die we in faith believe that we will be raised, resurrected as spirit beings , from the dead, made alive and conscious again at the return of Jesus Christ.  The lie of immediate life after death destroys the message of the gospel.  To believe that even the willful sinners of Noah’s day have immediate life after death in some spiritual prison gives what is a gift of GOD to the saints only to willful sinners.  To confuse the prayers of saints, given before they were martyred, which are like incense to GOD, and to think the hearing of those prayers are the actual living people who prayed them is heresy. To believe that the transfiguration was literal rather than a vision is heresy.  To believe the parable of Lazarus and the rich man is literal is heresy.  To think Jesus did not die but somehow survived death and was yet alive is heresy.  To think that GOD periodically changes doctrine to allow for favoritism of some over others is heresy. To think that Jesus didn’t have a human spirit is heresy. The death Jesus saves us from is the second death not the first unto which all are appointed. Therefore when we die we are disembodied unconscious spirits awaiting a resurrection from the dead at the return of Jesus Christ.  This is the truth of the gospel, the hope, the promise, the faith and anything else is a lie.

AN INTERVIEW WITH LUCIFER

 

 

 

An Interview with Lucifer

Feb 27  Preston Gillham: Additional comments by Lee

  Last week I had the opportunity to interview the devil, Lucifer. He is also known as, Satan, Day Star, and king of Babylon. Here, in three parts, is a transcription of our conversation.

 Good evening, sir. I’m speaking with Lucifer from his branch headquarters close to downtown Fort Worth. He was kind to grant me access without restriction and gave permission to reproduce in full an unedited transcript of our conversation. Thank you for your generosity, sir.  Lucifer is currently king of this world and is seeking the office of GOD MOST HIGH.   He has been from the beginning of time a liar, deceiver, tempter, and accuser without parallel. It is generally agreed that he is the most handsome, beautiful creature ever created by GOD. By way of his charismatic personality, administrative prowess, and creative genius he has built an empire of great historical and worldwide influence founded under the title Hell, Inc. He now serves as the company’s President and Chairman with offices and viable concerns worldwide. 

 Q          Lucifer, thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to visit with me. I don’t suppose there is anyone more qualified to discuss the topic of deceit and deception than you are. But before we begin our discussion of that topic, how did you get into this field?

A           Actually, it began as a limited vision on my part, but has escalated far beyond my wildest dreams. I began a small rebellion in heaven after I discovered that GOD was planning to make a human HIS heir.    As you noted, He holds the position I’m trying to usurp. When He got wind of my rebellion He removed me from my position as archangel and forced me to leave heaven along with all those sympathizing with my cause. I had no idea so many would follow my lead, but 33% joined in my rebellion.

Q          You mentioned your desire to attain the position and title of The most high GOD. Is that your fundamental goal?

A     My goal and primary aim, the cause of which I have dictated to my underlings, is this: To undermine the Kingdom of God and place myself in the supreme position in the universe. This will be done through intrigue and deceit of mankind, God’s highest creation.

Q     Why do you see mankind as your means to this exalted title? It would seem you’d war against God Himself.

A           No, no. God is much too strong and self-assured. Besides, hostile takeovers are out of fashion. We must resort to subterfuge of a more devious nature. His area of vulnerability lies within the heart of mankind. For whatever reason—He says its love—He put all of His relational hopes in one being and called it man. Stupidly, He gave man the freedom to choose between loving and serving Him or me. And amazingly, He has invested His kingdom in man’s decision. This is God’s “soft underbelly,” to quote one of your great men, Winston Churchill. This vulnerability is my target.

Q          Lucifer, while you are apparently enjoying great progress toward achieving your goal, there is still opposition to you and your schemes. God has invested His people with tremendous power—the keys to the Kingdom, He calls it. I would assume, therefore, that the plan for gaining your sought-after title is complex to say the least?

A     Well, one might think so, but this is not the case by and large. Complex plans require a bureaucracy, extensive training programs, and the like. We make every effort to employ the simplest approach possible, or as God’s people call it, the simplest attack possible. Astutely manipulated, this is the heart and soul of deceit and deception. There are times when we go to…

Q          Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt you, but I find your last point rather phenomenal. If it wouldn’t be a breach of security, could you discuss in more detail what you mean when you say, employ the simplest attack possible?

A           Oh, certainly. And there’s no breach of security. Besides being as plain as the nose on your face, we have no standard practices that aren’t recorded throughout the annals of history, literally by the volume, not to mention the world’s all-time best seller, the Bible. I digress, but did you know that book has sold in excess of five billion copies and I have managed to corrupt it as well.  Anyway, even the most advanced management and marketing theories strive for simplicity in their product development. We are no different. While we do have stratagems calling for direct frontal assaults, such as wars, murder, theft, adultery, idol worship and XXX rated movie theaters to tempt the sensual needs, most of our negotiation—that is, temptation—is directed at the simple, mundane areas of life. Granted, it is great to have a big win by enticing a strong Christian into a porn house while he’s away from home on business. But, we have far more success with a simpler approach: compromised values while watching HBO; self-justification for a “small” impropriety; a novel with indiscretions that stick in the mind, etc. Ultimately, these pay off far more lucratively than a large, complex assault. This methodology has been implemented into every conceivable area of life. Porn and lust is but one example. Even though I am being candid about our tactical philosophy, our organization is in no danger of losing our market share. Such simplicity is too absurd for the logic of man. He considers himself just a bit too brilliant to be duped by an elementary approach like we employ. He rationalizes to himself, with some influence from my group, that to fall as he does to temptation must mean he is being assaulted by a force more complex than his mind can conceive. Thus, he finds that he…

Q         Pardon me for interrupting again, but I feel I am on the verge of understanding the genius of Hell, Inc. and your operational plan. Can you give some additional strategy to illustrate your point?

A           Sure. In fact, to demonstrate the ingenuity of our plan let me review the three primary strategies Hell, Inc. has developed. In our academy all of my associates become absolutely, unflinchingly proficient in three skills: Impersonation, Character Assassination, and Scripture Quotation. These are referred to as “ICS.” We really don’t worry much about those of mankind who are already ours. Because of the Great Coup, what my nemesis calls, the Fall, the inherent sinful nature of those who are mine accepts just about whatever suggestion we propose. It is the Christian with whom we are most concerned.

Q          Why is that?

A           Because they belong to Jesus the Christ. If they can be influenced to live in hypocrisy and disregard for their salvation, then Christ’s kingdom is weakened and my desired position is a bit closer. They are, as I said earlier, God’s “soft underbelly”—mere pawns in my quest for God’s title.

Q     Thank you for elaborating. Now you were saying something about ICS?

A          Yes, right. Impersonation, or the “I,” is simply to deceive the Believer in Jesus Christ regarding who his true enemy is. Even though the sinful propensity for independence was crucified and buried with Christ at Calvary, we see no reason not to impersonate that old nature for our purposes of deception. This way all, or should I say the vast majority, of our marketing efforts—temptations, if you prefer—seem like the Christian’s idea. Impersonation is quite effective. They become introspective and subject to self-condemnation, searching for the cause of their failure while expending great spiritual effort to deal with the hideous “self.” Never mind that their old self was dealt a fatal blow in Christ. Given the approach I’m describing, they think they are generating temptation. All the while it’s us! It is very amusing and quite rewarding actually. This strategy alone has done more for the net profit at Hell, Inc. than any other tactic or product. And of course, once the Christian accepts our impersonation as being his own idea, he’s extremely vulnerable because he has officially sinned.

Q          That is insidious!

A           Isn’t it? I love it! It’s one of our finest implements.

Q          And the second strategy, the “C”?

A          Yes. This is also a remarkable approach. Its versatility makes it cunningly effective. While we do use Character Assassination on Believers—you know, I hate calling them God’s children, the whole hereditary link, and so forth. But, I digressed again, didn’t I? Our principal execution of strategy C is accusation of God to the Believer. This is subtle most of the time, creating a nagging hesitation about His character or motive. It is precisely the same tack I took when I birthed the Great Rebellion and founded Hell, Inc. If you think about it, you hear and read our statements everywhere. In fact, strategy C is proliferating exponentially due to increased stress in mankind’s society. Thanks to strategy C, God is blamed for just about everything man finds discomforting. It is only natural for man to question during stressful times. But to ask the right question, that is the key. The wrong query leads only to equally wrong, and sometimes more troubling, answers. For example, it is common to hear, “Why didn’t God answer my prayers?” when the divorce papers arrive. “Doesn’t He care about how hard I try to please Him?” when bankruptcy has to be filed. “Why me when sickness sets in two days after vacation begins?” and the implication is that God caused the illness, or at least, didn’t prevent it. There are any number of these questions—and they all indite God. I devised each through strategy C and my people deploy them through strategy I. It all seems and feels to humans very natural and innocuous. But with perseverance, the payoff is significant: the adulteration of God’s character. Even though the Bible strictly prohibits the concocted belief that God can instigate evil and wrongdoing, it leaves Him vulnerable to Character Assassination through  His attributes of control and being all-powerful. Simply stated, if He knows all, and controls all, and can do anything, it leaves His subjects precariously receptive to my question: “Why doesn’t He…?” whatever. Fill in the blank. At this time, the church and its theology, and the world and its philosophy, have pretty well adopted the ridiculous notions of God being at fault, man’s vassalage to His whims, and Hell, Inc.’s relative remoteness. If my organization and I are distant, or better yet, imaginary, then we are not responsible. We don’t have anything to do with what man deems unpleasant, unfortunate, or wrong. By clear implication then, God is to blame. And this is the way I want it, for now anyway.

Q     So by questioning God’s character to His children, or Believers, you hope to wear them down, making them vulnerable to receiving your accusations and becoming embittered toward Him.

A           Embittered would be wonderful, but actually if they only sink to a moderate level of doubt and declare a small degree of independence, for the sake of self-preservation, then strategy C has been successful. Christians living independently from God is our goal. When this is adequately achieved, I will usurp my sought-after title.

Q         The final strategy of “ICS” is Scripture Quotation. I recall that you employed this technique on Jesus Christ when He was a human.  Am I to assume that you utilize Scripture today as you used it with Him?

A          Absolutely. In many cases Christians today are no better off with the New Testament than they were without it in Jesus’ day. I mean, they may have it, but unless they know what’s in it they won’t derive any benefit from it. Many of them only know what they’ve been taught or heard by false ministers that I set up. I love these folks. They don’t know a lie from the truth, and by the time they figure out that they are deceived, it’s too late. Often, when folks like this find themselves in a hopeless situation, we suggest that if they demonstrate enough faith in God, then God will be obliged to do what they want Him to do. At strategic moments in their temptation, we quote verses from the Bible. One of my favorites is Matthew 17:20. Jesus’ disciples asked Him why they couldn’t cast out a demon. For the record, one of my employees. He said, “Because of the littleness of your faith.” He goes on to say, “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for you.” Isn’t that great? What an exercise in frustration!

Q          But, sir. With all due respect, that’s not what the context of that passage says.

A          I know, but that’s not the point. Trying to make God do something by believing hard enough is the point. Of course it’s a deception, but that’s what we do. The biblical ignorance of these folks compromises them. When they start trying to figure out how they got fouled up, with a little guidance from my staff, they realize they are disillusioned about God because He didn’t honor the Scripture they quoted. Who cares if that’s not what He meant? I sure don’t. But in all honesty, let me say this: When Believers mature in their walk with God to where they manage Scripture accurately and with respect, Hell, Inc. is in trouble. So, we are vigilant. Always. God said His Word is sharper than a double-edged sword, and He is correct. For heaven’s sake, that’s why I utilize it so often? But with ICS as a methodological strategy, even though the Bible is sharp and active, deceived Believers are dull. Judging from what I see around me, I believe my chances for success are strong.

Q          Lucifer, you are certainly wise and have devised an insidiously simple and deceptively attractive program. I regret that we are out of time. I appreciate you granting me this plain spoken interview.

A           It has been my pleasure. It is our vision that Hell, Inc. that I will rule the world one day from God’s throne. The more public relation stunts I can perform, the better. Before we close, I’ll challenge you to watch and observe. Even with my game plan in hand, Believers will look for me in the shadows, but never at home, in their car, while on break, and certainly not at church. They will be my puppets. The sniveling pawns are my conduit to God’s throne. You watch and see!

Thank you again, sir.

 I had the opportunity to visit with Lucifer at his regional headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. If you would like to know more about him and his initiatives, there are multiple passages devoted to him from the Bible.  In addition, he and the Spirit of God are engaged in ongoing hostilities over the allegiance of humankind. Lucifer seems confident he will win but I think he has underestimated GOD.
