…in these times, there are more and more wolves in sheeps’ clothing…. as the seven deadly sins get more prevalent and people become more desperate… there are more predators than ever before.
When ‘some’ people become more fearful, threatened, insecure, unhappy, frantic concerning what is happening in the world … they will turn on their fellowman, their friends, their families, even their children, anyone whom they ‘think’ that they can overpower to ‘try and help them to feel’ more powerful and ‘in control’ to ‘try and alleviate their feelings of helplessness and fear’.
When this kind of personality ‘feels out of control and full of insecurity’, they will ‘threaten’ to harm and actually will do harm to others to make themselves ‘feel’ temporarily in control…and ‘temporarily powerful.’
When they never were and aren’t in control, God is… but they are unable to ‘understand, or to really get’ this… even as they might try to ‘appear’ that they do.
The Seven Deadly Sins are….
PRIDE – excessive belief in one’s own abilities, that interferes with the individual’s recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. (just look at Obama)
ENVY – the desire for others’ traits, status, abilities, or situation. (look at Obama’s platform, it is based on envy)
GLUTTONY – an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. (observe all the obesity and consumption of material goods, the drug usage, prescription and otherwise, etc.)
LUST – an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. (the over-focus on sexuality, even in our youth, the objectifying or subjugation of the feminine, more rapes.)
ANGER – manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. (physical, emotional, and mental abuse of others is becoming more and more prevalent.)
GREED – the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. (the turning from God by many with focus being on the physical plane of how much they can acquire on earth)
SLOTH – the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. (Government dependence while people squander their gifts, drink, do drugs, etc. Many are turning away from God.)
People who have been overcome by these sins are dangerous to self and society… for they have lost their connection to all that is good, precious and Holy…They have lost their connection to self, to their soul and to God…
They threaten. They kill. They lie. They cheat. They lust. They rage. They envy. Their bodies are bloated and swollen as they try to stuff their pain and feelings of loss, hurt and anger, their minds corrupted, their agenda’s self-serving.
They are the opposite of everything that is good and Holy…
With the offer of help… they may do the opposite… They are the cons of the world and will take advantage of any and all opportunities to harm for their gain. Satan is the great deceiver…
When desperation sets in, a person’s true character is revealed and if they are on the side of sin, it can push them over the edge to evil.
Those who turn to God and the sweet, kind forgiveness and connection to their God nature, will not only help others, but will thrive in their being lead by the purity of their soul.
Luke 21:16
And ye shall be BETRAYED both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
