The the lord God has taught me things in life.

Sometimes as a parent when we invest time, effort, money and such into a child, we grow to love them. Sometimes that love can lead to giving a child too much of what they want. And perhaps then we see the child error in behavior that leads us to restrain gifts. But love always prevails and is a wonderful gift from God.

Leaders perhaps can also do things like that in societies.

And those that invest in works of evil can grow to love that instead.

Psalms 52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

On the mountain of God the light of Christ shines above it. Calling us from all walks of life to him our loving and guiding savior.

Beyond the mountain perhaps are them who wonder off, and some to gather lost sheep or the wayward children. And perhap also them that have grown to love evil. We should pray for all and forgive all and start each day a new child in Christ spiritually. Dangers exist off the mountain.

There have been good and wicked rulers in history, we should pray for our leaders as well as many of us already know.

Definition of Enable: give (someone or something) the authority or means to do something.

We are all enabled with freedom of choice from our Lord God. Some are disabled in life in various forms. Food, money. Gifts from God and abilities. Physical disabilities are not pleasant, nor are mental, emtional ones either. We should be kind and serve God and his loving family, invest time and effort and grow to love them.

I pray and know that God is certainly able to save those that desire him and his works, which is the salvation of the body and spirits of his creations and children.

The Holy Spirit testified to me that Satan can do no good, and God can do no evil. That was some years ago.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


"mammon, biblical term for riches, often used to describe the debasing influence of material wealth. The term was used by Jesus in his famous Sermon on the Mount and also appears in The Gospel According to Luke. Medieval writers commonly interpreted it as an evil demon or god. Since the 16th century, mammon has been used to negatively describe the pursuit of wealth and has been used in both religious and secular contexts."

Money can be used for good or evil and mammon relates probably to things used for evil. Satan does have a master and that is death as a deceptive murderer. I'm not sure mammon relates to a being so much as death and beyond that hell. A being that is dead decays as naturally into the dust. And Gods word of creation returns not void. I pray in the end that we all know who our lord and saviour is, Jesus the Christ. Jesus knows his sheep.

Thank You,

Mind control is the art of psychologic warfare and control. Control does not end with the mind, there are hearts and bodies that can also be controlled as well as spirits.

God guides and leads us with a loving graceful kind hand. Israel was lead out of captivity with a mighty hand in Moses' time.

I long for the day of Jesus' return. As do many of us.

Some things are forbidden such as mind control. A good officer of the law may have to control someone that breaks God's commandments away from those thay are afflicting. God is almighty and knows how to do that to spare spots in the feasts of charity among his children. Some seek to spoil God's fold of children. Patience in long suffering is one of the fruits of the spirit. I pray those that seek evil against God and his family are turned towards God instead of mammon.

Control perhaps can be addicting. I hope no one is emotionally compromised in controlling others.

Freedom of choice is against control. And some must pray for freedom from those that seek to control them if they desire good from God.

See also slaves to sin (is that mommon?)
