PSALM 44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a strange god;
PSALM 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
PSALM Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
These verses have laid heavy on my heart. Thinking of all that happened to Russell and his getting involved in this horrific lifestyle. He made the choice; through manipulation and brainwashing! He surrounded himself with evil people; stretching out his hands to a strange god.
You know Satan is always waiting on those who let their guards down. Russell was a Christian; but he let himself be persuaded to have “FUN”; he thought. It was not fun!!!!!
GENESIS 2:8 God grew a garden and formed man to take care of that garden. Genesis 2:17; GOD said, But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
GENESIS 2:22 God made woman. Genesis 3:4 Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat of the fruit of the tree God told them not to eat of. She ate of the fruit of the tree and gave it to Adam; and he ate. This is like the homosexuals tempt and manipulate!
This lifestyle is a really sad and evil production of what Satan is all about. I don’t care who says different! The movie stars promote it! The schools promote it! Some churches promote it! The media promote it! How sad; God has been tormented that his children can accept this evil! So many who call themselves Christians; and accept this lifestyle. I really feel sorry for them on judgement day.
Russell didn’t think there was a way out of this lifestyle; once he was indoctrinated into it. Let me tell you; JOHN 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Russell could have gotten out of this lifestyle that led to his death. If one can just see that God is a forgiving God; he can help if you believe. He doesn’t want you to live a life that is not pleasing to him. Russell did believe in God; and I know he is with God now. I know Russell grieved the HOLY SPIRIT inside of him; and perhaps that is why he had to pay for his sins.
Some believe that if you die while living in sin; you won’t go to Heaven. This is not what the Bible says! Russell did believe in God; but was led astray. When Russell accepted Jesus into his heart; he believed! JOHN 3:16! He then was a part of God’s family. God doesn’t kick you out of his family because of sin; except the unpardonable sin of blasphemy against Holy Ghost; this can’t be forgiven. The word “blasphemy” means to speak reproachfully and hurtfully against.
I believe God doesn’t forgive evil! Satan can be in someone; who hurts someone else. To me this is against the Holy Ghost!!!!
It was not God’s intention for Russell to perish, but have everlasting life. He could have had so many rewards in Heaven if he would not have succumbed to this horrific sin. If you don’t believe me; then you don’t believe what God says in JOHN 3:16-18.
JOHN 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
JOHN 3:18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
I believe the people who helped him into this lifestyle; are responsible for his death. God knows the secrets of the heart! He knows everything! He knows the evil ones, and there is a place he has for them to go.
This post is from my heart. I have prayed for God to give me the words to write, that may help someone get out of this lifestyle; before it is too late. Don’t listen to Satan; listen to God!!!!!
