A love-hate relationship...

The last few days have been really painful and difficult for me. A large amount of anger has been coming up towards various people, things etc. - I've been asking God, where it was all coming from.

The answer I got surprised me: "The cause of your bitterness towards Me is worldly thinking and love of worldly systems."

James 4:4-5 "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend with the world becomes an enemy of God."

How does the worldly system of thinking work?

1.) Those who are the most talented, the most beautiful, the most intellectually gifted, the strongest, the fasted, that have special "gifts", have the most wealth, political power, and the most charismatic, are the most important people (VIP's or 'very important people'). Everyone else is just common.

2.) The criteria is corporately as humanity, we value those we can gain the most from. Meanwhile, everyone else is irrelevent. As long as we can gain from these "special people", they are valuable.

3.) When we can no longer corporately gain happiness or something else from them, we will dispose of them and find someone else to please us.

4.) For those in power: "I WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH to stay in power, wealth, and honor (If there is a way for me to stay in power, honor, wealth). The moral laws of humanity no longer apply to me because staying at the top is the most important (even if it means breaking the rules)." This includes a willingness to consult with illegal spiritual activity (occult, demonic, religious activity) if I can get an advantage.

5. For those without power: "I will fight my way to the top (or survive) at others expense if need be." This includes a willingness to consult with illegal spiritual activity (religious activity, occult, demonic)if I can get an advantage. This also includes a willingness to trample or change the righteousness standards to go forward!

Unfortunately, this system of thinking has infiltrated the Body of Christ. We put those who are the most charismatic leaders, supernaturally gifted, and naturally talented on platforms (and give them much money, honor, political power and influence) while not appreciating others like this who are not on the platform. Then we wonder why people on platforms fall into scandelous sin.

This is the worldly way of thinking that justifies:
1.) Billions of people in grinding poverty or under oppressive governments (or both).
2.) The Genocide in Darfur.
3.) The ruling Junta Generals who have closed Myanmar off from others who wish to help because they are afraid they may lose their ability to oppress others.
4.) Kim Jung Il's mistreatment of millions in North Korea.
5.) A Hindu Caste system in India that treats hundreds of millions of people like trash.
6.) Even for "the winners" of this worldly system, emptiness and pain as reported from the testimony of a friend ministering in Hollywood.
7.) Hostility to the Gospel of the Kingdom in Jesus Christ all over the earth putting billions at risk of perishing in the fires of hell forever?

Why is there still ANY love in me for a system of thinking that justifies stuff like this?

"GOD HELP!"
