Lenses Of Ideology

|
| The reason why I understand the Russian obsession, have you guys ever thought about this? | |
| I'm so suspicious of the radical left and the establishment right. | |
| I mean, I'm talking about establishment Republicans annoy me just as much as the Marxist left masquerading as centrist Democrats. | |
| But the thing that I'm really thinking about is what is it about this malignancy that cannot, it's almost as though once you come under, but I'm thinking about it, we ought to know this as Christians. | |
| If you have hate in your heart towards someone as a Christian, and you let that hate continue to eat you up, it will begin to affect your thinking. | |
| And then you open yourself up to spirits because spirits of anger, resentment, jealousy, revenge, and before you know it, you're not thinking your own thoughts. | |
| You think you're thinking. | |
| You're actually plugged into a thought that's got you. | |
| Now, this is what happens when you have ideologic possession. | |
| It can happen on both sides. | |
| Christians ought to not just regurgitate whatever they say. | |
| You should know the word and you should thread it through your own belief system. | |
| So when the pressure's on, it's your belief system, not something you were told. | |
| But when people are ideologically programmed, they can open themselves up to cult-like spirits. | |
| They accuse us of being a cult. | |
| The reality is, the reason we're not a cult is because the Holy Spirit on the inside of us and the Word of God are the ultimate truth that we have to submit to. | |
| But Jim, there's that spirit of Leviathan. | |
| Remember, it has multiple heads, it's described. | |
| It is talking through multiple heads of people that actually are deranged in their thinking. | |
| They cannot see. | |
| What happens is you start to, everything that happens, you interpret through a filter. | |
| So that Leviathan spirit, have you ever had someone in your life that no matter what you do, they're going to be your enemy? | |
| And it's a weird thing. | |
| If you thought about giving them a gift, they'd say they're manipulating. | |
| If you thought about apologizing, they'd say they'd done that before. | |
| They're not sincere. | |
| They're always after something. | |
| In other words, if you've actually got that kind of a spirit working on you, it's like lenses are on everything you see through those lenses. | |
| It's now the spirit is interpreting reality for you. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Which is why we can win. | |
| Because if you've got the spirit of truth and know how to marshal your arguments properly, I learned a long time ago, not too long ago, recently actually, that when I'm doing a debate like this, I'm really not trying to get that other person to see because they're ideologically locked in. | |
| Not to mention they make money being that way, so they're not changing. | |
| Oh, God. | |
| I'm actually talking to I'm talking to you. | |
| And I'm trying to behave with this person as civil as I can, but I'm not looking for any bullet to pierce that armor. | |
| I'm looking for the idea and the disposition to get you because the audience there is who we're trying to reach. | |
| So that's why we have to be able to stay in possession of a sound mind. | |
| Yes. | |
| Because we're not going to win the people that are ideologically entrenched against us. | |
| But you better wake up to the fact that there's three categories of people, the wise, the foolish, and the evil. | |
| And not all that are foolish are dumb. | |
| Many of them are smart, intelligent, and charismatic. | |
| And many of you were once fools also, Paul said. | |
| So you can have, you just don't know the word and the truth, so you believe everything else. | |
