Holy Sacred Writ declares that the worlds (both mystical and corporeal) were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. From this declaration, a principle appears of infinite importance. Simultaneously, the word of God is immaterial and yet, “IS” the power that causes the immaterial to materialize so that it can be witnessed and attested to. The Apostle John eloquently writes: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.- The same was in the beginning with God.- All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made”. Applied to the human spirit, this magnanimous principle sets the substratum for detecting the motivation of the human heart (the fire of human desire enacting upon the will bringing forth the power to act) by the words that it frames. The Apostle John’s eloquence appears again when he states: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”. If the motivation of the human heart (human will/libido that brings forth the power to act) is deceit; words of blandishment will be framed. If the motivation of the human heart is lying; words of enticement will be framed. If the motivation of the human heart is to destroy; words of defamation will be framed. If the motivation of the human heart is betrayal; words of hostility will be framed. Seemingly, in the modern era of the church, this latter statement sets forth the apostatised disposition that currently plagues the visible church. Many in the visible church today have their hearts set in the apostatised disposition of betrayal, that confluently sets forth words of hostility, ultimately framing the “Betraying Speech” that characterizes them as spiritual assassins destroying the faith they claim to uphold. This is what makes the word of the Lord true when the Prophet Isaiah said “With their lips they do honour me, but their heart is far from me”. Betraying Speech is a type of demagoguery that acts upon the human spirit in a way that leads its decision making processes away from the edicts and commands (greek> apodictic> absolute truth expressed as divine command) of the Eternal Godhead as given through the word of God. In this manner, Betraying Speech shows that its radix (latin> meaning root) is in the spirit of antichrist (demonic power that works in the mystical/unseen realm against the divine purposes of the Eternal Godhead) and when this demagoguery appears in the human spirit, it demarcates that this human agent is under the influence and indwelt by satanic powers. In the human agent, Betraying Speech becomes an apostatised speech because it frames words and sets forth statements that lead the human spirit outside of those principles which Divine Truth has established as holy and acceptable. This proposition is absolutely true whether Betraying Speech appears in a political leader of a nation or in a spiritual leader of a congregation and this apostatised speech is an incubator of destruction (greek> katastrofi> meaning undoing/to make of none effect) to every human agent that would be constituted by its satanic influence. One of the most peculiar markers concerning Betraying Speech is its ability to frame words that seem to be in alignment with the principles of the word of the Lord, and yet, under forensic examination by the Spirit of God, they are shown to be of a satanic origin. Human agents under the influence of this satanic power will use the principle that “God is love” to endorse homosexuality, lesbianism, and same sex marriages. They will use the principle of the Lord’s blessing to conceal the subterfuge that they are worshipping the creation (influence of money) and the creature (social influence) rather than the “Creator” whose “Living Word” formed both the creation and the creature. They use the principle of Divine Judgment to make opaque the motivation of hatred for their enemies (nationalism) and their neighbors (racism). The word of the Lord speaks of these agents and the source of their power when it states: “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.- And no marvel; for satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.- Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” The “Antichrist” spoken of through Holy sacred writ (Bible) by the Prophets of the Old Testament and the Apostles of the New Testament will be marked by Betraying Speech. We already see his influence (spirit of antichrist) in the political leaders of our nation and the spiritual leaders of our congregations. (Another Oil Point from Theology Nation)
