 Persevering With Positivity While Avoiding Negative Emotions, False Philosophies, and False Prophets

Positive Christianity Series Episode #93

We learn in Scripture about righteous individuals that decide to worship GOD Almighty, King Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of Truth with sincerity of heart and are able to persevere with favor, blessings, goodness, and virtues. We learn that each individual that decides to worship GOD Almighty above everything is distinct and unique because they decide to trust in GOD Almighty above everything. We learn that there are specific virtues that begin to increase in individuals that allow them to be distinct and unique. Although we grow in virtues because of the worship of GOD Almighty, we do not have to compare ourselves to our Christian brothers and sisters knowing that GOD Almighty makes everyone unique and different while we are servants of GOD Almighty. We learn about the manner that in the times of David, everyone increased in the worship of GOD Almighty. There was no envy and no coveting. We learn that this wisdom led to prosperity and abundance because of the worship of GOD Almighty. This speaks about the manner that GOD Almighty sees the righteous being the same in the worship of GOD Almighty wanting the best for us, while at the same time allowing us to be distinct and unique.

This wisdom prevents us from having negative emotions that evil wants to cause in individuals so that individuals are quarreling, hating, envying, and coveting. We learn that we do not have to have negative emotions, cause conflict, quarreling, and cause division because GOD Almighty wants us to live in harmony. If there are individuals that are trying to cause division and conflict, then we know that they are not from GOD Almighty and may be practicing idol worship. We know that evil wants individuals to believe the false "comparisons" so that individuals compare themselves falsely based on lies and deceit. We know that we are not supposed to compare ourselves because we are each different and unique. We learn that each person has different virtues that allow them to persevere, and we do not need to compare ourselves because each virtue is distinct and unique. We know that there are virtues that can not be described. This describes the manner that we need to avoid the practice of envy and coveting.

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.' But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother, without cause will be liable to judgment.'"- Matthew 5: 21-22

"Refrain from anger and forsake wrath. Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land."- Psalm 37: 8-9

Persevering With Positive Emotions and Genuine Empathy While Avoiding False Prophets

This speaks about the manner that we are supposed to persevere with positive emotions. We learn that the worship of GOD Almighty helps us be grateful for the good things that we have in the worship of GOD Almighty. We know that we can not place our emphasis and attention on the negative because we know that evil wants to cause negative emotions in individuals describing anger and hate so that there is division, quarreling, and conflict. We learn that Moses, David, King Jesus Christ, and Paul speak about the importance of having positive emotions while removing negative emotions. We know that Christianity is distinct and unique from the false philosophies of hate and lust that want individuals to hate other individuals without reason and to have envy and coveting. Christianity describes the need to have genuine empathy and filial love so that we obey the commandments of Moses while we fight off negative emotions that we do not need based on temporary lies, falsehoods, and deceit. We learn that this makes us unique and distinct because we are able to live in harmony and develop serenity so that we do not believe the temporary lies of evil that want to cause division and strife without reason especially in these times.

"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."- Matthew 7: 12-14

We learn that obedience to the commandments of Moses tells us that we can not practice sin because sin leads to difficulties, stagnation, and destruction for the unrepentant wicked. We learn that evil wants individuals to have negative emotions describing fear, anger, and envy so that there are worse emotions and then the practice of sin. GOD Almighty tells us to obey the commandments because they are equality, equity, and justice and prevent us from practicing iniquity, hypocrisy, and inequality. We learm that we are supposed to repent of sin while obeying the commandments of Moses with sincerity of heart. We learn that we are able to develop virtues including wisdom and zeal that prevents us from wanting to be in the path of perdition. We also learn about the importance of avoiding false prophets, adulterers, and adultresses that want to lead to the path of perdition in the practice of vices and idol worship. We are not supposed to be a part of idol worship. We learn that idol worship can lead to envy, hate, madness, envy, and coveting because individuals decide to worship idols instead of GOD Almighty. We are supposed to avoid negative individuals that want to lead to idol worship and sin. 

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 'You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree can not bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits."- Matthew 7: 15-20
