EXCESS IS A TRAP

Dear One,
    If My children have a problem discerning evil and its works, then they need to know the truth that the devil fosters excess in things.  The father of all evil, the devil, is not creative so he takes the good things that I createD and tempts My children to engage in excess, either too much of a good thing or not enough of a good thing.  (Romans 6:12-13)
  Poverty is not having enough money to provide for your family and yourself, but greed is gaining too much at the expense of others.  Greed is always rooted in a disregard for the plight of others.  Both are destructive to My children. (I Timothy 6:12)
  Drought is not having enough rain for crops but flooding is having too much rain.  Both are debilitating for My children.  Having no rain can kill crops which feed My children but too much rain can also kill crops which are needed to feed people. (Matthew 5:44-45)
  Lasciviousness is having an excess of sexual desire which causes rape, incest molestation, pornography, enslavement and perversion.  When one partner has no interest in sexual intimacy it can cause problems in marriages.  Lust is destructive to innocent children and adults, and lack of libido can be destructive to a marriage. (Mark 7:21-23)
   Anger is an excess of emotion which I told My children can cause them to sin by robbing others of their egos, their self respect and their peace.  It can also provoke children to also have anger and turn on their parents in rebellion, sometimes even killing them in defense of their own lives. (Romans 3:21)  I told My children to be angry but to sin not with that anger, meaning that you can have indignation at a wrong that is done to you but I taught through Jesus that you should not react in anger back toward your enemy lest you both be robbed of your lives. When you react with love toward an enemy you will gain a friend and you will not have any more enemies.  Peace will prevail in your life. (Romans 12:20-21)
    Drunkenness is drinking an excess of alcoholic beverages which results in all manner of lawbreaking that brings punishment upon My children.  It causes the drinker to make wrong decisions which will either endanger the lives of others or cause the drinker to injure or kill himself.  (Ephesians 5:18)
    All excess is of the devil because he cannot create so he tempts My children with excessive actions so that he can carry out his plans which devastate, destroy or kill people. (John 10:10; I John 3:8)
    In their thoughts My children are tempted by the evil one to amplify accusations and falsehoods so that there will be strife between themselves and others.  That is why I said that if a person has something against you that you should go to the person and make peace.  You will need to bless the person and do good to him or her in order to chase strife out the door of your life.  First you must be willing to forgive and forfeit all animosity for the person or you will be trapped into doing the work of the devil, contributing to destructive works through strife. (James 3:16)      
    Too much desire for food results in gluttony, one of the deadly sins, but having no desire for food causes anorexia, which can kill a person.  Both of them are demonic in practice.  (Proverbs 23:21)
    My desire for My children is to be moderate in all things, never yielding to excess.  In being led by My Spirit you will be moderate and balanced in all things, never engaging in excess and never judging the people who are engaging in excess through ignorance of the works of evil.  (Matthew 7:1-2)
    I am your Father of guidance and wisdom.  My teachings are all beneficial for your having an abundance of My peace and My love, against which there are no laws. (Galatians 5:22-25)
    Your Loving Father.
