PLAGUES

Dear One,
     If a house adjacent to your own was known to be inhabited by a person with a highly infectious and communicable disease, you would avoid it completely in an effort to protect yourself and your family from the disease.  In fact, it might be good if the house were quarantined and the proper signs put on the doors.  Yes, it would be very prudent to avoid the house.
     If some forms of media are divisive, fearful, critical and judgmental in its productions, you must avoid them like the plagues that they are.  They will infect your mind just as badly as a disease infects your body.
     You very often do not recognize the plague of strife because it is clothed in some small bit of truth.  It is also clothed in patriotism and nationalism.  Jesus was tempted by the same tricks of the devil.  He recognized them as lies and temptations to cause him to fall for those mental tricks, all in an effort for the devil to get control and dominance over Him.  If the devil could get control over Jesus He could get control over thousands and thousands of people   The methods of satan are always deceptive.  You have seen the same thing happen iin cults who call themselves My children.  They become mesmerized by people who use religion and nationalism to control and dominate their followers.
      There is a gauge by which you can determine whether something is of Me or whether it is of the devil who is using the flesh of people to deceive.  The gauge is love for all people.  If their rhetoric is not filled with love for all people, then you can reject it.
       Judgment, criticism, strife, division through peculiar sects, domination and control are not derivatives of love.  In fact, all judgment of others comes from self righteousness. 
       Love  produces peace, mercy, goodness, kindness, faith, self control, joy and patience.   If those attributes are absent, then the message is not from me and you must avoid it like the plague that it is.
     Love, God
