BLESSED BY ATTITUDE CHANGES TOWARD SWEARING

My Dear Precious Child, Jesus Christ reminded His followers that their custom was to swear to do something by My name or by heaven to insure that they will do what they promised to do. Jesus changed their attitude toward swearing to do something by saying DO NOT SWEAR to do anything, not by heaven since it's My throne, not by earth since it's My footstool, not by Jerusalem since it's the city of kings, not by your head, either, since you can't turn one of your hairs black or white. Instead of swearing to do something, merely say "Yes," if you mean yes, and "No," if you mean no. That instruction was completely opposite to custom, tradition and religous practices at the time. (Matthew 5:33-37) To swear to do something that guarantees that you will do it by getting My help is to set yourself up for failure because, as Jesus said, that requirement to swear to do something comes from the devil. Jesus knew that the devil and his demons have more opportunity in the earth to cause you not to be able to keep a promise if someone requires you to swear in the name of something that has to do with Me. Not only does it make you look bad but it makes Me look bad, also, when you are not able to keep your promise. Jesus Christ was saying that your swearing to do something, even if you have every intent to do it, can be sabotaged by the devil and will be sabotaged by the devil in order to be able to make you feel guilty when you break that promise, which the demons from hell will definitely put blocks in your way that cause you to fail. So in order to not be tempted to break an oath, Jesus said for you not to ever swear to do something. He said for His disciples, including you, to merely say that you, instead of swearing to do something, He said that you should merely say yes or no about doing anything. That teaching on a certain attitude was an opportunity for Him to reveal to His followers that the devil and his demons lie in wait in order to make you swear to something so that they can put something in your path that will make you break that oath and they can make you feel guilty, which is one of their most damaging attitude curses. Guilt can make lifelong negative hormones flood into your body and mind, cursing both your physical and mental health. The demons love to remind you that you didn't pay your tithe that you swore to do years ago when you signed a pledge to do it. At the time you had every intention to pay that tithe but eventually the devil put stumbling blocks in your way so that you did not have the money to keep that oath, so the devil had an open door to your mind in order to curse you with one of his most damaging attitudes, which is guilt. In the teachings of Jesus Christ relating to attitudes, He was giving you instructions on how to change your attitudes toward certain things in order to close the door to your mind relating to things that allow the devil to torture you with guilt and condemnation. One of the ways was by instructing you not to swear to do something because anyone or anything that requires you to swear to do something comes from the the evil one, Jesus said. When someone or something makes you swear to do something, he or it is being used by the devil to trap you into allowing the demons of guilt and condemnation to use your own mind to condemn you by making you feel guilty when you can't do what you swore to do. In order to nip that in the bud, He said not to swear to do anything but instead to merely either say yes or no. The things that Jesus taught you relating to attitudes always caused you to have less guilt and condemnation. One thing He taught was He said if you will not yield to the temptations of the demon of anger, nipping it in the bud when it tries to make you angry, then you won't ever kill anyone. He told you also that if you won't yield to the sexual demon who makes you desire to have sexual intercourse with someone, then you won't commit adultery because adultery begins with the image of having sexual intercourse in your mind. If that image tries to enter into your mind, then cast it into the abyss, which was the advice of Jesus Christ. His teachings on attitude adjustment are all related to how to keep your mind clean by casting negative images into the abyss. (Matthew 13:36-43) The apostle Paul agreed with Jesus and made his revelations even more clear than the ones of Jesus Christ, which My Holy Spirit always does, which is to clarify the teachings of Jesus. (II Corinthians 10:5) Paul wrote to, "Cast down every imagination and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God by bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." So My Holy Spirit was telling you that all sins begin with thoughts, which is the first teaching of Jesus relating to attitudes, that thoughts form attitudes, attitudes produce words spoken and actions taken. Jesus told His followers later that when My Holy Spirit came into their lives that He would clarify the teachings of Jesus that His disciples could not understand. Jesus' teaching about attitude are good examples. (John 16:13-14) All of the teachings of Jesus Christ relating to attitudes were taught by Jesus in order for you to more fully understand the works of the devil and his demons so that you can refuse to obey their temptations. His teachings revealed My kingdom of God and the devil's kingdom of hell which are both at work in the earth. Both kingdoms battle for your mind. Follow the teachings of Jesus and My Holy Spirit about attitudes and you will be able to resist the devil and cast the demons into the abyss instead of yielding to them.
