Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Mark 8:14-17
There is a current growing trend that exponentially exploded during the ‘scamdemic’ … of people giving themselves over to a ‘mob’ mentality. Psychologically trained into people through the social media technology of ‘likes’ and attention — this mob mentality has grown into scary proportions. Along with the government producing incentives for ‘rat on your neighbor’ information brings a new low in ‘neighborly love’ and community. Breeding distrust, and shame the government is using satan’s playbook to gain more power and control. Why? Because we’ve allowed evil to rule. Who’s ‘we’ve’? The Church.
The Church / or Body of Christ is supposed to have the Truth and the Light exposing evil, not covering it up, and actually not be utilizing the same enemy’s tactics. But that’s what happened during the ‘scamdemic’. So many ‘spiritual leaders’ believed the lies… trusted the so-called ‘experts’, and went along on giving the lie to the members that trusted them to know the ‘truth’ and have discernment. This only proved how little spiritual discernment existed among the current batch of ‘spiritual’ leaders. How many of those ‘spiritual leaders’ have publicly repented? How many have admitted that they were wrong and didn’t follow the witness of the Holy Spirit? Masks have been scientifically proven to make zero difference with viral components. In dangerous viral outbreaks the ONLY protection would have been a level ‘A’ hazmat suit. This was known FAR before this outbreak. Masks were only a ‘badge’ of compliance, a ‘sign’ that you were a ‘good citizen’ and it actually helped make the outbreak worse by lowering the immune systems of the wearers. Six feet apart? Another non-science regulation that was zero helpful. Plastic barriers — another ‘fear tactic’. Almost every new regulation was made WITHOUT scientific evidence – by people who stated they were ‘science’, so we had to listen to them. The experimental jab offered as the ‘safe and effective’ solution has killed and injured more than all other vaccines combined in history. So may lies were spewed about how wonderful it was — yet it has brought so much death and destruction. Many who took it still refuse to see how dangerous it was.. (and is … as the government is STILL pushing it) because that would mean they were ‘duped’ and would have to admit it. Humility is definitely hard to come by these days. True repentance is even more scarce.
So now the new wave is to condemn anyone who does not trust the ‘experts’, and say that they are worse than ‘terrorists’. Of course people wanting the garner favor with the crowd and current leadership do all sorts of evil things to be noticed by their demonically motivated leaders. This is truly a ‘mob’ mentality. It happened in Nazi Germany. We have history to tell us of this very dangerous mentality — yet most people don’t know or refuse to hear it.
So why did I use that particular scripture at the beginning of this post? It points out the danger of the words and actions of leaders who don’t have your best interest at heart. And most people like the disciples at that time don’t have a clue or discernment of what the Spirit of God is saying currently. They can’t discern the truth of things and just rely on their human leaders to tell what is so. If you can’t discern the truth for yourself then you are easy ‘prey’ for the mob.
So how do we gain discernment? Where do we go to learn discernment? There is ONLY One Source of the Truth. Jesus Christ Himself. It is He who ‘baptizes’ us with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God then begins to work within us. He has a Voice. We have to learn to hear it, and listen to it, and learn to obey it. The Voice of the Holy Spirit often coincides with scripture, and pushes us towards His fruit. (Galatians 5:22-23)
The lack of discernment in the current batch of spiritual leaders is because we’ve followed the worldly academic standards and systems for the training of so-called spiritual leaders. Only academic hoops are required now — but the witness of the Holy Spirit has been only relegated to the ‘experts’ who obviously don’t know “Him” personally.
We are in serious trouble in the ekklesia from the institutional systems of the Church. The institutional system teaches us to comply because they “say so” — “for the greater good”, “because we’re the experts and your leaders”. They utilize the scriptures for only their own benefit. Just like the Pharisees in Jesus’ day.
It seems everywhere I turn I see demonically controlled / manipulated individuals doing evil in hopes of impressing their evil leaders. They SO want to have attention and power, and are willing to do anything to get it. It is the ‘mob’ mentality and it’s growing.
Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Jesus’ question is VERY relevant for everyone today.
