Melcena’s Words on Christian Themes

Mark 12:30-31 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

In his last teaching, before his health tragedy, Pastor Scott said that ANYTHING you worship, think about, let rule you, believe other than Him and do the above, IS A FALSE GOD. Now, I know there are those out there that are going to take offense and, maybe, totally disagree with me on what I am about to say, but, this includes putting the rules of the saints ABOVE those of Christ. This is not easy. The rules of the saints are patterns to reach for. Not necessarily reached.

If I spent my day telling everyone around me exacting my feelings on how they are living, I would not have one friend. And I could preach Bible verses to back up everything I say to them. The only thing I would do would offend them, turn them away from the God I am trying to help draw them to, and end up without anyone wanting to listen or be around me.

The first commandment takes a lot more time than the second. Why? Because it means to take the time to communicate with God. At night I wake throughout the night. When I do I wake communicating with God and go back to sleep while talking with Him. During that time I am at my most vulnerable because my mind is clear of most thought other than Him. This is when I realize that sometime in my life I have been guilty of the very things that I am now seeing in others. How enslaving I was of others, making sure they provided what I needed with no thought as to their needs. How much better I was to them, in my eyes, and how bitter that they could not see how wonderful I really was. How I sacrificed so that I would be applauded for all the good I did. How I stepped out and tried constantly to martyr myself, so that everyone would remember my dedication and loyalty. I had a veracious appetite for sex and allowed myself to be used and abused, thinking this was the way to love and I would never be loved without it. All I wanted, I kept telling myself was to be appreciated. I got very messed up in the occult. There are areas there I still do not want to talk about. But I became a stalker, and am still very embarrassed about that. In other words, I allowed satan to really have a ball with me. All along thinking, I was ok. I was like everyone else. Except I had a conscious that kept bothering me. I kept ignoring it, but, it would not ignore me. Sending nightmares that I learned to fall in love with. I became a closet “Goth”. Living mentally in tombs as a vampire. All along thinking that I was sacrificing myself to protect others. Protect them from what? I was the monster!

I tell you all of this to let you know just how far your fantasies can take you before you even realize. Who or what is at the root of your thoughts? ANYTHING that is not of the Kingdom of God, the commandments of Christ, is a false god!

Now whenever I have ANY thought that would be of earthly passion, (I am celibate), violent, distorted, anything I know is not appropriate for my lifestyle today, I pray this prayer:

Dear Lord,
Please remove satan and his governments from my mind. body, heart, soul, and spirit and those of all living things under my roof. Please wrap me and all living creatures, (other humans or even pets) with Your Protective Arms. Wrap Your Protective Arms around my apartment, (house, trailer, etc) and do not allow evil to enter in. In Jesus name. Amen

I pray this every twenty-four hours. It is also good to pray The Lord’s Prayer as well. You will be surprised how, after a while, you will notice a difference in the atmosphere. You will grow closer to the Lord and others will notice a difference when they walk into your home. I am doing all I can to become more humble because when you love Him as much as you can, you will want to do all you can. God bless.
