‘I Feel the Presence of The Lord’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

Perversion Is Not A Civil Right

A personal friend of mine is a judge. Earlier this morning we were talking about what the political pressure, and the path of complete and total separation from God and biblical standards has wrought. My friend noted that it wasn’t long ago that the military Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) addressed homosexuality as follows: In DSM – I, homosexuality was listed as a mental disorder. In later versions of DSM-II, homosexuality was reclassified as a sexual orientation disturbance. Eventually, homosexuality was removed from the DSM altogether. You see the same shift with gender identity. Why? Political pressure.

God gave them up.

It seems that rational thought and reasoning has been thrown out of the window. That said it seems that whenever a people move away from God the first evidences of same are sexual deviancy. I should also note that the more so-called enlightened a person/people become and the greater their disposable
income the greater fixation upon sexual perversion, but I digress.

The difference as we enter 2018, is that it isn’t enough to be homosexual or whatever strain of deviant assignation a person wants to identify as, their debauchery is expected to be embraced and applauded by all. Somewhere along the line political pressure has codified forced acceptance of sexually abnormal sinful behavior, Which brings me to a point I have made many times over. Homosexuality is not a civil right and here is why.

Homosexuals try to pawn their perceived struggle for complete and total acceptance of their chosen lifestyle as being synonymous with what blacks went through to achieve civil rights. But their attempts to equate their radical agenda with discrimination as defined in The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is blatantly false and without merit.

Blacks were prevented based on the color of their skin alone in many domiciles because of prejudice and by codification of segregation, to vote, to purchase property where they chose, eat wherever they desired, attend events, ad nauseum.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 specifically defines the act as same. It reads:
“An Act: To enforce the constitutional right to vote, to confer jurisdiction upon the district courts of the United States to provide injunctive relief against discrimination in public accommodations, to authorize the Attorney General to institute suits to protect constitutional rights in public facilities and public education, to extend the Commission on Civil Rights, to prevent discrimination in federally assisted programs, to establish a Commission on Equal Employment Opportunity, and for other purposes.”

The Act was intended to put “teeth,” if you will, into the 14th Amendment.

Homosexual activists are dishonest when they attempt to convince the public that rejection of homosexual marriage is tantamount to the culture of apartheid that opposed interracial dating and marriage. It is not.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was intended to end, prevent, and address discrimination – discrimination against men and women regardless of their race and/or color.

While discrimination based on sexual preference is not specifically mentioned, I believe it is logically included in the Act. A woman cannot be discriminated against because she has a dating preference for gargantuanly obese men. A person cannot be discriminated against because they have an attraction to short people. A person’s choice of sexual interest as long as it is legal is protected, and it should be.

But I believe and argue that the Act is an appliance that guards against discrimination, its not to be used as cover for a malicious agenda that prescribes the redefining of our social construct. Christian organizations must hire homosexuals and I find that fair (after all what better place for those in need of Christ). But being employed by a Christian organization doesn’t give the employee the constitutional right to change the policies and dogma of said employer. The employee had a choice to seek employment elsewhere.

There are logical exceptions. A morbidly obese person cannot favorably present the image of certain companies, but a person’s color does not affect same (allowing the employer isn’t the Ku Klux Klan). A church has the right to have strict, inflexible standards for ordination and for licensing of their clergy.

Homosexuals argue they are denied certain other entitlements that everyone else enjoys, and they cite the inability to make life and death decisions for those they co-habit with, etc. This too is a specious and fallacious argument. Heterosexuals co-habiting outside the bonds of marriage do not have the right to make such decisions either.

That is why responsible people living outside the bonds of marriage make living wills. They take responsible measures to ensure their wishes are carried out and to allow for the person of their choice to make decisions for them in the event of one or the other becoming unable to make the decision for themselves.

Two men can purchase a property together; they can get health insurance and life insurance policies naming one another as beneficiaries, and so on. Their sexual preference doesn’t matter. Their ability to repay a mortgage, etc., isn’t affected by their sexual preference any more than that of heterosexuals.

I could go on, but suffice it to say the homosexual agenda isn’t about civil rights; it is about their desire to change the social construct by redefining marriage and family.

Legislating an employment and social environment that codifies the ability of an employee to present themselves in ways that are detrimental to the welfare and health of the company is ludicrous. I speak specifically of cross-dressing and exhibiting inappropriate behavior.

It is maddening that a person can be discriminated against pursuant to employment and home renting because they smoke cigarettes. But nothing is said to address the fact that the Centers for Disease Control paint a horrifyingly high incidence for deadly disease with respect to the practice of homosexuality – including a staggeringly high rate of breast cancer incidences among lesbian women juxtaposed to heterosexual women.

According to the Centers for Disease Control report on HIV incidence, men who have sex with men accounted for 63 percent of the estimated new HIV infections in 2010. That rate means that as 1-4 percent total of the population they’re as much as 86 times more likely to be diagnosed with HIV. Women with a history of sex with women may be a marker for increased risk of adverse sexual, reproductive, and general health outcomes compared with women who reported sex exclusively with men. (American Journal of Public Health; ajph.aphapublications.org/cgi/content/abstract/97/6/1126)

I would submit it makes more sense for homosexual activists to tell people to flee the practice than it does to claim they are being denied civil rights. I would also submit that the primary reason for the exponential levels of psychological treatment amongst homosexuals is precisely because God never intended for men to be sexually gratified by men nor women to be sexually gratified by another woman.

Extremism follows very closely behind perversion. This is because, perverted behavior demands an increase in extremism to bring about the same level of satisfaction. Think of the abuse of drugs, alcohol, or even a so-called sexaholic. Consider the levels of behavior those involved in same devolve to in order to experience the emotional high(s) they crave.

God never intended for a man to change his biological character to masquerade as a woman and vice-versa. Having oneself butchered does not change one’s sex; it is impossible to change one’s sex — you can only change your outward physical appearance.

None of those behaviors started out as full-blown debilitating issues, but for many it didn’t take long for same to reach the level of debilitating behavior; and while it may have taken others longer, the end results are still the same even if they are able to function despite being physical, mental, and emotional captives to aberrant behavior. There is the ever increasing desire to push the limits of sanity in pursuit of personal gratification.

All of the above notwithstanding; it is as I said to another friend who is a retired police chief: “My position is that God gave us free will. Ergo, we have the ability to choose. But it can be argued that there is a certain finality to the words of the Apostle Paul, found in the first chapter of his epistle to the Romans, when we are willfully contumacious.” The words I reference are “God gave them up.”
