We live in a fallen world, a world where Satan has a temporary lease over all man-made systems thatwe all contend with as we live in the earth.

Today's episode focuses on how to live as captives in this fallen world without being a part of it. This teaching continues to build upon God's calling for believers to come out from among them and separate yourselves to God.

Let's begin with this basic fact: freedom according to the world's standards is an ILLUSION. However, you can live as a captive in this fallen world, but you don't have go along with the world's agenda. You might be trapped, but you are not stuck.

About this fallen world. The word fallen describes something or someone that is spiritually or morally corrupt, disconnected, and detached from God. Born-again believers, at one point in our lives, were spiritually disconnected from God.

Man's sin in the garden marked the beginning of man's fall, providing access to forbidden knowledge taught by fallen angels -- knowledge that God never intended man to possess.

So the world we live in is controlled by Satan, and the man-made systems (built upon forbidden knowledge) are designed for the purposes of replacing God, destroying humanity, and making one new man that will worship Satan as god.

Does that mean that you man-made systems produce bad things ALL of the time? No. Good things have come from bad systems. However, the intended purposes -- Satan's agenda -- of the systems of this world are to steal, kill, and destroy. But know this: the good that comes from man-made systems DO NOT CHANGE the nature and origin of the system.

So, we live in a fallen world has already been judged and condemned through Jesus Christ, and this world is passing away. God judged the world to show mercy upon HIS people. Yes, we have freedom from sin and death in Christ… but we're still "trapped" in this fallen world that we don't belong to.

So, what do we do about it?

Here are Five (5) Things you can do while being trapped in this world and not be stuck.

1. Allow Jesus's joy to mature, to become complete in you as you serve God.
2. Press into God's Word.
3. Accept that you will be hated by the world.
4. Take part in your sanctification.
5. Go into the world!

It worked for Jesus when He was in the flesh. It will work for you too!

Matt 13:24-30; Matt 30:36-43; Isaiah 14:12; Rev 2:5; John 10:10; 1 John 2:15-18; Matt 25:31-32; John 5:22-23; John 17:13-20; Jer 33:11; Rom 6:12-14

Have you ever seen someone's relationship status on social media that says, "It's complicated"? So, how does one uncomplicate things in their lives?

The more you know about the differences between the two types of "systems" and how they operate, your lives will become easier and less complicated as you exist in this fallen world.

Today's episode continues to build upon our understanding of systems. That is, God-created systems and man-made systems that are temporarily "owned" by Satan.

Fundamentally to our understanding of systems, know this:

• All systems have "owners" and "operators".
• Every system is either God-created or man-made.
• All systems exist for the purpose of serving God or serving Satan.
• We are ALL operators of systems that we participate in.
• For every God-created system that exists, there is a man-made equivalent.

Knowing these fundamental truths will help you uncomplicate your life as operators.

The parable of the wheat and the tares in the gospel of Matthew is the perfect illustration. As you read this parable, consider the following take-aways:

1. Jesus is distinguishing between two types of systems: God's Kingdom and the kingdom of darkness.
2. God owns both systems. Satan temporarily "owns" by lease those that are man-made.
3. Both systems are subjected to God's law of seed, time, and harvest and the law of sowing and reaping.
4. Both systems have high-level operators: Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Satan and the anti-Christ.
5. Both systems have mid-level and low-level operators.
6. Both systems are sowing seeds in tandem.
7. It is difficult to distinguish between the good seed (wheat) from the bad (tares). Our job is to become instruments of righteousness in Christ filled with joy and peace.
8. The harvest will occur at the end of the age. The harvesters are the angels of God to gather up and burn the tares.
9. The Son of Man will decide the fate of those guilty of lawlessness and those that are righteous inHim.

Life becomes less complicated when we understand the differences and influence of systems in our lives. With God's direction, detach and separate yourselves from the man-made systems of this world and surrender to God.

Matt 13:24-30; Matt 13:30:36-43; Genesis 8:22; Gal 6:7-8; Romans 7:20-23; Psalm 37:1-6

In episode #354, Kim describe the systems of the world that are God-created and those that are man-made. Today's episode takes a deeper dive into the differences between the systems that are God's and those that appear to be good but have been hijacked by Satan to serve his evil purpose.

Let us ground ourselves in this foundational truth: God created ALL things - things that never existed before. Satan has created NOTHING. Satan, through the minds, hands, and desires of man, has taken what God has created to "make" a world for himself that imitates and perverts the things of God. God creates… man makes.

God's systems are intended to produce, perpetuate, and sustain life on earth. Man-made systems are man-u-factured; they appear to be good but ultimately end in death. Can you distinguish "good" from God? Can you distinguish the wheat (of God) from the tares (of Satan)?

Why is this important? The things that Satan has made from that which God has created are an imitation (and inevitably a perversion) that ultimately ends in death. Even the good that we do (our righteousness) is deemed to be filthy rags before God.

Here are three (3) reasons why it's important to understand God's systems from man-made systems.

1. God is a God of order. His created systems provide and maintain order. We are to pursue the systems of God and not be consumed by worldly systems intended for disorder and chaos.
2. God's systems represent His eternal essence. Man-made systems represent Satan's essence to be like God. God's systems bring about ease while man-made systems yield dis-ease in our lives.
3. Understanding systems informs your prayers and your decisions, meaning you can take back your life and reclaim your sovereignty.

When you understand the systems that God created from man-made systems, it will make it easier for you to choose the systems you will participate in and those you will not. Understand, reclaim your sovereignty, and be free.

God wants you to be free. Glory to God!

Matt 13:24-30; Genesis 1; 2; Gal 6:6-9; Ecc 1:5-7; 9-11; John 10:14-19

In today's episode, Kim talks about systems and explains how to use our sovereignty in Christ to overcome the seduction of the world systems that we are all a part of.  What you don't know [about systems] can kill you!

A system is a group of interrelated things workingtogether to achieve a desired goal or purpose. The world operates on a set of systems, some for purposes of good and some for bad. For example, God designed many systems to sustain and maintain life. They include the light systems (sun, moon, stars), the water systems (rivers, seas, lakes, wells), the land system, the animal system, and the systems of the human body such as the digestive, nervous, pulmonary, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems to name a few.

We all participate in worldly, man-made systems across myriad areas such as the political system, educational system, the banking system, healthcare system, communication system, manufacturing systems, business system, legal system, and religious systems. While we cannot always SEE the systems at work, rest assured EVERYTHING is supported by systems and sub-systems.

There are only two types of systems: Godly systems and Satanic systems. Satan is notorious for hijacking what God created to makes it serve his agenda. Can you identify the Godly systems from the man-made, Satanic systems of this world?

Why is this topic important?

First, every success or failure is supported by a system that we participate in. Satan knows this and uses it to his advantage. Secondly, God retains ultimate authority over ALL systems, man-made or otherwise. God permits ungodly systems to exist for a time, but He is ultimately in control (sovereign). Also note that all systems provide an entry point and an exit point. Generally speaking, the exit of any system is death.

Additionally, we cannot change systems from the inside out.Jesus did not come to change the systems of this world; He came to confront them. Jesus did not become a part of worldly systems so as to change or improve them. He came to annihilate them.

Jesus did NOT belong to the world and its systems. If WE are to rise to the level of power and authority that God has ordained for our lives, we will have to consider our level of participation in this world. And lastly, understanding systems is important because SYSTEMS GOVERN OUR LIVES.

The systems of this world are designed to steal your freedom (SOVEREIGNTY), kill your right to think and decide for yourself, and to destroy your relationship with God and His Kingdom promises.

Consider these three(3) questions:

1. Which of these worldly s ystems consume your life?
2. How do you know when a system has seduced you into participating?
3. Which systems would God have you evaluate or reconsider your participation or withdraw altogether?

Listen on as Kim provides Twelve (12) Indicators That You Have Been Seduced (Indoctrinated) by Systems that govern our lives and steal our freedom.

Come out and separate yourself from the ungodly systems of this world.

John 8:23; John 18:36; John 10:7-21; 1 John 3:8; Gal 6:7-8; John 17:14-16; Matt 12:28-30

"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man." Luke 17:26

"and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the lawless, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial…" 2 Peter 2:7-8

Judgment IS inevitable; it's coming. No one will be able to escape God's judgment. As believers, born-again Christians, are you living for the things of this world? Are you stuck in Sodom & Gomorrah as Lot was?

God had instructions for Lot and his family to escape the impending destruction of the city… and HE is instructing US today to do the same - to come out from Sodom and from the fallen world we live in.

Today's episode brings a message of hope that God will rescue to godly, those righteous in Christ, from the punishment that awaits the unrighteous. God is warning His people that it's time to come out… and God has a way to escape for you, and it doesn't require fire insurance. I pray that God opens your heart to receive this timely and urgent message.

Can you relate to Lot's story? Are you tarrying as Lot did? Will you need God's angels to intercede for you as Lot did? Will you disregard the warning as Lot's sons-in-laws did? Will you look back as Lot's wife did? As Abraham was to Lot, so are we to the people that God gives us to influence.

Whatever it is that you are dealing with or are holding onto, God know what will grab your attention and turn it back to Him and His Word.

After listening to this episode, what will you do with what you heard today?

2 Tim 3:1-5; Luke 17:26-32; 2 Peter2:6-10; Gen 11:27; 31; Gen 12:1-5; 13:7-11; 14:10-14; Gen 19;2 Cor 6:17; Rev 18:4; Deut 2:9;19

In the previous episode #351, Kim exposes one of Satan's most deceptive lies - that you can be "like" God. The truth is you will never BE God or like God.  All or most Christians today would admit that they are NOT God. Many would also confess that have NO desire to be like God.  SO YOU THINK!?

Well… THINK AGAIN.

Today's episode reviews eight (8) ways where WE try or act in a manner that is consistent with the desire to be like God. As you review the list below, consider which (if any) of these items pertain to you.

Eight (8) Ways We Have Tried To Be "Like" God

1. We work hard to be righteous, moral, ethical. We try to "do the right thing"… righteous works.
2. We pursue and desire hidden, forbidden knowledge. Think secret societies, alternative religions, the occult, meta-physics, yoga, etc.
3. We seek to create like God, rather than making something out of what God has created. Think art, writing, music, science, engineering, medicine, pharmacology, biotechnology… to name a few examples of our God-like creations.
4. We accumulate and consolidate power over nature, circumstances, and people.
5. We try to preserve our lives. Think cryogenics, nano & biotechnology, transhumanism, etc.
6. We become legalistic about submission to God. Think religion, marriage.
7. We exult and preach faith over love.
8. All ill-motivated forms for SELF (self-preservation, help, righteousness, taught, made, etc.) are efforts to be like God.

Consider these for yourself. If one or more apply to you, remember that you must be delivered from this internal desire to be like God. Repent and seek His forgiveness.

Stay with us to the end when Kim describes how three (3) scripture verses (taken out of context) encourage Christians in thinking they can be like God.

• Genesis 1:26
• Proverbs 23:7
• 1 John 4:17

 

Gen 2:15-17; 2:25; Gen 3:1-7; James 1:13-15; Matt 4; 1 Cor 4:7; Gal 5:6; Gal 2:20; Phil 9:8; Matt 24:21-22; Gen 1:26; Prov 23:7; 1 John 4:17

Self-confidence. Self-esteem. Self-respect. Self-made. Self-determination. Self-love. Self-preservation. Self-help. Self-sufficient. Self-indulgence.

What do all of these expressions have in common?  SELF

In today's episode, Kim continues to describe Satan's deception and the truth about this fallen world. She poses a thought-provoking question for Christians: Are you trying to be like God?

At some point in our lives, we have been lied to and ALL have lied. However, we know from the Bible that the god of this world is Satan. Satan deceives the WHOLE WORLD… that includes you and me. Put your pride aside. If you are conforming to this world, you are accepting the lies of the evil one.

When confronted by the truth, it compels a response from everyone. No response IS a response. As a believer in Christ, is the price of truth too great a price to pay in this lifetime? Are you believing the lies of this world that you can be like God? Remember this, that our works over the span of our lives (after having professed Jesus Christ) will be evaluated. It's inevitable.

Recap 4 Take-aways of Truth in scripture:

1. Satan is the god of this world
2. Satan has deceived ALL of us
3. Satan disguises himself as the angel of light
4. There is a false church, false christ, false prophets, false apostles, and false christ followers and can perform signs, wonders, and miracles… to serve the lie!

 

What IS the lie??? We can be like God!SELF over dependency on God. That is the lie, and the world is all about you taking control of your own lives to your heart's desire. Many Christians are operating under the forbidden knowledge (the occult) of good and evil and don't even know it. EVERYTHING in this world serves the lie, and that includes the religious systems promoting Christianity. 

God is NOT asking you to change the world. God is asking us to allow HIM to change us… so that the relationships HE's given us to influence can have the opportunity to come out of this world and be separated.

So, how are you trying to be like God? Here are ten (10) things to consider:

1. We live in a fallen world; good is evil, evil is good.
2. Satan hijacks and suppresses the truth. He manipulates language - abortion is now women's right; biological sex is now gender identification; same-sex marriage is love and not lust.
3. Satan bribes, seduces, and coerces men, women, and children to serve the lie
4. When Satan is finished with those he has seduced, he destroys, exposes, and kills them.
5. Satan is replacing people with machines, robots, and AI in his artificial world.
6. Satan is using forbidden, occult knowledge to entice power… even in the body of Christ.
7. Real food is being replaced with artificial food.
8. Satan has made sexual immorality acceptable.
9. Satan trades power, money, and fame for compliance.
10. Until we offer all parts of ourselves to God, we are instruments that are taking part in unrighteousness… whether knowingly or unknowingly.

 

"… and those the use the world as though they did not make full use of it. For this world in its current form is passing away." 1 Cor 7:31

"… for everything in the world -- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of one's possessions -- is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world with its lust is passing away. But the one who does the will of God remains forever." 1 John 2:16-18

If God has declared that this present world is passing away, then why would we try to interfere or change what God has decreed, rather than come out from among what has been condemned… and be separate?

2 Cor 2:14; 2 Cor 6:17; Rev 18.4; 2 Cor 4:4; Rev 12:9; Matt 24:24; 1 Thess 2:9-10; John 17:17; 2 Cor 11:12-15; Gen 3:3-4; Rom 6:12-13; 1 Cor 7:31; 1 John 2:16-18

Are we experiencing an impending crisis? Is God's judgment forthcoming or already upon us? Regardless of what you think is happening in this world today, God's judgment IS inevitable! There is nothing new under the sun.

In spite of the serious problems that we see today in the world and in the Church at large, God always protects, provides for, and preserves HIS people. Today's episode builds upon the message that God has given Kim for 2025: Come out and be separate from the world. Again, all are encouraged to listen to the past 3 episodes for context.
