Non-negotiable

"Evil people and devils will never obey."

THERE IS no negotiation with devils. Nor with people consumed by darkness who are empty of God. Their behavior is the same. A wink and a nod smooths over the lie they intend to speak and not live by. Note, I did not say these people were possessed by an actual devil (unclean spirit). Instead, it is that they behave identically.

Negotiation implies both sides are willing to compromise and obey that decision. Evil people and devils will never obey. Never. Good people cannot see this or accept it because out of the same mouth comes cursings and blessings (James 3:10), and they (the good people) simply don’t think that way. Evil can be nice in a breath and violent in another. Only Jesus make us peaceful. He is the Prince of Peace, the God of Peace. From Him flows the peace of God.

He is Truth. No other belief system is True, as defined in Scripture.

“Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.” (Isaiah 44:8, Capitalization rendered by King James translators, second “god” is a small g.)

Jesus said He is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE (John 14:6). He said this, looking toward the cross, which victory made Him the Way. I’ve said it this way: “He is THE WAY TO THE FATHER, the TRUTH OF THE FATHER, and the LIFE OF THE FATHER.” Jesus told us the Father is Greater (John 14:28). He is SO LOVE willing to die, but because He is above all, He can’t. So Jesus came to die for Him. This seems odd, except Hebrews tells us, as the Son, Jesus inherited all the Father has, and in order to inherit, the one who made the will has to die (Hebrews 9:16).

Jesus is the Son. He is united entirely with the Father. They are ONE. This is difficult to comprehend without being spiritually minded, a term used in Romans 8:6. It is contrasted, there, with being carnally minded. The carnal mind is the thought pattern of evil people and evil spiritual beings. Everything they do is self-centered to the point of violence. Whereas God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – only thinks of YOUR SAFETY and HAPPINESS. At Their own expense.

Even if They had to die and be resurrected to save you, They would do it.

“Christ and the Devil cannot agree.” (2 Corinthians 6:15, EasyEnglish)

“Consider the example of a will: In order for the true contents of the will to be known, the one who made it must have died,” (Hebrews 9:16, Remedy)
