Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

1 Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Matthew 16:24 26 (NKJV) Mark 8:34 37; Luke 9: Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? America is coming to it s demise!!! John 12:32,35-36 (NKJV) 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself. 35 Then Jesus said to them, A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light. These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them. 1

2 Matthew 6:5 (NKJV) 5 And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. A Glory Stealer Will Always Mimic his Father. Satan The Devil Deny to deny (acknowledge) v. to refuse to recognize or acknowledge. Rejecting your self Take up his cross to deny oneself carry the cross v. to deny oneself with lethal determination; conceived of as picking up or carrying a wooden beam to one s own execution. Hypocrite hypocrite (actor) n. a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives. This is spirit is destroying our families, churches, government and communities. 2

Ezekiel 28:11 17 (NKJV) 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the

3 Ezekiel 28:11 17 (NKJV) 11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD: You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 3

4 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. 16 By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones. 17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you. Who, then, was the person whose character was like the king of Tyre that fulfilled the elements of vv ? 4 The serpent was known for his craftiness (Gen 3:1), his deceit, and his anti-god attitude (Gen 3:4), leading humanity to sin (Gen 3:6 7). Elsewhere he is presented as a deceiver (Rev 12:9; 20:2), an instigator of evil (John 13:2, 27), one who seeks worship as a god (Luke 4:6 8; 2 Thess 2:3 4), and one who seeks to get others to renounce God (Job 2:4 5). He appears as an angel of God (2 Cor 11:14) and as the father of lies and violence (John 8:44), distorts Scripture (Matt 4:6), opposes believers (2 Cor 2:11),

and finally is judged (Matt 25:41; Rev 19:20 21; 20:13 15).

known as the adversary, the devil, Satan; Rev 12:9) is a logical one.

We have to let God s Glory reflect thru us and Give him all the glory and honor.

5 and finally is judged (Matt 25:41; Rev 19:20 21; 20:13 15). Therefore the conclusion that the figure behind the poetic symbol is the serpent (also known as the adversary, the devil, Satan; Rev 12:9) is a logical one. We must understand that if we are to server God we have to Deny ourselves. We have to let God s Glory reflect thru us and Give him all the glory and honor. Glory Stealers are doing one thing and that is telling God that there a god themselves. Which will lead to their demised because there can only be One God Jesus. 5
