Hidden Agendas & Unidentified Purpose

Desire can feel harmless until it rewrites your identity. We start with a hard claim: choices around sex, power, and “whatever feels right” don’t just touch your body, they touch your soul. I walk through why disordered sex and casual sin can damage emotional health, cloud decision-making, and ripple into families and society, even when the short-term looks fine. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, this conversation is an invitation to look deeper than habit and ask what’s happening spiritually. 

From there, we zoom out to worldview. I define religion and atheism as systems that shape how we see meaning, morality, and human purpose, then connect that to Genesis and God’s original intent for humanity: purpose, authority, and ordered partnership. We revisit Adam and Eve to show how imbalance begins when we elevate a lesser voice over God’s command, justify what we want as “good,” and then hide behind blame when consequences hit. I also connect the serpent narrative to the Bible’s broader picture of Satan’s deception and temporary rule, and why Scripture frames spiritual warfare as real, not symbolic. 

The turning point is Jesus. I explain why Jesus Christ is presented as fully God and fully man, why he comes to save sinners, destroy the devil’s works, reveal truth, reconcile us to the Father, and give abundant life through the Holy Spirit. We land in John 15 with a practical focus: abiding in Christ changes how we handle trauma, conflict, temptation, and hard people because love becomes the command and God’s will becomes the anchor.

Greetings, greetings, and welcome to another message of hope from the dripline healing for your soul. It is my desire that this week's message touch your heart, making you more self-aware so you can feel better, live better, love better, forgive more, and be more empowered and self-controlled to make better life's decisions. Today, or this week specifically, the goal is to ultimately bring a message of understanding about who you are, why you are, and why Jesus is so important in one's life, why knowing him is such a life-changing

event and relationship, and why considering him as God, accepting him as God will add a new and beautiful and powerful dynamic to your life. The last few weeks the topic of disordered sex was the focus, and how our ignorance about God, how our disdain for God, and our own misguided acts can be major factors to our own demise as individuals and the world community, and how they have been through time. I have discussed the causes and results of disordered sex, abuse of sex, and the misuse of sex in those podcasts. My monologues, I believe, totally support the fact that all of the above sexual activities are great contributors to emotional, physical, mental, and societal

Disordered Sex And Spiritual Consequences

Dina LaFargue Augustin 1:41

dysfunctions and illnesses that people experience today. Yes, there are lists and lists of sins that we commit, whether we really think they're sinful or not. There are many acts that we commit that are violations to mankind that hurt others, that destroy society, that hurt God or are violations to God and to ourselves. However, I do focus on sexual activity because it is one of the most common sins committed on a regular basis. It is a very dangerous sin that exposes individuals to spiritual invasions, loss of power, exchanges of energy and power and authority, among other things. With disordered sex, misuse of sex, and its abuses, we can be sickened in our emotions, thoughts, physicality, and in society when we partake in casual sexual activities or disorder of any kind. If one does enough research, it can be proven that frivolous sexual activity, casual sex, and sex outside of marriage rarely contributes any true value to society or one's personal life. Sure, in the short term, on the surface of things, everything might seem just fine, but there is a soul factor, a spiritual factor that is always in play. Everything matters. Everything we say or do matters. Our thoughts matter. And every culture and people are tied to a point of reverence about life in relationship to the world, and a relationship to how important our thoughts are, positive thinking is, and positive behavior is, and how it impacts the universe, eternity, and the hereafter, whether we be atheist or not. With that said, let me define what religion is. Dictionary.com says religion is a structured system of beliefs, practices, rituals, and symbols designed to facilitate closeness to sacred or divine powers. It often provides a moral code, answers questions about the universe's purpose, and fosters community, generally focusing on theistic worship or ultimate existential concerns. Atheism is designed or defined as the absence of belief in deities or the rejection of their existence. While generally not considered a formal religion, it is sometimes described

Defining Religion And Atheism

Dina LaFargue Augustin 4:25

as one because it holds a belief system or worldview based on naturalism. Atheism indeed maintains a view of one's relationship to the world and the universe, even though it may be without tradition or practices or belief in a cosmic god or gods. Hence, I mention religion because many people will have ideas about sex, sexual relationships, and our practices based on culture, which is formed through religion most times. So I guess my point today is to provide enough information that all my listeners will seriously consider their worldview, your worldview about who you are and why you are, a believer or not, that you will become more aware of your identity and who and what is most important in life. Because I believe in reality nothing is just about us. We are not alone. The world is a community, and in actuality we are born to fulfill a purpose, and that purpose is to the Lord. Keep listening. When Adam and Eve were made and created, it was with intent, and that intent carried purpose, power, dominion, and authority. Following is Adam and Eve's creation history as written in Genesis chapter two. Then God said, Let us make man in our image according to our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created men in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female

Why Worldview Shapes Our Choices

Dina LaFargue Augustin 6:20

he created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth. And so Adam and Eve did for a time. However, things changed, and they both fell out of grace. When Adam

Genesis Creation Purpose And Dominion

Dina LaFargue Augustin 6:52

and Eve committed that egregious error of eating from the tree of knowledge, that decision and act was totally contrary to their purpose, power, authority, and the original intent for which God had made them. That decision and act was thoughtful and intentional by Adam and Eve. It was an act of rebellion, betrayal, mistrust, disorder, and arrogance. It was the first self-centered act that was written or probably committed by man at that point. Now let's read in Genesis chapter three as the history continues. So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, which was Adam, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. End of quote. That's Genesis Chapter 3 verse. 6. Hence

The Fall Begins With Desire

Dina LaFargue Augustin 8:09

the desire to fulfill a curiosity in Adam and Eve, or may I say mostly Eve, imagined need. Or just a want. Yes, as we see the world's condition today. That desire to fill their curiosity or imagined need or their want has been disastrous for not just them, but for the entire world, for death indeed entered in. As we know it, everything dies. Adam and Eve put their own desires for more before purpose. Their decision was evidence of their disconnect with God. Adam and Eve forgot who they were and set aside their intimate relationship with God. After all, God had communed with them regularly, and if you read those chapters, it will become rather apparent. So why was that fruit from that tree so desirable that Eve specifically would at risk everything and Adam would follow? Was their motive perhaps to rule better, to do more or to have more, to serve God better? Whatever the true motive was, it was outside of God's will, even if they thought more knowledge would be more beneficial, but it was not God's will. So I ask you, how often do we think we are serving a plausible and virtuous purpose, never even considering if it's God's will or if God matters in it? How often do we think because our intentions or motives are good, that what we do is justifiable? It's something that we must really think about. My point is this that moment in the garden where Eve stooped down, she stepped out of position to listen to a lesser creature, the serpent. And that was the beginning of the imbalance in the world. That moment where Eve set aside her authority and dominion was the moment when there was imbalance, when the voice of the serpent became more important or more valuable, and seemed to carry more weight than the warning and the command that God had given them. Adam ate next, and after that all authority was lost. Adam and Eve had essentially

Listening To Lesser Voices

Dina LaFargue Augustin 10:46

forgotten their position, who they were, why they were. They were slack in their responsibilities. They betrayed God, deceived themselves into thinking that what they wanted was defensible and legitimate. After all, weren't they world leaders? But leaders do have a responsibility to care for and make decisions for the benefit of their kingdom, not just self. So let's review what happens next. So God enters the garden and calls for them. And Adam responds. So He said in verse 10; And he, God said to Adam, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat? Then the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the tree and I ate. And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? Genesis three thirteen continues. The woman said, The serpent deceived me and

Blame Shifting And The Serpent’s Curse

Dina LaFargue Augustin 12:01

I ate. So the Lord God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle and more than every beast of the field. Based on the context and the fact that God cursed the serpent, I wholeheartedly believe the beast had limbs prior to this conversation with Eve, but allow Satan to speak through him. My point? Because God referred to the serpent as now being lower than the cattle and the beast of the field. But Satan was a fallen angel, not made a beast. Satan had already been ousted from God's presence and thrown to the earth before Adam and Eve were in the garden. I hope you're following me. I'm trying to help you visualize what happened with Adam and Eve, who was essentially speaking to him, to them, and who was being used, and how crafty Satan really was and is. Now in Revelation 12, verses 7 and 8, to support my position, it says, a war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So here we have it. Satan was kicked out of heaven, being referred to as the dragon, and was kicked out of heaven, no longer being able to reside there. Hence, the serpent. It was the body and mind of the serpent that allowed Satan to take advantage.

Satan’s Fall And Deception Strategy

Dina LaFargue Augustin 13:49

The serpent's will created the opportunity for Satan to converse with Eve. And it was the serpent's submission to Satan that led him to be punished, to suffer the impact of sin, and be despised of mankind. Contextual interpretation, the serpent's ability to speak, his intellectual craftiness, and the seed prophecy led to the traditional understanding that Satan indeed used or inhabited a creature, a creature who would now crawl on his belly and eat the dust of the earth. The serpent, essentially inhabited by Satan, sinned against his true nature. First, Satan and his ability to transform himself used all of them against themselves and ultimately against God. So as we continue and as we look at this history, what could Satan really lose? After all, he was already banished from the heavens. Well, Satan essentially gained authority over the earth by his deception. He gained authority over everything, but his ultimate consequence is that his rule would only be temporary, for when all is said and done, Satan will suffer unending punishment, first in the pit and ultimately in the lake of fire, which can be read in the Bible in the book of Revelation, chapter 20, verses two and three. And it says, And he sees the dragon, that ancient serpent, who was the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it, and sealed it over him so that he might not deceive the nations any longer until the thousand years were ended. Verse ten And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Listen, it was indeed as God said, Eve's seed would crush him. Eve seed being man, and that man will be Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ being fully God, coming into the earth as a man, hence being fully man to turn everything around and bring it back to God's original intention. Revelation

Satan’s Temporary Rule And Final Judgment

Dina LaFargue Augustin 16:23

chapter 19, verses eleven through sixteen reads, Then I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse. The one sitting on it is called faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.

The Seed Promise And Jesus Revealed

Dina LaFargue Augustin 16:38

His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many deadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is the word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses, and from his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty, and on his robe and on his side he has a name written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. And who is that word of God? The living word Jesus Christ, who can be read in John chapter one, the living word became flesh. In summation, follow the order. We have the fall of Satan being banished by Michael from heaven. We have the creation of Adam and Eve. We have the intrusion of Satan in the garden. We have the deception of Satan in the serpent against Adam and Eve. We have Eve's deception, their submission to Satan, their fall, and the subsequent consequences of sin, which naturally comes with the violation of God's order and principles of the kingdom. Now with that said, let's look at Adam and Eve's dire and tragic consequences. Genesis chapter 3 continues. To the woman God said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception. In pain you shall bring forth children, and your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you. Then to Adam, he God said, Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying you should not eat of it, cursed is the ground for your sake, and toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life, both

Consequences Of Sin In Relationships

Dina LaFargue Augustin 18:57

thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the herb of the field, and the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, til you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken, for dust you are, and to dust you shall return. In the website Gotquestions dot com, the result of Adam and Eve's sin is this, and many Bible scholars concur, the desire for control. Many scholars, such as John Piper, explain this desire that Eve will have for her husband is not as romantic longing, but as a desire to control, usurp, and dominate the husband. And I think we have a lot of evidence in the world of that fact. The response of domination, he shall rule over you, indicates that men will respond with harsh authority or manipulation to maintain that control rather than loving leadership. Hence more evidence of the imbalance. Relational conflict, the article goes on to say, this verse is generally interpreted to mean that marriages will be marked by tension, with wives trying to take charge and husbands trying to maintain and hold power. The contextual example, some interpretations do suggest this is a consequence of the fall, describing how sin corrupts relationships, leading to a dynamic of desire to rule and rule to manage, hence imbalance, hence disorder. How else could the imbalance manifest in Adam and Eve? They were born or made in God's image with gifts, with talents, with Eve to be his helpmate, to co-collaborate and to uh cooperate with one another in authority and dominion over the earthly realm. So, how would sin manifest? In that disorder, in competition, in authoritative or punitive control. As I've contemplated, the curses and consequences of sin are duly noted and definitely hard to swallow. The altered order and communion between Adam and Eve is interpreted as a curse from God, specifically a consequence or judgment pronounced by God following the fall of humanity. It is not considered part of God's original creation plan, but a disrupted, sinful reality of strained relations, broken harmony, and in some interpretations a struggle for power or control within the marriage. It is definitely a result of violating godly order and God's commands. There are always consequences whether we can see them, feel them, taste them, or touch them immediately. In Reddit, the article and the dialogue discusses this. The first point it makes, a curse or consequence, as a part of the passage where God directly addresses the consequences of sin, this verse between Adam and Eve and God describes a shift in relational dynamics from equality to conflict. The desire conflict, the desire mention is often interpreted not as affection from Eve towards Adam, but as desire for control or to dominate the husband, akin to the desire of sin in Genesis 4, chapter 7. Please read that, which is met by the husband's urge to dominate. The next point, the rule - the husband's rule as seen as a broken, often authoritarian form of leadership rather than the loving, egalitarian partnership intended in Genesis chapter 2, leading to ongoing power struggles. Alternative view - some interpretations do focus less on struggle and more on the broken, painful yet inescapable nature of female dependence on a husband who may mistreat her in a fallen world. In summary, it's all sad. This declaration marks the breakdown of the harmonious partnership designed in Genesis 2, making the conflict a direct outcome of the introduction of sin into the world. Okay, yes, some societies and cultures are managing today better than others. Some were managing better before colonization. But when any society misuses and concentrates power in any one gender, especially when not grounded in moral responsibility and mutual respect, they often produce imbalances, especially leaving women vulnerable to exploitation or abuse.

Culture Power Imbalance And Vulnerability

Dina LaFargue Augustin 24:10

In many patrilineal cultures, as I've mentioned and researched in past podcasts, when women must consistently fight for their dignity, safety, and voice, it reveals not just social injustice, but a deeper moral disorder and how relationships between men and women are structured, or I say have been corrupted because of sin. Men, women should not have to fight for their own protection, their own space, their own ability to navigate their intelligence, desires, and ambitions. I'm not a feminist. But listen, doesn't this sound like the imbalance that is a result of sin when one group is marginalized over another out of ego and fear? Historically and biblically, God intervened when men started to go too far. God destroyed communities and flooded the world when mankind became too perverse in nature, subsequently violating their own bodies, kingdom order, godly order, God's authority, and God as creator and king. My conclusion has been communicated. It seems that cultures built on disordered, ungodly relationships become toxic societies. How do define ungodly? Well, we know mostly every society has its own beliefs about God or gods or religion, for lack of a better term. But I make reference to the God of Adam and Eve, the God who made us from the dust of the earth, his own breath and in his image, the one who created male and female with authority and dominion over all creation, the one who designed us with differing strengths, roles, and traits with the intent to be equalizers, balanced co-collaborators, a team working as individuals but in sync with one another, cooperatively again, recognizing the vitality, strength, and value of the other. That was the mandate. It wasn't until the couple sinned against God that disorder entered, death entered, murder, and all other perversions of life entered the world. And anything we read about in the Bible after Genesis chapter 2 is a history of that sin. It is a history of God's mercy, it is a history of God's intervention, and a history of God's unending, everlasting love for a world that is filled with pride, arrogance, and rebellion against a holy and loving God. Hence, the relationship between God and mankind became tumultuous, riddled with strife, jealousy, evil, betrayal, mistrust, and unbelief. The ultimate rebellion. How sad is it when humans thirst for all the wrong things when everything was going so well in the beginning? If one even dares to read the Bible with a listening heart and an open mind and an awareness that this history is real, then one will begin to understand the ills of the world and the value of establishing a relationship with the Father God of all creation. Then one will recognize the truth,

Human Nature Corrupted And Why Christ Came

Dina LaFargue Augustin 27:32

that being, the Word of God, Jesus Christ. So consider the history I have shared and consider the intent of God and our true nature and purpose in this world. Human nature was not originally sin nature. We were originally created as humans, really superhumans, with a soul, a body, and a spirit. Our bodies looked differently then. We thought differently then. We could do differently then. But we became corrupted out of our own undoing. We corrupted God's image in us and inherited a sin nature. And that sin nature has multiplied in the world exponentially, and with each generation it seems to get worse with more atrocities created day after day after day. But Jesus came that we may have life and that abundantly. We now do not have to toil under the laws to do this or that. We are not to live by the law of love. The law of God, which is the law of love. God is love and that was demonstrated on the cross and that death and resurrection from that death turned everything around that indeed makes us capable of living as God originally intended. Romans chapter 8 verses 1-39 read, Therefore now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus, from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. Let me say, flesh meaning sin nature, spirit meaning God nature. Hence, we are free from the curse of death. In Christ Jesus we have been washed in His blood and cleansed of the sin inherited at birth. We are free from the ownership a nd authority of satan. And God, by His spirit and His power enables us to overcome every temptation of satan. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemns sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the spirit set their minds on the things of the spirit. Let me say flesh meaning sin nature, spirit meaning God nature. Hence, we are free from the curse of death. In Christ Jesus

Life In The Spirit Versus Sin Nature

Dina LaFargue Augustin 30:15

we have been washed in his blood and cleansed of the sin inherited at birth. We are free from the ownership and authority of Satan. And God by His Spirit and His power enables us to overcome every temptation of Satan. 1 John 4:4-6 ESV read, Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. .

Dina LaFargue Augustin 31:10

No, there is a spirit of truth, which is of God, of Jesus Christ, powered by the Holy Spirit, and the spirit of error, which is that sin nature which comes from the kingdom of darkness. So if we are listening to the voice of God, the men and women of God who operate under the authority of God, then we will know truth and we will hear truth and respond to truth. Remember, in the introduction of this podcast, I spoke about knowing who and why we are and the significance of understanding who Jesus is and how he has the power to change all of our lives for the better if we just receive him. Let me share an excerpt from the article, "What the Bible says about fixing the world on growingforlife.net's website. It says, but we have to recognize that without Christ we can do nothing, that any good that we accomplish is through God alone. And God does graciously choose to use us in this world to accomplish His purposes. He has clearly set out good works for us to do and we are to faithfully go about doing His business. The verses that are used to support that argument are John chapter 15 verses

Abide In Christ And Love As Command

Dina LaFargue Augustin 32:38

5 and Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8 through 10. Essentially, we are made by God, we are made for God, and apart from God, we can do nothing of true value that serves Him, or really ourselves in the long run. All else that we do serves the enemy of our soul who has corrupted us from the beginning. John chapter 15, to me, is one of the most important verses because those verses remind me of who we are to be in God and what we are to do in him, and that without him nothing matters, and that without him we remain in the hands and under the devices of Satan who will burn in the lake of fire. And we will be there with him unless. I will read down chapter 15, starting in verse four, "Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself, it must remain on the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remain in me, and I in you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this, love each other as I have loved you. For greater love has no one than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead I have called you friends, for everything that I've learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command. Love each other." Love is the command. Love is the law, and I have found in my life, as I've sought the Lord, have I read the scriptures, have I as I've allowed myself to submit to him, to his authority in my life, decision making has become much easier. Dealing

Invitation To Receive Jesus And Find Peace

Dina LaFargue Augustin 36:03

with strife has become much easier. Navigating life has become all the better. I can't put into words how much better I feel, how how confident I am in navigating through life because I know I can always confer with God, I can always submit to God, I can always say, "your will, but not my will," knowing that whatever He does through me is the best for me and the best for anyone involved in my life or that I relate to or work with. There is no other way. Listen to the following scriptures and read them in the transcripts. Meditate on their meaning so that you can develop either a renewed relationship with Jesus or accept him as your personal Lord and Savior, allowing him to love you, well, he loves you anyway, but allowing that love to come into your heart and lead you through this life, bringing you into his perfect peace and in the confidence and knowing that he is with you forever and ever and ever and will never leave you nor forsake you. Yes, this world is full of troubles, but God is ultimately in control. And the more we look to him, the safer we will feel, the safer we will be, despite any turmoil or warfare or war in the world, because we will know with confidence who we are, why we are, and who belong who we belong to, and ultimately that we have life eternal in his precious, loving, and holy presence. And yes, we are made holy because in accepting him we are set apart, no longer condemned to hopelessness and loss, no longer condemned to an eternal fire away from his presence, no longer longing for him, or being separated from him eternally, but forever being a part of him, with him, in him in truth and love and eternal peace and purpose. For Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. And no one can come to the Father or to that eternal place but through Jesus, and by receiving Christ as Lord and Savior, and hence receiving the Holy Spirit as your comforter and teacher who will dwell within as we journey here on this earth. So we heard what happened with Adam and Eve, and now we're going to hear why Jesus had to come as a man. One point to save sinners, for the Son of Man came to

Reasons Jesus Came And Final Charge

Dina LaFargue Augustin 38:51

seek and to save the lost. That's in Luke chapter 19. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. First Timothy chapter one verse 15. To give us eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John three, verse sixteen. To serve and to ransom. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. That's Mark chapter ten verse forty five. To destroy the devil's works. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work, 1st John chapter 3:8. To give us abundant life. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. That's John chapter ten, verse ten. To bear witness to truth. For this purpose I was born, and for this person purpose I have come into the world to bear witness to the truth. That's John chapter 18, verse 37. To reveal God's loving nature. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being. Hebrews chapter 1, verse 3. That's a powerful voice demonstrating Jesus being fully God, fully man. Next, to do the Father's will, for I've come down from heaven not to do my will, but to do the will of Him who sent me. That's John chapter 6, verse 38. To bring light. I have come into this world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. That's John chapter 12, verse 46. To heal the brokenhearted. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverence the captives, to set at liberty them that are bruised. That's Luke chapter 4:13, I'm sorry. that's Luke 5 verse 18. So whoever is down trodden, broken hearted, traumatized has hope, has freedom and deliverance at least in mind, emotion and spirit, by the Truth and the presence of the Lord God Almighty. His mission, a Substitutionary Atonement: Jesus took on human form to die for sins (1 Peter 2:24 and Hebrews 2:14). Reconciliation,

Dina LaFargue Augustin 41:29

remember we were separated from God under Satan's authority, reconciling humanity with God. 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 19. Reign and victory. Remember, we had all authority and dominion in this earth. And it says, appearing as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, God being the king of all kings, we being kings in this earthly realm, and he being the Lord of Lords, us being lords in this earthly realm. That's Revelation chapter 17, verse 14. There are many verses, many verses for us to read and to contemplate. So I pray that in considering your lifestyle and considering how you make decisions and considering how you relate to others and considering how you negotiate this life and how you deal with trauma, how you handle problems and difficult people, that you will consider the original and natural intent that God had towards us and how we can live as overcomers. Because the Lord God says, we are always victorious because we are victorious in Christ Jesus through the power of his resurrection and accepting him as Lord and Savior. So, the quality of our life can be the utmost. We can live above because we are above. When we accept Christ Jesus, we sit in high places because we become part of him. We are the head and not the tail, and the enemy is to be put beneath our feet. So, let us consider our mindset and our thought life, for that matters. In closing, be blessed, be in him, be knowledgeable of him, know who you are, be who God created you to be, and do what he created you to do. Truth Drips.
