If you were to ask yourself an honest question about these things, could you give yourself an honest answer?
So, let me ask: When the time comes, when we have to do without all these things of convenience, (because the day is coming), what will YOU do? How will you respond and act?
Do you think you would suffer from withdrawl's? Could you live without Facebook?
What about video games on facebook, where you can make a farm and cook food and you can live your nice little pretend life through these video games as well as games such as World of Warcraft and Call of Duty and The Sims? They have you hooked...if you play these games, you will most likely be in denial that you are hooked. I too once played these games and now my eye's are opened. Your eye's need to be opened too. Sure we all love to escape from the troubles of life and escape and pretend all is well in the world from time to time. However, are there not other ways to cope? That would be more beneficial?
We are a spoiled rotten people. I would bet people would act like spoiled brats. If Facebook was taken away, there would be a void because you wouldn't have that empty rectangular box starring you in the face waiting for you to fill it with your feelings and emotion or whatever you use it to say. We need to ween ourselves from these things. Our minds need to prepare for when someone hits the switch and these things do not matter anymore! The fact is that time is coming. It's not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. For example, if a huge Solar Flare knocked out all the power in the world or the Government were to shut the net down and all of our cell phone's were out, and it was going to be a forever type of thing, we would be in a state of shock and anger all because we suddenly are forced to do without Technology. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
My point is people are so programmed and they don't even know it. They envy everything in the world. They long to have the most up to date gadgets. It's a lust to have the most shiniest car's and jewelry and flashy clothing. We expect and want everything to be beautiful. We want the best of everything. The fact is we live in a world where it is acceptable to be materialistic.
Well my friends, we need to break away from this thought process. Why? Because we are addicted to it all and when we die, none of this STUFF can come with us where we are going. There is no need for it. If you think you are going to Heaven, you will not be taking anything with you. If you go to Hell, you will not be taking anything with you. If you believe your just going to die and go into the ground or be burnt up, you will not be taking anything with you. If you were to leave all of you belongings to someone you love, all your doing is giving materialistic things to someone else feeding the materialistic addiction of those loved one's...and when they pass away- they will not be taking those things with them. Things are just that- THINGS! The most important things in life are not THINGS! Here is what God's word say's about the THINGS in the world, please read it carefully and dwell on it, please let it simmer in your heart:
1 John Chapter 2:15-29
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
26These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
The one think I want to stress here is especially about video games. If you enjoy playing these games on Facebook or online gaming, how far do you honestly take it? Is someone always nagging at you because they claim you play too much or don't spend enough time with them? Does it get on your nerves when they ask you to get off to spend time with them? Maybe they have a point? I have no problem with video games if time is prioritized. But if you are playing it all day long or even half a day, don't you think you could be paying someone some love and attention who misses you at this very moment? See, you may not see it, but these games are finding ways to hook you in. They know life is stressful. They know if they can design the game to get you hooked, you would go as far to pay for some of these games. Money pits. Lining the video game companies pockets, they get rich off of you and you don't even see it. If you think its cute to build and design your own restaurant, or design your own farm, consider going out in real life and doing those things. What is stopping you? Many don't realize this the Illuminati is behind all of these things....I know you may not want to accept that but it is true...if you don't know anything about the Illuminati or know very little, I urge you to go dig deep and research it because they are everywhere. You will be surprised to see how much they are up in your life. It's time to wake up and do something about it. Please don't just turn your cheek the other way.
I say all this to get you thinking. To get you to face reality and truth. Everything has it's pro's and con's. Do you use your computer for good or evil? Do you sign on to Facebook or Youtube to share good word's or evil word's or images? How many times a day do you see someone on your friends list with cuss words in their status? Seriously, take one week and count each and every day...come up with the average what you see. How many times to you see pictures of people raising the middle finger? Count those too. How many times do you see teenagers and even adults snapping pictures of themselves posing half naked? How many times do you see Gossip on your friend's satus? How many times a day or week do you see dirty laundry so to speak on your friend's status? If you were to compare good/postive messages on your friend's status's versus bad/negative messages and keep it real...I would bet you Negativity wins. People tend to treat Facebook like a diary. Sharing important information is one thing, but using drama or gossip as a status needs to be recognized for what it is and it needs change. How can we make a difference in the world if we contribute to the negative stuff? We should be encouraging positive uplifting things on there. Negativity breeds negativity. Positivity breeds positivity. I would also like to mention that KID'S and TEEN'S also get on there- we as adults should be setting example's. The cussing and gossiping should not be tolerated. We should be better than that.
