It has been said every man is a king and his home is his castle unless he fails to pay his property taxes. Spiritually do we rule over what we think or does our thoughts rule over us. Greetings. I Samuel 8:5 and say that to him behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. Man wants a physical king to rule over him and through his own wisdom thinks he can rule over God’s word. And why would man think such an evil thought? Because we are the children of the devil and are perverted, thus judging the scripture by what we think they mean. Acts 13:10and said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease        to pervert the right ways of the Lord? When we pervert spiritually, we change God’s way or Laws to an interpretation that flatters us or spiritually goes our way. Samuel walked in the ways of the Lord, yet his sons did not, and they perverted judgment. 1 Samuel 8:3  And his sons walked in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, took brides, and perverted judgment. The Bible is God’s book of judgment against what’s in hidden in the hearts of men. We all have perverted God judgment by making it say something Inherently good about our nature, which is a lie. Isaiah 30:12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon. We will be quick to say that we never oppressed anybody or despise God's word, but when we believe there isn’t a greater hidden wisdom in God’s words: we oppress the truth and despise Him. We trust in our own wisdom or counsel, which is cleverly disguised even to us: as God's wisdom. Proverbs 1:30 they would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Samuel was displeased with his people and God is displease with us when we reject the Holy Ghost counsel on His word. 1 Samuel 8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord.  We also pray, Lord give us more of our own fleshly devilish wisdom to judge your word by! Please!!!! 1 Samuel 8:9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. God Hearkens to our voice and gives us the desires of our wicked heart, more fleshly devilish wisdom: something that cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. 1 Samuel 8:11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. Now I will take the liberty of having been in these Synagogues of Satan for over 20 years, the matter of Pastors that will reign over you. They will take your sons and have them work their ministries for free; hold all women conferences and exclude the men, thus they can manipulate the women for more money. Shall we go on? They will tell you who to vote for in political elections as if God was a Republican or Democrat. They will shame you in front of their congregation for having loved the woman and giving birth to a child and them their selves will impregnate their own wife’s niece. Samuel 8:14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. He will demand that you honor them with monies on Pastor appreciation day, first lady appreciation day, Founders appreciation day, new building projects and your W2 form of course. I have seen were people physically move closer to their local Pastor’s Church whom they have chosen, and the Pastor physically dies on the job. Such people justify and say God took the guy because God had a greater work for them in heaven. Problem being they were spiritually dead already, and now physically. That Pastor loved his life in this world, and refuse to die the death that glorifies God: death to their mortal thinking concerning God words: only than do we become precious in God’s sight, when we laid down our live or mortal thinking. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. A Pastors or these modern-day Kings can never love the sheep when they refuse to lay down their lives or what they once thought the scriptures meant. John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. We can only become God’s friend when we spiritually understand the suffering and tribulation Jesus went through to overcome His life or will in this world. Luke 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. What is this agony we are commanded to go through, and it is nothing physical? Matthew 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.   Kings or Pastors want their will or interpretation to be done about the scriptures. The cup they will spiritually drink of, will be the cup of their own choosing. Revelation 14:10the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation.
