         Christmas Cookies.  Yep Christmas Cookies.  You make up the dough then let it sit in the refrigerator over night, so the shortening hardens and it is easier to roll out.  Once you roll out the cookie dough you take cookie cutters and press them into the dough out pops a raw cookie.  Put the cookies in the oven for no more than 10 minutes or they will burn because they  are pretty thin.  When they come out of the oven you can paint them, sprinkle them, use frosting on them.  The are so many things you can do with a sugar cookie.  Inside they  all taste the same.

     

When society is so "social" we all have become these pressed out cookies.   We paint ourselves, dress our selves "out", have our own personal "Style" but inside we are all the same.   Going to public school does this to us.  Public school is a "pressure" put on our minds, spirits and bodies.

 

   Most people I know have nightmares about hurrying up, fear of missing the school bus. Riding a school bus every day isn't natural,it is traumatic.  Most of us have some terrible memory of  not doing well at school or some embarrassing moment comes back to haunt us over and over again. When God created human beings he did not put in them a coping mechanism for "group" living.


 Public schools "house"  hundreds of people at a time. A private home, at the most, only has about 10 to 12 people on average, without contraceptives and grand parents living with children.

     

Way too thin, conforming to the norm!

   Human beings were not born in an "institution" nor born  to be put into  an "institution".  We are born free. Selfish, evil men want to "put us in institutions"  just like men put animals in zoos.  They do this to "domesticate" us, to train us into preforming to their cues they give us. The cues are anything visual and audio, mostly it is the human voice or face, a thing an object, a TV commercial, or a movie, or to music.




     TV, Music, businesses, commercial, movies, sports,  governments also "pressure", press us into being a certain way.   What most of what we believe has been "pressed" into us by an unseen force.

      Adults and children think they are being in rebellion.  To be in rebellion is to be a sociopath.

so·ci·o·path

  

 noun Psychiatry. a person with a psychopathic personality whose behavior is antisocial, often criminal, and who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social
 conscience.

Psychopathy (/saɪˈkɒpəθi/) (or sociopathy /ˈsoʊsiəˌpæθi/) is traditionally defined as a personality disorder characterized by enduring antisocial behavior, diminished empathy and remorse, and disinhibited or bold behavior. It may also be defined as a continuous aspect of personality, representing scores on different personality dimensions found throughout the population in varying combinations. The definition of psychopathy has varied significantly throughout the history of the concept; different definitions continue to be used that are only partly overlapping and sometimes appear contradictory.^[1]

   

Conforming to social pressure

   Most high school students today say things like "I'm an anarchist."  They have tattoos, piercings, wear clothes with sculls and cross bones, listen to music that isn't music.  They say things like "I'm independent", "I'm in rebellion", but they are just like everyone else.  What happens is the pressure put on them through their childhood causes them, (us), to conform to the world and the people around us.  We do not know this is happening. 

The devils prisoner! Slave to sin that dwells within!

 Even the people putting pressure on people are "forced" to do it by unseen forces inside them.  Christians call this pressure "sin".  It is an unseen force. TV news is a great example. Who do you think puts out the major news stations? Why do they run the stories they run? It's not for the good of the citizens- it's to get ratings and to conform to the political ideology of whoever owns the station. 

     

I'm an individual, I did what he did! Conform to social pressure

  A lot of people learn this in college. There is a "force" or pressure on them to use this information, (mind control), to cause others to do things they want them to do.  

    Christians call this "brain washing", or witch craft, putting a spell on someone's mind.  It is also hypnotism.  

Hearing the same thing over and over.

We are all hypnotized in one degree or another and the choices we make are actually not made with our own free will.

 Hearing the same thing over and over hypnotizes us. Advertising is a form of hypnotism. All those jingles stuck in your head.. J E L L O... you can hear the song, even see Bill Cosby playing with jello jigglers. The Government uses this, the courts also, schools, etc. 






It is prevalent in everything, even when you speak to your children or families you are passing on this brainwashing that did not come naturally from God.

     

When under a spell or hypnotism, you do not know it.  

     

 You think it is you thinking. You think your thoughts are from your own "sound mind", but it is actually someone else controlling your mind.  Men have been studying mind control since the beginning of time and in our immoral society, why shouldn't they?

     

They have no consciousnesses of the existence of God and eternal punishment, so they can do whatever they want and never feel any guilt  or remorse for what they have done.

     

     So in today's society in order to be in rebellion you have to actually hear God speaking to you by his Spirit!  He will bring you love, power and a sound mind! But it's only listening to God that we can have a sound mind.  If you want to boast and brag that you are in rebellion; "no one can tell you what to do"; you turn from everyone else and stop conforming to what's popular, in style, modern, cool. Do the opposite and join up with God, listen to God.

     

      So rebels stop conforming to societies brainwashing and hypocrisy, become a real rebel.......   God will set you free............

     Jesus brings real peace to our soul.  Conforming feels like peace because people leave you alone.  What is the cost?  Your "self", your freedom. You have just become someone else's slave, patsy, lackey!  God will give you real direction, real love, real freedom, independence.  With God you become really unique, they'll be no one else like you!

               God will turn you into another kind of cookie, different than everyone else.   This will get people to give you the attention you crave so bad. People will really notice you then!!  You'll "shock" everyone you meet!!

A Living Sacrifice

Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

Instructions for Christian Households

Ephesians 5:21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” [32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
