A friend of mine once said, "Christianity is just too hard". I didn't know she had gone back to her old life. She was one of the popular kids in high school, she was always the center of attention in any room she walked into, she was beautiful. She loved the attention of others. It filled "a need in her life to be loved".
As human beings we all have this tremendous need to be loved. There are many ways to fill this need; Gambling, self love, the "lust" of another, drugs, music, sex, pornography, exercise, shopping, sports, watching movies, TV shows, a career, a set of rules given to us by someone, a teacher, a church, a club. The root of all these is the "Love of Money".
Kansas gave a scripture the other day on a challenge.
Ecc 5:7 Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.

Kansas used to love "Money". He had his own business and branched out from there. Many things filled his need to be loved, then he met God face to face and he saw true love in the eyes of God. He found all his dreaming and his "many thoughts and activities" were meaningless. He found the fear of God instead. Not a "bad" fear but a good fear. He saw how he had wasted so many years obtaining "money" but he was a slave to all of it. Money was his master he served money as his god/master he had sacrificed "himself", Everything good in him went to the wayside to fulfill this goal. He realized how lost he was, confused, mislead. He saw how so many people controlled and manipulated him and he had no power to defend himself!
The shadow forces behind the New World Order (NWO) are following a slow-paced agenda of total control over mankind and our planet’s resources. David Icke coined it the “Totalitarian Tip-Toe,” because “they” are making very small steps towards our complete and definitive enslavement.
As a result, the masses remain relatively unaware of the fact that their liberties are being gradually taken away, while the power of the NWO octopus grows steadily.
He discovered it wasn't his fault! Evil
"forces" had been working against the "good" that was always in him even before his was born!
We have heard one of these forces called "Peer Pressure". There is "a power force" that works against our souls. Causing
***Great FEAR!*****
God's Love is the ONLY thing that can
destroy this fear and it's POWER!
***Great FEAR!*****
God's Love is the ONLY thing that can

More powerful than ourselves. We need God to empower us so we do not succumb, (fall down,) to the
"forces" pressuring our soul. ie "I have to go to school," "I have to have a job." "I have to have money"
Ephesians 6:12 New American Standard Bible
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against ****"the world forces" ****of this darkness, against the spiritual ****"forces"****** of wickedness, evil in the heavenly places."

Power to Overcome:
John 16:33 (AMP)
33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the (forces)world.”[With the power of the Holy Spirit; My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
Jesus said:Holman Christian Standard Bible
Luke 24:49 And look, I am sending you what My Father promised. As for you, stay in the city until you are empowered from on high."
Acts 2 (AMP)
The Day of Pentecost
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place,2 and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 There appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were being distributed [among them], and they rested on each one of them [as each person received the Holy Spirit]. 4 And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other [b]tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately].

| Kansas for Pres! |
Kansas some wonderful scripture and explanations of what a Godly life looks like.
http://isaiah58ministries.blogspot.com/2015/11/can-men-fulfill-their-godly-calling-to.html
Kansas did not come to these "truths" on his own. We cannot heal ourselves. It is God and his power that sets us free. Any good we have is "all" "God". We are no longer in control as masters of our own lives.
But God is now the Master, Lord, King and we just do what he tells us to do.
We obey Jesus Christ. We read the Bible then as lead by the "Holy Spirit" we are able to obey the Bible. You cannot just read the Bible and obey it, it takes the power of God. The Bible without the Power of the Holy Spirit, The Bible without understanding, knowledge, God's love etc: KILLS: hurts you and others.
1 Peter 2:16 (ESV)16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as slaves of God.
1 Corinthians 8:9-13 (AMP)
9 Only be careful that this liberty of yours [this power to choose] does not somehow become a stumbling block [that is, a temptation to sin] to the weak [in conscience]. 10 For if someone sees you, a person having knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, then if he is weak, will he not be encouraged to eat things sacrificed to idols [and violate his own convictions]? 11 For through your knowledge (spiritual maturity) this weak man is ruined [that is, he suffers in his spiritual life], the brother for whom Christ died. 12 And when you sin against the brothers and sisters in this way and wound their weak conscience [by confusing them], you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if [my eating a certain] food causes my brother to stumble (sin), I will not eat [such] meat ever again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

Kansas lead by the Holy Spirit with the knowledge that God, The Holy Spirit and Jesus loved him started to see the truth. With the truth and God's love he remembered where the lies came from and turned from the person, action or lie towards God and his love. The lie, pain, suffering, broken heartedness, brokenness, sin would turn from evil to "health","good", "happiness", comfort, love and power; the end result is "sound mindedness".
