Perverse Behavior?

Humanity has been created in the image of our Abba, Father God, but we all have an innate sin nature. As we develop in life, good and bad choices are made. El Roi, sees it all. We all have a free will, Yahweh, the Lord God, does not override our free will or the will of those we pray for. Jehovah God graciously gives mankind spaces of repentance. Our Creator, Elohim often extends mercy, grace, love, compassion, healing, salvations, deliverance, favor, fulfilled promises, blessings, and forgiveness toward His creations. Our Heavenly Father wills that none would perish into eternal damnation. The gift of eternal life with Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and El Elyon; our God Most High in His kingdom is extended to all.

Some chose to reject the Lord God Almighty, El Olam, and rebel against the Sovereign Ruler; El Shaddai, and all other authority figures. Instead of choosing to be a member of the family of God, they elect to serve false idols, yield to fleshly desires, worship the Prince of this World, admire Lucifer, follow Satan, take the mark of The Beast, yield their will to The great Dragon, lower themselves to animal mindsets like the Serpent, obey The Tempter, abide with Beelzebub, enjoy committing acts that mimic the master of destruction, want to please the leader of the underworld, agree with murderers of innocent ones, gather with others that are thieves of valuable things, take blood oaths with evil conspirators, exemplify the Father of lies, dominate others alongside the Pride-filled One, walk in agreement with the selfish and lustful Coveter, become Covenant and Law breakers, bully the weak, and are mentees of the Evil One and the Wicked Ruler.

Jude 1:4 New International Version

For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. Any individual that is hell bent on perishing into an eternality of torment, brimstone, fire, and punishment; Revelation 21: 11-15 speaks more about God's judgment 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. The Judge of all mankind, SEE Romans 2:16; God with Us (Emmanuel, Immanuel) allows them to experience that desire.

 Isaiah 5:18- 25 Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, And sin as if with a cart rope;¹⁹ That say, “Let Him make speed and hasten His work, That we may see it; And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, That we may know it.” ²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, prudent in their own sight! ²² Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,²³ Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man! ²⁴ Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.²⁵ Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people; has stretched out His hand against them, And stricken them,

Woe, unto all believers, let us not judge others until we have truly examined ourselves regarding hidden areas of perverse behaviors. Matthew 7:1-5  “Judge not, that you be not judged. ² For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. ³ And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? ⁴ Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? ⁵ Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Are you looking in the mirror and seeing things you do not like?  SEE Romans 2; God's Righteous Judgment

What choices have you made regarding transformation from darkness to light?

Romans 12:1,2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. ² And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Be alert, sober, watchful, prayerful, and sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Luke 21: 34-36 ³⁴ “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. ³⁵ For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶ Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Be Aware, Deceivers will come, claiming to be what they are not, preaching a different gospel, and saying untrue things.

Mark 13:5,6 ⁵ And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. ⁶ For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

What does perverseness look like to you? Perverseness hidden, may appear as an angel of light but truly be demonic in nature.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

¹³ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. How many times have you refused to follow ungodly leaders or people who call good evil and evil good? Jeremiah 14: 13-15 ¹³ Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, the prophets say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.’ ” ¹⁴ And the Lord said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart. ¹⁵ Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not be in this land’—‘By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed!

What atmosphere do you think perverse individuals thrive in? John 8:12, 31-32 ¹² Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” ³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. ³² And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Act 26:13-18 ¹³ at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. ¹⁴ And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ ¹⁵ So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. ¹⁶ But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. ¹⁷ I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, ¹⁸ to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified ^{by faith in Me.’}

Do you think leaders in the House of God are capable of perverse behaviour? Jeremiah 7:30 ³⁰ For the children of Judah have done evil in My sight,” says the Lord. “They have set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to pollute it. ³¹ And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into My heart. SEE Also 2 Kings 23:

Are nations cursed or judged for their sinful acts? Zechariah 5:3-5 ³ Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.” ⁴ “I will send out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;“ It shall enter the house of the thief And the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. It shall remain in the midst of his house And consume it, with its timber and stones.”

What fruits do perverse people bear? Are you seeing more good fruit or more bad fruit in actions?

Matthew 7:15-20 ¹⁵ “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. ¹⁶ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? ¹⁷ Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. ¹⁸ A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. ¹⁹ Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ²⁰ Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Do you believe that because people are attending church, performing good community acts, flowing in spiritual gifting, giving to the unfortunate; that works alone will cause them to inherit eternal life in Heaven? Ephesians 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began. God's gifts are without repentance. Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. The Word of God states that not all who say Lord Lord and do works in His name will enter the kingdom of Heaven; Matthew 7: 21-23 ²¹ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. ²² Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ ²³ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

What does it feel like to be in the presence of someone unrighteous and demonstrating perverse characteristics?

What natural, musical, or animalistic sounds motivate perverse groups?

How would you describe what it feel like to be around a perverse, evil, or wicked person?

Have you ever wondered how to pray for those possessed, who to call for these deep spiritual warfare matters, how to protect yourself, or what to do when someone you love has surrendered their soul to the Prince of this World?

Do the perverse continuously have a worldly mindset, that is often set on worthless, impure, unclean things?

What about addressing the issue of the different Spirits that travel with perverse individuals?

The Holy Scriptures describes their desires as being filled with evil wicked deeds that manifest themselves in several different ways: Jeremiah 29:-22-24 ²² And because of them a curse shall be taken up by all the captivity of Judah who are in Babylon, saying, “The Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire”; ²³ because they have done disgraceful things in Israel, have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken lying words in My name, which I have not commanded them. Indeed I know, and am a witness, says the Lord:

What ungodly deeds would you consider perverse, abominations to our Lord God, or blasphemous?

?sexual sins, ignorance, stubbornness, greed, foolish behaviour and talk, inappropriate speech, dirty jokes, meaningless words, obscenity, and refusal to obey God?. A perverse human could have hidden anger issues, be driven to commit criminal acts, indulge in ungodly deeds, be hot-tempered, enjoy inflicting pain on others, have uncontrollable violent tendencies, refuse to acknowledge responsibility for sinful behavior, attack others verbally and emotionally when confronted with their deceptiveness, often indulge in wine and strong drink, sometimes worships wealth, refuse to be held accountable and acknowledge their shortcomings, will steal, has corrupt desires, most of their work is in the dark, and they love wild living; but worse of all, if they refuse to repent honestly, they will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Scriptures that identify perverse behavior are:

Exodus 23:1-9a “You shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. ² You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice. ³ You shall not show partiality to a poor man in his dispute. ⁴ “If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again. ⁵ If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it. ⁶ “You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute. ⁷ Keep yourself far from a false matter; do not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not justify the wicked. ⁸ And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous. ⁹ “Also you shall not oppress a stranger,

Judges 19:22-28a

²² As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!” ²³ But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not commit this outrage. ²⁴ Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man’s concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!” ²⁵ But the men would not heed him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and abused her all night until morning; and when the day began to break, they let her go. ²⁶ Then the woman came as the day was dawning, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her master was, till it was light. ²⁷ When her master arose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, there was his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold. ²⁸ And he said to her, “Get up and let us be going.” But there was no answer.

1 Samuel 8:1-3

1 Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel. ² The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba. ³ But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

1 Kings 14:9 ⁹ but you have done more evil than all who were before you, for you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molded images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back—

1 John 1:5-10  ⁵ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. ⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
