Love Letter to the Naive
I was you … without experience or enough wisdom to weather this ruthless world.
It is with the deepest regret that I say to you, you cannot hide behind your innocence when others take advantage of you. You will, and I repeat, you will be at a disadvantage if you lack the necessary knowledge, wisdom, and artifice in dealing with the countless diabolical spirits in this realm. These individuals exist in all walks of life: at schools, churches, places of employ, positions of high status, etc. Without the necessary wit, you will be chewed up, spat out, and discarded before you were ever the wiser.
“Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the beasts Yahuah Elohim had made.” Genesis 3:1a
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Matthew 10:16
There is a reason Yahusha tells us to be wise as serpents. This world is filled with devils walking around in human temples — that is the human body. To you and I, they may appear as human beings, but by their fruit, you will be able to tell to which kingdom they belong.
“… and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him …” Luke 3:22a
The Ruah of Yahuah descended in the form of a dove upon Yahusha. Therefore, to be harmless as a dove means to be filled with the Holy Spirit of the Most High, while simultaneously having the cunning wit and wisdom of the serpent. We should not hide behind cloaks of innocence and ignorance from what is truly happening in the world around us, because if we do, we will be victims just like all the others who are lacking in wisdom and understanding.
I used to tell people the truth I found out through my own personal research, but soon realized that most people are under some sort of spell. When you try to tell them about what is really going on in this wicked world, they tell you they are not interested in hearing it, that they’d rather live their lives not knowing, because the information is too heavy for them. I literally had people confess that they would rather remain in ignorance than face the facts of the maniacal world in which we live. Unfortunately, people who remain in ignorance are the first to be taken advantaged of and controlled by the powers that be. These powers love it that way — it makes it easier for them to steer sheeple that never ask questions and therefore go along with the get along of their religious leaders, government officials, and the like.
Naïveté will not protect you from manipulators, narcissists, liars, con-artists, and cheats. If you desire to remain naive, you will eventually be traumatized by an unsuspecting someone you thought had your best interest at heart.
“This is what Yahuah says: ‘Cursed is the man who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength and whose heart turns away from Yahuah. He will be like a bush in the wastelands; he will not see prosperity when it comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.’” Jeremiah 17:5
The solution here is to read, study, and do your own research. Find the truth while it is still readily available, learn to read people, and rely on no one but the Most High, His Word, and yourself. People will let you down. When they don’t, count it as a blessing and keep it moving.
You need to be as wise as a serpent. You will not get that way by remaining in perpetual ignorance. Life on earth is a school, therefore you need to be learning something new every day. The sun should not set without you gaining some level of new knowledge of truth.
And remember:
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Yahuah Elohim, for many false teachers have gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:4
Do not be caught slipping. And whatever you do, do NOT be a pawn in your own life.
