His Name In Vain


Using His Name In Vain

I have often wondered why something I see all the time on facebook or hear on TV grates my spirit, and I now I know the reason why is because it is grating the Holy Spirit within me… And I have been guilty of this myself...

Reposting this because it helped me and I hope it helps someone else…

Exodus 20:7
“Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain… For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain”

Exodus 20:7
“Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain…”

The Hebrew word here is “shav” which means “emptiness of speech or nothingness”.

So vain means using God’s name in a meaningless way and this shows a lack of respect and it is pointless. The only time that we are to speak God’s name and or Jesus Christ’ name is when we are either talking about them or talking to them or teaching their law. Saying their names in vain is sinful. The Father is the word. The Father is the utmost Holy. There is only one thing that is good and that is the Father.


“Oh God” or “Oh My God” are said so frequently, that it no longer bothers most and this is because it has become what is considered second nature. Entertainment societies will blotch out, bleep out distasteful words, but they will not blotch out nor bleep out when one says “GD”. The word God is used too loosely this day and age, even by the youth by saying God’s name other than calling on him or by saying Jesus’ name other than calling on him. Think about what you all are doing and what your children are saying. 


Exodus 20:7 “…For the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain”


So, with all of this said, take this into consideration of what not to say in vain:

“Oh Jeze, Jesus, Oh Jesus, Jesus Christ, Good God, Oh God, Oh my God, Oh Christ, Christ, For Christ sakes”…

Part I - 5 Signs That Your Country Is Being Taken Over By A Tyrant

Soft Tyranny Part I – The 5 Signs of a Soft Tyrant Taking Over Your Country The two major types of dictatorships in the world are “soft” and “hard”, and for this piece I will be using the word “tyrant” as the descriptor for both dictators and tyrants. Hard tyrants are relatively easy to spot and they are usually led by leaders who believe without a doubt in communism. Many of these tyrants come into power by using various “strongman tactics” such as political tactics (stacking the political deck in their favor), personal attacks (removing everyone that disagrees with them), influential tactics (controlling what the press says about them and discrediting, jailing, or killing the ones who don’t), and total military control (including martial law) via a “ coup d'é·tat”. However, n o matter how they do it the end game is always the same; to rule by force and make the country either an authoritarian or totalitarian regime. Many of these “strongman dictators” are not the actua

Quimby and Beyond...

Enter Quimby… The New Thought movement of the late nineteenth century had a profound influence on a number of American leaders in the Divine Healing movement in the first half of the twentieth century who went on to become the fathers of the Positive Confession, or Faith-Formula theology of Pentecostalism.  New Thought was a movement that began after the death of Phineas P. Quimby (1802-66) when a number of his students came together to preserve his teaching. Quimby had developed an alternative system of healing through parapsychology after beginning a career as a mesmerist. Quimby taught that bodily sickness was caused when the mind believed false notions about health and could be healed by correcting these beliefs in the mind. The movement that sprang from his protégé emphasized not only health and healing, but also abundance, prosperity, wealth and happiness. The basic presuppositions of New Thought’s system of divine healing are, firstly, God is all reality and in God is no

Do You Tell The Truth DJT?

Jonathan Karl’s Question: And finally I remember well, you remember well in the campaign, you made a promise. You said, “I will never lie to you.” Can you tell me now, honestly, have you kept that promise at all times? Have you always been  truthful? DJT’s Answer: Well, I try. I do try. I think you try too. You say things about me that aren't necessarily correct [this is called deflection]. I do try, and I always want to tell the truth. When I can, I tell the truth… I have a simple rule and that is if anyone lies to me even one time then I know they will lie to me again if they need to and this man has lied to America thousands of times. Even those close to him say that he will make up his “own truth” when the need arises so he can come out on top and that he has NO issue with telling lies to get ahead. However, those with real spiritual discernment know that he is has been constantly lying to America, however people who claim to be “christians” (aka evangelicals) do
