Rebekah’s Deception Plan: What We Can Learn From Genesis 27:1-17 (10/28/2019)

I’ll save this document to my files, don’t worry 😊😊😊 but I can’t help but write on this, for Jesus wants me to remember that whatever we start our lives with, even if we’re bold enough in our convictions after we become Christian (I’m not speaking on the jerks who love to mock others because they think they’re missing out on a blessing), opposition can be so strong that no one can really do anything. This isn’t the first time I’ve felt this vibe around me — I think I’d actually damage the Kingdom of Christ that way, and I don’t want that. But this passage is found in page 15 of my NKJV Bible, page 19 of my NASB Bible, and pages 33-34 of my VOICE and Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copies.

Anyway, Rebekah goes behind Isaac’s back and gets Jacob to deceive him by pretending to be his twin, Esau. (They’re fraternal, so that’s why Esau is hairy and Jacob strangely smooth skin — women’s skin is usually smoother than mine 😅 but I don’t mind.) I won’t comment anything beyond this now, but no Christian lies to others, as I’m sure a number of people already know. For lying takes a lot of heart to do, doesn’t it? It’s actually quite evil, so I don’t plan on it, even if I have to keep others from certain death. For if I lied to others, I’d actually be found out about that and maybe even be punished in Hell for it. It’s not worth it to deceive… but I know Jacob later becomes a believer of Jesus after wrestling with Him (Genesis 32:24-32), as Abraham and Isaac had done years before. I’m just going to warn you now, stay away from the commenters on this post who I imagine would tell you that deception is not only unlegit, but would actually make God renounce His love for them. There are many people like this, unfortunately… and I actually spent half an hour away from the laptop I’m typing on, for Jonathan wanted to do something but soon changed his mind, and we might go to sleep soon. But that’s ok, I have some videos to watch 🎥📷📹

Before I go to sleep tonight, though, I’ll mention that I’m thinking of going to sleep a little sooner each night, getting up at around 8:00 a.m. for many mornings in the future (unless I take a job in which I don’t need to be up that early, but even then, I don’t want to miss out on Bee) — I actually couldn’t make it to my brother’s place today to visit him and his family, including Bee, my niece (his daughter, of course 😁👧🏼), so I hope to get up earlier much of the time, for I’m pretty sure the convictions of the morning people and the others who are hopefully less mean-spirited towards others might come to blows and there might actually be senseless violence, like the Hong Kong protests I’ve heard about. Indeed, if I don’t practice getting up earlier, more people will reject Christ, probably, and while I thank God that Bee can learn the Lord’s love for her, I can’t say she’s without any adversaries, for my mom and other people, I’m pretty sure, are trying to keep her from experiencing the freedom she deserves to have in Christ, especially since this culture will probably never change. It’s 2019, dangit, we should have a lot more freedoms of concept by now! It’s just not right. I don’t go on Instagram as much, either, likewise with any other social media network, for I got blocked for a month recently, and I’m not risking anything like this again, so I’m only going on it on Saturdays until further notice (unless I’m a verified content creator, but I don’t want to give up my job right now) — I do enjoy making people laugh, though. I’ve never really wanted to become a comedian, but maybe I can be an Instagram entertainer on the side 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😄😆 I still want to be within reason, just not to be a jerk about it. Sorry, guys…

Have any prayer requests? Drop them in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! I don’t think sticky notes are big enough 📧🗒 (there’s no post-it notes emoji 😩 at least, not for this laptop, but even though an iPhone might have that, I don’t want to get one), but I have a lot of paper from my last round of writing Bible notes; I did most of that one by hand. I’ll see you later this week!
