134 CONTROL
2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
As with any job or action, there is many ways of doing it or getting the results that you want.
A mechanic has a number of steps that they will go through to find out what is wrong and how to fix your car. They will try one step after another until they have found the problem and then will go through a fixed process to correct it.
The same is true for computer problems; there is a set procedure to go through to find and fix problems. This is true for any problem that exists in our life. When you know how to find a problem and the steps to fix them, you can deal with life in a much more relaxed and confident manner.
This would be a short page if we only had the normal problems of life to deal with but there are those that wish to create problems for others for various reasons. I could give a generic comment about the devil and his forces and leave everybody with a vague spiritual idea but people have to take the responsibility for their own ideas and actions irregardless of who started it.
People create problems for others for various reasons like greed, power, envy, jealousy, mistaken thoughts or faults ideas.
When we love and care for each other, we try to help others keep their peaceful and secure composures; encouraging trust and confidence among our families and neighbours.
It is when someone gets thoughts and ideas that are harmful to others peace of mind and are not stopped that problems are created for those people and they have to learn to defend themselves against the unseen forces of gossip, manipulation and lies that their antagonists create and send through others. This grows and grows until mistrust is everywhere in our thoughts and even known truth is not accepted.
Everyone mistrusts everyone else until we are all doing our own ideas and thoughts and everyone is thinking that they are right and everyone else has to be wrong or we are learning to trust others for the wrong reasons; what we can gain, does it feel good or whatever, as long as I am OK.
When we give control to our own minds and thoughts or give control to others that have not proved themselves honest we are leaving ourselves open to shame, hurt, loss and, even, death.
It is very important that we learn the proper steps to take and watch for in others to know what they are trying to do to us. We can learn their motives by their words AND their actions.
God commands His people to act the same as they speak so that their words will be true, just as He acts the same as He speaks so mankind will know that He is true.
God’s word will always be true because He will always act the same as His word says He will.

This is how a creationist winds up heading Kanada's science ministry, or priest rapes are allowed to continue for decades, I suppose.
While putting down dissent and rational inquiry through brutality, lies and propaganda of all sort has become de rigueur of late, the truth will always win (however much a pyrrhic victory it must be).
Unfortunately, those the truth threatens have a tendency to spin the words and actions of prophets, philosophers and messiahs alike for their own purposes and personal gain.
Time and time again, we are fooled to the brink of destruction, all to have the same forces raise up again once their calamities have passed.
The scriptures mention that there is nothing new under the sun and what has been, will be.
