Galatians 5:19-21
King James Version
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these;
Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
I must have been so born again awake, that I didn't pay much attention to the word "woke".
Today, SPIRIT and I created a poem for it:
The world's gone woke.
It's gone broke.
It's began to croak.
What does "woke" mean?
"Beginning in the 2010s, it came to be used to refer to a broader awareness of social inequalities such as racial injustice, sexism, and denial of LGBT rights. Woke has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and reparations for slavery in the United States."

What I minded was when they began to use GOD's sacred rainbow colors for LGBTQ.
That's when I started really paying attention.
Every gender now seems politicized, weaponized, and demonized.
Hardly the work of GOD at all.
His laws are clear.
One verse alone says it all:
Genesis 5:2
King James Version
2 Male and female created he them;
and blessed them,
and called their name Adam,
in the day when they were created.
We're all male, and female.
GOD blessed us both.
He called us both, "Adam".
He created us.
Why "Adam"?
1 Timothy 2:13
King James Version
13 For Adam was first formed,
then Eve.
So, what's all the fuss about in the world?
Why deviate from GOD's laws?
Why the division?
The corruption?
The perversion?
The discontent?
The demands?
Women are not to usurp power over men.
It's in the Bible.
1 Timothy 2:12
King James Version
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach,
nor to usurp authority over the man,
but to be in silence.
If you're born again, you embrace all of GOD's laws.
It is great guidance for each day.
It is a delight to follow GOD's WORD.
JESUS is GOD's WORD personified.
He was always the best example of what He taught.
He may be the SON of GOD, but He didn't throw His weight around.
He always gave GLORY to the FATHER.
The world is in total contrast to JESUS.
It refuses His commands.
And yet, only He can save it.
