The Power of Dismissal

Let's begin with politics so I can get that nonsense out of the way. Despite how fake and planned politics is today, being filled with nothing but screen actors guild members, those actors are still human, and valuable things can be learned from studying them.

One such example is the way in which an accused politician, or media-member at large, handles accusations. There is a very specific, very simple thing that they all uniformly do. And to not do this is to allow people to pin them down. But before I explain, let's see if you can figure it out. Really, take a second to think about what politicians do when accused (besides lie).

Dismiss. Politicians dismiss the accusation.

This is a powerful, nay, infinitely useful tool in handling all manner of negative attack. When accused, simply dismiss the accusation, saying "it's debunked," "not true," or something along that manner. Further, after dismissing, refuse to speak of it any longer and change the subject. This is uniformly what every politician and media talking head does on the face of the whole earth. This is something that Satan has taught them to do, and Satan is no dummy.

See, Satan knows that when his wicked children dismiss valid and True accusations, the validity of the accusations immediately vanish, or are at least brought into doubt. This is because when those accusing see that their accusations do nothing, neither rattling or flustering the accused, they stop accusing. This is also a tactic I've discovered and described - in a different way - in the past two posts.

When one is a Christian and has a sinful thought in their mind, they must know that it is not their own thought but the whisper of a sinful spirit. You see, Christians are in-dwelt by the Father-Son-and-Holy-Spirit, and are a new creation. Thus it is not even possible for a Christian to sin or to think of sinning. A Christian can give in to the enticing, the temptation of the sin but he cannot sin himself of his own nature (for the old nature is passed away, as when God does something it is a permanent thing). Yes, that sinful thought in your head is not your thought but an accusation. What should you do when accused? Dismiss, and dismiss more. Dismiss the accusation.

Yes, I will repeat myself because it is supremely important: What a Christian ought to do to overcome sin is dismiss the sinful thought. And remember, sin IS an accusation and Satan literally means "Adversary," and he is known as the  "Accuser." When a sinful thought appears in your mind as an urge, it is a fallen angel trying to accuse you with sin. That demon wants you to take possession of that sinful urge, to blame yourself for it, or even to try and defend yourself from that sin-accusation. Neither blame yourself, or defend yourself. Simply dismiss that sinful accusation and the urge of that sin-accusation will immediately go away.

Do not feel guilty for the sinful urge, it is not your own. You, as a Christian, are a new creation. Know now that this is what True Spiritual Warfare is. This is the concept of which Paul struggled with. Also know that sin is of an old, fallen away spirit and soul, and not your own new soul, nor the New Spirit who is the Holy Spirit, that dwells in you. Dismiss sin, dismiss sin, dismiss sin. You cannot go wrong in doing so. Even the fallen, and Truly wicked politicians know this is True - and it's what they do to their evil success.

May God-through-Christ allow you to overcome accusation,

Logos Prevailing.
