- Satan’s Masterpiece “Slander” -Part 1 By J M Little This message on slander grew out of some experiences 1 and others have had as a result of being slandered by children of the Devil. Only a child of God can be slandered however. What is slander? Mr Webster defines slander as; "A false report maliciously uttered and in tending to injure the reputa tion of another.” To boil it down and make it as simple as I can slander is the spreading of lies to destroy another person aatan is tne chief slander er" in the universe. In Gen. 3 we first see the slimy crawl of the universal slanderer. Vs. 1 Now the serpent I Satan) was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden’ Right there he questions God before the woman, put her to doubt ing God. Vs. 2 And the woman, said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: Vs. 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. As a result of questioning God at the insistence of Satan, the woman lied on God when she said; “Neither shall ye touch it.” The Lord did not tell them not to touch it (Gen. 9-171 Vs. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: Vs. 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. There we have a very sad story of what took place near ly 6,000 years ago. The univer sal slanderer, Satan, deceived the woman by slandering God before her. Satan told the woman that God didn't want her to eat of the “tree-of the knowledge of good and evil" because God knew that they would become as gods know ing good and evil. He deceived her with his slander on God. Now you may ask the ques tion; Bro. Little why did the woman listen and give ear to the serpent slandering God? Alright, why do men and women give ear today to slander on God's servants Why do you give ear to slander on me? Now you answer those ~ questions and you will have the answer why the woman gave ear to slander on God. 1 had a doctor in my employ ment who was giving ear to slander and garbage about me from people 200 miles out of town. I let him know in very clear terms I wanted him to stop it, being he was being paid by me and would not come to me to find out if those things were true the slander ers were saying about me. He let me know in very clear terms he had no intention of complying with my request. So I fired him. He had to give ear to the slander they put in his ear because every child of the devil is a slanderer and the unsaved heart always takes sides with another unsaved heart against the child of God You’ll learn that if the Holy Spirit ever awakens to your lost condition. You will be awakened to your lost condi tion here at a throne of grace or there in the judgment. Hell is a place of awakened sinners with no hope. If the Holy Spirit does not awaken you to your lost condition, grant you re pentence. and give you faith to lay hold Christ as your Lord and your Saviour, then yoUP* doom is Hell my friends. How is it with you and the Lord? Slandering is murdering the other fellow. No murderer will have part in the kingdom of God Rev. 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abo minable. and MURDERERS, and whoremongers, and sor J. M. Little cerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. There you have it, there is the doom of all you who believe not the Gospel of God. Slanderers are murderers and you too will burn in the lake of fire. I have a soul right here at the General Mail Facility who has sought to slander me and others. He has taken it upon himself to go before men in authority slandering the other clerks. He is always running to some person in higher rank saying that certain clerks do not know this and they don’t know that. His lies reached all the way back up to the post master and that is why the postmaster told me twice; “the clerks don’t know the mail.” That statement was based on lies of slander that “rat” has told. Any many of you here were exempt on your examinations were made to requalify, and you were even required to case all the items in the scheme. All that har rassment you faced came a bout as the result of a “rat” who works right here along with you. You may have thou ght it came from the adminis tration, you were wrong. Wat ch that "rat” from now on and see him always running to the superintendent or someone hi gher up. He went back in the office and was going through my record to get information on me. I'm glad the man back there had courage to run him out. He told him he had no business in my records. Two times he has tried to under mine me, the Lord defeated him every time. The Lord is before me, with me, and be hind me. Whatever he does to me he is doing it to the Lord. A soul came to me about a matter, a request, they want ed me to do a certain thing to head off trouble from that “rat." I did what the soul requested of me. inat has always been the case with slanderers. You seek to make yourself look good in the eyes of men in order to step up not knowing you are going and coming at the call of your father the Devil and will burn in the same Lake of Fire. When I have been in heaven ten-thou sand years, that “rat" will have been in Hell ten-thousand years. Knowing Christ, He is my Safety, my Covert, my Protec tor, I have the protection of the Almighty. You do not have that. All you have is your slander wagon. That is your little red wagon on the road to Hell A child of the devil cannot go contrary to his nature. If you only knew whom it is you are slandering you'd stop. That "rat" has caused much trouble for peo ple here,-1 know about it and they know about it. I wouldn't trust him any more than I'd trust a diamond back rattler. Let me ask you a question my friend, have you counted the cost? Have you added up what it will cost you to miss Christ? Have you counted the cost of what it will be for your poor lost soul in hell for spurning the Gospel? You had better count the cost my friend. That “rat'’ could go to hell while he is slandering souls here. He is a child of the devil, which means he coulu drop in hell any second. From reports reaching me, 84 per sons die every minute, and some 144,000 every day. You are going to be in that number one day dear soul. Everything you sought to gain here will mean nothing because you will be waking up in hell You'll say as the prime minister of the British Empire said as he died; "What a fool I've been.” That was Winston Churchill, r- ■ ■ ■■ ■ FULL OR PART TIME A guaranteed product that excites people.
