The Forsaken Ones

By

Roger Behra

In our modern world of today so many people live their lives in such a manner that they are forsaken by God. And very sadly to say, they die and go to their eternity forsaken.Are you one of the forsaken?

The world forsaken means to desert, to leave forever, to give up completely. To be forsaken by God means to be existing from day to day without God’s very much needed graces, guidance, helps, and protections, which leads to a very troublesome and empty existence, as well as a very uncertain eternity later on.

To be no longer away from God requires a major change in the mode of daily living away from the irreligious living that has taken over in the world of today. New research reveals that 60% Americans do not practice religious living. It is going to take a serious change of mind and daily activities, because we are surrounded by so much great evil, so much great evil, so many irreligious people. So many, young and older, simply make up their own rules for daily living and become God forsaken, and that inspires others to do the same , which leads to many tragic lives.

Members of the forsaken club are those who let evil become a daily way of life. . It takes over. Their lives revolve around crime, sex, the pursuit of money, greed, pornography, adultery, infidelity, alcohol, chemical addiction, and homosexual behavior to name a few reasons.

A classic example of a forsaken one is Tiger Woods. His mode of living once included several of the above mentioned reasons. His mode of life was abominable. He ruined his marriage and maybe his golf career. He was forsaken by God and his wife. Tiger realizes he has to change his mode of life for good and soon. There are many other examples that could be mentioned here: Charles Manson, Wayne Gacey, Night Stalker, Rodney Alcala, Phillip Garrido are a few.

It is very easy to become a candidate to be a forsaken by God when there is no genuine daily religious living in people’s lives. It can happen abruptly or gradually over a period of time, and when the forsaken behavior lasts a long time and even increases and multiplies, demonic activity enters and can lead to demonic possession, which requires an exorcism. Everyone needs God’s grace, help, and protection each and every day to avoid becoming forsaken by God. The often repeated saying is so true, “There, but for the grace of God go I.”
