Are you into movies, books, and video games about zombies, ghosts, etc.? They can change your compunction to adverse reaction!
Evil unclean spirits are real! Many people do not believe that they exist today, but they do; as the bible says in 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Don’t make the mistake thinking that believers are immune to the wiles of Satan! 2 Peter 1:10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure. Don’t be lethargic to Christ! Pray that you will be counted worthy to escape those things that are coming. Seek Christ’s guidance in everything you do. Follow Him!
1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.
We are only human and susceptible to human weakness. The evil powers we are confronted with are stronger than we are so put on the whole armor of God.
Ephesians 6:11, 13 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:12 for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Revelation 16:13-14 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world.
People wonder at the many evil things that are happening in our nation such as the number of killings in our public schools. That is tragic because it involves our children and they depend on us to care for them. The immediate reaction is to call for a ban on guns instead of addressing the reasons why it happens in the first place. Satan the Devil knows it is a major blow to humanity to attack our children and how we will react. It is a very bad thing but is by no means the most tragic!
The charts below show what causes the real carnage and guns aren’t even in the equation! Our society is gorging itself on never ending desires for luxury; suffering the consequences of poor health. Because the dollar is the biggest idol in the US, our water gets polluted, our soil is ruined chemically, the air is gravely polluted and these conditions cause many of the deaths listed in these charts. Guess what! Chemicals in our food are not going away, automobiles are not going away, alcoholic beverages are not going away, and abortions are not going to stop. Not to mention that nothing is hardly ever said about human trafficking in this country and laws that are passed to protect people who do such things.
