The following 1500-word document was provided anonymously for our reflection.
So, what’s the end game of the chaos we are witnessing today? Perhaps it is what we Christians tend to deny, and even though I am saying this purposefully & intentionally to awaken you, the but end game is all about the Spirit, the very element that many Christians deny, ignore or tiptoe around? I say again, the end game is about confining the spirit, specifically, our spirits! Just what do people around the world end up doing, if left to their own devices? In fact, what are too many even in the church today doing; except serving the needs and agenda of the Spirit of Darkness (Hate) while they’re frantically trying to figure out how to be righteous (Love). Many in the church today don’t even attempt to choose righteousness (Love), for they already have been compromised to serve the needs of Darkness (Hate) for the corruption of their souls and others.
And by what means is this being accomplished? By Hate, via Entertainment, Money, Power, Greed, War, Freedom, Addictions, etc. Each contribute to the corruption of our Souls.
UNDERSTAND, when you become a person who separates yourself from the sin of this world for His Righteousness, is when you wear the bulls-eye. You’re not a target until you separate yourself from the sin of this world. You’re a target if you don’t watch the comedy shows that everybody else is watching. You’re a target if you don’t drink the same stuff everybody else does. You’re a target if you have an ideology against what people in the world are calling Freedom. See, they’re free to perform abominations in front of everybody, they’re free to scam people all day long, they’re free to have people enslaved by various substances. Yes, they’re free to do all these things, but as soon as you as His Ambassadors of His Love & Righteousness begin to go against those worldly enticements, you will be targeted! And if you ever start talking about angels, or about the power of the Living God in public, you will be targeted and ridiculed!
Satan is the warden OF HIS EVIL worldly DOMAIN. We have been raised, as have been our children and grandchildren, and trained to be enforcers of Satan’s policies in this world to trap and confine everyone. Church parents unwittingly, have encouraged their children via all the world’s media & educational influencers, to accept the world’s protocols. Seldom, if ever, are their children taught to obey the Living God. Instead, children by default, are left to go along with the flow of whatever the world tells them.
When a person begins to believe in the Love of Jesus Christ rather than Satan’s hate, expect everybody, unless there is miraculous intervention, to come down hard on that person and laugh and scoff them right back into their confinement. Nobody breaks confinement, and if anybody attempts to gain their freedom, that’s when the entire community will come against them.
You get the picture? Satan does not want to or need to kill you if you are already confined. You’re not going anywhere when you’re invisibly imprisoned. You’re doing exactly what they want you to do, comfortably living inside a bubbled illusion. They have convinced you by mere speech that you’re free. The media continually 24/7/365 shows you things distracting from God’s realities. You know why people watch television and movies so much? It’s the only time they can escape their confinement by way of Satan manipulating their imaginations. Say they watch a movie, and for a moment, they’re on a ship in glamour; certainly not in their chaotic homes. Sci-fi is popular because viewers are drawn into its compelling speculations and away from the mundane realities of life today. Confined persons seek to escape by drinking, drugs, & parties leading to a wide myriad of addictions to escape their own self-imposed solitary confinement. If American home life were fulfilled and joyful as Christ designed them to be, people would not need addictions to escape and addiction rates would plummet.
But Satan’s confinement is working. That is why centuries ago he invented games and gladiators; to allow the invisibly confined persons to exercise the hidden desires that they possess by allowing them a diversion from their confinement with a legal avenue to vent their anger. So, the pressure is released, nothing disastrously blows up and a surface peace is restored, perhaps, even without drugs, at least, this time.
The world’s manipulators are pacifying you with its assorted entertainments. So long as the confined have access to games & gladiators, a tenuous calm exists, but when the entertainment is curtailed, the confined get restless, needing a “fix. Today’s games & gladiators are the deceptive safety valve for Satan’s solitary confinement dwellers who mistakenly think they are free. Consider Romans 1:28 -32: “Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain their knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so they do what ought not be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity…..(32) Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
We likely have no idea how well the entertainment industry’s wheels are greased in our culture but we all ought to know what Satan’s BOTTOM LINE is. We may naively think Satan is satisfied with these earthlings now serving him in his invisible solitary confinement, BUT HE IS NOT! A clue is at least today’s deceived are still alive and have the opportunity to seek Righteousness, be convicted of sin, repent, experience God’s freedom from Sin, etc. The question begging to be asked though, is what about the SOULS of the countless generations & centuries before us that are eternally lost? Satan desires the same plight for us, as He is patiently waiting.
The world system and its Prince doesn’t want to kill you while you’re a mediocre discouraged Christian because you’re still increasing his numbers by your poison. They want you in a lethargic stupor and corrupted such that you will not turn to the Most-High God. The world wants you locked into their Worldcraft (actually witchcraft prior) so that you will never return to the Most-High God. The world system exists to own & confine your body while you’ve yet breath, and then capture your SOUL upon your death. They want you to be paralyzed by your guilt. Be sure you understand it is not God that gives us guilt; God provides CONVICTION & Beyond, for our sin that removes Satan’s guilt trips, for it is always by way of the Holy Spirit, we can exit the world’s confinement, experience conviction, and eradicate any guilt this world’s prince assigns us. Conviction is a realization by those earnestly seeking Righteousness (Love) while the Holy Spirit lovingly convicts us of sin and our need for forgiveness & restoration to Love, Righteousness and beyond.
With Christ, you can be absolutely free! Have you ever noticed, how everything God hates today are now the top attractions on Earth? Satan and his demons at this moment know their time will soon be up and their eternal punishment lies ahead. But in the meantime, they are going all out after our souls. Once you begin to realize this, and you put yourself back in alignment in truth with the Most High God, there is no struggle with the world. When you’re back in alignment with the Most High, your desires are now for God’s Righteousness (Love) and when you carry the word of God, not merely your own word, not some concocted hybrid word, but the actual word of God inspired within you, make no mistake, the world will hate you and seek by any means possible to destroy you; just for carrying & speaking the word of God.
That’s why it’s a blessing to be noticed in such a way, because then you know the side to which you belong! When everything is smooth sailing in your life, & you’re not stirring up the pot, so to speak, the world will be your friend, and it is then, you’re probably on the wrong side. Historically, there’s been a deep compromise somewhere and the world allows these deep hidden compromises to proliferate so that others will be corrupted just as you were.
Fortunately, the Lord came and He opened our eyes, just a little. And He opened our ears just a little. In fact, as we grow in our relationship with Christ, we are now quite aware something is not quite right here on this earth, but we can’t always put our finger on it! First, we’ll notice we have these natural repulsions against certain ideolologies & activities in the world. Spiritually, we get irked at times, and though we note it, we refrain initially from sharing such with other people, perhaps until a trend is established. Even then, though we’re disheartened when many of our friends may have gone along with these distractions, convincing themselves and others as they were swept along, we have read the playbook and are neither surprised or discouraged.
To be continued at a later date.
