Many believe our present administration and millions of followers do not believe there is evil in this world. If this is true, you would have to surmise that they do not believe in God or the Bible. The Bible tells us the world is full of evil and repeatedly tells us to prepare to protect ourselves or we can be deceived.
I Peter 5:8 – “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
We are in a spiritual war and Satan is attacking our various institutions as well as Americans, particularly our leaders. There has always been evil in the world and the Bible and history confirms it. But to be politically correct we are not to bring it up. We must realize that the god of this age, Satan is trying to deceive us and destroy our witness for Christ and the Bible. He wants to separate us from God now and from all eternity.
Jesus taught those religious leaders and society’s elite, of His time, could easily be deceived. The Bible tells us to guard against what we read and hear and if it isn’t confirmed by Scripture teachings, do not believe it. Is it possible that our political leaders would intentionally lie to us? Are we being told, indirectly, that we don’t need God because our government will meet our needs? Therefore, has our pride also caused us to believe we don’t need God?
The United States has stood in the way of Satan controlling the world through the Antichrist. America will fail, but it will be done from within. America has the potential, through our natural resources of natural gas and oil to have the most powerful military that could keep the world at peace, the most prosperous nation ever and the financial ability to assist every third world nation with food, medical supplies and education.
The Bible continually describes evil people that were possessed by evil spirits. Some rulers and nations became so evil and inhumane that God used other nations to destroy them. Every nation has those types of people existing in every form of life. There are three types of people: those filled with the Holy Spirit, those who are not possessed and those that are possessed by an evil spirit. The one’s we must recognize as being potentially possessed by evil can be our neighbors, movie stars, athletes, teachers, doctors, ministers, business owners and politicians to name a few.
Most of us would not want to consider anyone evil but they exist today as they did in Bible times.
Those possessed with evil can be very likeable and pleasant, they often lie or exaggerate, they have no feelings of guilt, can be very manipulative, they need to continually be stimulated, they have little empathy for others, often depend on others for their lifestyle, irresponsible, sexually promiscuous and commit adultery, will admit to no wrong and will blame others, their overall behavior is usually unacceptable.
Lucifer, Satan, and the fallen angels need to possess individuals and often innocently, people open themselves up to being possessed through Ouija boards, dungeons and dragons, spiritual séances plus selling their souls to the devil for fame, power or money as many celebrates have admitted of doing.
Can you name me any area of our society that these people do not participate? We may call them psychopaths and mentally disturbed. However they can be teaching our children evolution and America is a terrible nation. Others could be politicians in it for the money, power and fame. They could also be doings the devil’s work in preparing for the eventual takeover of the Antichrist that ends with Armageddon.
Let’s use the ruler of North Korea as an example. It does not appear he is filled with the Holy Spirit. Would you say he is just a good, moral person making wrong decisions? Or, is he likely to be psychopathic and possessed? There are many good, moral people that have love in their hearts for others and are community active. They just are not possessed by the Holy Spirit or an evil spirit. You can detect them by their actions and behavior. Probably most are in this category. We must be careful that we don’t become another Salem where many were condemned of witchcraft and were killed. There is a difference between being judgmental and recognizing a corrupt person.
Matthew 12:34 – “You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”
Job 18:21 – “Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who does not know God.”
Luke 6:45 – “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.”
II Thessalonians 3:2 – “And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.
Titus 1:12 – “One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: ‘Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.’”
II Samuel 23:6 – “But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns, which are not gathered with the hand.”
Psalm 139:23 – 24 – “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
According to one survey of Christians throughout the U. S., 40% believe they will get to heaven through good works. We can understand non-believers having difficulty with God’s Word but isn’t it hard to realize that many Christians do not understand God’s grace or how the Holy Spirit works in one’s life?
Many today mock the supernatural and believe only in what they can touch or see. They neither believe in Satan or evil spirits. They do not believe in life after death, a final judgment or a hell. They are not afraid to take the Lord’s name in vain.
