Fellow
Believers,
Let’s LOOK At
Satan’s Distractions, Which Can And
Do, Influence,
FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, Unbelievers, Yet-To-Be-Believers,
As
Well
As,
BELIEVERS!
I
Call Them, “Satan’s WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION,” Which Are
Both,
Hypnotizing AND Mesmerizing; THESE INCLUDE, But Are NOT Limited TO:
Cell
Phones (Which Are Mini-Computers, IN The Palms OF Our Hands), Social
Media, Television, Movies (Both,
IN
Theaters And
AT
Home), Sporting Events (Live, Online, ON Television, etc.), Concerts,
Video Games (Both,
Consoles And
Online), Computers (i.e.
Laptops,
Notebooks, And
Tablets), Virtual Reality Viewers, Physical Fitness And
Dieting
(i.e.
For Physical
Appearance),
And
So Much
More. I Could GO ON, BUT I Think YOU Get My Point. ALL Of
These
Things,
We Fail,
TO Recognize,
AS BEING, Satan’s Covert (Hidden) Distractions!
Yes,
I Know,
Sexual Immorality (Such As: Adultery, Pornography, Prostitution,
Pedophilia,
Human Trafficking,
etc.), Drugs (Both,
Prescribed, As
Well As,
Illicit OR Illegal), Alcohol, Tobacco, And
More,
Are
Also,
Satan’s Distractions; BUT, They Are More Recognizable, NOT So
Covert.
Why
Are These Things, Satan’s Distractions?
Well,
Because
All These Things, Take Our Focus Away, From KNOWING
AND SERVING
God Almighty! And When I Say “Our Focus,” I Mean, FALSE
Teachers, FALSE Believers, Unbelievers, Yet-To-Be-Believers,
And
Especially, Us, Believers!
Remember,
Satan Wants TO CONSUME, As
Much
Of
Our Time, As
We (Mankind)
ALLOW Him, TO Consume,
WITH Distractions; Thereby,
Keeping
Us Away, From
KNOWING
AND SERVING
GOD Almighty!
NOW,
Am
I Saying,
We (Believers)
Should
NOT Participate, IN Any
Of
These
Things,
Certainly
NOT!
BUT, We MUST SEE Them, FOR How Satan, USES Them! On The Other Hand,
We MUST USE Them, Ourselves; As
OUR TOOLS, TO Further The Kingdom OF GOD Almighty; AND We MUST USE
Them, Ourselves; AS OUR WEAPONS, AGAINST Satan!
Folks,
Let’s Look Closer, At Satan’s Most
Popular, Hypnotizing And Mesmerizing, Weapons
Of Mass Distraction.
First
Of All, Our
Cell Phones, Which
Have
TAKEN
OVER,
Our World! People Are So Consumed, With Their Use; That
They
Ignore, Virtually, Everything And Everyone, Around Them!
People
Can Be, IN The Same Room, And Each Of Them, Blindly
Staring,
At Their Own
Cell
Phones, Instead
Of Communicating, With Each Other! People Blindly
Stare,
At
Their Cell Phones; As They Drive IN Their Cars, As They Walk Down The
Street, While They Are At Work, At The Grocery Store, At The Movie
Theater, Basically, ANYWHERE!
Folks,
People Have Walked, INTO
Oncoming Traffic, And Been Killed,
By Vehicles, Playing Games, ON Their Cell Phones! People Have Fallen
Off Cliffs And
Bridges,
And
Been Killed, Taking
“Selfies,” With Their Cell Phones! People Have Wrecked Their
Vehicles, Killing
Themselves OR Others,
“Texting,” ON
Their Cell Phones, While
Driving! Our
Children, And Some Adults, Are Even “Sexting,” Others, ON Their
Cell Phones!
Why
Can
People NOT Recognize, What Satan Is Doing, TO Them?
Next,
Social Media, People Spend, Several Hours, A DAY, Staring At Their
Cell Phones, Tablets, Notebooks, Laptops, etc., While They Interact,
IN The “Cyber World!” Let’s Face It, Most People, Now Days,
Have Far More “Cyber Friends,” Than They Do, Actual Friends, IN
The Natural, Physical World! Now, That’s Sad, Folks!
Yes,
I Understand, It’s A Great Way, To Stay, IN Touch, With Family
Members And Friends, Whom YOU Know, IN The Natural, Physical World;
BUT, That’s Completely Different, Than Staying, IN Touch, With
People Known, ONLY, IN Cyber World! And Yes, I Understand, THIS IS,
The World (Both, The Natural, Physical World AND The Cyber World), IN
Which, We Live In, TODAY!
Now,
Does This Mean, We, As Believers, Can NOT Use OR Should NOT Use, Cell
Phones And Social Media, TO Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, WITH
Others? On The Contrary, Since THIS IS, The World (Both,
The Natural, Physical World AND The Cyber World), IN Which, We Live
In, TODAY; We
MUST Use Them, TO Combat Satan, AT His Own Game! Meaning, We MUST
Use Them (Cell
Phones And Social Media),
TO Share The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, WITH As Many Souls, As Possible!
Finally,
Television And Movies, These Are, Just As, Hypnotizing
And Mesmerizing, As
Cell Phones And Social Media;
BUT,
They Are Also, Two Of The Oldest, Well Known, Of
Satan’s Weapons
Of Mass Distraction!
A
WORD OF CAUTION
Do
NOT Be FOOLED,
By Satan; Do NOT Let Satan, DISTRACT YOU; Do NOT Let Satan, KEEP YOU
AWAY, From Serving GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, AND The Holy Spirit;
AND Do NOT Let Satan, DETER YOU, From Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus
Christ, EVER!
Ephesians
6:10-18
Finally,
My Brethren (Fellow Believers), BE STRONG, IN THE LORD, AND IN THE
POWER OF HIS MIGHT! PUT ON, THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD (GOD Almighty);
That YOU May Be Able, TO STAND, AGAINST The Wiles Of The Devil
(Satan)!
For
We (Believers) Do NOT Wrestle (Battle), AGAINST Flesh And Blood
(Mankind); BUT (We Battle), AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers,
AGAINST The Rulers Of The Darkness Of THIS Age, AGAINST Spiritual
HOSTS
Of Wickedness, IN The Heavenly PLACES!
Therefore,
TAKE UP, THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD (GOD Almighty); That YOU May Be Able,
TO Withstand, IN THE EVIL DAY, And Having Done All, TO STAND!
STAND
Therefore, Having
Girded
Your
Waist,
WITH
TRUTH;
Having
Put
On,
THE
BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS;
And
Having
Shod
Your
Feet,
WITH
The
Preparation Of
THE
GOSPEL OF PEACE;
ABOVE
ALL,
Taking
THE
SHIELD OF FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ);
WITH
Which,
YOU
Will
Be
Able,
TO
QUENCH,
ALL
The
Fiery
Darts
Of
The
Wicked
One
(Satan)!
AND
TAKE
THE
HELMET OF SALVATION,
AND
THE
SWORD OF THE SPIRIT (The
Holy
Spirit),
Which
IS,
THE
WORD OF GOD (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus
Christ);
PRAYING
Always,
WITH
All
Prayer
And
Supplication,
IN
THE SPIRIT (The
Holy
Spirit);
BEING
WATCHFUL,
TO
THIS
END,
WITH
All
Perseverance
And
Supplication,
For
All
The
Saints
(Fellow
Believers)!
Folks,
Remember,
Jesus Christ, ABIDES WITHIN
Us, THROUGH
The Holy Spirit;
Therefore, Jesus Christ, WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit, TEACHES Us,
AND Most Importantly, GOD Almighty, WATCHES OVER Us, ALWAYS! Amen.
