DEVILS IN DISGUISE

     Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11: 1)


  When you look at the world through the words of the Bible, you will see the world through the eyes of God.  In so doing, you will see things you have never seen before, consider things you have never considered before, and believe in things you have never believed before.  In so doing, too, God will give you the faith to believe the words He has written.
   Ignore the Word of the Lord, however, and you will look at the world through the eyes of the world, through the eyes of men, through the eyes of the philosophies of men, and through the eyes of the religions of men.
      So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  And God blessed them, and said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:  and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  (Genesis 1: 27-28)
   In the Garden of Eden, however, something went wrong.  For it was there when Adam and Eve surrendered their minds to Satan.  And in so doing, Satan took the keys to the house and became the god of this world.
   That was the day when Satan took dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
   Not only is Satan the great deceiver, he is also the great seducer; for, ever since that day, he has been deceiving and seducing people worldwide.  And by his power of deception and seduction, he has been recruiting people to be followers of him, to be his messengers and ministers, and to create religious denominations worldwide. 
   Satan's ministers and messengers are devils in disguise, for they, too, are masters of deception and seduction, just like their daddy.  Their characteristics are just like their daddy. 
   Satan's people are serpents, sneaky and sly.  They do not want others to know their true identity, so they cover themselves with their personalities, educations, and clothing.  They do not want to be known, to be discovered.  They hide within themselves, not wanting others to know that they are followers of the devil.  Just as Satan disguised himself in the Garden of Eden, Satan's followers do likewise.
    Satan's followers are highly religious, and of course!  For Satan is the creator of religions:  for these are the places where people worship the devil, in places of darkness.
    Satan hates God, and Satan's people hate God.
    Satan hates Christ, and Satan's people hate Christ.
    Satan hates the Bible, and Satan's people hate the Bible.
    Satan hates the followers of Christ, and Satan's people hate the followers of Christ.
    The talking points of Satan's people are subjects external.  But of course!  They do not discuss matters of their hearts, for the matter of their hearts is Satan---but they do not want us to know this about them, for this would blow their cover.  Mention the Bible, God, or Christ and they will turn their faces:  for the light of Christ is an obstruction to the darkness of their minds.
   Satan's desire is to convert the world to worship him, and Satan's people---his disciples, messengers and ministers---walk to and fro upon the earth, seeking to convert people in the worship of Satan in the name of a religion (but not in the name of Satan though Satan is what their message is all about).
   These are some of the characteristics of Satan and Satan's people.  Be able to recognize them and get away from them; for their desire is to drag you down to the pit with them.  Their desire is for you to become one of them. 
      Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor. (Ephesians 5: 1-2)
