Our World is Letting Satan Take Over, As Christians We Won't Let Him
Look, Satan is trying so hard to conquer our society. As humans, we all have a supernatural enemy; Our enemy isn’t society, it’s certainly not our brothers and sisters, but it is the devil. In fact, (Revelation 12:9-10) states that our only enemy is, “the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world… the accuser.” (John 12:31) says he’s, “the ruler of the world.” Lastly, (2 Corinthians 4:4) says he’s, “the god of this age.”
Why would the Bible say that? Why would it say he’s the ruler of the world and the god of this age?
After all, isn’t God the ruler of the world and the god of this age?
Or is he? Because, nowadays all we see is pure evil. Our society is letting Satan take over, but as Christians we won’t let that happen.
So, What do We do?
The Bible says our only enemy is, “the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world… the accuser” (Revelation 12:9-10).
First, we must recognize that Satan is our ONLY ENEMY! As a society, we’re always fighting a war with him--- whether we like it or not. Satan is a master manipulator, he holds very strong powers, and he wants to distract us with our differences. He is waiting for the perfect time to attack us. Therefore, as one community, we must recognize our enemy so he doesn’t catch us off-guard and easily beat us to the ground.
(John 12:31) states that Satan is “the ruler of the world.”
As Christians, as firm believers in God’s word, we may not believe that Satan is the ruler of the world; However, in our modern-day society he is the ruler of the world.
Satan causes the most serious problems in the world. Problems like:
Destruction of nature
Inequality
Conflict
The self-destructive nature of evil is brought from the devil himself. He’ll do anything to cause destruction upon society. He causes destruction by acts of violence, speeches of hate, and judgement.
Yes, Satan does cause inequality. Look, we’re all brothers and sisters and we all have the same father. We’re all equal and there shouldn’t be any reason for any of us to speak about inequality. The thing is, we have to, because there’s obviously people in our world who are subject to inequality.
Why, though?
Well, Satan wants us to hate each other, he wants us to hate ourselves, and he wants us to feel invaluable. He’s stirring the pot and somehow it’s working.
How’s it working?
It’s working because each and every day people argue and fight, each and every day someone commits suicide, and each and every day somebody is depressed.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) says “he’s the god of this age”
Right now, Satan is the god of this age. Our world is going to hell and we can fully thank the devil for that. He has created an uprising of evil which is ridiculous. It’s ridiculous because people are letting this happen. In order to stop disaster you must put forth an effort to stop it. Right now, the only ones stopping this uprising of evil are most Christians and let me tell ya’, we need EVERYBODY to come together to put this evil uprising to an end!
How do We Stop This?
There’s three easy ways to stop Satan:
EVERYBODY has to come together as brothers and sisters
Have faith, trust, and acceptance in the Lord
Using the Power of Prayer as our biggest tool
As a society we’re very, very separated: Groups identify as communities, people hate others for their personal beliefs, and etc.
Instead of using terms like: the black community, the white community, the trans community, and all of the above… Let’s identify as ONE community--- the community of peace, love, and positivity.
It’s okay to disagree with someone! The problem is, when someone doesn’t agree with another they tend to judge, speak negatively about them, and etc. That has to STOP! You don’t have to like everybody, agree with everybody, and talk to everybody; However, you should respect everybody and LOVE everybody--- After all, we’re all brothers and sisters!
Together, we must have faith, trust, and acceptance in the Lord. God loves all of us equally, but as a son/daughter of the Lord, you have to accept him. When times are tough we all must have equal trust in him. Also, we all need to have faith in God’s word!
Lastly, we must use the Power of Prayer! Don’t ever underestimate the power of prayer. God is so loving and hears everything we have to say. We don’t know how he’ll respond to our requests, but he is our Father; He longs for us to grasp his Love and Trust in his Faithfulness.
One of my favorite Bible verses states, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” (James 5:16).
Basically, it’s saying to open up and not hold secrets, pray for your brothers and sisters, and if you’re a righteous person, which you should strive to be, then you’re prayer will have a great power on others. All-in-all, it’s telling us to come together as one community of Christ and love one another since we’re all children of God.
As a society, let’s begin trusting, accepting, and growing with the Lord. Let’s come together as one community and stop Satan’s evil uprising.
Right now, Satan is trying to take over.
However, if you have acceptance, trust, and faith in God and our Savior Jesus Christ, then you’ll never lose… You’ll always prevail over Satan.
