 Noticing who I think it is Hello Satan and we ain't seen you in a long time What you been up to? We're watching the credits at the end of a movie and notice that there was a name as a director This was a person who had been a movie star But it kind of disappeared the old saying out of sight out of mind kind of applies But just because you're out of sight and out of mind doesn't mean that you haven't been busy The same could be said about Satan just because we don't see him Just because he's out of sight and out of mind does not mean he's out of the picture and he's still busy I think sometimes we get it confused thinking that just because we don't attach his name to something Doesn't mean that he's not involved Resists the devil and he will flee But what if you don't know that the person that you're fighting is the devil The Bible says that we wore not against flesh and blood But sometimes it feels like flesh and blood is who we're warring against Rather than against the devil make no mistake about it Satan is smart. He's wise He's been at this for a lot longer than we've been alive and when he comes He doesn't just show up knocking saying hey, this is Satan look at what I'm going to do No, he comes as the Bible says an angel of light and so we've got to look at what's going on in the world and look at his Agenda and he won't tell you up front what his agenda is He's going to put it in a nice little bow a nice little package and make it look good Make it sound good make it smell good and to us as we take it in as we consume it We actually think that it is good But it ends up being Something not so good for us. It ends up leading to destruction He's decided that whatever agenda that he's in it can't be apparent that it's him And so he puts these neat little titles on for example, let's say he wants to get rid of a lot of people He wants to have a lot of bloodshed but make us feel good about it And so he'll he'll he'll put it under the umbrella of maybe Reproductive rights or women's right to choose and give it a nice little title such as Planned Parenthood because Who didn't want to plan out their parenthood? Who didn't want to plan out their family? That is a good title You know why it's a good title because Satan is good at what he does another example. How about black lives matter? Wait a minute who would be against the lives of black people? Well, nobody but when you get to the heart of the matter and you find out that that actual organization is Against God himself when you go and look at some of the things that they stand for Those things that they stand for on their own website will tell you they're not for us They're not for what the Bible or what God is for But that's what Satan does He comes at us in ways to make us think that it's not him and cause us to fight against each other So we don't think that we're fighting against him But we're Republicans fighting against Democrats or Democrat versus Republican black versus white white versus black young versus old He has these ways of of making us think that we're evolving into something better He's got this new thing that's going around that makes us feel like That's what I want to be it's got young folks and old folks alike jumping on board with this nice little title It's a title called woke. I'm aware of what's going around and I want to be socially conscious And I want to be a benefit towards my fellow man. That's how he packages it But that's not really what's actually happening He comes under the guise of tolerance Love my fellow man. I'm going to accept what he's doing just so long as he accepts what I'm doing And if he's doing something that sin, well, it's okay because hey, it's none of my business And well, I should live and let live I'll leave it under the guise of tolerance Twist some of the scriptures. I'm not gonna judge him because the Bible says after all judge not But is that what it really says? No, but as long as Satan can keep us from the Bible As long as Satan can keep us from having our attention on him and even more to the point having our attention on God and Christ himself Then we think we're doing something totally different something that doesn't have any any kingdom implications But the fact of the matter is Satan is good at what he does. He's good at dividing us. And so Remember when you're out there and you're looking at how the world is devolving how the world is getting more and more chaotic how the world is full of evil death destruction Ask yourself who really is behind it? And when you come to an actual answer if your answer is Satan, then you'll know what Satan's been up to
