This scripture is the answer to the above question:
John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
A Colorado man recently was arrested for killing his pregnant wife and 2 small daughters. Everyone is shocked at this heinous crime. There’s been many shocking crimes like this one and worse.
Also last week 2 husbands and fathers used an airplane to take their own lives and one of these fathers crashed the plane into his wife’s house so he could kill her and his son.
The 3 men in the above stories were said by family and friends to have been very nice people who didn’t show any signs of being capable of committing a crime like this. There has been an extreme lack of value for human life these days.
As more and more of these unspeakable acts are occurring I’m sure people are scratching their heads and asking why?
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
If you are not God’s child as a result of you accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savoir then, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.” John 8:44 This is what the bible says!
By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother. 1 John 3:10
The devils attributes are: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10
So what is happening in this world right now is that less and less people are living moral lives. Christianity is not popular anymore. The bible… even amongst some Christians… is considered old school. People are watching lots of horror movies, horror video games, and participating in all types of witchcraft for entertainment. A portal from hell is opened up in a person’s life when they allow these things to be a part of their lives. If you do drugs or alcohol…this will give you less control over your ability to control your actions. Since you are not God’s child the bible says that you are the devil’s child and he will have his demons put bad suggestions in your mind and you might act on them.
This is what is going on in the world today. Even if you are a Christian the devil is still very busy trying to get you to slip up so you will bring shame to God. Many Christian are suffering from moral failure.
Let me tell you all…it’s ok to enjoy the life that God gave us. I love to have fun and good times too….but know that there is a difference in this time in earth’s history. Something is different!!! I’m personally on high alert!!! This world belongs to the devil!!! He’s doing what he does best…promoting evil acts through humans. He works in their minds! (His plans don’t work on people who have their mind on Jesus and are obedient to the word of God. This submission to God cancels his butt right out!!!!!)
2 Corinthians 4:4 satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
All of us need to be on high alert and do these things to guard against the devil:
- Being in prayer at the beginning of your day.
2. Having an ongoing relationship with God.
3. Repenting for any sins committed.
4. Obeying God and doing His will.
That is if you’re a Christian. If you are NOT a Christian….then I have very bad news…you are at risk for a crisis with no help or worse for the devil to influence you to do something you would never thing of doing.
If you’re not a Christian this scripture verse can save your life in more ways than one: Acts 16:31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved–you and your household.”
Ya’ll… this ain’t no joke!!!!! This is what we all are dealing with….Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
This is real serious!!!!
I’m a prayer intercessor (A person who prays for others on a regular bases.). Ever since I became a committed Christian in 1984 I have been interceding for souls. I’ve seen a lot of spiritual things from visions, dreams and messages in the heavenly spiritual world but I’ve also seen things from the dark side.
Before I became a committed Christian I attempted suicide a few times. My last and most serious attempt, I can tell you I heard the voice of the devil or demon telling me to kill myself. It was real. I was in a trance. I didn’t care about myself or my husband and kids at that moment in time. The devils influence was so powerful over me that I almost lost my life. Another example I experienced this time after I became a Christian… I was driving down the street in a really bad neighborhood and I heard the demons of drugs and all matters of evil roaming the street. I’ve seen a few other demonic things over the years so I know that our enemy is real and out there lurking to see who he can get to obey to follow his horrible and evil commands. I’m not trying to scare anybody. I’ve seen things and I know what the bible says about the spirit world. I feel the Holy Spirit is telling me to share these things today. God speaks I listen and share.
God knew all of this was going to happen to mankind and that’s why He sent His only Son!!!!
This is a difficult blog for me to post today. I walk around every day trying to warn people and win people to Christ. I’m 66 years old and I only have a certain number of years left. I’m gonna make every day count to encourage someone and to win as many souls as I can for the kingdom of Jesus Christ. I do this through my music ministry, my blogs and handing out my pamphlets about my personal testimony of what Jesus has done for me.
I want to share again this VERY POWERFUL scripture with you today that will help you immensely with the subject matter for today:
James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.

Tanya, what a beautiful post you’ve written here — it should be required reading, published in every church bulletin and across the front page of every major newspaper!! Thank you for saying so well and so explicitly what we all need to hear.
You’re so right — that ole devil is stepping up his efforts. I think he knows his time is growing short, and he’s eager to snatch as many souls as he can. Fortunately for us believers, we know the end of this story — God wins!!
Until that time, however, we’re going to have many dark days, much tribulation, many people turning away from what is good and right. We see it every day, and even our church leaders aren’t immune. We need a cleansing … bad! God wants us all to be saved, but He knows some will reject Him and perish. I think our world needs many more prayer intercessors!!

My heart is so burdened for the unsaved. But I will do my part by blogging, singing and giving out my pamphlets. We must all keep focused and not let these events that God told us would happen distract us. Thank you for your encouraging words Deb and understanding my heart.

Thank you for these words, for they are The Truth. You are right, we need to pray and invite the Holy Spirit into our hearts each and every day, so that we may be vessels of God’s love and mercy. We also must pray for eyes and hearts to be opened…for conversions.
We need to ask God to help us CHANGE…from the inside out, and not to fall into the trappings of the world. We should stand apart from non-Christians in all areas of our lives. Entertainment, manner of dress, agendas we are supporting, how we carry ourselves and how we treat family, friends and all the people (souls) God places in our lives each day… Do we have integrity? Love? Forgiveness? Mercy??? May God have mercy on us.
