The greatest victory Satan has been able to achieve in the past century
is the belief that he doesn’t exist. The next victory he has achieved
is to make even the most devout Christian doubt God's Goodness or to
question God's All Powerful Majesty and Control of His creation. Has it
come to a time where many are demanding that God explain Himself to
His created, as if we were owed an explanation?
The great enemy
we face today is Satan, yet when was the last time you heard 'Satan' or
'Sin' mentioned by your Priest or Pastor? Have we reached a time in our
existence where Sin has now become acceptable or to phrase it in
'worldly language', where alternative lifestyles are being promoted as
'normal' and enforced upon the majority as a 'right'?
Satan has
been very busy this past century in planting seeds of Doubt, in tilling
the ground, to create mass confusion, in creating discords between
Nations which rise up one against the other with untold inhumanity
against God's beloved children. But the most successful achievement
Satan has been able to do is to plant seeds of hate amongst God's
children, where Christians now fight Christians, whilst Satan and his
demons rejoice over such flagrant disregarding of God's Word and The
Teachings of our Church.
The new 'gods' of the world are wealth,
beauty, success and power; we see this being embraced by those who have
been seduced into the easy life, where there is no accountability
, therefore any excess is acceptable. Where both men and women have
become living gargoyles in their quest for eternal beauty, by repeated
cosmetic surgery, where success is measured by how we look and how we
appear rather than what is in our hearts and souls. In a world where
super powers have crumbled, as in Communist Russia, only to find that
the greed for instant wealth has created the 'god' of power at any cost
and at any price. We live in a time where divorce has become acceptable
as millionaires embark on their third, fourth or fifth marriages.
But
the cruelest victory Satan has achieved is the killing of the
innocent, where abortion is at record highs and has almost become a
mass production. Where the world uses sanitized expressions as in it is
a 'woman’s choice' to kill her unborn baby, or that women are in
'control of their own bodies' if they choose to 'terminate' their
fetuses or 'tissues'. Where even politicians, judges, lawyers, movie
stars, writers, etc, will march for the right of a mother to kill her
unborn child, they indeed have become 'little Herod's, as many embrace
the Culture of Death that is all pervasive in a century where Sin no
longer is mentioned or has become a 'dirty word'.
Spiritual
warfare exists in a world where many Christians wish to remain asleep,
as the devil roams the world looking for those he can corrupt, for
unlike many, Satan never sleeps....
