Do Powerful Demons Run Religion and Government Through False Prophets?

Today is a good day for a decision as time is short. Let the fire of God burn within you to empower you as children of light. It seems like evil rules in every seat of power and culture today and soon it will become much worse. Pray to Jesus today, accept his sacrifice for sin, repent and ask for him to enter your heart and soul.

Does a godless government making godless rules sound remotely familiar? The same demons that empowered the governmental leaders in Elijah's day empower many leaders in today's government. Since the Bible is both timeless and timely, Pastor Mark preaches from 1 Kings 18:20-40 on how we all ultimately must make a decision on whether we'll be slaughtered or saved.

Do Powerful Demons Run Religion and Government Through False Prophets?

Not completely .
Not yet .
Although there are anti-christs hard at work trying to usher it in , and are gathering more and more followers by the day
They are so easy to spot as they are not even trying to hide it .

Haven't watched the videos yet, but the answer to the question in the title is a resounding Yes!

For a limited time only, though.

In the fourth chapter of Luke when Satan came and tempted Jesus during his fast in the wilderness, we're told that:

And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written,
“‘You shall worship the Lord your God,
and him only shall you serve.’”

(Emphasis mine, obviously.)

In short, this tell us that Satan, the deciever and accuser, was allowed authority over creation. It is not his to keep. Even he is nothing more than a servant and tool of the Most High (though an unwitting one).

Ephesians 2:2 says:

in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—

A prince is a ruling authority that is always subject to a higher authority, being the King; in this instance The King of Kings!

II Corinthians 4:2-4 says:

3And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

These two verses (and there are more) speak of the power of darkness as the prince of the power of the air and the god of this age.

This world was ceded to the powers of darkness by the disobedience of the first Adam. It, for a time, is legally and rightfully under the authority of darkness. God's common grace has held back the full tilt of evil, but it has always been there, bubbling under the surface. The influence of the power of darkness is not a new thing. Since the attempt to build the temple (tower) at Babel, it has been working in the hearts of corrupt men to overthrow the Rightful Sovereign and creator of all things seen and unseen.

It won't work.

Ephesians 1:3-4 tells us:

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.

This was all planned ahead of time. Even the power of darkness didn't comprehend the full scope of the divine plan and purposes.

I Corinthians 2 imparts this word of eternal wisdom:

7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 tells us that:

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

I firmly believe that there will come a point in our chronological construct when "he who now restrains," (meaning, as I see it, the Holy Spirit) will be taken away and evil will be given its head (as we say in the equestrian world) to do what it wants with little resistance or obastacle. This is so that creation can see the destructive nature and result of true evil, for evil never shows its face when it presents itself; it is necessary that it be denuded and exposed for what it really and ultimately is.

The reason for this is clear. In this multi-dimensional construct that is the creation in which we live, where there exists good and light and truth, the potential for evil and darkness and lies could not be eliminated, just as the potential for up cannot be eliminated if there exists a down, just as the potential for hot cannot be eliminated if there exists a cold, etc.

It was necessary that an ultimate battle be fought between good and evil for the sake of the creation, and that through a divinely ordained process established "before the foundation of the world," that is before the act of creation was even initiated this ultimate battle would be waged and ultimate redemption would be accomplished, that evil would be exposed, corruption corrupted, captivity taken captive, death slain and the grave overcome so that life eternal could and would reign in the face of it.

Indeed, Romans 8:18-25 gives us the words of incomprehensible hope and glory:

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

That means that there is a reason behind all of this, even though it is difficult for us to comprehend, and from God's sovereign, omnipotent, omnisicient and omnipresent perspective the end will definitely and by all means justify the means, even if we can't see that now.

I find it ironic that members use youtube to prop up an agenda when youtube is one of the biggest demons in operation as part of the MSM.

But coming soon I am sure. Remember, Christianity is hate speech. There is almost no SIN that the left doesn't want to legalize and ban you from speaking out against.

You have no idea

Even the devil himself speaks truth on ocassion. I use the internet (a place full of wickedness and lies) to carry out Bible study. Indeed, every verse that I've quoted on this thread was copied and pasted from biblegateway.com...

2 Corintians 11:14-15

14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

I have a pretty good idea. Read my first reply above. It's all there.

The bible mentions that God puts those people in power so we have to trust in God when it comes to leaders. You really missed that?

Do you feel that youtube is demon possessed as a liberal entity? If it is...they have a strange way of promoting it with all the religious content of all types allowed on youtube. Perhaps it's just one of Satan's subterfuge to draw in the weak. There could be Satanic curses hidden, imbeded in youtube content designed for diabolical infestation in those that download any type of content. It could be in code and you won't notice it until it's to late.

I say, definitely they are. Not only does the Bible talk about this, but the evidence of how the world is changing for the worse is evident. Something is at play here, and it has a demony stink to it. I think that you're right on the money on this one.

Simpletons at coockooo war...

Psychology explains the world much better that the Bible, but that book has profen to be a great emotional support animal, so there is that...

If it gets too much seek professional help, not some anthropomorphic sky being.

Oh no.. I got THAT memo. THAT memo doesn't relate to the OP. I mean, unless you're saying the bible lies and there is one massive discrepancy that contradicts what it's saying. I read the link above but I must have not read it the same as you.

I get that Satan is the lord of this world, common knowledge that anyone that knows anything about the bible wouldn't refute but government and leaders specifically...

Romans 13
1
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
2
Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
4
For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
5
Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
6
This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
7
Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

God and the devil can't both be in control of the same. I'm not saying they're not infallible, just that they're placed there by God and perform by his will. There is room for corruption.

There is a power on the earth that has always been here, for the common man and woman throughout history the earth has always been an evil place.

Christ asked that we endure because the evil here can't be defeated. Evil will win through argument in a materialistic realm.

How do you figure? Psychology will never be able to explain the mass psychosis going on today in a way that makes total sense. They can use simple words like "brainwashing" or the human desire to get along without being shunned, but even that can't totally explain the level of crazy and giving up of all rational thought that we are witnessing today.

I think it's clear today that not every ruler is a servant of God, except for the purpose of carrying out His will. The Bible verses that you posted obviously showed that during the time of Paul, the rulers were there to keep and enforce the laws for good. Today, our own government doesn't even follow the law, much less enforce it. While we might have to accept our corrupt rulers for now, the Bible makes it very clear that He will be dealing with them harshly on the day of wrath and they will be executed. We should follow our laws, but we aren't forced to obey or follow leaders into the breaking of those laws.

The only reason God is allowing our corrupt leaders today is to show that true and just government/justice can only be served by God alone. No human is capable and we should not be following the material world into the abyss. The only way people are finally going to come to this realization, is to allow hell to play out on earth, and so it is written.

Head out straight for the deep end?

Our reality is a sarcophagus.

Who put us here?

Are we meant to only experience the inside of the sarcophagus, or should we experience more?

Who makes sure we dont start pushing the lid?

By the fourth century C.E., Satan the Devil, had brought forth his masterpiece of deception, the apostate religion of Christendom​—a Babylonish system hidden under a “Christian” veneer. It is the principal part of the seed of the Serpent and has developed into a multitude of conflicting sects. Like unfaithful Judah of old, Christendom carries a heavy bloodguilt, having been deeply involved on both sides in World Wars I and II. Some political rulers in Christendom even used these wars as a pretext for slaughtering anointed servants of God.

While claiming to be shepherds of the flock of God, Christendom’s leaders, religious and secular, showed special hatred for anyone who tried to encourage Bible reading or anyone who exposed their unscriptural practices. John Hus and Bible translator William Tyndale were persecuted and martyred. During the bedarkened Middle Ages, apostate rule reached a peak in the diabolic Catholic Inquisition. Any who disputed the teachings or authority of the church were unmercifully suppressed, and countless thousands of so-called heretics were tortured to death or burned at the stake. Thus Satan endeavored to ensure that any true seed of God’s womanlike organization would be quickly crushed. When the Protestant rebellion, or Reformation, occurred (from 1517 onward), many Protestant churches manifested a similar intolerant spirit. They too became bloodguilty by martyring those who endeavored to be loyal to God and Christ. (check out for example how the Protestants treated Michael Servetus, who was burned at the stake for denying the doctrine of the Trinity)






The pastor and speakers in the OP's videos are members of Christendom, the counterfeit version of Christianity.

The threat is possible.

For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Pray for the ones who did you wrong.
