For Christendom: Overcoming the Spells of Dark Magic in our Society
PatriotandLiberty ^ | Aug 2020 | Josh Jenkins

Posted on 04/20/2023 1:44:08 AM PDT by spirited irish

Secularism rejects the True and Living God, but not religion. So it must embrace other gods. Often it is the demonic. This is a growing phenomenon in the West. Secularism has produced a society that rejects the True and Living God, but not demons (although they will not always call them demons).

As our society goes more and more secular, and thus demonic, the Church must be prepared. We must embrace the supernatural worldview that the Bible presents without embarrassment or apology.

“We must embrace the supernatural worldview that the Bible presents without embarrassment or apology.”

Worth repeating.

It’s this same religion that gave the world its advancement and achievement that the G7 has exported to the undeveloped nations inclusive of our enemies.

The world of Islam coattails on our light bulbs, color tvs, Charmin and Cadillacs. Jet travel too.

All of these are byproducts of the crusades, as are liberty, rights and freedom via the magna carta.

“...We are not dealing with scientific people who are committed to the facts and will be persuaded by the laws of logic. We are dealing with people who have religious commitments. One example is the abortion clinics... you will quickly see that saying ‘hey, don’t you know you will kill your baby if you have an abortion’ will only make the demons lash out and say ‘yes and I love it!’ Evil laugh, torturous screams, and all.

So if they have their religious commitments, we must have ours. We should’ve stuck to ours in the first place, but there is still time for repentance. Christians must reject the humanistic, materialistic, Darwinian worldview, under which the demonic hides...”

GREAT ARTICLE! Thank you.

It may have been a test……but if it were weather related our weather radio would have come on.

Very strange
If it was a test……?…..

Christianity was born in a pagan and religious world (Rome & Judaizers). There has been ebb and flow in the growth of Christianity since Christ's resurrection. During the past 2000 years, there has always been resistance, a battle if you will, between the Truth and an anti-Christian worldview. Pagan Rome, Nazis, Communists, anti-Christ religions - were/are all opposed to Christ.

“The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.” – Jesus to the crowds by the sea (Matthew 13:33)

In Luke 13:19, Jesus said that the kingdom of God “is like a tiny mustard seed that a man planted in a garden; it grows and becomes a tree, and the birds make nests in its branches.”

The fact is that those people and systems without Christ are perishing and the Lord's kingdom continues to grow despite tribulation. The tribulation and evil we've seen since Christ and today - are birth pangs.

Today's Christians need to be like Nehemiah where we build the kingdom on one hand and resist/fight the enemies of Christ on the other hand. Our weapons are not natural but spiritual (Eph 6:12-18). Today's Christians need to come to terms that His kingdom is here (in you) and that soon Jesus will govern His kingdom from Jerusalem.

If we are depressed by what we see in our nation and the world, I would say: pray "thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as in heaven"; read the Word, turn off the bad news; turn your gaze upon and worship Jesus; be filled with the Holy Spirit.

This world is not our home. He is coming! Maranatha!

Nice post.

I attended a prayer gathering at Yale University last night (on New Haven Green) - it was requested by the Christian Yale students to reclaim that institution in the name of Jesus Christ.

500+ people showed up - a LOT of students, some Instructors and the surrounding community - Jesus was loudly proclaimed and worshipped and preached.

VERY heartening to see so many young people totally sold out for Jesus - right there in the middle of very secular Yale University.

Please pray for Christians at our nation's Universities - that they may may be bold and rooted firmly in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“…very secular Yale University…”

That is something of an understatement. But the event you described is very encouraging. Thank you for telling us about it.

Secularist (i.e. those in the Deep State) reject the God of Abraham and instead worship the Golden Calf. They engage in degenerate homosexuality, child sacrifice and cannibalism.

The individuals are in plain site and are the puppet masters pulling Biden’s strings.
