1 John 4:1
King James Version
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit,
but try the spirits whether they are of God:
because many false prophets
are gone out into the world.
Crafty, crafty Satan.
He found another way to disengage us from GOD's WORD.
To believe, and get caught up, in his perverse world.
Making us superheroes, transhumans, defying gravity, causing addiction, perpetuating ego, vanity, violence, and loss of reality.
Truly gateways to the fallen world.
For this post (for there are many devil's devices), consider the following:
Satan has greatly influenced man's thinking, creating little gods of themselves, others, and technology.
So very ripe for more idolatry.
And yet man gloats along, not realizing future destruction.
He's had a taste of the enemy's power.
Illusion, and delusion.
And there's no stopping Satan and his followers.
I mean, in this world today, who doesn't like trends?
Who doesn't want to know the future?
Who doesn't want to conquer the world?
All roads seem to lead to that now.
World domination.
Pleasure.
Desire.
Greed.
Vanity.
Perversions.
Lust.
All smoothly-cloaked with the slickest, undetectable promotion.
By the GRACE of GOD, the true born again looks to a wary eye at such distractions.
He knows they lead to destruction.
And we would have no part in your ruin.
We stick to the WORD of GOD.
Nothing can be more MAGNIFICENT than knowing the WORD of GOD.
Through Scripture.
Through the ministrations of SPIRIT.
Through the gifting of the LORD JESUS.
Man is not a robot, to be designed upon, or manipulated.
He carries the breath of GOD.
He is a living soul.
Genesis 2:7
King James Version
7 And the Lord God formed man
of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul.
We are not to be part, and party, to Satan's plan.
In mocking GOD's spiritual creation.
In taking over the world to defy GOD.
As if Satan would ever have a use for us, once he's achieved his goal.
Everything GOD created is SACRED.
The world is swiftly going down the drain.
Into an abyss where Satan belongs.
Now, people think it's cool to explore and invade all virtual realities.
Exploring, and expanding, its many cool uses.
Thinking himself brilliant, indestructible, and powerful.
Shades of Satan, I say.
Such delusion.
"Yeah, but it's just a game," you'd say.
Or, "But it's the future!"
Alternately, "It's the latest trend, gadget, or cure."
A born again doesn't think so.
We are attuned to GOD's WORD.
JESUS is the ONLY physician we have.
We do not tamper with GOD's creation.
We have ABSOLUTE faith in the LORD JESUS.
We have ABSOLUTE respect for the LAWS of GOD.
The ONLY POWER we recognize is GOD.
Romans 13:1
King James Version
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God.
If anything, this life is THE simulation.
For the REAL life is with JESUS.
But Satan has it all reversed.
He makes us think this life is the real life.
And that we are to aspire for that simulation.
To imagine what could be possible.
All have been prophesied, through Scripture.
We know our beginning, our present, and our future.
Both believers, and unbelievers, alike.
We are mortals, subject to age, decay, and death.
After the original sin, GOD deemed it so.
Only GOD appoints the day, or hour of our life.
Our times are in GOD's hand.
Psalm 31:15
King James Version
15 My times are in thy hand:
deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
and from them that persecute me.
We need to be delivered from many enemies that try to capture our soul.
Science and technology are but mere pawns to the enemy's scheme.
More than ever, we must pray to be born again, that we may know GOD's truth.
Without JESUS, what would we know?
Without the HOLY SPIRIT, what would we remember?
John 14:26
King James Version
26 But the Comforter,
which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
The battle for the soul is real.
There will be tiny voices in the wilderness (like ours), reminding you to return to the LORD.
In these last days, stay closest to the LORD.
For the pull of technology is strong.
JESUS did say:
Matthew 26:41
King James Version
41 Watch and pray,
that ye enter not into temptation:
the spirit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak.
It takes but ONE angel to bind Satan.
Really think about that, in case you get caught up in the enemy's power.
Revelation 20:1-3
King James Version
20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit
and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon,
that old serpent,
which is the Devil, and Satan,
and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit,
and shut him up, and set a seal upon him,
that he should deceive the nations no more,
till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Further, what are you doing flirting with virtual reality, simulated reality, or augmented reality?
Get real.
GOD is a LIVING GOD.
Jeremiah 10:10
King James Version
10 But the Lord is the true God,
he is the living God,
and an everlasting king:
at his wrath the earth shall tremble,
and the nations shall not be able to abide
his indignation.
The BIBLE is the LIVING WORD.
Hebrews 4:12
King James Version
12 For the word of God is quick,
and powerful,
and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder
of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner
of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
JESUS is the LIVING WORD.
John 1:14
King James Version
14 And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
John 6:51
King James Version
51 I am the living bread
which came down from heaven:
if any man eat of this bread,
he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world.
Have nothing to do with the devil's devices.
It is sure destruction.
