Part 1:

“Sure-Fire Faith-Killers!”

It has always been Satan’s evil mission to destroy God’s people.

.

And one way he does this is by chipping away at the faith of Believers.

“HEARTS…OVERCHARGED WITH…THE CARES OF THIS LIFE”

Luke 21:34

.

Well, in these last decades, Satan has stepped up his attacks by the invention of high-tech devices, most notably, television, radio, and now Internet.

.

Of course, it has long been Satan’s preferred method to destroy faith by keeping church-goers so busy, that they neglect to read their Bibles, nor contemplate God’s Word.

.

And this website has continually warned Christians against allowing ourselves to get so busy with the pleasures and ambitious pursuits of this present world-order.

“…THE IMAGE…SHOULD SPEAK” 

Revelation 13:15

.

But this website needs to further spotlight the dangers of what is being transmitted over today’s airways!

.

Yes, it is no coincidence that the programming seen and heard via these devices has a tendency to diminish the faith of God’s people.

“EVIL COMMUNICATIONS CORRUPTS”

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TV_highquality.jpg

.

Just listen to 1st Corinthians 15:33…“Be not deceived, evil communications corrupts good manners (behavior).”

.

As this above verse reveals, it is Satan’s objective to deceive people into thinking that evil communications have little or no effect on the character of people.

.

But this and other similar Bible passages say just the opposite!

BRAINWASHING OUR CHILDREN

.

But Satan uses “evil communications” to eat away at the faith of Christians.

.

For example, when children are assaulted every day with atheistic and perverted philosophies, they are gradually and imperceptibly indoctrinated by those daily assaults. And this explains to a great degree why so many young adults eventually cast away their Christian upbringing, and instead embrace secularism.

.

After all, Satan is no dummy! He fully understands all this!

.

And so, in his cruel hate, the Enemy of Souls has forced society to send their children through the public school systems for this very purpose.

ATHEISTIC SCIENCE SHOWShttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Robert_Darwin_by_John_Collier.jpg

.

Or what about science shows?

.

They are heavily salted with evolutionary/atheistic philosophies!

“LEARN NOT THE WAY OF THE HEATHEN!”

Jeremiah 10:2

.

But deception goes even deeper! Yes, there are even more subtle ways in which Satan indoctrinates viewers.

.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FiveFingersFaceHighandMightyTrailerScreenshot1954.jpg

Take for instance the average TV show.

.

Over and over, these shows (both factual and fictional) have the over-arching message about relying on human strength, human intelligence, and money, as the means of accomplishing a desired achievement.

.

These shows completely ignore the power of faith in the great and precious promises found in the Bible!

“BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN OF THE…SADDUCEES (UNBELIEF)”

Matthew 16:6, 11

.

And those who expose ourselves to these faithless ways, will eventually lose our trust in God’s sovereignty and ability to govern over human affairs.

.

And so, in light of these faith-killing television, radio, and Internet programs, it becomes necessary to begin to beg and plead for deliverance from such pernicious habits.

.

Yes, for those of us who have allowed ourselves to fall into such soul-addicting habits, we can expect a struggle to overcome those habits

.

Perhaps at the end of each day, maybe while lying down in bed (and all through the day), we need to spend much time thinking back on how we might have overcome that big or little attack by the Devil. Just what “exceeding great and precious promises” could have been employed, which would have given us the victory over the temptations which assailed us in our daily warfare?

.

Listen…Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (2nd Peter 1:4)

.

Constant learning and hiding of the many Bible promises into our hearts is a critically important part of our daily walk in the Lord!

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY (HEAVEN)!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the Good News is, that with unwavering faith and persistent effort, the http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TV-icon-novela-current.svgvictory over these Satanic snares will be rewarding.

.

And yet, let none fall back into those habits, once the victory over them be gained.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Revelation 12:3

.Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not.

.

But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars.

.

The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
