Dear Christians, if we're not praying, preparing, and dressed in full armor (Ephesians 6:13), we are going to be silenced and deceived by the propaganda in our world.
We must keep our focus on the Lord to experience His peace, but that doesn't mean we hide from the battle.
Have you ever wondered why Christianity is so often discredited while false religions and pagan-inspired terrorism are justified or ignored? Have you ever wondered why our world promotes pride in sexual lifestyles that damage people's souls but takes no pride in purity?
Have you ever wondered why paganism is slowly creeping into secular and Christian culture disguised as exercises, healing methods, and personality tests? (See Discernment: Use It or Lose It)
Satan promotes evil as good and good as evil. If you haven't noticed that he targets Christianity and protects false beliefs, you need to wake up, dear Christians. He hates the true and living God and loves to see people choose an eternity in Hell.
“Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4
Let's wake up, clear any pagan propaganda from our lives, and seek the Lord wholeheartedly, sharing His life-saving truths with the world! Ephesians 5:15-16

Hello my sister. Just to let you know, I am able to repost your words of wisdom on Pinterest, LinkedIn, (Where I get a lot of response) and Tumblr (Where God's word is most needed) However, Facebook has blocked me from reposting!! I can't figure that out, unless Satan has a hold on that site. Thank you for your ministry. Rick
ReplyDeleteRick, I'm experiencing so many things like this. My blog used to get 100-200K page views a month through social media, and occasionally more. The last several months, I've been getting 60-70K page views a month. My Facebook page has 500K followers but FB typically only sends my devotions into 500-1000 follower's page feeds. They occasionally send my images into more feeds, but my devotions are getting less than 10% of the views they had a few years ago.
DeleteI'd appreciate your prayers. I have a book coming out in October about half-truths that are damaging the church, and my husband and I have faced more difficulties than any other time in our lives. It may just be that God is teaching us perseverance for the increasing persecution in our world, but we've also wondered if it's related to the book.
I've had others tell me they can't share from the BLN Facebook page but some have been able to share directly from the blog using the link. You might give it a try. And I'd love to hear it if works.
And I also appreciate you sharing posts. Thanks!
