WAKE UP PEOPLE OF JESUS!!!

Today isn't such a good day but that's just because I am supposed to be in Montreal with my mom and I am not. I'm at home in an empty house sitting in my misery.
Aside from that though, I've spent the last couple days pondering my lovely Jesus and and the spiritual world that I can't see. I'd like to share what I've learned and also why I love Jesus so much.

So I was looking on Facebook "groups" and came across a Satanist group. Curious to see what Satanists talk about, I clicked on the group and opened a can of worms that has sent me completely reeling for a couple days. First off I felt there was a layer of protection around me as I read this stuff and researched things pertaining to Satan and so for your sake I ask God right now to protect you as I write and explain things that may be disturbing or upsetting to you. The unknown is always scary but just remember that God is bigger and more powerful than anything Satan can throw at us.

Okay so I started reading this stuff in this group about what Satanists believe and I was shocked at how totally TWISTED this stuff was. It listed 11 commandments that Satan gave to some guy and most of it sounded like God's commandments, just turned around. For example, Satan commands that his followers worship no other God but him, and so on. I found it amazing that people were so into Satan believing that he actually LOVES them!! At first I was quite upset that it seems these people are so spiritual and that they know more about spirituality etc. than most Christians. I was mad because God doesn't seem to be as present as Satan does. I read that Satan gives his people Demon's to work with and Demon's to teach you everything you need to know and that Satan himself will reveal himself to you. They say that when you give your life and your soul to Satan he will immediately start to invest in you and look after you when you are in trouble by sending Demons to your side. Like I said, this bothered me at first because as disturbing as it is, it seems like he is very present and God is so distant and far away and we never get to see the angels that God sends to our side when we are in trouble. But then God explained to me that he looks after his people in the way he does because that is all he has. He gives incentives to people and tells them he will give them great wealth and happiness (this is actually one of his decrees or promises). But THAT IS ALL HE HAS!!! Without people to keep under his control he has nothing. He lures them in with worldly promises and promises that do not benefit your soul. He tells them to give in to every human pleasure and warns them not to be lured by the false and evil Christian God called Jehovah. They know full well that God exists but they refuse to call him anything but Jehovah. They also acknowledge that Jesus exists but they call him "The Nazarene". They said to be careful because Jehovah's angels are beginning to reveal themselves. And two of his decrees I found most interesting and humorous was that Satan believes he is going to live forever. He must know he isn't but he obviously likes to tell his followers this. And also, "Three things are against me and I hate three things". A satanist explained that this means the "xian trinity".
Overall the things he teaches is fascinating because I can clearly see how wrong, twisted and pathetic it is. The website says, "In contrast to the helpful Demons Satan provides us with, angels are cruel, unfeeling, sadistic, and evil beings who look down upon humanity. One only needs to look at the Christian bible, especially the book of revelation. Angels have repeatedly been messengers of misfortune and instigators of mass murder. Many times, beings and entities from the Christian 'god' will masquerade as Demons, or spirits of Satan. Remember, the Christian 'god' uses ignorance and fear to enslave humanity. People who are open to Christianity or actual Christians are the most vulnerable to negative influences. Some who investigate Satanism and the occult have a bad or terrifying experience, go running back to Christianity, more holy than ever before, and rant about how 'evil' Satan is, when all along it was the Christian 'god' and his angels, frightening them back into the fold". ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? It's so sad to see how blind these people are. And yet it's even sadder that most Christians don't even know this stuff. They don't know how our enemy really works. They don't know the tactics he is using to gain followers. It's funny because everything I just said could be something a Satanist could say about us. When I read this stuff and think about Christianity, I see this mental picture:

It's a dark daylight but instead of grey clouds and sky it looks more orange with a red hue. On Satan's side of the camp you see Demons working like mad gathering anyone who will fight for them. They work tirelessly trying to equip humans with their black armor that seem to come alive when it touches their skin. Some armor actually absorbs into their bodies and they become a completely different entity. Almost like they are no longer human because they don't have any more say over their bodies. All around the perimeter of the camp there is Chaos and noise. Nothing is able to be interpreted, there's just noise and unrest. There are some humans on the edge of the camp unsure of whether they want to be involved in battle at all but surrounding them are more Demons trying to alter their senses and persuading them to join. They whisper to them that they wont have to fight they just have to give their souls to "Father Satan". Who needs their souls anyway? As soon as they are convinced they are brought in to the camp and covered with armor, given a wicked weapon and sent out. All around them are animal corpses and the stench of evil and perverted messes but all the humans see is the earth in it's blue and green glory. They can't see any of the darkness surrounding them and so they continue on in their ways not knowing what they are opposing. The one thing that stands out about this army is that they are passionate. Every one of them come to know Satan and what he is capable of. They join in on his arrogant and selfish ways. By the time they go to battle, they all know who they are fighting for. Despite the constant quaralling among each other and the death, they are all unified with one purpose. Others will see the mess and the Chaos and try to run but unless they run into Jesus' camp, they never make it.

Over on Jesus' side it is quiet and peaceful. The sky is no different but over here it just seems kinda beautiful and still. The people within are happy and content. There are MANY people in this camp but they seem to be split off into huge groups that could even look like cliques. One group is full of humans on their knees in intercession. These people are aware that there is a battle on the horizon. These people know there is already war being fought just outside the camps. They are asking God to fight on their behalf and sitting in the midst of them are angels going over God's battle strategy with his willing people. In another group we see restless Christians. They can't sit still so they are always moving. They want to get going into the war and fight. Most have no clue what they are even fighting for, they just want to go. Sometimes they end up fighting with each other and between them are angels trying to keep the peace and keep them focused on their Jesus and their goal. There are other groups just standing around looking like a deer in the headlights. They have no clue what they are supposed to be doing. You see angels trying to assist them with their sparkling silver armor and they are looking around bewildered. You see other angels trying to explain to them how to use their weapon over and over and not getting anywhere. And again in another group you see the people all wearing the same sparkling armor but arguing about theirs being better and stronger than their brother. This group is also arguing about how their denominations are better and more effective than their brother's denomination. Despite this there are other groups of hundreds of people and angels worshipping together. They are singing with all their hearts and this seems to brighten other Christians and encourages the ones who feel lost. There is another group made up of mostly women. They are the ones healing the wounds of those who went out to battle and got injured. They are the ones gently bringing deliverence to those who managed to escape the enemy's camp. They are the mothers who go around with words of encouragement and love to heal the wounds that most of God's followers brought with them before they even knew God. Some are self-inflicted and others were a direct result of the enemy. When you are not in the protection of Jesus' camp you are free game to enemy and his Demons.
And within all these groups all around and inside this camp are THOUSANDS of people sound asleep. They are curled up in one spot peacefully sleeping and totally unaware of what is going on around them. You see angels trying to shake them awake and even other humans trying to get them to wake up but to no avail. They are then informed that those who are sleeping are choosing to sleep. Some will wake up and take up their spots at the front lines and other will sleep right through battle until Jesus comes. They know Him and they love Him but they have excuses of how they "just didn't get enough sleep the night before". They choose not to wake up. The one thing that stands out about this army is that the King they are fighting for knows each one intimately and loves them so deeply he is willing to to spend an eternity raising them up to properly fight. He is patient and kind with each one. He waits to begin full on battle just in case one more decides to join him. He cares for and heals each person that comes to him for help. He personally greets them and raises them up to be proper warriors. And even though this army is still lacking complete unity, when the horn sounds to announce Jesus' arrival, they will all straighten up and come to full attention and in that time they will all know EXACTLY what they need to do and WHO they are fighting for.

God has shown me that Satan has nothing to hold onto. Not permanently anyway. He gives his followers fake promises and tells them that the Christian God is the one who is evil.
I read a book called, "Just Give Me Jesus" and in it the author describes how while in England, she met a banker who dealt specifically with money fraud. She said to him basically, "Wow, you must spend hours looking at different types of counterfeit money!" and he replied, "On the contrary, I spend hours looking at the real thing. That way I will know the difference instantly when there is a counterfeit." This is what we need to do and do not do it!!! So like I said, although I researched the enemy's followers and looked at the counterfeit, I seem to not spend enough time studying and getting to know the real thing. When I do, then I will know when anything that is not of God comes along.
And so with this said, I am encouraged and happy that I am in the process of getting to know the King that I worship. I speak to all those who are choosing to sleep to WAKE UP! Get on your armor, grab your weapon, go spend some time with Jesus so you will know his plans and then fight. We wont lose if we listen to Him. Satan will NOT live forever and Satan does NOT love his followers and he does NOT love you.
Just think about it a little bit.

Satanism is all about power. Satan is striving for power, demons are striving for power, and so are people. They only help each other when it benefits themselves. As Christians we humble ourselves and die to ourselves and submit fully to Jesus, so we go against the world and against Satan and against human nature. We give up all power in and of ourselves and simply trust God.

There is a book called "He Came to Set the Captives Free" by Rebecca Brown that you might find interesting and insightful. I own it but I must have lent it out to someone because I can't find it.

You've been researchin'. :) Like Kelly said, you'd probably really like Rebecca Brown stuff. It's old, but it's interesting.

So fascinating that Satan's message is "love" ~~ we're all looking for the same thing, right?
