Hello and welcome! Your journey with us starts here. Friends, I’m back with a new journey, so buckle-up, it’s a “Doozy!”
The intricate web of lies spun by demonic forces has captivated and ensnared humanity for millennia. From the corridors of power to the intimate sanctuaries of the human soul, demons have employed their cunning deceit to manipulate individuals, institutions, and ideologies.
This essay delves into the multifaceted strategies demons employ to deceive humanity through government, health, science, education, religion, finance, and war, examining how they utilize human vessels and invade their very essence. Alongside this analysis, biblical truths from the (KJV) illuminate the spiritual battle raging beneath the surface.
The Corruption of Government: Puppet Masters of Deception:
Demons often find fertile ground in the realm of politics, where power and pride reign supreme. They influence leaders to pursue agendas rooted in greed, oppression, and manipulation, masquerading these motives as noble causes. Governments are weaponized to propagate fear, foster division, and suppress truth.
The Apostle Paul warned of this spiritual warfare, stating, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).
Demons thrive on the chaos created by corruption, instigating wars and policies that devastate populations. Through lies and half-truths, they sow distrust among nations, perpetuating cycles of violence and despair. The ultimate goal is to erode faith in divine justice, steering humanity toward self-reliance and rebellion against God.
Health and the Perils of False Hope:
Friends, in the realm of health, demonic deception manifests in both the neglect of holistic well-being and the exploitation of suffering. They propagate misinformation and fear-mongering, leading individuals to trust unproven remedies or pursue fleeting cures that provide no true healing. Jesus Himself demonstrated the power of divine healing, saying, “They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick” (Luke 5:31).
Demons also prey on the despair of chronic illness and mental health struggles, whispering lies that lead to hopelessness or dependence on destructive habits. Through these tactics, they separate individuals from the truth that ultimate healing and restoration come from God alone. However, the fact that we live in a modern era implies that the “pharmaceuticals” are something that most people would relate to in today’s culture.
But friends, let me “wise you” about something: “Pharmakeia” in the Bible.” The word “pharmakeia” is a Greek term found in the New Testament, specifically in (Galatians 5:20 and Revelation 9:21, 18:23, and 21:8). Its meanings vary slightly depending on context, but it is generally associated with:
The practice of sorcery or witchcraft: In the biblical context, “pharmakeia” refers to magical arts often tied to idolatry and deception. Use of potions or drugs: The term can also refer to the use of substances that alter the mind or body, sometimes linked to pagan rituals.
In early Christian writings, “pharmakeia” was condemned as it was seen as a way to manipulate or harm others, often contrary to the worship of God. It is important to note that this term historically included more than just medicine; it encompassed practices tied to spiritual and moral corruption. It was also a door for demons used to inhabit the uneducated sheeple of people!
“The Snake Symbol in Medicine/The snake insignia used in the medical field is derived from two main sources in Greek mythology:“
A) The Rod of Asclepius:
This symbol features a single serpent entwined around a staff and is associated with Asclepius, the Greek god of healing and medicine. The serpent symbolizes renewal and healing due to its ability to shed its skin and appear “reborn” (sounds wicked to me).
B) The rod and serpent also symbolize the delicate balance of life, health, and the curing of ailments.
The Caduceus:
A) Often confused with the “Rod of Asclepius,” the caduceus is a staff with two snakes and wings. It was associated with Hermes, the Greek messenger god, and symbolized commerce and negotiation rather than medicine. It was mistakenly adopted by some medical organizations in the 20th century (demonic).
B) Biblical parallels include the bronze serpent Moses lifted in the wilderness (Numbers 21:8–9), which brought healing to the Israelites who gazed upon it. Jesus later used this event as a metaphor for salvation in (John 3:14–15).
Demons Influence Over Natural Cures:
The idea that “demons” keep humanity from using natural cures often stems from speculative or symbolic interpretations. Here are a few angles to consider:
A) Suppression of Natural Remedies: The belief that demons or other forces obscure natural healing methods is sometimes a critique of modern medicine, suggesting that reliance on synthetic drugs and procedures eclipses the use of natural remedies that God provided.
B) Biblical Worldview: From a biblical perspective, spiritual warfare can involve deception, including distractions or distortions that lead people away from holistic, God-given health solutions.
C) Metaphorical Demons: In a more figurative sense, “demons” can represent greed, corruption, or systems that prioritize profit over well-being, potentially sidelining effective and natural cures.
‘Friends, the last perspective (C), is not directly supported in Scripture but aligns with broader concerns about ethical issues in healthcare and the use of the earth’s resources for healing. Many Christians emphasize discernment and stewardship of natural remedies as part of honoring God’s creation.
How should a Christian view prescription drugs?
‘Friends, many Christians wrestle with their decisions over accepting valid medical therapies, including the use of prescription drugs. The Bible does not give us much on this subject, but if we examine the purposes of prescription drugs, we can present an ideal approach to their uses based on biblical principles.
We know from Scripture that ill health, disease, and death are the result of sin in the world. Much of Jesus’ earthly ministry involved combating that curse, as He healed people everywhere He went (see Matthew 15:31). Jesus is the exact representation of God’s being (Hebrews 1:3), and by healing people He showed us God’s compassion and His identity as the Great Physician who will one day restore all of creation to health (Romans 8:18–22).
So, it is clear from Jesus’ ministry that to seek healing is not wrong; in fact, it is very right! Also, Luke, the writer of both the Gospel of Luke and Acts, was a physician (Colossians 4:14). Dr. Luke may not have dispensed prescriptions in the manner that doctors do today considering it’s demonic applications, but he was in the business of treating people’s physical ailments, using the medicines and treatments of his day.
In the days before prescription drugs, people sought relief from pain in other ways not natural, like feminiated vegetables and fruits . Alcohol is mentioned in( Proverbs 31:6–7)as being given to the terminally ill and others who suffer. Also, in( 1 Timothy 5:23), Paul advises Timothy to drink a little wine to relieve his stomach ailment.
Since other drugs had not yet been developed, fermented drinks were often used as remedies for pain and suffering, and the use of such analgesics is approved in God’s Word. For example, but where did that antibiotic come from? It came from a substance produced by a blue-green mold called Penicillium notatum. Where did the mold come from? God made it. So, we can say that God created the penicillin mold and gave it the useful property of killing infectious bacteria.
God then allowed people to discover this property, isolate the acting agent, and purify it for use in the human body. Is it wrong to use God’s own creation to improve the health of humanity? Not at all. In fact, He is glorified in such discoveries, which makes us less “ignorant to Him.” All of this should help us decide how we should think about prescription drugs. There is nothing wrong with seeking a doctor’s help when we are sick.
There is nothing wrong with taking the drugs that a doctor prescribes in the way that they are prescribed. Are there dangers and side effects associated with prescription drugs? Yes, of course, doctors and pharmacists will explain the risks. Is it possible to abuse prescription drugs, overuse them, or develop unwanted dependencies?
Yes, and the children of God must never allow themselves to be brought under the habitual control of a substance of any type (see( 1 Corinthians 6:12) for this principle is stated in a different context). In the end, a Christian’s use of prescription drugs is between that Christian and the Lord. The Bible does not command the use of medicinal treatments, but it certainly does not forbid it either.
The child of God should care for his or her body as being the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). This means taking preventative care, maintaining a healthy diet, and getting proper exercise. It also means taking advantage of the wisdom that God has given skilled researchers and physicians. We understand that God is the Healer, no matter by what means He heals, and we give the glory to Him.
Science: Twisting the Search for Truth:
While science seeks to uncover the mysteries of creation, demons exploit its discoveries to propagate atheism and materialism. By distorting scientific truths, they promote ideologies that deny the existence of God, encouraging humanity to worship creation rather than the Creator. Paul described this phenomenon:
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like a corruptible man” (Romans 1:22-23). Through pseudoscience and unfounded theories, demons manipulate minds into believing that life is accidental and purposeless, stripping humanity of its divine identity. The result is a world obsessed with self-advancement, blind to the spiritual dimensions of existence.
Education: Poisoning Young Minds:
Education, intended to enlighten, often becomes a battleground for the soul. Demons infiltrate educational systems to instill doctrines that oppose biblical truth, replacing moral absolutes with relative ethics. By promoting secularism and erasing the acknowledgment of God from curricula, they engineer generations that lack spiritual discernment. And allow creatures of abominable means males wearing dresses to read to our early youths!
Solomon’s wisdom underscores the importance of teaching eternal truths: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). Yet, demons work tirelessly to sever this connection, ensuring that young minds are shaped by worldly values rather than godly wisdom.
Religion: Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing:
‘Friends, Perhaps the most insidious of their tactics lies within religion itself. Demons disguise themselves as agents of light, infiltrating churches and faith communities to distort doctrine and lead believers astray. Jesus warned of such deception: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves” (Matthew 7:15).
Through false teachers and corrupted theology, demons introduce heresies that divide and weaken the Body of Christ. They exploit the human desire for spiritual experience, offering counterfeit miracles and revelations that draw individuals away from the true gospel.
Finance: Chains of Greed and Oppression:
In the financial realm, demons manipulate systems to foster greed, inequality, and despair. They prey on humanity’s vulnerability to materialism, convincing individuals that their worth is tied to wealth and possessions. Jesus cautioned against such idolatry, declaring, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24).
‘Friends, by entangling individuals in cycles of debt and fostering economic systems that prioritize profit over compassion, demons create societies driven by self-interest rather than love for one’s neighbor.
The Human Vessel: Inhabitation and Manipulation:
Demons often find willing hosts in individuals who open themselves to darkness through sin, occult practices, or unchecked pride. Jesus Himself cast out many demons during His ministry, revealing their ability to inhabit and control human beings: “And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many” (Mark 5:9).
When demons inhabit a person’s body and soul, they seek to suppress the image of God within, replacing it with chaos and destruction. The individual’s current status is marked by spiritual bondage, often manifesting in physical ailments, mental torment, or moral decay. Yet, hope remains, for Jesus promised deliverance to all who seek Him: “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
War: The Ultimate Expression of Destruction:
War serves as a powerful tool for demonic influence, amplifying hatred, fear, and suffering. Demons whisper lies that justify violence, convincing leaders and citizens alike that conflict is the only solution. James addressed the roots of such strife, writing, “From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?” (James 4: 1).
Through war, demons achieve widespread devastation, turning hearts cold and desensitizing humanity to the sanctity of life. The aftermath leaves spiritual scars, perpetuating cycles of vengeance and alienation from God.
Demons and the Dangers of Gender Idolatry:
‘Friends, now this is the one abomination I wanted to keep for last, it seems to haunt society worse than Halloween! In today’s world, a powerful and unseen battle wages for the hearts and minds of young people. Demons, as spiritual forces of wickedness, work tirelessly to deceive and manipulate. One of their most insidious strategies is the infiltration of gender idolatry into society.
This phenomenon, cloaked in the guise of modern “enlightenment,” twists God’s truth about human identity and creates confusion, division, and spiritual decay. The Bible warns us about such deception, stating, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).
These forces exploit the vulnerability of youth, planting seeds of doubt about their God-given identity and leading them to idolize self-made constructs of gender rather than the Creator. At its core, gender idolatry elevates human opinion above God’s design. The Bible is clear: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis 1:27).
This sacred truth affirms that gender is not a human invention but a divine reality. When society promotes ideologies that distort this truth, it risks plunging young people into a dangerous spiral of confusion and rebellion. Demons capitalize on this distortion by fueling pride and rebellion, traits that Scripture consistently warns against. “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).
By encouraging young people to reject God’s design, these forces lead them away from the truth, leaving them vulnerable to spiritual ruin. The consequences of embracing gender idolatry are profound and far-reaching. Families are fractured, societies become disoriented, and individuals lose their sense of purpose and belonging.
Jesus spoke of the devil’s ultimate agenda, saying, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” (John 10:10). This agenda is clearly at work in the propagation of gender confusion, which steals joy, kills hope, and destroys identity. To combat this spiritual attack, we must arm ourselves with truth and love. Paul urges believers to “put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11).
This includes teaching young people about their identity in Christ, affirming their value as God’s creation, and lovingly correcting the lies that society promotes.
‘Friends, the infiltration of gender idolatry is a deadly scheme orchestrated by unseen forces to manipulate and destroy the younger generation. By standing firm on the truth of Scripture and showing Christ-like love, we can help rescue those caught in the snare of this deception (old and young), and lead them to the freedom and joy found in God’s design and not the past and modern day things of “Sodom and Gomorrah.
‘Friends, in conclusion what it means is equipping; “The Armor of God Against Deception.”
The lies of demons permeate every aspect of human existence, from institutions to individuals. Yet, believers are not without hope. Paul exhorted the faithful to “put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11). Through prayer, scripture, and unwavering faith in Christ, humanity can resist the forces of darkness and reclaim the truth.
As the world hurtles toward an uncertain future, the spiritual battle intensifies. The demonic web of lies seeks to engulf the world, but the light of God’s truth remains unquenchable. By exposing these deceptions and standing firm in the faith, humanity can overcome the darkness and walk in the victory secured by Jesus Christ.
