Satan’s smokescreen
Satan is the god of this world and uses the world system to try and
make Christians think the way he needs them too so he can control them.
Around you there are either godly or ungodly things. So you need
to know whether something is godly or ungodly so that you can deal with
it properly.
Through his worldly smokescreen Satan implies what you see is normal
and by this tries to influence Christians through peer pressure (to
have you do it because everyone else is doing it). Satan tries to tell
you that something is allowed to be done, even though it may seem to be
wrong, because everyone else is doing it.
He uses his worldly smokescreens to hide The Kingdom, Jesus, the Truths
God desires you to know, God’s Love for you, The Body of Christ
(The true church) as well as the things God desires you to do for Him.
He has to convince you that what he offers is better than what Jesus
offers you. That his lifestyle is more desirable and more important
than the one Jesus requires of you. He does this through various means
of which television, movies, videos, magazines and other visual media
are the main ways. Although, at times, peer pressure can be also
be used.
Satan has to use the inputs around you to try and shape your way of
thinking to what he desires it to be. This is why you need to examine
the sources of inputs into your mind to see if they are from God
or Satan. This is why you need to always fill your mind with the
things of God.
