Sometimes I wonder why we are so nonchalant about spiritual things which deadens our consciences and minds because we don't so much care about what goes through our mouths, eyes, noses or ears. Maybe it's because we can't see the spiritual that's why we don't really care.
There are certain things that should be on our "Prayer lists" rather than on our "Playlists". Some music and movies which only tend to promote evil and immoral lifestyle for instance, these should be on our Prayer lists, not on the Playlists.
If only our inner eyes, or our spiritual eyes would be open for a moment, and if we could see the activities happening right before us, we would really understand that so many things that happen in life are not normal. And literally, people would be afraid to walk outside, because the atmosphere is seriously contaminated with 'demonic pathogens.'
Most especially in the middle of the night, when men sleep without having a single idea of what's happening, so many rituals from the other side take place. God is even so merciful; people would sleep and wake up the next day, going about their daily activities comfortably as though nothing happened the night before.
We (so many) easily lose sight of the invisible (most important things) because we are so soaked in the realm of the physical. We believe just what we see, and if we can't see them, then we don't believe they manifest, which is why we are so naive, easily manipulated by virtually everything around us. And many have been in perpetual bondage, thinking it's normal.
Never you believe that the universe is normal. What's gonna be is gonna be, right? But that's not always true! Many things that be are not in line with God's intentions for humanity. Principalities, princes and powers do exist, which is why the universe can never be normal. It stopped being normal when man listened to the serpent in the garden. Irregularities take place every moment. Destinies are altered, lives are shattered and important things are scattered by the wicked ones.
You think it's normal that a human being would pick up a weapon to end the life of another without any remorse? Or you think it's ordinary when people die at a very tender age?
According to World Health Organization, suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among young people today, between the ages of 15 - 29.
Worldwide, more than 700,000 people die due to suicide every year, and for every suicide, there are many more people who attempt suicide. Think about that! This is outside war, or crises, or assassination.
This is not normal! This is heartbreaking! Nah... nah! This is not the will of God for this world.
He says in Deuteronomy 5:33, "Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess."
Anything happening contrary to God's plan is unacceptable and inappropriate.
The world has become so deteriorated to the extent that nothing really surprises anymore. No evil whatsoever you could imagine that has never happened. Evil has become just another regular activity of the day that people perpetrate without blinking an eye.
Modernization or so-called civilization has made thousands of people sway from the path of the truth. They give evil certain names that might not sound negative, but deep inside, you would find the evil in it. A good example is 'swag' (in slang language). If you've got no swag, they say you are old fashioned. Literally, swag means Style; fashionable appearance or manner. But then, when one is not careful about it, deep down, it could have an ulterior meaning.
SWAG :
*S- Smoking and Sensuality
*W- Womanizing and Waywardness
*A- Alcoholism and Aggressiveness
*G- Gambling and Gangsterism
People derive pleasure in deception, delusion, deprivation, damnation and demonization, and you think it's ordinary? Not at all!
Let's see some passages from the scripture:
Matthew 12:34, "O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."
Christ saw these evil things coming, and He prophesied about them in Matthew 24:6, "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another."
There are spiritual altars raised and programmed to control the affairs of humans. And for one to fight against the evil ones among these altars, one would need a higher altar.
The physical can never overcome the spiritual. You would have to go spiritual for you to search for spiritual things, or strive and struggle with spiritual things.
Just like I said in the beginning, many eat anything that goes through the mouth or smoke anything that goes through, talk anything that comes out of the mouth, go anywhere they feel like going, without thinking about the repercussions. They live like they don't care, there's no surprise why the lives of so many have been caged.
