"... In which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience." Ephesians 2:2
A nefarious, in fact, the Diabolical being himself, Satan, once holding the title of Lucifer (Light-bearer), is very active in our world, and yes, even in our nation today. Today our culture makes light of him, of his existence/reality and moving among our midst. And most of the time, we don't recognize his work. In fact, many who are reading this, have probably already classified this blog as "one for the looney bin."
I wanted to take a minute to promote http://www.goodfight.org/. I've mentioned the site before. Pastor Joe has done some excellent research and putting information and facts together that are out there, but overlooked or dismissed by most of society.
My wife and I ordered one of the DVD sets after viewing the theater portion of his site. TRULY, we were dumbfounded by what we saw!
Many of the music groups you listen to today have been influenced either directly or indirectly by the adversary and his minions. In the late 1800s, Aleister Crowley, raised in a household of Plymouth Brethren Chrisitans, surrundered himself to the devil,and came to view himself as the devil's "chief of staff."
Crowley went on to write a book, The Book of the Law (that is, Satan's Law) that goes on to say, "The whole of the Law is, 'Do what thou wilt.'" Sound familiar? You've heard it through many media and messages in our world/society. "Have it your way!" "Make your own decisions." "Don't let someone else tell you what to do!" and the list could go on ad naseum (great little Latin phrase). It sounds very much like the Humanist manifesto. Hmmm... do you think Humanists and Satanists have the same values? Hmmm.... naaaahhh.... nevermind.
In one of the clips, Pastor Joe features a interview with Elvis' stepbrother Rick Stanley. Rick (and some of the other crew) discussed how Elvis viewed himself as the reincarnation of Jesus. Though, I guess the second time, Jesus' morals were alot lower. Stanley mentioned a time when they were on the road, between shows, and there was a dark rain storm, and Elivs had had enough, and said "That's it!" and he raised his arms through the sunroof much like Moses leading the Israelites through the red sea, and the clouds parted over the highway, still raining on the right side and the left. His crew was amazed. Elvis considered them his disciples.
Elivis read a book by Madame Blavatsky called The Secret Doctrine. Once at an intermission, he was reading form Blavatsky's book, and began speaking with her voice. He had to get one of the band members to continue the reading! Oh, by the way, Crowley said that he and Blavatsky were one. Blavatsky also influenced Anne Bailey who went on to work for the U.N. and took dictation from a spirit called "The Tibetan," (a.k.a. Dwjahl Kuhl). This dictation Bailey took from the Tibetan consisted of a "World Curriculum," a globalist educational document which the U.N. publishes and follows down to this day.
Back to Crowley... he has influenced people like the Beatles (remember Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band? Guess who Sgt. Pepper was. You guessed it, Mr. Crowley himself.) He's also influenced the likes of Charles Manson (interestingly through the Beatles ~ all you need is love, right?), who set a great precedent historically in California. Not to mention other bands like the Beach Boys; yes Brian Wilson himself received music from spirits that othewise normally tormented him as a "low-rumbling" noise in his head.
Jimmi Hendrix's girlfriend mentioned Hendrix's torture of spirits in his mind. Other notables like Carlos Santanya who've had great musical fame and reach have delievered to us angelic music. Many of the heavy-metal/death-metal bands have much more pronounced linkages to the demonic/Satanic. AD/DC, Van Halen, Mega-death... need I go on? Other groups who produce albums with biblical themes like U2, and then go on to sing lyrics, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for!" Really, why not?
Working as a substitute teacher, a yound child in one of my classes was delighting in the music group, Insane Clown Posse, also mentioned on the DVD, shown in a self-made video where they boast of having greater influence on your children than you do! Scary? I'd say. Burn those albums!
The reason I write about this stuff is to raise a warning, to sound an alarm! The Bible tells us about who is controlling world events: 1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God (Christians), and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
As a believer in the true Lord (John 20:28), who is returning for His creation in accord with the Biblical prophecies spoken by the prophets (yes, the Old Testament is still relevant), I can see there is a spiritual conspiracy leading us back to the days of Noah and afterwards when humanity came together as one, to build a temple reaching to the heavens to make a name for themselves. And angels came and married women on earth. Today, angles are still interacting with mankind on a daily basis, though their means have been modified.
Those who took on human form have been thrown into hell (2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6). The LORD God would not permit Satan and his minions to wreck His creation beyond salvation, by their tampering with the human gene pool. The remaining demons do not want to hasten their time to hell, they fear it. But they are deceiving humans through music, through movies, through internet websites, keekping us from looking around/enjoying God's creation, and being influenced by the witness of God's goodness (Rom. 1:19-20). The LORD of all commands us to meditate on His word all the day (Jos. 1:8; 2 Tim. 2:15; Ps. 119:15, 48, 148), but these modern media that have so filled our lives keep us from thinking on/about, being filled with God's word.
The next time you hear Elvis, or listen to the radio, the music may indeed be angelic... but which angels inspired the song? Music was created to glorify God, and point men to Him and His greatness and goodness (Jas. 1:17). Let us guard ourselves, use music for its true nature. If you do not have a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, and the thought of living under the rule of wicked spirits frightens you, Christ Jesus commands you to turn from your sin (anything opposed to the righteous will of God) to One who is Good, and trust Christ to be your Lord and Savior, and study your Bible every day (Rev. 22:6-17; 2 Tim. 2:15).
Jeremiah 29:11-13 11 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 12 'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 'You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
