The current circumstances of the world’s global circumstances position humanity in a situation that makes life extremely challenging and limits faith in God. Political, business, health, education, and religious leaders are playing into Satan’s powerful plan of deception that includes an external spiritual war that utilizes culture to influence the thinking of people not to believe in the truth and an internal theological war to confuse and limit the minds of believer’s not to practice the truth. Satan has engaged in warfare against God since before creation (Isaiah 14:12–14 and Ezekiel 28:12–18). This spiritual battle is manifesting in our modern times like never before, and its prophecy is predicted in the Scriptures. Satan continues expanding his power with deceptive authoritarian influence using a progression of ten filters leveraged through culture to limit the potential and possibility for people to experience faith:
1). Distraction,
2). Disorder,
3). Distortion,
4). Dissonance,
5). Dysfunction,
6). Delusion,
7). Disillusionment,
8). Derangement,
9). Disadvantage,
7). Detriment,
8). Demonic,
9). Destruction,
10). Dictatorship
Satan sows deception by causing distractions; life is consumed with issues that demand your focus. Disorder is caused by social issues that are local, state, regional, national, and globally involved, and it allows for confusion and provides an opportunity to deceive people. Another filter is the distortion of the truth, externally against creation and internally through abundance; people are deceived into thinking about the good life, not the Godly life. Satan loves to distort the truth because a partial truth is an effective deception; it affects your thinking, feelings, and behavior. Partial truth leverages the confusion in your mind and leads to dissonance. Dissonance is inconsistency in one’s thinking and feeling that, over time, leads to dysfunction. Dysfunction establishes delusion, a false belief or judgment about one’s reality, held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary of actuality, causing issues in one’s mental conditions. Delusion leads to a disadvantage where people can’t compete, perform, contribute, or fully function. Because of the element of disadvantage, there is an experience of detriment. Detriment to your quality of life, level of thinking, and intensity of feelings that intensify beyond normal ranges. At this point in a person’s life, you are wide open to the influence of the demonic, whose sole purpose is destruction. Demonic influence is always destructive, manifesting delusion and disillusionment in how people think, feel, and act in a way that defies logic. Lastly, dictatorship is the opposite of freedom, full functioning, and full potential. Dictatorship is a form of enslavement and is always about limiting people. Satan filters everything in your life to distort the truth to deceive you. It’s hard work to filter out all the misrepresentations, misinformation, disinformation, and false information. It’s easier to believe a lie than the truth.
