“Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar,
and the father of it. “
John 8:44

.
.
Back in the 1970’s, a certain saying was popularized…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!”
.
And this was merely mocking Christians, who were seemingly obsessed with pointing the accusing finger at the Devil.
.
Then they could all laugh and mock the notion that Satan is a very active and powerful force controlling the peoples of this world, by sarcastically chanting…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!“

SATAN, “THE GOD OF THIS WORLD”
2nd Corinthians 4:4
.
But the horrifying fact is, the Devil does indeed cause the vast percentage of the world’s inhabitants to do a great amount of things!
.
After all, the above signature verse reveals a truth that practically nobody realizes or accepts! It is perhaps the most egregious truth in all of the Bible!
.
And this above verse from Ephesians reveals that Satan is indeed… “the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”
.
And let’s face it! To admit that the entire world’s inhabitants are filled with this evil spirit is more than anybody is willing to accept, much less admit!

PANDEMIC CRAZINESS!
.
Perhaps, the greatest proof that an actual, literal Devil (Satan) exists, is the pandemic insanity which is currently causing the craziest world-wide movements.
.
From the abject lies, hypocrisy and deceit coming from our politicians…
to the cover-ups and deceit regarding the pandemic economic shutdowns…
to the cancel-culture in which everything, from basic human biology, to even our very language is being canceled, lied about, and manipulated, all in attempt to destroy the very foundations of the western nations.
These are just a few of the countless crazy occurrences now happening!
.
It seems to many people, that the world is going crazy!
.
And just look at all the hypocrisy and dishonesty in this nation and around the world!
We’ve never seen such a display of hypocrisy, lying and deception as we are now witnessing!
.
It almost seems as if the news media and government lie even when they don’t have to, simply because lying has become so habitual for them!
And the public has come to expect such dishonesty, no longer even raising an eyebrow!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
But the question to be answered in today’s devotional is, “Why is there so much lying and hypocrisy going on in this nation?”

MADNESS IN OUR HEARTS
.
Oh yes, the Bible reveals concerning the human race…
“also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil,
and madness is in their heart while they live,
and after that they go to the dead.”
Ecclesiastes 9:3
.
As this above verse reveals, madness exists in the hearts of humanity.

A NEW LEVEL OF INSANITY!
.
Well, this is merely one example of how “the god of this world” is causing such unthinkable paradigm shifts, that would have been laughed off as “impossible”, just a few short years ago!
.
Well, no one is laughing now!
.
.
.
.
.
.
GOOD NEWS: “A PLACE OF REFUGE!”
.
But is there any Good News to be gleaned in this seemingly hopeless world?
.
Is there any way of escape from this pandemic madness which is now sweeping through our land like a giant tsunami?
.
Yes, there is a, “place of refuge, and…a covert from (this approaching) storm!” Isaiah 4:6

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.

.
REVELATION 12 DRAGON CONSTELLATION
.
.
.
.
LOCATION…
.
The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.
The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.
This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.
The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Aries and Pisces.
Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape.
The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus.
The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the Cetus Constellation.
.
BODY HARD TO SEE
.
The long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark, starry night.
The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus .
.
.
.
.
.
.
FIRST APPEARS IN MID-SUMMER
.
This Dragon constellation appears in the eastern horizon about mid-summer in the pre-dawn hours, spewing his flood-waters northward toward the Revelation 12 Woman in Travail (not pictured in this chart).
.
The Wave of Water is primarily composed of the Constellation Auriga.
There are two dimmer stars (#’s 1 & 2) which are closest to the Dragon’s mouth.
These two dimmer stars are also part of this Wave of Water, but are not part of the Auriga Constellation.
