Daily Devotional, Year 2 – NOVEMBER 4

.

The Devil Made Me Do It!

.

Part 4:

“The God of This World Made Us Do It!”

To read Part 1, click here…October 13th (The Devil Made Me Do It!)

.

“But if our gospel be hid,

.

it is hid to them that are lost:

.

In whom the god of this world

.

hath blinded the minds

.

of them which believe not,

.

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,

.

who is the image of God,

.

should shine unto them.”

2nd Corinthians 4:3, 4

.

As this above verse reveals, Satan was long ago given the title: “The god of this World”. 2nd Corinthians 4:4

.

This great position came about when he deceived our first parents in the Garden of Eden.

.

A VERY HARD WORKER!

.

Now as we read the Bible, it becomes evident that Satan is very untiring, ambitious, hard-working!

.

And he wholeheartedly dedicated himself to overthrow Heaven, as well as Heaven’s Jesus!

.

And now that he has been permanently cast out of Heaven, he especially goes after God’s people, deceiving them and accusing them before God.

DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD

.

But Satan likewise deceives the whole entire world!

.

**Listen…*“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,***

called the Devil, and Satan,

which deceiveth the whole world:

he was cast out into the earth,

and his angels were cast out with him.”

Revelation 12:9

.

**So, this above verse reveals Satan’s 24-hour-per-day attack on God’s people!**

Often even in our thoughts and dreams!

SATAN HAS ERASED HIMSELF

.

And yet this cunning warrior is so crafty, he has seemingly erased himself out of existence!

.

Oh no, he’s still around! But he has turned this world into an unbelieving world, filled with false ideologies and counterfeit belief-systems.

.

And thus, Satan still works with relentless fervor and yet operates from behind the scenes under the cloak of darkness and secrecy.

“NOT IGNORANT OF HIS DEVICES”

.

Now the Bible tells us…“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2nd Corinthians 2:11

.

Therefore, O Man of God, both you and I, we are not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices!

.

MAN GETS TOO MUCH CREDIT!

.

So then, knowing all these things, just why are we Christians giving Man so much credit for Man’s so-called accomplishments?

SOME QUESTIONS TO ASK OUR SELF…

.

And having said all that, this devotional would like to ask the next series of questions…

.

For instance, if Satan’s I.Q. is astronomical, then did mere men actually invent the atomic bomb, or did Satan, working through them?

.

And likewise, is this present-day Middle Eastern religious coup of the western societies really a man-contrived religious movement?…

…Or is it Lucifer, who long ago masterminded the coup against Heaven?

.

And is this present-day homosexual uprising the mere product of human desire?

.

Who really invents and manufactures new inventions?

.

**And who really writes the songs? Do humans? Or is it the “god of this world” who once was the master-musician of Heaven?**

.

And who really causes the great paradigm shifts around the world?

WHO REALLY RULES HERE?

.

**Alas, these are just a few questions that we must ask ourselves, knowing that “the god of this world” is hard at work, day and night, deceiving the world.**

.

There are countless radio and television talk shows that all give full credit to mere erring humans for all the various inventions, fashions, ideologies, political events, and etc….

GOD’S IN ULTIMATE CONTROL

.

Fortunately, Satan has to answer to Jehovah God for everything he does!

.

And thankfully, we can rest confident that things haven’t got out of control…

…”And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing:

and He (God) does according to His will in the army of Heaven,

and among the inhabitants of the Earth:

and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, ‘What doest Thou?'”

Daniel 4:35

.

This and other similar passages give us comfort, knowing that ultimately, God is still in control!

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Let me not be ignorant of Satan’s devices, in his role as, “god of this world”. But let me be, “as wise as a serpent” in regard to just what is behind all the so-called creativity and genius of this world…

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE DRAGON OF REVELATION 12 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 .

.
