How satan tricks us (2): Creating Conflict

Satan knows human nature too well. He knows it better than us humans. He knows we are proud. He knows that we love to see the evil in others, and see only the good in ourselves. He knows that humans will only fight for what they think is right. So, what better way but to create conflict between humans.

He uses conflict to promote hate between people, lies about others and enslaves people to fear of being attacked or bullied by others. He is able to do this only because of our pride in ourselves. Pride blinds one from seeing what is true. Ultimately, he tries to blind the unsaved to stop them from seeing the Truth.

It is the role of the true Church to evangelise the lost and fight evil. Only the true Church has all the answers because it knows God who knows everything. The unsaved who are spiritually blind cannot understand evil for what it really is - evil from the heart because they know not sin. Thus, the unsaved cannot be blamed for evils. As harsh as this sounds, only the true Church can be blamed if it doesn't stand up and resist evil.

The modern Church has failed to resist evil by failing to even understand how evil liberalism, feminism, secularism, evolution and humanism. It cannot blame the unsaved as it usually does for evil. The unsaved cannot be expected to understand that which is truly good which can only be determined according to God's standards. Thus, the modern Church needs to repent of blaming the unsaved, which ultimately comes from its own pride and reach out to the lost and actively resist all evil doctrines, institutions and norms in all areas of life, both in the public sphere and the family.

Once the Church compromises with the world in any way, even in the slightest bit, it fails to be salt and light of the world.

Signs of a Person under the spirit of mammon

Both the unsaved and saved can be under the spirit of mammon. Do not be deceived! An unsaved person can only serve mammon because it is not part of his nature to submit to God in any way (Romans 8:7). However, the Christian can most definitely yield to the temptations of mammon just as he can yield to the temptations of satan. This is what is means for a Christian to be under the spirit of mammon. The signs of a person being under the spirit of mammon are: The person does not understand the spirit of mammon. This is because he or she is blinded by it and therefore cannot see it. The person reacts whenever being confronted with being told that they are under the spirit of mammon, or being told that they may be under it. This is not the person themselves reacting, but the spirit of mammon reacting. The person is self-satisfied with the abundance that they have. This is especially the case with many Christians today. They are happy with having a family, a well-paying job, security

Two types of contentment

The world seeks contentment. It seeks to be contented in pursuit of all kinds of things, whether it be money, health, wealth, romance, sex, careers or family. It does not necessarily seek after riches to be content. However, that one does not seek after money as the first priority, but other things that are typically associated with good traditional values, such as family, does not in any way mean that one is content in the godly sense. By no means! A person can be a "conservative" and "religious" but just as earthly as the "liberal". There are two types of contentment: earthly contentment and godly contentment. Earthly contentment finds its fulfillment and satisfaction in things that are passing away, not necessarily money, but also things like family, education and children. Yes, that's right. Many professing American Christians think that they could never be under the spirit of mammon because they care for their families and love their families, a

The spirit behind Debt, the spirit of Mammon, seeks to Blind, Control, Enslave and Dominate by debt

Many people just cannot understand what usury is for what it is. Thus, in order for people to understand what exactly usury is, they must be made to understand debt first. Debt is not merely money to be repaid. It has power. Debt indeed is power, which comes from a source not from God: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).  One can discern that debt has a power behind it if one uses one's godly discernment. Debt brings spiritual bondage to a person, not merely financial bondage, but spiritual bondage. The real issue with debt for all people whether unsaved or saved is that it keeps people from fully serving God. It is a spiritual stronghold of mammon that panders to the flesh, to make a God-hater even more hostile against God, by feeding on his flesh to increase its appetite even more. It is also a spiritual stronghold
