The Spirit of Mammon: Serve your needs first

The spirit of mammon yells out to the people:

"I will give you your needs
Because I know what you need for you
As long as you have all your
Food, water and a shelter
You will be fine

But why don't you strive for more than the basics
Why not?
Apart from that
You can have not only good food, but luxury dining
Drinks, and a fancy home
You can also have someone to support you
In achieving such things

Marriage is a contract, not a covenant
Isn't that good?
It is not your fault, or the other person's fault
In this modern system of no-fault divorce
Marriage is only a contract
Where your partner is sure to work for
Theirs and your material needs

Why wait for buying that house?
Or that car?
You can buy it now
After all
You need them
So you should get it now
So you need to get a loan even though it has an interest charged
Because it is better to get it now than later
You need to buy it now
Since you can, you can do it.

You can repay all your loans plus interest
Just work and work more
Make sure those around you agree to help you pay
If not, they are not your friends - their your enemies
They hate you if they do not agree pay for you

That way,
You can enjoy your best life now
Forget about everything else
Just work to get your needs and
Be satisfied with that."

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...

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...

The spirit of Paganism is of Degeneracy, Rebellion and Bloodlust

Paganism is the rejection and hostility towards all Christian virtues. It is not merely the unbelief in fundamental Christian theological doctrine, but the hatred of Christian virtues. This ultimately leads to the active, outright embrace of all manner of degeneracy. The scriptures describes such paganism in Romans 1:18-32:   For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts wer...
