How Satan Deceives the Masses

I just wanted to give a word here that the Lord's put on my heart to share, and that is about how Satan deceives the masses across the world.


A lot of Christians think that the battle is against atheism, or against evolution, or against witches and warlocks and things that look obvious. But in reality, if you look up what percent of people are actually atheist, it's only like one or 2% in America. It's virtually no one. But if you look up what percent of people are religious or spiritual or Christian, it's almost 100%.


People want to experience God. They want to experience something spiritual. And so if you were Satan, what would you do to distract people? What would you do to convince people of the wrong way but thinking that it's the right way? If you knew that only 1% of people are atheist, would you put all your eggs in the basket of atheism? No, you wouldn't, because 1% of people is not the majority of people. You're only going to be able to take a small portion of people to hell by atheism, so it's not worth convincing the 99% that atheism is the right way.


But the way to lead people to hell, that is the masses to hell, is convincing them that they're going the right way by following their tradition, by following their religion. So you tell Catholics that they're doing the right thing by going to mass. You convince Christians that they're doing the right thing by going to church. You convince evangelicals to go out and street preach. You tell Jews to believe in Jehovah and read the Torah and be obedient to the 613 laws that come from Moses, from God. So you convince all these people that they are doing the right thing and that they shouldn't change.


And you tell big leaders like presidents, kings, influencers, movie actors to encourage these people to be strong to their faith. That's what you would do if you want to take the masses to hell. But you would not focus on atheism or on Darwin. You wouldn't focus on these things because very few people actually believe in atheism and are following evolution. But there's a lot of people who follow a form of Christianity, Catholicism, so that is where you put your focus as Satan, as the devil.


I want to read to you what Jesus said in Matthew chapter 23, because this group of people that Jesus rebukes are people who were convinced that they themselves were the best of the best and were leading other people into heaven.


Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and his disciples, saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses.” What is the chair of Moses? This is the same seat that the pastors today put themselves in. It's behind the pulpit. It's in the place that they think they're a mouthpiece for God. Moses was the leader of his people, and we know that Aaron was actually his mouthpiece, but he was in the seat of God to the people. That's what it says in the scriptures, that he was as God.


Pastors have put themselves in the same position as if they are God to you. And churches think that they are the hand of God, that they're leading people to God. The Catholic Church thinks that they're the one true religion and that if you want to be saved, you have to come through them, their pope, their fathers.


So this is what Jesus says. They've seated themselves in the chair of Moses. “Therefore, all that they tell you, do and observe. But watch this. But do not do according to their deeds, for they say things and they do not do them. They are hypocrites.”


This is the crux of it. A lot of the Christians in the church, they do tell you, “Know Jesus. Repent of your sins. Get rid of addiction. Stop smoking. Stop drinking. Marijuana is evil.” They say all these sorts of things. Don't go to the R-rated movie. Don't be looking at pornography. They preach all of these things, but don't do as they do, because they're hypocrites. They're doing these same things. They say don't do these things, but then they go and they pay their good money to watch movie actors commit adultery and fornication, murder, lust. They laugh at the jokes that Hollywood is putting out.


So in church on Sunday, and then they go and pay their own money to watch movie actors do them. Therefore, they're supporting all of this. So that's why Jesus is rebuking this.


And then they tie shoulders, but they themselves are not. They are unwilling to move them with so much of a finger. Many of the churches do the same thing today. They tell you about them for tithe. Otherwise, you're cheating God. You're robbing God. Thus says the scriptures. These guys are hypocrites because they like the new covenant, not the old. But then when it comes to them supporting their ministry, then they go back to the Old Testament and they pull out an Old Testament law of tithe, which is Old Testament...
