Satan's Conspiracy Against God

The title of this blog is of course a play on the corrupt desires of Satan, who desired to be a god, and in fact, be as God. He expresses that into the world be his sick and evil life, understanding the weaknesses of men and women, and exploiting them for his purposes.

From the beginning he had entered into a conspiracy against God, and that conspiracy continues to this day.

By that I'm not promoting the type of borderline hysteria some believers enter into, when they search out all sorts of odd events or evil happening in the world, and attempt to wrap all sorts of conspiracies theories around it.

That doesn't mean there aren't any real conspiracies. The existence of a fallen being like Satan guarantees there will be conspiracies on the earth in an attempt to frustrate the purposes of God. It's that we shouldn't get overly concerned about them, but rather work to pursue living a quiet and peaceable life in this age and world.

We must be aware of what's going on, but not be distracted from our simple devotion to Christ. That was the real temptation in the garden of Eden, as Paul told us, and we need to remained focused on our own obedience, while taking care of the responsibilities God has given us in this world.

If we end up bring endlessly distracted by all the evil the media reports to us, we won't be fruitful from the word of God we read, hear or receive from others.

That's why Satan attempts to exploit our concern over evil, where he makes it look much more powerful and inevitable than it really is. It's the daily obedience and devotion to Christ as the local level that rolls back evil, and when the followers of Jesus Christ understand that, we will be laser-like in our walk with God, and we won't go down every rabbit hole that we hear about or find. We'll never do anything to bring the New World Order of Jesus in, if we are endlessly reading, hearing or wringing our hands about the latest atrocity or evil emerging in the world

We win when we stay on message and calling. That's what changes the world, that's the new creation expanding across the earth.

How to Win the Battle for Planet Earth

One of the major problems faced by Christians is their being fed the line so much that Jesus is going to return
soon (including specific dates and seasons packaged between the pages of silly and false books).

Now many Christians are reaping the sowing of the sad results of that wrongheaded idea, and are finding themselves unable to cope in this world, let along subdue the earth as we were commanded by the Lord to Adam and Eve.

The good news is Jesus still holds to the Biblical thought that He will sit at the right hand of the Father until His enemies are made a footstool for His feet. We need to embrace that and start working in the promise of victory, as His enemies in this world are surely not a footstool for His feet yet, so He will remain in heaven beside His Father until that is made a realty.

What that implies is we are the agents of that victory, and with the help of the Holy Spirit under the guidelines, laws and commands of the Holy Scriptures, we will secure this earth for the Lord.

Having said that, it must be understood that it could take centuries to do so, or even longer. Jesus isn't going to return because times are getting tough. Rather, He is sifting through the chaff and exposing them to His people in order to get rid of them and not cooperate in any way with their sinful teachings, and in some cases - practices.

The obvious question is this: What do we do? The answer is easy: whatever we are able to do that no one else can do. By that I don't mean if someone is feeding the poor, for example, in your neighborhood or small town, you aren't to participate in that and offer your services. It means we are to identify what our calling is, and faithfully search it out and get excellent in it as we serve.

Since we aren't used to thinking of ruling and reigning in this life, it can be hard to rearrange our thinking. Consequently, at first it may seem difficult to figure out what it is we're to be involved in or pursue.

That's also not too difficult when you dwell upon the idea. Just contemplate life in general, and look at all the different parts of life one can serve in.

We already are doing so in the battle against abortion and homosexuality, but there are many more that need to be under the influence of Christ.

For example, there are the arts and all that is included in them. You could write in a variety of ways, paint, sculpt, and once proficient at them, start to exercise influence by serving others with similar interests.

That's the key by the way. This isn't talking about bossing or ordering people around, but earning an audience with others by faithful and sacrificial service. That's what opens the door for people to listen to what you have to say and be influenced by who you are in Christ.

Going back to the arts, think of writing. There is poetry, short stories, non-fiction, fiction, and an endless number of topics to choose from. Again, the point is to show you there are so many aspects of life that need the influence and rule of Jesus Christ, and until we take those steps, the world will continue to go on as it is, and only get worse. That won't be good for us, our children, or our grandchildren.

What are some other areas to get involved in? There is science, mechanics, family, raising children, taking care of the elderly, euthanasia, faithfulness, entertainment, education, and a plethora of other areas.  Not only that, but within each of these segments of life dozens, if not hundreds of other related topics could be investigated. What we need to do is understand this all comes from service leading to the rule of Jesus Christ permeating the earth.

We don't want to do what believers did back in the time of Constantine when he ruled Rome. They took upon themselves to eventually take over the sick empire and rule it in the form of an ecclesiocracy (the church ruling everything). I don't mean the fictitious separation of church and state, as the people of God are to be salt and light to government as well as all other areas.

Rather, there are different types of institutions, with the primary and most important being government, the church, and the family. Each has its sphere of influence, and each should take its proper role and place in the world. The church is in the teaching role of guiding individuals, government and families in what God has to say about their respective responsibilities.

We aren't trying to take over the world. Who wants to take over death and evil? We are working toward self-government and service, which in all areas of life, will eventually turn the earth into a place obedient unto Christ. It won't become fully obedient, but there will be an overall move in that direction.

This is what it means in the Great Commission, where the disciples were told to teach the nations to do whatever Jesus had commanded them to do, which of course is a reference to the entirety of the Bible.

So be encouraged and don't lose heart. Seek God and the scriptures out, find out what you're called to do, and spend your life serving in that capacity. That is what will bring the kingdom of God to earth, as Jesus taught us to pray, when saying we should pray for His kingdom to come and will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let's pray that prayer, and cooperate with the Lord Jesus Christ to take our part in bringing it to fulfillment.

Nebuchadnezzar and Jesus' New World Order

Daniel 2

39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

46 Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.



In what I consider one of the most fascinating and powerful portions of the Holy Scriptures, God gave a dream to Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, describing the season and significance of the coming of Jesus Christ to the earth to set up His kingdom.

His kingdom, which came into being with the manifestation of the Son of God, was prophesied to be an everlasting kingdom which would stand forever, and one that "shall never be destroyed." It couldn't be any clearer than that.

A new creation had come in the person of Jesus Christ, and after His victorious death, burial, resurrection and ascension to the Father, He was given authority over everything.

Then at Pentecost, with the indwelling of the first believers, He shared  that authority with them, and by extension, to all of those that truly believe on Him.

This is why it states in several places in the Bible that we have been made "kings and priests" unto our God and His Father (Revelation 1:6). 

That isn't all though. It adds that the kingdom set up by God through Jesus Christ "shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms." There aren't two ways to interpret that. It's as clear as can be. God's kingdom will in fact take dominion over all other kingdoms. The question isn't whether or not that is true, the question is what does it mean.

One thing it means for sure is there is going to be a battle between competing kingdoms, and even though Jesus already won the battle at Calvary, that victory is to be worked out in history through His holy and obedient people.

The purpose of this article is to remind you of this, and to encourage you at this time, when it appears by all the outward manifestations that there has been a major defeat. While this has spread across the media, we need to take heart, as these are only temporary setbacks, and really only skirmishes that will escalate going forward.

For now I believe God is using this time to expose false brethren that have infiltrated the church in order to spread their evil and demonic agenda to those who oppose these things, in hopes of convincing them or taking them over in order to control the narrative and deal a death blow to the true believers.

I've got news for you. It ain't going to happen. God is not mocked, and we should take heart at this time concerning these events, as it will strengthen the church and true Christians for what is going to be a whopper of battle in which we will emerge victorious.

So quiet yourselves, rest and trust in Him, and know that the battle is the Lord's, and He is going forth from a position of a victory He has already won. We simply need to learn how to respond to this evil under the guidance of the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Spirit. We will prevail.

Man Shall Not Live By Bread Alone

Dt. 8

1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers.

2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

Mt. 4:4

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.


I am convinced these scriptures and what they mean, must be embraced anew by Christians, as we enter into an extraordinary period of time where we move further into ruling and reining on this earth. That means of course there will be many battles ahead.

The verses in Deuteronomy were delivered a little before Israel was to go and take the promised land. God gave them understanding into why he did what he did with them during that forty years as they waited for the generation that refused to go in to die off.

There's a lot of truth in these Scriptures, but I want to focus primarily on the framework represented in regard to going to battle of taking the land and the coming victories.

First, the word of God as referred to here is directly correlated with the law received by Moses from God and communicated to Israel. Over and over again as they prepared to take the land, God reminded and exhorted them to be sure to remember the covenant and to obey His commandments.

That's also the importance of Jesus' first temptation as well, as He spend forty days and forty nights fasting, which without a doubt correlated with the forty years of struggle Israel had to endure. So it's not surprising food was a part of the first temptation, as that was always a challenge and weakness to Israel, which caused them to complain and in some cases, rebel against God.

In the upcoming battles and promised victories, God wanted Israel to know that even when they were filled and had everything they needed, they had to understand that living in obedience to the word of God was still required, and represented real and full life. We must embrace that same attitude toward God and His commands.

The challenge for God has always been to be able to bless His people without them thinking they accomplished anything in their own strength. They also had a tendency to stop trusting God when they were full, as they were able to see their provision right in front of them, and consequently stopped trusting in God as the source of that provision.

My major point in this article is to show that living by God's word was directly related to His law or commands, and that was strongly emphasized as they prepared to go to battle. It must be the same with us.

No matter what the temporary circumstances we may face concerning struggles and challenges, we have to continue to search out and obey God's Word, as that is true life, whether things at the time are going the way we want them or not.

If we don't respond to God in this way, the result will be to have His word be negated as far as its impact upon us, as the worries and anxieties will choke it out and make it ineffective, as Mark 4 says in the parable of the sower. The problem isn't the Word or seed, the problem is the condition of the ground it is planted in.

Whether we like it or not or are ready or not, we are being forced to engage our enemies, and we need to be sure we're living in obedience to God's commands, or we'll get swept away in defeat.

DT. 11:8 says, "Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;..."

A key part of preparation for successful battle is that we are walking in obedience to God's commands. That gives us strength to enter into warfare and win. This is what Jesus' New World Order is all about.

Just remember, when we are told "man shall not live by bread alone," the framework of that is the commandments God has given us to obey, which are essential to taking the land.
