Giving the Devil His Due<\/h2>\n Even though I strongly dislike the behavior of Satanists who mock Jesus Christ and belittle and advocate for abortion, I must give credit when credit is due.

While some may identify as Christian on paper or attend a Christian service, a great number of individuals do not consistently, if ever live by Christian principles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Satan Speaks Through the Music Industry<\/h2>\n**** ** A Kingdom. A Gift from God.<\/p>\n ** For those on the fence, pick a side. We either work for the god of this world or the all-mighty God of the Universe. Our life on earth is temporary. Why damn ourselves for eternity to have temporary power, wealth and fame.<\/p>\n ** ****In addition, I am a bit baffled to see seemingly smart individuals like people who work in the news media readily support and align with the Satanic Agenda, especially aligning with performers in the music industry like Miley, Beyonce, Rhianna and many more.<\/p>\n Perhaps, people like Hoda Kotb, Savanah Guthrie and Al Roker<\/a> rather accept false information (Illusory Truth Effect<\/a>) than lose their high paying jobs. The music industry\u2019s increasing transparency about its contributions to certain agendas is becoming more evident, particularly in genres like pop and rap music.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Hoda Kotb, left, and Dylan Dreyer film a live broadcast on the set of The Today Show in New York City, Nov. 11, 2022.

Hip-hop artists, fans, stoners, and weed enthusiasts often use the term.<\/em><\/p>\n ** ******\nFalse Values and False Prophets<\/h2>\n****** Have you fallen from Grace?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Furthermore, the truth is that the majority of so-called Christian American leaders including our Presidents do not exemplify Christian values nor follow the teachings of Jesus. Their actions reflect a pursuit of control, power and wealth, rather than a commitment to the principles of Christianity. Their values closely resemble the Satanic principles including the Luciferian Doctrine<\/a>, reflecting a disturbing reality within our nation and the world.<\/span><\/p>\n We follow the many laws of man, not the laws of God.\u00a0 We are a man-made society and indeed a fallen nation. The Lust for Power is a Satanic principle. And what about Pride? Greed? Take sin seriously. We are falling from Grace quickly.<\/p>\n <\/h2>\n**<\/h2>\n************* There is Nothing to Fear<\/h2>\n ** ** Tom Ellis of the TV show \u201cLucifer\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ** Unfortunately, throughout the past century, and especially in today\u2019s society, a significant number of individuals are influenced by the messages and narratives put forward by leaders and the media in the United States. As a result, many of us tend to shape our lives based on these influences.<\/span><\/p>\n ** How can we as human beings make better choices when our decisions are heavily often influenced by the media, parents, teachers, and political leaders? Their influence and control limit our freedom to make our own choices.
