Satan's Arsenal Exposed

The Pathway to Destruction is a superhighway. Many have taken this passageway throughout history and the highway is becoming more congested daily. Some people go into the destruction roadway fully aware of their actions and where they are being led. Many prospects have no idea what is happening until it is too late. They are hoodwinked recruits who will one day awake and find themselves hopelessly entrapped with no way out. Others will only get partway down the path before they realize their guide has bamboozled them into something that has no good ending. These are the lucky or blessed ones. The truth is that the entrance to this pathway is a beautiful one. One old proverbial saying on the subject reminds us that, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It is an enticement that has been purposely made to persuade, beguile and draw the unaware victims. People will be tempted to consider this road at least if they stop and listen to the deceptive words of the recruiter. Satan’s men and women are hard at work and have an agenda to fulfill. His warriors will say and do whatever it takes to keep you from becoming a strong Christian believer. Followers of Christ, a person of faith, or someone who has denounced God’s family are all preconditioned and prone to be persuaded by the charlatan. You are already on route to destruction. The truth is that everyone’s pathway to destruction is the same and someone else completed it for us. But there are some who want to make the road much more complicated and injurious while on this earth. The wise are not participating in the devil’s schemes now or in eternity. The word translated schemes in the Bible is only used twice in the New Testament, once in Ephesians 4.14 and once in 6.11. The original wording means, crafty scheming with the intent to deceive—‘deceit, scheming. Satan is crafty and so are his workers. The devil’s army is made up of men and women just like you. Cult leaders and followers, especially recruiters, are trained deceivers. Sin still plagues everyone today and has since the Garden of Eden. Mankind is evil by nature (Ephesians 2.3; Romans 3.23). Our mortal bodies are also depraved and reprobate. Humans are prone to sinful ways. This is the condition wherein we live, and Satan has a plan to cause everyone to fall to eternal hell. The devil has a plot or formula custom designed just to destroy souls. As found in every book of the Bible, when people allow themselves to be exposed to any sort of deception they are flirting with contamination (sin), they compromise their belief and faith in God. Once contaminated, the sinner, trying to justify their actions, finds themselves compromising the Word of God (God’s Word edited by man becomes man’s word). Sin in action (iniquity) is rooted, faith is diminished, and the once professing Christian is destroyed (Given over to the life of disobedience Romans 1.28). When it comes to Sects, Cults, Occults, and other False Religions, the pathway is the same as the one that will take you away from Heaven’s gates with or without these influences. Sin is the main culprit, and iniquity is the most certain way to destroy your chances with God’s redeeming grace. The path’s progression goes like this: The first thing that happens is that the core life lessons that were likely taught by those who reared you to get contaminated. Some deception shakes your basic good. Second, once convinced that there is some benefit or false good in what has been heard or experienced, so you yield to the temptation, and thereby a compromise of fundamental roots become jeopardized. You have just compromised your eternity. Finally, once compromise has been effected and the temptation has secured a hold on our lives, destruction will follow every time. Consider a few physically unhealthy habits like smoking, alcohol consumption, illegal illicit drugs, and even sexual sins. Our morals become contaminated by deceivers. Smoke anything long enough, and your lungs, heart, and other organs will suffer, drink too much alcohol, and the body and brain cells will respond negatively. Inject or ingest drugs laced with who knows what; the body will suffer chemical toxicity and die. False religions are cults, especially occult organizations under the guise of religions, introduce to the would-be member any number of lies about their idols. They are professional deceivers. The newcomer is searching for something, and it is the resolve of the sect to identify this need. The next move by the recruiter is to meet that need, even if it means deceiving you with lies and misinformation. Their ritualistic group will don any costume necessary to lure the naive victim into their community. The lies that you are told and choose to believe are intentional trickery. So believable are their untruthful promises that many are taken unawares into clutches from which there may be no escape. Remember that Satan is the father of lies (John 8.44) and so is his army of false religious leaders lie. They lie a lot. Practitioners are well-trained to both do and say the devil’s will. The most important thing for the Christian to remember through all of the following pages is that cults and occults, false prophets and practitioners, nor any other representative of the devil do not possesses any power over you that you do not give them. In fact, when confronted by the Logos (the word of God), Satan will flee every time.
