Season 5 Podcast 17, Argument for the Existence of God, Episode 26, “How Satan Works Pt 2.”The new world order understands that to control the individual, they must control the environment, and Christianity stands in the way. A new world order cannot replace our democratic republic as long as a belief in self-reliance, freewill, agency, freedom, and liberty, as well as a belief in the importance of the individual, a belief in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and a belief in God override a belief in the state.Those who promote the new world order know that Christian values must be replaced with Political Correctness; otherwise, conscience cannot be controlled. They understand that critical thinking must be replaced with indoctrination, truth with propaganda, freedom with rights, and absolute law with relative ethics; otherwise, the soul cannot be controlled. Have you given thought to what gives you freewill? By that I mean your basic makeup? We think of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell as our link to the physical world. Those are gifts of God that inherently come with the body, but there is more than animalism that separates man from all other living things. We have a mind superior to all other intelligences on earth. We have a spirit that is immortal, that contains life in itself. We are spirit children of God with a divine nature. Only in the spirit is there life, consciousness, intelligence, and freewill. It is not in the physical body. We have a heart that feels eternal things that the other senses do not feel. We have—and this applies to every human being on earth—the spirit of Christ given to us at birth that helps us discern right from wrong. We have access to the Holy Ghost which bears witness of Christ and gives inspiration, revelation, and intuition to our souls. We are very complex beings living in a complex world.Science tries to convince us that we are animals, machines, or robots without freewill. That is a false analogy. Our intelligence or consciousness has always existed and will continue to exist from eternity to eternity. Each of us is unique in the universe, and there is no doppelganger, no clone, no other you.One of the greatest gifts of God is agency. He protects our agency. We may give it away, but it cannot be taken from us. Satan wishes to take away our agency and freewill, but he doesn’t have the power, though he wants us to think he does. We must give it away of our own accord.There is another element to our nature that the world denies but Christians do not. We are enticed by God to do good. We are enticed by Satan to do evil—that is the core of agency. Without that dual enticement there would be no agency. That is the only reason God allows Satan to remain on earth. In the Apostle Peter’s words as stated in 1 Peter 5:2 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”2 RONEvil spirits, though invisible to our gross eyes, are real. “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.” What do you think those evil spirits are doing on earth. They have no physical bodies. They do not sleep. They do not eat, drink, and be merry. They do not feel love or joy or happiness. All they know is misery and hatred and anger, and their goal is to make your life as miserable as theirs. Later in Revelation 12 John records.
