Satan/Lucifer is the master of delusion. Whosoever rejects the Word of God will, for a certainty, become deluded in one way or another.
When the Prince of Darkness casts his black magic spells of delusion on unsuspecting rejectors of the Word of God, he does not inform them first. The delusions settle in with no awareness by the devil’s victims that they have been spellbound.
Satan’s spellbinding delusions come in all shapes and sizes and yet have one thing in common. They who have been deluded began to believe in lies and call it truth. Worst case scenario is they begin to see everything in terms of evil as good and good as evil.
Isaiah 5:20-21 says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” “Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.”
Scripture reveals that when a rejector of God gets to a certain point of no return, God gives them over to a reprobate mind.
Just what is a reprobate mind, some may ask?
Some of the definitions are these: A morally corrupt person, shameless, depraved, rejected as worthless or not standing the test, foreordained to damnation. A mind that is no longer able to work properly.
In Romans 1:28-32, Paul describes it like this: “And because they did not think it worthwhile to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate [a worthless] mind to do what is morally wrong.
Being filled with unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers.”
These same evil traits apply also to those Paul spoke about to Timothy regarding reprobate minds in the end times, when in 2 Timothy 3:13, Paul declares this prophecy: “But evil people and imposters will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” This also implies that when God gives an individual over to a reprobate mind, they don’t come back. They cannot be fixed. They only get worse from that point on.
Whereas a person, even on the verge but not yet given over to a reprobate mind by God, still has a chance, through repentance, to recover.
We who are watching can observe what Paul spoke of in regard to evil people going from bad to worse, happening in real-time here in the year 2023. Just when you think someone who demonstrates the characteristics of a reprobate can’t sink any lower, they do. Every day there are news stories on Rapture Ready News and other alternative news sights that prove this point again and again.
When a person becomes born again, trusting 100% in Jesus, the Holy Spirit is able to open our eyes of discernment, and the lies of Lucifer are made transparent.
Becoming born again, believing and trusting in Jesus, and filling the mind with the Word of God is the only sure way to break the spells of delusion cast by the Prince of Darkness.
Rejectors of Jesus will remain spellbound by the devil’s delusions without ever realizing or even suspecting that anything has happened to them.
It is not an easy task to convince a rejector of Jesus that they are spellbound by diabolic delusions from the devil. Especially if that poor soul has been convinced by Satan that there is no such thing as Satan.
Rejectors of Jesus who have allowed Satan to convince them that he doesn’t even exist are issuing that devil a free pass to delude them in all kinds of other ways as well.
Satan will cast all sorts of different wicked spells and delude people any way he can. Perhaps his most favorite topic to delude people with, however, is theology.
The Prince of Darkness has developed false theologies to fit every culture and situation. He knows that if he can get a person, or better yet, a whole nation’s theology messed up, much evil will follow.
False theologies cause great divisions. The strategy of “divide and conquer” was invented by the Father of Lies.
False theologies also fulfill the number one goal from out of the satanic playbook, causing rejection of Jesus as The Way and the Truth and the Life.
One thing that Lucifer, the fallen angel, seems to love at least as much if not more than false theologies is introducing heretical doctrines into the one true theology.
What is the one true theology? Jesus said it best, “I am the way and the truth and the life, and no man comes to the Father except through me.”
Born-again believers, and sometimes even whole churches, might forget to put on the “Armor of God” (Ephesians 6:10-18) and thus let down their guard by compromising with the world or getting lazy with God’s Word. If that happens, Satan always has one of his spawns waiting in their midst, primed and ready to tickle the ears with any number of ridiculous heresies.
That ravenous wolf in sheep’s clothing called Satan is always on the lookout for compromised pastors and church leaders to pour some heretical garbage into, knowing they will pass it along to lazy and/or gullible congregations.
When a church has bought into one of those clever diabolical heresies, it can be most difficult to dislodge it. Anyone that attempts to dislodge it is at risk of being labeled a heretic hunter.
The term “heretic hunter” was born out of someone’s refusal to be held accountable. Dialogue, accountability, and prayer are essential for a Bible-based church to remain healthy.
He who has a quick trigger in labeling someone to be a “heretic hunter” runs the risk of not only having to live with whatever heretical disease he has been inflicted with but also infecting others in the body of Christ.
Whoever contracts a heretical disease and spreads it to others in the body of Christ will be held accountable — if not sooner by a brother or sister in the Lord than later by the Lord Himself.
Heretical diseases in the church are both preventable and curable. Diligence is the recipe for avoidance, and humility is the cure for infection.
The entire world today, here in the year 2023, is suffocating under a thick cloud of delusions and an onslaught of lies, some subtle and some beyond ludicrous. Some of the biggest liars of all are in positions of tremendous power. There are certain career politicians that have proven track records of lying and committing fraud for whole lifetimes. Some are so committed to lying and lie so often that it appears they actually believe their own lies.
This is one of the major signs of a reprobate mind. They not only lie and view good as evil and evil as good but defend their twisted belief system vehemently.
Some of the most accomplished liars, people who would make Pinocchio look like the truth fairy, become highly offended if someone calls them out on their lying, to the point where veins are popping out, and their head appears to be quite nearly ready to explode.
So many politicians, international bankers, much of the medical profession and Big Pharma, the mainstream media, the government alphabet agencies that have been politicized, the U.N. and the WEF, the many evil globalist orgs and their committees and think tanks worldwide, and all who have been brainwashed and deluded by the Prince of the Power of the Air into believing that the liars are the good guys, together are making life on earth hard for all who love truth.
Those evil Globalist Elitists and their minions can really suck the joy out of a room.
Like rust, Satan never sleeps. That is why a Christian must put on and keep on all of the “Armor of Spirit” and never abandon the watchtower. In Ephesians 6:10-18, Paul conveys this message to Christians. “Be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
The time is drawing closer by the day to a moment when our Heavenly Father will say, “Enough of this,” and He will send His Son to bring His bride home. Until then, hold on to your joy in the Lord and “Look up for your redemption draws nigh” (Luke 21:28).
Do not believe the reprobate lying globalist tyrants who are attempting to create a new world order in their own image. And do not believe their bought-and-paid-for media lapdogs attempting to portray Klaus and Bill and the gang as benevolent philanthropists. Do not buy that delusion or any of the lies of the bent one.
Instead, believe in and trust in the Son of the Living God, who spoke creation into existence. Live for the one who was willing to die in your place and my place, and become an heir to the eternal promises. Promises of eternal life in a resurrected body free of disease, death, and the temptations of sin.
Promises of an amazing eternal paradise where evil and delusion and lying will be found nowhere at all.
If you haven’t already done so, humble yourself and repent and call on Jesus today. He will answer your call (Romans 10:9-10).
Your friend and brother, in the name of Jesus,
Rick Segoine
