"How Satan Works"

"For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth."  (2 Jn. 3)

Joseph Goebbels once said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.  The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.  It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State....When it comes to propaganda, you just have to keep repeating the same thing over and over again until people can't bear to hear it anymore------- and then you say it again."

2 Thessalonians 2 says, "The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works.  Okay, if I want to know, "how Satan works", here it is.  "He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.  They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.  For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie."  You can apply this to the German in the 1920 and 1930 era.  You can apply this to current America, yes, to any people group.  The Bible is not a "Western religion."  Jesus Christ, "came to seek and to save that which is lost."  It is not "white man's religion."  Others love to believe that because they can go on loving and living the lie which their wicked hearts desire.

"Wickedness deceives those who are perishing," and they, "are perishing," because they refuse, "to love the truth and so be saved."  Forget the "sinner's prayer for a moment, and look for those who, "love the truth."  Give them the truth and you won't have to give them anything else.  They can take it from there.    

Father, in Jesus' Name, "Oh, how love I thy law!  It is my meditation all the day."  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
