Uncovering the Agenda
Let's compare
The devil vs. God
The Bible is old and out-dated. Prayer won't change anything. Have sex with anyone you want. Lying is not a big deal. White lies are not lies. God doesn't care about you. Being a good person is |
The Bible is a gift from God. It will guide us toward the right way to live. Prayer is very POWERFUL. Sex is for marriage. Lying is a sin. White lies are sins. We need to learn how to talk to one another without sinning. God loves you with an everlasting love, and he wants you to be with him in heaven. Being a good person does not mean you will go to heaven. |
Take Note
John 8:44 says - The Bible says -
The Devil is The Father of Lies Jesus is THE TRUTH. The Bible is TRUTH.
Jesus said:
The devil is called
The Father of Lies.
John 8:44
at the end of the verse
The devil wants to teach you
and your loved ones
to
lie.
-
It can be difficult to tell the truth.
You can face consequences.
You can be embarrassed or humbled.
Even so, God wants us to be truthful people.

What does the devil want to do?
The devil has a will
and he seeks to carry out that will.

Below,
Paul Harvey
gives us
his thoughts
on what
the devil wants to do
and what he
would say
to us.
Here is
one of
Paul Harvey's
quotes:
The devil
would say to us,
"I would caution against
extremes
in
hard work,
patriotism,
and moral conduct."
Paul Harvey
in 1965
I hope you will watch
the following video
and see how
the words of
Paul Harvey
have been coming true
in the United States of America.
Satan wants to:
Lower our inhibitions
and
Distort our perceptions
Satan has infiltrated
most of the entertainment industry.
Take note that
Satan is - not - interested in entertaining.
Satan is interested in
indoctrinating
people
to believe
and
to live out
his view of right and wrong.
When watching entertainment,
it is important to keep in mind
that whatever you are watching
a television show,
movie,
or
music video,
it has probably been designed
to secretly
move you closer
to Satan's way of thinking.
The Bible teaches us to say:
I have treasured Your word
in my heart,
so that I may not sin against You.
Psalm 119:11 NASB
Wednesday
Satan wants to take
as many people as possible
with him to eternal punishment.
Satan lies to us
by saying
that
if you are basically a good person
you go to heaven
when you die.
But the truth is
that only by trusting Jesus and following Jesus
- as your Savior and Lord -
can you enter your place of blessing in heaven.
What is Salvation from Hell?
We repent of our sins and give our life to Jesus Christ.
Then we sincerely seek to follow HIM.
Matthew 16:24-25 says,
“Then Jesus said to His disciples,
'If anyone wishes to come after Me,
he must deny himself
and
take up his cross and follow ME.' ”

What does the devil want?
Get you to doubt God's word
Get you paralyzed with fear
Get you to not share the gospel
Get you to live in shame
Get you to worship an idol
Get you deceived
