From Eliyahu
Consider this:
There is evil in the world, and its looking
for you. Scripture says:
"Be sober and self-controlled. Be
watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8
What a powerful word picture! A lion looking
for a victim WILL find one! The devil is just like that, and he is eating
people up every minute, and looking for more. "Be watchful" of that, the
Scripture says, so the next victim will not be you. This verse very
succinctly sums up the Biblical teaching on evil, which in a nutshell is
this:
-
Evil originates in the devil. The
devil is real and so is evil.
-
This means there is an evil
intelligence behind the evil in the world.
-
The devil with his evil intent is
"your adversary" seeking to devour you.
-
You must be engaged against evil or
the devil will gobble you up!
Some faithless people respond to this by
saying; "How could one being, the devil, be doing all of that evil to the
whole world, all at the time? That has to be just a myth." With this stupid
claim such a person has just failed the simple test of basic Bible
knowledge.
The Bible doesn't say the devil is
perpetrating a whole world of evil all by himself. Far from it. The Bible
reveals that the devil controls a vast organization of invisible spirits,
like himself, commonly called demons. This word originates from the
Greek word daimonion and simply means "a daemonic being; by
extension a deity: - devil, god." This term applies to rebel spirits who
have set themselves up as rival gods against the rightful God who created
the universe. Only in the pages of Holy Scripture are our eyes opened to the
vast organized levels of evil spirits arrayed against us, under the command
of the devil:
"Put on the whole armor of God, that you
may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling
is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against
the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and
against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Ephesians 6:11-12
Notice that those who are loyal to the Creator
are in a war against the organized columns of evil spirits in which we must
"stand against the wiles of the devil." Thayer's Greek
Dictionary tells us the word wiles is translated from the Greek
word methodeia. The English word method is related to
this same word. This Greek word means; "cunning arts, deceit, craft,
trickery".
These powerfully deceptive methods and demonic
plots are formed and perpetrated by Principalities, Powers and
World Rulers which are "spiritual forces of wickedness in the
heavenly places."
Get the picture? This is a vast organized
conspiracy against God, against humanity and very specifically, against you.

This war between the
forces of righteousness and the forces of wickedness in the heavenly places
is very real, and has been going on for millennia. As we see in the case of
Daniel depicted above, while the war is fought in the spirit realms, the
object of the war is right here on earth. Humans are the object.
As with the case of 'the
prince of Persia' of Daniel 10, there are spirit rulers over all of the
kingdoms of this world. Indeed, the devil has been very successful in
recruiting humans over to his side, with the vast majority of humanity
controlled by his 'wiles' - "cunning arts, deceit, craft, trickery".
Further, the devil's human organization, under the wicked spirit forces, are
experts at using the deceitful methods of their spirit masters. In fact,
through use of the devil's 'wiles' the whole world is under the devil's
power! That is, the 'whole world' except for the much smaller number who
have given their lives over to the God and Father of our Lord, Yeshua
Messiah. Here is how the Bible expresses this:
"We know
that we are of Elohim, and the whole world lies in the power of the
evil one. We know that the Son of Elohim has come, and has given us
an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him
who is true, in his Son Yeshua the Messiah. This is the true Elohim,
and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols." 1
John 5:19-21
Friends, we must realize
that the devil wants to ensnare us, if we will let him. A principle method
he uses to ensnare people is through the use of idols. Don't make the
mistake of thinking you are not vulnerable to that. The Scripture would not
be warning us about idols if that was easy for us to deal with. In fact,
right now, the devil is reaching out toward you, via the internet, to suck
you in and destroy you.
Tonight's meeting video
will point out specific demonic traps you may encounter on the internet,
that are designed to fool you and draw you in to the devil's kingdom before
you even realize what's happening! The devil loves the internet, because of
its amazing reach right in to your personal space between your ears.
The war is on and you
need to be awake to the devil's wiles. Join me tonight
at Tsiyon.Net
at 8 PM, CST to fortify yourself against demonic traps.
Invite your friends and
relatives also - you might save them from destruction by doing so.
Blessings and good health to you,
Eliyahu

PS -
We have cancelled our streaming
provider due to recent poor service. Therefore, we are providing tonight's video
on demand at the same time and place as usual, which should eliminate the
streaming problems we have had of late. We will be continuing this for our
meetings for a few weeks, until we can get a tested and reliable streaming
service up and running on our system.
