Last weekend there was a satanic largest gathering in the history of the Satanic church. Things that
were promoted there like abortion, transgenderism and so many other things, show us that there's a
satanic side to the cultural issues that we are facing in our culture. Satan doesn't mind if we
don't worship him, as long as we join him in opposition to God. Therefore many Satanists
claimed they don't even believe in satan. They don't have to, to be part of his agenda. As
long as they oppose God, as long as they oppose traditional morality and religion. Satan will
always seek to undermine God's Word. That's why these Satanists will ripping pages of the Bible,
because that has always been the plan of satan, to cause you to doubt in God's Word. We will
either overcome satan, or we will be overcome by him. Last weekend, April 28th through 30th,
2023 marked 10-year anniversary of the Satanic temple. Hundreds came out to New York to celebrate
Satancon 2023. It was dedicated to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, for not allowing the group to deliver
invocation at the city hall last year. They also hosted a satanic ball or an event that was called
an ungodly assembly. It featured a drag queen performance and a concert by the band Satanic
Planet. Shredding Bibles, unbaptizing people, burning flags that represent order, or police,
or support of police, promoting abortion and transgenderism. During the opening night of
the Satancon 2023, two satanic leaders led worshipers in chance of hail satan and said,
"We stand here today in defiance of their siege and destroy their symbolism of oppression." Before
ripping out the pages of the Bible. Their leader, who was the female, was cheered on by the crowd as
she shouted, "Hail satan!" While tearing pages of the Bible and throwing them on the floor. During
this year's theme, what was on the menu for this conference which was actually named Witch's Night?
Topics included deconstructing your religious upbringing, hellbillies, visible Satanism in rural
America, the devil is in all of you, the changing face of satan in cinema and reclaiming the trans
body. As well as other topics that go contrary to the sound teaching and biblical doctrine. At
the same time as this conference was happening, there were churches they were protesting, and
raising an alarm, and warning people and trying to witness to people. There was even some post that I
saw where actually some people went secretly into the satanic temple, seeking to convert
people. There was also Revive Boston charismatic Spirit-filled event happening at the same time,
as people were protesting and praying against it. In fact at our church HungryGen, on that night,
we didn't do it because we were trying to protest the satanic event, but we were doing it because
it fell on the last Saturday of the month. We were holding our deliverance service, where many people
were getting delivered. You may say, "Vlad, why are you covering this? Is this just for the clicks
or what is the meaning behind of this?" I want to share with you five things that I believe we have
to keep in mind, that will serve as a warning for us as Christians concerning what is happening with
the rise and interest of Satanism in our culture. The first thing is, there is a satanic side to the
cultural issues, like abortion and transgenderism. If you ever thought that these are just political
issues, or if you thought maybe that Christians are making a big deal about it and think that
there is nothing to it. Except it's just abortion is the woman's right to abort a baby,
and transgenderism is people should do whatever they want, they should identify however they
want. Well Satanists have proven to you that there is more to it than just a cultural and political
issues. The Bible is very clear that satan is a murderer, he is a liar, he's a deceiver, he is an
accuser and he is also a hinderer of the things of God, and he is also a tempter. The Church of
Satan and the Satanic temple has once and for all disclosed their secrets, that they said on
their website that all abortions committed by the Church of Satan are religious acts of Satanism,
and are protected under the ruling. There is more to these cultural issues than meets the
eye. These are demonic things, and they have evil spirits and spiritual entities behind them. And
we should be careful because if we play along with these cultural trends of abortion, transgenderism,
homosexuality. And all of these things that are very sensitive, but they are not sensitive when
it comes to Satan because to Satan these are means to an end. Him propagating, him evangelizing our
culture toward destruction, and opposition to God's norms and standards. The second thing is
that Satan does not mind if we don't worship him, as long as we join him in opposing God.
Because you may be listening to this video and you might object that Satanists don't even believe in
satan. They don't believe that satan is real. Satan to them is a symbol of rebellion. But see
satan doesn't want you to worship him, that's not his main objection. His main goal is that
you oppose God with him. When satan tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, he didn't tempt
them to worship him. He tempted them so that they oppose God. In fact the word "satan," satan means
is the one who opposes, the one who withstands. His number one role, his number one nature is to
cause you to rebel against God, because as long as you get God out of the way, then you have to
fill that vacant spot. You become God or you begin to worship God in your image and in your
likeness. And guess what happens? You will have to redefine morality. You will have to redefine
what is good and what is evil, what is right and what is wrong. Why? Because once you remove God,
you become god and now you make your own rules. That's what he did with Adam and Eve. That's what
he's doing with our culture. He's not interested in everybody worshiping him. He's just interested
in everybody following him, by rejecting God as the final authority. So that then we redefine
what is good and what is evil. Then who gets to tell us whether we are male or female? Who gets
to tell us what we do with our bodies? Who gets to tell us whether we kill babies or not?Who gets to
tell us who we love, who we sleep with and what we do with our life? Nobody, why? because we oppose
the final authority, we oppose human authority and that's what satan is after. Number three. Satan
will always seek to undermine God's Word. It's interesting that part of this satanic gathering,
you know you would think they don't believe in satan, why attack the Bible? What did the Bible
do to you? Why rip the pages of the Bible you know? And these are the people who call Christians
narrow-minded when we throw away demonic books, or when we throw away things that have paganism
and things that have occultism. Yet they take the Holy Bible that teaches morality, peace,
and righteousness, and holiness, and honor and all of these good things that our society seeks,
and ripped the pages of the Bible. Why would they do that? Because satan from the beginning always
hated God, God's Word and God's creation. Why does he hate the Bible? Well because the Bible
is given by the inspiration of God. The Bible has God's principles, God's laws, God's love
and God's passion revealed to His creation. And from the beginning we see with Adam and Eve,
satan actually plants a seed of doubt, "Has God truly said?" He does a similar thing with Christ.
He actually twists the Scripture with Jesus. He begins to question things that are true,
because that's what the devil does. In Matthew 13:19, we see that he is like
a bird that snatches the Word of God. See, the Bible Compares Satan to five animals. He's like a
serpent who seeks to deceive. He's like a bird, seeks to spoil the harvest. He's like a wolf,
trying to eat the flock. He's like a lion, trying to devour believers and he's like a dragon,
trying to destroy God's Son. He seeks to sow seed of doubt so that you can be defeated, disarmed and
then disconnected from God. Remember the devil is after God's Word not taking root in your
heart. The fourth thing I want you to know about Satanism, is that Satanism promotes individualism,
hedonism and rejection of tradition morality and religion. So when it comes to individualism,
Satanism emphasizes the individual over the collective. LaVey who is the founder of the
Church of Satan and as well as who wrote the book, the Satanic Bible. He believed that people should
strive for self-empowerment, and pursue their own desires and ambitions, without being held back by
the society's conventions. See Christianity teaches something else, that we are part of
community. It's not good for men to be alone. That as Christians, we're members of Christ's
body. Satanism teaches the opposite. Satanism also promotes hedonism. Satanism celebrates pleasure
and indulgence. LaVey believed that life should be enjoyed to the fullest, and that people should
pursue their desires without guilt or shame. It's all about pleasure. It's all about doing what you
want. But Christianity teaches that honestly, your pleasures will lead you to poverty, and we
are to deny ourselves and not to live a selfish life. Satanism promotes atheism, surprisingly.
Satanism is an atheistic religion that rejects the existence of a supernatural deity. Instead it sees
satan as a symbol of rebellion and independence. Christianity opposes that belief system.
Satanism also promotes a ritual. Satanism uses ritual as a means of psychological and emotional
connection. LaVey believed that the ritual can be used to tap into the subconscious mind and achieve
self-transformation. Satanism also promotes magic. Satanism incorporates magic as a tool for
self-improvement and personal empowerment. Lavey believed that magic was a natural force that could
be harnessed through ritual and focus intention. But the Bible teaches that magic, witchcraft,
and occult is an abomination and it's going to the dark side. So it's crazy how these Satanists say,
"We don't believe in the spiritual power. We don't believe in the supernatural deity." Yet
they believe in rituals, they believe in Satanism and they believe in magic. Satanism believes also
in social Darwinism. Satanism embraces the idea of the survival of the fittest. LaVey believed
that people should strive for excellent and that the strong should dominate the weak. So if you're
ever wondering where Darwinism, who is proponent of Darwinism, who is proponent of magic, who is
proponent for atheism and all of these things. Well wonder no more. It is the devil. And no,
I'm not seeing the devil behind every idea but I do believe the Bible tells the demons can have
doctrines. They have teachings, false teaching and that is one of them. You have to remember
that satan fell from heaven, and when he fell from heaven, he fell because of pride. It was all about
him. In fact in Isaiah 14:12-15, five times we see that he says, "I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne; I will sit on the mount of congregation, I will ascend above the heights of
the clouds, and I will be like the Most High." Too much I. See Jesus didn't say, My will be done. He
says, "Thy will be done." So if you are living a life of pride, pursuing pleasure above God's
principles, always seeking to avoid community, into magic, into Darwinism, into atheism. You're
already following the devil, without even knowing. You don't have to believe in him,
you don't have to worship him. You're already just like him. And the last thing, is we will either
overcome satan or we will be overcome by satan. My friend, there is no middle ground. You can't say,
"Well I don't believe in God. I don't believe in satan." In fact, satan already claims you as his
own. The Bible says, the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. The Scripture says,
he blinds the minds of unbelievers. He snatches away the seed of God's Word. He puts unbeliever
into a false sense of security. He puts snares for people. He pretends to be the angel of light. He
deceives the minds of people that are not subject to the Word of God. He mixes truth with error.
He produces miracles. He afflicts people. He brings sickness and He opposes the righteous.
Do you see yourself in the trap of this symbol of rebellion? My friend, you can overcome satan.
The Bible says we overcome him by the blood of the Lamb. That means you must accept Jesus
Christ. You cannot do it alone, you must submit your life to Jesus. Repent of your rebellion,
repent of your redefining good and evil. Submit to God's Word,
receive Him as your Lord. You may reject God, it doesn't change the fact He's still God,
and you will face Him one day and give an account for your life. But you can come to Him today in
repentance, and then you will no longer be overcome by satan. You will overcome satan,
by the blood of Jesus Christ, by His death, burial and resurrection. Because of Jesus's death,
you can experience forgiveness of your sin, you can be reconnected, reconciled to the Creator, who
loves you. Your Creator doesn't want to hurt you. Your Creator gave you the book of life because he
wants to have you as His child. He's the only one that genuinely cares for you. That deep hole in
your heart, nobody can fill. Rebellion won't fill it. Pleasure won't fill it. Religion won't fill it
either. Magic won't fill it. Doing all of these satanic things, won't fill it. And pretending
God doesn't exist in spite of scientific evidence, in spite of your own consciousness,
and so many things in the world telling you there is a God. None of that will fill you,
until you surrender and you receive the gift of eternal life, that God provides through His Son.
Another way to overcome satan, is to resist him. See when you submit to God, then you can resist
him and you no longer have to be a casualty of his deception. You can be a soldier that fights his
evil. You can also overcome satan by standing steadfast in your faith, and you can overcome
satan by not giving him place in your life. I pray this video brought warning, encouragement
and strengthening. If you're one of those people who are playing on the devil's side, I want to
warn you, the devil will spend eternity in the lake of fire, and so will you, if you don't switch
sides today. God calls all men to repent, and to believe in the good news of His Son Jesus Christ,
and you can do that right now. Call on Jesus and He will save you, and you will no longer
be the devil's pet and slave. You will be God's son, and part of His restoration and redemption
that He is bringing on this earth, when Jesus will come and restore everything to its original
and even better condition. Thanks for watching this video. Let me know in the comments below,
