In today's blog about exposing Satan, I recall a phrase that seems befitting the human situation...

The phrase is "Theatre Of The Absurd," a term that was coined by Martin Esslin...about themes surrounding the absurd and the notion that whatever humanity does is ultimately meaningless...

The sense of meaninglessness in humanity is a very real and dangerous condition...

Humanity is living in a Theatre Of The Absurd...

All conventions of morality, ethics, good personal standing, progression...are teetering toward destruction...

Voids are being created that are filled with personal beliefs and opinions that can be destructive...where your life has no meaning, with no place to go...

Satan knows this...

Satan supports a world of the absurd...a condition that is strictly natural, not spiritual; a world that is consumed in itself, without any true connection to the spiritual...

Only the 'appearance' of being spiritual...

Truth is, it's all about living only in the natural, not the spiritual...

You live only in a material world, consumed only with the physical...

You can see that all around you...the progress and the glitter of life...

Morality becomes whatever is convenient to you...whatever fits your advantage...

If you want to covet your neighbour's wife...

If you want to steal...

If you want to lie...

Whatever fits your advantage...a life without God's plan for you.

There is nothing wrong or evil with wanting what the world has to offer...in fact, is your right to take part in the progress of the world and the rewards that come with your participation...

Satan knows this...

He will even support your progress in the world...your career, your ambitions, your marriage, your success...

As long as your road to progress doesn't involve God, Satan will back you up 100%...

Surprised?

You think that Satan only wants your destruction?

You think that Satan only wants to see you miserable, unsuccessful, poor...?

Think again...

Depending on your strengths and weaknesses, Satan will create the conditions that can cut you off from God...

He can use your success in life...imagine yourself on the way to a successful life, with the world open to you and enjoy your victories...

As long as Satan sees that your success is distancing you from God in some way, he will then have no objections for your success in life...

As long as he sees that your mindset is geared toward your success in the physical while abandoning the spiritual...then Satan will be happy to see you successful...

If your successful life is replacing God in your life, then Satan will support it...

And since the beginning of time, humanity has been playing around with the notion of balancing spiritual living with material life...

It has been quite the struggle actually...

Good deeds balanced out with evil ones...dark secrets that are concealed so no one knows what's going on...

But there is a problem with this: God knows what's going on...

You may think that you have some dark secret that no one knows about, and you feel safe and secure that no one knows this...

Satan wants you to think that way...that no one can see your evil intentions...enjoy life to the full:

  •  and lie
  • and cheat
  • and conspire
  • and hate
  • and envy
  • and be jealous
  • and be selfish...etc.
You are living only in a material world...God is not watching...at least that's what Satan wants you to believe...

IT'S A MINDSET THING

So what makes your deeds good or bad?

If God AND Satan can allow you to be a success, then what makes you a successful person in God or a successful person in Satan?

It's all about how you see things with your mind...your mindset.

If your mindset is geared to always keep in-tune with God with heartfelt sincerity (no selfish agendas), then you are a successful person in God...where your success is supported and reinforced with blessings...

If your mindset is geared only to your material success without any thought of God, then you are a successful person in Satan...your success brings complications such as abuses in power, abusing your position in life, abusing others...
