There are certain self-proclaimed prophets who are actively promoting messages that suggest we should fear Satan above God. They are claiming the elect should fear Satan when God commands us to fear no one but him.
They are creating a mindset among the ignorant that in many respects is developing a hostility against God and his true servants which could motivate the foolish and ignorant to act foolishly against God and his elect. By suggesting in so many words that God is powerless to defend and avenge his servants. Which would end catastrophically, and cataclysmically, for the instigators, the perpetrators, and the deceivers. And is something the deceivers will be held accountable for in the judgment as well.
This may be intentionally done subtly and in many respects, because some of God’s true servants are speaking the truth and debunking the unbiblical teaching that all men will be saved. A message that is also contributing to this present atmosphere of abominable rebellion against God. This self-proclaimed prophet sits at the helm of one of God’s churches that teach God’s true doctrines.
The truth of the matter is God is much much more powerful than Satan and there is no comparison at all and stands at the ready to fight for and avenge his servants. Satan’s power is limited. God’s power is unlimited.
We are to respect Satan in terms of being aware of the enemy we contend with and what he is capable of and to always be on guard against his schemes and tactics but to never fear him or exalt him or any man.
Exalting him and promoting him as someone to be feared above God is absolutely foolish and puts the focus on him as the one we should base our decisions around. In other words, that can create an environment and atmosphere and a way of thinking that results in us making decisions that will appease Satan as opposed to God.
Which can result in massive abominable rebellion against God which in turn results in catastrophic, cataclysmic, punishment from God. When the Bible says “Revelation 12:12–Therefore Rejoice, Ye Heavens, And Ye That Dwell In Them. Woe To The Inhabiters Of The Earth And Of The Sea! For The Devil Is Come Down Unto You, Having Great Wrath, Because He Knoweth That He Hath But A Short Time.”
That message is primarily in regards to his ability to promote and encourage abominable rebellion and sin. In the form of social upheaval, civil unrest, race wars, sexual immorality, war, mass murder, lying, slandering, widespread deceit, abominable sexual behavior, etc. Which in turn incurs the full unbridled wrath of God. Something Satan has done throughout history that has been instrumental in the fall of nations. But if you obey God and turn from your abominable sins he can make all the problems that Satan promotes and instigates like civil unrest, abominable sinful behavior, etc, gradually disappear.
When you defy God in the abominable ways like this nation is doing God moves out of the way and lets Satan have his way with you. Satan is considered the God of this world only because the world as a whole follows him in varying degrees. Not because he is the supreme all-powerful authority.
Because ignorant individuals promote a way of thinking that exalts Satan to a level he shouldn’t be exalted. One such individual just aired a program that essentially praised and exalted Satan. No wise, knowledgeable, servant of God would engage in foolish unbiblical behavior like that.
And only an ignorant and foolish individual would promote that. That may really suggest that this individual in reality has a more dubious hidden motive in mind. Satan can corrupt the leaders of his churches if they are not careful and are motivated by envy, ego, greed, arrogance, and lust for power. If you are obeying/fearing God you have no need to fear Satan.
You fear Satan to your physical and spiritual destruction. You fear God to your physical and spiritual salvation. Don’t give an ear to foolish self-proclaimed prophets who promote an atmosphere of fearing Satan when the focus should always be on fearing God!!! AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A POWERLESS PROPHET.
