Ever since Lucifer fell from heaven for desiring to be God, he has presented phony “godlike” culture to humanity. Being human, we have believed him with stupidity. Satan has not stopped his battle against God and His true culture since the beginning of time. What are some of these counterfeits that he “offers”?

1.) Psychics Satan has given a bit of his small amount of power to his followers (and even Christians who do not understand what is happening) to know the “future” because of demonic workings of psychics who have no idea it is demonic and believe it is the truth. However, the Lord offers the truth about the future! He gives us prophetic words and the gift of prophecy, a gift from His Holy Spirit – NOT from demonic influence but, from the King of the Universe!

2.) Drugs and alcohol Satan has taken drugs and alcohol and made our human-ness become drunk and high off of things that have no meaning. Meanwhile, the Lord offers the true “high” and “drunk”. He gives us an intense drink of His Presence and we are in His Holy Intoxication;) And, we are high off of the Most High! But, satan makes this appear a lie by presenting real alcohol and drugs that just trash a person and doesn’t help them in any way

3.) Trances Satan has made trances and “out-of-body experiences” be a bad thing and a way to get “closer” to him, when really in the Bible and throughout Christianity it has been a way to know Jesus more and like have encounters with His Presence.And, even go to the third heaven through this.

4.) Darkness that appears to be light Satan has taken the demonic spirit of blackness and shrouded millions of goths in this darkness. Meanwhile, the Lord offers light…the Lord IS light and gives life to people but, darkness.

These are just a couple of examples of the way satan has taken God’s true culture and has made a counterfeit culture. So, I ask you all, why would we want to be in the world and satan’s culture when you could have the Maker and Lover of your soul? Like, seriously? Why settle for less when you can have the best – JESUS?
