World Under Attack Pt. 11: Souls For Sale

Many people chase after money, fame, fortune, influence, power, etc. Because of this, the Devil is able to obtain what he truly desires, the souls of those who dwell on earth. People who are slaves to all of the temporary treasures of this world that he offers. The Devil seeks out spiritual slaves, this we know, but are there still physical slaves today in our world? And if there are, are there can’t be many, can there? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he sheds some light on the true evils of this world in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 11: Souls For Sale.

Souls For Sale

⁹ And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. ¹⁰ They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, “Alas! Alas! You great city, you mighty city, Babylon! For in a single hour your judgment has come.” ¹¹And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, ¹²cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, ¹³cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.

World Under Attack Pt. 10: Partaking From Two Tables

Once a year, many Christians celebrate the holiday Halloween. Many churches have Trunk or Treats as an outreach program aiming to usher in new members. Even though the Church is the Bride of Christ, so many still participate in a day that seems to be nothing but darkness. Their claim for why it’s not a big deal? Because the Devil doesn’t own any days and the Holy Spirit doesn’t take days off; therefore, allowing your child to dress up in harmless costumes and go from door to door collecting candy from friends and neighbors is nothing but a tradition passed down from generation to generation. But what if there’s something more sinister happening in the spiritual realm that we can’t see with our naked eye? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the spiritual tactics of the enemies in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 10: Partaking From Two Tables.

World Under Attack Pt. 10

Partaking From Two Tables

¹⁴Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. ¹⁶The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? ¹⁷Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. ¹⁸Consider the people of Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? ¹⁹What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. ²¹You cannot drink the cup of the LORD and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the LORD and the table of demons. ²²Shall we provoke the LORD to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

1 Corinthians 10:14-22

World Under Attack Pt. 9: The Silence of Men

With each generation, the world gets more and more evil. It gets more and more wicked. Is it because evil has become more powerful than good, and darkness has overcome the light? Or is there another explanation for the state of the world?

¹ For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: ²a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; ³a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; ⁴a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; ⁵a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; ⁶a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; ⁷a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; ⁸a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

World Under Attack Pt. 8: No One Sees

The world we live in is filled with lies and deceit. It seems as if every action described as being for our good was actually designed to be for our destruction. Is this true? And if it is, will there ever be justice? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he gives us a glimpse behind the curtain in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 8: No One Sees.

Isaiah 47:10-13

World Under Attack

No One Sees

¹⁰You felt secure in your wickedness. ‘No one sees me,’ you said. But your ‘wisdom’ and ‘knowledge’ have led you astray, and you said, ‘I am the only one, and there is no other.’ ¹¹So disaster will overtake you, and you won’t be able to charm it away. Calamity will fall upon you, and you won’t be able to buy your way out. A catastrophe will strike you suddenly, one for which you are not prepared. ¹²Now use your magical charms! Use the spells you have worked at all these years! Maybe they will do you some good. Maybe they can make someone afraid of you. ¹³All the advice you receive has made you tired. Where are all your astrologers, those stargazers who make predictions each month? Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds.

Isaiah 47:10-13 (NLT)

²¹Then Jesus asked them, “Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine. ²²For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light. ²³Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

Mark 4:21-23 (NLT)

World Under Attack Pt. 7: Primum Non Nocere

Our society has progressed from the middle ages. We’ve had technological advancements that have affected every part of our lives. We’re constantly advancing in medicine, as well, yet the world seems to have more medical issues and sicknesses. Why does it seem that the more we progress and advance, the more health issues we seem to have?

Primum Non Nocere

²⁰Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. ²¹She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate: ²²“How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge?”

Proverbs 1:20-22 (NLT)

⁴You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. ⁵Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit He has placed within us should be faithful to Him. ⁶And He gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” ⁷So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

James 4:4-8 (NLT)

World Under Attack Pt. 6: First, Do No Harm

Many years gone by, there were no fast-food chains or even big supermarkets where we could purchase our food conveniently. No longer do we have to cook every night, now we can just order food and someone else cooks it for us. In fact, someone else will even pick up our order and deliver it right to our front doorstep. We’ve come a long way, but is it for our good? Did we trade in health for convenience or is that just being a conspiracist?

¹⁵And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. ¹⁶Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. ¹⁷These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. ¹⁸They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

Mark 16:15-18 (NLT)

¹³A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits. They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation, saying, “I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out!” ¹⁴Seven sons of Sceva, a leading priest, were doing this.

World Under Attack Pt. 4: Plundered Nations

There’s no debate on whether the world is under attack. The majority of the Church will agree that the world is under a strong attack from the enemy, but what does that mean?

Plundered Nations

⁸Because you have plundered many nations, now all the survivors will plunder you. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence. ⁹What sorrow awaits you who build big houses with money gained dishonestly! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your family’s nest beyond the reach of danger. ¹⁰But by the murders you committed, you have shamed your name and forfeited your lives. ¹¹The very stones in the walls cry out against you, and the beams in the ceilings echo the complaint. ¹²What sorrow awaits you who build cities with money gained through murder and corruption! ¹³Has not the Lord of Heaven’s Armies promised that the wealth of nations will turn to ashes? They work so hard, but all in vain! ¹⁴For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the Lord.

World Under Attack Pt. 3: Stolen Wealth

The world we live in today has many poor and starving people. Jesus said there would always be the poor.

⁶But soon their captives will taunt them. They will mock them, saying, ‘What sorrow awaits you thieves! Now you will get what you deserve! You’ve become rich by extortion, but how much longer can this go on?’ ⁷Suddenly, your debtors will take action. They will turn on you and take all you have, while you stand trembling and helpless. ⁸Because you have plundered many nations; now all the survivors will plunder you. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence.

Habakkuk 2:6–8^NLT

¹¹Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. From His presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. ¹²And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. ¹³And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. ¹⁴Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

⁸Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ⁹Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

1 Peter 5:8-9 (NIV)

¹⁶And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. ¹⁸The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

Revelation 11:16-18

⁹The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. ¹⁰Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. ¹¹They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. ¹²Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”

World Under Attack Pt. 1: It Affects Everyone

The world’s hatred for Christianity grows stronger with each generation. It’s very plain, open, and right in front of our eyes; the world doesn’t try to hide it.

⁷Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, ⁸but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. ⁹And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. ¹⁰And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. ¹¹And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. ¹²Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”
