Satan
Satan is not all-knowing but he is a high-ranking angel who has lived for thousands of years... He's pretty astute at assessing human nature. And if his minions have been watching us, his evaluation will be even more well-informed.
Wolf in sheeps clothing
Think you can't be deceived? Lucifer appears as an angel of light. Remember, one-third blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)
Don’t be fooled:
1. SATAN IS THE FATHER OF LIES: (John 8:44). Lying is Satan’s primary weapon against God/Yahweh’s children. He directly contradicts the Word of Yahweh.

2) TEST THE SPIRITS: “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God/Yahweh because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1-2)
“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ/Messiah, who is the image of God/Yahweh.” (2 Corinthians 4:4)
3. BE A FRUIT INSPECTOR: Don’t think that just because someone in church leadership says something, it must be true. What is their fruit? “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves… Therefore by their fruits, you will know them.” (Matthew 7:15-16)
4. USE THE DEUTERONOMY 13 TEST: Deuteronomy 13 gives the guidelines for testing the validity of men’s interpretation of Scripture. “If the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods (this includes syncretizing pagan worship with the worship of Yahweh) and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord/Adonai your God/Elohim is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul...”
(Deuteronomy 13:1-3)
(Deuteronomy 13:1-3)
Serving other gods is a simple as obeying their commands and keeping their feasts as opposed to Yahweh’s instructions.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119: 105) and “The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple” (verse 130).

THE PIECE THAT HOLDS IT ALL TOGETHER
When I was a child I was fascinated with the wooden puzzle I was given by my father. It looked solid and complete. It seemed to be easily deconstructed and reformed… until it was taken apart and the reassembly was begun.
Then the once regular shapes that formed so easily into the perfect cube were not so easily reassembled. The genius of the designer of the puzzle became evident, and it took some time to recreate the cube using every piece with perfect balance and harmony.
That is an excellent metaphor for our Constitutional Republic. The kindergarten version of the balance of powers is that we have three branches of government – Legislative, Executive and Judicial. Of course, that is true, but it is far too simplistic to understand the intricate inner workings and the genius of the inner structure of our Constitutional Republic.
When we look carefully at the US Constitution of 1787, we see that with every designation of power and responsibility there follows a limitation on that power. Nowhere is power given without a balancing limitation. This is the secret to the inner workings of the “puzzle” of our Constitution, the checks and balances throughout, hidden within the structure.
Those who are unaware, or choose to ignore the intricate inner workings of the structure have tried to remove, alter, or ignore the parts, and have tried to form the remains into the solid cube that the Founders created. It is impossible to do.
When constructing the wooden puzzle there is the last piece, which slipped into place, holds the cube together. In the Constitution of 1787 that piece was self-government. Each man and woman being accountable to God governing their own conduct in the light of Eternity.
John Adams said in a speech to the military in 1798, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion… Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Noah Webster, Father of American Scholarship and Education stated, “[T]he Christian religion, in its purity, is the basis, or rather the source of all genuine freedom in government… and I am persuaded that no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable in which the principles of that religion have not a controlling influence.”
Likewise, George Washington, General of the Revolutionary Army, President of the Constitutional Convention, First President of the United States of America and the Father of our Nation underscored the connection between self-government under God and the stability of the nation by saying, “Religion and morality are the essential pillars of a civil society.”
Remove this key piece from the intricate structure of the Republic created by the Founders, and their words become true, “no civil government of a republican form can exist and be durable.” [Note: the word republican is not used here to denote any party (i.e., Democrat or Republican), but to refer to the fact that the United States is a republic and not a democracy].

History
Ignorance is scary and has consequences.
History has a way of repeating itself. We ignore the lessons of the Bolshevik revolution, Castro 's Cuba, Mao's China, the Killing Fields of Cambodia and the collapse of Venezuela at our own peril.
Our government was founded on the principles of individual rights and freedom. The role of our government is to protect the rights and freedoms of the individual as expressed among others in religion, speech, private property and free enterprise, encouraging the power of self-determination.
The right for the individual to pursue life, liberty and happiness is promised in the Declaration of Independence. The role of government was predicated on protecting these rights
Yet, the same people who decry and dismiss our Founding Fathers for their misperceived lack of resolve against slavery are leading the country in a march toward slavery.
Socialism cannot work without the state being in control. We the people become vassels or slaves to the state. The state tells us what is good for us economically, socially and culturally.
Personal freedom is subjugated to the needs of the masses as determined by the state. Differing opinions and convictions are corralled and derided as hate speech.
Those who espouse ideas contrary to what is politically correct are isolated, berated and vilified. This is among the first steps in training the masses in the power of group think and the mindset of slavery.
Slaves are struck down if they challenge the master. People are enslaved when they are scared to express dissenting opinions. We need to wake up to hear the chains rattling.

Judgment
There are people who want to remove the words male and female from the dictionary. The Bible says that God made us male and female. This whole thing goes back to one issue called rebellion against God and His established order. The Bible says it is appointed to man once to die and after this the judgment. God will hold us "all" accountable for how we live our lives, but God also sent us His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. Through Jesus, we can receive God's grace and forgiveness. The Bible says that "all" have sinned so unless we "all" turn to Jesus and place our faith in Him then we will not be forgiven and spend eternity in Hell. Gay, straight, homosexual, heterosexual, white or black we are all lost without Jesus and must pray to God and ask Jesus into our hearts and repent (turn) from our sins. We live in a world where Satan is trying to program our minds against God. Ephesians 6:10-18 tells us that we are in a spiritual battle. We need to open our eyes and realize Satan is our enemy and wants to turn us against God's established order. Saying that your this or that does not excuse your sin. Creating laws to protect your rights does not excuse your sin. Man's laws do not go above God's rule. God will always be God and sin will always be sin no matter what we call it. God offers us forgiveness for our sins and calls us to repent and turn from our sin. We will be held accountable on judgment day and trusting Jesus as our Savior is God's plan of forgiveness.
