We must know the truth about it. This article is necessarily for those who are innocently influenced by blindly misled people. Satanism is a reality as the Bible talks about it. It is the sly and subversive force against our daily life. It started from the very beginning of creation. Lucifer, the fallen angel was the organizer. He tried to be greater than God.
Satanism is basically the worship and adoration of Lucifer instead God. It is a wide spread complex scenario around the world today followed by young people who lose meaning of life. It is spiritually against God the Creator, mentally a psychic activity abusing the bodies, socially secretive association in absence of social purpose.
Who started Satanism?
The movement was scanty before 17th century. There was a record of Witch Trial at Salem, America in 1692. Along the way, the secretive movement began to surface out openly. In later stage, Aleister Crowler, from Plymouth Brethren Church (1875), became a pioneer of modern satanic movement. He failed to recognize the meaning of life in God. His mother called him 666, the mark of anti-Christ. Once he baptized a frog called Jesus and crucified it. His anti-biblical magic writings proliferated 20th century Satanism. Therefore, it is an imitation and a follower of deviation that began in America.
What will Satanism demand from the followers?
Its agenda is ‘total destruction.’ Satan will not give but demand, not bless but curse. It demands your body, your emotion, morality, and everything till your are reduced to a skeleton and then eternal damnation. The movement demands an oath taking process. He wants to attract people to be with him in Hades. The leaders of Satanism, wherever they may be from, are psychologically trained and oriented to attractively and craftily induce, seduce, and lure away youth circle to this society of doom.
What is Its Strategy?
Young people must not be misled by bloody Satanism. This movement may come in many forms, counterfeit terms with many false promises. The name of Christ with promise may come in the context of Nagaland or Mizoram, states of Christians. You may not be aware of. Bible references are familiar to them like the way Satan tempted Jesus with Bible text. Networks such as face book, emails, websites, communication and secretive contacts are the chief strategies of this quasi perversion.
Characteristics
It imitates Christian church style, but everything is in opposite direction. They have satanic bible and rituals. They seek the power of darkness. A satanic church was founded in San Francisco in 1966 with all sorts of dark apparatus such as personification of human desires, dark night uniform, heavy and death-metal music. Their worships are characterized with blood sacrifices to Devil. Animals and children have gone mysteriously missing. It is a complex as it is associated with numerous cults and occults. It will disharmonize families and communities. Its movement cannot be easily noticed since they use secretive symbolic identity. They are your day-time normal friends in schools and colleges, offices, work centers, families, and social circles. Their health graphically get deteriorated with peculiar social behavior. Satanic figures once we battled with in jungles and cliffs are taking human form today. Satan can totally capture the psyche (psycho, soul) of a person and perform miracles through him. When a person is zero (0) in Christ, he or she is a fertile ground to Satan whose nature is violence. But Satan, Lucifer cannot come near a person who is filled with the presence of Jesus Christ.
Where is the Destination of Satanism
Satanists shall fall. He is active until his eternal imprisonment, active in many forms and shapes in the world, accusing the saints, and leading mankind away through their lusts. He is called ‘the father of lies’. Crowler and his followers came to a wretched end. Those dabbling in Satanism are predestined to eternal hell because Satan wants to increase his followers to be out there. Many Satanists mysteriously and miserably disappeared; they are devoured by fellow satanists. Their stories are undisclosed.
Satanism is real as Satan is real. The Bible warns the believers that Satan will be increasingly busy and tempt humans to grosser and grosser sin towards the last days. The sting of Satanism is death with a destination of eternal lake of fire (Rev 20:10; 22:15). But we have victory in Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:56). The Light shine in darkness but the darkness has not understood it. God gave power to those who come to Him to become children of God (John 1:12). Satan is a defeated foe destined to eternal death.
The Role of the Church
You will know who are satanists only when you are strong Jesus Christ. Satan cannot stand the power of Jesus. The need is powerful prophetic ministry that trembles Satan and his strongholds. Churches must stand firm and live as biblical believers and not as denominational style. Prayer must be directed against this movement by praying walk in Kohima, Dimapur, and towns. Power of prayer can disarm this mischievous game. Awareness and education must start in churches and families. Family or parent-children relationship must center on Jesus. Spiritual platforms must be created for youth to worship Jesus by releasing their emotion and passion. The need is Positive: talk positive thing, think of positive thing, and act toward positive life. Talking about Bible heroes, great people, patriots, and world leaders is a healing therapy.
The Role of Government
The strategy of Satanism is to destroy any sense of morality, civic ethics, peace and harmony, and human quality. We have nothing to do with the deities of this destroyer. Government functionary must bust and hunt out satanic associations. This is something far more dangerous than what we call ‘election evil, element of social evils, corruption and issue of liquor evils.’ This dreadful poison will attack the family and children of the bureaucrats and political authorities, lobbying for their agenda. Many Sstanists follow a leader not knowing the bottom-line and agenda involved in it. Conscientiously:
(1) Dubious content of memorandum for application for Societies Registration must be checked in the light of theological application.
(2) Secretive movements and night clubs under the pretext of any banner and insignias should be eradicated.
(3) Schools and educational centers must be aware of new and strange movement.
(4) Influx and intention of foreigners and visitors must be properly investigated.
(5) Police must receive special orientation since Satanism is more sly and subtle than what we struggle with physical crimes, drug problems and open social evils.
(6) Priority must be given to the development of youth and generation.
The rising of Satanism is the beginning of its down fall. Million of people of God around the world pray and act against it, knowing that this secretive movement harms the globe. The medicine to wipe out this movement is the super power of Jesus who defeated Devil. What we need today is not another movement or association of darkness but peace and harmony in the light of the Gospel. Young people, you must not accept the invitation of Lucifer who was thrown out from God’s presence. Satanism will mislead you, gravitating you to a total ending misery. It has nothing to offer you except taking your flesh and bone besides sucking your blood.
But Jesus who came in human form, died, rose again and coming back to receive His believers will offer you life on the basis of how you come to him (John 10:10).
The author made a thorough investigation of Satanism and satanic church during his stay in USA. He found it very depressive, horrible and dreadful. There is no any ray of hope in this direction. The morality, personality and totality of a person is all gone with it in regret. It totally destroys the purpose of a life given by God. Always say ‘No’ to it.
