1 John 5:19 NIV “We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.”

Many of us live in a society where we’re told the majority rules. If the majority is doing it it must be right, right? According to God’s word that is so wrong:

Matthew 7:13-14 NLT “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. [14] But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.”

In God’s kingdom the minority rules. Only a few find the road to eternal life, while the majority are going the wrong way. Remember the 12 spies that came back from spying out the land God wanted to give Israel? Ten of them gave a bad report. But only two of them, Joshua and Caleb trusted the Lord. The ten talked about how large and strong the people were. Hence it would be impossible to defeat them. But Joshua and Caleb believed God could do to them the same thing He did to Pharaoh and his army. The Israelites believed the majority’s faithless report. This led millions of Israelites to murmur against God. They quickly forgot God’s miracles; how He led them out of Egypt. The result was their enemies conquered them, and many lost their lives. 

Remember King Ahab’s 400 prophets who prophesied victory for him in the battle he was about to face? Only one prophet, Micah a prophet of the Lord had the courage to tell Ahab the truth. He told king Ahab his prophets were prophesying lies to him; he would lose the battle, and die in it. Micah’s words came true because they were from God. Ahab died the next day. So much for if everyone else is saying it it must be the thing to do.

DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE

The media controls people. It’s an effective tool to govern the whole world. If every news outlet says something it must be true, right? Wrong! This is propaganda. It’s one of Satan’s tricks to sway the minds of the masses. Remember, the Devil is the ruler of this world system. (Ephesians 2:2) When you want to convict someone of a crime you get as many witnesses as possible. People will usually believe somebody is guilty just because many say they are. It’s how we’re conditioned to think. And the person might be innocent. When you want to introduce new ideas and behaviors to the public you pay celebrities to say it’s right. If the people we look up to are saying it’s right it has to be right, right? Not so. Usually, it’s propaganda.

Learn to think for yourself. Break away from the hive mind. Be courageous enough to question what you hear. Especially when everyone is saying do it. That should raise flags. Why? Because the whole world system is under the control of Satan the Bible says. And God’s word also says everything esteemed among mankind is an abomination to God. (Luke 16:15)
