A lot is happening. A lot has already happened. In the midst of it all, I find myself returning to Christ. I don’t mean to distance myself from family and friends, but right now, my focus is on understanding God—truly understanding Him—so that there is no doubt in my heart that I am following the right path. With everything going on in the world, I find refuge in the Lord.
And yet, I understand why people struggle to believe in Him—I struggle too. How do you put faith in something you’ve never seen? The Bible is filled with accounts from men appointed by God, men with gifts beyond human comprehension. It makes me wonder—what if those whom society labels as mentally ill, like people with schizophrenia, are actually experiencing visions of truth that the rest of us cannot see? In scripture, prophets saw things others couldn’t. What if some people today have been given similar gifts, but instead of being believed, they are silenced—written off as insane?
The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare. If Satan is truly the ruler of this world, is he imprisoning those who know too much? Silencing those who could reveal the truth while deceiving those who live freely? My mother and her brother, both diagnosed with mental disorders, once claimed they saw the underground world—an inverted reality, like Stranger Things’ “Upside Down”—in a swimming pool behind a convention center. I didn’t see it myself, but I can’t write it off as impossible anymore.
Deception and Control
More and more, we hear about unexplained phenomena—alien sightings, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), and stories of extraterrestrial beings walking among us. Years ago, these ideas were dismissed as fantasy. Now, as reports increase, they are becoming harder to ignore. We trust the government to tell us the truth, but what if they don’t even know what’s really happening? Or worse—what if they do?
Take the case of Andrew Dawson, the man who filmed what appeared to be a giant on a mountain. His video went viral, but when he tried to get a closer look, he was stopped by a CIA agent. He began being followed by unmarked cars. He was coerced into recanting his story. Soon after, he died under mysterious circumstances—but not before saying that everything he had claimed was true.
Why does the government work so hard to suppress certain information? What truth are they trying to keep from us? They may say it’s for our protection, and maybe in some cases it is. But if mere humans are willing to go to such extreme measures, what lengths do you think the Devil will go to in order to keep you from finding out the ultimate truth?
The governments of this world are not just corrupt—they are spiritually compromised. Whether they realize it or not, they operate under forces beyond human understanding.
Spiritual Warfare in Politics and Culture
I believe Donald Trump is being used by dark forces. While I don’t think he is the Devil himself, I do believe he is being influenced by Satan—or at the very least, by his followers. The enemy has surrounded him with forces he cannot shake because he does not truly know God or Jesus. And he is not the only one. The influence of darkness is everywhere.
Look at the music industry. The songs we consume glorify infidelity, violence, and greed—the opposite of God’s teachings. Entertainment and media are powerful tools, and many believe they serve a darker purpose. Artists like Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, and Rihanna have openly referenced—some even praised—Satan in their music.
Even in everyday life, we are surrounded by subtle signs of deception. The commercialization of basic necessities, like food, contradicts the very nature of God’s provision. We were never meant to hoard wealth while others starve. If we take from those who have less, how can we claim to be followers of Christ?
For centuries, we have been deceived. Desensitized to the truth. From stories romanticizing mermaids and vampires to the branding on our favorite coffee shops. Take Starbucks, for example. The logo features a siren—a mythological creature known for luring sailors to their doom. She holds both her tails up in a way that suggests seduction and entrapment. It may seem trivial, but that’s the point. We dismiss it as nothing, failing to recognize how deeply ingrained these symbols have become in our culture.
The Question We Must Answer
If people acknowledge Satan’s existence, how can they deny God’s? One cannot exist without the other.
In a world that exalts pride over humility, we convince ourselves that we know best—even when the truth says otherwise. The ways of this world are not God’s ways, yet humanity clings stubbornly to its own understanding, refusing to accept that we might be wrong.
No one has seen God, and perhaps we never will. But He owes us no proof. It is we who must prove ourselves to Him.
