I
have enjoyed listening to Paul Harvey for years. There is a certain
“refinement” to his concise, precise and very direct commentary.
The link above will take you to one of my favorite messages by this
great man and every second you spend listening to the message will be
a blessing if you will really, really listen.
Please take special note of the date, for it was about that time that
The United States of America began to change from a nation whose
focus on the things of God to those of the god of this world. While
this broadcast dealt primarily with his tactics, I think it is
worthwhile to consider the Devil’s motives. The apostle Peter says…
1
Peter 5 (World English
Bible)
1 I
exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder, and a witness of the
sufferings of Christ, and who will also share in the glory that will
be revealed. 2 Shepherd
the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not
under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but
willingly; 3 neither
as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves
examples to the flock. 4 When
the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory
that doesn’t fade away.
5 Likewise, you younger ones, be subject to the elder. Yes, all of you clothe yourselves with humility, to subject yourselves to one another; for “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; 7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

Be
sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil,
walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may
devour. 9 Withstand
him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in
the world are undergoing the same sufferings. (emphasis
added) 10 But
may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by
Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little while, perfect,
establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To
him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
Satan
hates Christians (and for that matter, all humans) and will do
anything and everything to destroy them. Is it no wonder then, that
The United States of America, with its foundations based in God-given
freedom and piety towards the almighty is his number one target. From
my perspective, Satan is making headway towards the destruction of
this nation. However, there is hope. Ever since the election of
Donald J. Trump, there has been a turn towards godliness in this
country. I pray to God that it will continue!!! God answers prayers
and The Devil will ultimately be defeated, but each and every one of
us must continue to pray for our country!!!
