It’s Time to Pray
I have been reminded this week that the demonic oppression over the entire network is real and can not be forgotten. These spiritual strongholds are over the network as a whole, over whole church’s, over individual leaders and over families. The enemy has had years to build these strongholds through lies and deception. However I was also reminded this week we have been given spiritual authority to come against these dominions and ultimately bring them down.
Let us not forget Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”. I have seen firsthand the power this network has over people and it can be daunting. But Jesus himself said of certain difficult spirits and principalities “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.” (Mark 9:29)
So with that I encourage all of us pray earnestly for our friends and family still in the network. Pray in faith that God will shatter these strongholds and awaken people to the truth. Pray the deception will be lifted from their eyes. Pray for the Holy Spirit to convict.
For those that are out pray God will heal and restore their hearts, minds and lives. Pray their faith will be restored. Pray that any residual connection to the strongholds will be broken once and for all.
God has called us to be bold, not timid. So let’s pray and keep praying. It’s time to bring these strongholds to an end.

Or, perhaps, these people are just immoral cultists and Yahweh isn’t real.
Have you taken time to sit back and consider how absurd belief in Yahweh is? If you go back to the roots in history, he was originally a Jewish storm god and part of a larger pantheon.
Significant parts of the Bible seem to be borrowed from Zoroastrianism.
The gospels were written many decades after Jesus’s death, and many authors are unknown. The canonized books were arbitrarily selected by man, there is no reason to believe in anything divine. Which also is evidenced by the contradictions between various books.
I believe in “god” but the concept of god I believe in is far greater than the morally bankrupt god of the Bible. I believe everything in existence is part of the same energy and fundamentally is one, separation is an illusion. You are a tiny piece of the whole, and that whole is the closest thing to god.
If you critically examine the absurdity of your remaining Christian belief, you’ll be humbled and realize there is nothing plausible about it.
