this generation's spiritual battle

[Guest DivineLadyB]

Satan is indeed busy, roaming back and forth seeking whom to devour. But we serve a Mighty God. We need to keep our youth lifted in prayer!!! That God keeps His Hedge of Protection around them at all times.

Its a sick sad world right now and people who do not think that we are going through spiritual warfare are mistaken. I am 19 and I see it rage all around my generation. Satan looks to the future to make as many people stray as they can. God is comming soon and he knows it. So why not hit the younger more impressionalble age. Todays youth are surrounded by anti God propaganda everywhere. On tv all you see is sex and violence. Bythe time a child turns 16 years old they are so desensitized to violence and sex that their depiction of these issues is altered. Where is the shock when you see some one get murdered or you see a naked person having sex on tv? There is no shock, it is a regular occurance considered normal. It starts from an early age, satan covers his message in sheeps clothing using kids media to say its ok to participate and learn about witchcraft and make informed choices about believing in God. Kids are not even allowed to say the Lords prayer in school in a country that was founded in God. Pornography is a ready made source provided that turns Gods sacred act of love making into a grotesque animalistic orgy. Youths music now a days promotes sex and drugs. Alot of it also says how its so cool to self mutilate yourself and if there was a God you wouldnt have to go through the pain that you do. All around the youth in the world satan is trying to pound in their heads that there is no God and to give into sinful pleasure is the norm. The road of the Lord is not easy and with all the anti god media and influence around youth its even harder. How can a young person fight against a media empire, science, and the devil?? so when you ask if there is spiritual warfare the answer is yes, all around you.

If Jesus is the prodical son who is the dutyful son? it has been 2000 year since Jesus came and i believe gods plan for the new jerusalem to decend too the earth is presently in hand.

Read revelations and link the 7 churchs with two icons (the lamp stand which is the bride of christ and the star which is the angel sent by the father)each with the 7 trumpets and the 7 seals then read the synoptics mathew, mark, luke, and john

and believe there was a Prodical son sent to save from blood guilt so there has to be the dutyful son to save us from eatting foods sacrificed to idols which is the devils food and causes us to sin.

We are booth spirit and physical and have a stomach in our soul and physical body. Our feeling are the spiritual food that we eat and share.

So if you feel gelous of some one for likeing someone more than you, you may give off a feeling which may hurt someone.

So if Jesus died physicaly to save us os sins such as theft or murder, who will save us from our spiritual sin when we hurt each others feelings? how will the dutyful son save us as in death to be rezzurected?

Greetings;

Do you love Jesus ? Do you know Him ? He's my best friend....He died for the remission of ALL my sins. Do you know Him ? He's so good.....would you like to know more ? I'd love to introduce you to Jesus Christ. Isn't that a beautiful name ? Jesus Christ - Son of God.

Are you here to learn ? Here to fellow with His children ? If so, Welcome!....pull up a chair....we'll have a chat....we'll be happy to show you what Jesus has done in our lives....He's so good :il:

Jesus Christ - do you know Him ? More important, do you LOVE Him ? Will you SUBMIT to Him ? I have.....

It's worth it! Jesus is worth it. Consider learning of Him and loving Him!

Dignus est Agnus! Worthy is the LAMB!

God bless,

His name wasn't Jesus Christ. It would have be Jesus Ben Joseph.

On a serious note. Heres the problem, the youth of this country (me being one) are plain bored with christianity as it is presented to us. A change must be made to interest the youth again. Something I have always believed would be beneficial is a widely accepted modern translation of the bible, us kids get annoyed and confused with the archaic wording of the king james. (If there is a good modern translation bible I can get ahold of, PLEASE TELL ME, I would truly appreciate it).

I personally only became interested in the big J.C. after my religion teacher started showing me the historical jesus. His progressive social attitudes and social work. That really touched me, I have always been one to help everyone as much as I could, yes I am a teenager, and as such I have definate streaks of possesivness, anger, jealosy, greed, etc. But I truly feel joy when helping others, you would probably call that the spirit of God.

I can tell you that the threat of eternal suffering is seen as a scare tactic to us. It just seems like a threat, and you know how us kids react to threats. Maybe showing the positive side of Jesus would be better. And the whole "heres jesus, he's my best friend, friend, friend, special, wow, friend" stuff just annoys us, it really does.

I would suggest trying to ways to evangelize. Something refreshing, something us youth can really get behind, a cause if you will. At don't say the cause is saving our souls, because like I said, That is just a threat to us, and we hate threats.

I agree completely. Today's society is based around sin. We see it EVERYDAY on t.v. Homosexuality, sex, murder etc.

Yup, and who will stand against it? I guess we

[Guest heavenbound4u]

Its true we are all to worried about stepping on each others toes so we dance around the issues never really solving anything. People compromize their beliefs to be politically correct. Like I heard that the Anglican or Protestant church in Canada is now allowing homosexual marriages in the church! Well if that is not a compromize then I do not now what is. I think satan is using this political correctness to his atvantage.

The world is so heavily influenced by Satan.The signs of the times.The New Age phenomenon appears to be an eclectic or smorgasbord approach to Christ.

I'm involved with the youth in my church and I am under 30.

I think God also gives us a challenge. I believe, in the Gospel of Matthew, 28:19:
