Go(o)d versus (d)Evil: No More Hiding

Hollywood, once a hub of entertainment, has undergone significant changes over the years. What was originally a center for creative expression and storytelling has evolved into an industry influenced by various agendas, controlled by elites, and intertwined with government and global interests.

We can certainly admire the talents of actors, actresses, musicians and entertainers who provide us with enjoyable entertainment to cap off our day. However, there appears to be a troubling underbelly to this industry. While there may have been skepticism in the past regarding the potential compromise, manipulation, and even involvement in occult practices among entertainers, it has become increasingly evident that such concerns are not unfounded.

Increasingly, people are recognizing that a significant number of entertainers are influenced by external forces and have made compromises in their careers. This is particularly evident in the emergence of performances and events with apparent Satanic themes, such as concerts, Super Bowl halftime shows, music videos, and more.

Wealth and fame have a price to pay. Drawing a parallel to the biblical story where the devil tempted Jesus with worldly power and riches, it's intriguing to consider whether the allure of fame and wealth in Hollywood carries a spiritual and moral price tag.

In Matthew 4:8-9 (KJV), it is written: "Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me."

In the quiet murmurs of ambition, there exists a seductive promise, tempting individuals with the dazzling allure of riches, vanity, and ego. Little do many realize, a reckoning awaits on the horizon, a toll to be paid for the coveted treasures of fame and fortune. They revel in their spoils, their judgment often obscured by opulence, all while remaining oblivious to the clandestine agreements they've entered into.

Yet, as history foretells, the devil's ledger remains unforgiving. The lingering question carries a weight of profound consequence: At what spiritual toll did they willingly barter their souls? While no specific scripture directly addresses these modern circumstances, the Bible offers guidance on the perils of worldly temptations and the importance of guarding one's soul. Scriptures like Matthew 16:26 (KJV) remind us: "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

As the facade of fame begins to crack, a stark reality emerges. They may possess wealth and acclaim, but privacy becomes an elusive specter. Expansive homes echo with emptiness, devoid of genuine companionship. Trustworthy friends are but a rare gem, overshadowed by those seeking a slice of their prosperity. And when the tides of fortune recede, the frenemies scatter. like the wind.

The toll on one's soul can be deeply profound, as the pursuit of material wealth often leaves an emptiness that casts a long shadow over the heart. Loneliness, stemming from the isolation that fame can bring, has the potential to erode the spirit. Furthermore, the weight of questionable agendas imposed upon celebrities by hidden hands can bend their conscience, leaving them in a moral quandary.

This leads to an important question: Have you observed a pattern of transformation in the families of celebrities, particularly with regard to gender identity? And what about the evolution of former Disney child stars who now take the stage, often displaying symbols such as devil horns, upside-down crosses, one-eye photos, 666, and Baphomet signs? These phenomena raise a significant inquiry: What is driving these changes and choices in the entertainment industry? Is there more to these transformations than meets the eye? No pun intended!

In the depths of my conviction, I hold that some are coerced, and lured into this intricate web of deception. They may be bribed, manipulated, or ensnared, their lives and loved ones threatened, forcing them to be pawns in a machine that seeks to shape and, in some cases, distort the minds of the world. The struggle to navigate this treacherous path is a battle not only for fame but for the preservation of their own souls.

Living under the relentless glare of cameras, with others meticulously adorning them, clad in attire that would make grandma blush and rekindle grandpa's youthful vigor. But at what price? What about our children, our youth? How did this allure become a coveted aspiration etched into the impressionable minds of our beloved offspring? Misguided desires.

Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) - "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This scripture underscores the importance of guiding our children in a righteous and virtuous way, shielding them from harmful influences.

How have we arrived at this point, where the masses bear the burdens orchestrated by a select few? It's a story etched in broken homes, nurtured by rebellion, government over-reach, and corruption of all kinds from all kinds, and left unattended by the scales of justice. This narrative has created its own relentless heartbeat, but instead of breathing life, it has infected us with deteriorating morals, foul speech, seething anger, and unbridled pride, and careless sins.

I grieve not only for children but also for them, for us. The toll we all must bear is knocking at our very doorsteps. Our predecessors, our parents, and grandparents, paid heed to the world's temptations and its worldly allure. In the process, we allowed ourselves to drift away from God and the divine values that tried to grant us the finest life, unparalleled peace, boundless love, and the very best of everything.

Instead, we settled for the mere crumbs left behind by clandestine deals struck behind closed doors, sexual favors, and hideous crimes against humanity, all sealed within the confines of luxurious hotels and hidden cameras. The truth remains, we have been afflicted and infected by lie after lie after lie.

What's the way forward? It begins with prayer. We must turn away from our wicked paths and place our trust in God to lead us out of this darkness:  2 Chronicles 7:14 in the Old Testament says "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

This verse emphasizes the importance of repentance and turning away from sinful behavior as a condition for seeking God's forgiveness and receiving healing for our lands. It calls for humility, prayer, and a genuine change of heart.

I'm sure we can understand how the allure of fame and wealth might lead individuals down morally questionable paths and consider the biblical admonition to "turn from your wicked ways" as a guiding principle for making ethical choices in the entertainment industry or any other sphere of life.

Regrettably, we've allowed abhorrent crimes and sex trafficking, pedophilia, organ trafficking, and drug proliferation to thrive amidst our society. Rebellion and the sexualization of nearly everything have robbed us of our peace and purity. One can't help but wonder, what might the world be like if we had steadfastly kept God at its center?

In contemporary times, we find ourselves facing a distortion of the fundamental concepts of good and evil. It appears that the influential forces shaping this narrative seek to convince us that the very essence of goodness is the problem.

It's a paradoxical situation, considering that God holds humanity in such high regard, even placing us above angels, as suggested in the scripture about judging angels found in 1 Corinthians 6:3:  "Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!"  This scripture underscores the unique position of humanity in God's plan.

It's a battle waged between good and evil, and while humanity has its role to play, it's not our show alone. We are all, in many ways, akin to puppets on this grand stage. The critical question to ask is, who is pulling your strings? There are only two sides.

Let us reflect on Isaiah 5:20 (KJV): "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" This verse reminds us of the dangers of distorting the line between good and evil.

Furthermore, in Ephesians 6:12 (KJV), we are reminded of the spiritual battle that rages around us: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." It's a sobering realization that there are spiritual forces at play in the world, not aliens.

As we grapple with these challenges, may we remember Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV): "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Our faith and trust in God can guide us through these tumultuous times.

Our choices are the currency of our lives. It's a simple but profound truth—our actions and decisions shape our destinies. We live in a world where every choice has consequences, and it's a never-ending cycle of cause and effect.  However, here's the remarkable part: we possess the power to make different choices. We can be the agents of change, individually and collectively. The world is in need of transformation, and it begins with us.

So, let reflect, and make choices that align with our deepest convictions and the betterment of humanity. We have the power to change the course of our lives and the world around us.

This message is for all those who feel like puppets in a world that sometimes seems governed by darkness. You may have made choices that led you down a path you never intended to take, and now you feel trapped. But I want you to know that there is a way out, and it starts with understanding the true nature of your choices.

1 Corinthians 10:13: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."

This offers reassurance that God is faithful and does not allow us to face temptations that are beyond our ability to resist. He provides an escape route or a way to endure the temptation. It emphasizes the importance of relying on God's strength and guidance when facing trials and temptations.

With the allure of fame and wealth in Hollywood or any other field, how might this biblical concept of a "way out" influence one's decision-making process? How can individuals in such environments turn to their faith for strength and guidance when confronted with moral or ethical challenges?

Your value is far more than a contract with evil forces; it's the choices you make every day. You cannot sell your soul to the devil, for your soul is a part of you, inseparable from who you are. It goes wherever you go, and it yearns for something better. Fear may have become your guide, but it's not the only path available to you. God is waiting for you to return, to rediscover the purpose and meaning that only He can provide. He has plans for your life, and His wisdom surpasses any deals made in the shadows.

Let me remind you of the words of Psalm 34:17-18 (KJV): "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."

God is ready to hear your cry, to deliver you from your troubles, and to draw near to you in your brokenness. It's not too late to change the course of your life and break free from the strings that bind you. This message is for all those who feel like puppets in a world that sometimes seems governed by darkness. You may have made choices that led you down a path you never intended to take, and now you feel trapped. But I want you to know that there is a way out, and it starts with understanding the true nature of your choices and identifying the road out: Jesus.

Acts 4:12 (NIV):  "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."  This verse emphasizes the unique and central role of Jesus Christ in the process of salvation, highlighting the importance of turning to Him and calling upon His name for redemption and eternal life.

God is ready to hear your cry, to deliver you from your troubles, and to draw near to you in your brokenness. It's not too late to change the course of your life and break free from the strings that bind you.
