No question that Facebook is a great tool for communication.
I recall the old days before
email, even before faxes, when the only communication available, besides some rich
neighbor’s phone, was a letter that would take a week or two to get to its
destination and the same for the response.
Facebook, and other similar platforms for communication is something outstanding. Connecting with friends and relatives at your fingertips is almost speechless considering the old, old days.
But when
it’s being used for other purposes, it becomes a concern, and an evaluation of
values needs to be applied. Just like other platforms, and the Internet itself,
they are promoting and feeding bad and evil information that creates bad and
evil influences, that in the long run, maybe shorter than longer, it creates bad
and evil effects in people’s lives, whether they like it or not, whether they see
it or not, and whether they believe it or not. But when this happens with Christians… I can’t be quite, sit back and relax.
Many times from the pulpit, I have warn my flock to be careful with all types of influences
that are spreading rapidly in our world, when majority of them, if not all, the
purpose is to deceive believers, keep them busy, entertained, and enticed with superfluous
ideas and beliefs that some consider funny, entertaining and even for community
pleasure. As we approach the rapture event, Satan who knows better than some believers how to interpret the signs of the
times, the last days, and he knows how short his time is… he will do anything,
and he’s doing everything, to deceive believers, trap them and have them be…
left behind. He has no other goal than to deceive. And the same way he deceived
Eve badly with good… he will do it, he’s doing it, and he won’t stop till his
final day comes.
Why are Christians so ignorant on this? Why are many so blind, so
blind that they can’t decipher bad from
good or evil from good? Are they really a new creation, with new thoughts,
with new perceptions and with a new mind? How can someone be redeemed, and transformed
into the same image of Christ, have the same mind, but… are doing, acting,
thinking, believing, seeing, agreeing, sharing, posting, liking, and saving,
etc… like everybody else. How? And
this is done by those that are in the same level that they were before, where
bad and evil always dresses good, smells good, even has a good breath and
nothing evil, nothing wrong, nothing perverted, nothing unholy… he’s showing
behind the mask.
Saints… be careful how you’re using Facebook.
Be careful with the things that you’re liking that have nothing to do with your
new life in Christ Jesus. Be careful with what you see, and then you share or
even save. Always double check, where it’s coming from and especially… the
source (who initially posted it). And if it looks inoffensive, and it’s been
posted by a friend or a relative, double check it. Not only where it came from
but especially where or who generated it. Always check what and who is behind a
nice, funny, pleasant or even Christian post. Always be suspicious of anything
on Facebook. I mean…anything.
Keep
in mind that the power of evil that has infiltrated in Facebook and other social
media platforms is being used right now, as I type, to deceive young men and
women and even older ones, to join evil forces that are spreading through every
country, to destroy, kill and reign the world. Satan couldn’t find a better way
to work in the minds of people. Social media platforms are his best tool, and
he is succeeding.
Final advice;
Watch
your shares. When you share you agree.
Also, be careful with your comments. Words have power when spoken but also when
written. Some jokes can harm you and you won’t even notice it. Not even when
its sting hits you. Satan has a special anesthesia that is attached to every
evil post, just to keep you so numb that you just go for it… easily. Keep in
mind that when I mention evil… you will never see it, again… just like Eve
didn’t. Eve saw evil as good, because it was presented to her, as good. Be very
careful with some supposedly Christian posts. It just doesn’t matter who posted
it. We are living in the highest deception times ever. Judas walked with Jesus,
ate with Jesus, prayed with Jesus, laughed with Jesus, learned with Jesus, yet…
betrayed Jesus.
Encourage yourself to like, share, comment and post good and
blessing posts that you know for sure
that they are good and they will be a blessing to others. Ask God’s Holy Spirit
for that discernment. Otherwise, you can’t do it on your own common sense. The
apostle Paul warned the church in Corinthian (1 Corinthians 2:14), that
spiritual things can ONLY be discerned, spiritually.
Be very careful with posts or videos that talk
about love, peace, serenity, spiritual energy, harmony, aura colors, balance, calmness,
meditation, etc… and there’s no biblical scripture attached… this is the New
Age stratagem to entice and bit people and move them into a state of apathy
where they will be slowly brainwashed, thinking and believing that it’s all
about God.
One other thing; be very careful of what you post, whether through
images or words, about yourself, your family, your life… anything. Even with
all the security that Facebook and other media platforms offer, you’re not
secure as you think. You can apply all the privacy settings that you have
available to you, but you still don’t have that privacy that you believe you
have. There’s too much going on now in this area of privacy. People are being
deceived and don’t even notice it. Sad, but true. And you also need to consider
what it is private and what is personal.
Certain things you should never by no means share with anyone, less on
Facebook, or other platforms. Unfortunately many people, inclusively many
believers have not figured out yet, that Facebook is an x-ray of their souls,
their mind and their understanding.
Today it’s very easy… very very easy, to
see what someone believes, thinks, accepts, inclusively their “hidden” fleshy
desires, vices, inappropriate pleasures, and so much more, by just following
them on Facebook. Yes… Facebook is the new era x-ray of the soul and many are
opened to it, exposed and subjected to the consequences. I’ll close with the words of Jesus and the
apostle Paul concerning the last day’s deception.
Watch!
Don’t sleep!
