A friend told me about a man he knew,he said that he and his wife had got involved with the JWs,one day my friend visited him,and give him a scripture,his friend started crying,and cried out,'I don't know what to believe'. The sad end of this story was he committed suicide,yes there is much confusion in the world. In one of my daily readings I read how Satan is a master counterfeiter,the cults proclaim a Christ,but their Christ is not the Christ of the Bible. In 2 Corinthians 4 v4 we read ,'The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ ,who is image of God'.No wonder there is so much confusion in the world.'Satan has blinded , not the emotions,or the will,but the mind of man', writes Paul Barnett.Consider the following words ,'The whole world is under the control of the evil one' (1 John 5 v19) These are very awesome words,how did one very evil man take over Germany,and lead them into so much evil. Germany is only the tip of the iceberg. It is time we began to take serious that there is a devil and the power he has over all humanity,and why there is so much confusion in the this fallen world.There are two kingdoms in this world ,the kingdom of darkness ruled over by Satan, and the kingdom of light ,in which God rules.Every day I pray what our Saviour told us to pray,' Your kingdom come', (Matthew 6 v 10) The gospel is the key to open the prison in which humanity is held captive,it is Charles Wesley who wrote the following.
'Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nastures night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke ,the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off ,my heart was free;
I rose, went forth,and followed Thee'
