There are some very intelligent people out there. They are Harvard and Yale graduates. They had 1600 SAT score. They are pretty smart. Satan, he recruits out of that pool of people.
Harvard, started as a Christian institution. Harvard has had an Atheist Head Chaplin. What happened? Various Professors there, very smart people, they were Satanists. Not quite a Satanists like Anton LaVay. They are smarter than that. They did things behind the scenes so to speak. Are you smarter than them? I am not. I have God Almighty. God knows everything. They may have been smart, they were foolish.
Some people, they get really attached to something like D&D. There is a stripping process to growing in faith. It is a processes where false beliefs and perspectives are stripped from someone. It is sort of like waking up from The Matrix.
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
Part of Spiritual Warfare has been a war of words, a war of thoughts. How does man perceive himself? How does man perceive God?
When someone is role playing, how are they perceiving themselves? Given someone is reading Harry Potter, are they perceiving themselves as a Harry Potter? Given someone was reading a book about vampires, are they perceiving themselves in that? World of Warcraft has been a pretty popular role playing game. Was someone perceiving themselves as a Druid? I tell you right now, God really hated the Druids. There is a reason they were shepherded into one spot and killed by the Romans. There is a reality there.
Given someone is a Christian, they are seeking God with all their heart and soul and strength and mind. Reading or role playing in something questionable......someone was not seeking. They were potentially drifting away from God.
Is something like D&D Satanic? Yes. There is a lot of bad media out there that someone could have gotten into. Could someone play World of Warcraft or D&D and be a Christian? Yes. There is a danger there. Were you aware of the danger?
It was the end of may 2014. I bought myself some books. I had been in jail for things like sleeping in my truck, and walking home from a bar. Been in jail for over a month altogether. I went to Barnes and Noble. I bought myself some favorite childhood novels. I really liked the Dragonlance book series growing up. I bought myself some of those books.
ReplyDeleteI had come really close to God. While I was in jail, I had been reading my Bible, and had my mind on God. I tried to read one of the books I bought, and I couldn't. Trying to read it, my mind would scramble. I couldn't make sense of it. My motivation for reading was taken from me by God.
I have a hard time reading anything that is not The Bible, the news, or non-fiction, for the most part.
