These are some of the most popular “positive” words being pushed today by Satan’s programmers, i.e., parts of the news media, entertainment industry, corporate advertising, etc. Start looking and listening and they’ll appear everywhere.
The Super Bowl halftime show this year had as its theme: “Believe
in Love.” These words were even spelled out in the stands by seated crowd
members lifting rainbow-colored placards at the performance’s close.
Pope Francis and the Vatican released a minute-and-a-half
long video on January 6 that went viral about how all religions are equally valid. Profiled was
a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Jew and a Christian, all of whom said in different
languages at the end of the video, “I believe in love.”
The pope proclaimed, “Many
think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different
ways. In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty
that we have for all: we are all children of God.”
Think about how the cults and secret societies, etc., prey on children made to think they are "different" and not "fitting in."

“We’re living in the most important, impactful decade of our
life right now,” repeatedly reminds my pastor, Richard Jordan. “Genesis 8 says God has a
nation to function on a life cycle—spring, summer, fall and winter. We’re in
the wintertime right now in our culture.
“People talk about the Millennial Generation and the G.I.
Joe Generation and all that. That generational structure came from studies by
two guys in California at UCLA—Strauss and Howe.
“These guys didn’t know anything about the Bible, but they
described in historic terms exactly what Genesis 8 says a generation is to be
like. When I read their book and saw those two things come together I said, ‘Woah!’
“We live in right now what the Bible calls the wintertime
and what Strauss and Howe call the ‘unraveling,’ where things CHANGE.
“The most important cycle of the year is the wintertime. If you’re
a farmer, what do you harvest in the fall? What you planted in the spring. When
did you decide what you were going to plant in the springtime? You made those
decisions in the winter.
“There are choices and what you see unraveling out there, if
you want to see what happens when a nation falls apart from a complete
abandonment of the things of God, look at the nation Israel (in the Bible).”

“Everybody has some kind of thing they are dependent on,”
assures California preacher John Verstegen. “The world depends on drugs, sex,
alcohol, politics, pride, fame, wealth, popularity. Everyone lives with some
kind of dependency.
“The psychologist says to the psychiatrist, ‘Oh, you have
this dependant relationship.’ He responds, ‘Yeah, but so do you.’
“Watch this dependency: ‘I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.’
(Gal. 2:20)
“This life that we call the ‘Christian life,’ ‘Christ who is
our life,’ is a life of dependency. It’s the only life of dependency that
really makes any sense and it’s the true cling of dependency. Everything else
is just trying to counterfeit for the true, for the real.”

Jordan: “Somebody says, ‘Joe, you’re created in the image of
God.’ Problem is you weren’t; you were born in the image of Adam. Genesis 5,
the first three verses, go read it.
“God created Adam in his own image, but Adam did what? He messed
the image up; he effaced the image. He introduced sin into the image of God and
you’re born in the image of a fallen creation. Somebody says, ‘Well, I was born
that way.’ That’s right. You were born a sinner.
“David said, ‘In sin did my mother conceive me.’ He’s not
talking about his mother stepping out on his daddy. He’s talking about the
conception of man. You’re a sinner from the moment of your conception. It’s in
our nature.
“But in our makeup, in the way God made us, He made a part of
us that is designed to know Him. And when that part doesn’t function, you have an
empty place.
“What we do is try sticking something in that empty place
all the time. We have a sense there is something down inside of us--there’s a
cry for validation and acceptance and forgiveness and meaning and purpose in
life that we have--and we keep sticking stuff in to try and get it and it never
works.
“The reason for that
is God put down in us a knowledge of Him; a place for Him. ‘ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.’ (Rom. 1:20)
“Listen, nobody’s born an atheist. To become an atheist you have
to talk yourself into it. Understand, you have to be ‘growned’ into atheism. You
have to be led into it. Now you’re led into it willingly. ‘The fool has said in
his heart there is no God.’
“You know who you want to be God? You. You know the problem
with that? You ain’t God. You know how I know? In the beginning God did what? He
created the heaven and the earth.
“You want to say, ‘I’ll create my world.’ Well, okay, step
out over there into nothing and create you a universe and you can be God. You see,
you’re in HIS creation. We try to create our own little world but we steal His
stuff—His air, His food, His creation, His people. We steal to do it because we
aren’t God. So we all start out knowing, having an innate understanding that
there’s a God.”
