WHOSE Conspiracy???

After much thought, I have come to a conclusion: I believe that one of satan's most powerful weapons today is conspiracy theories!  If you read enough of them, you will start to believe them- and the problem is, they all say something a little different!  They are one of the enemy's number one sources of CONFUSION. His favorite battle field is the human mind. Fear, paranoia, and (extreme) suspicion are very effective tools in his hand, and can make a person crazy~ don't fall into his trap! 

The Bible says "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee" Isaiah 26:3

There's no harm in being alert, being informed.  In fact, the Bible also admonishes us to do that, all through the Gospels, Jesus warned us to WATCH, to BE AWARE, and Paul in his letters warned us to BE SOBER and VIGILANT..... there is a major difference however, in being "on our guard" and being a nervous paranoid wreck!  Think about a soldier- they MUST keep their wits about them in the heat of battle- if they fall apart and get hysterical, they are most assuredly a sitting duck for the enemy!  

I realize that we live in an evil world, and that wicked minded men are everywhere, especially within the circles of high authority and power positions.  I am sure that there is a LOT that goes on behind closed doors that we, the general public, do not know about- that's probably a good thing actually.  

It is easy to get caught up in searching out these stories and reports of intrigue, mystery, scandal, and top secret activities- the human mind is naturally curious of what is hidden.  But we are instructed by the word of God to not waste our time, because these are evil days we live in (Eph 5:16)  God wants us to be good stewards, of everything he's blessed us with, and that includes our time.  We can get so involved in this pursuit, we can easily start to neglect the whole purpose of our redemption- the rescuing of other lost souls in the grip of the enemy!  Also, we can neglect GOD, and communion with him- why he created us to begin with.  

These last days ARE evil, and they can be terrifying at times.  The Bible says in Luke 21:26 "Men’s hearts will fail them for fear and for looking upon those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."...... but 2 Timothy 1:7 says  "God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, of love, and of a sound mind".  It's high time that God's people realize who they belong to.... and discover, and LIVE DAILY in the 91st Psalm!

I'm reminded of a little chorus we used to sing:  Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in his wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.

Philipians 4:8 - "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
