View source for Resisting Evil in the World

{{answer infobox |When life is attacked, it must be defended. There is an enemy to life who must be stopped. The strongest weapon of the enemy is the lie and so our strongest defense is the truth because if we believe a lie, we can be made to do almost anything. Therefore, our best defense is the Eternal's word in Scripture. Discerning truth from fiction and right from wrong are necessary tools when the enemy will mask and misrepresent things to lead one astray, bring hate, destruction, and death, and cause any abomination possible. }}

Discerning truth from fiction and right from wrong are necessary tools when the enemy will mask and misrepresent things to lead one astray, bring hate, destruction, death, and cause any abomination possible. The Deceiver is more than our enemy, he is the leader of the demonic rebellion and his schemes to desensitize us to evil and the value of life work through darkness, mysticism, and falsehood. Man Made religious traditions, that often masquerade as commandments, place a person under the authority and the potential cult-like leadership of the one's making the traditions and essentially state that the Eternal's ways are not accurate or good enough with the end result of people being led astray and often a water-downed, weak, or insufficient version of the Messiah as Savior. Truth, humility, and understanding one's genuine place in life are the ways to resist the temptations, weaknesses, and fantasies caused by the flesh and pride and offered by the secular world. The words and wisdom of the Kingdom of Heaven bring peace to the soul while the world seeks the pleasures and happiness of the body even to their own harm.

== [[Adversary and Accuser Summary]] ==
The Deceiver is more than our enemy, he is the leader of the demonic rebellion and his schemes to desensitize us to evil and the value of life work through darkness, mysticism, and falsehood. Our Adversary desires that we deny the Word of Elohim and even our Creator's very existence, ignore the spiritual aspects of life, and to follow the lusts of the flesh including pride, power, and money. For the purposes of his own self-indulgent schemes, Satan has worked to deceive mankind into following him rather than Elohim and exalt himself as a god and make us children of disobedience.

== [[Occult Realm Summary]] ==
The occult realm is filled with people who, knowingly or unknowingly, work with the evil side of the spiritual. Most of these people are just pursuing their own selfish will and use magic to achieve this and may be ignorant that it is demonically powered. Seemingly more rare are the people who truly worship evil and promote it's causes. The occult realm wants to remain hidden. It's practices are so repugnant and perverse that most people could not handle it's true depths. Recognizing the Kingdom of Darkness for what it is and that it is in opposition to the true Kingdom of Light is a major step towards getting out.
