We ain't just streamed safer with the prophets to code

Yeh yeh ye yep, straight from the broadcast studio and
15
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:04.239
then the static ecstatic statics stony snow it straight from
16
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.120
the podcasting here straight from the podcast.
17
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.519
If I were the enemy, and I mean the real one,
18
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.400
the ancient serpent who's been whispering live since Eden, I
19
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:26.400
wouldn't waste my time burning churches or banning Bibles. That's
20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:33.879
amateur hour. No, I'd go subtle, surgical. I'd hollow Christianity
21
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.439
out from the inside. I'd twist the truth just enough
22
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.760
to sound holy. I'd swap out repentance for self help,
23
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:49.040
trade spiritual fire for feeling good fog, and make sure
24
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:55.879
the Gospel got burned under branding algorithms and applause. I
25
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.480
wouldn't attack the church from the outside. I'd join in,
26
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.000
slip in the back door, wearing Sunday Best, quoting scripture
27
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:11.960
out of context, and make compromise look like progress. This
28
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.240
episode is a spiritual counterintelligence briefing, not for the faint
29
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.159
of heart. We're going to dig deep into six core
30
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:28.840
strategies the enemy is using to dismantle Christianity, not in
31
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:33.879
the headlines, but in the hearts and habits of believers.
32
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:41.439
It's death by a thousand cuts, death by doctrine, twisted community,
33
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:48.879
fractured conviction, dulled leaders taken out, and apathy sold as peace.
34
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.879
It's not a conspiracy theory, it's an ancient war, and
35
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.439
the battlefield isn't just politics or pulpits, it's your soul.
36
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.879
So buckle up and listen before we go any further,
37
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:11.080
like share and review this podcast. Not for vanity, but
38
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:15.479
because every seed planted pushes back the darkness just a
39
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.240
little more. And this show grows because you make it grow.
40
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:25.039
So don't just consume, participate. That's how we stay sharp,
41
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.400
That's how we stay dangerous. All right, Time to step
42
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.800
into the war room. Let's take a look at how
43
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:39.520
you destroy Christianity from the inside if you were the enemy,
44
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:48.000
So section one Divide and conquer the weaponization of doctrine.
45
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.879
If you're the enemy and you want to dismantle Christianity,
46
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.800
you don't start with Satanic temples or which covens. You
47
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:03.560
start with doctrine, but not by removing it, by twisting it.
48
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:08.800
Here's the thing about Christians. We love our theology and
49
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.840
we should. Doctrine is the spine of belief. But if
50
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.879
you're crafty, if you know how to stir the pot,
51
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.519
you take that love of theology, throw in some pride,
52
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:26.959
isolate a few verses, and turn iron sharpening iron into
53
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.560
full blown civil war. Suddenly it's not enough to be
54
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.560
a follower of Christ. You're a Calvinist follower of Christ
55
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:41.160
or a pre millennial dispensationalist with a YouTube channel into
56
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:46.279
superiority complex, or you roll your eyes at anyone who
57
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:51.639
doesn't speak in tongues, or does you see what just
58
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:59.959
happened there? Division masquerading as devotion doctrine believes doctrine becomes
59
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.160
tribal identity, and everyone not in your camp is suspect.
60
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:11.160
Stop contending for the faith and start contending with your brother. Meanwhile,
61
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.199
the actual enemy just leans back and SIPs his coffee
62
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.560
because we're doing his job for him. The most dangerous
63
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.240
lies aren't the ones shouted from Hell's pulpits. They're the
64
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:28.800
ones whispered in Christian circles, slightly off but sounding holy
65
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:35.079
like this, we're the only ones really preaching truth. They
66
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.519
don't teach the full Gospel. I couldn't worship at that church.
67
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:47.839
It's too seeker friendly. Sometimes that's discernment. Sometimes it's spirit
68
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.720
spiritual elitism with a new code of paint. Remember how
69
00:05:53.800 --> 00:06:00.720
Jesus prayed before going to the cross. Not for better sermons,
70
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.959
not for perfect theology. He prayed that we would be
71
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:11.360
one as he and the Father are one. John seventeen
72
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:16.920
twenty one. Unity wasn't a suggestion, it was a strategy.
73
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.720
But unity doesn't mean uniformity. You don't have to agree
74
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:29.680
on every eschatological theory or how wet someone gets during baptism.
75
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.560
But if we elevate those things above the cross, we're
76
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.600
not defending truth. We're dividing the body. And here's the kicker.
77
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.360
The early Church didn't even have the New Testament, yet
78
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:49.920
they had the spirit, the apostles teaching, and a radical
79
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.519
devotion to Christ and one another. They were killed for
80
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:59.959
their faith. Together. We separate over carpet color and which
81
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:06.800
Bible translation someone reads. It's embarrassing. Worse, it's spiritually lethal.
82
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.879
The enemy doesn't care which camp you're in as long
83
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.279
as you care more about that camp than the kingdom.
84
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:19.120
Because when a house is divided, it falls. So what's
85
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:26.240
the antidote? Humility, discernment and remembering that the only banner
86
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:33.240
we rally under is Christ crucified, risen and returning. Disagree, debate,
87
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:37.399
dig into scripture, but don't let your love of truth
88
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.560
turn into a license to attack your brothers and sisters.
89
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.800
That's not defending the Gospel, it's dismantling it. And that's
90
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:51.879
how the enemy gets a foothold. Section two offended to
91
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.839
the point of isolation. When the enemy uses your wounds.
92
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.879
Let's get real for a second. Churchhart is one of
93
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:06.439
the enemy's favorite tools. Not because the church is evil,
94
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:12.959
but because it's full of people, broken people, wounded people,
95
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.240
people who sometimes say stupid things, forget birthdays, fail to
96
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:23.279
follow up, and occasionally weaponized scripture when they're angry or
97
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:29.040
being insecure, and you know who's watching, waiting jotting down
98
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:35.120
notes like a spiritual saboteur the enemy, because nothing dismantles
99
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:40.320
the spiritual community faster than offense. Now, let's clarify. We're
100
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.879
not talking about legitimate abuse or corruption. Those need to
101
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:49.679
be exposed and dealt with. I'm talking about the thousands
102
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:53.519
of subtle, festering offenses that creep in like mold in
103
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:58.360
the corners of your soul. Someone didn't acknowledge your contribution,
104
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.600
a leader didn't turn your message. You weren't invited to
105
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.159
the small group hangout. They made a joke that cut
106
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:10.360
too deep. They voted differently than you, and just like that,
107
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:15.399
a bitter route starts to grow. The enemy whispers they
108
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:20.480
don't value you. You're better off on your own. You
109
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.279
don't need them to follow God, and we buy it.
110
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:32.080
We spiritualize isolation, and we start saying things like I'm
111
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.919
just in the season of being alone with God right now.
112
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.000
I don't need a building. I am the church cool.
113
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.080
So is your left arm. But if you cut it
114
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:43.000
off and leave it in the forest, it's not going
115
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:49.480
to do so hot. Isolation kills faith slowly. It strips
116
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:58.799
away accountability, encouragement, sharpening, correction, all the things that community
117
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:04.480
was designed to provide. In the enemy, he thrives in silence.
118
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:09.000
When the wolf separates the sheep from the flock. He
119
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.600
doesn't need he doesn't have to run. He just waits
120
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.840
for the blood to cool. Here's the part we don't like.
121
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.240
Sometimes the people who hurt us didn't even know they did.
122
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:27.399
Sometimes they're just clumsy, distracted, dealing with their own junk.
123
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.960
But a fence doesn't wait for context. It just infects.
124
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:39.519
Jesus didn't say if you're offended, he said when Matthew eighteen,
125
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:47.519
he gave us the blueprint, go to the person, talk forgive, restore, rinse,
126
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.759
and repeat. Because the church isn't just a hospital, it's
127
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:58.679
a battlefield. And sometimes friendly fire happens, and so what
128
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.120
do you do when you're wounded? You bring it into
129
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.960
the light. You forgive even if they don't ask for it.
130
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.440
You lean back into the body, even if it's bruised.
131
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.960
Not because people deserve it, but because Christ did the
132
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:23.320
same for you. The enemy wants you isolated, offended, and
133
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:28.000
quietly rotting on the sidelines. Jesus wants you healed, restored,
134
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.559
and back in formation. So check your heart. Name the hurt,
135
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:40.639
then choose to be bigger than it. Because unity isn't spiritual,
136
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:49.120
it's strategic. Section three. Death by distraction. How busyness and
137
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:54.759
comfort numb the soul. If Hell was a marketing department,
138
00:11:55.559 --> 00:12:03.080
they're not selling pitchforks and demons anymore. They're selling notifications. Buzz, swipe, scroll, consume.
139
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.200
Now do it again, but faster this time. If you
140
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.799
were the enemy and you wanted to keep Christians from praying,
141
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:17.840
from fasting, from studying the Word, from sitting quietly in
142
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.960
the presence of God, you wouldn't have to threaten them.
143
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:27.440
You just need to keep them busy. That's the genesis
144
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.879
of modern warfare. You don't have to persecute the church
145
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.120
if you can pacify it. Give people the illusion of connection.
146
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.600
Let them double tap Bible memes on Instagram instead of
147
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.440
actually reading the book. Let them listen to five minute
148
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.080
devotionals while folding laundry instead of opening the word like
149
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.279
it's a weapon. Convince them that doing things for God
150
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:57.759
counts as intimacy with him. Let me ask you something,
151
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:04.799
when was the last time you sat with silence? No phone,
152
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:13.399
no background music, no podcast, just you and the Holy Spirit? Exactly.
153
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:21.120
We've made distractional lifestyle and comfort a doctrine, and that's
154
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:25.879
exactly what the enemy wants. Because when you're overstimulated, you
155
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.600
stop feeling. When you're constantly entertained, you stop hearing. When
156
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.399
your soul gets addicted to noise, the still small voice
157
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:40.840
of God starts sounding like an interruption. The early church
158
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:46.679
didn't have twitter. They had prayer. They had prayer closets
159
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:52.279
and upper rooms. We've got red bulls and playlists. And
160
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:57.159
don't get me wrong, I'm not against technology. I'm using
161
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.440
it right now to talk to you guys. I've got
162
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:05.240
to start asking is this tool serving my faith or
163
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:10.639
is it sedating it? Now? Let's talk about comfort. That's
164
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:15.120
silent killer in Khakis. The modern Western church has somehow
165
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:19.360
decided that comfort is evidence of God's favor. But read
166
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:24.240
the Bible. It's mostly people in distress, under fire, in exile,
167
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.639
under arrest, or flat out murdered. Jesus didn't promise air
168
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:35.320
conditioning and church coffee bars. He promised across. Comfort makes
169
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:40.480
cowards out of disciples. It teaches you to avoid the uncomfortable,
170
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.039
don't confront that sin, don't pray in public, don't rock
171
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:52.320
the boat with truth, and so we stay safe. We
172
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:57.120
stay seated, and the fire slowly goes out. Let me
173
00:14:57.200 --> 00:15:00.080
hit you with the hard truth. If the enemy ca
174
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:05.480
can't make you evil, he'll make you comfortable. And if
175
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.240
he can't tempt you with sin, he'll just lull you
176
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:14.720
into sleep. You'll still wear the T shirt, still post
177
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:20.559
the verse, but the power gone, the urgency missing, the
178
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:28.159
spirit grieved and ignored. So what's the fix? Start cutting
179
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:34.000
the noise, wake up and fight the drift. Create space
180
00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:36.919
in your life where the only thing happening is God
181
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.519
showing up, even if it's five minutes a day. You
182
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.320
got to start somewhere, because the devil isn't afraid of
183
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:55.279
busy Christians. He's afraid of burning ones. Section four. You
184
00:15:55.399 --> 00:16:02.840
take out the shepherds. When leadership falls, sheep scatter. You
185
00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.360
want to bring down a movement. You don't chase the crowd,
186
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:12.480
you go after the leader. The enemy's not stupid, he's strategic.
187
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.279
He knows that when a shepherd falls, a whole flock
188
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.279
can lose their way. And if you can take out
189
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:25.039
the voice people trust, the rest become a whole lot
190
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.720
easier to scatter, confuse, or devour. Let's not sugarcoat it.
191
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:35.320
We've seen it happen again and again. Pastors with secret lives,
192
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:42.639
megachurch leaders imploding and scandal, charismatic influencers selling snake oil
193
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.879
in Jesus' name, the headlines practically right themselves, and while
194
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:52.879
the media grins and clicks rack up, there's a deeper
195
00:16:53.000 --> 00:17:02.080
wound happening behind the scenes, Believers questioning everything. If he
196
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:06.160
was a fraud, what's his message fake? If she fell
197
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.960
into that sin, what hope is there for me? If
198
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.960
God was really real, how did this happen? It's the
199
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.839
domino effective doubt. That's exactly what the enemy wants. Now Listen,
200
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.160
I'm not here to bash spiritual leaders. Most of them
201
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:29.839
out there are grinding into obscurity, loving people, preaching truth
202
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.079
and carrying more weight than we'll ever know. But those
203
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.200
are the ones the enemy really wants, not the wolves,
204
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.200
the real shepherds, because the higher you climb in leadership,
205
00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:47.759
the lonelier it gets. The more influence you carry, the
206
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.799
bigger the target on your back. And if that leader
207
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:57.319
isn't grounded, if they're not surrounded by accountability, saturated in
208
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:01.480
prayer and submitted to God, the enemy just has to
209
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:11.319
wait because pride pressure isolation than BAM crisis. But here's
210
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.480
the next layer of the attack. Once the leader falls,
211
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.160
the enemy doesn't just ruin them, he broadcasts it. He
212
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:25.480
wants you to think every pastor is a hypocrite, every
213
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.559
church is corrupt, every sermon is self serving. He wants
214
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.359
the failure of one person to become the excuse for
215
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:40.880
the spiritual disengagement of one hundred. It's classical psychological warfare,
216
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:46.599
and it's working. There's a whole generation out there raised
217
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:50.680
in the church now walking away, not because they stopped
218
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:54.640
believing in God, but because they saw people they trusted
219
00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:01.559
collapse and no one helped them process the fall. But
220
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.920
let me say this, plain and raw. Your faith is
221
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:12.680
in Christ, not in a man with a microphone. It's
222
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.720
kind of ironic, isn't it. Yes, we should honor the trust,
223
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.240
honor and trust spiritual leaders, but they are not your savior.
224
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:31.240
They are human. They're flawed, frail, capable of failure, horrendously
225
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:37.559
glorious failure. And if they fall, mourn it, but don't
226
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:44.119
let it unravel your calling. So what's the defense for leaders?
227
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:54.079
It's real accountability, deep repentance and transparency before platform. For
228
00:19:54.200 --> 00:20:01.279
the church, maturity, discernment and the ability to grieve failure
229
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:07.400
without abandoning truth. And for the enemy, a reminder. You
230
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:12.119
can strike a shepherd, but you can't kill the church
231
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:17.319
because we don't follow men. We follow the King, and
232
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:23.799
he already crushed your head on the cross section five
233
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:32.400
doubt dressed his wisdom the deconstruction agenda. So let me
234
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:37.559
start by saying this, asking questions isn't the problem. God
235
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:40.799
is not afraid of your doubt. He's not shaken by
236
00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:47.160
your wise or your wrestlings. But here's the thing. Doubt
237
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:54.079
has destination. It's either drives you to toward truth or
238
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:58.759
it drives you away from it. And lately a whole
239
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:03.559
momentum has sprung up around the idea of deconstruction, and
