last night's Grammys they as Smith now prefers to be called identified as Satan Katy Perry performs Dark Horse at the Grammys blood sneakers Lil Nas X's collaboration with our Collective Mischief the 666 pair of sneakers feature gold pentagrams inverted crosses as well as human blood inside the soul as American pop culture continues to circle the dream we're seeing rampant sin glorified in popular music everything from murder theft adultery homosexuality pornography gender confusion actually things are so bad in the music industry even Satan is comfortable enough to come out of his closet from things like Lil
NASDAQ Satan shoes Katy Perry's witches coven performance guys the devil is on the loose now satanic breakouts happen in many places in the American Music Industry including at the most popular award show in the industry the Grammys some have dubbed this performance as a satanic worship service on Prime Time live broadcast television and guys rumors of Satanism in the music industry are are decades old for example in the 1930s guitarist Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil according to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Legend has it that Robert Johnson met the
devil at a Crossroads and gave him his soul in exchange for Mastery of the guitar which is my mind not a good deal steeped in mystery killed mysteriously his Legend eclipsed only by his skill Robert Johnson may be the first ever rock star and it didn't end in the 30s in 2004 60 Minutes interviewed legendary rocker Bob Dylan and here is Bob Dylan in his own words why do you still do it why are you still out here well it goes back to the destiny thing and I made a bargain with it you know a
long time ago and I'm holding up my hand what was your bargain to get where I am now should I ask who you made the bargain with with you know with the chief chief commander on this Earth and this Earth and then in the world we can't see and in more recent years pop star Katy Perry apparently joined Satan's Club so to speak or some would say at least according to an early interview Katy Perry did something similar to Dylan and Johnson and here's Katy Perry in her own words that's how I got introduced to
the music Industries through gospel music I swear I wanted to be like the Amy Grant of music yeah but it didn't work out and so I sold my soul to the devil and bearmont as we reference these people and their quotes and show you their words maybe they mean those words literally maybe metaphorically but the point is they're making the statements and it seems to lend itself toward that certain ideology related to Satanism so as we can see Satanism has been infiltrating the music industry for decades but what exactly is it what is Satanism well
there are two broad definitions first there is the Essex Satanism which is that's those people who believe Satan is real and is worthy of worship that he should be one worship instead of God and there are others who don't believe in Satan they're called atheistic satanists they don't think he's a real person but they believe the idea of Satan the idea of rebelling against Authority the idea of you being your own God you living your own life for your own glory for your own good as you see fit they think that's good and worthy to
be celebrated so either way they both had the same ideology that you should be your own God now of course the TSX Satanist says you should worship Satan but still you're still determining truth for yourself you're living in according to your own feelings and your own rules same Ideology Now for a good example of atheistic Satanism look no further than Swedish singer Tobias Ford check this out the devil for me represents rock and roll film Freedom humor essentially my life my background because it's so colored with so many Blasphemous Expressions but I think that that's
that's one of the most common misconceptions or you know that makes it so hard for people to Fathom that you know there's obviously the biblical devil and then you have the sub the the pop cultural devil the pop cultural devil being very much sedative of freedom and intellectualism and Liberation so what's causing this rise of Satanism and pop music well a couple of things number one many people from multiple Generations have believed lies about Satan like for example that Satan is more powerful than God maybe on par but some would say more powerful as an
example of someone's embraced this faulty thinking this lie here's a clip from Billy eilish from the song All the Good Girls Go To Hell while misgendering God to be female eilish saying she'll want the devil to be on her team she'll be in God won't the devil be on her team why because the devil is so powerful all the good girls [Music] once the water starts to rise [Music] she's basically saying the devil's so powerful God will want Satan on his team really biblical speaking Satan is not more powerful than God Satan is a created
being in scripture Satan can't even touch Joe's stuff without asking God first for permission that's how far Satan is below the god of the universe it's not even close to consider Satan more powerful than God is a direct rejection of biblical Authority and it goes back to a lie the lie that says Satan is more powerful than God that is a satanic lie god reigns not the devil and really the second big lie being embraced here Satanism is really systematized selfishness sadism says you can be your own God the Bible says no you are made
in God's image you're his creation accountable to him I someone identify him a cultist Alistair Crowley said do what thy Wilt shall be the whole of the law do what you want it's your Law whatever makes you happy your truth is you follow your heart if you will God says fear God keep his Commandments he's God or not neither is the devil and as American culture becomes more secularized it becomes more selfish and don't we see that in Satanism systematized selfishness where each of us becomes the center of our own Universe totally antithetical to the
biblical worldview and bottom line people are never meant to be Gods you're a terrible God to yourself or anyone else we were created to be in Humble loving relationship with our creator with God through Jesus Christ and there's really nothing new here it's just another old lie ultimately I mean where have we heard this before we'll go back to Genesis 3 Satan in the form of a serpent he lied to Eve about what would happen when she ate the forbidden fruit the devil said to you for God knows that when you eat of it your
eyes will be open you'll be like God knowing good and evil which is a direct Lie by the way because their eyes are open in a particular way but not like God they've been broken by sin nothing like God in reality but in the same way Satan lies to people musicians and anyone who wants to listen to him so how do we combat the lies of the devil through Jesus the Bible tells us in Hebrews 2 14 Christ came that he might destroy the one who has the power of death that is the devil the
solution to satanic deception is the good news of Jesus guys the gospel frees those under the sway of Satan in the music industry and those influenced by Satan inspired musicians the gospel alone breaks the power of satanic hold and then as we look at Jesus in the wilderness he's being tempted by the devil how does he respond to each Temptation by the devil using the word of God and so as Christians we stand on God's word to fight against and rebuke those Temptations to stand firm on his foundation that it is word in his truth
to live lives that bring honor and glory to him but through him his word his gospel so given the rise of satanic pop music if you will what should we do well first let's listen to God honoring music music that has lyrics that are true to scripture we as Christians should honor the Lord with the music that we listen to and the music doesn't have to be a contemporary Christian music so to speak but it should be from artists who promoting biblical truth not satanic ideas and then also we should be equipping ourselves and our
children to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ to teach them biblical truth to be deeped in the word of God and biblical truth so much so that when we hear lies that come from the devil we know that they are lies he can rightly identify them as such and combat those lives with the truth that is God's word and that happens by knowing what you believe and why rooted in scripture again taking every thought captured to make it obedient to Christ so then we can contend earnestly for the faith and so
whether it's what we're listening or what we're watching we're paying close attention to the ideas are coming at us and then we're refuting the satanic ones with the truth of God's word so be sure we're doing that for ourselves and our children we read in Philippians 4 verses 8 9 finally Brothers whatever is true whatever is Honorable whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is commendable if there's any Excellence if there's anything worthy of Praise think about these things and the God of Peace will be with you and so if you're looking
for some really good god-ring music The Ark encounter has a resident artist called True song they're doing a fantastic job they just released their first CD called foundations check that out it's got honoring you'll be encouraged edified and it's good listening and lastly guys let's be aware of what our children and our grandchildren are listening to are we protecting our kids from really satanic music whether it's atheistic or it's theistic are you influencing your kids and your grandkids and what media they consume this would be a good video to share with them to equip them
to be aware of the influence of the satanic thinking in the music industry and also think more broadly about the satanic influence and other Industries as well like music and videos and so forth and so on let's be prepared in God's word to stand and give a defense and so if you want more on this sort of thinking and information check out this video right here on little demon until next time keep standing in God's word defending the faith proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ
