The Blind Leading the Blind :: By Candy Austin

Matthew 15:14 “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”

With all of the things happening in the world right now, it is not surprising to see that many who are spiritually blind are being led by the same. They think they know so many things, but in reality, they do not know or understand much at all. Those without spiritual discernment are falling for the ‘bold-faced lies’ that are being told from all sides, be it political movements, misleading causes, and various sources that are steeped in ‘nefarious and satanic agendas’ which are continuously being pushed upon our society, culture, and world daily, if not hourly!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; therefore, those who do not fear the Lord are prone to ‘pay homage’ to these Marxist agendas. All of this is done by ignorance that comes from years of indoctrination from anti-God sources such as Disney, Hollywood, the Music Industry, Television, Movies, Education, and the ‘lamestream’ Media.

The young people who have been perpetrating most of the rioting, looting, and violence this past year seem to be mainly Millennials; sad but true. These come out of years of ‘brainwashing and indoctrination’ from the shameless ‘explosion of witchcraft’ that was foisted upon their generation as kids via cartoons and various child entertainment platforms all throughout the 80s, 90s, and beyond.

It is no wonder that our youth nowadays are ‘Godless’ and void of discernment and wisdom. Look at where they came from, such as their ‘dumbed down’ Education system, for starters. Even if some came from Christian households, with what of our ‘watered-down American Christianity’ that celebrates pagan holidays in the home and even within the churches, and who partake in worldly and secular entertainment, it should not surprise us.

Many churches and Christian homes fail to teach the concept of ‘Holiness,’ which means to live a ‘holy life.’ The way to live a holy life is to ‘come out of and be separate’ from the world and its ways. Since most Christians look, act, talk, and live just like the world, we should not be shocked that our kids do the same. When the lines are blurred, what do we expect?

In order for our kids not to be confused, there should be a ‘clear distinction’ of what is Holy and what is unholy. Lewdness, crudeness, vulgarity, crass speech, and ‘rebellious tendencies’ should not be tolerated. When we are born again, we become a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things become new. Therefore, our old habits and ways of life in this world will change; we will no longer want to please ‘self’ but instead we will want to please God. Our kids need to know and see the difference.

Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

In recent weeks and months, I have been on a mission to ‘purge’ things from our lives. Thanks to listening to Pastor Billy Crone’s YouTube Video Series on Witchcraft and doing research concerning witchcraft/wiccan symbols, I was surprised!  I had no idea how many stars, pentagrams, arrows, signs, symbols, and the like that we had in, on, and around our house!

I was mortified at all the years of accumulation of these symbols we had acquired and wondered if we too were of the ‘blind sheeple’ bringing curses into our homes/lives and onto ourselves by being so ignorant, duped into thinking that these things were ‘acceptable’ because our culture deems them as ‘western or cool’ for home decor. Needless to say, the Christian objects from the ‘Christian stores’ were the worst! We had so many crosses with ‘various weird edges’ in our house that we were clueless to their ties to paganism!

I even had conviction concerning our photographs and pictures. Over the years, we had accumulated photos of things that I know were not pleasing to our Lord. Photos of tattoos, our celebrating of pagan holidays (I have come to literally hate most holidays and traditions of men by now), photos of our kids’ artwork which often happened to be occultic in nature; and what is worse is that, throughout the years, we did not even realize or recognize those symbols as such.

Just by purging these items from our home week after week not only lifted some ‘proverbial weight’ off my chest, but by doing so, it made our home feel better in every way possible too. I literally can sleep better now that these pagan objects and symbols are out of our lives.

Praying to God by confessing, rebuking, renouncing, and rejecting all these ties in Jesus Name to the things pertaining to witchcraft/occultism is important in breaking their stronghold.

Our watered-down Americanized Christianity has so many of us lulled into a ‘stupor and slumber’ about these satanic symbols that we were ignorantly accepting them and bringing them into our children’s lives and homes! I literally loathe the star symbol now; it feels like the scales have fallen from my eyes! Where once I saw dimly, now I see clearly, and literally can see them just by driving down the road on nearly every business, most logos, and pretty much everywhere we look; and it has been seriously eye opening to say the least!

Recently, we went back to our old Baptist Church that we had attended a few years ago, and it has been refreshing to hear some of the members talk about their realizing that we are in the Last Days now. If this ‘Plandemic’ did anything, it helped to wake people up from their ‘blindness and slumber’ to the fact that Jesus is truly coming soon, and for that I am grateful!

As that day draws near, we should be shining brighter and brighter by removing the weight that so easily besets us. Whether that weight be material, physical, spiritual, emotional, whatever. We should be casting it from us and preparing ourselves to meet our Lord in the air very soon!

Proverbs 4:18 “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

Philippians 2:15 “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.”

Matthew 5:14 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”

Until next time… Maranatha!

JESUS = THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE

Jesus Will Come!
