The Bible says put on the whole armor of God we wrestle not against flesh and blood. It is also vital because you can't serve two masters and many people get caught up in this doing exactly that. When they think of Jesus Christ and we're talking about the one described in the Bible the Hebrew from Israel that went to a synagogue and preached in the outdoors they attribute things to him that he did not do and would not approve of. Many are going to be told he doesn't know them on Judgment Day as it appears people are pleading for their soul. Are you sure you won't be amongst one of them?
There's an ongoing war for your soul
So all these images are here for a reason. First of all new years is coming up tomorrow and we will be in to 2024 and this is the tradition of men just like birthdays would be. Although by a birthday we can/do celebrate people getting older like a child and people find it fun and giving some attention in respecting another person's time/growth on Earth . The war on Christmas came up but people don't know that some Christians don't keep that as they might have but for certain reasons they don't. Some Christian evangelist preach that Santa's false. Lying to your children is not a good thing because God tells us all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. Christ never lied. People honor Christ with their lips and give him lip service. There's no fooling him he knows remember when they came across the water to find him and he said they came to find him because they knew he fed the multitude prior. Some people are not interested in following Christ for the right reasons.
You see the Bible says the devil deceives the entire world. He is the god of this world. Revelation 12:9 A couple of stories I can tell you one when I became a true believer as some will tell you that's when their problems really started once years back I had tempting at this one place and some guy started talking about devil worshiping on break and I realized this wasn't good and walked away and then he said some horrendous profanity words things out loud as he realized so they know. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Evil principalities linger. We want to make sure we don't go beyond what's in scripture. I don't think it's hidden anymore that Christianity has been drastically changed and some people say you should deconstruct your Christianity. As far as new years when I was younger I went out with friends for this and it wasn't evil or nothing like that it was fun times. One time when it was my girlfriend from back then to celebrate it. Being a believer I don't do that anymore. You know we're starting a new year and that's interesting but at the same time nothing changes under the sun still people are headed for the fires of hell that don't know about Christ or people that are falling away or people that are deceived thinking they're going to heaven but by the wrong means. They such people don't see the trees for the forest.
There's a war for your soul and there's a way that appears right in the end it is the way of death. It's deception it's not the real way and there's a price for following what's false. Revelation 18:4 KJV Revelation 18:5 KJV Ephesians 5:7-21 KJV Following what's false then dying in your sins thinking your sins were/are wiped out but having a different messiah, gospel, spirit and dictrine quite removed from scripture is not advisable at all. John 10:10 our lord Jesus Christ said if anybody tries to climb in some other way they're nothing but a thief and a robber and he's already warned people how many people are going to plead with him because of good works. What were they really doing in life? Were they truly following him or did they just know about him and thought they were of him but they weren't. Many people have lip service and their religious and have no relationship and no understanding just head knowledge. There's a real devil in this life and God cannot lie he has his own kingdom and he opposes the true God and we know his attributes by reading scripture because his depths are extremely deep and he hates God. He hates true Christians and he deceives people. Are you one of his victims?
