Who doesn’t know we’re living through the End Times?

That’s it crazy out there … really crazy … and getting crazier by the day.

But there seems to be a YUUUUUUUGE misunderstanding, especially throughout many of the Christian communities.

That misunderstanding is about who’s really behind all the chaos and confusion and conflict.

Talk to your average God-fearing and faithful Christian and they’ll tell you Satan’s in charge.

On the surface, that might seem to be the case.

However, there’s only one power ever in charge.

That power is the Supreme Being—God Almighty.

Remember, Satan is merely the “Prince of Darkness”.  As well as the “Father of lies”.

In both capacities Satan rules nothing. He rules no one except when given the power to do so by GOD.

In point of fact, Satan can influence us.  He can try to CONvince us.  He can make our lives miserable in so many ways as he often does.  But how we respond to his nefarious plots and evil doings is entirely up to us.

Think of it this way. The Book of Job really tell us what’s going on today.

Satan goes to God to ask to test Job.  God finally relents and tell Satan to give it his best shot.

Satan is only sent by GOD to test his faithful servant Job.

After all, it was GOD who put the idea of testing Job into Satan’s head in the first place.

Now fast forward to 2021.

Today, we are all Job.

Every one of us is getting tested by the satanic forces swirling around the planet.

Each of us is getting tested like never before, yes?!

The key test has to do with our fears—individual fears and collective fears.

Because the human condition is defined by fear, the Covid era in unfolding to confront each and every one of us with our greatest fears.

In this way, we are being given countless opportunities to break through those fears.

Our Father in Heaven wants us all to escape from human bondage.  The stuff of human bondage is essentially fear and anxiety, particularly during the Third Millennium.

Only by facing these fears and trepidations head on can we successfully move through them.

Then, and only then, will we experience what is our birthright—our much more authentic divinity—our divine Higher Self.

Perhaps the best way forward, then, is to acknowledge that Satan is only doing GOD’s bidding.  For Satan only exists by the power of the Almighty.

Likewise, ole Satan cannot take even a single step to the right or to the left without them being preordained by the will of GOD.  Satan only exists by the thought creation of GOD.

It should be obvious by now that GOD, and only GOD, is fully in charge of planet Earth today, regardless of how godless and decadent things have gotten.

GOD has put Satan at the helm of the Covid era craziness and chaos for good reason.  Remember, “all things work together for good to them that love God”.

While Satan is doing a bang up job of fearmongering like there’s no tomorrow, he’s only doing his job.  In this way, everyone is given a chance to break through their lifelong and/or latent recent fears.

Let’s face it: If you were GOD and you wanted to free humanity from the prison cell of fears that incarcerates nearly every soul, what better way than the scary Covid pandemic (Yes, it’s a staged hoax).  Or, the harmful Covid vaccine mandates (Yes, they’re even more dangerous than already proven to be).

Now, with this refined understanding, all of us can move forward with faith and conviction, with ease and with peace of mind.  For we know that nothing happens here on Earth except by the will of GOD.

So what’s to worry about.  Regardless of the fates or fortunes or our families and friends, we can rest assured that everything happens for the best.  Even more than that:

I. Everything has its very own perfection – our place, our time, our hearth and home, our relationships, our jobs and financial affairs, our health and state of mind/emotions … even our busy schedules and competing demands – it’s all perfect even in the seeming chaos and relentless flux around us.

II. Everything – repeat, EVERYTHING – happens for the best … everywhere, all the time, without exception.

III. Therefore – Don’t Worry, Be Happy! – as there is nothing that can possibly go wrong.

In closing this sermon, always remember and never forget that:
