Culture: Generation Z's Doctrines of Demons.

Part 3: A branding iron works to burn away Truth. Like searing flesh, Truth is temporarily overpowered once hit with Satan’s branding.

I Timothy 4:1-2: “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons.” 

Yes, demons have a bible.  “Bible” does not mean holy.  “Bible” is a set of doctrines, and demons have a set rule of doctrines, and it takes demonic spirits to bring those BELIEFS into a culture. 

Paul, his mentor, is telling Timothy life-preserving doctrines. He warns his spiritual son of the danger of paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons utilizing the hypocrisy of liars seared in the listener's conscience by a branding iron. 

A branding iron works to burn away Truth. Like searing flesh, Truth is temporarily overpowered once hit with Satan’s branding. Branding can stop the life flow of Truth once demonic doctrines are believed.  When parents, teachers, or ministers attempt to deal with a GenZer with a seared conscience, it is a confession that deceptive spirits and demonic doctrines have hardened their hearts for an extended period.

Statistics tell us Generation Z is falling away from the faith of Christ and renouncing the real Jesus by the droves. The closer we get to the final hours of the End Times, there will be millions who fall away from the authentic indwelling life of Christ because of Satan searing their conscience.

The day is gone when elders of the Word can use passages in the Word to deliver conviction to the youth. While there are cases of the Word changing young people, the youth’s populous is bored by hearing words spoken within the Holy Bible. In this, we find evidence of Paul’s words to Timothy.  

Why is it that demonic doctrines appear more successful than God’s Word?

Not to insult anyone's intelligence, but demonic doctrines are always more successful than doctrines of the Bible in unsaved, degenerate, and depraved-seared minds. If in doubt, read the relentless stories in the Bible regarding God’s people choosing depravity. A seared mind cannot embrace Truth. It is impossible! Outside of a miracle from God, through Jesus, a seared mind is doomed and will continue to populate demonic doctrines until they find themselves in the pit of Hell – the epicenter of Satan’s “bible.” A hideous conclusion remains – God turns this generation over to a depraved mind.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. (Romans 1:20-24)

The sobering reality, most GenZers start out believing in God and self-claiming to know ABOUT Him (Rom. 1:19). Most seared conscience Zers have had the Gospel preached to them (Rom. 1:9). But yet their minds demand to live by sight instead of by faith. When this happens, the human mind professes to be wise while it is foolish. They swap out the glory of God for images they can see with their eyes. Then, and only then, the mind does what it does best, worships a graven image – what it sees. This image is empowered by the person’s lusts & impure thoughts. The results? Their bodies become dishonorable to God. When this becomes a daily ritual, God, by HIS choice, turns them over to demonic doctrines. Seconds later, sexual confusion dominates their beliefs.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

(Romans 1:26-27)

Folks, this is the Biblical evidence of why Generation Z is obsessed with gender identification, homosexuality, lesbianism, and bisexual ideations. Why? Because God turned them over to a depraved mind – a mind functioning by demonic doctrines.

How ugly is this?

Overall, according to surveys, Generation Z loves lies. As a result, most Zers will not be moved by Truth. The fact is that demons will present their doctrines more kindly & accepting than the one who is evangelizing them WITH the Truth. That is an ugly fact. For every Truth you decide to present, a demon is waiting to steal the Truth you offered to the Zer.  How will you know? You will notice the common sign, as in seeing the deadness in their eyes and their lack of motivation to explore the Truth of the Gospel. As a reminder, this is NOT all GenZers; only those God turned over to a seared mind.

ACTION

Authentic love, love being released by the Holy Spirit, always wins. You and I might not win their souls for Heaven, but without question, we can win them to the Grace of Christ that might revisit them down the road. God is love is like a healing balm, oil, applied to a wound that is festering and infected. In due time, that wound begins a healing process. However, as in real life, sometimes that flesh needs to be cut off for fresh growth. Love is the healing balm for all indwelt believers to use for the setup for authentic conversions.

When they sit at your table or converse with you in public, never refrain from speaking the Truth regarding differing opinions. Don’t shove it down their throats; rather, rub it into the conversation with the gentleness of love. On those occasions that you need to be more assertive, don’t hesitate – blow their lies away with the immovable Truth of the Word WITHOUT condemnation. I call it, using the “Fire Blade.”  

The Word of God is not only sharper than a two-edged sword, folks; it is on fire. The only way to remove seared flesh is to cut it off. You might discover what I have. Fresh growth of new tissue will surface if you are brave enough to stay engaged while the Lord conducts surgery on this depraved generation.

Consider watching “Fire Blad.” A short production - revealing this concept.
