BE CAREFUL OF SATAN WHEN HE'S SWEET AND POLITE

The devil is out to seduce us, and he comes into our lives “so sweetly and politely” to take possession of our attitudes, Pope Francis warned. The pope said this during the homily of one of the morning masses he officiated at the Casa Santa Marta.

Drawing from the Gospel reading of the day which was about the unclean spirit who goes out of a person but then decides to return, and brings with him seven other spirits “more wicked than itself.” Vatican Radio reported Pope Francis’ emphasis that the passage reflects how demons enter quietly, progressively becoming more and more part of a person’s life. The devil slowly changes our attitudes, camouflaging himself to lead us to what’s
called worldliness, Francis explained. This attitude brings us to look at things in ways contrary to the spirit of the Gospel.


When the devil enters “so sweetly, politely and takes possession of our attitudes,” the pope said, our values pass from the service of God to worldliness. Thus we become “lukewarm Christians, worldly Christians.” Francis described this as being like a fruit salad — a bit of the spirit of the world and a bit of God’s spirit.


PREVENTION
Nevertheless, the Holy Father also said there is a method for preventing this progressive progression of the devil’s seduction:

"stopping for a while to examine my life, whether I am a Christian, whether I educate my children, whether my life is Christian or worldly"


The daily examination of conscience is one of the spiritual practices most promoted by the Society of Jesus, the religious order to which the pope belongs. It involves taking a few minutes at the end of the day to look over one’s day — to see the graces that God offered, and to thank him for them, and to see the moments when we refused his grace and chose to act in a way contrary to the Gospel. The examine concludes with a specific resolution to work on the next day.


The pope suggested that this examen can be done while looking at Christ crucified, saying that the crucifix saves us from the charms and seductions that lead us to worldliness.

The examination of conscience, the pope said, is done always before Christ crucified, with prayer, after which one has to break loose from one’s comfortable attitudes, through works of charity, visiting the sick, helping someone in need and so on. This breaks up the spiritual worldliness that the band of demons tries to create in us, the pope said.

That sweet-talking "pope" also happens to be the leader of the primary "beast" church of Bible prophecy.

To those who don't really read or know God's Word, the "pope" might say some seemingly good things; but be warned: he will also mix in a lot of poison.

His church is the one which thinks it can change God's Sabbath Day to whatever it wants, while trying to stand in God's Place, pretending the "pope" is God's and Jesus' substitute on Earth, all because of their selfish desire to "have the say" (man-based "power", instead of wanting God to have the Say (Godly Power).

God does forgive true ignorance, but willful ignorance in this regard is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, which God does not forgive.

Therefore, if you find yourself being told to bow or pay reverence to a statue, carving, engraved image, or such; or to worship or pray to an Angel; or to worship or pray to a person (other than Jesus) - no matter who, or whether dead or alive; or to keep Sunday Holy instead of the Seventh Day (the Bible Sabbath, Friday evening through Saturday evening); or to call a "religious leader" by a title such as "father" or "reverend"; or to confess your sins to a "religious leader" who believes they stand in God's Place to declare your sins forgiven; or to do any of the other abominations that men have made up in an attempt to replace God; then please pray to God for His Holy Spirit to bring you the Truth through Jesus Christ. This is said that you may be Saved, by having a right heart toward God and His Word, by not accepting any of the Satan-induced substitutes of man, no matter what else they speak. Any good that Satan's own seem to speak is said only to disarm the listener, so that they will also accept their poison.

Satan... a sweet-talker indeed. Supposed love that tries to discard Truth is not True Love at all.
