“The way of the wicked is like darkness;
They do not know what makes them stumble...
My son, give attention to my words...
Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart...
Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life".
Proverbs 4:19-23
There are many reasons POCKETGODS should be considered far more dangerous than previous idols produced by slaves of Satan.
1 John 2:15-17: "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever".
POCKETGODS ARE ENSLAVING PEOPLE.
- 97% of church-going men have viewed pornography
- 64% of church-going men view porn at least once a month
- 37% of church-going men look at porn several times a week
- 1 in 5 youth pastors and 1 in 7 senior pastors use porn on a regular basis and are currently struggling. That’s more than 50,000 U.S. church leaders.
- 43% of senior pastors and youth pastors say they have struggled with pornography in the past.
Ministers that are supposed to be helping the lost "open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith" (acts 26:18) are ADDICTED to POCKETGODS.
1) The POCKETGOD offers pornography 24/7 so Satan's can enslave and destroy.
2) The most destructive enticements to lust of the flesh ever produced by slaves of Satan are available 24/7 on the POCKETGOD.
3)
The most destructive enticements to lust of the eyes ever produced by slaves of Satan are available 24/7 on the POCKETGOD.
4)
The most destructive enticements to pride of life ever produced by slaves of Satan are available 24/7 on the POCKETGOD.
Just a few years ago, video pornography was available only in selected outlets. Today, any child can view the most hard core video pornography from the most depraved pedaphiles 24/7 on the internet.
Internet pornography is as addictive as cocaine. The endorphins and epinephrine produced by the body when viewing pornography make viewing pornography addictive. Men who go to church are addicted to viewing internet pornography at the same rate as men that do not go to church. That addiction rate is shocking:
In 2015, a Barna study revealed that real Christians (people God has been changed supernaturally by regeneration, not just people that go to church) are MUCH less likely to use internet pornography. So the lesson for church-goers who are addicted to internet pornography is, YOU PROBABLY ARE NOT A REAL CHRISTIAN. You need to seek God for Him to change you by supernatural regeneration and seek Biblical counselling from a minister that's not addicted.
It's also obvious there a many men in ministry that are not real Christians:
Romans 12:1-2: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God".
How can you possibly know the will of God for you if you voluntarily conform to the world? The Smart Phone is a Satanic substitute for the Paraclete, a idol that uses images and sound to substitute for the Holy Spirit.
This is not the first time that the people of God could not see their idolatry. Probably David did not recognize his household idols as offensive to God. Movies were used by Satan for generations to conform people to the world...TV is 10 times more effective to conform people to the world...the internet is 100 times more effective to conform people to the world...the Smart Phone, as the substitute paraclete, is 1000 times more effective in conforming people to the world.
The Pocketgod could have been described by Solomon in Ecclesiastes 2:1-11: "I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure...I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh...to lay hold on folly...the delights of the sons of men...Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them...I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure...all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun".
The Pocketgod is more amazing that Alladin's all-seeing eye. The Pocketgod is more tantalizing than King Solomon's harem. The Pocketgod has more temples of idols than all the temples Solomon built for his heathen wives.
Job 31:1-12: "have made a covenant with my eyes;
Why then should I look upon a young woman?
For what is the allotment of God from above,
And the inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
Is it not destruction for the wicked,
And disaster for the workers of iniquity? Does He not see my ways,
And count all my steps? "If I have walked with falsehood, Or if my foot has hastened to deceit, Let me be weighed on honest scales,
That God may know my integrity. If my step has turned from the way,
Or my heart walked after my eyes,
Or if any spot adheres to my hands,
Then let me sow, and another eat; Yes, let my harvest be rooted out. "If my heart has been enticed by a woman...that would be wickedness;
Yes, it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.
For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction,
And would root out all my increase".
Psalms 53:1-4: "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
There is none who does good. God looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. Every one of them has turned aside;
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call upon God?"
Psalms 64:1-6: "Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
And bend their bows to shoot their arrows — bitter words, That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
They say, "Who will see them?" They devise iniquities: "We have perfected a shrewd scheme."
