What does the power of the devil do? It makes men and women dangerous. Paul began to tell Timothy in 2 Timothy 3:2, "For men will be lovers of themselves." If your selfishness you think begins and ends with you, you're wrong. If you're outside of Christ, you're capable of a selfishness that is literally supernatural. We are watching people say and do things we never thought Americans would ever say. We are watching them get up and boast, stand there in the most completely perverse extremes. And they say "This is me; this is who I am." I'm going to tell you; the devil told you that.

You are not that, that's not where you were born. You were born to have peace. You were born to have innocence. You were born to be loved and to love somebody. And this nightmare that you're living, this obsession that you're following, you're following it by outside power that has lied to you. He said men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money. In America, we have corporations that have told women, "We will pay for your abortion." They come off as if this is some human nobility that a massive corporation will stand there and say if you need to go to another state, we'll pay for it. You think it's because they believe in abortion or women's rights. It's because it's better for them to send you there for one treatment than to pay many months of maternity leave. It's all about the money.

We have politicians that are selling our oil to Russia who claim to be servants of America, voted into office. The Bible says that there will come a day when people will love money so much that they'll give up their wife. They'll give up their sanity. They'll give up their rationality for money. That's where we're living, and it's creeped into the church where we have people up in pulpits that it's all about the dollar, and it's all about being paid. 

The Bible says they'll be lovers of money, proud, boastful, blasphemers. The things that are being said about Jesus right now by comedians have never been said before, the baseness of it. One of the leading commentators and journalists in Australia, she's on the news every night, and they were protesting the overruling of Roe vs. Wade. Well, she was holding up a sign at a protest, the newscaster of a major network. It said, "Mary the Virgin should have gotten an abortion."

I want you to look at four words: “Unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving.”  The Bible is saying that a human has lost a natural element. It's gone. You see, that's what's happening right now through much of your lifestyle and much of what you believe is you're trying to convince yourself that this is self-improvement, when it really is, it's further and further away from God. 
 
That's why you're no longer feeling things, you’ve lost the power to feel. Your child's laugh doesn't affect you the way it used to. A sunset isn't as pretty as it was. It's as if the palette of your soul has gone from color to black and white. That last cut in your divorce. That last cut in being fired. That last cut in being cheated on, you did not recover. You didn't heal. You can't feel love, you can’t feel grateful, you can't feel forgiveness. It's gone.

The Bible is showing us clearly that we are becoming a dangerous nation that can discard its kids, leave its marriage, leave its gender, leave its sanity. Get any drug, take any drug, drive anywhere I want, do anything I want and think there's no consequence because the devil is lying to you about how your story is going to end if God does not intervene. 

Paul the Apostle said something amazing. He was explaining to a king, "I was on the way to the road. I was out killing Christians. I went to Damascus to destroy the Christian Church." In fact, it's the only time in the New Testament that you ever hear this. It's never said anywhere else. Jesus said, "On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail." But the Bible says that in the Book of Acts, Paul, Saul of Tarsus began to destroy the church. What an incredible indictment!

He's explaining, "I was destroying Christianity, and one day a light brighter than the sun knocked me off my horse. The voice said, 'The person you're persecuting is actually the Lord of the universe.'"
