Few things have fueled the exponential interest in conspiracy theories as the internet. People make a lucrative living from "exposing" the hidden agendas of politicians clamouring for a new world order, the not-so-secret "Illuminati" in Hollywood and the music industry. While much of it is conjecture which borderlines hysteria, I have no doubt that there is more than a shred of truth to the claims. Sites and news feeds focus on pictures of celebrities throwing down symbolism of the "All-Seeing-Eye," or the use of 666 by Dr. Dre and Brittany Spears in ads or on clothing. Is the Illuminati really calling the shots? Is there a satanic plot to use music, movies, and media to influence people and destroy Christian ethics and morality? In such a convoluted world where alleged conspiracies and connections are made between a hand signal and global domination through subliminal influence, it is hard to figure out how deep the rabbit trail goes. It is not a trail which can be followed, but rather an expansive void to lose oneself. The trouble is, these self-proclaimed insiders and experts cannot agree. It impossible to tell up from down, left or right in this dark vacuum.
Beyonce's ring in the shape of baphomet, the involvement of Lady Gaga, Rhianna, or Jay-Z in the Illuminati, whether innumerable artists have sold their souls for rock-n-roll, these are all ploys to distract from the one who is behind all corruption, lies, and deception: Satan. The conspiracy of Satan to steal, kill, and destroy is nothing new. This is not a newsflash to anyone who has read the Bible. When the devil tempted Jesus, what did he offer Him? In Matthew 4 Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and the glory in them in a moment's time and said, "All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me." Jesus told Satan, "Get thee hence, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thous serve." Though turned down by Jesus Christ, Satan has held forth the same offer to countless people today from all walks of life: businessmen, actors, musicians, politicians, rappers, and on. Many people have agreed to the devil's terms, choosing a life of fame, wealth, and power in exchange for their souls.
The blues artist Robert Johnson and many others have claimed to have made a pact with the devil, to give their souls in exchange for skill in songwriting and playing music. Even for those so foolish and short-sighted to do so, there remains genuine saving hope and deliverance in Christ. Jesus Christ has the power and authority to free all from the life of bondage you have chosen. Whether or not you have consciously made a deal, your ticket to hell has already been punched because of sin. I believe most people have no idea that they are born in bondage to self, sin, and Satan by virtue of being a descendant of Adam. Man is born "sold under sin" in his carnal state (Romans 7:14), but Jesus freely laid down His life on Calvary and shed His blood to redeem all sinners who will repent and trust in Him. I was in bondage to sin and heading towards certain death in hell until I was cleansed and reconciled to God by the blood of Jesus by grace through faith. You don't need to be a rich man or an influential celebrity on the red carpet of Hollywood to have made a pact with Satan: the pact was already in place before we were even born! It is nothing for Satan to bribe his followers with millions of dollars and adoring fans before he comes to collect. Satan has nothing I want, for everything I need is in Christ.
Satan is a defeated enemy of God. Satan cannot harvest souls, for only God has the power of life and death. Satan's life is already forfeit, having chosen a life of sin, immorality, pride, and rebellion from God. He will be bound in a bottomless pit for 1,000 years and later be thrown into the Lake of Fire with Death, Hades, demons, and all who reject Jesus Christ as LORD and Saviour. Should we cringe in fear because there is a conspiracy to deceive and delude the youth of today? Should masonic imagery, occult symbols, and Satan's agenda cause us to cower in fear? Absolutely not! Satan has always had his puppets, but there is no power or life in them compared to Christ. Let us fear God, trusting that the power of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin and graciously gives us eternal life. The devil delights in deceiving those he claims to help, chewing them up and spitting them out. The body count is rising of those who dance with darkness. My heart breaks for those he has tricked into bargaining with him.
For all of those who are in bondage to Satan and believe no hope for you remains, you have been deceived. You may drown out the voices with alcohol, drugs, and pleasure. All that you have longed for - the money, sex, fame, and power - will be shackles on your hands and feet and a mouth full of gravel that breaks your teeth. Suicide will provide no escape for you, for apart from Christ hell is every man's destination. Jesus Christ is the One who loves you, has shed His blood to redeem you, and will drive out the demons with a word. He offers forgiveness, grace, love, and eternal life by grace through faith. He will rid you of your fear. He will protect and sustain you. Jesus Christ is the only One who can save you from your living hell. Isaiah 61:1-3 says, "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, 3 to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."
