What Satan and his followers are doing right now?

From the garden of Eden and up to now, Satan was deceiving our forefathers to disobey the commandment of God not to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, and they were deceived and ate the fruit.  They disobeyed God which was the starting point of the fall of humanity into sin.  Because of sin, all were died, "For the wages of sin is death, both physical and spiritual or the everlasting separation of man from the presence of God" Romans 3:23.  And the book of John says, "The thief or Satan came here on earth to steal, to kill, and to destroy all relationship, but Jesus came to give life and to have this more abundantly" John 10:10.  Up to now Satan and his followers, the fallen angels are doing their very best quickly for they knew that their end is soon to come and Satan wants that all people on earth will be with him in hell, his permanent tormenting and punishment place for eternity with all whom he may deceive too.

We can't see Satan and the fallen angels but we can know their presence and operations where there are killings, robbery, immorality, worshiping of Satan in some states of the United States of America and the world, legalization of the same-sex marriage, selfishness, unforgiving spirit, lusts, sensuality, focusing of ones mind to get rich, to be on top of the society, adultery, breaking up of so many relationships, unwanted child, drinking of too much wine, legalization of gambling, having a form of godliness but can't forgive his brother or sister or parents, and more.  God created the world and he owns this, Genesis 1 but Satan wants to own it cause he knew that he is the prince of this world II Corinthians 4:4; John 12:31; 14:30.  Satan our enemy prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour I Peter 5:8. He has no any good purpose to mankind except to destroy everything.  All activities that lead people away from God are of the devil, therefore, we should have no part on these.

If Satan is always on the offensive move right now, we as true believers and followers of Jesus Christ should also be in the offensive move and not let ourselves be deceived by his very tricky and evil schemes like what he did to our forefathers and the people today.  We have to be self-controlled and alert I Peter 5:8.  Fill our mind with the words of God regularly Philippians 4:8-18, always pray with
all kinds of prayer I Thessalonians 5:17, change our mind set and renewed our mind to become like Christ and not to conform to the pattern and system of this world Romans 12:1-2, Resist the devil and he flee from you James 4:7, Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth...that your life will become prosperous and successful Joshua 1:8, endure hardships or accept these as God's discipline for he disciplined all his true children for the better until he comes again Hebrews 12:5-6.

We have to strengthen our faith till the second coming of Jesus Christ and focus our eyes on him, the author and finisher or perfecter of our faith.  For our citizenship is in heaven, the place he prepared for all whom he saved through his blood that was shed on the cross Philippians 3:20.  Let us continue to pray that he will find us faithful in obeying his words and be a part of the proclamation of the good news of salvation to all through our lives, personal testimony, good works with love and holiness for the sake of others even without anything in return, lead others to the saving knowledge of Jesus and don't let them to perish in hell for eternity Matthew 25:23; 28:18-20. As our expression of great thanks to the sacrificial act of God through Jesus just to save us from the power of sin and its punishment, let us share this truth also to others as long as we still have the freedom to do it.  As what the message of a song says, "Only one life so soon it will pass, only what's done for Christ will last".  Don't waste the wonderful and great salvation we received by faith through Jesus, the grace of God.  "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son Jesus, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16.
