HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, November 19, 2024 – I came across a mini-biography of a prominent politician the other day on a social media forum thread. It read like this:

>born into extreme poverty
>family is torn apart by drugs and abuse
>fights through this
>serves his nation as a soldier
>attends a great university
>pulls himself up
>has a family
>achieves [political prominence].

The OP was arguing that the politician’s ascendancy was evidence that the American Dream was still alive. Unfortunately, the OP missed the part where the politician is approached by an agent of the luciferian deep state, who tempts him with wealth and fame beyond his comprehension, all for the low, low price of his soul. The temptation likely occurred in the politician’s early adult years, followed by a radical change, as if a switch had been flicked.

The opposite occurs in people who are genuinely born-again. They also have that definitive 180-degree change moment, but instead of gaining worldly success in their chosen field, they become poor “failures” or nobodies (in the eyes of the world), like Jesus was before his resurrection.

You can clearly see who has or hasn’t sold their souls if you know what to look for. Some of the devil’s minions are in so deep, they’ve become household names. Tellingly, they all claim to have embraced some form of religion, usually in early adulthood, but that’s just the hook they hang the devil’s hat on.

When Jesus told us the world was under the authority of Satan, he wasn’t speaking figuratively. Nor was he speaking figuratively when he told the religious ptb in Jerusalem that their father was the devil and that they served the devil, not God. Furthermore, when Jesus relayed his experience in the desert of being tempted with wealth and power in exchange for worshiping the devil, it was to let us know that this – trading your soul for worldly success – is the devil’s MO.

The world is an ugly place for those who have eyes to see; soul-sellers are everywhere, from the local primary school all the way up to the highest political and judicial offices. They dominate, business, industry, all the professions, entertainment, education, the arts, sports, etc. Quite simply, if you live in the world, you can’t avoid interacting with soul-sellers.

What’s a poor born-again believer to do?

As I’ve written here before, God doesn’t want us to work against or even to “out” the soul-sellers. He has them firmly in his grip by having full authority over the devil (how else can God’s justice be perfect?). If we work against the soul-sellers, we’re ultimately working against God. Certainly, we need to see these people for what they are, but we also need to let them be. They have no authority over us, other than to make laws that we’re free to ignore or work around if they contradict God’s laws.

Our job as followers of Jesus is not to praise, envy, support, or “out” the condemned, but only to “do that which pleases the Father”. The reward for not selling your soul is that you’ll likely be a poor nobody – in other words, the opposite of what you would have been had you served the devil. But I’m happy to be poor and a nobody in the eyes of the world if it means I get to serve God and follow Jesus. To me, there’s no greater achievement, though I didn’t do anything to achieve it; God did it all for me, just as the devil masterminds the soul-sellers’ achievements.

The poorer you are, the more dependent you are on God; the more dependent you are on God, the closer you grow to him; the closer you grow to him, the more you get to see him in action, up close and personal. This – not fame and fortune – is the truly “good life”, and it shows the devil’s rewards for the curses they are.
