Lucifer Deceives Humanity

The human being in the old world in general, and in the east specifically, suffered from intellectual oppression and religious dictatorship on the one hand and authoritarian political regimes and confiscation of freedoms on the other. Therefore, benefits, positions, and gains go to the ruling classes, religiously and politically authoritarian, at the expense of the crushed human being and the societies neglected by the authorities. That is why human regiments flocked to America as other immigrants, and they pursued the dream of freedom while others dreamed of rapid wealth in the good virgin land and domination.
Then the civil war in our country, America, was a milestone in its history and the history of humanity by abolishing slavery. We have a constitution in a new world from which the intellectual human being made a beautiful, flourishing, and fruitful country with wealth and all human needs. But did the dream we came here for come true? Or have the instruments of enslavement and oppression that we survived in our ancient world have been replaced by softer and subtler ones, and the contemporary human being became bound and enslaved, but this time not by rough oppression, but by man’s total awareness and will and with all the tools of seduction or persuasion?!
On the financial level, the capitalist system and money now own everything, and credit cards with massive advertising programs have become a big trap enslaving people. Also, the misery of debts that it is easy for them to borrow, and the possessions they were tempted to acquire. And in a way that goes beyond the idea of obtaining what we need to use, to using all forms of temptation and the love of the world, pride, and boasting about collectibles and having and wearing brands.
On the humanitarian and social level, sex was unleashed at the expense of family, its interdependence, and humanity, under the name of sexual and personal freedom, starting with cinema, then all various social media tools which are widely spread to the extent of legalizing homosexual marriages by a law constituted by the Supreme Court. The question here after this analysis of the American society is, has the dream of freedom and happiness been fulfilled for the American people, or has the majority become enslaved to sex and money? and what are the consequences of all this on the mental and physical health of the Americans, the children, and the American family as a whole. I fear that Lucifer has succeeded in robbing and stealing man’s freedom and his eternal happiness with the temptations of the love of the world and the trap of sex.
The question now that everyone of us should ask himself is, whether we have been able to achieve deep peace, comfort and happiness by running after these lustful desires and bad habits that we have learned from this world, or we are now bearing the fruits of that anxiety and depression that has clouded our heart and mind without giving us true happiness?
Let me firmly assure you that the way to salvation from Lucifer’s constraints of slavery that he has placed on man, and the only solution to restore freedom, is only through Jesus Christ, who was able to break all his chains and free man from his bondage. Jesus Christ promised and fulfilled His promise because He is the only one who defeated him on the cross and invalidated all his weapons that he fought man with, which is the bondage of sin “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36). Whoever wants to gain his freedom and be released from the bondage of sin and Lucifer, must abide by Christ and surrender himself to Him.
Finally, I want to leave you with a question that I would like you to answer and that is, was Christ's call to humanity to be isolated from the world or rather, it was His call for us to enjoy God's good creation which He created for us without being enslaved by evil lustful desires in the constant quest for emptiness and the unknown which will lead us to anxiety, depression, loneliness, and grieve?!
