"Be alert, be vigilant. Because your adversary the devil, walks throughout
humanity as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour."

| I have learned so much through its pages, and I still have much to learn. While at this time, however, I hope that what I have to share will give those with open minds the opportunity to better understand the forces that were at work behind a series of crimes known as the "Son of Sam" shootings. How above all else, the Son of Sam case was a demon energized and demon directed crime spree. And this is something I have discussed before but feel the need to touch on this matter again. Not to justify what happened, for there is no justification for it, but rather to awaken humanity to the reality of the dark forces which operate in various ways within society. |
Evil is not just a force, nor is it a concept. It's an extension of Satan's wickedness that has been passed down to humanity. When Adam disobeyed God, he fell from perfection, which resulted in all mankind now following the ways of the devil.
And this is why the world is in the state that it's in. When Adam was in the Garden of Eden before the fall, he walked with God. He and God fellowshipped together. But when Adam sinned through his disobedience, everything got switched around. Man, who was once sinless, now became a sinner. He who once walked with God, now found himself, in essence, walking with the devil.
The Bible affirms this. In the New Testament's book of Ephesians, in the second chapter this unfortunate truth is revealed. How fallen man is now aligned with God's adversary, also known in the Scriptures as the "prince of the power of the air." And how we, by our fallen nature, are subject to his temptations, along with the influences of demons, with little ability to resist. That is, if we have not yet been "born again" through placing our faith in Jesus Christ (see Ephesians 2:1-3).
Because of the fall (Adam's sin) we became followers of the devil. Not willingly, of course. Sadly, the greater majority of humanity may not even be aware of this biblical truth or even believe it to be true. But the Bible declares it to be so.
In any event, when it comes to my crimes, they were satanically orchestrated. Which I have touched on before in past journal entries, and elsewhere. And I may elaborate on it further in the days to come.
But for now, I want to quote the Lord Jesus Christ who said, "The thief (Satan) comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I have come that you might have a life of peace and joy in abundance" (John 10:10). However, this peace and joy comes only from having a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus.
I know this to be true, because I know it firsthand. My full trust and hope are in Messiah Jesus.
