The Hostile Spiritual Takeover of Our Nation
Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President, Human Life International
Anyone who has watched national politics closely in the past year and a half has seen a panoply of aggressive political moves that are reported about in hostile terms. There are government "takeovers" of huge industries, public officials "moving against" businesses and individuals, court decisions "striking down" statutes and executive initiatives "attacking" fundamentally sane institutions and plans. Even in times of war, I don't think we have ever had such violent social and political maneuvering in our public life. The worst aspect of it is that all the rapaciousness is directed inward. If we were laying waste the enemies of the innocent citizens of our society in the same way we are consuming our own healthy institutions, how different our public life would be! The current hostile initiatives are nothing of the sort, however. They are essentially demonic takeovers of sacred institutions by the pagans who hold the reins of power.
Let me be clear: I am not saying that our public officials are demons. I am saying that they are acting like demons. Demons lie, cheat and steal - obsessively. It is their nature. Once the demons rejected God, they fell into a dark world devoid of love and dominated by the ethic of the survival of the fittest where "might is right". The human beings that serve them act in much the same way when they implement their agendas and policies. Whenever they are in control of institutions or governments, they lie, cheat and steal. In their minds, they are right because they have the might - and to the victors go the spoils.
But what did we expect, really? Our nation elected unabashedly pagan representatives who are possessed of a tapestry of unclean ideologies who have an almost religious fervor in advancing their control over greater sectors of our common life and economy. The sad part is that these people who govern us are simply being true to their convictions: before the election, they were not abashed in telling us how radical they are, and now we are reaping the fruits of the demonic agenda of the death and destruction that they have brought with them.
I would despair of this situation had I not met so many decent and God-fearing Americans who do not agree with the mainstreaming of paganism into our culture. I have met the virtuous side of America, and it is to these that I write these words of encouragement: be strong! We must be true to the core Christian principles that made this nation great! Be not afraid of the severe conflicts with the pagan world that we will have to endure in the very near future. We are not alone in this battle. There are many more moral and decent Americans than we realize. It's just that the good ones are busy about raising families and keeping the basic fabric of our society intact. They are not the hedonists and manipulators that strive obsessively to control public discourse and institutions. They are there in the background and form the true foundation of our society.
In time, the proper spiritual leadership will emerge which will bind us together and form us into a fighting force called the Church Militant - the only spiritual force that can truly resist the hostile spiritual takeover of our nation. Let us not forget, however, that we must get down on our knees and beg, plead, and implore God to restore our once-great nation to its grandeur. We will not see the dawn of a renewed nation without prayer and sacrifice. The momentum of righteousness, consisting of all the humble goodness taking place at the grass-roots level of the Church and society, will eventually build, and we will take back our nation - not only at the ballot box but above all in the hearts and minds of all those who love God and are doing their best to love their neighbor. We will then be able to cast out the unclean spirits that are destroying everything that we hold sacred, and society will once again be governed by righteous men. For such an end we place our deepest hope in Christ, our true and only Savior!
Don't be so sure. Any half-conscious person knows now what they new before the election about the radical, evil socialistic nature of this administration and congress - and they still voted for them. What is different now?
Hitler only came to power because of the people followed him Obama followers have the same mind set.
“Let me be clear: I am not saying that our public officials are demons. I am saying that they are acting like demons. Demons lie, cheat and steal - obsessively.”
I agree with everything he says in the first paragraph; and, then, he wimps out with the quote above, and that lost me. If they act like demons, which they are doing, they are demons of one kind or another. Don’t wimp out-Obama is here to divide and cause great damage to this once great country-it can be great again, but Obama and his crowd have to be taken down(obligatory, politically, of course.).

Thanks.
Demons can possess a person without his consent.
Messiah of the Church of Whatever Works For Me.
Could you please elaborate (great topic BTW).
Anything other than this would violate the basic but universal "law of free will."
This position is supported by many, many discussions with theologians, priests, and ministers and by writers on the topic of possession and exorcism like Malachi Martin (Hostage to the Devil) and, to a lesser degree, Scott Peck (People of the Lie).
That said, it is possible that something, some exception, has been overlooked.
I don’t believe that the average voter that voted for them knew what they were all about. They voted for a novel idea of having a black as President without looking at the individual and what he stood for. However, they are learning real fast.
Indeed.
” Evil has clearly taken over our country. “
Yes, it has. You’d like David Kupelian’s new (Feb. 2010) book, “How Evil Works”.
It offers solutions to these things.
The only Person with the power to control the fallen angels is Jesus Christ and if a person chooses not to accept Him as Savior, then they are vulnerable to anything happening to them and they have no way to defend themselves and no protection.
That said, there are many people wobbling at the Crossroads...and Satan is working on them feverishly (just as God stands stalwart like a Rock, ready to open the doors of Salvation to those who will accept Him).
But ultimately, acceptance of evil goes hand-in-hand with the rejection of God.
The one thing I have noticed about the successful exorcisms I have read about and heard about is that the possessed is, by the process of the rite itself (and by the Power of the Name of Jesus), taken back by God (but that too requires a decision, an agreement, on the part of the possessed).
Let’s Add the following:
Isaiah 41:10 (God is speaking): “Do not fear (or look around in terror), for I am with you. Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.”
God gave me this scripture on 9/11.
As we all know well, acceptance of our Savior does not stop Satan from pouring on the temptation.
And I have seen some people I thought were so incredible lost they could never be saved miraculously turn to Jesus when they hit bottom.
Demons cannot possess a person who is saved because that person is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and are therefore protected. Demons, as we know, tremble and flee before God and can't stand to be in His presence.
No one is beyond the salvation that Christ offers provided they choose to respond to the wooing of the Holy Spirit. There have been hard-core atheists who have chosen the freedom and forgiveness offered by Christ so there is nobody who can't be redeemed.
Amen.
