Spiritual Matters

How can Islam be the most widely practiced religion on earth, and yet be a lie?

Look, I'm not going to get real deep into the spiritual side of this, I'm gonna keep it sweet and simple because you need to understand it.

There is a spiritual battle being waged every day between good and evil, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

There is God, who created the heavens and the earth, and there is the God of this world who controls it who is Lucifer, yes the Devil.

Try and understand this: God created man and angels with freewill choice. Otherwise we would all be robots walking around worshipping the creator God, end of story.

I am not going to get into the fall of Lucifer and all that but the truth is that until a man or woman becomes born again of Gods Spirit through Jesus Christ his or hers thoughts and actions can and do become influenced by deceiving spirits of which there are to many to list here. I am talking about evil spirits that influence people to do anything from stealing and committing suicide to murder.

A man or woman who is born again into the family of God has the power to resist all the evil in the world. What that means is that in the simple name of Jesus Christ we can by our own thoughts easily push out any negative thought patterns that do not create a sense of joy and peace.

Look, I'm trying to keep it simple.

So with that being said, how can Islam be so popular and not be from God?

Look at it this way:
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth, all that is in them including man.
Adam and Eve talked with God face to face. They knew who he was and what he is, yet Eve was able to be deceived by Lucifer by disobeying the one and only thing God told them not to do.

How could that happen?

Lucifer wasn't no ordinary angel, God created him as the most magnificent of all, second only to himself, full of wisdom and authority.

I'm not going to get into the fall of Lucifer but he was cast to the Earth and has complete rule and authority over it.
In the garden of Eden, Eve was not deceived by a big snake or a serpent, she was led astray by an angel of light, Lucifer. He came to her as the Great and Morning Star, a beautiful angelic creature to behold, not as a snake in a tree like a fairy tale book. And it was in that way in which he was able to deceive Eve that she really did not understand what God had told her about the forbidden tree.

The reason I have said all that is because:

The same way in which Adam and Eve were deceived by the Angel of Light is the same way in which billions of people are being deceived today by Islam.

The Spiritual supercedes the Physical

Unless a man or woman is born again in the name of Jesus Christ, he or she is open for attack at any time by evil spirits. Spirits that can control the thoughts of the mind and can easily lead anyone in any direction they desire.
And it is the main objective of Lucifer to keep as many people as he can from getting born again in the name of Jesus Christ, because once you are it cannot be taken away:

1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Once you are born again with the spirit of God it cannot be taken away. You can be led astray, you can be led by evil again if you let it, but you have the absolute power to force it away with your own thought. Once you have the power of God you cannot lose it, you can only choose not to use it.

In closing, the Devil has done a great job in convincing billions of people that Islam, is the way that you get to God, that you have to earn your way into heaven and everlasting life. And the people who believe that instill that message and pass it down from generation to generation until you get to the place where we are now.

Anyone who is truly Born Again of the Spirit of God can easily recognize that Islam comes from the God of this world and is meant to keep people from knowing the one and only true God and his son Jesus Christ the only true source of peace, joy, all around prosperity and everlasting life.

Till next time, Peace
