“Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23)

[WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS NUDITY, AND IS PROVIDED SOLELY FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST.  I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THIS MATERIAL, BUT IT IS NECESSARY, TO SHOW HOW CUNNINGLY SUBTLE SATAN WORKS.]

Grace and peace, Saints.

Last week I told you about how Satan uses many methods to tempt the man of God into sin, and I gave you a personal testimony to the same involving a sexually suggestive billboard.  If you are not on your toes, you will think these incidents to be mere coincidences, but if you are spiritually aware, then you know that in the realm of spiritual warfare, nothing is a coincidence.

I’ll give you another example.  About a month or so ago, my son and I took a walk to a park near our home.  On the way to the park, we passed a local photo studio that my family has used on occasion.  I was amazed at what I saw on the storefront window.  Click here and here.

We all know that the Europeans are supposed to be “sexually liberated” and all that.  But the last time I heard, a totally naked woman’s behind was still considered pornography–even here in Germany.  But maybe I’m just behind the power curve on this one.  

Now let me ask you a question: Why would a photo studio put something like this on their storefront window?  It used to be that photographers would display modest samples of their work on their storefront windows, and If they offered something a little more fringe or risque, they would display those on the inside of the studio towards the back, or present them upon request.  Most photographers will do a nude photo shoot, if requested, but, because they also cater to families, and most families have children, they won’t display this sort of work on their storefront window out of common decency.  But, as you can see here, decency isn’t common at all anymore.  

Satan is on a mission, and nothing is sacred–especially your child’s innocence.

Now, I pass this photo studio on average twice a month.  And I’m certain that this photo was not there the last time I looked.  Because nothing in my life is a coincidence, I believe this to be totally intentional.

Don’t misunderstand me folks.  It’s not all about me.  Not everyone walking around cares who I am or what I believe.  But Satan does care.  And if Satan cares, then so do his people.  My Bible says that “the whole world lieth in wickedness.”  I’ve learned through experience not to take anything for granted.  And neither should you: not even a storefront window. 

Parents, talk to your children about pornography.  Mystery Babylon has plans for every child to have seen every conceivable sex act by the time he is thirteen years old.  They are working feverishly to ensure that pornography becomes the norm.  And they have the time, the resources, and the sufficient moral depravity to make it happen.  One day, a fully clothed woman will look as out of place as a man standing on the bus stop with an astronaut’s suit on.  And a naked woman will be able to walk down the street and not even cause a stir.  Proof that this is Satan’s end game is the fact that the man, in the photo on the other side of the display window, at least has his pants on.

So, talk to your children about pornography.  Let them know that it is wrong; and let them know that watching and enjoying pornography–whether it be a pornographic magazine, an x-rated movie, or a photography studio window–is an abomination in God’s sight.  Pornography will earn you a generational curse.  God is serious about this one, Saints.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.
