The Lost Are Satan’s Prisoners of War
In this ―New Age religion of Unconditional Love, the fact that we are in a warzone has been totally discarded by the Christian world. This has given Satan full advantage to take over the souls of men and women professing to be Christians. This is no trivial matter. The lost are not simply misguided—they are captives held in bondage by a fallen prince who once held the highest position of covering cherub at the throne of God in heaven.
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!…That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? Isaiah 14:12,17
Satan Has Blinded Their Minds Through Lies and Deception
As we learned from RH Dec. 12, 1899 Satan rules the mind and affections by his spirit.
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2Cor. 4:3–4
Satan does not merely distract; he actively works to blind the minds of the lost so that they cannot comprehend the truth. This blindness is not natural—it is supernatural.
It is spiritual warfare. And the unregenerate man is unable to grasp the things of God without divine intervention.
The mind that is blind to the gospel cannot be reasoned into salvation. A child may grow up hearing sermons andgospel songs, yet never grasp that Christ died personally for them. Without someone interceding, that soul remains imprisoned in spiritual darkness, unable to recognize their sin or their desperate need of the Saviour.
The fountain of Christ’s blood does not cleanse until the heart sees its need. But only the Spirit of God can openblinded eyes. Until that power is loosed through intercession, they remain bound.
Evangelizing without prayer is like urging a blind man to admire the sunset. He has no power to respond, no ability to see. The gospel becomes “foolishness to him.
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14
Unless someone prays earnestly (with Tears) and with Authority for the Spirit of God to remove the demonic veil, the soul remains unreachable. There is no salvation without revelation. And there is no revelation until someone intercedes.
