Playing With the Devil
The Naked Generation




In my lifetime, I have seen the concept for free speech and censorship be twisted and maligned to the point of utter depravity.

Each generation takes the depravity to the next level, becoming more and more depraved.

In my younger years, my generation was immoral. We knew right from wrong but often chose to do the wrong. We knew and believed in hell as real consequence for our sins.

Todays generation is not immoral, it is amoral. This generation has no real concept or conviction about morality. Sex is recreational. Sex is no longer holy. Teenagers have many sexual partners before they graduate high school.

The philosophy is " to each his own". The political correctness has led to an atmosphere that everything is ok and it is NOT ok to berate someone for their immoral behavior.

Preaching against homosexuality is on the gay agenda to be deemed hate speech. With the supreme courts ruling allowing gay marriage, the gate has been breached and even more evil will be legitimized soon.

The church is the last stronghold but even some churches have become social clubs giving approval to sinful choices.

You have heard these stats once before but they are so startling, they deserve to be heard again.

1. Increase in nudity/depravity

The study found that there were 76 incidents of full nudity on 37 shows compared to 15 incidents in 14 shows the previous ratings season, representing a 407 percent rise in incidents. Almost 70 percent of the scenes that featured such nudity were on shows which aired prior to 9pm, compared to 50 percent of the full nudity scenes which aired before 9pm during the 2010-2011 season.

In addition, the study says only five of the 76 full-nudity depictions contained an “S” descriptor to warn parents to the explicit nature of the episode.

But perhaps the most jaw-dropping finding was in regard to full-frontal nudity. While just one incidence of this occurred during the 2010-2011 study period, 64 documented full-frontal incidences occurred this past season, a 6,300 percent increase .

The production and proliferation of internet pornography is increasing at an unprecedented rate. The internet has changed the mechanisms of content distribution more fundamentally – and, in the case of pornography and pirated content, more worryingly – than any other technology in history.


Stats

American children begin consuming hardcore pornography at an average age of 11

For out of five 16 year-olds regularly access pornography online

The pornography industry is a $97 billion business worldwide

The pornography industry is a $13 billion is in the United States.

Internet pornography in the United States is a $3 billion industry

Every second…

$3,075.64 is being spent on pornography

28,258 Internet viewers are viewing pornography

372 Internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines (Internet Filter Review, 2006)

Every 39 minutes, a new pornographic video is made in the United States. (Internet Filter Review, 2006)

Roughly two-thirds (67 percent) of young men and one-half (49 percent) of young women agree that viewing pornography is acceptable.

It is every where, you don't have to look for it, it will find you.

Grade school children are sometimes exposed to pornography accidentally when they view material on the Internet.12 They may also come into contact with a parent’s or close adult’s pornographic material.13

Sexual predators have purposefully exposed young children to pornography for the purpose of grooming the children for sexual exploitation.14

Pornography exposure at these young ages often results in anxiety for the child.15
Children also report feelings of disgust, shock, embarrassment, anger, fear, and sadness after viewing pornography.16 These children can suffer all of the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

They may become obsessed with acting out adult sexual acts that they have seen, and this can be very disruptive and disturbing to the child’s peers who witness or are victimized by this behavior.

Children under twelve years old who have viewed pornography are statistically more likely to sexually assault their peers.17

In sum, children exposed to pornographic material are at risk for a broad range of maladaptive behaviors and psychopathology.

Our generation has become so depraved. "If America continues on this path, God will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorra."---David Wilkerson

The Beast will soon rule the earth for a season.

With the legalization of gay marriage, polygamy and age of consent are next. (Transgender bathroom choices) It is only a matter of time. Evil is not seeking approval, it is seeking power. Power to overcome righteousness, power to silence the believer. The political persecution of the church has begun. Persecution of individual believers is happening.

Demonic activity is increasing, we have got to be ready. Holiness is not being a prude. Holiness is keeping the Biblical standard. Abstaining from sin, abstaining from immorality. We now call evil good and good evil.

Don't play with the devil. Don’t play his games.

2. Nudity accompanies demonic influence

Luke 8:27
When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon- possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.

Romans 1:26-32
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God- haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.


You need to know that if you are entertained by naked people, you are entertaining demons.

Women that dress provocatively are just as guilty as the lust that they intentionally provoke.

It is unnatural for a person to be comfortable naked in public, or even privately in front of a stranger.

Adam and Eve hid from God in their nakedness because they were ashamed.

People that perform those acts for the camera are demon possessed. When you watch that stuff, you are opening a gateway into your life to certainly be demon oppressed and possibly possessed.

The movie industry no longer portrays demon possessed people as monsters. Satan can appear as an angel of light. He can appear in an enticing way. He wants to lure you in not scare you away.

If you are, unmarried, and engaging in sexual sins, you have a demon influencing your life.

The Bible makes it clear:

Galatians 5:19-21
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

Sensuality is at an epidemic, its everywhere you look, its in the music you listen to, its in the behaviors of the people around you.

Keep your clothes on. For heaven's sake don't take pictures of yourself and text them to a "friend".

This teenage generation, the girls feel pressured to look and act sexy, to get and keep a boyfriend. Jr. high girls are dealing with boys that are so influenced by pornography that the boys want to skip hand holding and cheek kisses and go straight to the bedroom.

We are to be ashamed of our nakedness, not flaunting it , even privately. If you are not married, if you don't have that piece of paper saying you are married, then you don't have permission from God to engage in sexual activity.

There is no such thing as a bed hopping sexually immoral Christian!!! The word Christian means "little Christ". Jesus was not a bed hopper. If you are engaging in sexual immorality, then you are not a Christian. There is a difference between sexual sins and other sins.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

The marriage bed is blessed of God and consequently is a fulfilling part of the marriage relationship. It is an altar of grace and pleasure. It is the bonding of husband and wife, ONLY!!!!!

Demons have become celebrated in the entertainment industry. They are not feared. Our society celebrates evil. People even surgically alter their faces to look demonic.

A new TV show this summer called Lucifer hit the airwaves.


3. What deliverance looks like

Mark 5:14-17
Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon- possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.

Once the Legion was delivered, he got dressed. There was a visible change that all could see. He was dressed and in his right mind.

1 Cor 12:23
And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment.

Revelation 16:13-17
Then I saw three impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
15 “Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”
16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

A delivered person does not bed hop.

A delivered person respects their body and treats it as something holy and presentable to God.

A delivered person is in his right mind and comes out from the dead and sits relaxed in the presence of The Lord.

The demoniac went through the Decapolis telling everyone of his deliverance.

He was a tortured soul but found peace.

God speaks, the demons listen and obey.

Do not choose to keep your dirty pig over having an encounter with the power of God.

Do you have a tortured soul?

Are you at peace with yourself?

Are you full of guilt and shame?


Conclusion

Demons are not to be played with. They are cancerous spirits that attach themselves to pornographic material. It does not have to be X rated to be pornographic.

Pornography is destroying our society and is infiltrating our churches.
There are many prime time shows that hint so strongly or show so much that it might as well be porn.

This is desensitizing us to the dangers of sin. Lucy and Desi were the first TV couple shown in the same bed. The censors allowed it because they were actually married.
We have travelled a long way down the dark road since then.

Churches have watered down the gospel, added smoke machines, disco balls, strobe lights and dancers, to look more like the world. They boast they are growing, but my question is where will these same people spend eternity.

Broad is the road that leads to death, narrow is the path that leads to life, and few find it.

Show me your friends and I will show you your future. Show me what entertains you and I will show you your eternal destiny.

Are you in bondage? Are you without peace in your mind?

Are you oppressed, down cast?

Is your life out of control?

Are you tortured by a spiritual heaviness?

Are you under a spiritual attack?

Be set free today. Be delivered in the name of Jesus.
