We live in Vanity Fair. Satan has influenced the world to seek pleasure and fame. Youth culture shouts
the lies of Satan and captures the hearts of so many.

Satan does not care about what direction a person takes with his life, as long as it is not the narrow path
toward Christ. He does not care if they seek drugs, sex, entertainment, position, power. He does not
care about which road they take to destruction. His goal is to sidetrack every person, so they don’t
believe in Christ by whatever means at his disposal. Then if they do come to Christ, his goal is to make
sure they certainly do not serve Him with their lives.

You must fully understand that your are in a battle for the hearts of mankind. Ephesians 6: 12 says,
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers,
against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places. The passage continues to describe the tools of discipleship and concludes with verse
18 telling us to win the battle “with all prayer and supplication, praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”
