This is the big difference between Christianity and any other religion, even though Christianity is a relationship and not just a religion. Jesus came out of the tomb and He later promised that He would come back to bring His Bride, the church, home to be with Him. This life is fleeting and short so I pray that you have given your life and your heart to Jesus. Easter is the celebration of the day that Jesus was found to be “missing” from His tomb and because He fulfilled prophecy in doing so it is proof of Who He is!
In February 2022, as a supplement to our semester-long study of morality in my Christian club, I initiated a creative writing project that was inspired by some of the events that have unfolded during the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic.
After sitting down and doing some reflection on the pandemic, I remembered a period of time throughout 2020, and the early months of 2021, when the church was undergoing a time of great deception and confusion, mainly in mainstream evangelical churches. After reading Tracy’s publication titled “Are we Being Tested”, I reflected on the false prophecies that have been going around during Covid. In a future post, I will share with you a few purposes that I believe were accomplished during the lockdown. But, one of the main ones I shared with Tracy is that the church is being tested and tried by fire to see if we are truly doing what we are supposed to be doing: Following and sharing the truth of the Gospel. Remember Job’s trials from Satan? Remember Daniel and the lion’s den? Remember the fiery furnace? Remember the persecution of the early Christians? These were all trials to prove the authenticity of their faith, and whether they actually have the capacity to apply what we have been taught to our daily lives: both in the good and the bad times.
Unfortunately, a majority of professing Christians are failing the coronavirus test by chasing after false teachers who tickle their ears with smooth lips who tell them what they want to hear. Some have even turned to atheism, or worse, have started outright worshipping Satan and joining the occult as a result of the uncertainty we have faced. Some have started drinking, and some have participated in protests that accomplish nothing but calamity and chaos. This was foretold in 2 Timothy chapter 4. The following excerpt comes from verses 3-5 in the World English Bible version, which inspired the creation of this project.
3, For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;
4, And will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.
5, But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
Isn’t this the phenomenon we are witnessing today? Preachers claiming to cure the coronavirus while casting judgement on a supposedly “corrupt” voting system that did not elect their golden calf? Even a well-known televangelist claiming to cast judhement on Covid and Satan while spitting at a guillible audience who does not give a SQUAT about rebuking sin? Yet, when Lil Nas X released that Satan video last year, we kicked up an emotional meltdown, as if our puffed-up flesh was getting attacked by “the work of Satan”! Church, we have a lot of work to do!
Take all of the drama, and you get, …. … a dramatic documentary! WOAH! Lay down the tapes!
Backstory Behind The Name
The story behind this written documentary was not actually based on political tensions alone. Rather, it is based on a trend that has been circulating across many evangelical churches in America during the early stages of the Covid-19 outbreak. What I am present is not necessarily an abstract narrative as I have written over the course of the past two years.
Proir to the culmination of this documentary, I composed three plays based on the 2020 election and the political upheaval that followed the election (details to come in a future post). Quite frankly, “Satan Visits the Church” may be one of the most challenging and emotional pieces I would have created since Covid started. The name of the piece suggests that there are secrets hidden under the scope of televangelism and the quest to obtain knowledge of the spiritual world in a time where a great plague has put us in the position of standing against the wall. I am of the firm conviction that we are living in a time where fear is so prevalent, that it prompts us to examine Biblical prophecy and eschatology through the lens of cultural trends, politics, and the function of the church. If you tie all of these together, we have a mystery we have to uncover. I firmly believe that Satan has been a major figure that has greatly influenced the functioning of the church and a continually evolving civilization in a climate where sin is socially acceptable. The problem is that the fears we associate with the Covid vaccines and other uncertainties cloud our knowledge and understanding, inherently creating a flawed view of Satan and the spiritual realm. Thus, it would inevitably create a flawed view of God. You will hear heart-wrenching, and often sad, chilling, and outright touching testimonies from three Spanish immigrants who face a period of spiritual testing. You will also hear stories from other figures who were a part of the scandal.

In this documentary, three Spanish immigrants undergo years of tribulation and suffering that has sent the family unit to their knees. For the bioligical mother of two adopted children raised in Catholic school, the search for knowledge and healing have led her to cut corners. After their local church burns down to the ground, a false prophet named Sire Victor, who is a secret high priest of the LaVeyan Church of Satan, is elected as a priest in a different cathedral, where he prophesies riches and financial growth while proclaiming the healing of their gravely ill grandmother hospitalized with Covid.
The family had been homeless for years. The youngest adoptive child, 9-year-old Lee Darwin, lost both her former parents in a tragic house fire. Four years later, he lives with an 11-year-old brother named Eli, who is a Catholic who is led astray by the tribulations that take place, and well as old wounds from religious fanatics. Later in the play, you will notice varouis accounts from witnesses mentioning her future plan to eventually join the Church of Satan if things don’t improve.
Eventually, after being forewarned about Victor’s prophecy, Meredith Darwin, the biological mother of two children, makes a decision to sell her soul for a beautiful, exotic mansion. After a month gambling in the casino to pay for Catholic education, the mansion gets destroyed by a typhoon, leaving her to spend three nights in the hospital.
With two members of the family devoted their lives to the luxury Satan enticed them with, the mission to capture this false prophet goes underway, and Lee is put to the ultimate test to stay on the path of Jesus. After a series of interviews and testimonies given out, the false prophet is charged with fraud, theft, and over 20 counts of extortion and sacrilege.
So, what is this hidden secret Satan keeps from Meredith and the public? Glamor glorifies the eyes of a guillible idiot.
Conclusion
The final, pulished copy of this thought-provoking play should be released by the end of May, or at the latest, the first week of June. The original plan was to have it published to the school’s literature magazine, but that may not happen until next year, since I have a lot of homework to work on, and I have been out a lot these past three weeks. Regardless of what form it is, I pray that the creation and publication of this presentation will challenge me and many others to learn more about the Word of God and mature in their faith.
My Essential Question of Experimentation For This Piece
What happens when the head of the family is led astray, and only the youngest member is still walking in the light?
A few weeks before school went on Spring Break, I began a series with my Christian club on salvation and the kingdom of Satan in light of Lent. I presented this video to accompany the slideshow presentation, and some of the members were surprised with the revelation they received. When I first watched this during quarantine, this video challenged me to think of the spiritual realm differently then how I saw it prior to Covid.
As I share this video with you all, I want to pose to you a question. How is it possible for a born again Christian who claims to believe in the existence of a loving God fail to grasp that there is a real enemy who hates their existence? How can we be ambassadors of the light if we are unaware of the darkness that surrounds this world?
I pray that you will be enlightened by this sermon and that you will open your eyes to the spirit world. Let us not be ignorant of Satan’s devices! Let’s educate ourselves so that we may teach others how to live through this lifelong battle.
Hello Everyone,
My name is Maia, and I am 17 years old. I am about to complete the 11th grade. I have been commenting and writing on several Christian blogs during the pandemic in hopes of sharing the Gospel message of Christ to the world, and being a source of light in the shadows of darkness.
I am more than pleased to be given the wonderful privelege of working with Tracy in publishing posts that will challenge you to grow and mature in your relationship with Jesus Christ! 🙂
I first visited this page in March of 2022, and have been given the wonderful opportunity to get to know more about his journey to the light. I would like to thank him for continually being a part of a growing support system as I use my talents to make a differere during the coronavirus pandemic.
My passion for writing and blogging actually began freshman year. When we all went on lockdown in March 2020, God inspired me to lead a virtual movement known as God vs Satan (link will be provided at the end of this presentation.) Basically, what we did is to use our talents and creativity to spread the massage of Christ to neighboring schools in my community, and take a stance against the evils that so plague this nation.
I have been widely recognized as a “die-heart patriot” who cares deeply about others. I went through a period of time when I was confused and deeply grieved by the events of 9/11. It got to the point where I was obsessed with a nightly challenge where I would go to bed at 9:11 PM as a remedy from ⠮ pain of comprehending the tragedy.
When my parents banned the challenge, and I struggled to overcome the obsession, I went through four dark weeks, in which Satan tried to convice me that my faith was over, and that he knew deep down I had a hidden passion for the world, and not just 9/11 itself.
In June 2019, my family went to New York City for a performance my professional choir had at Carnegie Hall. The day before the performance, me and my sister went to the 9/11 Memorial. After the tour, God revealed to me my purpose in this life: To be the light in this evil world.
I am currently serving as the Vice President of a Christian club on my high school, which means I work with the President and planning and facilitating our weekly sermons and activities. Our activities are built off of a slideshow I create in advance, which I share with the club sponsor.
I am a contributing writer for a blog called Biblical-christianity.com. This is a site dedicated to understanding the history and dynamics of various theologies, including the end-times.
Most of the presentations I will publish on this blog include reviews and critiques of publications, as well as short previews of some of my projects. In general, you should expect presentations on current events, faith, morality, sin, salvation, the promises of God, and the workings of Satan.
It is our sacred duty as a people to preach the resurrection of Jesus Christ and proclaim the promise of freedom for those who turn to His light. It is time that we as a people expose Satan for who he is: A ravenous wolf who is defeated by the blood of the Lamb and through the fervent work of a bold warrior in Christ!
I will conclude with a passage of Scripture that has greatly resonated with me every Easter Sunday. John 3:16 states, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Today, let us reflect on the love God continually displays to a broken, wretched generation of sinners. Heaven and eternal life await for the people who turn to the light that is found in Jesus! Amen!
I cannot wait to share everything that the Holy Spirit has placed in my heart, in hopes that I may enlighten and inspire someone. Let us continue to fight the good fight against the kingdom of Satan! 🙂 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yw515TQXkrkC2mqEDmzeqBTwIGHrV2pM0fbjV_IwIVg/edit?usp=drivesdk
Psalm 22 was written hundreds of years before crucifixion was even begun yet it describes it in detail. Read it and think about His crucifixion for your sins and mine.
A psalm of the Cross
(Matthew 27:45-56; Mark 15:33-41; Luke 23:44-49; John 19:28-30) references to this psalm in the gospels.
1{To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.} My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 They cried unto thee and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seeks him: your heart shall live forever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
This is something that all of us should be used to by now. Every time the state gets a little more money from gambling income or the lottery we always hear that it is going to education or teacher salaries. Then we hear that there isn’t enough money to do this or that. I’d like to know who’s pocket all of the money ends up in because it isn’t in the teacher’s pocket and it seems that more money in the education system isn’t really helping that much anymore.
Have you ever wondered what really went wrong? It isn’t the money or the salaries or even the jobs that are being offered because it seems that there are too many today who really don’t want to work or get a good education. The real problem began in the early ’60s when prayer and Bible study/reading were either taken from our education system or it was being taken away. Prior to that time, our education system was the best or at least one of the best in the world. But when God is removed and the moral center of society begins to shift away from Him, the quality of education goes down and it has continued going down ever since.
If you don’t believe what I’ve written, look up the ACT scores from the 1950s. Then look up the range of scores from the 60s and it is trending downward.
God and His teachings from the Bible are essential to education and its effectiveness. Without His laws written in our hearts by reading and studying them, our society will fall and it is doing that now. I pray that parents and grandparents will begin to read the Bible to their children and grandchildren now before it is too late.
I’ve asked many people in the past and even recently, “How are you doing?”. Most tell me they are fine or OK but are they really? We get so used to giving people quick answers to questions like this when deep down we really aren’t doing as well as we try to make it seem. Most people don’t know each other very well these days so an answer like this is just accepted and “no harm, no foul”. But what about you?
Sometimes I have expressed exactly how I feel and people look at me like something is growing out of my ear. If we actually are honest with each other would that make a difference in the world? Maybe. So, are you really okay?
God loves you and He cares about you. It doesn’t matter to Him if you are feeling down or if you are on top of the world. He will always be there with you either way. IF you have given your heart to Him and live by that decision every day then your life can be OK every day. Wake up by giving Him praise for letting you have another day to serve Him. Life is too short to look at things the way that the world looks at them. Most of the world seems to think that the sun rotates around them and the whole world is their oyster.
What good is having the whole world today, right now, and then spending eternity in hell? Have you ever considered how long that is? Most of us won’t live for one hundred years and that’s not even equivalent to the blink of your eye when compared to eternity. Even the lifetimes of Noah and Adam don’t count much when compared to eternity and both of them lived for more than 900 years!
I pray that everyone who reads this will seek Jesus to be their Savior soon because we are living at the edge of the Tribulation.
For many years, many of us were in debt. Today there are many who are in debt to banks and credit cards and to the government and to so many other things. Some are so attached to drugs and sex and fame and popularity that they can’t get away from their social media for even five minutes. Why? Our world and many of the people in it are so locked into these media systems that even one or two small things that are negative can cause them to consider suicide. Even small things can bring a very dark feeling into their inner being.
If you don’t know about Jesus when this darkness comes, you will search everywhere for something to get rid of it. Many people do this and they will go down some even darker paths than they should and they are searching for a way to get out of the darkness. But…Satan is leading them in the wrong direction since he can pose as an angel of light.
You are in debt to Jesus for the debt that He paid for you. You should work for Him after you’ve given your heart to Him because He is the Light of the World. It is His Light that brings people out of the darkness. He is the only One that can bring peace and light into this world of darkness and pain that we live in. Jesus paid the debt for ALL of us, whether we accept His gift of grace and love or not is our part in our individual salvation. We feel the touch of the Holy Spirit that convicts us about our need for salvation. It is our acceptance of this knowledge and our act of accepting it into our hearts that brings us to be saved.
If you decide that you would rather live your life in sin by walking away from your conviction of being a sinner, then you will likely never be brought back to being convicted that you need salvation.
I pray that this doesn’t happen to many people. I pray that when they are called and convicted of their need for salvation that they can’t turn away from it. God loves each of us and when His Holy Spirit touches your heart and shows you that you need Jesus, I pray that you will accept it and then take your gift of salvation and tell others about it. Tell them why they need Him because all of us need Him for our salvation. The Son of God died for our sins and we shouldn’t look down on His sacrifice by turning away from it.
He LOVES you!
