SHEMAIAH – PART 5
THE SPIRIT OF UNBELIEF
The spirit of unbelief, the Shemaiah class of demons, stays hidden from exposure, but “his” works are clearly manifested in our society today. This spirit of unbelief in God is pervasive throughout western civilization, but I will speak of its influence in America.
There is a “secular religion” called humanism. It is a godless philosophy that was being developed in Chicago in the 1920’s. They published “A Humanist Manifesto” in 1933 which denied the supernatural, denied that man could be saved by any higher supreme being, said that man was inherently good by nature, and established its tenets as a philosophical religion.
The bottom line is that it establishes man as his own god. They feel each person can determine what is good and that all war will eventually end as we all come together. As a “side note” they totally believe in a woman’s right to abort her baby in the womb if she so chooses.
The humanist philosophy denies the existence of God. It plants doubts about God in the minds of people, especially the younger ones. I believe the spirit of Shemaiah was the influence upon the people who formed this “godless religion” of humanism.
The original Humanist Manifesto was written in 1933 by Roy Wood Sellars and Raymond Bragg with 34 prominent people signing endorsements to it. One of those was John Dewey, a philosopher and educational reformer. In fact, he is often considered the “father of modern education.” It was through his “reforming” of education that the humanist philosophy was introduced into American education at all levels.
This is most evident in our universities. Many students that enter college with a concept of God end up after their four years of schooling coming out disbelieving in God. This has always been the goal of Shemaiah. Even many “church sponsored” private colleges have sold out to this.
The spirit of unbelief has become so pervasive in society and government that Christianity is being viewed with contempt. In fact, our FBI and Homeland Security have now identified evangelical Christians as potential terrorists against the government.
The spirit of unbelief now has a stronghold in America, and also on the world all over. True Christian faith is the wall that has held back the emergence of “The Man of Sin”, the Anti-Christ. Shemaiah has been quietly and effectively tearing down that wall. Revealing of the Anti-Christ is just over the horizon.
Now is the time we must be drawing closely and intimately to Jesus in the “Secret Place” of the Most High. (Psalm 91.) This will keep unbelief out of our lives.
