Words Matter - The Twisting Of Human Language By Satan’s Useful Idiots
Satan’s greatest trick has been to convince people that he doesn’t exist.
And these days, things are to the point that he feels like he’s done such a good job, that he can drop the mask because he’s fooled the masses.
He uses the obvious choices, like Hollywood… and this bizarre performance from the Grammy Awards:
What if we told you that was just beginners stuff?
There’s a much more intense spiritual battle going on, involving small twists of language and meaning, done over and over again, so that Satan can keep “sneaking one in” on everyone by normalizing behavior, making things that are bad sound good, deceiving those who are not spiritually aware.
Before we continue, let’s get some context with scripture.
Starting with Isaiah 5:20:
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
The changing of definitions and meanings of words has been a work in progress for over a century in the United States, and even longer in other parts of the world.
Here’s a basic breakdown for you to keep handy:
If you’re not familiar with Black’s Law Dictionary, you should become familiar with it as soon as possible… it happens to be the most frequently used legal dictionary in the United States.
(Editor’s Note: The 4th edition is the best one, and you can get an online version for free by clicking here.)
Why is this important?
Because not only does Satan know scripture better than you do, his minions and useful idiots are well versed in working to keep people ignorant from the meaning of words.
Remember: when God created, he SPOKE.
When we pray, we SPEAK.
Words Matter.
Let’s take a look at a familiar term in Black’s Law Dictionary, so you can see just how bad this is:
Were you aware that a mandate is not a law?
It becomes binding ONLY WHEN YOU AGREE TO IT.
Let that sink in for a moment… and think about COVID.
Now, let’s look at one more.
Have you heard the line “Corporations are not people?”
Well, guess what?
Looks like they are people after all.
Words Matter.
As believers, we don’t get a pass for not taking the time to understand this… or Scripture… or that false teachers are amongst us deceiving millions of people.
As we’re told in Romans 10:14:
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
And in Ezekiel 33:2-6:
2. Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,
3. and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people,
4. then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head. 5. Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves.
6. But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’
And in 2 Peter 2:1:
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
We’ll take a look at a few more examples in a moment.
A quick message from our co-publishers, Julianna Ormond and RC Williams:

We recently broke down Joe Biden’s proclamation for a “transgender day of visibility,” which provides us great context for this discussion, and another perfect example of Satan’s ability to twist words.
Here’s our breakdown of the proclamation:
“Transgender Day of Visibility celebrates the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know — people who have too often had to put their jobs, relationships, and lives on the line just to be their true selves. Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect. Their courage has given countless others strength, but no one should have to be brave just to be themselves. Every American deserves that freedom.”
Commentary: Hard Stop.
Within the first paragraph, we see the first lie of Satan. The statement “just to be their true selves” runs counter to scripture on who, and what, we truly are.
As we are told in Genesis 1:26-27:
26. Furthermore God said, Let us make man in our image according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the beasts, and over all the earth, and over everything that creepeth and moveth on the earth.
27. Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.
Let’s continue with the proclamation.
“Transgender Americans shape our Nation’s soul — proudly serving in the military, curing deadly diseases, holding elected office, running thriving businesses, fighting for justice, raising families, and much more. As kids, they deserve what every child deserves: the chance to learn in safe and supportive schools, to develop meaningful friendships, and to live openly and honestly. As adults, they deserve the same rights enjoyed by every American, including equal access to health care, housing, and jobs and the chance to age with grace as senior citizens.”
Commentary: Hard Stop.
Joe Biden has made the decision to invoke the soul of the UNITED STATES, and to single out that men who think they are women, and women who think they are men, SHAPE the soul of the United States.
He’s not the first to believe this, though, and it’s why he was able to make the statement… which mocks God.
As we’re shown in Galatians 6:7:
7. Be not deceived: God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
And in Jude 1:18-19:
18. How that they told you that there should be mockers in the last time, which should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19. These are they that separate themselves from others, natural, having not the Spirit.
But, this statement wasn’t just about the soul of a country, it’s about all of our souls and how and where the word is used.
Remember, Satan knows scripture better than us… and he uses it, like he is doing with the current resident of the WHITE HOUSE.
As we are shown in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15:
14. And no marvel: for Satan himself is transformed into an Angel of light.
15. Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transform themselves, as though they were the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.
By using weak vessels, Satan preys on God’s human creation, manipulates us, and steals our souls. The consequences are eternal.
Let’s continue with the proclamation.
“Meanwhile, we are also working to ease the tremendous strain that discrimination, bullying, and harassment can put on transgender children — more than half of whom seriously considered suicide in the last year. The Department of Education is, for example, helping ensure that transgender students have equal opportunities to learn and thrive at school, and the Department of Justice is pushing back against extreme laws that seek to ban evidence-based gender-affirming health care.”
There is much more to do. I continue to call on the Congress to finally pass the Equality Act and extend long-overdue civil rights protections to all LGBTQI+ Americans to ensure they can live with safety and dignity. Together, we also have to keep challenging the hundreds of hateful State laws that have been introduced across the country, making sure every child knows that they are made in the image of God, that they are loved, and that we are standing up for them.
America is founded on the idea that all people are created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout their lives. We have never fully lived up to that, but we have never walked away from it either. Today, as we celebrate transgender people, we also celebrate every American’s fundamental right to be themselves, bringing us closer to realizing America’s full promise.”
Commentary: Hard Stop.
This is a sly twist of the word of God, as we see in the parable of the sower and the choking thorns.
Every child is made in the image of God, as we were told in Genesis 1:26-27:
26 Furthermore God said, Let us make man in our image according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over the beasts, and over all the earth, and over everything that creepeth and moveth on the earth.
27 Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female.
Which, in the context Joe Biden chose to use it, proves then that there’s no need for gender affirming care, because God has already affirmed the gender of every child, in his image.
See what Satan did there?
As you can see, the prince of darkness is hard at work.
If you’re thinking, “that’s too much, please stop…” not to worry…
There’s more:
Yes, you’re reading that correctly.
Chinese nationals are using American surrogates to bear their children. Thanks to in vitro fertilization, they don’t even need to leave China.
And right on the heels of that, is this:
Here’s a quote from the article:
But the ability to make egg cells without human ovaries would apply not only to people who are designated female at birth. This March, Hayashi, who is not currently trying to make a human egg, had another announcement: his lab had repeated the I.V.G. process in mice, but this time it had produced fertilized embryos whose egg cells had been developed using stem cells from male mice—“mice with two dads,” as the headline in Nature put it. Futurists have speculated about broader possibilities, such as an embryo formed with the DNA of four people instead of two, or even a so-called “unibaby,” the result of a person reproducing with herself.
Wow.
That’s playing God… and that’s not good.
We’re told about that in scripture:
But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
And in Romans 1:21-22:
21. Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was full of darkness.
22.When they professed themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Sadly, this also fits in with our coverage of Satan’s war against women back in March:
It’s more important than ever before that we remain vigilant in the word of God. We’re seeing a “full scatter attack” from Satan, where thing, after thing, after thing, is being thrown at us, in an effort to demoralize and confuse us.
DON’T LET HIM DO IT. This means we’re closer than ever before to God’s glory and Satan knows this is his last chance.
Those who are lost or seeking need us to be able to talk about things like this and connect the dots to our, their current reality.
Up next, we’ll introduce you to some power warriors for the Lord in this fight, and hopefully provide you some inspiration.

Church Leaders, It's Your Time of Action
The Powerful Pastor From North Carolina
As Watchmen, it’s also a great feeling to be able to share some good news, including those helping to lead the fight for the Kingdom against these evil forces.
Our co-publishers, Julianna Ormond & RC Williams, were able to spend time this week at Lake Church, located in White Lake, North Carolina.
Pastor Cameron McGill (“Pastor Cam”) and his congregation are fighting mightily in the spirit to make people aware of what’s happening, and the fact that it’s “all in the book.”
Pastor Cam also serves as a Bladen County Commissioner, providing something needed now more than ever in our governance: The Church.
Additionally, he traveled with David Lane and the American Renewal Project in an effort to get Pastors running for office. Here’s a feature on Pastor Cam and the American Renewal Project:
Please support our sponsor, 4Patriots.
You need to be prepared… there’s just too much crazy stuff happening.
We’ve found the 4Patriots solar generators to be light and easy to use. Plus, they are quiet and don’t require fuel.
You’re able to power key things like your fridge, freezer, coffee maker, and more.
The Power Of Biblically Based Investing: The Timothy Plan
Art Ally and the team at The Timothy Plan recently celebrated their 29th anniversary. In sitting with Art on the actual day, he shared something with us that’s a key Kingdom principle:
“They said I was crazy and we would never make it.”
The lesson: When God calls you, nothing else matters. Be obedient.
Here’s a clip with Art and Mike Huckabee that makes it all make sense:
Liberty Pastors: The Power of Biblical Principles of Civil Government and The Black Robe Regiment
Paul Blair & Dan Fisher, co-pastors of Liberty Church Edmond (Oklahoma) and Liberty Church Orlando (Florida) have also taken steps to make sure that the church is driving the culture, not the other way around.
As Paul Blair says, “What Part Of Your Life Is Jesus Not Lord Over?”
Everything matters.
And through their efforts with the Liberty Pastors Network and Bootcamps, over 1300 pastors from around the United States have been empowered to get engaged.
Here’s a look at The Liberty Pastors Network:
Pastor Dan Fisher has also created a powerful addition to the ministry, through his knowledge of history, and collection of antiques from the past.
He’s turned that into a special presentation, “Bringing Back The Black Robe Regiment,” where he tells the story of our War for Independence through the eyes of Peter Muhlenberg, a clergyman and solider.
This presentation is worth every minute:
A Great Steward Of History
Bill Federer is another powerful fighter for the cause, and a power speaker, publisher, and historian. His first book “America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations” has sold over a half-million copies, and he teaches on a vast number of topics.
He’s also been involved with the Geneva Bible Project, which is dedicated to reconnecting us with the version of the Bible that the pilgrims brought with them to the new world, and the first version created for the average person. Our co-publishers utilize these revised Geneva Bibles, and are huge advocates.
Here’s Bill with our friend Dr. Rick Scarborough discussing our values and liberties:
