1st Samuel 21:12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 13 And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
Whenever persons reach into satan’s vault, and adopt any of his protocols, and productions they are bowing down. And bowing down could take place deliberately or it can occur inadvertently or ignorantly. For instance, a person who believes in evolution is bowing down to a philosophy that was concocted in the laboratories of the devil, even though many people may not be aware of this. When politicians tell blatant lies to get elected, they are bowing down,
That’s because they have utilized ways, and means that satan recognizes as his very own. If some preachers, and televangelists water down the truths of God’s word, to satisfy the itching ears of a congregation, they are bowing down, because they are in many instances, distorting truth for monetary gain. When David pretended to be a mad man, in order to save his life, after he was exposed as the person who had killed Goliath, he bowed down. That’s because pretension is a methodology coming from satan’s playbook.
And if politicians come out in support of what they know is wrong, because they are afraid of the dear leader, such as Kim, they too are bowing down, for they are sacrificing principle to remain in Kim’s good favors, lest they be excommunicated from office. Thus, it is important for us to understand that most of the temporal blessings God gives to the earth’s inhabitants, if they obey Him with the willing heart and mind, are also offered by the prince of darkness in exchange for them bowing down, in some form or another. For instance, God gives us promotions, but satan offers promotions too.
Psalms 75:6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7 But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
