IDENTITY CONFUSION - the culture‘s subtle message to the next generation

Today's culture is very quietly but yet forcefully inducting the next generation into a state of identity confusion. This is not relegated to the non-believing generation, Christian men and women are also the target and they are getting hit hard. The Apostle Paul wrote "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ". 

The current educational system and trends on social media are trying to change the next generation's identity. Through propaganda they are repeating the same message which over time, no matter big the lie, can become someone's truth. Repetition is key. Ideas, philosophies, and deceptions repeated over time and never refuted are accepted in the subconscious mind as truth.

Over time these ideas form strongholds. A stronghold is a faulty thinking pattern based on lies and deception. Deception is the primary weapon of the devil. The enemy builds to build brick by brick, a wall of lies, with inaccurate ideas about God, self, and others. 

The three greatest weapons the enemy uses against individuals are: deception, temptation, and accusations. 

Spiritual strongholds begin with a thought, it then becomes a consideration which develops into an attitude. An attitude leads into action, which repeated over time becomes a habit. And a habit establishes a power base for the enemy.
