SPECIAL EDITION
( "CAPTAIN PLANET" )
Scripture Reading--1 Corinthians 3:16, 17
Last night as I was preparing today's devotion on "Temperance" ( temptation ), I always share it on Facebook as well. It allows me to give my own thoughts but only held part of it and the majority got cut off....isn't that funny when we are sharing the truth the devil gets busy to make sure people can't see it....hmmm!
The devotion gave the story of a mouse who smelt a special kind of peanut butter on a trap...well you know what happened to him. Since I could not save what I shared I will try to do it from memory.
"THE DEVILS DINERS"
( 1 ) His Subtleties.....Gen. 3:1...."more subtil than any beast of the field..." ( made Eve doubt ). Satan is not going to put "SIN" in big neon lights to say, "HEY! THIS IS WRONG, PASS ON BY, but rather, "COME ON IN, WE'RE HAVING A GREAT TIME".
( 2 ) His Specialties.....1 John 2:16; Romans 1:18-32 ( lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, pride of life)....but don't forget the consequences.
( 3 ) Your Sacrifice.....James 4:17
I also gave this example: CARTOONS
In this case we will deal with the all-intriguing "Captain Planet".
( Please pay close attention Dad and Mom )
This cartoon has the forefront of being a great toon for kids in that it is teaching your kids to take care of planet earth ( Mother Earth ) as some may say. First, we see "Mother Gaia", is encased in a crystal and "SHE" is heart-broken over how people are not taking care of the planet. "SHE" sends out "five" rings ( EARTH, WIND, WATER, FIRE, and HEART ), to five teens on five different continents. As these teens have done all they can they finally realize they are going to need some help from someone greater than they, so they call upon the rings to summon....you got it..."Captain Planet". Captain Planet saves the day and the teens are congratulated for a job well done. At the end of the show you are given a tip on how to conserve our planet. Sounds great doesn't it.
!NOW PAY CLOSE ATTENTION!
In the words of many Preachers of our time...."Satan seldom entertains...he indoctrinates."
let's begin:
( #1 ) "Mother Gaia", who is the spirit of the earth, is encased in a crystal ( involvement with the "New Age Movement" ) is introduced to your child for many if not all New Agers believe in crystal power. Also here we see the introduction of a "feminine deity" and an authoritative change which I will show you a little later.
( #2 ) "Five Rings" ( EARTH, WIND, WATER, FIRE, and HEART ), the elements of witchcraft used by covens ( a coven is "13" witches ).....hmmm! Hope you're catching on.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12
( #3 ) The five teens from five different continents:
Wheeler ( North America )
Linka ( Eastern Europe )
Gi ( Asia )
Kwame ( Africa )
Ma-Ti ( South America )
represent crossing cultural and ethnic diversities and "uniting" for a common cause which is what all New Agers want....they want us to be "tolerant" of all and just get along for the better of mankind....ding ding ding....sound familiar in our day and time!!!!
2 Corinthians 6:17
"SHE", mother Gaia "transports" these teens to her wonderful home place called "Hope Island" Here she teaches the teens of "their" powers and the passion needed to save the earth!
( #4 ) When the teens come against controversy and realize they can't do it on their own, they call upon the powers ( elements ) of the five rings to summons their greatest hero....Captain Planet!! This "pseudo-saviour" of the earth does not come flying from above such as Superman, or flying in his invisible airplane, such as Wonder Woman, but protrudes upward out of the earth's crust to save the day!
Revelations 20:1-3
In the end when "Captain Planet and the "Planeteers" are finished saving "Mother Earth" he anounces "The Power is Yours" and dissapears into thin air and the power ( elements ) back into the rings.
Many will say, "Bro. Mark, you're reading to much into it." Am I??? here's a website that i just looked up today...see for yourself:

Dear Christian friends, this is sent out from my personal experience as a 24 year old Bible College student, now 39 who had to learn the hard way...I was dining at the Devils table and did not even know it....i was ignorant of the devil's devices...I pray that thru this personal testimony you will not have to suffer the same.
Psalm 121:1,2
