And this episode, I take a journey through what my life has been like turning eighteen. It was only my first semester of college in my life when everything had turned upside down along with the rest of the world because of the pandemic. Take a listen to hear about all the crazy life transitions that I had and how the lord was in it through it all, even if I couldn't see it.

B.U.S.Y- Being Under Satan's Yoke

Satan's List on How to Keep Believers from Being Spiritually Successful

1. Keep them busy with non-essentials.

2. Tempt them to overspend and go into debt.

3. Make them work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles. (Talked about in video on Japan)

4. Discourage them from spending family time, for when homes disintegrate there's for refuge from work. (Talked about in video on Japan)

5. Overstimulate their minds with television, computers, social media, and cell phones so they can't hear God speaking to them.

(Very Dangerous!)

6. Fill their Facebook and Instagram with fake news, controversial opinion posts, and tantalizing images so they have no time for Bible reading.

(Very Dangerous!)

Final 6-

7. Flood their mailboxes and emails with sweepstakes, promotions, and get-rich-quick schemes; keep them chasing material things.

8. Put glamorous models on TV, magazine covers, internet ads, pages to keep them focused on outward appearances; that way they'll be dissatisfied with themselves and their mates.

9. Make sure they are too exhausted for physical intimacy; that way they'll be tempeted to look elsewhere.

10. Emphasize Santa and the Easter Bunny, to divert them from the real meaning of the holidays.

11. Involve them in "good" causes so they won't have time for "eternal" ones.

12. Make them self-sufficient. Keep them so busy working in their own strength that they'll never know the joy of God's power working through them.
