Curse of Harold Ballard & Satan's Lures

Just as the "Curse of Harold Ballard" continues to plague the Toronto Maples Leafs, so too does the curse of Trudeau-mania continue to plague Canada. A team and a country graced with so much talent continues to stumble and falter. Ballard hated the "10 Pillars of Communism" while both Trudeau legacies embraced them.

The rise of Asian economies was no accident. Yes, Western capital and greed seeded Asia's rise to power and success, but Asian countries stood fast on one peril. That peril is multiculturalism. Being all things to all people, permitting minorities to rule over the majority, and allowing for the creation of a multitudinous category of people and sexes, has shaken the very core of Western Christian Capitalism.

When you allow plastic surgery to be performed on a country, you end up masking its true potential. Embrace the change that immigration presents but do not allow change to change the fabric of a nation.

Just as a maple leaf points in all directions, so too does the vision of Canada. Myopia creates only confusion. What is extremely tragic is that NDP MPs continue to support Jagmeet Singh, a political leader who is directly responsible for the destruction of Canada, by his support of Justin Trudeau. Both securing their treason at the expense of Canadians.

Enticing Lures that are Used to Snare Us!

... there are only a few ...
... the way to recognize and defeat them

Paul uses fishing terms to describe conceptually that Satan likes to fish and that he has specific types of lures he uses to try to catch us (“the fish”). As with any fisherman, not all lures work on all fish all the time. If one lure doesn’t work, he then switches to another lure and sees if that works. He will use variations of the few basic lures in his tackle box until he finds one that we bite and then he tries to real us in. Once you are on a hook, you’ll be bombarded with more and more lures as his goal is to drive you away from following the Holy Spirit. How do we know that Satan is a fisherman (literally fishing for men) and the type of lures he uses? 

Paul tells us in Eph 6:11 where Paul says “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”.  That word “wiles” that Paul uses originates from a Hebrew word that refers to a hook or something that is barred including any type of trap. Our word fishhook comes from this Greek word. Satan therefore has different hooks he uses in order to entrap us.

Let’s look at the lures in Satan’s tacklebox:

Lure 1: Satan’s strategy of deception and lies
Lure 2: Satan’s strategy of temptation
Lure 3: Satan’s strategy of oppression
Lure 4: Satan’s strategy of accusation
Lure 5: Satan’s strategy of distracting our thoughts
