Do you have your armor on? Your spiritual armor. Are you prepared to defend yourself from attack? From spiritual attack.
Dephcon Six is a website hoping to ready Christian believers in combating these attacks and for traversing this world through exposing the darkness. By comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences of words, ideas, and thoughts encountered in the Holy Bible, pop culture, science, politics, and more, this website intends to fuel the believer in the power and authority found in Jesus Christ.
In other words, filtering the world through a biblical worldview with the hope of a Holy Spirit-filled solution to every problem.
Worldview is the mental framework we harness to decipher and process the stimuli affecting our senses from the world around us. This thought processing leads us to think, respond, and behave in a particular manner.
Someone who holds a biblical worldview, for example, cements the Holy Bible as the basis or foundation for how they interpret the world (i.e. worldview). This way, the Word of God governs how they think, act, and process the world around them.
But the ruler of this world, Satan and his world system, will do all they can to corrupt our worldview. But as Paul states in Romans 12:2, we need to prevent the world from influencing our worldview and maintain our biblical worldview by continuously renewing our mind in Christ Jesus.
The warfare that Christians experience in their walk with the Lord is spiritual, as Paul discusses in Ephesians 6:12. Our fight is not against the people who mock us, scoff at our beliefs, or worse. It is against the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and the wicked spiritual hosts in the heavenly places.
These nefarious entities wage war on the human spirit through various means. They seek to affect believers and non-believers alike via worldly institutions such as; informational media sources (news, movies, music, etc), educational systems, and politics. But all is not lost in fighting these seditious spirits.
In Matthew 10:16, Jesus tells us He sends us out amid wolves, therefore, we need to be as wise as serpents yet as harmless as doves. We are to realize the ways, ingenuity, and cunningness of the serpent (i.e. Satan as detailed in Genesis 3).
Determining this wisdom or understanding allows us to discern the identity of these wolves, the ones executing Satan’s schemes, and expose them and their plans. Yet we must not act upon this knowledge for our own gain. We need to share the identities of these wolves and their tactics with others as Paul explains to us in Ephesians 5:11-13.
How can we expose these fruitless deeds unless we comprehend them? Reworded, if we do not know something is a fruitless deed of darkness, how can we expose them to others? The Lord already sees what they are doing as told in Proverbs 15:3.
Paul warns us about the schemes of the devil in 2 Corinthians 2:11 where he informs us to not be ignorant of Satan’s methods or he will take advantage of us. We need to be wide awake, watchful, and vigilant.
Hopefully, by revealing these devices, it will prevent others from pursuing their darkened path and look towards the light of truth, and lead these wolves to the truth of Jesus so they may repent and realize that the wages of sin is death.
The Holy Bible comprises 66 books written by approximately 40 authors on three different continents in three distinct languages, revealing a cohesive and consistent story of the love God holds for His creation. This love story’s ultimate goal is the individual reader’s realization of the need for a savior and the requirement for calling on the name above every name. We cannot do it on our own. People have tried for millennia and have failed. Myself included. It wasn’t until I realized I was sick, broken and in need of a healer, a savior, that I called on the name above every name, the name of Jesus.
Once an individual accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior and His Holy Spirit dwells within them, the Holy Bible comes alive and transforms into a teaching manual with courses in the material (physical) world and the immaterial (spiritual) world. It is within these two worlds in which we all live and it is the intersection of these two worlds where this website will take up residency.
Coming to Jesus Christ is not where the love story ends. It is where it begins.
I do not have the Bible memorized. I am not a theologian. I am not a pastor. I am not an elder or a deacon. What I am is a sinner saved by the blood of the lamb, Jesus of Nazareth. I sadly still sin, but I realize I’m a work in progress, being molded by the Lord. Once I recognize sin in my life, I repent, reset, and refocus on the Lord. As it is only by His grace by which I am saved.
Thankfully, the Lord no longer sees me as a sinner but as a saint, as Paul the apostle shares in 1 Corinthians 1:2. Therefore, my identity is no longer that of a sinner but as a saint who sins.
I believe His word, our Bible, was written by men filled with the Holy Spirit to assist believers in all of life’s situations as Paul describes in 2 Timothy 3:16.
And whatever I write on this site, please check it against His Holy Bible.
If you’ve embarked on this journey with God by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I pray this site edifies and strengthens you in your walk with the Lord.
