“in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.” – 2 Corinthians 2:11, NIV
In this episode, we’re going to pull back the curtain — not to accuse, not to sensationalize — but to discern.
What gods are being served in America?
What altars have been built in plain sight?
And what would it take to tear them down?

Spiritual Beings
When I speak about the gods, which are from Satan’s kingdom, I am not talking about demons. False gods are not demons. They are extremely powerful beings who are ranked higher than demons and have more authority than demons.
Before we can zoom in on the gods, I think it would be beneficial to zoom out and take a look at some of the different categories of spiritual beings in general.
God spells out components of the hierarchy of the spiritual beings for us in Ephesians 6:12, Colossians 1:16, and Daniel 4, just to name a few. This list is not exhaustive, but I think it’s a good starting point for us. When it comes to the spiritual beings listed in those areas of scriptures we see Angels, Demons, Powers, Dominions, Principalities/Rulers, Thrones, Watchers, and False Gods.
Let’s take a quick look at each of these one by one.
Demons
I’m gonna start with demons because they are the only spiritual beings in this list that were not created by God. Demons are disembodied spirits that were created here on earth from the mixing of spiritual beings with humans. They are abominations and when they died, they were stripped of their bodies so their goal is to inhabit human bodies, and they do this for multiple reasons. Since they originated on earth, they are bound here and cannot leave this planet.
There are sin induced demons like lust, anger, murder, rage, perversion, hatred, violence, addiction etc. Then there are the trauma induced demons and their names are tied to actions, functions, or feelings like fear, anguish, rejection, abandonment, pain, depression, loneliness, etc.
Angels
Angels are a class of spiritual beings that we tend to lump all heavenly beings into but the term angel refers to a job and there are different types of angels. There are healing angels, ministering angels, warrior angels, angels of finance, powers angels, and the list goes on.
Powers
Powers are groups of demons that are governed by authorities. There are six authorities that operate worldwide and each continent has at least one authority that is unique to it. Rita Cabezas shares the name of each of them in her book Defeating Demonic Principalities.
Rulers
Rulers are next. The term Rulers is often interchangeable with Principality. Principalities and Rulers are different from demons because Principalities and Rulers govern dimensions, each with its own natural, physical, and spiritual laws. Some of these dimensions are far away from Earth and its atmosphere. This shouldn’t surprise us because when God created His children, humans, what did He do? He gave us a place to rule and govern. There are holy principalities and demonic ones.
Thrones
Thrones are multifaceted. They are an order of angels that can operate as both beings and actual ceremonial seats where people of power sit and rule from. Thrones are what guard some altars. When a demonic prince has been set over a region, they oversee the powers in that region, which means that someone has to guard the altar which is the seat of power. Thrones are the spiritual beings that guard the altars and they erect a shield around it that can be penetrated by the gatekeeper of that territory.
Watchers
Watchers (Dan 4). The next type of spiritual being are watchers, which are observers. Watchers are guardians of the earth that oversee specific nations and regions. While they oversee the things that are happening in the world, they don’t usually interfere. A friend of mine and I traveled outside of the continental US and one morning while she was outside praying, the watcher from that region visited her. The watcher introduced herself to my friend and told her what she does. My friend came back inside and was like, “girl what’s a watcher.”
False gods
False gods are spiritual beings who God assigned to oversee certain areas and matters, but they have since fallen. Their fall was usually after taking worship for themselves. These are occult level demonic beings and they go by proper names like Lucifer, Baal, Molech, Dagon, Diana, Asherah, Hermes, Osiris, Horus, Apollo, Atlas, Minerva, Ishtar who also goes by Aphrodite, Thor, Loki, Oden, and the list goes on.
False gods have spiritual bodies so they have no need to be inside of a human body. BUT they are limited because a body is what allows man to have dominion here! Because the false gods don’t have bodies they don’t have dominion nor do they have the ability to survive here. So how have they been around on earth for so long???
When looking at the hierarchy as a whole, demons and powers attack individuals and families, while the higher ranking evil powers like dominions, thrones, rulers, and false gods rule over and influence communities, regions, systems, nations, and continents.
Satan stole God’s dynastic hierarchy and perverted it for use in his kingdom. Some people don’t like to admit that Satan has a kingdom but in Matthew 12:25-26, CSB Jesus gives insight into this. He says, “Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?” Satan has a kingdom—a highly organized one.
These different levels of Satan’s kingdom serve different functions. Satan created his kingdom to attack people, systems, land, nations, timelines, and generations.
We see God, and Jesus, judge some of the gods in Psalm 82, CSB for guiding the nations into wickedness. It says:
God stands in the divine assembly; he pronounces judgment among the gods: “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?Selah
Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
Rescue the poor and needy;
save them from the power of the wicked.”
They do not know or understand;
they wander in darkness.
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
I said, “You are gods;
you are all sons of the Most High.
However, you will die like humans
and fall like any other ruler.”
Rise up, God, judge the earth,
for all the nations belong to you.
In this text, we see the gods being judged for their corrupt administration over nations.
God had a divine council or assembly of gods which are called Elohim. They are not a replacement to the Trinity, nor do they add to it. While God is among the council, He is superior to them as He is superior to everything and every created being. So are Jesus and the Holy Spirit. God doesn’t need a council, but scripture makes it clear that He has and uses one. This shouldn’t be surprising to us because God likes collaboration. We see this concept illustrated throughout scripture.
Alright, now that we have established that lower “g” gods exist. Let’s keep going. When we get a little further down in the timeline of history we see the worship of gods.
Despite God telling the Israelites not to engage in the practices of those they took the promised land from, they almost immediately began embracing ritualistic practices and worshiping the gods of the Canaanites. Their practices were overt and of a knowing nature. They did all sorts of terrible ritualistic practices in order to worship and serve these gods. That is how these gods were enthroned over regions and nations.
Then something magnificent happened that changed everything. The gospel came into the world and Jesus, his disciples, and apostles blew their spot up! Jesus started teaching on the kingdom of darkness and casting out demons, the disciples went out two by two and they cast out demons, and the Apostle Paul began exposing false gods and idols as demons. In 1 Corinthians 10, he made it plain that the food people were sacrificing to their gods, was actually being sacrificed to demons.
So for a time, the worship of false gods dwindled, especially the open worship of them. This resulted in the loss of territory for them and their kingdom. In order for these gods to establish a foothold over nations again, they needed to rebrand themselves and make the worship of them covert, inadvertent, and palatable. Not just palatable but appealing and enticing.
We as humans enthrone these gods spiritually by serving them. The Hebrew word for serve (1 Sam 12:10) is ābad. It means “to do work for” and “to be led and enticed to serve.” We don’t have to know that the work we’re doing is in service of the gods. Doing the work is sufficient to be considering “serving” them.
Think about it like this. If a person agrees to deliver a package for their friend to a store, and the police pull them over and do a drug bust and find drugs in that package, that person is still on the hook for drug trafficking.
This is how the serving of false gods works. False gods get humans to serve them in very direct ways, the human just doesn’t know that what they are doing is in service to a false god. And that service of those gods is done in a process that is often referred to as the way of the altar. When humans serve false gods, they are servicing the altar of that god.
The Way of the Altar
I did a deep dive on Altars in a series and linked to it in the episode description and show notes. Every altar needs three things: priesthood, sacrifice, and a governing spirit that responds to the altar.
In general, an altar is a place where people engage with spirits. It serves as a gateway or a portal between the spiritual realm and the physical realm.
Priests are the people who service altars. They are the ones offering sacrifices to the spirit that governs the altar. The type of activity at the altar is what draws a particular spirit being to that altar, because each spirit has an appetite. They want certain things.
1 Peter 2:5, AMP lets us know that we as followers of Christ are a holy and dedicated priesthood that offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable and pleasing to God, and we do this through Jesus Christ because He is the mediator of the new covenant.
You [believers], like living stones, are being built up into a spiritual house for a holy and dedicated priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5, AMP
Christians service the altar in their heart to God. He is the spirit that responds to our altars and he likes His priests to offer certain kinds of sacrifices like prayer, worship, praise, giving to the poor, time, etc.
When it comes to evil altars, remember, these altars don’t require that people intentionally offer sacrifices to the demonic spirits that govern them, they only require that a person intentionally provides what they demand, and every spirit has a specific demand.
That brings me to the spiritual falling away of America.
The Falling Away of America
God was embedded into some of the very foundational fabric of this nation in many ways.
1. The Declaration of Independence.
One of the first places we see God in this country is in the Declaration of Independence which was written in 1776. This is the founding document of this country and it invokes God or His order on four separate occasions:
- First, it references the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God”
- It references the Creator when it says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.”
- It also submits to the “Supreme Judge of the world” by saying “We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions.”
- Finally, it protects the “Divine Providence” of God with this concluding statement, it says: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence.”
2. The Pledge of Allegiance
In addition to the Declaration of Independence there’s the pledge of allegiance written in 1892. And whether you say it or not, this pledge declares that we are one nation under God.
The Declaration of Independence and pledge of allegiance are federal level documents. Now let’s look at the state level.
3. States
Before and after 1776, nearly every state constitution referenced God openly.
- Pennsylvania (1776) required belief in God to hold office. Section 10 of their constitution from 1776 says, “And each member, before he takes his seat, shall make and subscribe the following declaration, viz. ‘I do believe in one God, the creator and governor of the universe, the rewarder of the good and the punisher of the wicked. And I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by Divine inspiration.’”
- Maryland required that state government officials profess that they are Christian. This remained a requirement until around 1826. Article 35 of their constitution of 1776 literally says, “That no other test or qualification ought to be required, on admission to any office of trust or profit, than such oath of support and fidelity to this State, and such oath of office, as shall be directed by this Convention or the Legislature of this State, and a declaration of a belief in the Christian religion.”
That’s just a couple of the states. This matters because States held most of the governing power early on.
In addition to God being embedded into the Declaration of Independence, the pledge of allegiance, and the constitutions of nearly every state, there was also prayer in public schools in the U.S.
4. Prayer in school
From the 18th century until around the mid-20th century, it was common for the school day in most schools to start with prayer.
5. Ten Commandments
Ten Commandments were displayed in schools and government buildings.
During this time, America was a nation that was decidedly a Christian nation and it was proud to be so.
All of this activity matters because a nation’s worship of God and use of His word and laws provide safeguards and a hedge of protection to the land. This means that the best way for the kingdom of darkness to infiltrate a nation is to first separate that nation from their God.
“The nation that turns from God will always turn to other gods. Even if it never utters their names or erects their idols, even if it turns to atheism or a form of secularism, it will always be led to the worship and serving of other gods.” – Jonathan Cahn
So let’s look at the timeline of separation of the United States from God.
Timeline of Separation
● 1950
- We’ll start with the 1950s, which is when the television became a common staple in homes. This is important because television was the primary medium for influencing public opinion. I don’t know if you remember, but television shows were called programs. These shows were used to program how we think. It wasn’t long before shows with witchcraft like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie were introduced to us.
● 1960
- Let’s look at the 1960s.
- In 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision called Engel v. Vitale and in that case, the court ruled that mandatory, school-led prayer was unconstitutional. This meant that State-sponsored prayer was effectively banned from U.S. public schools nationwide.
- Then the very next year in 1963, the S. Supreme Court took it even further and ruled in Abington School District v. Schempp that Public schools cannot sponsor Bible readings and recitations of the Lord’s Prayer because it violates the First Amendment. This was huge because the Bible had always been a part of the American public school system.
Now let’s look at the 1970s which REALLY changed the game for this nation.
● 1970
- Roe vs. Wade. In 1970, Jane Roe, which is a fictional name used in court documents to protect the plaintiff’s identity, but Jane Roe filed a lawsuit against a man by the name of Henry Wade, who was the district attorney of Dallas County, Texas at the time.
Her lawsuit challenged a Texas law that made abortion illegal except by a doctor’s orders to save a woman’s life. In her lawsuit, Roe alleged that the state laws were unconstitutionally vague and they diminished her right of personal privacy, which is protected by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. Yeah, she threw the hammer at them.
But the ultimate question the Supreme Court had to answer was, “Does the Constitution recognize a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy by abortion?”
And answer the question they did. After two rounds of oral arguments, one in 1971 and another in 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court issued the landmark decision of Roe v. Wade in 1973. In the decision, the court ruled that, “The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects against state action the right to privacy, and a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion falls within that right to privacy.
It further ruled that, “In the first trimester of pregnancy, the state may not regulate the abortion decision; only the pregnant woman and her attending physician can make that decision. In the second trimester, the state may impose regulations on abortion that are reasonably related to maternal health.
In the third trimester, once the fetus reaches the point of “viability,” a state may regulate abortions or prohibit them entirely, so long as the laws contain exceptions for cases when abortion is necessary to save the life or health of the mother.”
This was MAJOR. Let’s look at the 1980s.
● 1980s
- Here, we see the removal of the ten commandments from schools after the US Supreme Court decided Stone v. Graham (1980).
I hope you’re seeing a pattern here. The highest court in the nation has been one of THE most effective natural tools used to further spiritual agendas.
● 2000s
- We see the Ten Commandments being removed from some government buildings. Ironically enough, I think the Ten Commandments are actually still displayed in the Supreme Court.
As you can see, the efforts to remove God from the fabric of this nation have been working. This is important, because the spiritual realm doesn’t exist in a vacuum. What I mean by that is when we remove the presence of a spirit, some other spirit is going to fill that space.
The removal of the laws of God and the ways of God left the spiritual doors of this nation open and it allowed for many false gods to come into this land, a land they had previously been forbidden to enter.
The Gods of America and How They Were Enthroned
Now there is a resurgence of ancient demonic forces, including those that controlled Babylon, ancient Egypt, and other nations from the Bible. Some of which have NEVER had access to this nation in the past.
There are many false gods operating in America. There is typically a natural and spiritual component to them being enthroned.
We enthroned these gods because we offered sacrifices to them and served them when we accomplished their agenda. A lot of the service is based on work we were enticed to do for them. And remember, we don’t have to know that the work we’re doing is in service of a false god. Doing the act is sufficient to be considering “serving” them.
I’m going to share three gods of America with you. For each God, we’ll look at where the god appears in scripture, how humans worship and serve each god spiritually, and how we as humans, specifically Americans, cede control to these false gods in the natural realm.
The first false god I want to share that has been enthroned in this nation is Baal.
1. Baal
Baal is spoken of quite a bit in the Bible. He is a false god who was primarily worshipped in Canaan and Phoenicia. Different cultures worshipped him in different ways. To some, he was the god of fertility, to some he was the god of power, to some he was the storm god, and to some he was all of these or a combination of them.
- In scripture. While we see him in scripture many times, one of the most well-known places we see him is in 1 Kings during the confrontation of the prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel when Elijah called down fire from heaven. Elijah had previously declared that there would be no dew or rain, which was a judgment on their god Baal who in their minds, controlled the weather.
- How humans serve him spiritually. The worship of Baal during Bible times involved carnality and vulgarness. For those who believe him to be the god of fertility, their worship involved ritual prostitution which included illicit sex. He was commonly associated with the symbol of the bull.
Across Scripture and ancient Near Eastern culture, Baal represents a package, not just a name:
- Fertility represents productivity, multiplication, sexual power, and abundance.
- Storms / rain point to control over resources, cycles, provision, survival.
- Power / dominance points to kingship, victory, and intimidation.
- Bull imagery represents strength, virility, economic force, untamed power.
- How we cede control naturally. Baal worship didn’t disappear — it migrated, modernized, and became symbolic.
When you look for Baal today, you don’t look for temples —
...look for systems that promise life, provision, and power apart from God.
- Bull on Wall Street. One of the most distinct symbols of Baal in America is the Bull of Wall Street. The Wall Street bull is a modern altar. No one bows or burns incense — but they trust, fear, and obey what it represents. It’s a popular tourist attraction that draws thousands of people every single day.
Behind the bull is an economic system that promises security, provision, and blessing.
I’m not saying the statue was secretly dedicated to Baal or that bankers are KNOWINGLY worshiping an ancient god. I’m also not saying that it’s wrong to invest in the stock market. I am saying that the same spiritual logic behind biblical Baal worship has been resurrected in symbolic form. The Bible calls this idolatry of the heart.
The same spirit is at play, but with a new altar.
- Temple of Baal. Another way that Americans have established a natural agreement with Baal comes in the form of another monument. In 2016, a replica of the Monumental Arch of Palmyra was unveiled in City Hall Park which is located in New York City. You’re probably thinking, “girl, what in the world is the Monumental Arch of Palmyra. Well, it was the entrance to the ancient Temple of Bel (or Baal) in Syria. Why do WE need that in New York City?
The location is also symbolic because it was erected in Lower Manhattan at the entrance to the city’s Financial District. Nearby was Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and the other sign of Baal, which is the Bull of Wall Street.
This arch serves as a spiritual gateway to and from the worship of Baal. This is serious. The kingdom of darkness will almost always use some form of physical representation of a deity when they are taking territory and here we see two.
2. Ishtar
She has been referred to as the Enchantress and the Transformer. Ishtar is often linked to Baal in scripture using one of her other names (Judges 2:13, Judges 10:6, and 1 Sam 12:10).
In the Bible and in culture she is known by many names which is a theme with some of the gods. It’s mostly so that they can appeal more directly to each culture they influence. But some of her other names are the “Queen of Heaven,” Ashtoreth/Ashtaroth. The Greeks call her Aphrodite and the Romans call her Venus which is who the planet is named after.
She has been depicted in imagery as having two horns, she is also a bit different in that she claims to be both a man and a woman, which blurs lines, confuses, and inverts.
- In scripture. In scripture we see her in MANY places because soooo many nations worshipped her. The Canaanites, the Sidonians, the Philistines, the Israelites, the Egyptians, the Moabites, and the Mesopotamians.
She is the goddess of fertility, love, and war. Because she was the goddess of prostitution and sexual promiscuity, the prostitutes of ancient Mesopotamia looked to her as their patron and protector. As the goddess of love, she specializes in love magic and spells.
- How we serve spiritually. Ishtar was worshipped in ancient times through sensuous rituals, including sacred prostitution, sexual orgies in temples, food, the pouring of libations or drink offerings, and the burning of incense.
If we’re going to look for Ishtar worship in today’s times, then we start with looking at things that alter the realm of sexuality—a Sexual Revolution if you will. We should expect biblical standards and ethics surrounding sexuality and marriage to be diminished—standards like marriage, heterosexuality, and abstinence.
We should expect the moral foundations and values that had undergirded this nation since its inception nearly two thousand years ago to begin collapsing.
We should also expect to see sexual and gender confusion. With that in mind priests who serve Ishtar in modern times will look like those who embrace the masculinization of women and the feminization of men.
- How we cede control naturally. We see how she was able to come into this nation from a spiritual perspective, so let’s look now at how we ceded control to this false god from a natural perspective.
- I saw Rihanna posting on her IG that Aphrodite was a savage as she advertised lingerie for her brand Savage X Fenty. Over 1 million people liked it.
- Transgender legislation. The first place I want to highlight is transgender legislation because gender identity attacks the very biology of sex. We recently saw a rise in gender affirming care in children in the US. Gender affirming care in minors allows for puberty blockers or hormone therapy for adolescents. This has since taken a turn for the better in most states.
- Gay marriage laws. Then in 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that states cannot prohibit marriages between two people of the same sex. This ruling happened during the Obama Administration, and his administration decided to turn the White House into a rainbow to symbolize gay pride. I personally believe that this one act at the White House, the official residence and primary workplace of the U.S. President, facilitated a lot of territory being taken by the kingdom of darkness.

Apollyon: The Destroyer
Before I get into the final god of America, I think that there is one demonic power that I should mention who has influenced Americans to serve his agenda, and that is the Destroyer. Apollyon is his name in Greek, but he is also called Abaddon.
- In scripture. We see him in Revelation 9:11, NJKV. It says, “And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.” His name in Hebrew means destruction or ruin.
He is a fallen angelic prince that operates as the minister of death. He is the author of havoc on earth.
- How we serve spiritually. This one is a little different because I don’t know how we actually served his agenda spiritually, but he has been released into this country to wreak havoc.
- How we cede control naturally. What I do know is how we have ceded control to him naturally. A little over one hundred years ago, top military leaders came together and made the decision to name a fleet of U.S. Navy ships. The ships are fast, heavily armed warships designed for multi-mission roles, including anti-air, anti-submarine, and anti-surface warfare.
Can you guess their name? If you guessed Destroyer, then you are correct.
3. Molech
The last god of America I’m covering in this episode is Molech who is also called The Abomination.
- In scripture. 1 Kings 11:7 says, “Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon.” Some other translations switch out the word abomination and use the word detestable instead. But these words are the strongest words God uses to describe what he hates.
- How we serve spiritually. The primary way this false god is worshiped spiritually is through child sacrifice. During Bible times, people would place their children in statues of Molech and set them on fire. The wealthy would purchase babies from poor mothers so they could offer them to Molech as sacrifices. The shedding of innocent blood has always been an abomination to God.
- Abortions. Now we have Americans offering their own children up as sacrifices to this god Molech. These gods have to make what they’re demanding by way of sacrifice look palatable.
So when thinking and plotting, they say, “hmm how can these humans be turned into little murderers of babies?” And when it was all said and done, abortion became the top contender.
From 1973 to 2017, almost 60 million babies in the US alone were aborted. And make no mistake about it. This is a sacrifice because the women are giving their child up in exchange for something, their time, their finances, their social status, their education and career prospects.
I want you to listen to some of the language spoken by supporters of abortion.
In the book titled, The Sacrament of Abortion, author Ginette Paris said, “Our culture needs new rituals as well as laws to restore abortion to its sacred dimension.”
She further stated that “It is not immoral to choose abortion; it is simply another kind of morality, a pagan one.”
She also wrote that “Abortion is a sacrifice,” and stated that “Abortion is a sacred act.”
Abortion clinic owner Sarah Terzo stated in an interview with National Right to Life News that “Abortion [is] a major blessing, and…a sacrament in the hands of women.”
Are you hearing these words? Rituals, sacred, sacrifice, and sacrament. They aren’t just throwing these words around. These words mean something, and they perfectly convey what the speakers are wanting to get across, which is that abortion is spiritual.
And if abortion is spiritual, then what Spirit is the practice feeding?…because we already know how God feels about this.
- How we cede control naturally. Abortion is how we ceded control of this nation to Molech from a spiritual perspective, so let’s look at the natural things we did in this nation to solidify this false god’s taking of U.S. territory.
First we have the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe vs. Wade which ruled that women have the right to chose to have an abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy, among other things.
Then we have the U.S. funding of abortion both domestically and internationally.
Domestically. First, organizations like Planned Parenthood receive significant federal reimbursements through programs such as Medicaid and CHIP — in 2023, this included over $1.5 billion in Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP payments, plus additional federal grants.
Internationally. When it comes to internationally we have the revocation of the Mexico City Rule. The Mexico City Rule is a policy that restricts U.S. global health aid to organizations that provide abortion, counsel on abortion, or refer for it.
In 2021, just days after taking office, President Joe Biden issued an Executive Order revoking this rule and allowing for the US to send aid to organizations to promote and fund abortions.
Under President Trump, the policy restriction on funding was reinstated and expanded to apply to more foreign aid programs.
Let me make this plain. Before President Trump put the Mexico City Rule back in place, this country serviced the evil altar of sacrifice to Molech by funding foreign organizations that fund abortions, we did this to the tune of a billion dollars, AND this country helped fortify Molech’s altars in other countries by funding orgs that provide abortions abroad.
This is extremely problematic and shows just how much territory Molech has in this nation.
The Great War
Let’s bring this home.
False gods don’t gain power because they are stronger than God. They gain power because people agree. In Scripture, idols had no breath, no pulse, no life of their own —but they were empowered through sacrifice, allegiance, participation. And the most dangerous fuel isn’t the rebellion of pagans. It’s the compromise of Christians.
Today, the sacrifices look different. Conviction sacrificed for influence.
Truth sacrificed for acceptance. Children sacrificed for convenience.
Integrity sacrificed for success. Silence offered in exchange for comfort.
Agreement is what builds altars.
And when Christians participate in, fund, normalize, or refuse to confront systems that oppose the ways of God, we are not neutral. We are contributing. These false gods do not wage war against atheism. They wage war against the purposes and agenda of heaven.
And here’s the sobering part: The kingdom of heaven suffers violence. Not because God is weak — but because His people forget they are at war.
This is not about panic or superstition. But about recognizing patterns.
If we don’t identify the altars, we will keep empowering them. If we don’t name the agreements, we will keep renewing them. If we don’t repent of participation, we will keep wondering why darkness feels bold.
So I need you locked in.
Because in the next episodes, I’m not speaking in generalities anymore.
We’re going to name the altars.
We’re going to trace the agreements.
We’re going to expose the systems.

Instagram is where I like to hang on social media. You can follow me at @pavielle.esq and you can follow the show over at @thepurposecollectivepodcast.
If you want to connect with other purpose-driven movers and shakers, then join The Purpose Collective Community on Facebook. It’s exclusive and FREE.
If you have any questions you can always email me at podcast@pavielle.com or join my Purpose Diary newsletter below and my tips, experiences, and advice about navigating a life of purpose are all yours, every week!
