"Anyone that browses through the news on a daily basis cannot help but notice a very disturbing trend being seen nationally and globally, where weekly, and sometimes daily, we are noting more mainstream articles on demonic possession, creature sightings, an increase of exorcisms, television shows about "Lucifer," hauntings, or the supernatural, have become a daily dose of evil threaded through our lives as a string is threaded through a needle, to weave itself into the very fabric of our existence" (Read more by Susan Duclos).

Demonic
A complete demonic possession on the other hand is a state in which one or several demonic spirits have gained access to the body of an individual and then proceeds to takes full control over the person's will. In such a condition, the demonic spirits uses the body of the individual to express its personality and to carry out its evil intent.
Transgender is an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity, gender expression or behavior does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were assigned at birth.
Is God responsible? NO!
1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
God is not the author of confusion but of peace; Those who know God and walk with Him have peace and NOT confusion. They know they are born male and female and identify with those roles in life as God directs their path. God also provides complete protection from demonic/evil spirits to those who are called by His name.
Our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a God of Love and peace but there are also some things He hates. He states them clearly and without confusion in the following Scriptures.
Proverbs 6:16 These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
19 A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.
Deuteronomy 12:31 You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way; for every abomination to the Lord which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
Deuteronomy 16:22 You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
Malachi 2:16 “For the Lord God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one’s garment with violence,” Says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.”
1 John 4:20 [ Obedience by Faith ] If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
"God makes kings into idiots, removes wisdom from counselors, gives wisdom to the wise, knowledge to the scholars, exalts and destroys nations, the deceived and deceiver alike are His, He reveals deep and hidden mysteries, He takes away discernment from elders and takes away understanding from the chiefs of the earth".

Men and women, not ? or ? or transgender.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 5:2 He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.
Genesis 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.
The Creator is very clear in His design of those He created so why are the masses confused?
They have become wise in their own eyes and have rejected God's wisdom for their own. Mans wisdom originates with the father of lies, Satan.
By choosing their own wisdom, in the end they will be without excuse when they stand before God. This is the part they forget when they become wise in their own eyes.
Romans 1:19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Romans 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
Romans 1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
1 Timothy 4:1 [ The Great Apostasy ] Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,
When and where did all this confusion being expressed today get it's start?
It started here.
Luke 10:18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
When Satan was thrown out of heaven he took one third of the angels with him in rebellion against God. The devil in his wrath is committed to destroying all of God's creation, especially those created in God's own image, mankind.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
This group of angels and their demonic offspring have convinced many that there is no need for God and that they are really wise and able to control their own destiny. God honors the free will of each individual to choose their own path at the cost of living with consequences of their choice.
Satan twisted God's direction to Adam and Eve and took dominion of the earth from mankind when they believed his lie and acted on it through their own free will.
Genesis 3 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’”
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Satan uses this same ploy on everyone today; on our world leaders he uses an additional ploy that failed during his temptation of Christ.
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”
What have the world leaders done with Satan's offer? They accepted the offer and fulfill their obligation to Satan by ensuring all will reject God and follow Satan's teachings.
Satan's lifestyle choices are taught in our school systems, children's cartoons, movies, and on the news. One result is gender confusion, other results include the loss of self respect, the loss of respect for others, the loss of modesty and privacy to name a few.
In Romans 1:19-21 above, God says all have knowledge Him and His creation at birth along with the natural order of life. The world teaches according to mans wisdom beginning in preschool, man's wisdom is based on Satan's direction and lifestyle choices, the end result is confusion in the masses.
Demonic activity and transgender confusion are connected. Remember demonic oppression and possession works to destroy it's victims. God's Word confirms all aspects that have been covered in this post while our daily news gives witness to them. Satan is the destroyer of all that stands for God.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Isaiah 5:21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!
Closing thoughts
Fortunately for those of us who belong to the Lord, Jesus took dominion of the earth back from Satan at the resurrection.
As Christians you need to teach and protect your children from the ways of the world.
The Lord recommends responsible actions for a parent to take.
Deuteronomy 6:6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
Words commanded: Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one![a] 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. (Bold emphasis mine)
Footnotes:
a. Deuteronomy 6:4 Or The Lord is our God, the Lord alone (that is, the only one)
Deuteronomy 11:19 You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Exorcism on a wide scale is not the answer!
Mexico performed a nation wide exorcism in May of 2015 and now they are quietly calling for another nation wide exorcism, May 2016, because satanic killings are off the charts. This is a bad idea as verified by their perceived need for another in 2016. Here's why.
I don't refer to casting out demons as exorcism as the Catholics and the movies portray. Performing a deliverance should never be accomplished where non believing people are present. Many people in Mexico are non believers as evidenced by the satanic murders, freeing non believers temporarily of demonic influence often leaves them in a worse condition soon after.
An Unclean Spirit Returns
Luke 11:24 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
Repentance and revival on a wide scale will bring healing and normalcy back to a troubled confused society.
Pray for revival, pray for our leaders, pray for those brothers and sisters being persecuted, and most of all pray for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven!
Amen
