Introduction: A Time of Great Choice
In these perilous times, many lives hang precariously on the edge of spiritual disaster. The prophetic word warns us that endless multitudes are standing at the brink of destruction, having followed the deceiving and destructive paths of darkness. Despite countless divine calls to repentance and wisdom, many continue to live as fools—seduced by the devil’s enchanting lies and enslaved to their own fleshly desires.
This message is a divine alarm sounding in the ears of all who still have breath. It is a sobering reminder that hell is not a myth, and neither is the reality of demonic influence. God’s desire is not for destruction but for redemption, yet many are rushing toward damnation by the choices they make daily. In this lesson, we will explore the spiritual realities that bring people to the edge of eternal ruin and God’s urgent plea to return to Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

The Seduction of Foolishness and Demonic Influence
“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.” – Psalm 14:1
Satan is cunning and strategic. His influence does not appear in obvious horns and fire, but rather through subtle persuasions, normalized sins, and distractions that numb the soul. Foolishness, when entertained, opens the soul to be enchanted by demonic lies that sound convincing but lead to destruction.
Millions live under the illusion that they are in control of their destinies, when in reality, their lives are being manipulated by evil spiritual forces. These forces offer temporary pleasures, promises of freedom, and justification for rebellion—but all with one agenda: to kill, steal, and destroy.

God’s Heart is for Redemption, Not Destruction
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” – 2 Peter 3:9
Despite the madness of sin and rebellion on the earth, God’s heart remains full of mercy. His desire is for all to turn to Him, to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, and to walk in obedience. Yet, the majority in this generation are ignoring the call, embracing destruction as if it were a reward.
This rebellion against God’s way is not passive—it is active. It is fueled by choices that defy righteousness and welcome chaos. But make no mistake: the destruction many face is not God’s will, but their own will enforced against God’s desires.

The Consequences of Refusing to Cry Out
“Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” – Proverbs 28:13
God is ready to deliver, but many refuse to cry out to Him. As they reach the brink of their destruction, they remain silent in pride and rebellion. Consequently, they are overtaken by the floodwaters of sin and corruption, swept into premature death, and into the eternal fires of hell.
Hell is not merely a theological idea—it is a tragic destination for those who reject the hand of mercy. The fire that burns there is real, unending, and unbearable. Those who could have escaped, but chose rebellion, are now tormented with the regret of refusing God when they had the chance.

The Deception of Carnal Living
“For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” – Romans 8:6
The modern world celebrates carnality—pleasure, greed, lust, and self-centeredness—as ultimate expressions of freedom. But spiritual reality teaches us that carnality leads to spiritual death. Those who live for the flesh are often convinced they are doing the “right thing,” but in truth, they are following a demonic blueprint.
Living apart from God may feel free, but it is the greatest slavery. The independence from God that many desire is actually dependence on demonic influence. The fruit of such independence is devastation, sorrow, and eternal separation from God.

Every Life is Ruled by Something
“Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?” – Romans 6:16
No one lives truly independently. Every soul is under the rule of either light or darkness. Even those who retreat into isolation are still under spiritual jurisdiction—either that of the Holy Spirit or of demonic forces.
Choosing God means choosing life, truth, and divine protection. Those who walk in His way are guided by His Spirit and experience peace even in turbulent times. But those who walk in opposition to Him live under the influence of spirits that are bent on their destruction.

Hell is a Choice, Not a Sentence from God
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” – Galatians 6:7
Hell is not a place God takes pleasure in sending people to. Rather, it is a place people choose for themselves by rejecting the path of righteousness. Their hands are active in rebellion, and their hearts are aligned with wickedness. Therefore, they inherit sorrow, not as a punishment from God, but as a consequence of their choices.

The Urgency of Daily Surrender
“Choose this day whom you will serve... But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” – Joshua 24:15
Spiritual decisions cannot be postponed. The time to choose God is not tomorrow—it is today. Every day, the soul must be aligned with heaven. To delay is to risk standing on the brink without knowing it. God offers safety, sanity, and peace, but only to those who walk willingly in His way.

When Reality Sets In
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” – Isaiah 5:20
We are living in times when evil is normalized and wickedness is celebrated. People commit hideous acts and call them progress. This is the fruit of demonic delusion. The messengers of God must not remain silent. There is an urgent call to warn, again and again, those who are perishing. Some will hear, repent, and be saved. Others will refuse and inherit sorrow.

Summary
The message is clear: many are standing on the edge of eternal destruction, deceived by demonic lies and carnality. But God, in His mercy, is still calling. The choice lies with each individual—to walk in God’s way or fall into the fire. Hell is not God’s desire, but the result of persistent rebellion. Those who choose God will live under His light and guidance, while those who reject Him will dwell in darkness.

Conclusion
This is a prophetic alarm and a heartfelt plea from God to the nations and individuals: Return to Me. The path of destruction is wide and easy, but it leads to death. The narrow road of righteousness requires humility and faith, but it leads to eternal life. Do not wait until you are at the brink. Choose God now, and you will not regret it.

Call to Action
Evaluate your heart. Examine your path. Are you walking in the way of the Lord, or are you following the deceiving spirits of the age? Do not harden your heart. Return to the Lord while He may be found. Open your ears to the Holy Spirit and your heart to His leading. Warn others. Be bold. Be persistent. Be faithful.

Final Encouragement
Be thankful today that you are not among the damned. Rejoice that you have chosen salvation through Jesus Christ. Stay faithful. Let His light, love, and life fill you daily. Encourage others to choose God, and be a beacon of hope in a world heading toward destruction. For those who walk with God, disappointment and discouragement will not define them—His peace and joy will.
