Maraming tao ang, kabilang ang mga bata, na gumugugol ng maraming oras sa paglalaro. Hindi nila itinuturing na pag-aaksaya ng oras ang paglalaro at hindi nila nakikita ang mga espirituwal na panganib ng mga video game, but they consider gaming a positive source of entertainment and a way to relax and don’t want to hear anything about gaming addiction. Some people even say that gaming is good for your development. But is gaming good for you and harmless and does gaming reduce stress? Or is gaming bad for you and causes anxiety, depresyon, Insomnia, irritation, kabastusan, galit na galit, karahasan, atbp.? What does gaming do to the minds of people? What are the negative effects of gaming? And what about Christians, can Christians play video games? What is the spiritual danger of gaming that many people are not aware of?
The imaginary realm of gaming
Maraming lalaki, mga babae, and children spend hours playing (video ng) games on their computers (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, atbp.), mga smartphone, tablets, atbp. and fancy themselves in an imaginary world.
They play the most horrible games, tulad ng Quake 3, League of Legends, Grand Theft Auto V, Gears of War, Mundo ng Warcraft (surprisingly enough, many women also play this game), Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Mafia III, Dead rising II, Killer is dead, Dead Island, Dark Souls II & III, Smite, Fallout 4, The walking dead, PlayerUnknown’s Battleground, Red dead redemption II, Call of duty: Black Ops II, III and IV, Counter-strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Diablo III, Minecraft, Fortnight: Battle Royal, Moral Kombat, Hogwarts Legacy, atbp.
But also ‘innocent’ games are played, tulad ng Candy Crush, Angry Birds, Bejeweled 2, Farmville, Mahjong, Cake Shop 2, atbp.
But what happens to the mind when you play these games? Ano ang panganib ng paglalaro?
What does gaming do to your mind?
Gaming has a significant effect on your mind. Sa espirituwal na kaharian, video games defile your mind. How does gaming defile your mind? As soon as you begin to play your soul connects with the spiritual kingdom of darkness; the demonic powers that are behind the game you play.
You have made the first step by switching on the computer and playing. By participating in a game your mind interacts in an imaginary world and interacts with demonic powers. You open the door for these demonic powers to enter your life. It is just like nanonood ng telebisyon. The only difference with the television is that when you play a video game, you become a partaker of this imaginary dark world.
Most people are against violence, cruelties, rape, krimen, digmaan, and murder, while in the meantime they play the most horrific games like: ’world of Warcraft’, ‘league of Legends’, ‘grand theft auto V’, ‘Diablo III’, Mass Effect, Madworld, Saw, Agony atbp., and become partakers of war, mga krimen, sex bokep, rape, karahasan, cruelties, pagpatay, atbp., by fighting and killing many people.
Many people don’t believe in the spiritual realm and deny the espirituwal na kaharian. But isn’t it a coincidence, that many of these video games represent the spiritual warfare in the heavenly places? The war between good and evil? Light and darkness? Life and death?
Many games contain the most despicable, horrible creatures (mga demonyo). And let’s not forget the music and the sounds of these games that originate from hell.
Even the most ‘innocent’ games like Candy Crush, Angry Birds, FarmVille, Pokemon Go, atbp. are not as innocent as they look. Because these so-called innocent games contain witchcraft and magic. As soon as you play, a spirit of witchcraft enters your life and shall control you, so that you become addicted to these games.
Ang panganib ng paglalaro
You may consider gaming innocent and harmless and a way to relax. Ngunit ang katotohanan ay, that there is wala na single game that is innocent, hindi nakakapinsala, or causes any kind of relaxation.
The danger of gaming is, na sa sandaling lumahok ka, evil powers of darkness enter your life, including the spirit of witchcraft and magic, which causes you to become addicted. When you play a (video ng) game, your mind is fed by the evil powers of darkness.
Kapag naghasik ka sa iyong laman, you shall reap the fruit of the flesh. You shall become blunt and impatient towards your spouse and family members. You shall argue more often, become selfish, mayabang na mayabang, mga mapanghimagsik na, nababalisa, galit na galit, furious, Mapoot, marahas, nababalisa, nalulumbay, hindi mapakali, perverted, you shall experience insomnia, atbp.
The powers of darkness, that are behind these games, shall control your mind, iyong kaluluwa. You shall be dominated by these evil powers of darkness and since they control your mind, they shall tell you what to do.
Gaming has a significant influence on the minds of people
Gaming has a significant influence on the minds of people. Tulad ng alam mo, iisa lang ang layunin ng diyablo, at iyon ay ang magnakaw, patayin ang mga, at tuluyang sirain ang mga tao. Marami siyang ginagamit libangan mga kasangkapan, tulad ng telebisyon, ang internet, social media, mga libro, edukasyon, at paglalaro, sa tabi ng droga, alak, at iba pa.
Nais ng diyablo na bihagin ang isip ng mga tao upang makontrol niya ang kanilang pag-iisip at tuluyang sirain ang tao. Alam niya ang bawat salita, aksyon, at ang pag-uugali ng isang tao ay nagmumula sa isip.
Alam ng diyablo kung gaano kalakas ang isip ng isang tao, at samakatuwid ay nais niyang kontrolin ang isip.
Kapag kinokontrol niya ang isip ng isang tao, kaya niyang manligaw, kasinungalingan, magnakaw, patayin ang mga, at sirain ang.
Hindi lamang pinapatay at sinisira ng diyablo ang tao mismo, sa pamamagitan ng isip, ngunit kinakaladkad din niya ang ibang mga inosenteng tao sa kanyang plano ng pagwasak. Halimbawa, panggagahasa, (pamilya na) mga pagpatay, mass shootings, atbp.
Ang depresyon ay bunga ng pag-aari ng demonyo at maaaring maging lubhang mapanganib. Ilang tao ang dumaranas ng depresyon sa mga araw na ito? Kapag ang isang tao ay dumaranas ng depresyon, (s)siya ay pinangungunahan at pinamumunuan ng mga kapangyarihan ng kadiliman. Maaari bang ma-depress ang isang mananampalataya? Hindi, dahil tunay na anak ng Diyos; isang born-again na Kristiyano, ay kinokontrol at pinamumunuan ng Banal na Espiritu. Kaya nga (s)hindi siya kontrolado ng mga espiritu ng kadiliman, at samakatuwid, a Ipinanganak na muli Kristiyano hindi makakaranas ng depresyon.
Maglalaro ba ng video games ang isang born-again Christian?
Ngayon na, dumating tayo sa isang mahalagang tanong: “Maglalaro ba ng video games ang isang Kristiyano?” Ang simpleng sagot: “Hindi!” Baka isang makalaman na Kristiyano, ang sumusunod sa laman ay maaaring maglaro ng video game, ngunit isang born-again na Kristiyano, na sumusunod sa Espiritu ay hindi kailanman maglalaro ng mga video game. Dahil ang isang born-again na Kristiyano ay nakikilala ang espirituwal na kaharian.
Ang isang born-again na Kristiyano ay makikita ang espirituwal na panganib ng paglalaro. (S)makikita niya ang mga demonyong kapangyarihan na kumikilos sa likod ng mga larong ito at (s)ayaw niyang magbukas ng espirituwal na pinto at masangkot sa mga puwersa ng demonyo ng kaharian ng kadiliman.
Ang isang born-again na Kristiyano ay hindi kailanman dapat buksan ang kanyang sarili para makapasok ang masasamang kapangyarihan ng demonyo. Dahil alam ng isang born-again na Kristiyano na ang kanyang trabaho ay pamunuan ang mga espiritung ito, sa halip na ang mga espiritung ito ang namumuno sa kanila at binihag sila.
Ang born-again na Kristiyano ay maghahasik sa espiritu at hindi sa laman. (S)hindi niya pupunuin ang kanyang sarili ng mga bagay ng mundong ito.
(S)gagawin niya hindi naman dungisan ng kadiliman ang kanyang isipan. Ngunit (s)pupunuin niya at i-renew ang isip sa Salita ng Diyos at bantayan ang isip.
Binigyan ng Diyos ng matinong pag-iisip ( 2 Timoteo 1:7) at hindi isip na puno ng kadiliman; masama ang loob, takot na takot, at pagkawasak.
Ang ipinanganak na muli na Kristiyano ay malulugod sa Salita ng Diyos at magbubulay-bulay sa Salita, araw at gabi. Dahil doon lamang, shall a person become like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season, and his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he does shall prosper (Mga Awit 1:2-3)
You will reap what you sow
Gaming is not relaxing, just like watchingtelebisyon is not relaxing. It may seem relaxing and you may feel relaxed at first, ngunit sa huli, aanihin mo, what you’ve sown in your flesh, which is destruction. Because you will be controlled and guided by the powers of darkness.
Si Jesus ay may hindi naman set you free so that you would still be subjected and controlled by demonic powers, who controlled you in your old former life before you knew Jesus Christ and dictated to you what to do.
At ang mga ito ay ipinako sa krus ng laman ng mga pagmamahal at pagnanasa. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit (Mga Taga Galacia 5:24-25)
When you repented and laid down your life, Jesus set you free from every oppression of darkness. You have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of God. But now it is up to you, what you will do with this spiritual freedom, na ibinigay Niya sa iyo.
Will you listen to Jesus, obey and serve Jesus and spend time with Him and in Him (Ang salita), and stay in His Kingdom? Or will you listen to your flesh and obey and serve your flesh (ang mga libog mo, mga hangarin, ay, mga emosyon, mga damdamin, atbp.), and serve the devil and return to his kingdom?
