Cupid is really a demon! It's not some cute, adorable concept about love.

Cupid is an actual demonic entity that lures people into lust-filled relationships where lives get shipwrecked, emotions are shattered and unwanted babies get born in these out-of-wedlock situations.

Cupid helps feed the American child support system. How many men right now today are bemoaning the day they ever met the person who turned their lives upside down, via an unwanted kid? How many women wish they never met that guy or allowed a few lonely moments of life to get them into a relationship that became a hellified experience on Earth where they now find themselves struggling alone to raise a child?

You can thank Cupid for that. This little demon has twisted more lives and turned more destinies upside down than any other.

Those aren't arrows of love Cupid is shooting: those are arrows of death dipped in lust! And once they penetrate your heart, you'll be led like a clueless animal to the slaughter.

The Word of God warns believers to stay away from lust. It actually tells you to FLEE from it:

"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body." [1 Corinthians 6:18]

"Flee lusts of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of pure heart." [2 Timothy: 2:22]

The word 'flee' means to run away from a bad situation or danger. It means to escape with your life. Some of you were so busy entertaining youthful lusts that you missed all the warning signs telling you to flee from that person. And the end result has been utter chaos in your life.

All of this is demonic handiwork. In classical mythology, Cupid is believed to be the love child of Venus: the goddess of erotic lust - and Mars: the god of war. That alone should tell you that this little guy is nothing but trouble. When you mix lust with war, all you can expect is a volatile situation!

It should also be noted that a myth doesn't necessarily mean that the myth is not rooted in fact or genuine history.

Contrary to popular belief, myth does not mean false; it simply means a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events.

Personally, I believe many so-called myths are actual ancient 'pre-Flood history' that took place on Earth during and prior to the days of Noah. I arrive at this conclusion after studying hundreds of different myths from different cultures in conjunction with known human history, and Biblical research.

Many of you have been celebrating Valentine's Day since you were kids. We were actually brought up to celebrate it as just harmless fun, starting in elementary school. Remember those little heart-shaped cards with the candy that you made your mom run around searching for, so you could take them to class for Valentine's Day? That was your childhood indoctrination and initiation into the cult of Cupid. We didn't know any better. But ignorance of such things is no longer an excuse.

When you celebrate Cupid and his holiday (Valentine's Day), you are actually celebrating the demon of lust.

Because remember: Cupid was the love child between lust (Venus) and war (Mars). And many of you wonder why you constantly end up in volatile relationships!

Also, note how Mars and Venus go together in this story? Sound familiar? If you've been reading relationship books the way I have for the past 20 years or so, you'll remember a popular series of books titled "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus." The author was actually a white Buddhist monk turned relationship coach... go figure. But even worse was that unbeknownst to those who followed the advice therein, you were being secretly lured into a relationship where Cupid's volatile arrows of lust and war would be constantly flying in your direction. What else can Mars and Venus produce but a lustful war-child: Cupid?

It's time to free yourself from the controlling influences of this demon. If you don't have a special Valentine this upcoming Valentine's Day, don't sweat it. Most people who celebrate it will be breaking up soon after anyway. That's just how it goes.

People get boo'ed up for the holidays when it's cold and wintery outside. They typically stay together until Valentine's Day: then break up just in time for Spring and Summer. Then they're off to meet someone new. It's the circle of sinful relationships.

But as people of God, we are not to be controlled by any demonic influences or impulses of the flesh. And this include those that are innocently presented to us in the form of Cupid. Our relationships are to be built on being equally yoked together with other believers in Jesus Christ. Violating this one highly important principle is to voluntarily place yourself under demonic authority for your relationship.

If you are married, don't place pressure on your spouse to celebrate a pagan holiday dedicated to a pagan deity. Besides, you should be celebrating your love for each other 365 days a year: not only on one day where you treat each other nice, then go back to being the same disconnected couple for the rest of the year that you already were. One day of chocolates, cards and flowers can never compensate for this:

"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything." [Ephesians 5:22-24]

"Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself." [Ephesians 5:25-28]

Now what can compare to that type of love???

I'll leave you with this: to avoid falling victim to one of Cupid's fiery arrows during moments of weakness, make sure you have on your armor. And remind yourself that you are still at war!

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against the flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the SPIRITUAL FORCES of wickedness in the heavenly places." [Ephesians 6:10-12]

"In addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the FLAMING ARROWS of the evil one." [Ephesians 6:16]

See, I told you Cupid was a demon! The Bible even says he shoots flaming arrows at people! (Another word for arrow is 'dart' in the KJV).

Make yourself arrow proof by transforming your mind, and by allowing the Word of God to have its proper place in your life. Stop running off the world's programming.

The world is run by demons and those under direct demonic control. So why are you even listening to them, celebrating THEIR holy days? Choose instead to follow God. That way you won't go wrong.
