We must live life as God has told us to. We who do not know the thoughts and minds of others should not at all second guess. If we have not been told or asked, we should not obey. Live by the facts that you know. We must not listen to hints, suggestions or any of the other ways that demons use to get people to do what they want. If this were a legitimate authority it would be established in legitimate ways. The reason why it is secret and unspoken is that in order for it to have power over you, you have to submit to it and give it power over you. It has no reality unless you make it your reality. It has no place unless you believe in it and give it first place in your heart. Hints and suggestions should be a warning sign to you that someone is trying to brainwash you and control your mind. They are trying to get you to override your reason. They are trying to enslave you based on your fears. The devil can never control you. He can control others around you but he can never control you. You have to let go of what others can control. And remember that all things that happen to you come from God and must be accepted and submitted to.
Now what about those who have established their lives in this system and given control of everything over to the devil?
Re 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Jesus and Ellen G. White (Last Day Events) warned us that in the last days we would have to prepare for a time when we could not buy or sell. So prepare. It is so important to begin to SEPARATE from the world's system, not adjust to it. That is the mistake.
Ac 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
This is the mindset that we have to establish within ourselves and believe with all of our hearts. We do not take separation from the world seriously enough. When the world falls into a pit of hell most of us will fall with it. The road we need to follow is straight and narrow. Turn away from the broad road, and begin to make severe distinctions between yourself and the world.
The first sign of having to submit to the world to live should have made the church begin to separate so that its members would have a place to go if they wanted to serve God. I am very disappointed in my church leaders for not preparing a refuge for God's people. Even if people wanted to separate they have no place to go. It is true that eventually even those refuges would fall, but by then God would give us enough faith to deal with it.
When in your heart you are gripped by anxiety because of something the world wants to do to you, submit in your heart to the suffering, and God's peace will carry you through. Do not bother to resist the thing that you are afraid of in your own strength. If someone indicates to you that you are going to suffer, submit to it in your heart with tears and humility.
Ge 19:12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
Nu 16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
Jer 51:6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.
Jer 51:45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
Jer 51:50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
Isa 52:11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Mt 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Mt 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
Ps 50:18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
Mt 23:30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
1Ti 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
2Jo 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
