“The Cult of Self: Why So Many Crave Worship”

 

From the very beginning, one of the deepest spiritual wars has revolved around worship. In heaven, the fallen angels rebelled because they wanted to be seen as gods themselves. Lucifer, once radiant, anointed, and close to God, desired the throne, the praise, and the reverence that only belongs to the Creator. That same rebellion trickled down into humanity after the fall, weaving into our culture, our desires, and our very programming.


Today, we see this hunger for worship everywhere. Social media platforms, especially Facebook and Instagram, are flooded with people competing for attention, validation, and admiration. What may look harmless on the surface, likes, shares, followers, actually taps into a spiritual sickness. It mirrors the same spirit of rebellion that fueled the fall of the angels: the lust to be worshiped, to be exalted above others, to be seen as more than human.


The Mirror Effect: Hollywood and the Bloodlines of the Nephilim


Hollywood is a glaring example of this. Many celebrities rise not just by talent but by tapping into the serpent seed bloodlines, the ancient Nephilim heritage that still craves dominance and reverence. They position themselves as untouchable, god-like figures, with followers who treat their every word like scripture. Concerts, movies, award shows, all are designed as modern temples of worship, with fans bowing their hearts, minds, and money to these idols.


The scary part is that the rest of society begins to mirror them. People adopt their mannerisms, their style, their ideologies. It’s not about creativity or joy anymore—it becomes about gaining power, recognition, and a following at any cost. This is the program of worship in action, the exact system the fallen angels seeded into the world.


The Difference Between Talent and Worship


It’s important to make a distinction here. There is nothing wrong with having talent, especially in music, art, or performance, and sharing it with an audience. Music, for example, has always been a divine gift meant to bring joy, healing, and unity. To gather people together and move their hearts through rhythm, melody, and words can be a pure act of love.


But there is a line that some cross. Instead of wanting to share their gift to uplift others, they begin to crave worship. They want to be adored, idolized, and treated as something more than human. That is where talent gets corrupted, when the stage becomes a throne and the applause becomes a form of worship.


Wasted Time in the Worship Trap


So much time, energy, and creativity is wasted in chasing this false godhood. Instead of people growing closer to their Creator, they are taught to exalt one another, or even themselves. Facebook “likes” and Instagram “followers” are the modern currency of this worship, with millions of people addicted to measuring their worth by numbers on a screen.


It is a distraction and a snare. While humanity fights for likes, status, and fame, the enemy celebrates, because the more people crave worship, the further they drift from the true Source of life.


Breaking the Cycle


The truth is, no human was created to be worshiped. We were created to reflect God’s glory, not to steal it. When we recognize that our gifts, whether in music, art, or influence, are meant to serve, heal, and bring joy, we step out of the fallen program. We stop imitating Hollywood idols and start reflecting divine purpose.


The fallen angels wanted to be seen as gods and led humanity into that same trap. But we don’t have to keep following them. Worship belongs to God alone,and when we return it to Him, we free ourselves from the endless cycle of ego, idolatry, and wasted time.

Part 2: The Subtle Line Between Sharing Talent and Demanding Worship

In Part 1, we uncovered how the fallen angels rebelled against God, desiring to be worshiped as gods themselves, and how that same spirit infects our world today,especially in Hollywood, social media, and the obsession with fame. But there is another side we must acknowledge: it is not wrong to have talent. In fact, God designed us with gifts meant to uplift others, glorify Him, and bring light into a darkened world.

God-Given Talent vs. Fallen Pride

Music, art, athletics, storytelling, even humor, these are gifts that, when used rightly, can bring healing, joy, and connection. A musician can pour their heart into a song that lifts people’s spirits. A comedian can make the brokenhearted laugh. A filmmaker can stir courage through stories of sacrifice and redemption.

This is very different from what the fallen angels sought. They wanted worship. They wanted to steal the glory of God and set themselves up as idols. When a person crosses from sharing their gift to demanding adoration, they slip into the same rebellion. The focus shifts from blessing others to inflating the self.

The Hollywood Illusion

Hollywood is a clear example of this. It thrives on turning talented people into idols, training the public to worship them instead of appreciating their craft. Red carpets, award shows, flashing cameras, all designed to elevate people to the level of gods. And many of those who rise in these industries come from or align with the very bloodlines and philosophies of the serpent seed, echoing the same pride that led to the angels’ fall.

But ordinary people, seeing this, imitate it. They begin to believe that being loved isn’t enough, hey must be worshiped. Social media feeds this mindset, making people chase likes, followers, and praise as though these things define their worth.

The Divine Purpose of Talent

The truth is this: our gifts are not meant to draw others to ourselves, but to point them to God. When a musician uses their music to bring joy, when a teacher inspires students to believe in themselves, when a writer tells stories that reveal truth, this reflects God’s glory, not fallen pride.

The line between sharing and worship is subtle but crucial. It is the difference between:

A singer who moves the crowd to joy versus a singer who demands to be adored like a god.

An athlete who inspires through discipline versus an athlete who expects to be bowed down to.

An artist who shares beauty versus an artist who makes their name into an idol.
Satan was once the chief musician in heaven, but his downfall came when he desired the worship that belonged only to God. His pride turned music into idolatry. That is why we must remember, love yourself through God’s Spirit within, not through the applause of the world. True love flows from Him alone.



Returning to the True Audience

Ultimately, every gift we have is an offering. The question is: who is the audience we are really serving? Is it the crowd, or is it God? Are we reflecting His light, or demanding that others reflect their light back onto us?

The fallen angels failed this test. They chose worship over service, pride over humility, rebellion over obedience. But we are called to something higher: to use our talents as vessels of light, bringing joy to others while never losing sight of the true Source of all creativity.

When we learn to love ourselves, we are not glorifying the self, we are honoring the Creator who dwells within us. True love begins when we recognize that God’s Spirit breathes life into us, making us worthy of care, respect, and compassion. Loving yourself is not vanity; it is alignment with the truth that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. From this wellspring of divine love within, we are able to love others more fully and freely.
