The reality is that
Satan and his forces, demonic and human, are wreaking havoc throughout most of
the earth. Their plan is for more to come, and one of their main targets is the
United States. Violence and murder are not their only tactics. They are using
any possible means to bring people into captivity. Starting in the Garden of
Eden, deception and distraction have been two of Satan’s favorite tactics
against mankind. At present, these two tactics are working very well within the
United States, and I mean among professing Christians.
Satan and his forces
are aggressively moving to implement their plans. Because of the present
success of deception and distraction, many Christians have mindsets that either
prevent them from seeing clearly the serious ramifications of what Satan and
his forces are doing, or it prevents them from doing what is necessary to slow
down and eventually stop the enemy's onslaughts. Even worse, many Christians
have the mindset that there is very little, if anything, that can be done, and
the violence and turmoil are just signs that the Lord Jesus will soon return or
rapture them out of here. This is a dangerous mentality that, in itself, blinds
many Christians and prevents them from coming together and taking needed
actions. Instead of uniting in faith, most Christians are simply carrying on
with the status quo activities of their particular group. They have
tunnel vision; they are inwardly focused. I do believe that we are in the last
days, but we are not to stand by while Satan and his forces go unimpeded.
Another thing to consider
and address is that, in its present state, the overall church is too weak and
divided to accomplish much in the way of resistance. The weakness comes
primarily from the lack of Holy Spirit power, and the division comes primarily
from longstanding religious doctrines and traditions of mankind that have
control of the minds of many Christians and turn them in on themselves, thereby
preventing real unity of the faith.
At present, the Holy
Spirit has to rely on the few who are awake and are the nucleus of our Lord’s
resistance movement. They are standing in the gap, speaking truth, sounding the
alarm, and they are deep in prayer and intercession. But they can’t hold out
forever without new recruits. The enemy has saved his worst for last and is on
a rampage, whether Christians know it or not. In the United States, he has
control of most of the media, most of the educational system, most of the
entertainment industry, most parts of government and has infiltrated many parts
of the church with his ministers and/or his teachings and traditions.
What is the solution?
The Spirit of the Lord keeps bringing me back to the necessity of being washed
with truth (Ephesians 5:26) and being anointed with the Holy Spirit and power.
At some point, Christians must wake up to the fact that the overall church is
divided, and the division is caused by the doctrines and traditions of men that
have either been mixed with the truth of God's Word or have replaced it
altogether. They must also wake up to the biblical truth that, when they unite
in the faith, they absolutely must be anointed with the Holy Spirit and power.
There is no other way to victory!
