END GAME

Greetings,


Spiritual warfare has been engaged long before man was created.  Somewhere in existence Satan, the Devil, went against the Lord God, Father, Son and Spirit, and sought power and might and hierarchy of his own.  He who was created, the Devil, went against Him, Who created him.   HE forgot and rejected his purpose of being created.  And he was given power and ability, to go against He Who created him.  He sought and seeks to destroy and devour every thing of God's creation.   Since the devil cannot destroy or devour God Himself; and that the devil knows his time is limited, he seeks to destroy and devour everything of God's purpose, plans and pleasure.   

Satan came against God's creation in Genesis 3; he came against God's likeness in men; he came against their innocence and brought forth the leading and temptation to cause them to sin.  And he has worked against everything since then to destroy everything that God look upon with joy and pleasure.  He comes against the covenant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel); he comes against the church, the bride of Christ.  He comes against the Word of God and those that seek to promote, preach and live it.  Anything that God seeks to bless, Satan enters to curse.  And anything that God curses, he seeks to bless.  He is the very existence of evil in this battle of good and evil.   Knowing this purpose we see how he has worked to bring us from a blessed nation to a cursed nation.  But those entrusted to bring the curse to blessing, the church, has largely failed.   How can the church do anything else, but confess, 'We have failed you O Lord.'  

Over the years, yea decades, the progression of evil has been set forth to accomplish Satan's agenda throughout all of time for humanity.  But let us focus more so, on our nation and this our life and  times.  Satan's purpose and agenda, which is: "to kill, steal, maim and ultimately destroy" throughout our nation and our future.  Long has the battle and warfare waged by the Christian church against the devil's tactics, largely the focus was through the means of government, politics and elections.  Satan has loved this!  For so long as the church was largely engaged in combating politics, they forfeited the source of this warfare, hell itself.  Somewhere along the line, we forgot that this battle and warfare is not against temporal, carnal things, but eternal, spiritual things.   

Too many in the churches and leadership believed if they won the White House and passed legislation and ruled the Supreme Court, we could vanquish the abominations engaged by our society and nation.  What, it seems we forgot, is that such things may hinder or limit such increase of evil in society; but the minds and hearts are still evil of the vast population in the US.   And that the only way to be victorious in this war is for evil men to be saved and delivered from evil, or the Evil One.  Did not Christ pray, 'Deliver them from evil"? So that the only way in which to win this war, is to 'seek and save that which is lost'.  And only God can save a soul.  

Therefore, while most of our attention was on those things of earth, the spiritual things, that brought forth salvation to the lost, brought victory over demonic assaults, was largely unheeded and left uncontested.   The things that prosper God's kingdom is holiness, righteousness, faithfulness and by the Presence of His Holy Spirit.   These are the things that we 'should not have left undone'.  These attributes that proceed from God Himself, are received by God's grace and mercy to the soul that seeks for them and found right before Him.   'Seek and ye shall find when you search with all your heart.'  Far too many have not sought these things, thus they have not found them.  But we cannot go on without them.   

And so, with the failure of the church to put the armies of demonic forces from hell on retreat, they eroded the minds and hearts of men into prisoners of war.  They swelled their numbers from generation to generation, from one locale to another; until they became the majority.   Yea, they were now captives of Satan and hell in their practices, thoughts, words, deeds and lifestyles.  Look at the onslaught of evil in our life time alone, over the past 30 years.   The church kept dealing with symptoms of evil, but never with the root cause of evil - Sin.   Christ is victorious over sin and hell; yet the church did not engage in this war, but fought other lesser battles that allowed for them to increase, and the church to decrease.   And as evil increased, so did the advancement upon every threshold in our society.  It all seems to embrace sin and evil and the abominations which God cursed and defies.  

Every foundation of our society seems bent on going directly against any morals or virtues that we once held as normal morals.   And now, they embrace immoral actions and perversions that seem to be in the shadows of night, but never in the light of day.  But now they are done brazenly in the day light and there is no ounce of shame, remorse, conviction at all.  They are bent on provoking God to wrath, and daring Him to respond in His anger and fury.   Knowing not, that He shall respond.  And His fierce anger and wrath will come forth and consume everything in its path.  Ah!, Woe to the inhabitants of this nation that allows these things to happen, and never seeks to stop it, or undo it.   Where is the church?!

These wicked ones are not content to just embrace such abominations for themselves, but they have worked ferociously to include the younger generation and succumb them to their evil vices and sins as well.  thus, the pattern of habitual sin is now present in homes, cities, schools, and the minds and hearts of all.   Yea, it is a hard thing to find Truth and Light anywhere.   But thank God, for where it is found.  



  

You cannot continue to provoke the Lord God to anger and wrath with known choices of sins and abominations.  The Lord will reply with fury and rage against those, who knowingly, go contrary to His moral law of right and wrong.  He will hold consistent with what He has set forth in creation, in His Word and His ways of what is acceptable, and what is unacceptable.  His moral law is that He created male and female.  He ordered and designed for life to be and reproduce in that same image of male and female.  So, when men seek to tell God, He is wrong and that they choose to go against His ways and design, there is a price to pay.  You cannot provoke the Lord to anger, by telling Him, 'You made a mistake'.   For the choices, of far too many in our society are telling God, 'You made me a male, or a female; but I don't want to be that.  I want to be what I want to be, not what You made me.'   "The wages of sin is death"; and it is sin to go contrary to God's ordained ways of flesh and blood.   

And this is not only an issue for the few; it is the whole.  This provocation is from top to bottom and everything in between.  It is seems they are bent on nothing else, but advancing the causes of hell and Satan.  The very first actions taken by President Biden, issues the executive order to engage in abortions support world wide and at home.   Then he overturned the policy of transgenders in the military to be acceptable.  Then he issued for the transgender allowance and ability to taken their perversions into the public schools.   Thus endangering those that would seek to maintain the norm of morals.  He seeks in his first days to issue a statement so forward, so pervasive, so evil, and seemingly not knowing that God will answer and show forth His wrath like never before for doing such.   

Woe unto the nation, the leaders that shred morals.  Strip the masses of normalcy of right's and wrong's and punish those that pursue right morals; but reward the wicked ones.  Yes, God will answer this moment in time.  And God will make President Biden answer for his crimes against the Lord God and His Word and His will.   

Warnings have all but fallen on deaf ears in the church.  Some get stirred up and then move on to something else.  Few of the remnant realize just how close we are to final judgement as a nation.  And yet, wouldn't it be powerful in this dark hour, for God to manifest Himself to the church and for us to see revival like we have only read and heard about in days gone by?   Yes God is able.  But the church is still responsible for a response, and they largely remain silent.  Many hearts are moved, but few are willing to engage in the labor to set forth to restore the old paths.   But this must be done. 


We have sought to go against God:

--1933 - overturning of prohibition; and the legalizing of alcohol sales and consumption;
--1963 - Supreme Court ruling, removing the Bible from being read over the PA system in Baltimore Public School System; citing separation of church and state; But removing God's Word from those that need it most;
--1973 - Supreme Court ruling of legalizing murder of unborn babies in the wombs;  great sin of murder by the millions;   'blood defiles the land'; How much blood is upon our nation for over 60 million abortions?
--2013 - Supreme Court ruling against God's moral law of marriage and legalizing homosexual marriages;

And that which is to come, with that 2013 ruling, is they seek greater evils and abominations to be legalized for the perverting of their wicked minds and hearts to full embracing of the evil's of hell.  they seek removing of gender titles; they seek to legalize pedophilia; they seek to silence the church from speaking any of God's moral law and ways, for it is contrary to their perverseness;  they seek to legalize all drug use;  . . . In other words, they seek to legalize all practices of men's evil minds and heart, so that whatever they desire to do, they can do it, with no restrictions of convictions, correcting or reproving.  
Thus, God gives us over, God gives us up to the imaginations of our perverse, corrupt, evil minds and hearts.   Can there be an remedy for this?  Can there be any deliverance from this?  


Their last target, but Satan's first target has always been to silence and remove the church.  For a church that is silent and removed, evil can flourish and eradicate.   We have seen this in other nations and periods of time.  But have we learned the lesson yet for what is at stake?  This is their end game, do we know our end game?  

They are now in position to set forth such tactics to minimize and eradicate the voice of the church in free society.   And the powerlessness of the church only emboldens them.  One would think the church would be most desperate to recapture Pentecostal power for the final warfare of the age.   But the church was busy with politics.  Busy fighting among itself; filled with envy, short-sightedness and missing the mark of the high calling placed upon it.  Somewhere the church lost the passion for holiness and grieved and quenched the Holy Ghost away.   A spirit of desperation should have set in among leadership, yet they seemed to embrace the humanistic approach of many churches 'be happy'.   No matter how much Norman Vincent Peale taught it and the church embraced it, positive thinking and happiness carries not the power of the Presence of God.  Only holy, righteous and faithful servants and church can carry that.   

Oh, to see the days of old, where God's people prevailed.  Men were emboldened with a holy fire of unction from above and preached the Word with such conviction, that they trembled in their seats.   To see men under conviction, removed from all humanistic approach of evangelism, just the Presence of God upon them.   To see the hand of God work the works of God.  

Is it too late?  No.  God has not called the intercessors to cease praying.  Many have testified that they have not heard the Lord say, 'pray not for this people'.   Therefore there is still time to prevail for the power of God.   And this battle is not going to be won in Washington.  This battle is fought and won, where it is, in the spiritual.   It is heavenly warfare.  It is fought and won by Divine Presence, supernatural occurrence in the Spirit and Authority of God Himself speaking on behalf of them who are seeking Him in this realm.   Why do men continue to war this warfare in the earthly, when it is not there;  it is in the spiritual.      

So let us ask the question and answer the question and rise up and do it.

"What must be done?"

I stay with my perception and preferences in regard to our response:
1.  We must realize where we are in light of God's timing of end times, God's response to the increase of evil in our day; and the purposes of God's church in these last days as a witness against the nations.  Far too many are in ignorance of God's judgement and wrath.  Too many in the church believe that things will always go on, like before.  They know nothing of 'the day of the Lord'.  They are ignorant of His ways, Word and will and know nothing of His anger, wrath and fury.    Therefore, it must be taught, preached and presented to them of this late hour, in which we are living.  There should be an urgency and desperation of such judgement coming, sooner rather than later upon us as a nation and the church.

2.  Immediate response set forth to recognize that we are in such a horrible way before God due to our sins.  Sins of the nation and the sins of the church.  Too much in the church is easy to point to the lost and heathen and blame them, but the church has failed and are responsible for this age as well.  Set forth the consequences of sin and evil being embraced and God rejected.

3.  Set forth the Scriptures that due to this plight, God has stated what is to be done in numerous passages.   Call to prayer, humble, confession, repentance.   Wrongs must be made right; vows broken must be renewed and restored.   Cleansing, and restoration in our pursuit of holiness, righteousness, and faithfulness before Him and to Him.  Seek things above, not things of this earth.  

4.   A continued state of perpetual crying out and meeting with Him for the sake of, a development of our heart and mindset, 'we will not be denied'.  Seeking for revival, for God's help and outpouring.  Prevail in prayer and for His kingdom and will to be done.  


As hell is bent on destroying everything of God and from God; the church and the Christian is bent on everything for God's glory and kingdom.  The Apostle Paul said it, 'spend and be spent', and this is the mind set of every Christian for these days.   For all is at stake now, yea, our very existence and future is at stake.  We will not survive God's destruction and annihilation, unless we prevail.   


THIS IS THE END GAME!
