Last week, I talked about the
'Osteenization' of America's Church ... the pure deception and utter distortion
of God's Word that is now prevalent in the vast majority of our nation's
churches. ... The 'Laodicean Effect' has
now become the dominant theme of America's Christianity today, which is ...
" ... I am rich; I have acquired
wealth and do not need a thing. ... "
(Revelation 3:17) ... But, like many other parts of scripture, the
remainder of the passage is left out, or overlooked! ... This is a perfect
example. .. The verse finishes with this ... " .. But you do not realize
that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked." .... Sadly, this
prophetic illustration is 'spot on.' ... Also last week, to support this truth,
we looked at 1 Timothy 3:1-4 which stated that in the last days, people would
be lovers of self, money, and pleasure. ... Well? ... And incredibly, the
'watered-down, sterilized' teachings coming from today's pulpits contribute
directly to these sinful traits!
.... Osteen's comments are a classic
example of exactly what I am talking about! ....
Let's be honest ... sin is running amok
in today's America ... and it has increased exponentially since we as a society
have removed God from the public place, along with the Church becoming nearly
impotent ... The separation of Church and State has to be considered a complete
success, and the church's condition leaves little left to combat this rampant
sin!
Now because of this, I believe that
America's days are numbered. ... We already know about our nation's moral
decline .. how the 'gay' agenda has become the 'moral measuring stick' .. how
the family has all but disintegrated .. the rising slaughter of our inner-city
kids .. the rapid economic decline .... you know all the rest. ... This is the
kind of stuff that happens when God becomes an afterthought .. a hinderance to
the 'tolerance' movement. ...
Let me share two more issues that are in
the news right now that add to the devil's 'chaos agenda' for this country ...
*Atheism - We are seeing a plethora of atheist churches rising up all
over the nation .. and people , mostly young, are flocking to them because
there is basically no judgement ... the overriding comment being that it
removes their guilt from their lifestyles ... And what about the "Freedom
From Religion Foundation" based in
Wisconsin? ... They are experiencing much success in removing what's left of
God from places like public schools, the
military, townships ... the list goes on ...
and all the while the Church is teaching everyone how to get earthly
wealthy and happiness!
*Satanism - Has anyone noticed the rise in Satanism as of late? ... In
just the past few weeks, we've seen a raging debate in Oklahoma over a Black
Mass, and as of today, because of society's tolerance policies, it looks to be
going forward. ... We are also seeing other Black Masses being discussed in
other locations.
... In an article from just two days ago,
a Detroit Free Press headline said this ... "Satanists bring Devil to
Detroit" ... In looking a little deeper, the organization behind this is
the 'Satanic Temple' based in New York. .. They say this will be their first
chapter outside the state. ... Detroit is the first of 15 chapters to be
announced in the coming weeks. ... The
group's tenants include free will, compassion toward all creatures, respect of
other's freedoms - including the freedom to offend - and beliefs supported by
scientific understanding. ... They also say, "we believe in a
metaphorical, literary construct of Satan. .. He's a symbol of human nature,
the thirst for knowledge." ....
Upon scanning the rest of this story, I
found no reference to their 'religion' being based on the Bible's most evil
character. .... They seem to be totally oblivious to the dangerous territory
they presently occupy! ... The other sad truth is their propaganda about free
will and personal freedoms ... it is incredibly inviting to the young people of
our society! ... This is what they want in life .. to be free and do what they
want without the pressure of consequences!
(Sounds like some of the sermons I've heard in 'Christian churches)...
Seems like something that would originate from satan, doesn't it?!
So what do I think is in store for this
fallen nation? ... As I've said before, I truly believe America has raced past
the 'point of no return' concerning God's judgement. ... In looking at today's
headlines, and seeing all the chaos befalling us, we know beyond a shadow of a
doubt that all this cannot continue for much longer.
... I am going to 'step out' here and
make a 'prediction' as to what I feel is going to happen ... Because of
America's greed .. her love of money .. I think we are going to see a complete
economic collapse of the system as we know it .. and I think it will come in
within the next 12-13 months. ... As this takes place, we will see increasing
civil disorder in the streets ... maybe even evolving into a civil war. ..
Certainly the government has been preparing for it with all their militaristic
purchases. ... Will it be the end of
America? ... Will it be her death nell? ... Possibly, but I think the best-case
scenario is a much-reduced lifestyle .. a third-world' condition. ...
Why do I make these 'predictions?' (it is
NOT a prophecy & I'm not setting a date) ... It is because of all the
Biblical evidence that is manifesting all around us ... Blood Moons, Shemittah
years, birth pains, pestilences, wars & rumors of wars ....... No one can
deny that God's judgement is now here. ... I believe He has 'had it' with this
selfish, morally depraved, I/me attitude society. .... He is about to
"spit us out of His mouth."
(see Revelation 3:16) .... We are about to witness what is to happen to
a people that has removed God from its society! .. How sad for a nation that
really had a chance to repent, but rejected it .....
When Jesus taught about the Seven
Churches in Revelation, chapters 2 & 3, He always spoke of a remnant that
would exist in the Church. ... Are you part of that remnant, or have you joined
the ways of this fallen world? ... Jesus said that 'He was ABOUT to spit us out of His mouth' ... notice
he said 'about' ... that simply means that anyone who turns away from their
sins and the sins of this world will 'join His team' to do battle for the lost
in these final times! .... Everyone still has a chance! ... Hallelujah! ....
Shine the light and tell people about Jesus as often as you can, while there is
still time! .... God will give us the strength to endure these final remaining
battles ... Hallelujah!
Pray for me as I pray for each of you...
and remember, you are never alone out there ... God will NEVER abandon His
soldiers! .....
Until next time,
