This country is in a dilapidated state. It didn’t happen overnight; this decline has been in the works before it became a nation. God already said what He had to say; He warned us what would happen if we turned away from Him. Please stop asking Him, “Why is all this happening?” We don’t need more proof of our transgressions. Do we really want Him to make it any clearer than: COVID, racial tension, economic deterioration, natural disasters, degeneration of our democracy, and who knows what else is simmering? It’s not a far stretch of faith to know: God is Not Pleased!

 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; ¹⁹ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

²⁰ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: ²¹ Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened (Romans 1:18-21).

History repeated!

In the days of the Old Testament, God would send prophetic messages through prophets like: Joel, Hosea, and Ezekiel to speak boldly of imminent destruction that would occur if they didn’t change from their ungodly ways. When the people didn’t heed to the warnings, devastation came; whether they were taken into captivity, overtaken by plagues, or left in deprivation—the forewarnings came to past—when God was not pleased.

Today, too many Christians only want to hear about the goodness and love of God; how He can bless them. The last time I wrote about the wrath of God, I had one reader to rebuke me; she told me that I should be ashamed of myself because God is love; and He would never allow all these problems on us.  She was partially right; He does love us, but she failed to realize—God corrects those that He loves (Proverbs 3:12).

Look around; our nation is in trouble. The good news: God provided help—the Church (the body of Christ). Jehovah-Elohim, All powerful God—equipped her to lead and not bow to wickedness. She has the wherewithal to carry out Heaven’s orders as she speaks: truth to power.

However, the devil evaluated the Church’s strength; he knew if she pulled together on one accord, she could damage his kingdom of darkness. Therefore, he sought ways to weaken her by injecting spirits of division and pride; he separated her along racial lines; he inserted socio-economic and cultural differences that heightened a spirit of superiority and haughtiness. Overtime, the Church relinquished her position of authority, and passively followed the world’s guidance.

God is Not Pleased!

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love (Revelation 2:4, NKJV).

When this coronavirus hit, I asked the Holy Spirit what did He want me to do? To my surprise, He didn’t tell me to pray for a vaccine, or for the virus to just—poof; vanish so our lives could return to a semblance of normalcy. Rather, He told me to pray for the Church.

Therefore, during this pandemic season of isolation, I prayed for the Church to use this time to repent, replenish, and refurbish her relationship with God so she can proudly take her position and present the Kingdom of God to a fallen nation.

If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I end pestilence among my people; ¹⁴ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turned from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:13-14).

If you ask Christians do they hate anyone, most of them, off the cuff, would probably deny harboring such emotions. They do not want to be associated with the negative connotations that are attached to loathing anybody.

Nevertheless, some of those same deniers might have overlooked the fact that the devil knows that about them; therefore, he has skillfully disguised hate under various assumed identities. For instance, unfair presumptions can feed animosity; misconceived ideologies can undergird prejudices; gospel in part can uphold self-serving agendas; and one of the most prevalent revealing forms of hatred today is hypocrisy.

He [Jesus] replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ (Mark 7:6-7, NIV)

Hypocrisy reveals the heart.

When we proclaim Christianity, we represent the Kingdom of God. Onlookers have a certain expectation of our character when we declare our standing in Christ. Consequently, when they see us abusing others, that’s a stumbling block for them. Nonbelievers can spot a hypocritical heart; that darkness damages the Christian’s creditability—just like the devil intended.

For example, when the world sees us excusing—downplaying wrongful actions of those we honor and hold dearly, yet scream crucify to others whom we disregard when they commit the same exact offenses—those discrepancies overshadow our witness. Instead of drawing people to Christ, the hypocrisy drives them away.

         Are you a stumbling block?

Jesus gave His disciples a stern warning about being stumbling blocks in Luke 17:1-3:

Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. ² It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. ³ So watch yourselves. (NIV)

Are you contagious with hate?

It’s easy to get our emotions knotted in all the negativity of this world. That’s why it’s not a good idea to hang around people of like minds when we are vulnerable; those vile feelings are highly contagious. If our faith’s immunity is too low to resist the temptation to hate, immediately cry out to the Holy Spirit for help!

Christians hating people can be looked at as an oxymoron because we are commanded to love one another (John 13:34). But let’s not dismiss this as a nonsensical concept so easily. This breach of God’s Word is more common than we realize.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? ²¹And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. (1 John 4:20-21)

Pay attention—actions speak louder than words!

Open your eyes—look around; don’t let the enemy con you into thinking that these heartrending disasters and consequential setbacks that are popping up all around the world are coincidental.

The frequency is astounding!

Look at the wildfires sweeping across multiple western states; take note there are several tropical storm systems forming at once in the Atlantic; observe the racial tension mounting; behold the veils ripped off deep-dark secrets and scams—let alone we’re still dealing with COVID. These are not spontaneous acts—open your Eyes and see; in spite of all this devastation, these are memorandums of mercy—warnings from Jehovah-Elohim—all powerful God. Hey, don’t take my word for it—ask Him yourself.

Don’t look back!

Right after 9-11, the churches were full; people flocked to the alter making all kinds of declarations and promises; but shortly afterwards when things calmed down—back to business as usual. They might have forgotten what they promised, but God didn’t forget. They sought and longed for the “good-old days” like Lot’s wife in Genesis 19:26. She looked back at all that she was leaving behind in Sodom and Gomorrah; she paid with her life.

Remember Lot’s wife. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it (Luke 17:32-33).

God is making it known that we have put our faith in people and establishments; He is not pleased. We pushed Him into another category other than first place in our lives. Look around, all that stuff we placed ahead of God is crumbling; even the United States’ two hundred year old democracy is slowly being chiseled away right in front of our eyes because of hate and greed. That should let us know man will sell us out; we better take hold of the unchanging hand of the Spirit of God.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help (Psalm 146:3).

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36)

God is up to something for our good. The hard road we’re traveling now is teaching us globally and individually—Who God is. That revelation is supreme to anything we could ever want or need. If we elevate our thinking and see all of this from His perspective, we would humbly surrender to these inconveniences.

The next time we find ourselves complaining about having to wear a mask; grumbling because we’re being told what we cannot do; we should think about how the Israelites murmured and complained going through the wilderness. Oh, by the way, that muttering lengthened their journey.

In the meantime, by faith, we should cling to the One in control; do what you know He’s telling you to do. If not now, when?

Bible believing Christians are not caught off guard; they know exactly why all this is happening. That’s why you hear many of them crying out: “Get right with God.”

I’ve said it before; and I’m going to keep saying it: El Shaddai—God Almighty—subpoenaed the world; stopped this giant marble in its tracks, and brought it to ATTENTION! I don’t know about you, but I take that as a STARK alarm. If you can’t interpret that as a serious move from Heaven, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to open your understanding.

Do things have to get worse before we take this seriously?

Ask God to Open Your Eyes!

The other day the Holy Spirit led me to go on a seven-day fast; not your typical deprivation of food fast, but a fast refraining from specific prayer requests. Instead of praying for a person’s health, finances, even salvation, and so on, the Spirit prompted me to take a different approach;  only pray that they cultivate a passion—a strong hunger for Christ. Everything a person needs can be summed up in that one prayer; that robust spiritual appetite will lead to endless possibilities as they fall in love with God.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled

(Matthew 5:6).

A drug addict craving a fix will do anything to satisfy that need; imagine a world where people craved God like that. I’ll take that a step further: Imagine the Church craving the Spirit with that degree of intensity. I’ll just leave that right there.

It’s okay if you disagree with me; but to be honest with you, I’m glad the local churches are momentarily closed. This pandemic offers us a time to identify our personal standing with the Lord. This closure is also perfect for people who are too dependent on the local assemblies for all their spiritual feedings; now they have to become responsible for preparing their own banquet spread.

If we individually seek the Lord with our whole hearts during this timeout, when the local churches do reopen, the Church will be on fire—filled the more with the Holy Spirit. Let’s go back to the drug addict analogy: Do you think the addict is going to stop doing drugs just because the drug house is out of commission?

No one can hunger for you.

When we ravenously hunger for Christ, we will pursue Him with every ounce of our being; nothing will get in our way; we will adjust our schedules so we can spend quality time with the Holy Spirit—not from an obligatory stance, but because we yearn to be intimately close to Him. We then want to learn everything within our understanding about Who He is; we want to please Him; witness to the world about Him.

Hunger Feeds Faith

When we seek God with that amount of determination, faith is never in short supply. As the hunger draws us to Him, we learn to trust that He will do what’s best for our lives; therefore, we have hope to believe what is not yet seen will come to pass.

Stay hungry!

I am blessed that I hunger for God; as a matter of fact, I can’t get enough of Him. However, I know not to take this passion for granted. I’ve talked to several Christians who told me that the hunger I have will somewhat fade overtime. That’s frightening! Now that I know that possibility is there, I’m more aware of the devil’s tricks. My prayer: God, don’t let me—let You go.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1 Peter 5:8)

Feast on the Word

The Word of God wets or entices our appetite to wanting to know more about Him. Helpful hint: If you find understanding the Bible too difficult, find a translation that you can comprehend; even if you have to start with a child’s beginners Bible.

I like to read passages from four different translations; each one broadens my scope. I also, study from a commentary that the Holy Spirit led me to. In other words, feast on the Word; get it inside your spirit; learn how to apply it to your life; it’s God speaking to us. (See Psalm 119:105.)

If you don’t have a hunger for Christ, ask Him to give you that craving. Once He does, protect it; don’t let a spirit of lethargy take it away; do whatever you need to do to stay hungry. It’s a funny thing: The more we feast on the Spirit, the hungrier we get.

It’s good to be hungry!

The world has spun out of whack; freewheeling haphazardly off course as it approaches a disastrous end. But thank God—the Church is praying; she heard a clarion call from Heaven and is responding accordingly. She has seen enough over the past few months to know there is an urgent cry resonating over the land. The Lord is calling on the Church (the body of Christ) to show the world—Who He is:

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last (Revelation 22:13).

. . . besides me there is no God (Isaiah 44:6b). Thou shalt have no other gods before me (Exodus 20:3). I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images (Isaiah 42:8).

Who’s in control?

GOD!

 The world brazenly rejects God; the consequences thereof are becoming more vividly apparent like in the days in the Old Testament—when God’s judgment came upon the people. Man’s arrogance is staggering as he erroneously thinks he can turn his back on God and fix what only El Shaddai can. But in defiance, he refuses to confess Jesus Christ is Lord. Nonetheless, periodically—El Elyon will remind him—Who’s in control.

The reason why we haven’t been consumed in the midst of all this rebellion against the Spirit, is because God is faithful. As the Church adheres to her responsibilities in 2 Chronicles 7:14, the Spirit will continue to pour out His love and mercy.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turned from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Since all this worldwide unrest, I’ve noticed the Church doing the following acts of faith:

• Prayers are evolving from: Lord change “this and that” to—search my heart; show me my errors.
• The Internet is showing people around the world kneeling and praying in the streets.
• Groups are organizing fasting and prayer chains.
• More sermons are being preached on the Church’s role during these heart-wrenching times.
• Faith and wisdom are drowning out man’s foolishness.
• More time is spent developing an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• Believers are searching for effective ways to witness to the lost.
• Current events are being viewed from a biblical perspective.

These are a few acts of faith I’ve observed in my corner of the world. These humble deeds signal a global revival is taking place. This probably won’t be the last time that the world spins out of whack; but we should be ever so grateful the Church, empowered by God, is doing her part.

I’m not going to get into all the psychological brain disorders that can cause a person to gravitate towards hatred. But rather, I want to talk about everyday garden-variety bigotry—the kind that is learned by watching the actions of others.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

(Proverbs 22:6)

At what age do we learn bigotry?

The old adage “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” reminds us that our babies are representations of what we feed into their souls—the good and the bad. When they learn to mimic our hateful slurs and gestures for no other reason than seeing adults, whom they admire—doing it; those impressions have dire consequences.

Whether we unconsciously or consciously stereotype and discriminate against one another, our children are internalizing those prejudicial sentiments. Is that the legacy we want to leave with those God entrusted us with?

Faith worketh by love.

 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love (Galatians 5:6).

We say we’ll give our children the world; but what they really need is to see us modeling how to love unconditionally—the way God commands us to love one another; for then, we have given them the heartstrings to God’s heart. God is Love! Faith in His love is what our children need to carry them through life. Love is the greatest weapon against the kingdom of darkness. Yes, it’s easy to love people we like; but teach the harder lesson: How to love those you despise?

It’s easier to hate who we don’t like—than it is to love them.

Teaching children to follow the devil’s dark agenda, will place our most cherished in his evil hands. He will then make them his slaves as he lures them into a life of insecurity, fear, and unrighteousness. When we discriminate and belittle others, we placate to the devil’s desires; those actions grieve the Holy Spirit.

Who is worth grieving the Holy Spirit for?

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. ³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. ³² Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Ephesians 4:29-32, NIV).

Let’s not rob a child’s innocence by passing on our old-crusted prejudices; break that generational cycle. If we want to leave our children a better world, let’s begin by showing them how to love and respect one another.

Teach children to follow the light.

. . . I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12).

What we see going on today reminds me of science-fiction movies I used to watch back in the day—only now with a tad bit of slapstick comedy mixed in. Yet, what we are witnessing isn’t make believe; this is real. Therefore, with faith and much prayer, it would be wise for us to walk circumspectly as we pass through this strange unsettling terrain.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me (Psalm 23:4).

Once again, God took me back to the rich history told in the pages of the Old Testament; for in those books, clues are recorded that will shed some light on what’s going on today. For example, in the book of Ezekiel 11-16, the Lord gave the prophet Ezekiel several visions of what would happen as a result of Israel’s disobedience. Even though the Israelites had been told not to emulate ungodly customs and religious practices, they turned their backs on God—and did so in spite of the warnings.

As a result, they were punished when heathen nations were allowed to defeat them. Nonetheless, through God’s faithfulness, Ezekiel comforted the people and gave them hope of restoration.

When you read the entire book, you’ll find all kinds of similarities that reflect our world today. Anytime you read a prophetic book in the Old Testament, you might find yourself substituting names of those long ago with people you currently know of today; sometimes the characterizations match perfectly.

Rebellion is a recipe for destruction.

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth (Hebrews 12:6).

Could we be in a similar situation? For sure we are rebellious; we worship idols (material possessions and people), we put our greedy desires over the welfare of those in need; we use our positions to suppress the weak; we place more value on our social standing than being in right standing with God. We, generally speaking, only give God our attention when we need Him to perform some act of mercy. Why would God place judgment on the Israelites, and give us a free pass for committing some of the same acts of abomination?

Yes, Jesus came and sacrificed His life for our sins, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be held accountable for our iniquities; we still have to repent and obey the Word of God.

God is in Control and He calls the Shots!

The earth is the Lord‘s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein (Psalm 24:1).

Think about it: Jehovah-Elohim, all powerful God, shut this world down; made it come to a crawl. You can’t tell me that’s not a SERIOUS move on His part. And, it’s going to remain incapacitated until His plan says otherwise. Who else has that level of command? All God has to do is SPEAK, and it is so.

We probably won’t ever know completely what’s going on; God will pour revelation into our understanding on a need-to-know basis. In the meantime, our passion/desire should be: developing an intimate relationship with the One Who knows what’s going on. The Holy Spirit will guide us as we travel through this—

Strange Terrain!

We can wear masks; we can stay at a proper distance; keep schools, churches, restaurants, and so forth closed; we can even come up with a viable vaccine; but that won’t stop the bleed of sin that has stained this planet. It has never been about a microscopic organism; COVID only pulled the alarm. This dire predicament we find ourselves in—the world can’t solve. This assignment was given to God’s people (see 2 Chronicles 7:14). My prayer is for the Church to open her eyes; and by faith, follow the Holy Spirit’s lead on how to stop the bleed before it’s too late.

Has God come down here?

This morning I was led to read Micah; however, I couldn’t get passed the first two chapters without seeing the startling resemblance between what was going on then and what’s happening now. God sent Micah to tell the people in the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah that He was coming down there because of their transgressions (1:3). Just like in Genesis 18:21, God told Abraham He was coming down to Sodom and Gomorrah because He wanted to see if their sins justified the punishment He had planned for them. Of course, all-knowing God knew what was going on, but by declaring that He was coming down exemplified the seriousness of the matter. Those drop-in encounters made me think: Has God come down here?

When I was a child, I knew exactly what my mother meant when she said, “Don’t make me come in there!”

I’m not familiar with all the sins happening around the world; but I do see what’s going on in the United States—and I know God is not pleased. We have always claimed this was a Christian nation; but the land was stolen; in addition, people were chained and brought here against their will. Did I miss something—how did that portray Christianity? And the sad part, those injustices, often disguised, are still taking place—when will the bleed stop?

Our woes are deeper than COVID!

God doesn’t take injustice likely. We can try to justify our immoral actions, but we know right from wrong. Have we turned our backs to God by allowing all this immorality to take place—on our watch?

We need to stop digging deeper holes of damnation; instead, fall to our knees and repent; ask the Holy Spirit to help us get our priorities straight. Stayed focused; we only have two jobs to do here on earth:

1. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind;
2. and thy neighbour as thyself (Luke 10:27).

If you love Me, you’ll keep My commandments (John 14:15).

It’s up to each believer to stop the bleed!

A lot of people can tell something unusual is taking place with all the disturbing events simultaneously occurring around the world. Christians who interpret these unprecedented occurrences from a spiritual lens usually conclude this story is coming to a climax. This saga is unfolding in real-time; and since history repeats itself, take note what is to come.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

The Bible is a living document.

The other day it dawned on me the narrative that was started back in the book of Genesis and carried throughout the entire Bible is continuing to unfold. I began to connect the dots; realizing how each person’s life is intricately intertwined into this long dramatic narrative; leaving no one out.

A few months ago, I wrote a post titled: Same Plot: In that piece, I suggested the importance of not overlooking the rich history embedded in the Old Testament; it helps us to understand what’s going on in the world today.

By reading or rereading books in the Old Testament that will familiarize us with prophets of long ago like Joel, Amos, and Obadiah, it becomes obvious that our lives are structured around a two-step plot.

1. God’s love and mercy always gave countless opportunities for people and nations to repent.
2. Lack of repentance was followed by consequences.

The daily news has me intrigued because I analyze it from a biblical standpoint. It’s amazing that the only things that changed from days long gone, are our modern-day mechanisms and protocols; otherwise man hasn’t changed one bit.

• People worshipped false gods then; people worship false gods now.
• People were self-absorbed then; people are self-absorbed now.
• People willfully imparted injustice to others then; people willfully impart injustice to others now.

I think you understand the point I’m making.

Don’t miss your cue.

Now that the narrative has reached us on the timeline, we don’t want to miss our cue. I think it would help if we could understand that our names are written in the script; action is required; we all have assignments.

If we’re not sure what we should be doing specifically for such a time as this, we should ask the Holy Spirit to lead us in the desired direction; and by faith—when it’s revealed—not to procrastinate. In the meantime, do what you know will please God.

Until the book of Revelation is fulfilled, this saga will continue spiraling on—if you do your part or not.

Not that anyone would want to, but here’s how to give the devil a belly-gushing laugh: bring some toy weapons to a spiritual fight.

Take a moment to let that sink in!

So, what are toy weapons as related to fighting spiritually? Faithless religious practices that lead to prayers that are not connected to the anointing power of the Holy Spirit. Usually people who are not fully committed to God straddle the fence sporting part-time Christianity; they don’t want to align their lives completely with Christ, but yet, they want the “Promised Land” promises to manifest in their lives—ignoring the conditions that are attached for such results.

They only want to listen to church sermons that offer pleasantries that soothes the ear; afterwards, they’re are left spiritually malnourished. Paul warned Timothy that the day would come when people would reject sound doctrine.

For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, ⁴ And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions (2 Timothy 4:3-4, AMP).            

When trouble strikes, those souls know enough Bible to quote: “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” But as far as the devil is concerned, that’s a toy weapon, because it’s spoken from a hollow vacuum. Please note: When this certified killer invades your life, he can recognize toys; and he’s not coming to play with them; he’s coming to kill, steal, and destroy. (See John 10:10.)

But still in all, there are people who settle for the works of religion over the power that can cause this killer to back off. They will tell you that it doesn’t take all that commitment to be in right standing with God. Guess who told them that lie?

It would be ridiculous for a United States soldier to go into combat without proper training and ammunition; likewise, we must be properly armed for spiritual warfare.

In these troubled times, why would anybody not be armed with the Word? God has given His angels charge over us to accompany and defend us in all our ways of obedience and service (see Psalm 91:11, AMP). We are in a spiritual war; however, those who have aligned their lives with the Lord are equipped for this battle. We Do Not Bring Toys to the Fight!

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) (2 Corinthians 10:4)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).

Don’t entertain the devil waving toys in his face; approach him with

WEAPONS empowered by Almighty God!
