When I look at things today here is what I see. My first comments will be from the natural and wont be to encouraging. Today the forces of the anti-Christ have polluted most of our institutions. The church,schools,courts,hollywood,news media and our government have been over run by those who don't believe in God and aspire to socialism. Right has become hate speech and lies are now truth. In politics its no longer dems vs GOP, its globalists vs patriots. The new lines aren't drawn yet and a battle is on for control of the narrative. Our schools are stealing our children and unless or until we recover the schools we will witness the end of our great way of life. Evangelicals have come to believe that our way of life is biblical . Their fight is to preserve our political system and their way of life. The bible is full of comments of how bad things get in the days of the end. At the same time however the bible speaks of a movement called latter reign. Jesus made a statement of how the field was white to harvest but the workers were few. So we have to look beyond the natch. We are not going to see Christianity rise up and take control of the earth but we will see a powerful movement rise up at the same time evil grows rampant. We must remember that politics and our free way of life is not the end we seek. In 1st Peter we are told that masters are to treat their servants well and servants are to be good servants. Nothing is said about social freedom. We must not try to use the political system to effect how others think. We must return our thoughts to the only lover our souls will ever know. We are to care for those around us. This is done one soul at a time. Mass groups and gatherings are great but often only produce emotion. When Jesus rose to heaven He left no organized group or superstructure. When the apostles got the infilling of the Spirit they were dispersed. The church was families and neighbors enjoying His presence and loving others out of His overflow. WE must return to the singleness of purpose He places in our hearts. It is our calling to expose others to His wonderful presence. If we try to advance anything other then His love,power and presence we are adding to the gospel. If we try to establish a system based on rules and regulations we will fail again and again. If we have nothing to offer other then great arguments,large organizations and emotions then we will be ridiculed by the liar and his minions.Change and revival starts 18 inches below our noses. So yes things look bad but we know who wins. Seek Him and Him alone. Enjoy Him it is His desire for us. Be filled to overflowing with Him and leave a trail of water where ever we go. He will never leave us or forsake us.
