Stand Up to Confusion
What looks like political opposition, anarchy and terrorism is actually the enemy of God seeking to destroy anything he can–especially all that is important to God. What we are witnessing is the battle between evil and righteousness.
While COVID-19 has impacted the world giving ample opportunity for fear-mongering, God is at work exposing the corruption and bringing justice. Depending on the news sources you rely upon, you will not know the truth of the times we’re living in. Deceiving people is the enemy’s specialty.
Hearing of the protests and rioting in Atlanta, Bakersfield, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, Des Moines, Detroit, District of Columbia, Houston, Los Angeles, Louisville, Memphis, Minneapolis, New York City, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, and San Jose and it seems the whole nation is under siege.
Learning that some cities are ravaged night after night while the elected officials who are to serve the people permit it, is entirely inconsistent with any rule of law and order. Hearing the mantra “Defund the Police.” to any rational mind is simply giving carte blanche to evil.
Governors ordering us to wear masks and stay inside, limiting the number of people in gatherings, not permitting churches or home groups to sing or chant and then ordering churches not to open. while bars and abortion clinics are permitted to remain open and clearly common sense has been assaulted, while our rights are violated.
The tearing down of historical statues with narrative that they represent evil agendas perpetrated by people against others, seems like senseless and chaotic destruction, unless you understand the method to the madness.
Consider the above with conflicting news reports about COVID-19 prevention and treatment, censorship of news and it becomes apparent there is an intelligent, albeit violent and destructive, planned effort underway.
Without a doubt what we are observing, and sadly some personally experiencing, is an all out attempt by the enemy to overpower and control us. What we need to understand is our responsibility in it all.
Sir Edmond Burke is quoted to have written, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Are you aware of what prompted him writing this? It was the sin of giving into political apathy. If Christians are surprised at the current events, it’s evidence of their willful ignorance concerning our culture–the very culture Jesus commissioned us to reach and teach about Him, (Matthew 28:18-20).
Our confusion stems from being uninvolved in cultural realities, being deceived about the extended reach of evil and corruption in every one of the seven mountains of society (Business, Education, Arts/Entertainment, Media, Family, Government and Religion).
Where Christian influence has been withdrawn, a vortex is created for the enemy to fill.
Some might ask why has God allowed this? And I believe the answer is because we have permitted it. Through complacency, apathy and neglect, we–the good men and women–have done nothing.
The urgency to address the lawlessness demands good men and women to intentionally get involved. To wake up to the reality that this world has always been in a battle with the enemy of God. Yes, Jesus has secured the victory, but the war is not over.
The Bible is clear, deception and confusion are of the enemy. He uses these tactics to prevent us from knowing the truth and to put us in a place of panic and fear. It causes us to turn on one another giving him victory. But let us recognize the enemy only has as much power as we give him.
What can we do? Follow the instructions from God to repent, humble ourselves, pray and seek God to heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14). And take what the Apostle James expressed to heart: “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:26). Now more than ever we need good men and women to get engaged with the “Cancel Culture” and work to restore ration, reason, law and order. We need to be part of the long-overdue reformation and we need it to begin now without compromise.
I’m confident God is calling each one of us to do something to join Him in His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Are you a teacher? Stand up to the confusion and ungodly curriculum our children have been subjected to. Are you a school administrator? Stand up to the control of the union to the detriment of our students and schools. Are you a doctor or other medical professional? Stand up to the lies the organized media is telling about prevention, spread and cure for COVID-19. Are you an attorney? We need you to help us generate the much-needed class action law suits. Have you ever considered running for the school board, city council, or state offices? We need you now more than ever. Are you a homemaker? Learn where you can volunteer or write Op-Ed pieces to counter the destructive narrative of our day. Are you a student? Learn the truth about our nation’s history and how students have been brainwashed for decades by revisionist history.
In fact, I recommend that we all become reacquainted with the truth of our nation, our constitutional rights, and realize our government is for and by the people. WE are the ones who have the power to turn the Cancel Culture around, if it’s important enough to us–for ourselves and our future generations.
I look forward to your comments on this article.
