[[Why is the hardest part knowing that God is ALLOWING this all to happen-....?]]
Why? Because as bad as thigns will get in our time, things are going to be much worse for our children- that’s why- It’s sad watching this nation turn it’s back on God- Things are going to be very very difficult for our children- We grew up in a BLESSED nation- a nation that was a good place to live and raise children in- Now that is being snatched away- and those who stand for God WILL come undr- ARE coming under persecution
Is it God’s will? Certainly, Does that make it easy? Certainly not!
But God sent His Word for any who would believe what would be. The words that God is ALLOWING this all to happen- have an accusatory sound. I am appalled by the pagans that are now in charge of we the people, but I am not surprised.
We have the script of what to expect, and we are told that IF we believe, God will never leave US or forsake US.... We are told what would be IF a nation or individual(s) leave and/or forsake Him.
Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as He hath declared to His servants the prophets.
Notice who was given the warnings the prophets from Moses to Malachi.
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, "Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth."
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, "Give me the little book," And he said unto me, "Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."
10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11 And he said unto me, "Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."
This comes from the prophet Ezekiel 3:3....
Knowing who wins this spiritual war (Ephesians 6:10-24) is the sweetest honey, but the script to get to the win is indeed very bitter in the belly. But we have not seen anything yet, this is a spiritual war fought in high places... including the majority that call themselves Christians.
Christ said these things need be, that cup of wrath is about to overflow, and those that love the Creator will have His loving protection.
This 'national declaration of pride' will not go unnoticed by our Maker. As will the acts of some who title themselves as holy fathers... Romans 1:21 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.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, Who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient:
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
I think the above pretty much covers the state of global affairs these days.
This is not God’s will. God has given us free will to turn our backs on God and sin.
The culture will make it more difficult to follow God’s will. We are only here temporarily. We need to endure like Christ did, so that we join Him for eternal life.
Just remember that love conquers more than hate does.
