Distractions!!!
Have you notice all that is going on I the world to bring people to a mindset of hopelessness? It's obvious the spirit of lawlessness and a spirit of anti-christ is at work.
The church denomination I love and serve divided over human sexuality issues.
The government politicians radically divided over defining the constitution and carring out an agenda that harms us and does not help us and is for their own self gain.
Racial anger displays in the streets which are actually in rebellion toward government and authority; which has lead to the death of those who live to protect and serve.
"Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king." I Peter 2:13-17 NKJV
Personal Offense due to political correctness has the modern church in bondage and the world enslaved to the feelings and emotions of others.
Jehad... Need I say more?
The Devil and the demonic forces sit back and belly laugh at the distractions they have sold us and desire for us to destroy each other and live in a trapped mindset of offence and division.
With all this physical and spiritual unrest going on...
I BELIEVE WE ARE ON THE PRECIPICE OF THE GREATEST REVIVAL IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
You can sense it in your heart...GOD is ready to pour out an abundance of blessings as never before. Hearts are being fined tuned to call upon the name of the Lord. We are living in a time of great CHAOS. Chaos always calls for the Spirit of God to hover and create, change, and transform.
LORD. SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH POWER TO SAVE, HEAL, AND TRANSFORM. LET HIM HOVER OVER US IN THE MIDST OF OUR CHAOS!
Send forth labors...the field is ripened unto harvest. The people are out there mixed in the tares... Let's go and gather for the Lord in power and the LOVE of the FATHER!
Matt. 13:30: "Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."
Blessings,
