It amazes me how oblivious people are with the state of the world. The economic structure of America is crumbling, not slowing down or simply inflating, but crumbling. Small and corporate enterprises are closing all over and no one seems to care except the lives directly affected by these closures. The evidence of a financial collapse in America alone is beyond obvious; yet, Americans continue to live their lives as if things will magically become stable again.
Nations are rising against each other in an effort to establish political and financial dominance. Interest rates are all over the bloody place and certainly not in the favor of the borrowers. Credit and finance has become a trap that only leads further into slavery. Yet; Americans continue to bury themselves in debt because they simply don’t see another way out.
People overall have reached a new level of desperation, yet continue to act as if their lives are stable. The truth couldn’t be further from reach. The worst of it, is what’s to come for our children and the next generations. America is no longer the greatest country in the world. America has become a drowning pool of suffering for most. The most patriotic ignorant chant or flag waving won’t solve any of the issues this nation faces today. More programs, more stimulus incentives, etc… None of these will bring the peace and healing this nation needs..
The adaptation of normalizing uncommon sexuality has become nothing more than a political tool to fuel the democratic agenda. We live in a world where woman no longer stand for woman, when men no longer stand for men. The traditional definition of marriage, gender, and sexuality has been perverted beyond repair. Biblical warnings have been lost to hypocrisy and compromise, mostly by those who call themselves Christians. Wokeness, feminism, modern day politics, etc… are damaging the social climate of our society. To the point where people are no longer choosing to stand against sin and corruption. Compromise runs rampant and the land of the free has become the land of death and depression.
The facts are simple and straightforward. You simply cannot serve two masters. One will pull you away from the other in a constant game of tug and war for your soul. Satan has wasted no time in preparing for the darkest days to come. While the believing world stays lazy and content, the enemy never sleeps. He’s constantly working on ways to destroy what’s left of purity in this world. What do we do you might ask?? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. We complain and express our frustrations, yet we sit idle waiting for it all to magically resolve itself. I can say with certainty, nothing comes without sacrifice. Nothing comes without the willingness to stand against trends and this world’s social parameters. Short of being a radical, there’s simply nothing we can do to make any real difference.
I’ve spent the best years of my life wondering why I’ve never truly seen a great movement of revival. I’ve seen glimpses, but nothing like I know we could see. I’ve spent years fighting with God about my calling, my passions, my convictions. Years and years fighting an uphill battle with Jesus Himself about my life and my future. The truth is, until we all literally and utterly surrender ourselves to His will and commandments, we will never even have a chance in this fight. We will constantly continue to be kicked and beaten by Satan. He never sleeps and never stops. The moment we will see any resemblance of victory is when stop playing games with God/World, and simply refuse to compromise. You’ve heard, “You want it, you’ll have to fight for it.” This simply couldn’t be more true. What matters more?? Fitting in with this world or standing against it.
Until we make that decision, we will continue to lose this fight for Holiness and Judgment. We will simply be another generation of hypocrites who have given God a bad reputation by our actions and decisions. At the end of the day, I’m broken and desperately need Christ. I’m lost, depressed and simply not willing to pretend like everything is okay. Because it’s not bloody okay, not even kind of. I’ve lost so much, and yet still lost sight of how much I’m losing every day that I’m not committed and serious with Christ. If you don’t want to suffer, then head my words. Repent. Get on your face and repent. Cry out to God with everything you have and remember, you were made in His image. If He didn’t think we could overcome, He wouldn’t have sent Christ to die for a bunch of hypocrites. He knows what value and potential we have; if we would simply get out of His way and submit to His will. Oh.. and actual repentance requires actual change. Save your words if that’s all you have to offer. Your words alone are useless. Faith, without works, is ineffective and useless.
