This needs to be heard and understood. The Lord is preparing a great move of His Word, His Spirit and His Gospel, but so many in the church are still distracted and surprised by world events, or more accurately , politics and upheaval.
We have to stop acting like we were not clearly told, warned and comforted about these days of trouble and the speeding up toward the Day Of The Lord. The entire Bible tells us of this time.
The World is going to find out where all of Gods Anger has been stored up in during this age of grace. He isn't blind to every evil act committed, and every horrible thing done. Every act of violence against a child, every unspeakable act done on the planet has caused anger in The Godhead.
There is judgement that is being stored, in a very real way. His wrath is being stored in a mysterious way that the bible calls The Bowls of The Wrath of God. His Judgement has been sealed and can only be opened by Jesus in thier time. (Read The Book of Revelation)
Believers today think we will escape all of the tribulation of the last days. Not so sure about that. Ask the believers in persecuted nations about that idea. The early church suffered horribly. They were burned at the stake, cut in half, be-headed.
We will escape the full wrath of God, but not so sure about the wrath of The Beast as he rises to power. Millions of believers have been and are being persecuted and killed by his spirit (spirit of anti-Christ)
I don't say this to enlist fear. Quite the opposite, we only fear what we don't understand or are surprised by. When we expect what The Word says to actually occur, which every believer should, we can stand with a confident hope.
We can face that darkness knowing God has prepared something much greater, and even as darkness falls upon the earth, He will cause light to shine upon and through His people.
What does that light look like in darkness??
Read The Gospels and pay attention to the ministry of Jesus. Read The Book of ACTS and pay attention to how believers continued The Ministry of Jesus. It describes The Light (Jesus) coming into the the darkness (the world system and the enemies kingdom) .
The Lord has plans for His Church in the days ahead. There is a HUGE HARVEST He plans on bringing in. He will do it. Will you be part of it, or will you be protesting and carrying your gun with your 2nd amendment shirt on? Will you be part of His plan or will you be so caught up in politics and the noise of nationalism, you cant even see The Kingdom Of God being reveled on earth?
Will you be like the zealots that mocked Jesus and discounted Him because He came with a message of love, forgiveness and healing, instead of nationalistic power to kick the Romans out of Israel?
Will you be like them that had miracles, signs wonders and power operating right in front of them, but they were so blinded by carnal things, they had no place nor part in it, except as a tool to bring persecution to believers by stirring up hatred toward them.
Eye hasn't seen , not ear heard what God has planned in the final days of His Church on earth in this age. Don't fear, it will be good, very, very good. When you see the storms, pray for protection and seek Gods plan for you to bring peace in it.
When you see pestilence, disease, shaking, darkness. Don't get in fear and look for somebody to blame. Seek God, be at peace and get instructions of what your part is to bring His Light to it.
Yes, weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. Be sober minded and focused. Like a warhorse honor your Master Jesus and press on as He steers the reigns of your heart. Be gentle, but strong , kind but resolute. Protect the weak , guard the feeble, turn the other cheek, but be bold and courageous in persecutions and successes.
