There are several things on my heart the Lord wants me to share. It all ties together somehow. It may take a few posts...
Once we are born again with the Spirit of Truth in us, one of the names of the Holy Spirit, we begin to SEE all the lies we've been fed all our lives. The world is strong, powerful evil and highly deceptive and seductive in most every way and we need to unplug as much as possible from the "system". Yes, we are in it but should not be of it. But too many "Christians" have been way more "of it". It is called IDOLATRY. Cultural or nominal Christianity counts for nothing. Jesus said the only thing that counts is "a new creature."
But we've been lied to, even by the mainstream churches, that it's okay to be plugged into the world, it's entertainment and values, when deep down God's children know it's wrong on so many levels that they see others participate in. We do not live in a Christian nation. There has never been such a thing, and there won't be until the kingdom of God. America is falling because of her pride and greed. I don't know if she is Babylon literally, as in the whore of Babylon. I have often truly wondered, for more than 12 years...
All that to say, that it is PRIDE that causes the fall, and PROUD she has been and still is... So in this sense she is like the whore.... She thinks she is so blessed and rich and great and slowly she is crumbling and it's been speeding. But after a while she will come down with a crash...
And what of all the little children and youth indoctrinated into its' selfish, money seeking, fame seeking, system and lies.... with hardly anywhere to turn. All the while their parents let them drown, or ignore their drowning because they are too busy pursuing the almighty dollar or whatever else is deemed " acceptable" by this wicked society. It's just sickening and it gets to you after a while how corrupt and twisted everything has become. LIES LIES LIES. That is why we are SEEING the fall, if we have courage and eyes to accept it, and only the LORD allows for that.
Many "Christians" are not truly born again if they are following the world so comfortably. That is not real fruit. They have not been truly born of the Spirit, or they have fallen asleep by their idolatry or acceptance of the world's ways and all its' evil changes and progressions in depravity (as with accepting homosexuality as one obvious example and there are MANY)
Yes, we must throw down ALL idols and turn to the Lord before it is too late. REPENTANCE is a daily aspect of our walk with the LORD. If it is not there or encouraged by your "church" or good friends then you may need to consider whether you re in fact in the FAITH, as in the real walk of faith with Jesus Christ! He is the only savior from the destruction coming upon this land, this land that thought and thinks herself herself so high and mighty... Don't you too be proud or you will fall with her! Only THE LORD can save you-- not your church, not your family, not your own efforts, not your friends, not your money in the bank, not your nice house or good job, not your health or statuts, not your popularity or good talents, not your doctors or counselors, not your budget or your degree, not your position or knowledge, not your previous success or good luck, not your vacations or days off, not your medicines, not your special meetings or groups, not your significant other or mate ....Only Jesus Christ.
The Lord is the only one to fear. Fear of man will prove to be a snare.... It always does. We are to fear the Lord daily because we are living in PERILOUS times and He ALONE can keep us and rescue us. We must return wholeheartedly to the Lord...Only a remnant will be saved...
