God Is Gathering The Millstones!

There have been many times, as a Christian, when I could no longer remain silent about social issues that go against my deeply-held beliefs and the Biblical standards put forth by my God. This is one of those times. I understand that I am wading into controversial waters, and that I am swimming against the proverbial w•o•k•e culture. But nothing hurts my heart or my spirit more than the way the Enemy is coming after the children of the world.

From child-trafficking to child pornography; from the sexualization of children in the entertainment industry; to the flagrant sexual displays during story-time at your local library; and to the gender confusion being sowed within our educational system, it is time to protect all the children – before God decides He’s had enough. 

The other night, I woke from what I knew was a vision I had been shown by the Holy Spirit. Occasionally, I am well aware that my spirit is being taken to places to show me things that the Lord wants me to pray for, be sensitive to, or even personally minister to. This time, I was shown buses upon buses of emaciated children; the number was endless and it was a scene full of chaos and fear. They were frail, with sunken, sad eyes, and the strongest of them cried out to be rescued. I understood deep in my spirit that they had been treated unjustly and misused. The time I was there was short, but it was long enough for my spirit to know that the Enemy has been successful in putting our children in a state of bondage that is fast becoming irreversible.

None is more devastating and disastrous than the seemingly overnight pursuit of transgender surgery that is captivating the nation. Out of nowhere, this agenda is being normalized under the heading of “Gender Dysphoria”, which has become synonymous with a crippling disease or mental disorder [among those pushing this agenda]. Children are being convinced by teachers, internet influencers, and even the medical community that they are suffering from gender dysphoria, a byproduct of puberty, and they can be “cured” by surgical modification.

The word “dysphoria” means a state of unease or generalized dissatisfaction with life. Doesn’t sound quite like the monstrous condition that the medical, psychological, and pharmaceutical complex would like you to believe, does it? Yet they’ve been able to convince a disproportionate amount of children, young adults, and educational professionals that gender is a fluid state – that it is adaptable, changeable, and open to discussion. And lives are being drastically altered; physically, mentally, and psychologically. 

As often happens, God reveals to me His perspective on such issues, and I am able to see another cosmic chess move between Him and Satan. If you read this blog, you know my position that we have been engaged in a Seed War with the devil since he realized God gave mankind dominion over the earth (see Genesis 1:26-28). There’s been a battle ever since between God and Satan for control over man and the earth. Satan has tried everything he can think of to change the fact that we are made in the image of God. 

Attempts to corrupt our DNA is his favorite method. The Genesis 6 incursion of fallen angels to impregnate earthly women to give birth to hybrids [called Nephilim] didn’t work. God still found a pure bloodline in which to bring about the holy conception of Jesus. Wars and plagues and abortion and pharmaceutical inventions in which millions upon millions of God’s creation have died, has not enabled the devil to conquer the Kingdom of God on earth and take its inhabitants into ultimate demonic captivity. 

So, now we see Satan’s next move … capitalizing on the “dysphoria” of children and mostly young adults. What teenager has not, at one time or another, felt uncomfortable in their body, or as if they didn’t belong? Who can identify with looking or feeling different from “the crowd”? I certainly did. I didn’t fit the mold of the popular girls in school. I was too tall, with naturally curly hair. Every boy was shorter than me and all the girls had long, silky hair. But did I think I would be happier as a male? Quite simply, no. And it was never suggested. 

Yet the current generations measure themselves against popular and successful internet stars and influencers, many of whom are “manufactured”; they do not represent the majority of girls and boys, men and women, who are all different and unique in their own ways. So, can you perceive what a great opportunity it is for Satan to sow into this dissatisfaction? He can achieve his goal to change us from who God made us to be, while also introducing a harmful phalanx of hormones and drugs into still-developing young bodies. As an extra bonus, transitioning into a different gender means reproduction rates of humans goes way down. Satan must think he’s hit the ball out of the park. 

And maybe it's just me, but it sure seems as if another aspect of this is a war against women. There seems to be more young girls transitioning into men, with puberty blockers and harmful hormones insuring their infertility. We cannot forget the prophetic promise of God in Genesis 3:15 ... And I will put enmity (open hostility) between you and the woman, and between your seed (offspring) and her Seed...". If Satan can prohibit [or at least inhibit] the ability of women to procreate, I think that qualifies as enmity and open hostility toward the female gender.   

Please know that I do not present myself as any kind of expert to comment on the lives of people who find themselves confused about their sexuality. And you need to know that I am not “phobic” about any segment of our society. I try to look upon all people out of the compassionate heart and spirit of Jesus, who came to deliver us all out of captivity and bondage from Satan – no matter what that looks like in your particular life. I will let those who have experienced body and life-altering surgeries tell you their stories, in their own words. You can read their testimonies for yourself here and here and here. All I keep hearing in my head are the lyrics to the popular song, You Say, by Christian artist, Lauren Daigle … 

I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know

You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And You say I am held when I am falling short
And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe 
What You say of me 
I believe

Satan has managed to convince a generation of people, both young and old not to believe that the way He created them is enough. He whispers that they will never measure up … that they don’t belong … that they can never be sure who they are. That is all deception and lies from the Enemy! Each individual in uniquely created by God and loved for who they are. 

And perhaps the most disturbing thing about the harm being done to the children made in God’s image is that there are men and companies willing to profit off it! Medical transitioning through surgery and pharmaceuticals is Big Business! Billions of dollars are made off of human emotional pain and confusion at puberty, at the expense of those the conglomerates purport to be helping. The absence of a relationship with God in our culture has opened the door for Satan to introduce medical transitioning as the cure for all that ails you!

But God sees it all. He sees children being exploited in all the ways I’ve mentioned. We are all aware of Jesus’s stern warning: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea”. Considering the fact that a millstone in Christ’s time would have weighed 3300 pounds, it is not hard to perceive how serious God intended the punishment to be for harming a child. 

It makes me both sad and angry when I contemplate all the ways that Satan has sought to harm children just in the last 50 years of my life. It hasn’t been enough to kill them in the womb. He has also attacked them through sexual abuse, trafficking, temptation to perversion, and to the diabolical means of changing the very gender they were created to be. So many lives are being irreversibly altered through painful surgeries and harmful drugs. Through some of the testimonies I have read, it can cost $1.3 million per transitioning child. That’s quite a financial incentive for doctors and Big Pharma, wouldn’t you say? 

I pray that each of these precious creations from God will know their value and their worth to Him and to the world. I pray they will be spared all the pain [both physical and emotional] from any of the methods that are being utilized by Satan’s followers to rob them of their innocence. They are precious in His sight! He has created each one to His Divine specifications! And I pray that those who have harmed them will begin to see the danger they are in and repent of their evil ways. And Lord, I pray that You will appear to each child in their hour of despair and let them know that You are there with them; that they will be avenged for the harm done to them; and that You will restore their innocence on the Day of Judgment. Thank you, Lord, that You are our hope in the midst of this darkness!

Ephesians 5:6     Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

The Writing On The Wall

 

I have no doubt that this blog will not be found favorable among many of my fellow Christians who follow the prophets of hope and divine deliverance from the world's current deterioration. I want to point out that we really do have a lot in common -- our belief in the eternal promises of the One True God; our desire to seek a righteous life before the Lord and to serve His Kingdom; and our hatred of the evil that has infiltrated our culture. But as soon as I speak about what I discern will be judgment against the nations [and cite why we deserve it], then I sense a difference in the understanding of what our future might hold.

It is clear to me that the rise and fall of nations throughout history all have the hand of God upon them. No empire has lasted forever, and certainly not from their own power. And as Christians, we have ample examples in the Bible. In the Old Testament, both Israel and Judah were judged for their apostasy; arrogance; sexual perversion; hypocritical and corrupt priests and prophets; and the dishonest and immoral conduct of the rich and powerful. Injustice ruled the day. But many Christians will say, that was the Old Testament. They will proclaim that God set up a new covenant through His Son, Jesus Christ, and we are His heirs of a new Kingdom on earth. The will further attest that God desires to give us His Grace, Mercy, and Favor to defeat evil and help establish a new Heaven on Earth, with Jesus establishing His throne in our midst. God's anger and wrath is held for those who reject His offer of salvation.

But God's judgment against unrighteous nations continued in the New Testament. Bibleask.org gives a succinct and valid example in the case of Israel, God's favored nation. After the inhabitants of Judah were taken into captivity in Babylon in 586 B.C., the Lord brought the Jews back to their homeland and rebuilt Jerusalem to bring about His plans for saving the world through the Messiah. But after the Jews crucified the Messiah, God finally destroyed the nation of Israel by way of the Romans in 70 A.D.  The people were taken captive and the city razed to the ground. For thousands of years, God had been patient, waiting for His chosen people to fulfill their God-appointed assignment of taking the knowledge of Him to the world. As sad as it is, the truth is that Israel's rejection of God, resulted in His rejection of them until one day in the future when they will recognize Him as the Messiah that God had promised them, and He will restore them to their position as His world leaders.

Soooo, for those Christians who think that we will remain exempt from God's anger and that we will not stand in judgment for our own "apostasy; arrogance; sexual perversion; hypocritical and corrupt priests and prophets; and the dishonest and immoral conduct of our rich and powerful"  -- just as ancient Judah and Israel were -- doesn't know or understand the fullness of the character and attributes of God. Yes, He is "longsuffering", which means patient, forgiving, charitable, tolerant, and understanding. But He is also Holy and righteous. There comes a time when He says, "Enough is enough and I will tolerate no more". We have done everything that the rebellious nations in the Bible have done [and I'm not too sure it isn't more]. There will be a day of accountability. And I believe that prophets who deny that are mistaken. Perhaps they believe that there will be seasons of relenting, and periods of renewal. Or maybe they are describing what it looks like after the return of Jesus when there will be revival and restoration of God's Truth and Sovereignty. But if there is denial of judgment, then I believe they are not rightly representing what Scripture tells us.

I have always found such amazing insight in the Book of Daniel. As I mentioned earlier [and in a blog from April, 2021: The rise and decline of nations throughout history all have the hand of God upon them. Daniel, that great prophet of the Bible, who had favor and compassion from God, proclaimed that "It is He who changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings" (Daniel 2:21). It is evident that God determines the ways in which a nation progresses and develops. If a nation and its leaders stray from the precepts of God's counsel, then history will see them exit the stage according to His will.

The Bible gives us an example of this when Daniel interprets the handwriting on the wall at King Belshazzar's feast: God has numbered the days of your kingdom and put an end to it; —you have been weighed on the scales [of righteousness] and found wanting [deficient]. That very night, Belshazzar's kingdom fell to the Medes and Persians. It happened suddenly -- like "a thief in the night". Do you think the nations are found "wanting" today? What about the nations in Venezuela, Brazil and Central America whose governments have created such a surge of poor and desperate people to our borders? What about the nation of Mexico who has surrendered to violent organizations who extort its own people to benefit their trafficking and drug trade? What about our own beloved nation? What does God think of us as the Number One destination of trafficked and enslaved people? Aren't we due His wrath and judgment for failure to acknowledge Him as we continue to idolize wealth, power, sexual perversion and abortion, which is done in the same spirit as ancient child sacrifice? 

Take a look at Daniel 5 and read the story of King Belshazzar of Babylon. As he and his thousands of nobles feasted among Judah's stolen riches, they "praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone". Suddenly a human hand appeared and wrote Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin on the wall. It frightened Belshazzar so much he went weak in the knees. When Daniel prophesied the end of his kingdom (see above paragraph), he not only lost his power, but his life that night. Read that again ... his kingdom was destroyed that very night; taken from him like a "thief in the night". We desperately need to understand that when God says it, it will surely come to pass. 

Believe me, I do not like writing blogs like this. But if we cannot see the handwriting on the wall regarding our current situation, then we have fallen for a powerful delusion to lull us into compliance with the Enemy's plans to dominate the world. We must be bold and declare the Truth, just as Daniel did, even when doing so threatened his life. Silence has been contagious in the American Church. But Courage is the hallmark of a true Disciple of Christ, and it is contagious, too. That theory did not originate with me, but it has been true since the beginning of time, and especially true for those who profess genuine faith in Christ. 

My friends, it is time to recognize the handwriting on the wall, and decide that you will not hide in fear and silence. We were not born for this time to worry about ourselves and what we see happening in the world. It is only important to understand from the level that we can educate others to the hour of our destiny. And the good news is that I know there are pockets of righteous followers of Christ who are in alignment with the Word and walking in Spirit and Truth. They represent the Remnant that God will use to make His final moves on the cosmic chessboard. But the ultimate question we all need to be asking ourselves is this .... when the Judgment is final, and the Lord resides on the earth, "Will He know me"?

Psalm 110:5-7  The Lord is at your right hand; He will shatter kings on the day of His wrath.  He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; He will shatter chiefs over the wide earth. He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore He will lift up His head.

They Are Precious In His Sight

How do I express all the emotions I am feeling in the aftermath of the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas? This weighs so heavy on my spirit because, for seven years, my husband and I called the rural communities of Sabinal and Uvalde "home". We lived on 129 acres about 20 miles from Uvalde, which is where we did our grocery shopping and our banking; where the feed store we frequented was located, and where I got my hair cut and my nails done. When you live in rural Texas you form bonds that are forever, and although it's been 14 years since we lived there, we're still in contact with many of those fine people.

So, when the news flashed across the TV screen, I felt my soul being torn apart. My mind screamed, "NO!" as I held my breath, praying that no one I knew was among the shocking numbers they were reporting. "Please, Jesus, protect those children!" But the numbers kept climbing and the horror of the truth invaded my body, soul, and spirit... another school shooting and more innocent blood shed by an evil murderer. And then it came; exactly what I feared ... a woman I knew lost her granddaughter in the unimaginable horror that happened in that classroom. Lord, how do we defeat this evil that is raging across our land?

Notice that I didn't ask Him how we got to this point. I know how we got here. As a nation, we rejected God. We decided, as a culture and a society, that we wanted to rule our lives by our own will, not His. As a society, we began rebelling against anything that put restrictions on our behavior. We became arrogant and wanted to control our lives by our own permissive rules. That included our bodies, our morals, our family structures, our idols, and anything that brought us pleasure, no matter how debased or corrupt. And so, because the One who created us gave us Free Will, He gave us the desire of our hearts. He designed Free Will to be a vehicle by which we, His creation, could make our own decision to honor and worship Him. He could have created 8 billion robots that were programmed to worship Him. But He gave us the freedom of self-determination to decide whether we would acknowledge His majesty or not. 

And what decisions has our society made? Fifty years ago, we decided we didn't need Him in our schools, so we've had several generations of kids who have not begun their day in prayer or acknowledging that there is a Power greater than themselves. That power was transferred to the government who decided what children should learn to be productive citizens, which just so happened to persuade them to give up their freedoms and give more power to the government, which has led to government attempting to take over the role of "parent" to our children. 

Schools were just the beginning, though. Forty years ago, we decided that God's design for our bodies and reproduction limited our freedom of fulfilling our sexual desires. So, we over-ruled His Word which said to be fruitful and multiply, and rejected His declaration that children are a heritage and a blessing from the Lord. Instead, our modern culture has decided to make children a matter of "choice". And the consequences of that decision is over 60 million murdered babies in the womb.

But there are more consequences of wandering from God's ways. We have generations of fatherless and broken families. And do I need to remind you that "family" is a precious template of His relationship with us. The Bible tells us we are His children; as Christians, we are adopted into His family. But government convinced many of the members of our society that they were a better choice to guide and provide for the family than fathers. But we didn't stop there. Not only did we emasculate fathers as the heads of their family units, but we moved toward redefining genders altogether, and now encourage emotionally, psychologically and surgically changing genders because we "feel" like it. 

And then there's the issue of technology. I-pads have become our kids' babysitters. And if you think that the devil hasn't found a way to control their minds and hearts through technology, then you aren't paying attention. And technology has become a very effective method of feeding the vile passions of a nation who is exporting child pornography, human sex trafficking, and drugs among other things that God abhors. The absence of God as the cornerstone of this nation results in the kinds of horrific tragedies we have seen in Uvalde and Buffalo. How can children on the verge of manhood be so wicked as to shoot innocent men, women, and children?

The Bible makes it very clear that "[God does not overlook sin] and the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth because that which is known about God is evident within them [in their inner consciousness], for God made it evident to them [Romans 1:18-19]. BUT since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or consider Him worth knowing [as their Creator], God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do things which are improper and repulsive, until they were filled (permeated, saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice and mean-spiritedness [Romans 1:28-29].

The King James Bible says God will not overlook the sins of men who stifle the truth that He exists, and who refuse to acknowledge Him or consider Him worth knowing. In fact, He will give them over to a reprobate mind. That word "reprobate" is adokimos in the Greek, and it means "what is unapproved and rejected; by implication it is literally and morally worthless; God casts them away." In other words, God abandons them. They are too far gone to come back to Him. But our society is too willing to just label it as "mental illness". That's a nice sterile and safe way to describe the state of mind that has rejected God. But when we, as a nation, have removed God from our schools, our homes, and our institutions, we have created a spiritual vacuum that is devoid of moral guiding principles. And we all know that Nature abhors a vacuum. When God is removed, it will be filled with something else. And Satan is only too willing to fill that emptiness with His evil ways.

What the world witnessed in Uvalde, Texas this week was nothing short of the wickedness of a reprobate mind. The Creator of the Universe hated to see such evil perpetrated against those innocent children and two brave teachers. And my spirit grieves over the terror that they all experienced. But I cling to the knowledge that Jesus was with them in those horrific moments and gathered them to His bosom as He took them Home to be with their Heavenly Father. And if you are among the faithful of this nation who knows Jesus as your Savior, then you know the truth and the hope of that scenario. 

And if you are among those who have not acknowledged Him, then I'm sure you are scoffing at my beliefs. And on the other side of the coin, I'm sure there are Christians who think that I am painting too dark a picture of our country. That Jesus is going to invade the hearts of our nation and all will turn their hearts to Him and bow a knee. I join you in repenting for the sins of America and looking towards the victory that is ours in Christ. But I can't ignore the overwhelming evidence of a society and culture that has abandoned the ways of the Lord in so many areas of our national experience. 

And the answer to our plight does not lie in politics. According to the Pew Research Center, 88% of the members of Congress identify as Christian. Yet, our nation is drowning in debt; our border is being overrun with illegal immigrants; our youth are dying from fentanyl; our children are being trafficked, tempted to change genders, indoctrinated, and murdered at alarming rates. Does that sound like a nation that is walking in God's ways? I know that in far too many of our behaviors and practices we have abandoned God. I pray that God has not abandoned us. 

In the aftermath of the shooting in Uvalde, the country cries, "Do something!" We demand that our governing officials stop the chaos and the killing; create more man-made laws to curb our debased instincts. But until we turn from our own ways and following the gods that we have created, and come back to the God who created us -- the God whose heavenly laws are righteous, beneficial, reliable, and sufficient -- we will continue to suffer the consequences of our wicked ways.

I know it is God's desire that we change course, and that gives me hope that America still stands a chance. It is His will that we become a nation that repents of its sins, that values each individual, and that seeks to love each other as He loves us. But we have a lot of work to do. I pray it is not too late to stem the tide of evil that the Enemy is fomenting. We must invite God back into the heart of this nation! Let us turn this vacuum into an abundance of His Power, Mercy, and Grace. Let us return Him to His position of Authority in every sphere of our existence! Let the nations declare that America has restored the King of Kings to His rightful throne as Lord of this nation! And we trust with every fiber of our beings that those 19 sweet babies and their two brave protectors were welcomed into His Kingdom as He dried their tears and surrounded them with His overwhelming and powerful love. God, please take care of them until they can be reunited with their families!

Proverbs 1:29-33  Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord, would have none of My counsel and despised all My reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices. For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; but whoever listens to Me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.
