"The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They did not keep the covenant of God; they refused to walk in His law, and forgot His works and His wonders He had shown them." (From today's Psalm reading, 78:9-11)
This is the end of all nations and individuals who are as, "the children of Ephraim." No matter how charismatic the individual, no matter how powerful the "super power," when, "they [do] not keep the covenant of God," and, "refuse[] to walk in His law, and forg[e]t His works and His wonders He had shown them," there is absolutely no doubt their epitaph will be, "turned back in the day of battle."
The fall of the "American Empire" is accelerating at an ever increasing rate. The most significant cultural change began in the early 1960s, sparked by the Super Power's outlawing of the Words of God and the Prayer of Jesus in its school system. Regardless of the ever-present evil in any culture, even from inception, the United States of America was dominated by Christian Principles for nearly 200 years. The 1960s witnessed an unparalleled break with the past, and I can tell you that the news report, which I have sent separately, is just another indication that the Anti-Christ spirit is growing in its influence and power. Political correctness, which is just code for rejection of Jesus Christ, His Church and Kingdom Reign, will be at the center of America's downfall. The accompanying article is just an example of what is coming to America, and no administration in our history has so facilitated the rapidity of Evil's progress as the current administration.
For those who may follow us on Facebook, I am trying to relate issues of prophetic importance without unnecessary editorializing that might give "opposition" excuse to not read what I post. I'm attempting to be more as our Lord commanded, "wise as serpents and harmless as doves." I am attempting to use whatever means our Lord Jesus Christ gives me to convey what prophetic insight He gives. There is much in the so-called "left" and "right" which has nothing to do with the Reign of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. I encourage all today to keep this in mind. One of the reasons I quote Bonhoeffer so much is that I believe he was a twentieth century man who saw this. We are not members of the Left or Right. We are members of His Body, the Church. This will increasingly be a difficult "membership."
If you are a "New Year's Resolution" person, I encourage you to commit to reading through the entire Bible in the coming year. If you are a "favorite portion," I encourage you to stop this selective obedience, which is really selective disobedience. These are increasingly difficult days. Some of the great personal trials which many of you are going through are personal manifestations of the cosmic struggle between the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness. But we are, "more than conquerors through Him Who loved us," and still so very, very much loves us. May it never, ever be said of you and me that we, "turned back in the day of battle.., did not keep the covenant of God;..refused to walk in His law, and forgot His works." Rather, "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me."
Father, in Jesus' Name, only You and Your Words, in the power of the Holy Spirit can so keep me. Amen.
