State of the Union
(September 2021)
The United States of America is the biggest superpower in the world. It also has a tradition of being a Christian nation. This is obviously a problem for the devil. The beast that comes during the end of times will rule the world. He will be given the ability to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:7-8, NKJV).
In order to rule over the world, America must be knocked down to its knees. Its Christian traditions must be weakened. America must start following the rest of the world’s will and stop walking down its own path. The mindset of many Americans includes a fierce independence from government control. These independent thinkers, these folks that keep America independently strong, must be tamed. This will be done by government suggestion, then government incentive, and finally government force.
Let's look at some of the things the devil is doing to take us out by pulling us away from God's favor...
Population Control -
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it... (Genesis 1:28, NKJV). Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them (Psalm 127:3-5, NKJV). It's pretty obvious how God feels about having children.
Disciples look at the world through spiritual eyes. They know what is to come during the end times. They know the devil will twist, distort, and come directly against God's will. They know that for some reason population control is a priority for the devil. Ever hear of the Georgia Guidestones? If not, do some research on them. The people who want to pull America into the will of the rest of the world believe in population control.
​
The first on their list is to “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
​
​
​
​

​
​
​
Let's take a guess here. Do you think whoever made these guidestones were led by the Holy Spirit or the world? These are the words from Jesus just prior to the cross...Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out (John 12:31, NKJV). If they were led by the world, they were led by the devil.
Population control is also accomplished through abortion. We know that the soul is in the body before birth. Here David says all the days of his life were already establishd before he was even born...For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb...Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them (Psalm 139:13-16). Here Jesus said He formed Jeremiah in the womb. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5). Notice Jesus didn't tell Jeremiah He put his soul in his body as he was being delivered! John the Baptist leaped in his mother's womb in joy when he heard the voice of Mary, Jesus' mother. This is what John's mother told Mary...For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy (Luke 1:44). Now, do you believe our soul is in our developing body while it's in the womb? Watch an abortion once. Do you feel like that is God's will? Well, this is what our president thinks about it...

How about vaccinations? Could they possibly be related to population control? That's nonsense right? One of the biggest proponents of vaccines is Bill Gates. Let's see what he has to say, especially at 4:31.
​
​
​
In other videos Gates explains this away by saying people choose to have smaller families when their health is good, such as when they get vaccinated. Regardless, we need to pay attention to this stuff. This is all coming from folks being led by this world rather than the Holy Spirit.
Are you reluctant to get the covid vaccine? Be ready. Here is our president speaking about the vaccine. Pay special attention at 11:20, which is when he says he's running out of patience with those who haven't chosen to get vaccinated.
Money -
For various reasons the American dollar may be in trouble. What happens if the dollar stops being the world's currency? Since 1971, we have had a fiat currency which means there is nothing concrete backing it such as gold. It only has value because the world says it has value. Of course we know who the prince of this world is! What if the world turns its back on the dollar? What is the value of a fiat currency if the world decides it no longer has value? uh oh...
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10). We are not to look for handouts. It's God's will that we work for our money. Government handouts are currently stopping many people from going to work. Businesses are suffering because they can't find employees.
During the end times, the beast will control commerce. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name (Revelation 13:16-17, NKJV). Wouldn't it be easy for the beast to control a one world money system that is completely digital? Whether there is one form of money for the whole world or the beast simply controls all the different monies, it doesn't really matter. You may find it interesting to know that President Biden is trying to gain access into our bank accounts. Hmm, could this be a big step towards controlling our money?
​
​
​
The fact is that during the end times it will be wise for Christians to have a healthy garden, meat sources, self-protection, and connections with like-minded folks to help lessen the need for the rest of the world.
​
LGBTQ -
For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful...those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them (Romans 1:26-32). According to the Word, even those (our government) who approves LGBTQ are wicked! God made us to love and practice His Word. DEMONS make us do otherwise!
Our president is led by the world rather than the Holy Spirit. Here are some heads of his administration that promote the LGBTQ agenda. Yes, at 2:05 that IS a man.
​
​
​
​
​
​
This isn't just the federal government either. Some states fully support the LGBTQ ideology like Illinois.
​
​
Family -
In America we have a serious problem that isn't getting addressed. The problem is the family hierarchy is getting turned upside-down. Here is the correct hierarchy... Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is...Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the Word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:17-27).
Men, if you aren't taking the spiritual lead of your family, you aren't pleasing God in this area of your life. You can't be timid about this. You can't let a dominating, controlling wife push you into submission to her. Often with couples struggling with this, her Jezebel type spirits of pride, control, and disrespect work hand-in-hand with his Ahab type spirits of timidness, submission, and fear. Men, you have a job to do. You are supposed to love her and be patient with her just like Jesus is with the church, always willing to forgive her when she repents. You are supposed to wash her with the Word to make her without blemish when she meets with Jesus. This is what you must be willing to do and try to do, but if she rejects your leadership...that's on her. You must seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the solution and for long-suffering to withstand the demonic onslaught that accompanies her rebellion.
Women, FROM THE HEART you are to be submissive to your husband in everything. If your husband isn't living a God-pleasing life, God tells you how to help him. Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the Word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel--rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror (1 Peter 3:1-6). Dealing with your husband with a submissive, gentle, and quiet spirit is pleasing to God. Therefore, even if you don't respect your husband, aim to please God.
Children, if you want a long happy life, honor your parents. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth" (Ephesians 6:1-3).
Any family member that refuses to accept and submit to God's established hierarchy opens the door for demonic influence. Not only for themselves, but for their family. Jezebel and Ahab spirits can often be seen in generations of a family, set in place through a generational curse.
Offense, Unforgiveness, Bitterness, Pride -
"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:14-15). Forgiving people isn't an option. It's required in order to wage successful spiritual warfare. It's also required for salvation itself. How many proclaiming Christians you know are holding a grudge? They better start fearing the Lord! The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom... (Psalm 111:10).
People in this world are becoming way too easy to offend. They then feel entitled to hold a grudge, which is rooted in pride and self-righteousness. They are setting their own self-righteous standards rather than basing the standards on what the Word says. This makes pride a spiritually blinding demon. It prevents people from thinking they need deliverance. We ALL need deliverance!
​
Ignorance of the Demonic -
It's a sad state of affair. The church has dropped the ball. The great commission commands us to cast out demons, heal the sick, etc. The church doesn't do it! The church has a form of godliness, but has no power. But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5). This will allow the beast to turn people away from God during the end times because the beast will be walking in power while the church won't be.
There are a lot of Christians who stop fighting the sin in their life and choose instead to just accept it. They don't think it's possible to overcome it. This is because they don't know anything about demons or how to cast them out. When you are being led by the Holy Spirit and walking in power, anything is possible...especially the tearing down of the strongholds in your life.
​
Supply Chain -
A supply chain is the overall system of bringing products to the market. The American supply chain is compromised. The cost of shipping is increasing, there's a dramatic labor shortage, inventories are becoming depleted, and it's becoming hard to replace those depleting inventories. We seem to be becoming less self-sufficient as a country, requiring more products from other countries. Remember when President Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline?
How many of the products we rely on are from China? Hmm, who is our biggest competitor in the world and probably our biggest enemy? Who owns most of the products we rely on to keep things running? If China is our biggest competitor and enemy and they control most of our supply chain...we are allowing ourselves to be very vulnerable to them. We must stop being so naive.
On a personal note...our mini-van broke down several weeks ago. It's been sitting at a service garage about two hours away since then. I have no idea when it'll be fixed. The job itself is no big deal, it just needed a new alternator. The problem is that I need a new computer chip too. There's a national shortage for the chips. I wouldn't be surprised if it's coming from China!

​
The Spiritual Solution For Finding Peace In An Ungodly World
Learn the Word.
DO the Word. This includes carrying out the great commission in its entirety.
Let the Holy Spirit lead you in everything you do.
Put yourself through continuous deliverance.
​
As you do the above, you will be led by the Holy Spirit rather than your own thoughts, feelings, and desires. That's the key. The fruit of the Spirit will then blanket you. Among the fruit is peace. It's a peace you can enjoy even in times of turmoil. It isn't complicated, but it does take consistent effort.
My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing (James 1:2-4). Through life's trials we can learn to lean on the Holy Spirit. We can learn to follow His lead to get us through those trials. Trials are blessings. When we make it through a trial successfully by leaning on the Holy Spirit, we receive spiritual promotion. Therefore, when the devil attacks a mature disciple, the disciple doesn't whine or feel self-pity. Rather, the disciple forms a small grin and says "good."
