The
very first place where a lie was told to, and received by, mankind, was
in the Garden of Eden. It’s the place where Satan landed when he
rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. The geographical location
of it can be pinned down to somewhere inside modern day Iraq. The location
where man rebelled against God, and sin got it’s initial entrance
into the world was...Iraq! It’s the seat of Satan’s stronghold.
The oldest, strongest and most wicked principality-----the anti-christ
spirit has its roots there! Is it no mystery then, that before
the rapture of the church, this spirit, and its stronghold, MUST be confronted
and pushed back? God ALWAYS goes to the ROOT of a problem. Before the
church can come into her place of destiny in this earth...before she is
to be raptured out of here...what has held the world in it’s iron
grip...must be confronted and defeated by her! You say, “but
Jesus defeated Satan and all his host 2,000 years ago on the cross”!
Right you are! But the victory that Jesus won over His archenemy must
be manifested and revealed to the world through His body in
the earth before the end of the age! That is what will bring the end-time
great world harvest of souls into the Kingdom of God before the rapture----the
glory of God coming upon His faithful ones, in the midst of a world gone
mad under the influence of this spirit of Babylon-----the anti-christ
spirit. (Is. 60) II Thess. 2: 16,17 speaks of this group of faithful followers
of Jesus who will withstand, and hold back, the spirit of anti-christ
until they are removed from the earth. Then the embodiment of the anti-christ
will appear on the world scene, and the 7 years of tribulation will begin.
You can read
in Daniel about what dispossessed a principality over a region or kingdom.
It was when an outside invading army came in and conquered that kingdom.
WAR is involved when God is bringing down a stronghold over a
nation! For the last two thousand years, the 10/40 region has been virtually
impenetrable by the gospel. This MUST come to a close before the end
of the age, because God has prophesied that the whole world will be
filled with the glory of the Lord! That means that Satan’s seat
must be defeated and backed off for a short period of time, to give
the world a window of opportunity to come to Jesus! Iraq is the key
to this being done! Iraq MUST be taken, it’s borders opened to
the gospel; and then a domino effect will occur as other nations, now
radically opposed to the freedom of the gospel, will too be THE
ANTI-CHRIST SPIRIT... As
many of you already know from past newsletters, Is. 30:25 prophesied
the twin towers falling and an invasion into Assyria following. Assyria’s
boundaries can be seen on one of the maps in the back of most any Bible.
It consists of a huge Middle Eastern landmass that includes modern day
Iraq. An invasion into this region MUST occur for God’s will to
be accomplished in the earth! Verse 8 of Is. 30 tells us that this will
come to pass in the last days. Well, it has! Is. 31 goes on to tell
us more about this war. The defeat of these mid-east nations is in DIRECT
relation to God’s people repenting of their sins, turning from
their idols, (getting priorities in order) and returning to God in TRUTH...not
just possessing a religious outward form. It’s a call for the
people of God to GET RIGHT WITH GOD!!! Why? Because we CANNOT defeat
the SEAT of this spirit if we are IN BED WITH IT IN OUR HEARTS!! The
spirit of Babylon is also called the spirit of this world. It’s
Satan’s world order. So...what’s
our part? First, and of MOST importance, is to recognize the spirit
of anti-christ, so as to remove oneself and remain separate from it’s
influences! As God is judging this principality, anything connected
to it will likewise fall under His severe hand of judgement. Don’t
be so naive as to think this judgement from God will only be in the
Middle East. That’s where the “seat” of this spirit
lies, it’s “root”...but it’s effect, and the
“fruit” of it, has spread over the entire earth. When God’s
judgement falls, it will fall on all that is This
spirit will always “confirm” the “covenant”...that
is, “say” that it agrees with the fact of Jesus dying on
the cross, etc., but will insist that no sacrifice need be made on the
part of the individual. Christianity without cost, thus a “crossless”
Christianity. A “belief” in Jesus that makes no demands
on a person’s charachter. Live for yourself, however you want,
because “grace” covers it all! The anti-christ spirit always
boasts of great things that it has no intention of fulfilling. It’s
a lying spirit. It says whatever needs to be said at the moment, to
get the results it desires. I call it the “little horn with the
big mouth”! Truth means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to this spirit. Matter
of fact, this spirit’s intention is to “cast truth to the
ground”. It flatters. It seduces people by flattery, manipulation,
and by promising things it has absolutely no intention of delivering!
It’s only intent is in gaining POWER! Power over an individual,
a church congregation...or a nation. It loves religion...but hates the
power of God. It “makes claims” to it’s own “religiousness”
but won’t pay the price of a holy lifestyle. Matter of fact, it
will even endorse an unholy lifestyle in the name of “tolerance”!
It will make “claims” to believing in God’s laws,
but lives separate from them. Thus, what it “says” and what
it “does” is two totally different things! It HATES anyone
who makes a stand for truth and righteousness! When a government, or a political party, begins to appropriate laws, and express vehement anger against those who believe strongly in Judeo/Christian based beliefs, and are seeking to walk in integrity; you can be sure that the anti-christ spirit has gotten a stronghold in that political entity! When a political party adopts a forum that supports those things that God abhors, such as abortion, and same sex marriages, etc., you can be assured that party has come under the influence of the anti-christ spirit! I John 2:15-3:3, and II John 1:7-11, is a strong warning to the “last day believers”, to not be deceived by the spirit of anti-christ. It goes on to say that it is a liar. That in lying, it denies that Jesus is the Christ. But it says you know the truth, and gives a warning not to depart from it. It warns us to look to ourselves, or “pay attention”, that we don’t lose what is ours in Christ. It also warns that anyone who aids this spirit, and its agenda, in any way, is a partaker of it’s evil deeds. You CANNOT separate what you believe and how you live and vote! MANY
people, who claim Jesus as Savior, voted this last year in accordance
to a political party that has come under the influence of the anti-christ
spirit! Though this political party, at one time, stood for Godly principles;
this is no longer the case...nor has it been during the last 3 elections.
To remain loyal to ANY person, organization, or denomination, on the
basis of what they used to be, is to place one’s loyalty to that
entity over loyalty to Christ, and obedience to His Word! In fact, it
is “bowing” to the anti-christ spirit! (That which is anti
(against) Christ) The Bible clearly says that Jesus and His Word are
one. They cannot be separated! To join oneself to something whose platform
is immoral,is to place oneself in direct opposition to God’s Word,
thus also positioning oneself against Christ! Unless they realize what
they have done and repent, they will bear the judgement of God for the
innocent blood of babies murdered daily in abortion clinics, and will
come under the curse that comes upon all nations that exalt what God
calls an abomination. To deny this fact is to deceive oneself. The Bible
clearly warns that to empower these evil agendas is to become a partaker
of it’s judgement! We empower political agendas by our vote! It
matters not, what party won, but what we supported by our vote! When
that agenda takes a stand against EVERYTHING God hates, and we agree
with it by giving it our vote------we have just aligned ourselves to
an ungodly agenda, thus placing ourselves in direct opposition to Christ
and all He stands for! I
realize that a lot of people did this in ignorance. That is why I wrote
this. (Contrary to popular opinion-----I don’t have a “love”
for receiving angry letters!) My heart is to TURN the body of Christ
from a place that has put her in a position under God’s judgement,
to a place of repentance, so she can receive God’s forgiveness!
If you are “spitting mad” at this moment-----please, I beg
of you, to take the time (before you write that ugly letter) to study
this out. If you will be honest, you will have to admit that faithfulness
to God’s Word, and His holy standards, is to be expected over
faithfulness to a political party or even a religious denomination that
has departed from God’s precepts!If you read this----and realize
that you have, in some way or another, joined yourself to something
that has departed from God’s standard-----you can repent, turn
away from it, and be freely forgiven! Do not let the guilt of it continue
to weigh on you-----take it to Jesus! He LOVES you and will forgive
you! We have ALL been deceived some time or another. Learn from it and
move on! To
be separate from anything that bears the “mark” of the anti-christ
spirit is the key. Learn to recognize it’s “M-O” or
“mode of operation”, and depart from anything that carries
it’s likeness! These days are critical. It matters not, what a
church organization or political party used to be...what does
it stand for now? Our true “heart loyalties” are
being tested. Don’t be concerned about the microchip, that’s
already being used in animals, that the anti-christ will make use of.
The “mark” of the beast is more than a microchip! Before
people receive the mark of the beast, by taking the chip, they will
have already been “marked” in their heart! Heart allegiance,
to anything in compliance to the anti-christ’s nature and agenda,
At
the end of 6,000 years, we find ourselves back to the exact place where
man lost his glory in the first place, confronting the very spirit of
Satan that we initially lost to. Will we succeed? God seems to think
so. Keep our eyes on the news in the Middle East, but |
