It’s now a fact, recognized by more Americans than ever in this generation – the battle to preserve our society of liberty is a spiritual war against demonic principalities in high places. And it’s more evident now than ever before in our lifetime. The question is – will God’s people who are called by His name, not only humble themselves and pray, turning away from their wicked ways, but will they take action to be the preserving salt of influence on our society or will they continue to be ‘trampled’ by society’s mountains of secularized influence?
The Power of Keeping People in Darkness (ignorant)
Can there be any question that the gross darkness of ignorance, prevailing in today’s society, is the result of anything less than deliberate re-education? Historic disciples of Marx, Lenin and Mao know very well that society-wide ignorance depends on two things:
- the perversion of true history, and
- the censoring of moral truth found in God’s Word.
Paul insisted that Christ-followers “prove .. or test .. all things.” Why? Faith in God, in the Bible or all truth, for that matter, comes by hearing the Word of God! Without a clear and spoken declaration of relevant, Christ-glorifying words (Greek for spoken word = Rhema) – words of God’s timeless truth – people are lost in confusion, deception, and pop culture entertainment. It’s all empty of any substance that would challenge us to seek God.
Americans face coming elections that are crucial to our freedom and well-being. Many argue they are as important as any election in our nation’s history. Yet, the mountainous influence of public education, main stream media, big tech and big pharma has effectively fashioned voters into the UN-united States of America. It’s a total charade. For decades, it’s been a completely corrupt series of schemes to confuse and divide us. Many citizens have been rendered completely unable to see that we’ve become disconnected from our anchors of morality, historic roots and God’s truth.
Only 4% of Americans now hold to a Biblical worldview (down from 6% in 2023 and 12% in 1994)
Worse yet, only 2% of American millennials actually hold to the basics of a Bible view of their world. That’s pretty disturbing news, since over 80% still claim to believe in at least some biblical principles. (according to reports of Arizona Christian University’s Cultural Research Center). (Most Americans, over eight in ten, may believe some Biblical principles but often think and live in ways that conflict with the Bible.)
Barna’s definition of a biblical worldview included affirmation of seven basic doctrines:
- First, the existence of absolute morals communicated through Scripture.
- Second, Jesus Christ lived a sinless life.
- Third, God is the all-powerful, all-knowing Creator of the universe and He stills rules it today.
- Fourth, salvation is a gift from God and cannot be earned.
- Fifth, Satan is real.
- Sixth, Christians have a responsibility to share their faith in Christ with other people.
- And seventh, the Bible is accurate in all of its teachings.
I wish he had included one more – that Christ made it clear that all humans are accountable for their words and actions and will be judged by God in the future.
The 4% of Americans who have a Biblical worldview represents a drop-off from 9% in 2009, according to Barna.
This is a dismal low for citizens of the USA who say they embrace at least some form of Biblical Christianity. Do you think Genuine Christians need to honestly recognize that our culture has declined to an unacceptably shallow approach to whole truth? Should genuine Christians make some kind of effort to improve that condition? Almost nobody denies that many Christians today have a lot of misconceptions about Scripture. They establish beliefs about truth based on misquoted verses without full context. That’s because they’ve been taught by preachers who miss things, like the balance of God’s righteous requirements with the amazing mercy of His grace.
Look at some Examples of misguided beliefs
Acts 17:28 says: “in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Many focus this on “me” – with a personal fuzzy feeling about God’s care for His children. But what happens when we read the whole context? Begin with verse 23 when Paul preached to the pagan intellectuals at Athens, Greece.
“What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation (ethnos) of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for ‘In him we live and move and have our being’ as even some of your own poets have said, For, we are indeed his offspring.”
Paul speaking to Athenian pagan intellectuals in Acts 17:23b-28
Does that have a much deeper and profound meaning now?
Another is God’s personal midnight declaration to King Solomon after his dedication of the newly constructed Temple in Jerusalem in 2 Chronicles 7.
“if my people humble themselves and pray and seek my face… then will I hear from heaven and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
No one doubts that repentance from our humble free will is a noble preface to effective prayer for our country… but read the whole context starting at verse 13 and then on to verse 19-22. God Himself said:
“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence (plague) among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. …
But God had much more to say to Solomon…
“And as for you, (Solomon), if you will walk before me as David your father walked, doing according to all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my rules, then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not lack a man to rule Israel.’
But then comes the stern warning…
“But if you turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, then I will pluck you up from my land that I have given you, and this house that I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. And at this house, which was exalted, everyone passing by will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?’ Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore, he has brought all this disaster on them.’”
God speaking to King Solomon 2 Chronicles 7:19-22
Now, honestly, how often have you heard that sobering kind of exhortation in the context of “God’s promise to “heal our land” if we pray?
One of the most often misquoted Scriptures is Jesus’ declaration that:
“..the truth shall make you free…” in John 8:32.
We’ve got to read the whole statement Jesus said to his disciples, starting at verse 31.
So, Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Our society is ruled by a Deranged Strategy of Exalted Demonic Powers in High Places
You don’t have to be much connected with politics to see that today’s Democrat Party is, in all honest reckoning, flat out insane – or as President Trump put it, ‘totally, stone-cold crazy.’
“Democrats demonize and ‘defund’ the police that protects them and then complain when crime skyrockets. They encourage violent communist-anarchist mobs to burn down our cities. They insist they can change the earth’s weather by adopting a bizarre totalitarian-socialist program that would destroy our economy and annihilate individual rights. They believe convicted terrorists should be allowed to vote from prison. They believe a beautiful, full-term human baby about to be born, can be slaughtered at will. They disagree with God, insisting that there are dozens of different genders – and that men can get pregnant. That is insane.”
What’s happening in the Party of Derangement
World Net Daily editor, David Kupelian, before the 2020 election, wrote in his essay about the Trojan horse of our time:
“Today’s Democrat Party has become possessed by the dark revolutionary spirit of Marxism, which in reality is based on hatred and rebellion against God, against His commandments, against His morality, against the very idea of objective truth. Marxists want their own truth, their own laws, their own morality, their own biology, their own science, their own heaven … on earth. They want nothing to do with the Judeo-Christian values that have long served as the moral foundation of America – which they openly hate. And yet, these are the very people who believe they’re much more intelligent and moral than you, and who, in just a few weeks, fully intend to take over America forever.”
Forever?
Rush Limbaugh, just before the 2020 election, put it starkly: “If the Democrats win, that’s the end of democracy. It’s the end of the two-party system. We’re going to have a one-party government that is going to devote itself to eliminating all opposition. That’s what’s at stake. If they win, I think the Republican Party essentially ceases to exist.”
Isn’t it interesting how, after four years of chaos and only one year of decisive patriotic leadership that it’s the Democrat party that is falling apart while the Republicans are trying to rediscover themselves?
What are all of us seeing more clearly now? The wicked controlling powers of society at all levels of politics, information distribution, and corporate business… mesmerized most of the population for generations. Common sense was almost lost. Americans were conditioned to not think for themselves. But with all the exposure of evil in the years since the gross manipulation of public thought during the Covid Plandemic, things have greatly changed. But that doesn’t mean it’s okay for truth-tellers to kick back.
A Clear Prayer for God to Rise Up Against the Wicked!
If we American Christians don’t persistently petition our Lord for His mercy, guidance, and protection for our nation, and do everything in our strength to use our God-given abilities and influence to urge fellow citizens to actively vote, the influential ‘gates of hell’ will corruptly steal the coming election. If we don’t get deeply serious about being the beacons of light to our communities – ongoing from here on – our feeble testimony will be squelched by tyrants who hate God and hate you.
“Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers? If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.” Psalm 94:16-17
How desperately do all of us need God’s help?
Tyranny requires four things. Truth must be silenced. Real history must be erased and rewritten. Public speech has to be restricted. Even individual thought must be controlled.
In this time of constant turmoil, false flags, wars, civil unrest, and now internal bio-terrorism and manufactured pandemics, a major agenda of the demonically influenced state’s ruling class is to silence all dissent, and mandate conformity. And remember, the reason many of our fellow Americans live in denial of that reality, is because of the natural human inclination toward “normalcy bias.” They have a hard time believing their state of what they thought was “normal” can never end. Our brains are wired to resist change. But there is a globalist ruling class, whether we want to believe it or not. But, what many of us miss is that Jesus IS King over all earthly kings. He is the one who sets up kings and brings kings down. And Jesus has all authority in heaven and earth. What’s more, is His genuine delegation of that spiritual authority to His disciples. And it’s not to use thoughtlessly, but to exercise on behalf of the direction of the Holy Spirit who lives in us and will never leave us or forsake us.
Considering tyranny’s plan for total control, it’s imperative to stifle criticism and keep the power to control the widely public mainstream narrative, while aggressively eliminating all resistance and questioning. Unless things continue improving, nonconformity will not be allowed if global governance and a global reset are to be successful.
As 2020 unraveled America saw censorship in ways never seen in our history
… and with all the advanced technology we have, this despicable plot to silence thinkers and hide the truth affected all forms of speech.
It’s gotten more challenging to find truthful information, as those like Google, Amazon, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and others are still deleting content and access to content. But, thankfully, more independent researchers are voicing their content on new platforms and are gaining public recognition.
Our world is overwhelmed by propaganda! While the state-approved narrative of the Elites is presented on most of mainstream’s easily accessible, highly advertised channels, you have to really dig if you want honest, second opinion sources of information on practically any topic.
A Change in our listening habits must be Top Priority
You Must reset your inputs. Turn off network media channels and learn to regularly – daily if possible – listen to trustworthy voices reporting what God is sovereignly doing. Hear how He uses His younger servants to speak into our culture. Access conservative voices like Megyn Kelly, Matt Walsh, Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson. Find Christ-honoring voices you can resonate with. You’ll have to establish Internet connections to Free-speech platforms, particularly Rumble and Bitchute, as well as others. Use the free Roku app system to connect with many God-fearing broadcasts we’ve appreciated like “And We Know,” “Flashpoint,” “Man in America,” and Mike Lindell’s Frank Speech channel. One of our favorite Medical freedom interview weekly broadcasts is the “The Highwire” with Del Bigtree, and there are many others like Dr Lee Merritt, The Medical Rebel, and Dr Bryan Ardis with The Dr Ardis Show.
Find trustworthy conservative daily news channels like Real America’s Voice, Redacted, Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point, and Brannon Howse’s Worldview Tube. Hear insightful Christian leaders like Mario Murillo’s Fire Power, Lance Wallnau, and The Mel K Show . Look up their posts and channels on YouTube and spend serious time catching up with truth-filled insights that will inspire you, equip you, and inform you with God’s perspective on what’s going on in your world and how to navigate it.
Our dangerous situation is real because doctrines of demons are out to destroy mankind
It’s especially ominous, considering the fact that through vaccination or other high-tech methods like variable frequencies, much of the population could soon become subject to transhuman experimentation where injectable nanoparticles and chips could be used to alter human behavior.
Corrupted Power is always troubled by any that dare to think and dare to question
This is not a new phenomenon, as tyrants throughout human history have censored writing and speech in order to protect their power structure.
In ancient times and not so ancient times, books were forcibly burned to keep the populace from having access to any material that was not acceptable by the throne or the current political authority.
In cases of resistance to ‘high’ authority, many were also killed by the state, and in many cases these ‘cleansings’ were targeted to the educated class, because they had the capability to think critically and express their ideas publicly. If you’re not informed about the historic period of the Reformation, start watching the historic dramas on RedeemTV.com. The period of European history beginning in the 1300s with John Huss and John Wycliffe going into the 1500s with Martin Luther and William Tyndale, is one of the most heroic periods of God’s providential guidance of human history. It makes you realize more powerfully the fact of the hand of God in human society’s experience as recorded in Acts 17 when Paul spoke about God determining the times of nations and the bounds of their habitation (Acts 17:26).
Those that held power by force of arms would never allow criticism and dissent, because that could lead to hostility and insurrection by the people.
During the totally orchestrated Covid 19 shut-down of society worldwide… known now as the fake plandemic… the details of tyranny changed some, but much was as it has always been through history.
Money, power, and control have always been the key strategies of the ruling class who would dominate mankind. But the methods to keep that power and control have changed. Instead of the sword and guillotine, propaganda and fear have become the primary tools used to fool the people into compliance. In order for propaganda to work, elimination of dissent is imperative.
Censorship plays a huge role in any effort to gain support of the masses, because without the possibility to reach the bulk of the people, the truth tellers become marginalized, and are shunned and ridiculed as troublemakers and conspiracy theorists.
The Broadest Mind Control Effort in Planet Earth’s History
The biggest censorship push in history began in force in 2020. It was the biggest propaganda push in history, and it’s still underway.
The false flag event called the coronavirus pandemic was not about one king seeking control over his subjects, but it was about the few globalist elitists attempting to take over the entire planet. There’s no question that they are demonically inspired. Bible believers who read their Bible understand this reality better than those who are unfamiliar with the tactics of the Enemy of Humanity, called Satan in the Bible.
This is a global effort that is run by the few top claimed elites, with their tentacles of power reaching almost every country on earth through control of the banks, corporations, foundations, and the entire political class system.
Many have fought and died in order to protect free speech, but all speech continues to be under attack by the forces of evil.
If the globalists were to have their way, free speech would be lost forever.
This is the world of the Internet and computerized system saturation. Censorship today takes on a new sophisticated look through so called “fact checkers” and compliance to “community standards” but it’s meant to accomplish the same goals as in the past.
Blacklisting users, blocking content, and algorithmic manipulation allow for the state to control information. With the control of information, it’s understandable that the general public would then be easier to manipulate and keep in check.
The acceptance of tracking and tracing technology, continued isolation, vaccines capable of altering the DNA structure of individuals, chips and dyes mimicking the mark of the beast, and a continued state of fear are all intended to lead to an end of what our society has long considered the state of normalcy.
The result sought by the world’s Wealthiest Elites is a new world order, a “new normal,” totally controlled by ruling ‘experts’ claiming the ability to sustain you, protect you, meet all your needs, and eliminate your worries.
This system is called technocracy. It’s dependent on a class-segregated society, fully controlled by an upper class.
Does this sound familiar? It should. It’s what all tyrants want. But in this day and age, it will look much different.
All of this relies on a willing public
And in order to achieve that total compliance on a scale globally large, the human spirit must be broken… Love, family, emotion, responsibility, open communication, mass gatherings, and debate must all be squelched.
Once the pathetic masses accept this ruse, and acquiesce to the mandates being planned, they will be transformed into a machine-like state through technological manipulation claiming to make life easier, safer, and more convenient.
A totally digitized system is necessary in order to retain constant control. All this sounds outlandish… like a dystopian science fiction novel. But it’s exactly what’s happening right in front of all of us.
Will Christ’s Faithful Followers Do What Past Faithful Heroes Did?
A completely new world is planned to come upon us for a limited time. It can only happen by eliminating truth, eliminating our historical roots, and hiding all that is real and honest. What’s left is a fantasy, but this short-lived fantasy will be deadly if it’s not successfully resisted. Only those who, like the Pilgrims of 17th century Plymouth, are willing to form local bonds of true Ekklesia fellowship community and educate their children according to God’s Biblical truth will avoid the fate of Lot’s wife. She was consumed by her own longing for the shiny objects of this world rather than follow God’s escape route into the unknown. Abram followed God to a destination unknown that was predetermined by God alone. And, through Jesus Christ, we’ve been given Abraham’s faith to trust God for our destination, no matter what happens in the world around us.
Seek the truth, seek honesty, ask questions, and believe nothing unless it can be personally verified. Do not allow the takeover of your lives by the monsters claiming to be your saviors.
In these controversial times, we all must prayerfully think! And think extra hard before we act. I’ll say a bit more on that in today’s bonus segment at ReclaimYourLegacy dot com.
Bonus Segment
We now know the plans of the enemies of freedom – the enemies of God. It’s absolutely foolish for Christians (the 50% who don’t vote in elections because doing their civic, constitutional duty is somehow beneath their dignity) to think they can continue their worldly guided behavior and not be accountable to God for it. They’re assigned by Jesus to be preservative ‘salt’ to their culture. That takes deliberate effort. They’re modern-day equivalents to Ezekiel’s watchman on the wall. They’ll be judged for their inaction when they could have prevented the destruction of their peers.
They have failed to think…
What would their family’s life be like IF BLM, Inc or Hezbollah invaded their neighborhoods?
What will they do when tyrannical bureaucrats marginalize honest citizens who conscientiously choose to opt out of arguably dangerous public health mandates?
In controversial times, we must prayerfully think! And think extra hard before we act.
You and I can’t force someone to adopt an opinion against their will. “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still!” Don’t even try to do it. Refuse to argue with fools who embrace death over life, license over responsibility, and promised safety over daring to risk our temporal comforts.
Only God’s Spirit Can Open Our Spiritual Eyes that have been blinded by Deception
For years we’ve been seeing publicly the open expression of ‘doctrines of demons’ – hellish teachings popularly accepted as correct for the masses. But you are a chosen generation; a distinct people for God’s own possession; to shine forth His redeeming and purifying light in the midst of darkness. So focus on truth and share it with those willing to receive it. (1 Pe 2:9 and Mark 6:11)
Just ask yourself; what is the chief aim of following Jesus? Abundant life and knowing God intimately.
Ask; what is the chief aim of the devil? To steal, kill and destroy.
What is the genius of the US constitution? God is our King. We have freedom of thought to be citizens – we the people – free to pursue a life of God’s order under a Biblically inspired nation of written laws – God’s 10 commandments. Righteous truths are eternally self-evident, teaching people to learn self-restraint. The unrighteous require external controls that can’t be enforced without draconian, anti-God restraints.
The plandemic masks and personal physical distancing rules by human governors don’t recognize “natural laws of God’s creation.” Those natural laws are so obvious, that to ignore them, becomes absurdly self-destructive. Not only do such foolish restraints endanger humans physically amid a sea of constantly changing opinions, they dehumanize personal relationships, leading to all manner of social and mental disorders. If you doubt the fallacies of such conclusions, take the time to watch censored research reporters like those featured on TheHighWire.com, NaturalNews.com, and HealthImpactNews.com. Be informed by honest dissenters from the mainstream.
God is giving all of us an opportunity to influence the outcome of our nation because He commanded His disciples to actually disciple the nations of the world. And that’s possible because He proclaimed that all authority had been given to Him when Jesus resurrected. Do you honestly believe that? Then why not make every effort to participate in the process of determining the leadership of your own nation under God? In upcoming elections, vote for freedom of conscience and the liberty to proclaim the truth of God. You’re voting for a platform of principles, not for a personality. This is a rare opportunity in our generation. We have a crossroads before us where every vote counts. Who, in their right mind, wants to throw their vote away by either not voting or voting for a platform determined to enslave all humanity by a globalist agenda?
Only by constant intercession for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven… for His Kingdom to invade our earthly community… for His enablement to guide us to speak the truth to enlighten the darkness… these must be our priorities in each day God gives us breath.
Psalm 95 promises us with consolation:
“He who teaches man knowledge—the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, that they are but a breath. Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law, to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.” Psalm 95:10b-15
