When war breaks out on foreign soil, it seldom has any effect on your daily life, unless you have loved ones fighting in the battle. There are many on the home front who may be somewhat involved in a support manner but can still remain with an uninvolved mindset. However, when the war is in your hometown, there is no comparison to a foreign war. Every part of every person is totally effected. Extremely diligent commitment on every level of the mind, will and emotions is automatic, because life, limb and property is at stake.
In the past, in the western nations, most of the spiritual battles have
been a distance away, far from the lukewarm, and or the sleeping Christian. They
read of Christians being jailed, beaten and beheaded with almost no expression
and then turn to the sports page, and go ballistic if their team lost. This
attitude is all about to change, as spiritual war has broken out full scale in
every neighborhood across America. You are in a nation that is repeating the
history of Sodom and of Rome, where "every way of a man is right in his own
eyes:" Proverbs 21:2 KJV
True Christianity will be tested to the max as the talkers will betray the
walkers. This is how nasty it gets, "there shall be five in one house divided,
three against two, and two against three. [53] The father shall be divided
against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the
daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her
daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law." Luke
12:52-53 KJV The demonic soldiers of darkness fight dirty, with a total absence
of mercy. They laugh and lick their lips, as your babies are ripped in pieces
out of the wombs of mothers. They dance in the streets every time there is a
mass shooting.
The war is no longer 5000 miles away, but it is now in the bedrooms and
living rooms of every home where there is a division in commitment and faith.
While christians are enjoying their favorite TV shows, instead of "being sober
and being vigilant; their adversary the devil, with his merciless soldiers of
darkness, like a roaring lion, are going house to house seeking whom they may
devour:" 1 Peter 5:8 KJV This is exactly why I said, "think not that I am come
to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. [35] For I am
come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her
mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. [36] And a man's foes
shall be they of his own household." Matthew 10:34-36 KJV
If I am not your first love, the foes in a household will assist the enemy
in devouring you. This is the difficult part of grace. The grace to stand when a
loved one and family member betrays you for My sake. This revelation will help
you appreciate those who endure to the end and are saved, because they did. Now
you will better understand why there are only a few that find the narrow gate.
Dying to self is a thousand times harder if a spouse decides to save their
life!
Western believer, you have been commissioned to "fight the good fight of
faith, and lay hold on eternal life, that you are also called too, having
confessed a good profession before many witnesses." 1 Timothy 6:12 KJV But
because of your freedom of religion, the ugly fight has only been on foreign
soil, and your faith has never been tested. Your love for Me and commitment to
My kingdom is about to be tested as the good fight turns ugly in the west. I am
well "able
to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of My
Father's glory and do it with exceeding joy," Jude 1:24
Yes I know you hate the deeds of the abortionist and the homosexual, which
I also hate. [4]
Nevertheless I am unable to keep you from falling, if you have left your first
love for Me. [5] Remember therefore from where you are fallen, and repent, and
do the first works again, fall back in love with Me again, put Me before
everyone and everything else; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will
remove your candlestick out of his place, unless you repent. " Revelation 2:4-6
KJV Even though the good fight has turned very ugly, I have provided a way of
escape, but only when I am your first love!
