What's Really Happening

 The main thing we’re all feeling with the chaos and instability all around us is two worlds colliding- Kingdom of darkness is trying to encroach on the Kingdom of light. These two Kingdoms are at war, and Jesus has won the war through the power of His blood in His victory over death on the Cross and subsequent resurrection, but the battle for souls continues and is intensifying. The battle is spiritual, leading to much confusion, but the symptons are mainfesting in the physical world, around things like politics and economic policies. The result is everything is upside down and topsy turvy. Isaiah 5:20 says “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light  and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

These scriptures help paint the picture more vividly: The Fallen world is about to be redeemed so the impact of the spiritual battle is intense right now. Here are a few scriptures that illustrate the true nature of what's really happening:

“12 For our struggles not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6:12-18

satan is the father of all lies- John 8:44, and he has infiltrated the media -Ephesians 2:2 to sow chaos and division.

“but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.”- 1 John 4:3

“We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.”- 1 John 5:19-20

The enemy takes unsuspecting people captive to do his will. Many times they don’t even realize it. That is how political powers have come into being that are pushing satan’s agenda of killing unborn babies, transgenderism and sexual confusion, reparations for things way back in history that people currently alive have nothign to do with, division of people by race, concentrated power centers, ruining national identity, pandemics, high rates of inflation ruining quality of life, etc. But God is in control and if he allows it, it’s for His good, which is the growing of His kingdom and the saving of many souls. The fear of what's happening that people have no control over and the anxiousness and despair is leading many to Christ.

“Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.”- 2 Timothy 2:25-26

“and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.”- Colossians 1:12-13

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”- Genesis 50:20

“He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.”- 2 Chronicles 20:15

“All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”- 1 Samuel 17:47

We are careening towards a 1 world government as foretold in the book of Revelation chapter 13

Jesus tells us to be aware of the signs in Matthew 24- not to scare us but to prepare us, for the rapture can happen at any time. 1 Thessalonians 4:16- 2 Thessalonians 2:10. Jesus will then return in power to make all things new and right- Revelation 21-22 he warns us security is found in nothing other than him- Revelation 3:15-20 and they we should seek Him above all else in these last days. If we have confusion we should ask, seek and knock- Matthew 7:7 and He will answer, we will find, and doors will be opened. Scripture needs to be our only roadmap, because it is the only thing that is 100% accurate!
