A stern vision is told to me;
the traitor betrays,
and the destroyer destroys. Isaiah 21:2a
Read Isaiah 24. This is NOT what you will find preached from American pulpits. This is the message of the senior / major prophet Isaiah. Who can decipher it’s meaning? An academic? A human intellectual? Or are spiritual matters and prophecies spiritually discerned? Why have almost all the academics in all disciplines tried to erase the prophet gift given by God to those He loves? Has God stopped giving these gifts? Or is God ALWAYS the same?
Are humans generally good? Or is there another ‘nature’ within them? What was the ‘nature’ of humans before Noah’s flood?
The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5
So after the flood had the heart of humankind really changed? Was there a real difference between before and after or did that same ‘nature’ continue within humankind?
“But they say, ‘That is in vain! We will follow our own plans, and will every one act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’ Jeremiah 18:12
What does Jesus say about the ‘last days’?
For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man, Matthew 24:37
So who are the real enemies of humankind? Paul lays it out in Ephesians 6.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
Heavenly places? Think higher dimensions. How do these ‘enemies’ sway the hearts and minds of humans? Ever considered the realm of the demonic and how they intersect with our dimension? Read Acts 19:11-20
How many times do the scriptures tell you NOT to be deceived? Have you ever asked the Holy Spirit how you are currently deceived? What lies do you currently believe? Have you asked Jesus to show you His Truth?
What do you love? This world? This place? This world’s systems?
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. James 4:4
Whose wishes are you carrying out? Your own? Or the One who created you? Whose advice are you seeking? Whose advice are you taking? Who are you listening to for the Truth? Are you filtering ALL of it through the Truth of Christ and the understanding by the Holy Spirit? Taking every thought captive? Are you getting the Truth straight from God / Holy Spirit Himself?
So many in this world (many Christians included) are walking through a mine field in the space between two warring sides with a blindfold on calling on people to follow them. They tell others there is no war. There is no battle, that all you are experiencing is but a figment of your own imagination. That you should be happy and content even after you are hit by shrapnel from a bullet, grenade, or bomb. That what has happened to you isn’t from a higher dimensional war that is swirling around you currently, but that what you have experienced is just a part of life. Have you experienced damage from a spiritual weapon against your soul or heart? Have you believed a lie sent by the enemies of God that has dug into your soul and heart and caused a sickness and a darkness within you, and separated you from God and those you love?
Repent of sin. What actions, words, and lies need to be dealt with? What have you done in defiance to what God has asked you to do?
Ask Jesus to heal the broken parts of you. Being broken is NOT a sin.
Ask Jesus to take off your blindfold.
Ask Jesus to show you the Truth ALL around you.
Know the Truth. Allow the Truth to set you free. Allow Jesus to heal you.
Read this message from Jesus…
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also conquered and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation 3:18-22
Now ask the Holy Spirit exactly what that means for you.
