“Where is God during all this Chaos? BIBLE REFERENCE:

“Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.” Matthew 28:20


ENCOURAGING WORD:

One of the first questions that everybody asks during a natural disaster or some other event that brings people to their knees is this, “where is God when things like this happen.” I can give you a very simple answered, He is right where we put Him, on the outside of the world looking in. He was kicked out of our world six thousand years ago when man chose to serve Satan rather than God. That is the reason for every evil that we experience in today’s world. Evil rules in the hearts of man as we read in Genesis 6:5; “The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” See, God is very well aware of what is taking place in Satan’s world, but being the loving God that He is, He will not intervene on our behalf or invade our sovereignty unless he is asked to do so. If you have taken on the world as your main source of understanding and acceptance to the way you live your life, then you have no right to question God for what is taking place.

On the other hand if you have received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, and been born-again into the Holy Spirit, then are spiritually preserved. This does not mean that you will cruise through life free from trials, it just means that there is a reason for it and Jesus will be with you every step of the way. We read this comforting message in Romans 8:28; “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” If you are a child of God through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, (Being Born-again) then everything that you go through will have a purifying purpose. In other words, there are consequences to sin, God will not let sin go unpunished or it could just be a trail to bring you closer to Jesus Christ, but you can be sure that it is all working out for the good as God promised in the verse above. If you are not born-again, everything evil that you go through in your life will be at the hands of the god of this world, Satan! He hates you and wants the absolute worst for you, including a one way trip to (the lake of burning fire) in which, he too will spend all eternity.

All the evil that is permeating through our world is at the hands of Satan, and if it seems to be getting worse and worse all the time, there is a reason for that, it is because Satan knows he has a short window of opportunity to destroy as many souls as he can before the soon return of Jesus Christ! We read in 1 Peter 5:8; “Be sober, be vigilant; (alertly watchful especially to avoid danger) because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” Satan is working overtime to try to accomplish his main objective, and that is to destroy mankind before Jesus returns. However, I can promise you that will not happen. When it mentions being sober, that means not being intoxicated with all the evil of this world. We read also in Ephesians 5:18-21; “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God. “ Here is a short list of some of the things that will keep you from entering the kingdom of God, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” Are you living one of these life styles, if so you are not in the family of God. Not my words, but the words of God Himself. If you are living one of these life styles, know this, you can still be saved by repenting of your life style and turning to Jesus Christ for forgiveness.

Now, with all that is going on in our world, I believe God is allowing Satan to have his way with the human race, this way God will see who really trusts in him and who only trust in Him when thigs are going well. I believe God is thinning out the rakes, per say, to see who is sincere with their conversion to Christianity or those that have confessed in vain. We read this very unsettling verse in Matthew 7:21-23; “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!” This is in my opinion one of the scariest verses in the Bible, but I can tell you exactly what it means. This is referring to those that believe good works will get them into heaven. You can do all the good works that you can imagine and you will never earn you way into heaven. It is by the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ and nothing else can save you. We read this fact in John 3:5-7; “Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.” My question is this, why do the mainline denominations refuse to teach on this subject of being born-again, when in reality it is the only way to be saved?

I’m telling you all this because there is not be much time left before Jesus Christ does come back. All those that have been watching the signs of the return of Jesus Christ have known quite some time now that the time is near, but this COVID-19 has put the icing on the cake. This was a trail run to see how quickly the (DS) could get the world to conform to a one world government and they now know how easy it will be. The only thing standing in the way is the Holy Spirit that indwells the born-again believers. We read in 2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 where it reads, “And now you know what is restraining, that he (The Antichrist) may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He (The Holy Spirit that indwell born-again believers) who now restrains will do so until He (The Holy Spirit that indwell born-again believers) is taken out of the way.” This will happen at the rapture of the church and then the world will get exactly what they have wanted for a long time…A world without God!

ACTION POINT:

The stage is set, all the actors are in place and the final curtain is about to come down. The curtain that will bring about the last seven years of existence as we know it today! Do you want to be here to witness the worst time in human history or would you rather forgo that scene? The choice is yours. Let me ask you a question in regards to God’s withdrawal from the world and why it happened. If you were invited to a birthday party, and upon arriving you were asked to leave, would you still send them a present? You wouldn’t want anything to do with it since you were not welcome there in the first place. You would leave, right? The world has done just that from the beginning of time, but what has happened in America in the last fifty years is the icing on the cake. Even though most of the rest of the world denied Jesus Christ and His propitiation for sin, America, for the last three hundred or so years has been a nation that was blessed beyond words. But as of the last decade or two, we have slowly taken God out of every aspect of our life and we have virtually kicked Him out of our country. The only thing that keeps us in good standing with God is the fact that we as a nation still support His chosen people. When we turn on Israel, it is over for America and that will eventually happen as the Bible clearly states. This is a clear fact that was written from the beginning of time as we read in Genesis 12:3; “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” This is in reference to the Jews in Israel. For those of you that are taught that God has forsaken His people, you need to read the Bible for yourself and understand the truth. You can’t hate the Jews and then say that you love their King, Jesus Christ! Wake up, for the time is at hand! “Written To the glory of God, Inspired by the Holy Spirit!”
