Standing Up To Satan.

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Ephesians 6:11

I would like to draw your attention to the subject of Satan and this world if I can. We have reached a very critical point in the world today, but more so in America. As Christians we believe the world is quickly approaching the Tribulation Period. While it is true we have no idea when the Lord will return and the Tribulation of God on this world will began, the signs all point to that coming day. It seems that America is truly worsening with the passing of each twenty-four-hour day. The political correctness of our time and the demonization of everything scripture and true must lead us to believe that this world is falling deeper into Satan’s control with the passing of every minute that ticks on the clock. God promised that the world would get worse and worse and would never correct itself, or repent and turn to God. God has total forgiveness for those who repent and turn to Him in admission and for forgiveness, but we are not going to see America do this. We see the times truly turning to things some of us never thought we would see. We have approved the murder of our unborn children, we have approved homosexual acts and marriage as though they are equal to men and women, we have reached the point where a man can act or dress as a woman and use the same restroom as our children of opposite sex. America have demonized everything Godly and everything biblical to the point that people are shamed to disgrace if they dare speak-up against these things. American is on the verge of turning Socialist which is one step from Communism. It matters not who is elected President next November, this transformation will not ever be stopped. God could stop it, but why would He, it is His predestined plan. God warned us in 1 John 3:13 “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” the word means not to be surprised, and we have reached that point of hate. However, it hated our Lord before it hated us, therefore we are in good company. I believe the world and America are going to worsen as time moves on. It might reach the point where there is true persecution in America as we have seen in history. Where people are killed in very horrible ways if they fail to recant Jesus Christ. As time moves on hour by hour we see the false religionist of Christianity moving farther away from the scriptures and more alignment with the hatred for God and love for Satan. Pastors selling out to the world for their love and money. So-called Christians and even some real Christians standing against God and what is biblically right. Where people are fired from their jobs for their disagreement, and others are demonized for standing for the scriptural truth. Folks, let’s face it, we live in a very hateful America. God tells us to put on the whole armor of God that we can stand the battle. Beloved, we must fight with the sword of the word and stand in the faith. God told us to continue “…doing the will of God from the heart;” Ephesians 6:6. Doing the will of God from the heart is doing it to please God because we cannot serve God and the flesh. Doing it from the heart means to put everything into it, as though we cannot fail. Beloved, do not falter because the fight, the war is too precious to the Lord our God. If we fall, if we fail, who is left to fight the good fight? Do you have your armor on? Are you ready for the wiles of the Devil? We cannot win the battle if we are not.
