WE ARE AT WAR

The most important war we will ever fight. This war has been going on in the realm of the spirit and is now made manifest in the natural. When the wall between the spirit and the natural has ceased to exist — it is a sign that we are in the last hour.

This is the war that will set the stage for the Antichrist. The best time to establish a “New World Order, One World Religion” is when the world is in the most vulnerable position and countries are in turmoil.

When a country or countries are weak that is the best time to establish new leadership. It’s easier to get people to follow you when they are vulnerable. This is how the Anti-Christ will make his actions believable to the whole world. He will serve as a “False Messiah”.

He will be a real person. He will be a world leader who is greatly respected and worshiped throughout the world as satan will give his power over to him to rule with authority for 42 months. (Revelation 13:5, Revelation 13:18)

He will appear as an “angel of light” and perform great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. This fire will appear to those who lack discernment as the “fire of God” but it is to be known, marked, and recognized even now as a strange fire (Revelation 13:13)

The Anti-Christ is not to be confused with False Prophets. They are not the same. A False Prophet is only interested in a church/religious setting among believers. The Anti-Christ or an Anti-Christ spirit is interested in humanity and deceiving both the believer and the unbeliever into worshipping Satan.

Now is the time to ask God for the gift of wisdom and the ability to discern times and seasons. It will be the wisdom of God that will keep you from being a casualty of war. (Revelation 13:18)

CASUALLY WILL BECOME A CASUALTY OF WAR

Abraham Pleaded with God for Sodom. He did not want God to destroy the righteous with the wicked. So He asked God and then returned Home. (Genesis 18:24-33)

Two Angels came to Sodom and told Lot that if you have a son-in-law, sons, daughters, and whomever you have in the city to get them out of there because they are about to destroy the city. The outcry against the people in Sodom had grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent them to destroy it. (Genesis 19:12-13)

Who were the casualties of war in Lot’s day?

• Lot’s Son-in-Laws. Lot warned them to get out of the city but they thought he was joking. (Genesis 19:14)

• Lot’s Wife. God’s specific instructions were “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” (Genesis 19:17) She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19:26)

HOW THIS APPLIES NOW:

If you treat God’s warnings as common — you will be destroyed. This is not the hour to causally live life as if everything is normal and dismissing the voice of God. Take the warnings, the correction, and the rebukes from God just as serious as His love, mercy, and grace.

God warns. Moses warned Pharaoh on behalf of God. Pharoah didn’t listen and his son was a casualty of war.

God corrects and rebukes those whom He loves. The Prophet Nathan was sent to King David to correct and rebuke Him. David had sinned greatly against God. David repented for the sin. God forgave David. But his son was a casualty of war because just like the city of Sodom — an outcry was great against him before the Lord. David wasn’t destroyed but the son conceived out of lust, adultery, and murder was.

This is not the hour to live casually.

This is not the hour to pray casually.

This is not the hour to go with the flow.

Your obedience is not optional. It’s required.

We are at war.

We are not to be fearful but we are to be wide awake in the realm of the Spirit and pray.

The burden of the Lord to fulfill the great commission should be burning in our hearts like a wildfire now.

You and I now have access to the Blood that can and will cancel every outcry against us should we repent and turn from our wicked ways.

The Blood of Jesus Christ speaks a better word than the blood of Abel (Hebrews 12:24).

Any amount, anyone, or anything that is casually will become a casualty.

THE PRAYER:

God, I repent for any area of my life where I am living causally and taking for granted the access I have through your Son Jesus Christ. I repent for anything that I’ve done or said to cause there to be an outcry against me before your face. Forgive me for downplaying the life, the mercy, and grace you’ve given me. I repent for any time where I have openly or privately mocked you or laughed at or joined in with others who are mocking or have mocked you. Awake my sleeping heart from the conditioning of the world to fit in and give me an appetite to be set apart. Deliver me from being a coward and give me the boldness and the faith that you require of me as I walk through and endure until the end. In Jesus name, I pray.. Amen.
