5I am not overstating it when I say that the man who caused all the trouble hurt all of you more than he hurt me. 6Most of you opposed him, and that was punishment enough. 7Now, however, it is time to forgive and comfort him. Otherwise he may be overcome by discouragement. 8So I urge you now to reaffirm your love for him.9I wrote to you as I did to test you and see if you would fully comply with my instructions. 10When you forgive this man, I forgive him, too. And when I forgive whatever needs to be forgiven, I do so with Christ’s authority for your benefit, 11so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes. 1 Corinthians 2:5-11
Those who say we should pay no attention to what Satan is doing in the world to our brethren and only concentrate on what Christ has already done need to take that argument up with Paul the Apostle. He says we need to be aware.
So in that light I have been trying to discern the two headed attack on the Body of Christ globally and nationally. How this can be going on in what appears to be tandem, yet by very different groups.
I have puzzled how the drive by our government to accept and even embrace all things Islamic comes to manifest? I have also been puzzled how the same government authorities embrace Homosexuality and it's manifestations like Same Sex Marriage, Homosex on TV, Homosex in Education, and Homosex in the military. This drive seems to be focused on destroying the Body of Christ.
It is hard to understand the complete blindness in all this until you consider that Blindness is one of Satan's biggest tools:
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4
If Islamification of the USA is successful then the homosexual agenda is dead. OR at least it's participants will be. Look at any fundamentalist Muslim nation, you don't see living homosexuals. They die or hide. So the two front assault must come from blindness.
Our leaders in Washington are too blind to see what is happening. Even if they profess Christ, they are blinded.
In the last few days we have seen the fullness of the manifestation of Islam's hate for Jesus and his followers. The execution and murder of hundreds in the past few days in Kenya and Pakistan are a clue as to the level of hatred. Sure, they will always come up with a justification. In Pakistan, they killed Christians as objection to the drone strikes the USA carries out. That is a smoke screen. They kill Christians because they have no other appeal.
The truth is any accommodation or capitulation to radical Islam's demands is capitulation to the devil himself. I know that sounds harsh, but these radicals who kill without repentance anyone who is not Muslim are demon driven. The devil comes to kill and destroy. The idea that they are living souls in need of Jesus is true. Some of them will come to their senses. But meanwhile the blood of martyrs is flooding the earth. We must not be deferred by the scheme to put fear in us. What in the USA we must do is call to account those misleaders starting in the white house who believe Islamic accommodation is good for our country. It is not. It's time to take a stand against that evil that has as it's core agenda the elimination of any Christian witness in the world, and in the USA. It is a front we cannot back away from. This is a stand no less important than the gates of Vienna stand long ago when Christians stood down an Islamic invasion.
The other front, that of Homosexuality is more insidious. It is more divisive. To be passive or accepting of the homosexuality has become a "Christian" thing to do. To be loving. To be more "Open Minded". Here's the truth, the embracing of Homosex has caused a decline in the family, a decline in education, a decline in the military.... and a decline in our christian witness. Even the Pope is advising people to "Tone it down".
While I understand what he is saying to not recognize what is happening is intentional blindness. Like abortion (which is linked to Homosexuality) the goal is to reduce the productive capacity of the nation. Without people we fall apart. Already we don't have enough productive workers on the job to maintain any semblance of continuity. That is directly linked to abortion and homosexuality. A dead child and two same sex people cannot populate the earth, or the nation.
It is a chipping away at the culture and the foundations of the body of Christ. On one hand you have a direct attack from Radical Islam and on the other hand a worming in of secular culture driven by media, government and education to chip away at things once believed.
Look at the insipid curriculum in education. Look at the intended indoctrination Common Core is driving. If the hearts and minds of people can be conditioned from a child our culture will fundamentally change.
But that was the promise our President made when he was elected. And when he was re-elected the two front attack on the Body of Christ intensified by 10. Several aggressive demons were released on that day. You see them clearly now if your eyes are opened.
It is the scheme of satan. Do no be ignorant of it.
