My heart has been so grieved for America over the past few months, yet my spirit has been filled with great expectancy for our beautiful nation. The attacks on our freedoms, our conservative values, and our personal character have been shocking. Friends, what we are witnessing in our country is nothing less than a satanic attack. It is truly a war between good and evil and the deception runs so much deeper than I ever imagined.
Big Tech is a tool and propaganda machine of Satan. The censorship that we are witnessing of Christian and conservative voices is an attack on our freedoms, but even more than that, it is Satan’s desperate attempt to deceive as many as possible in the short time that he has left to roam this earth. He is aware more than anyone that his time is limited.
I have felt prompted over the past few months to be very careful and intentional when it comes to receiving my news and information. The reports that I was seeing and hearing after the election were far from uplifting. It’s easy to feel hopeless and fearful when all you hear are the reports of COVID deaths, fraudulent votes, stolen elections, corrupt politicians and judges, courts refusing to allow evidence to be presented, Big Tech censorship, fake news, riots, and all of the opinions indicating that complete control of all three branches of government surely means the end to our democracy…due to the threat of court packing and the dismantling of our electoral college. Despite all of the bleak reports surrounding me, there was and continues to be an overwhelming sense of peace in my spirit. “Even when I don’t see it, He’s working. Even when I don’t feel it, He’s working. You never stop. You never stop working. Waymaker…that is who You are!”
As we faced one negative report after another, I couldn’t help but think of the Israelites. The Lord promised Abraham that his descendants would dwell in the Promised Land, because Abraham was counted righteous and considered a friend of God. Yet, the circumstances of a seven year famine that lead to Jacob’s family moving out of the Promised Land and into Egypt…eventually leading to over 400 years of slavery…certainly made Abraham’s descendants question God’s faithfulness. It wasn’t until God sent the plagues to Egypt over 400 years later that God used Moses to lead His people out of slavery! Their journey quickly went from a celebration of freedom to a very hopeless situation as they realized the Egyptian armies were making ground as they approached the Red Sea. There came a moment when they realized there was no way to escape their enemies…death looked imminent as they were surrounded. Right now, for many Christian and conservative Americans, it looks like we are surrounded by wickedness and our enemy is making good ground, closing in. BUT GOD!
Just as the Lord split open the Red Sea to save His children then, He is still faithful to save His remnant today! We don’t ever have to feel hopeless because our God is still capable of another Red Sea moment! It may look like we are surrounded by Godless enemies, but if He will split the seas to save His people, He can surely save us from the Godless enemies that are set out to destroy the lives of those who profess to follow Jesus and obey His Word. Be encouraged and let hope arise!
We can’t just sit back and wait for God to move, however. The enemy would love nothing more than for God’s people to sit back for the next four years and do nothing while he roams the earth and pushes his anti-Christ agendas throughout the earth and especially throughout America, one nation under God! We can’t just sit idly by and think a few desperate prayers will save our land. It is time to put on the full armor of God, pray fervently, engage the Holy Spirit, and it’s time to go take possession of what God has promised us. God has given us authority over demonic activity and we have been given dominion over everything in this earth. We must line our words up with His Holy Word and not merely talk about what we see and feel! Stop talking about how you feel like we are taking one blow after another! Instead, begin telling others that God knows the end from the beginning so He is not surprised by anything that has happened. He has it all under control and He is on the move! In His perfect timing, He will bring every hidden thing out into the light, justice will prevail, there will be a mighty move of His Spirit like never before, and Jesus is coming back soon! The words we speak during this time will make or break us.
After God saved the Israelites from their Godless enemies, sadly only two young men entered the Promised Land! Joshua and Caleb were righteous men who remembered the God of their ancestors. The other Israelites were so moved by what they saw and felt, that they allowed their circumstances and feelings to move their hearts far from the God that delivered them out of Egypt. Moses sent twelve men to explore the Promised Land once they were near and when they all returned, everyone reported about how the land was flowing with milk and honey and it had the best fruit of the land! However, ten of the men reported about the giants that lived there and instilled FEAR into God’s people because all they talked about was how the giants were just too strong, too numerous, and too frightening to overcome. Because Joshua and Caleb knew the God they served was faithful, they trusted the Lord and focused on His promise rather than the problem. They knew the same God that delivered them out of Egypt, provided food from the heavens, and split the Red Sea would be the God that went with them into the Promised Land and rescued them from the enemies within. God gave them eyes to see beyond the physical. What lense are you viewing the world from? Are you viewing things through the lense of God’s Word and His promises or are you viewing your circumstances from the perspective of what you see, hear, and feel? Whose report are you believing? One will lead to death and one report will lead to a life of victory!
We need the Joshua’s and Caleb’s to arise and we need to speak the report of the Lord! His plans are still good! His plans don’t change just because a new administration is in office. He is still good! He is still faithful! He is still moving! He is still leading us! He is still making a way when there seems to be no way! He is still performing miracles. He is still setting people free! He is still protecting us! He is still providing all of our needs! He is still surrounding us with a shield of favor! He is still going before us to prepare the way! He has not forsaken our country! He still knows the end from the beginning! And He wins…therefore His people win! It is written, therefore it is considered already done! We don’t deny the fact that we are indeed facing some real giants, but we recognize that our God has given us the power, wisdom, and ability to defeat any giant the enemy puts before us in an attempt to keep us from God’s promises and plans! Turn your phones and tv off, open up your Bibles, and report the good news instead of everything you may hear in the news and see on social media! David defeated the giant with one stone and Joshua and Caleb defeated the giants with God’s help! We will too! We will defeat the giants of Big Tech. We will defeat the giants of the anti-Christ agendas. We will defeat the giants of the Jezebel spirit that is deceiving the masses. We will defeat the giants of corruption. We will defeat the giants that drive abortion. We will defeat the giants that are trying to abolish God’s image of male and female and His design for marriage. We will defeat the giants! Do you believe that?! When we put our trust in God, obey His Word, and listen to the right reports, faith will arise and we will be given everything we need to walk into our promise land! Do you know what God has promised you? Rise up Joshua! Rise up Caleb! Whose report will you believe? Your land is plentiful and waiting to be claimed! Don’t let an entire generation and future generations be robbed of God’s best simply because you believed the wrong reports! Do not fear! Ask the Lord to open your spiritual eyes so that you can see beyond the giants! Give us eyes to see and ears to hear, Lord! It’s time to slay some spiritual giants!
