OVERT EVIL versus COVERT EVIL – Part 2

Image
  gates of hell freeimages.com In October, we talked about the blatant evil of Halloween versus  the hidden, clandestine evil that’s harder to detect.        As true believers in Jesus Christ, we do understand our battle is not against flesh and blood. Our fight is against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. [1]         We’re not waging war against the people spewing lies and hatred. We’re battling the evil one controlling them : Satan and his minions. He’s the one inspiring animosity and wicked government policies of death and destruction.        This unseen spiritual darkness—the covert and hidden evil—surrounds us and fuels the overt evil in our country and around the world. It’s as the sin of Achan. Meaning what?        When the Israelites marched around Jericho and the walls f...

OVERT EVIL versus COVERT EVIL

  gates of hell freeimages.com Every October, this country celebrates evil and death. Ghouls, goblins, witches, ghosts, 10-12-foot skeleton sculptures, and other representations of the spirit of darkness adorn stores and homes. Each year, the displays seem bigger and a little more fiendish.   As a true believer in Jesus Christ, I find this disturbing. Some say I’m ridiculous because, to them, it’s all in fun. Yet, in that case, I’d have to ask why. Hell is real. Satan is real. Why does anyone feel the need to celebrate spiritual wickedness and the evils of Satan?   Still, this evil is overt—something evident and obvious—all around us through September and October. We know it’s coming, so we can brace for it. But I think it’s also Satan’s way of distracting us and keeping our minds off the covert or hidden evil he’s perpetrating. What do I mean? The things he and his minions do right under our noses. We don’t see them because so many think he’s only the guy in th...

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash Heavenly Father, we are here again today praying for A m e r i c a .   Give President Trump, Vice-President Vance, their Cabinet, Congress, our Military, our State Governors, Legislators, and all Local Governments an understanding of how close A m e r i c a is to extinction.   Help them, and us, see that we MUST hold on to the way our country was founded—first upon You and Your Law—and then with c a p i t a l i s m , so any citizen can become whatever they choose. They can grow independent of big government while following the law. They can start a business and become successful because they provide a good product.   You, O LORD, founded a free enterprise system here in A m e r i c a , and this has helped to make A m e r i c a great. We know You gave us the ability to create, work hard, make something of ourselves, and to live in physical freedom in A m e r i c a .   Socialism is a caste system disguis...

America 250 – TEN Days of PRAYER – Day Four

  FLAG robert-linder-fcFEnjBmm14-unsplash Thank you, glorious LORD, for establishing this great nation and guiding our founding fathers in the writing of our Constitution. How we are blessed to see Your divine guidance in the formation of our federal, state, and local governments. We look to You to protect and keep each civil servant and administration from corruption.   As we celebrate A m e r i c a’ s 250 years of history, our hard-fought freedom now teeters on the brink of destruction. LORD God, give us what we need to save this country so our children are not enslaved by Socialism, Communism, Islamism, Hinduism, Buddhism—the evil one’s way of government.   Set our hearts firm with the courage to fight to keep our founding documents intact and not allow our freedoms to be eroded. We, true believers in Jesus Christ, are the sheep of Your pasture, [1] and it is only in You that we live and move and have our being. [2]   Holy Father, LORD Almighty, help...
