....did society take some CRAZY PILLS?!

It's no secret there's been a slow eroding of morality within our culture. But within the past few years, it has just been like a runaway train.

Stories you'd never heard before are now making (almost) daily news, of kids killing themselves over bullying, the P-rez advocating *** marriage, the intense hatred of Christians (not just differing beliefs, but HATRED), the accepted "grey area" of "spirituality", sex before marriage is the rule not the exception, foul language is accepted now during conversation - becoming a type of slang instead of an expletive, abortions are an accepted form of birth control, and the list goes on. And on. AND ON.

I don't know how bad it was in Noah's day... But wow, we live in some foul, sin-riddled, nasty times. And the weird thing is -- everyone seems BLINDED to it! They're all blind! They see evil as good and good as evil. I know this is a sign of the times, but it's truly surreal to see this world through the lens of the Holy Spirit.

My husband and his geeky friends get together every Thursday to play games and they were all deliriously happy over the P-rez approving *** marriage, likening it to the civil rights movement, and how society has come so far to give equal rights and it's about **** time (using an expletive for slang), and some of these folks claim to know Jesus....

I feel like I need to give them all a copy of 1 John to read. No one is listening, and if you bring up the Bible, purity, morality, and *gasp* sins, they turn on you like a pack of rabid wolves!

I've gotten to the point where I don't say anything anymore. I live my life according to the Gospel, and I don't bother casting my pearls before swine any longer.

The enemy is giddy with glee, knowing his time is just about here. I truly think the forces of this dark world are ramping up their ranks in preparation for when the "evil" Christians leave this world. If it's this bad now, imagine what it will be like then...

It can't be too much longer now, it just can't. If not this year, I can't see going much beyond 5 or 10 more. Not if society is eroding at an exponential rate, not when sin is accepted with open arms and morality is thrown out the window.

Men's hearts are hardening, even now. It's so obvious. Even supposed "believers", who only follow a God they have invented themselves, not the God of the Bible. Which is, of course, an idol. They might CALL Him Yahweh, but it's not Yahweh. And I fear for these people. I really do.

Especially the people I love who do not believe. I can only hope and pray that as horrific as the Tribulation will be, that they will remember what I spoke about while I was here and turn to God with everything they've got.

"Unless a corn of wheat dies, it abideth alone. But if it dies, it bringeth forth much fruit." ~John 12:24

Unfortunately for these people, I really think it will take our death and/or ascension in the Rapture to really repent and believe. But then Heaven help them through the Tribulation...

I love your poured out heart-filled spirit-led passionate message that cries out, how long, Lord, how long?

Oh, preach it, Becka . . continue heralding the Truth in this outrageous climate of secular thinking `~ Time is truly short.

I'm with you, Becka feeling the pressing culture attempting to cause a weariness in believers . . It just 'feels' like darkness is having its way, and proud of it. Reminds me when King David felt the same, he couldn't understand why the pagans were feeling no consequences, but content.

~~ I'm convinced there's an increased number of demons recently let loose to devour poor souls caught up in this increasing barbaric culture mocking the Truth. The Spiritual battle is being felt, and spiraling exponentially toward God's wrath ~~

This nation's choice to delve deeper in battle against the Living God and Creator is jolting to us. Though it 'looks' like God's Word is being suffocated we have God's promises He is Victor.
. . Thankfully Jesus makes clear to us, saying: "Fear not, fear not" .

No one can steal the heart and souls of God's saved children no matter how pressing these days get .

Yes, it does feel beyond the "twilight zone" the world's culture is turned upside down, heralding evil is good! Every nation, including obviously the USA has been hijacked by the elite determined to redefine God's sacred laws ~

~ how much longer shall the saints feel weary ~~ Jesus knows the limits of these days left for His church~~and Holy Spirit is confirming it to believers ~~ He's unifying His true saints who know the Word, with discernment of this hour we're in . . , I have no doubt causing a stand up witness like never before ~~

He's coming for us, Becka, every sign shows abundant revelation of Christ's near return. We sense seriously coming the midnight call of the Bride ~~~ Sensing our Heavenly Groom ready to say: "Arise" come up here!"

Remember Becka that Christians are the salt of the earth according to God's Word. If salt loses it's flavor it is nothing. Satan would love you to back down and quit being that sounding voice defending the Bible and speaking up for rightousness.

Oh, no doubt about it! I'm sure that he would love for me to back down, but I want those demons to KNOW who I am... Remember the story in Acts 19:11-17 about the sons of Sceva who went around looking for demons to cast out? They came upon a possessed man who sneered at them and said, "Jesus I know and Paul I know, but who are you?" then proceeded to thrash them until they were naked and bleeding.

I don't ever want the enemy to say, "Who are you?" to me. It's one of the reasons I've dug so deeply into the Gospel and why I have a firm understanding of my identity in Christ. I wanted to gain the knowledge I needed to combat the lies of the enemy.

We can't really don the armor of the Lord (Eph. 6) and fight the enemy to WIN unless we truly understand that our salvation is sure, that God has expunged our sin record, that when He looks at us, He sees CHRIST, and that we are totally, completely, and irrevocably ACCEPTED by God as KINGS AND PRIESTS of the Most High!!

That is an AMAZING God-given inheritance! Being covered by His righteousness through His Blood so that one day we can be CLOTHED with it... It just boggles the mind.

So yeah, I guess I'm not too surprised that one of my spiritual gifts is Faith, because demons don't scare me. I've been attacked many times in my dreams, and they even tried to get to my kids a few times. Didn't work out so well for them.

Never, ever provoke a Spirit-Filled Christian Mama Bear. EVER.

Unlike those sons of Sceva, I think those DEMONS were racing from my house naked and bloody that day. Hallelujah!

~~Becka

Becka-- I feel it as well. The last month especially has seemed so surreal.

Almost every night now I have dreams about the tribulation. I go to work, but my heart is just not in it.

When I pray, an overwhelming sadness hits me. It's almost as if I feel a small amount of the grief our Father is feeling for His lost creation.

I could not believe our smirking VP and his statement on Meet the Press. And then the followup by the Prez!

It's almost as if humanity has jumped on a huge roller coaster. We are gaining speed at a record pace and plunging straight into the pits of hell. All the while screaming as if we are having fun!

Please bring us home and soon, Father

I have come to the conclusion there are many 'Christians' in name only that really don't know the Scriptures. They think they are Christians because someone in their family was and they have family traditions they observe. They are worldly Christians or carnal Christians who think they are saved and probably aren't. They have the appearance but are only an image...like the white washed tombs Jesus mentioned in his day.

They haven't done Bible Study nor even sought truth for themselves. They are easily blown about with every change of wind direction and fool themselves that they know Jesus when in fact they don't. They have no discernment because they never made an effort to learn what the Word says about issues impacting the world, can't discern between good and evil, and don't know truth. They don't know who to follow. Who to listen to or to even believe. They "think" they do, but they don't. They live life like it is all about them alone. They can say the right words and and pray a nice prayer and the inner life is like a vapor.

This is the age of apostasy and falling away. The lines of division are really showing up now. It's getting harder to tell unbelievers from some 'Christians' these days.

And the world is speeding downhill in the fast track taking many of these "think- they -ares" with them full tilt.

That's a timely find, Donna. So these are crazy days like we're seeing and believing; not alone thinking it. I agree on the release of demons, too. It all goes together. It's nice to be affirmed.

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3:13

(Soon! We Will Be With, THE LORD)

1 Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.
2 In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.
3 And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14
