“Woke” Counterfeit – Part 2

My last post was about the similarity between God’s last day harvest “Awakening” and the recent leftist “woke” movement. The so-called woke folks are actually Marxists, socialists, anarchists, fascists, and a mix of radical Muslims. They all share the same goal of destroying American history, culture, and our Judeo-Christian roots. Their strategy is to divide and conquer. Make no mistake, this is spiritual warfare. Where the Bible gives hope and salvation, they only bring fear and chaos. The woke crowd are following an evil spirit that is a counterfeit to the living awakening coming from the Holy Spirit of Yehovah God.

They obey a very unholy spirit. They riot and make unreasonable demands. I remember my mentor, Derek Prince, saying: “You can never satisfy a demanding spirit.” Therefore, it is time to rise to the hour for which we have been chosen.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:10-13

Remember what the prophet Elisha said: “More are they that are with us, that they that are with them.” Paul emphasized this is not a human level war, but against supernatural darkness and wicked rulers in the spiritual dimension. Thus, it requires a completely different armor and weaponry.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Notice that we have spiritual authority to defeat high arguments exalted against God. Why are many Christians so timid and fearful? That is not our calling and equipping. We must understand our enemy and our superior authority over him. Behind all the political diatribe is an actual living being called the devil. 

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (Jesus) John 10:10

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (Jesus) John 16:33

“Choose life!” is far more than a pro-life slogan, it is the life and death choice of Heaven or hell. Eternal life freely offered by Jesus. There is no other way to find it. The devil does all he can to distract people from the most fundamental choice they will ever make. The choice is not about politics or race or sexuality or even religion. It is about a relationship with our Creator, Yehovah God the Father. And it is only available through Yeshua ben Yehovah, Jesus Christ, the Son. Where do you stand?

God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23:19 

Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Revelation 12:10-11

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and rain for Israel.

The “Woke” Counterfeit

29 09 2021

Winston Churchill

What if the “Woke” movement, in the secular left-wing, is a demonic counterfeit to God’s last days harvest “Awakening?” The woke movement is a patchwork of lies reminiscent of Satan, the father of lies. We are in a spiritual battle that is larger than ideology. It is a war for men’s minds, yes; but it is more for their very souls. We are seeing historic levels of deception. 

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10

Sometimes I ask: “Will it get better and better before Jesus comes, or will it get worse and worse?” The answer is: “Yes, both!” In the parable of the wheat and tares, Jesus clearly indicated they would grow up together and then the harvest. Even Revelation 14:14-20 speaks of two harvests. One is salvation and the other is the wrath of God on the wicked.

I believe we are living in the time of the last great awakening harvest, but also the great apostasy. Both are true at the same time. Don’t think it is either/or. While the world is growing more and more deceived, the Holy Spirit is still speaking to hearts, revealing the truth to those who love truth. 

The devil is not creative. He does not have original thinking. He can only pervert existing truth. Satan always tries to copy what God is doing. The present “Woke” movement is just that, a counterfeit. Do not be discouraged, a remnant will be saved. It is our job to speak truth. The Holy Spirit will bear witness to truth and those who love truth will be saved.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:7-8

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for Israel’s rain.

Equality vs Equity

29 07 2021

Dry Bones Woke

You need to know the difference between these two words. I like to talk about “fun with words,” but this issue is not fun. America is under assault from a Marxist “cultural revolution” much like the terrible China revolution under Mao. Manipulation of words through redefinition and confusion is typical. As in the cartoon, there are many new issues being used by the “Woke” culture to divide Americans. I am focusing on just one of those issues.

Equality and equity come from the same root word, equal. But, they have opposite meanings. Today’s Marxists use “equity” because it conflates and confuses the two words. They sound to most hearers like they both mean equal, but here is the difference. Equal refers to “equal opportunity.” Equity refers to “equal outcomes.”

America has always stood for equality. The Declaration of Independence states that “all men are created equal.” All should have equal opportunity for the American dream. That used to be out of reach for many, but through the years this equal opportunity has expanded exponentially as our nation has matured. New laws freed the slaves, gave them the right to vote and much more. Women who were denied voting rights finally gained that right. My point is that we continue to correct past wrongs, and although we have more to do, we still “have come a long way, baby,” as the saying goes.

Equity, on the other hand, demands (even by force) that all have equal outcomes. All people should have equal shares of wealth, regardless of their effort. This is unbiblical. The Bible teaches personal responsibility and accountability. No wonder rejection of God goes with this “cultural revolution.” Marxism has always been characterized by godless atheism.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7

“For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.” 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12

Free stuff from the government is not Biblical. With the requirement of responsibility comes the ability to respond. Our laws should be sure to protect everyone’s opportunity for advancement. History is full of rags to riches stories of those from humble beginnings who achieved great things. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina is a great current example. He was on the verge of a life of drugs and rebellion when a Christian owner of a Chick-fil-A restaurant helped him change his life through opportunity to know Jesus and the opportunity to advance at work. In fact, prosperity and liberty are connected to the blessing of God. Faith in the Messiah Yeshua changes all lives for the better beyond color, gender, or other differences.

So, when you encounter the propaganda about equality and equity, remember the distinction between opportunity and outcome.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for seasonal rain.
