Agreed. That is why I was wondering if other people are experiencing the same thing.

I am certainly facing more spiritual opposition of late. I mentioned this to one of my friends and he was experiencing the same.

We may be experiencing what it is like when God withdraws His restraints ... evil is rising and it IS alarming. Hallmark of this rise is the increasing 'up is down', 'wrong is right', to do evil is normal, 'degeneracy is an alternate lifestyle our children must tolerate and eventually embrace.' In the Old Testament we read of similar times, with the following identifying theme: In those days there was no king in Israel, and every man did what was right in his own eyes. In the Church Age, the king in the heart is either God's Holy Spirit spark, or satan's inveigling.
