In the World You Will Have Tribulation, But Be of Good Cheer, I Have Overcome the World
The Sons of Constitutional Liberty ^ | 9/11/16 | Jim Newell

Posted on 06/11/2016 3:52:28 PM PDT by Jim W N

All Satan needs to capture people and nations is to get people to turn away from the Lord, which happened worldwide around the beginning of the 20th Century.

Satan is smarter than any man and all men put together, but God is more powerful and wiser than Satan. Those people and nations whose God is the Lord are blessed. But those people and nations who trust in man are cursed (Jer 16:5) because they are totally subject to the devil who “weakens the nations” (Is. 14:12).

So the road to the End began with first getting the world to reject trusting in God and say, “I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing” (Rev, 3:17). And he that “deceives the nations” (Rev. 20:8) will lead that same world that has thrown off trusting God into the abyss of the seven-year Tribulation, “a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation” (Dan 12:1).

This is God’s way of clearing the decks so to speak for his Son to come to rule the world as the Prince of Peace and the King of Kings immediately at the close of Armageddon, the climax of the Great Tribulation. “That which is determined shall be done” Dan 11:36. Nevertheless we are yet under God’s grace and I believe God is sending out the latter rain of the gospel of the grace of Christ to the uttermost parts of the world and will stay the “execution” for a few more decades, going out into the highways and byways” for one last great in-gathering before it all comes crashing down. (We don’t know the day or the hour, but we do know the times and the seasons. 1 Thess 5:1-11.)

Our hope is firmly in the Lord and not in man. It is by His mercy and grace, not man’s efforts, that America will not at this time freefall into oblivion. We as God’s people must let His light shine through us as a glory to God and a blessing to people.

“Arise, shine, for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold darkness covers the earth and gross darkness the people, but the Lord arises upon you and his glory is seen upon you.” Is 60:1-2.

Our job is to glorify God and bless man by living our faith and lighting the world. Our job is not to busy ourselves focusing on and cursing the darkness, although we do stand against the darkness in His power by his grace.

I guess this is meant to help bring perspective to today's relentless barrage of bad news and an encouragement to let our lights shine as God's people in an historical and prophetic time in history. What we do by God's grace now will matter for time and eternity.

God bless.

satan is smarter than all men put together? I don’t agree with that. The only thing that works on him is his mouth. He’s bright, but he makes LOTS of mistakes. He is also insane and twisted. That makes him weak. Cling to God and he runs like a schoolgirl.

So you are privy to the mind of God?

And He has therefor blessed you with a lame-ass blog?

Or maybe.. something else, hmm.

Your rude and obnoxious comment doesn't deserve this, but maybe for the sake of others who might be watching...

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Daniel 9:24-27.

He’s described as the one who weakens the nations and deceives THE WHOLE WORLD (Is 14:12; Rev 12:19). Yes he’s smarter than man who is not trusting the Lord, but man with Christ overcomes Satan.

Like it or not, his convincing lies to even the strongest Christian make Satan this world's second best salesman.

Even you've sinned even once, you've been out-smarted, haven't you?

Neither you nor your crappy blog speak for God.

Deal with it.

Go preach at the dumpster behind the chicken place.

Jim, I'm watching, and countless others are as well.

FR is blessed to have a man like yourself encourage and educate the rest of us.

Daniel's visions are truly frightening, but then again he warns the humble, the wise, and the righteous.

It isn’t a link. I meant to put “Sons of Constitutional Liberty” where it didn’t look like a link. Still learning how to do this stuff.

Good to read this morning, definitely a blessing. The link doesn’t work, though. Would you please post the correct link?

Glad it was a blessing.

Sorry about what appears to be a link. “Sons of Constitutional Liberty” is not a link - I’m still trying to figure out how to post this stuff. If ever I get a site or a blog, that’s probably what I would call it. At some point, once I learn how to set up a visible and easily usable site, I’d like to.
