Matt 12:43-45: When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
We erased Christ from national America in the 60s and 70s. Once we opened that floodgate of sin, there was never going to be any logical stopping point. We haven't seen the worst of it yet. Not by a long shot.
Eph 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The only way to stop this implosion is to, once again, put ourselves into God's hands, through Christ. But 50% of America is liberal, and liberals are clinically insane.
Those verses in Matthew 12 certainly describe how we got here.... and Romans 1 perfectly describes what constitutes ‘here’ starting with Verse 22 “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...” When reading this years ago in the context of the encroaching acceptance of ‘homosexuality’, it seemed that this was what this was specifically referring to. In reading it today, the issue of transgenderism can also be inferred in it. However, stepping back a bit further, the umbrella issue is simply this.... the rejection of God and the replacement of God with anything that the individual conjures up as being something that he/she thinks is right. This is just another version of “you are your own God”… and therefore you can be anything you want, do anything you want etc. This of course is a doctrine that is being rammed down our children’s throats in schools and elsewhere starting from a very young age. As Romans 1:25 says, “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.”
The phrase “in his own eyes” shows up several times in Scripture… and none of them in a particularly positive sense. Perhaps the most well known of these is Judges 17:6 which says …. “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” This almost perfectly encapsulates what we are seeing today with a culture that thinks that King Jesus can be replaced with whatever wild ideas can come out of one’s own mind.
There are of course consequences for rejecting God and these could not be laid out more clearly in the Romans passage. The free will that God gave mankind is allowed to play out…. “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:” (verse 26) and “God gave them over to a reprobate mind,” (verse 28). In other words., people are without excuse as God has given everyone all they need to know as far as how one should live but if the individual rejects that and chooses a different path, God allows them to do that….. but they are on their own and the end result of this is ‘death’.
Romans 1:32 has to be one of the saddest verses in Scripture…. “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Well crafted, thank you for saying what I was thinking. This is in The Peoples hands, they can choose to fight on the physical, and give themselves over to the spiritual(Christ).
