Most people here on Free Republic feel the same way. Something is dreadfully wrong, and it is getting worse. Much worse. We live in the perhaps the most wicked time since the days of Noah.
but I'm becoming convinced there's more to it than a natural progression of things. I think there's growing evidence of a malevolent power accelerating this and to me that means the time during which the restrainer holds back the secret power of lawlessness (2 Thess. 2:7) is rapidly drawing to a close.
Same feeling.
There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-having a form of godliness but denying its power (2 Tim. 3:1-5)
we fight not against flesh and blood!
we cant let the busturds get us down!!
the socio political ASSUALT is not an afterthought
That pic. How is the Baltimore community cleaning up after their riot evidence of Satanic influence?
These people are definitely around in the evangelical movement. There is one fellow on WSHO-AM 800 in New Orleans who uses his Bible answers program to routinely denigrate Israel as an illegitimate and sacrilegious entity. Wish I could jot his name down but i only listen to that station while driving. It might be Woodrow Kroll but I am not certain so I don't want to say anything definitive . Are there any 800 AM listeners here? If so Have you encountered the same person on this station and his ant-Zionist message? If so can you tell me who he is?
Bump
“Humbling ourselves and praying” is not a good sign of the strength of a Christian society. That refers to a different covenant.
Evangelization is. And it has to start with re-evangelizing ourselves too... we’ve been way too comfortable with wallowing in sin.
America is an unusual situation in the world because of its strong gospel foundation. Of course the devil craves to make a mockery of it. If he finally succeeds, let it not be without a fight to bring the Lord to bear in every way possible. Hanging it up on the faith just because you think the second coming is looming, is not considered praiseworthy.
Yes, dark forces are at work, but there ARE REASONS TO HAVE HOPE:
There are many Real disciples of Jesus Christ, at work today in Scandinavia, Europe, Asia and yes, even in the USA.
They are doing as was taught in the Book of Acts; they are healing the sick, preaching the gospel, casting out demons, baptizing in water, praying that those saved be filled with the Holy Spirit.
These disciples are training new disciples, and they are doing the same miracles too. Those in turn train more, and on and on...
See YouTube videos “Miracles in Poland” or “Miracles in Sweden” etc. This system of creating new disciples and putting them to work quickly is called “Kick-starting” and it’s spreading via social media.
Look up Torben Sondergaard on YouTube: here’s a humble guy who’s working for REAL CHANGE TODAY.
I know of several disciples in Florida! The harvest is great, we need workers that will go into the fields!
These miracles are real!
I have no doubt about this. I see and sense our world is descending into a chaos of evilness. I will say this I believe Christians will go thru the tribulation. I believe this is our test. This is where God will separate the Wheat from the Chaff. I sensed this when Obama first announced he was running for US President. I just got a very very bad vibe from him. Again, he is not the Anti-Christ but I do believe he is the Beast that gives power unto the Anti-Christ. All we can do now is pray. The bible does say to pray that we escape the tribulation. From my understanding some Christians will go thru tribulation and some will not.
“Something is dreadfully wrong”
Yes, I’m very concerned our nation might not have much time as evil is allowed to stalk the streets.
Very disconcerting. I’ve been feeling it in my gut lately.
