Not Everybody Comes Under The Delusion...

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: ( 2 Thessalonians 2:9-13)

What a strange time we live in. God has chosen us to live in the day of the Lie, the delusion which He promised to send as a judgment on those who do not love the truth.

I speculated yesterday about the rapid and widespread acceptance of what once would have been unthinkable, nauseous, and even insane, and which is now seen as “wholesome”, “Family friendly”, and “loving”, ie th sexual anarchy of Gay, Lesbian and transgender madness sweeping the world now. Could this be a portent of the “Strong Delusion” Paul and Isaiah warned us about?

I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not. (Isaiah 66:4)

Thus saith the LORD.

I didn’t even mention another prime, puzzling example of this strange acceptance of the unacceptable and even disgusting. I speak of “Good Morning America”, and the hosts, Football Star Michael Strahan, and Sara Haines, celebrating “the Amazing Desmond” the drag kid!

How cruel and crazy to celebrate the perverse sexualization of a ten year old boy! This comes from an article called

How cruel and crazy to celebrate the perverse sexualization of a ten year old boy! This comes from an article called Good Morning America Promotes Child Drag Queen”

Desmond identifies as a same-sex attracted “androgynous drag kid” who developed an affection for women’s clothing at age six. When his parents showed concern, a “therapist” told them to let Desmond simply “explore” himself. According to LifeSiteNews, he became a celebrity in the LGBT community after appearing in a music video by RuPaul and Jinkx in 2014.

In his appearance on “Good Morning America” earlier this month, Desmond, known onstage as “Desmond is Amazing,” got the royalty treatment by co-hosts Michael Strahan and Sara Haines, who celebrated him as a brave pioneer.

Desmond, wearing a blonde wig and makeup with a feminine white coat, strutted out onto the stage to cheering applause before segueing into a brief discussion on his love for trains and root beer. Later, several “iconic drag queens” were invited out to meet Desmond: Hedda Lettuce, Shannel, and Alyssa Edwards; all of whom praised the boy as “courageous,” “inspirational,” and “the future of drag.”

We are back in the cruel days of the Roman and Greek Empire, where pederasty was routine, and children were used as chattel by powerful, perverted and sadistic people. Satan seems to have cut the last moorings of the old Judea Christian world, which protected children, the poor and helpless and which tried to put the genie of sexual anarchy into the bottle of marriage between a man and a woman. It wasn’t a perfect world, but far better than the cold, evil , sadistic age which is descending upon us.

There is certainly no love or respect for poor Desmond and all of those like him. They are too young to even have to deal with the depraved issues thrust upon them. Are we an unredeemable civilization? IS there any time left? Endgames Deceptions

But Paul makes it clear that not everybody comes under the delusion. The delusion comes as a judgment upon those “who receive not the love of the truth, and who have pleasure in unrighteousness”.

There are others, (unfortunately an ever shrinking number) who do not accept it, and will not go along with this new, sexually anarchic world. Not everybody will come under the delusion, and not everybody will eventually take the Mark of the Beast, which is the final and irreversible expression of the current apostasy.

Tremendous pressures are coming to bear on everybody to go along with what is abominable and unnatural. Not necessarily to do those things, it would be enough to force us all into the acceptance of those very things which our God has pointedly rejected as abomination.

In the name of Social Justice, or of Civil Rights for all, or in the name of compassion for the “bullied” or minorities, a good many of our former institutions which should have been a bulwark against this onslaught on our society, have caved to the demand to accept the unacceptable. The Supreme court betrayed the nation by decreeing out of thin air a new definition of marriage, instantly changing the moral landscape and making those who once were part of a vast consensus into beleaguered outliers. Satan is subtle. The LORD taught me a very sobering lesson one day about five years ago, which I would like to pass on to you by way of warning.

A friend who was an evangelist brought a woman to our Palm Sunday service. The music was charged with the glory of God, the worship, prayers, everything just full of the Spirit. The sermon was about the last week of Jesus’ life, and very powerfully pointed towards the cross.

When the service was over this woman visiting was crying, almost shaking under conviction. My friend asked her if she now knew that God brought her to this place, “Yes” she answered. Did she believe the message she had heard about Jesus? “Yes” she most definitely did. Did she want to pray with us to accept Jesus as Her LORD and Saviour and be saved? “I would love to…but I cannot do it”, was her reply.

“Why Not?” My friend asked her. “Because though I know this to be true, and I can feel God in this place, and though I myself do not practice homosexuality, I have a lot of gay friends, and I feel it would be slap in their face if I became a born again Christian”, she replied, in a totally convincing way. She believed this.

I believe the Holy Spirit spoke to me in my mind, that morning, saying, “You don’t have to be a homosexual to go to hell for homosexuality, all have to do is remain in total and unquestioning support of it…”. Not everybody in Sodom or Gommorah were practicing homosexuals, but they all seemed to be in support of it. Too many people have caved in to the propaganda, and too many preachers refuse to take God’s side in the controversy of our day ( which is totally spiritual, a spiritual warfare if I ever saw one).

The only ones who will not come under the delusion are the ones who still “cry and sigh” over the abominations being committed now, and who just cannot come to peace with them.And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: (Ezekiel 9:4-5)

There are still many who just will not go along with it, their loyalty is to God and to the Word of God, they cannot change with the times that much. The pressure is going to increase, upon that shrinking remnant, a persecution is coming, which will imply psychological warfare, guilt and shame basing techniques, phony preachers will come out and implore the holdouts to succumb to the acceptance of what God calls evil, and abominable. Slogans like “Love the Sinner but hate the sin” are almost deceptive at this point, because in God’s economy it isn’t that easy to separate the sin from the sinner, when the sin is celebrated in “Pride Marches” in the most degrading fashion, and using children as props for their debauchery.

Thank you for this post.

Good stuff as usual.

I have heard it said that those of us who have been selected to live in the end times will be facing temptations that other Christians never did and that it will be harder to face than much of what Christians in the past have faced.

HMMMmmm...
Not quite...
2 Peter 2:7-8
...and if He rescued Lot, a righteous man distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—
 
but my bible ALSO says:
 
Genesis 19:4-5 (NIV)
 
Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house.
They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”

A BIBLICAL Message about homosexuality



 
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.


Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

 
 


Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.

Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

================================================

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.

They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.


Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
 
 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. 


2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Depravity is infectious with dead souls. Those alive in Christ are repulsed by such degeneracy and debauchery, and especially by the use of children to promote such filthiness. We have a political party running our Congress which not only approves of such degeneracy, it uses it to empower itself and even promote a sexual degenerate with homosexuality DISEASE as a presidential candidate to represent them. You’ve nailed them, Pastor.

It’s our government that pushes thus crap. Gay marriage, abortions, hate speech.

Not much we can do here when this all this backed up by the police state. The government uses Romans 13 to silence Christians. No one can ever rebel because the government is ordained by God. Jesus took punishment when he was totally innocent and we must follow his example and take it.

But we ought to render to Caesar that which is Caesar’ and to God that which is God’s.

And we still have prayer at our disposal.

We cannot support abortion and homosexuality under the guise of submitting to the government.

Yes, we can rebel. The first century Christians refused to bow the knee to Caesar. And it did cost them. They did not break any laws of the land, but when push came to shove, they took their stand.

I think He illustrated such separating in John 6, when those who saw only the carnal turned away and ceased following Him.
