Ezekiel 5 NKJV: A Sword Against Jerusalem - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%205&version=NKJV

Holy Father, America has lost her way and is in rebellion against you, just like Israel in your Word. Ezekiel 5:6 states that "She has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.’” Although in reference to Israel, the footprint of evil is recognizable and describes the state of America today!

Ezekiel 5:11 states in part "‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.” Holy Father, shake up the apostate churches in American and around the world. Destroy the idols and scatter the wicked who’ve infiltrated the church! Turn over their tables and drive them out of your house! We call for purification of your bride!

Just as the Lord warned the people of Jerusalem in Ezekiel chapter 5:7, “‘Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you’— therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations.”

Ezekiel 5:14 “Moreover I will make you a waste and a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by. 15 ‘So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. 16 When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your supply of bread. 17 So I will send against you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’”

Holy Father, let all America and the world receive the warning of your coming Wrath—Pestilence, famine and death by sword! Although we know you are a patient, merciful, slow-to-anger and gracious God, you are also a just God who cannot not tolerate evil forever. Put the words of your prophets before us constantly so we may see clearly again. Remove our spirit of blindness. Remind us over and over of your final Victory over Satan and his followers so we may once again fear and respect our mighty God.

We lament the downfall of America and nations around the world. We pray for protection of your children, especially the young and innocent, who are corrupted more and more every day by shameless pedophiles, perverts and sex traffickers. We cry out for your victory against the slaughter of the preborn. Father God, stop the arrogant deviants twisting our children’s minds with perversions and delusion that they are their own god in attempts to neutralize your plans for them. Shut down the indoctrination centers pretending to be schools where our children are turned against their families and parents, to be devoured by Satan. Stop the wicked leaders in this current administration fighting our country to legalize the murder of the preborn. Halt the wicked promotion of gender confusion which destroys children’s minds and bodies. Sweep clean this nation’s libraries which are now full of pornographic filth aimed at children. Burn up the plans of pedophiles pushing to legalize destruction of youth. Reverse the destruction of homosexuality, fornication, divorce, transgenderism and all perversions that have gained foothold in America. Protect American from the wicked schemes of globalists with god complexes, pushing their antichristian systems and worldview on us.

We pray for our leaders that they may turn from their wicked ways and discover the Truth who is You. Stop the theft of the people’s money and its use to promote sin around the world. Even other nations are noticing how far America has fallen, Lord!

We are so thankful for your Holy Spirit who helps us to speak and act in such a time as this. America was founded to glorify you. We have strayed so far and want to return to You! We are grateful for your Armor and protection of your remnant.

Ephesians 6:10-20 (NKJV)

The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

RT Kendall: The Role Transgenderism Plays in the End-Times Falling Away
6:00AM EDT 10/25/2019 STEPHEN STRANG
https://www.charismanews.com/opinion/78533-r-t-kendall-the-role-transgenderism-plays-in-the-end-times-falling-away

There are plenty of changes taking place in our culture nowadays, and many of them are against the Word of God. For instance, transgenderism has taken such a strong hold on our nation that anyone who disagrees with it is seen as a hateful bigot. Is this a part of the “great falling away” of the last days? Respected Bible teacher and author Dr. R.T. Kendall thinks so.

If you don’t believe him, just look at the news. Just this week, a Texas father lost his rights to stop his ex-wife from turning their 7-year-old son into a girl. Jeff Younger says his wife, Dr. Anne Georgulas, has accused him of child abuse because he won’t treat their son James like a girl.

But Younger says James only expresses interest in being a girl when he’s around his mother. He’s so desperate to save his son from transgenderism’s deceptive grip that he started an online campaign called #SaveJames.

This situation would have been unthinkable several years ago. When I was a child, I had never heard of transgenderism, same-sex marriage or other unbiblical things our culture has made popular. But what does the Bible have to say about all this?

Kendall has some great wisdom to offer on this very subject. I interviewed him on my “Strang Report” podcast to discuss what he would teach about transgenderism on the trip to Israel he was planning for the Feast of Tabernacles. (You can also listen to Kendall speak on what happened to our culture’s view of the gospel.)

He started by telling me that Jesus was unashamed to call us His brothers because He sanctified us (Heb. 2:11). In response, we must be unashamed of God and how He created us male and female. After all, He had a specific purpose in creating mankind male and female. He, not we, created the biological distinctions. Who are we to be ashamed of His creation?

“I’m going to urge people to be unashamed of God, that He will be unashamed of us, because we’re ready to take a stand for creation—male and female,” Kendall says.

But how are Christians supposed to be unashamed of biblical beliefs regarding gender when transgender ideology is being taught in school as fact and anyone who disagrees is seen as bigoted? The answer, Kendall explains, lies in understanding God’s authority:

“[Transgenderism] is anti-God. It’s anti-Scripture. Paul said that in the last days there will be this falling away, and it’s happening rapidly—rapidly. Ten or 15 years ago, this was unthinkable. And now they’re in our faces with it, and they’re angry if we don’t agree with them. I have never known in my lifetime such hostility toward creation, in particular with reference to transgenderism.”

With such hostility against biblical beliefs, Christians can’t afford to try to play it safe and not hurt anyone’s feelings by lovingly expressing their views. On the contrary, now is the time for true believers to speak the truth with boldness. (Listen to my interview with Kendall about the value of being popular in heaven and famous in hell.)

“We’ve got to take a stand,” Kendall says. “The battle is fierce. And we must be unashamed. Jonathan Edwards taught us that the task of every generation is to discover in which direction the sovereign Redeemer is moving, then move in that direction.

“I would add that the task of every generation is to discover in which direction the current stigma that emerges is—in other words, we need to discover exactly the stigma by which the believer’s faith is tested—and be in the battle there.”

When the battle is fiercest, Kendall says, that is when it’s most important that we stand unashamed. (Listen to Kendall share the keys to the next great move of God.) For instance, 50 years ago, the battle was against creation itself and whether God truly did create the universe or if it was the product of mindless evolution. Now, though, the battle has narrowed down to a distinct aspect of creation—male and female genders.

But what could be clearer than the fact that human beings are divided into two distinct types: male and female? Aside from the chromosomal distinctions, men and women have very obvious physical differences that are impossible to deny.

“But now we’re told that gender is simply a social construct, the product of a biased society, and gender has no biological basis at all, that gender roles are being forced upon people, that gender is fluid—and it’s all against creation,” Kendall says. “Even in the last few weeks, scientific studies have come out that there are only two genders. They were hoping for three more, but there are only two. And science, like it or not, has vindicated the God of creation.”

Even people who have undergone gender reassignment surgery eventually come to understand this. Recently, Charisma News reported on a woman who had surgery to become a man and lived as a man for 11 years. KathyGrace Duncan turned to Jesus in her 20s and eventually renounced her trans lifestyle. Now, she embraces the woman God created her to be and looks to equip others to embrace the gender God gave them.

But Duncan is not the only one to regret her surgical transition.

“The untold story is how people who are now having a sex change—I mean by the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds—and they get angry with a psychologist or with a surgeon, with those who talked them into it. And they were not [warned about] the trauma and the psychological trauma—and they can’t reverse it. Once they do this, they can’t go back, and they are more depressed than ever.”

Thankfully, there is hope, just as Duncan’s testimony describes. Jesus can reach into anyone’s heart and transform their life. We released an entire series on the “Charisma News” podcast of people sharing their testimonies of how God delivered them from homosexuality or transgenderism. Jesus is still in the business of saving lives—and that will never change.

Listen to my full interview with Kendall to learn how you can stand strong in your faith and fight for biblical values in our anti-God generation. And if you’re ready to take a bold stand, share this article on your social media as a way of declaring that you’re not ashamed of God—and you’re not ashamed of His creation!

For National Repentance, Deliverance And Truth

Dear Lord and Heavenly King, thank You that there are no boundaries in Your kingdom and that You ultimately rule over heaven and earth, despite the fact that wickedness and evil seeks to dominate the nations of the world as well the lives of individuals.

I pray that You would set up godly men and women in positions of leadership and power in our own nation and in all the nations who exercise authority in our world today.

Thank You for those leaders that are prepared to stand up for truth and righteousness. Give them boldness to challenge those who want to to remove the principles of freedom and tolerance and establish the flawed principles that come from human wisdom.

Lord, I pray that You would guide the leaders of many nations to repent of their sins and turn to the path of peace that only comes from You. Help them to understand that the only peace that will ever be established on earth will be under the rule of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, after Your wrath has been poured out on a Christ rejecting sinful world. Have mercy Lord. Have mercy on all the leaders of nations who do not know You. I pray that many will be saved by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name I pray.

Amen.

Lord, we pray that we will be as Nineveh, that we will repent as a nation.

We mourn our decline. We especially mourn the damage being done to children.

Let us no longer accelerate our destruction, but let us repent and seek mercy.

Let us invite You back into our midst, that we may love, fear and serve the only true and living God.

in His name we do pray
