Part I: Ruling The Society of Wickedness
The phrase above was one the L-RD, my G-D put in my heart, mind, and soul. So
much so, it has been with me all this last week. Recently the news has been it
usual, filled with many ungodly and deviant events. As a result of this, I wrote
an article on Passing Sodom: Deviancy Goes Mainstream, it is published on our
sites, http://www.wingswatchman.org/, and our
WIBR/Warn News site- www.wingswatchman.org/WordPress,
and on www.raidersnewsupdate.com, aka Raiders News Network. It describes the
deviancy that is currently going on in America and how those who do such things
have been successful in convincing America what deviancy really is. This goes to
heart of Romans chapter one, where Paul was warning the Roman Christians of what
was going on in the world they lived in.
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that
which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error
which was meet. 28. And even as they did not like to retain God in
their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things
which are not convenient; 29. Being filled with all unrighteousness,
fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder,
debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30. Backbiters, haters of God,
despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to
parents, 31. Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural
affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32. 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
It was a society where rich men kept young boy homosexual lovers along with
their wives. This society had whores, prostitutes, gold, silver, slaves, riches,
houses, poor men, rich men, powerful men, and was doomed to be destroyed one
day. Thus it was very rich, full of powerful, and ruled the entire world of its
day. But they were completely wicked and idol worshippers. Their power and
nation continued even amidst all their wickedness. That is, until the L-rd G-d
cut them off. He did this by over running their empire with other barbarian
tribes who also destroyed the Roman city, even destroying the Christian worship
center there. In the end, the wickedness of Rome was cut off and G-d continued
to rule from his throne. Finish reading Part I and Part II
This attitude of Rome at the time was that their war
machine, which was indeed the greatest the world had ever seen, was their
strength. They saw this and did not worry about enemies. Over the many years of
their rule they conquered and ruled as the only might on earth. During this
reign of power they brought in civilized roads and communication. They brought
the Greek language and influence in, causing it to spread in the world. Through
this Greek language, the apostles communicated the gospel to the gentiles who
learned this language. Rome also brought in wealth, safety, and created an
atmosphere for commerce. Many nations traded and the adage was “all roads led to
Rome”. Rome was at the zenith of power and prosperity in the world when the
Caesar did not know in the conquered land of the Jews, a young preacher was
about to be crucified. He also did not know this same preacher, a Jew claimed to
be the Messiah. He did not know this young Jew prophesied that Jerusalem, the
temple, and the people in the city itself would be destroyed. In the end over
one million people died during that siege, the young preacher-prophet and
Messiah was correct. Yet this Messiah is at the right hand of the Father waiting
to return to earth. Isaiah prophesied of this Messiah, the might G-d, who will
have a government which shall never end.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and
the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace. 7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be
no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to
establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The
zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
What this tells us is that America be warned. No king, nation, or
country will be saved by their own hand, army, host, or their strength. Those
who trust in chariots, war horses, or men will be destroyed.
Psalms 33:16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a
mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17. An (war) horse is a
vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great
strength.
For Strong is the L_RD G_D who judges her and rules the nations. He is the
governor of the nations. The raises up as he did America and he tears down as he
did Rome, Sodom, Gomorrah, Babylon, and many others. The L_RD Sees and hears the
plans, plots, and counsel of the wicked nations. He knows what the Security
Council is doing. His ears have heard the plots of the planners for their New
World Order. He knows of the North American Union. Yet in all the wisdom of men,
the L-RD’S counsel will stand. He will bring to nothing the plans of the
nations. All they do, in fact, will fulfill what he has already spoken would
happen at the mouth of his prophets and apostles..
Psalms 33:10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought:
he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. 11. The counsel of
the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all
generations. 12. ¶Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the
people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. 13. The LORD
looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14. From the
place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the
earth. 15. He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
works.
We need to understand why the Apostles, Prophets, and even many Christians
today are warning of what will happen when societies turn from the former ways
to the godless ways. The simple truth is this, “God recognizes the righteous and
those who do righteously”. When the church loses his savor as salt, when the
people of G-d cease to be lights shining amidst the darkness, when they look
just like the world, then they will be judged as the world. If the L-RD looks
upon you today will he see righteousness or something else? Can the L-RD tell
the difference between you and the world? These are questions to ask yourself.
The L-RD will deliver, hid, and bring to himself all those who walk according to
his ways. He knows how to keep you, deliver you, and protect you during these
times.
Psalms 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him,
upon them that hope in his mercy; 19. To deliver their soul from
death, and to keep them alive in famine. 20. Our soul waiteth for the
LORD: he is our help and our shield. 21. For our heart shall rejoice
in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. 22. Let thy mercy, O
LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have
wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be
hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
Today know that you are called and given a choice. I know of many ministers
who are multi-millionaires and teach their people the highest form of
Christianity is riches and wealth. Of course, they say this to convince you to
give to them. “With money” they say, “You can do more for the L-RD”. The trouble
today is that in our churches we look, sound, and act just like the world. We
are accepting abominations in our churches and will in the end pay for it. Just
read the first three chapters of Revelation and take heed to the warnings in
those Words, but also take note of the over comers! Who are you today? Ask
yourself this: “Am I a child of G-d, a worker of righteousness, and one who is
waiting for the L-RD’S return, or am I lukewarm and just like the world?
That is why today, the L-RD is saying to you “Having done all, to stand,
stand therefore”! Have you done all to stand as a child of G-D? When the tough
times come, you will know. Because history has proven you reap what you sow. The
L-RD G-D warned Israel and he is warning both the Church and America, saying
“Take heed how you stand, lest you fall!”
Isaiah 65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall
all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when
I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that
wherein I delighted not.
Part II: Having Done all, to stand, Stand Therefore!
You stand by taking all the armour of G-D! Having Done
all, to stand, Stand Therefore! Stand so you can stand against the deceits of
the Devil!
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil.
Stand so you can With all The Evil in the Evil Day! Stand
in the Power (His dominion, strength, and manifested power) of His
might! This is standing in the L_RD, you are in His kingdom authority,
dominion, and majesty through Christ Jesus. You are standing against all hell,
earth, and the devil, but doing so in the dominion, strength, and manifested
power of the L-RD.
Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that
ye may be able to withstand in the evil day [phrase: anthistemi], and having
done all, to stand.
“Withstand in the evil day” in the Greek: ‘Anthistemi’- withstand,
vigorously opposing, bravely resisting, standing face to face against an
adversary, standing your ground.
You are standing against the ‘arche’ principalities, the commanding generals
over Satan’s fallen armies. You are standing against ‘exousia’ powers, the high
ranking powers of evil. You are standing against ‘Kosmokrates’ rulers of the
darkness of this age, the governing spirits of darkness. You are standing
against ‘paneria’ wicked spirits in heavenly places, who comprise the body of
soldiers of satans hordes. You are standing against wicked men, women,
governments, and all others these powers of hell are using to bring forth their
kingdom of darkness to be ruled by the Son of Perdition. [2 thess 2]
Ask yourself have I done all I can? If so, when tough
times come, stand by faith! The armor Paul mentions below is the same armor
prophesied of the Messiah would wear. We find this in ( Is11:5; 59:17; 52:7)
Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your
feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all,
taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked. 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, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Prepare for action, walk in the truth of G-D’S word. Be
holy, look for the L-RD’S return, and do not sway from the truth. For the Father
will judge all men according to their works, so know that what you do, even if
you call yourself Christian will be judged. Beware, WALK in TRUTH!
1 Peter 1:13 ¶Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and
hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation
of Jesus Christ; 14. As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15. But as he which
hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16.
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 17. And if ye
call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every
man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Put on righteousness, make no allowances to walk in the flesh, or do
those things which wickedness brings into men of darkness. Cast off,
put away, and do not follow those who would fool you, delude you, or tell you
this is not so!
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us
therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of
light. 13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
envying. 14. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not
provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Be prepared in this wicked day, amidst the deceits of the devil to proclaim
the Gospel of Peace! No matter how dirty, filthy, rotten, sick society is
today, G-D’S grace is more than able to save anyone if they repent and follow
the L-RD our G-D! To this end you were saved, now do not be dissuaded, but
pursue the calling to proclaim the Salvation of the L-RD!
Isaiah 52:7 ¶How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him
that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings
of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God
reigneth! 8. Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice
together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall
bring again Zion. 9. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste
places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed
Jerusalem. 10. The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all
the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our
God.
Our victory in this world is that we are born of God, and we are over
comers by Faith. Our victory over the World is our Faith.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and
this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5. Who
is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son
of God?
We are comforted by the fact that we have for a helmet the Salvation
of our G-D! For our G-D has not appointed us to experience his wrath,
but his salvation. Therefore be sober, clean, righteous, obeying all his
commandments, and walk by faith in this wicked society. Full of love, for Love
fulfills the commandments and the law.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting
on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of
salvation. 9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Take therefore the Word of G-D and wield it as a Sword! When you do
so the Word becomes the Rhema word!That Word of God which is spoken to
fight the battle! Take G-D’S word, pray G-D’S, speak G-D’S word, and mix it with
Faith!
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word [Rhema] that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God. Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as
well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed
with faith in them that heard it.
The L_RD will know those that are His and deliver
them Many who have ignored all these warnings will cry out loud and
ask G-d for deliverance when the L-RD overturns the wicked and their societies
in the last days. Be warned, ignore these scriptures to your own peril. But be
comforted in knowing that if you are doing all this, then the L-RD will surely
know you as one of his righteous ones.
Isaiah 66:4 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.
Colossians 3:5 ¶Mortify therefore your members which are upon the
earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry: 6. For which things’ sake the wrath
of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
