August 28

These past months, the Lord has led me to stop posting and to spend more time watching and praying. Today I felt led to share some of the events which I felt are coming forth amongst us which we the body of Christ need to know and be made aware of. As always, please put all these to the test as we are commanded in Scriptures. " Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-22)

Evil forces is being unleashed against the earth and I saw it coming downward like a dark clouds which initially was small. But through time, I notice that it become bigger and bigger. The clouds represent the power of evil and these forces feast on the weakness of men. Whenever men allows evil to triumph. The force and size of these dark clouds grows. Christians are not immune to these attack either. Fear, insecurity, pride, unforgiveness, bitterness, jealousy, greed, gossips, lusts for power or flesh, unresolved misunderstanding, were just some areas which has become food for these forces to be feasting upon.

The darkness will continue to grow and the pressure will continue to increase. The spiritual atmosphere around us will not get better but because of the prevalence and magnitude of the spiritual food available to them, darkness will seem to choke the earth.

The Lord has called many Christians this season to walk as martyrs for Christ. This may not imply physical death, but it does involve dying to many things. These people will suffer much in battling these forces. Most of their suffering might not be perceivable in the surface but inward struggle to allow the light of God to shine forth through them and in their situations.

Godly Christian parents has to struggle with maintaining their faith as they see the enemy ravaging their children. Spouses has to continue walking in faithfulness and love as the see their partners falling into cycle of sin and even unbelief. Christian businessmen have to fight despair as they see their resources dwindling or snatch from them not of their own fault. Christian soldiers in the battlefield will face resistance, taste persecution and being maligned and mis-understood and may not see fruits coming out of their years of sowing.

These are just some area of martyrdom that God is calling his faithful servants to be walking in this season. Praise God for His provision that when sins abound, His grace aboundeth much more and truly these chosen one will not waver but press in like flint , and thought they stumble at times they will not fall totally for God will sustain them and uphold them.

We will be able to discern the nature of the spirit at work in our midst through the manifestation in the lives of the people around us who allowed themselves to be used by the enemy. As God's chosen one continue to walk in the opposite nature of these spirit, not fighting fire with fire, but walking in humility and forgiveness when pride and hatred or anger is being exhibited, or walking in generosity when greed is present, or walking in perseverance and godly hope when despairs seem to take control of the situation around us or walking in honesty and integrity when deceit comes against us or when we bless those who curse us or maltreat us. God's people will have to live out in their very lives Jesus teaching about the "beatitudes" (Matthew 5:3-12)

In this manner, God's people through their obedience will break down the stronghold that the enemy has established in our midst and thus prepare the way for the coming of God's Spirit. This is a type of spiritual battle that God will led His people to do this season.

In Daniel 10:12-13, the angel Michael explained to Daniel how he has to battle the prince of the Persian kingdom who has been trying to resist him and have delayed God's answer to Daniel's prayer despite God's hearing them the first day Daniel prayed . So in the same manner, God has send angelic hosts to battle the spiritual forces coming upon the earth. And the labor of God's chosen ones will not be in vain. Some may not see the fruit of their labor in their lifetime, but the impact of their sacrifice for Christ will be great and will result in great blessings to many generations after them. Their reward will not be seen on earth but will be immeasurable in heaven's eyes.

The days for building tower of Babel is over. This means that in the coming days, great organization or great wealth build upon a single person or single entity will fall. The Lord is encouraging His people to network, meaning not taking over but working together, with each maintaining their individuality. This is applicable not just to church scenarios, but even in business as well. This type of setup will call for greater sacrifices as we need to learn to live with each other without exerting control over each other but rather in respecting each other. But this is the way that I felt God has intends things to be in the future.

Even in government. God will began to cause the strength and individuality of each nations to be recognized and they will be made to take part instead of a few strong nations leading the rests of the world.

We are not to despise small start, simple things, or small talents. For there is a call to "go back to basic" so to speak in many areas. This includes family values & traditions ,even ways in running a business, in conducting church and other area as well. Things that our forefathers used to do and we now think are outdated and no longer fashionable will once more proved to be important keys to success again.

Scenes of families taking walk together, of parents reading to their children, of people sitting on the porch and just talking, of employers playing basketball and football with their employees, were flashed before me. Events like these that we may have taken for granted today because of the fast pace of our lifestyle will once more prove to be the catalysts that will bind us closer and made us stronger.

Those who are walking in humility and accountability will be protected by the Lord. We need to developed these virtues in our lives for they will become like the cloak that can protect us against the evil assault coming against us.

God will turn the evil attack against us as tools to sharpen us in these virtues. What the enemy meant for evil, God will used for His good and to accomplish His purpose in our lives which is to conformed us into the image of Christ.

Like fireflies lightning a tree in an dark night. So the light coming from God's people who are walking in obedience to Him will continue to light up the darkness that seem to be overcoming the earth. And these small individual lights when bonded together by God will one day bursts forth in great light which will result in the glory of God being seen in the whole earth and as a witness to all people.
