WHAT IS GOD DOING?

 

My pastor said Sunday inwardly we are yearning for Jesus, yearning to go home. Are you yearning (longing for)?

HELLO GOD! ARE YOU THERE?

Since March, God has repeatedly taken me back to Hebrews 12:26-28. I knew that when this Chinese virus hit and we had to "Shelter In Place", that God was up to something. What I wasn't certain, but I prayed, and I watched and I read these verses in Hebrews. And here is what I saw.

God was shaking everything we had taken for granted, things we were so accustomed to that in some cases would even be little idols in our lives. Suddenly we found we couldn't have sports, we couldn't have entertainment, we couldn't go out to eat, businesses were closed, people were losing much needed income, grocery shopping was not stocked as before, we couldn't visit loved ones in Assisted Living, or Nursing Homes, kids couldn't go to school, couldn't go to playgrounds, and told we couldn't go to church!  What is God doing?

I saw that God was shaking everything around us, shaking us as we have never been shaken before. I knew that in this time God was calling out His church to search their hearts to bring us to prayer, bring us to His word, bring us to revival as we are locked away from living as we once did. God wanted us to see just how far we had fallen from Him, how we had allowed the luxury of the world and all we took for granted to become our focus. 

The church was being tested, we were in the Refiner's Fire, what would we look like when all was opened back up. Would our time in our homes change us, bring us back to our first love, or would we just pick up where we left off?

But then came the masks, promoted by the media as day after day numbers were reported of new virus cases, increases expected, deaths would continue. We go out to limited places but not without a mask, children if they went physically to school had to wear a mask, stay a safe distance, not engage in childhood activities with their friends. No longer could we have friendly chit chat while at the store, your spit and nose particles may spray someone! ( Let me say I know the virus is real, many have died and many of my friends have it even now. God did not send the virus but He knew it was coming) Many conformed well others didn't. What is God doing?

More hurricanes making landfall, fires out of control, soaking rain. What in the world is God doing?

We thought most of the fuss would settle down after November 3! Well surprise surprise nothing like I expected. What is God doing?

Those who know me knows my political stand, I vote my core values that is as close to God's biblical standard that means I will never vote Democrat! So I have prayed and I have prayed over this election, and I am still praying because we knew the Democrats would do everything they could to steal this election. Also knowing that the kingdom of darkness was operating in the world, and particularly over America I prayed and I believed! I knew that certain things had to take place in order for the prophecy of God's word to be completely fulfilled. We saw a stage being set, that would usher in a New World Government, a One World Currency, a One world Religion. The Democrats call it "A Reset", but in reality it is what God calls it One World Government. Chaos has to come, our economy has to fail, churches must be persecuted, because those things will take place to usher in the rapture of the church, and the arrival of the Antichrist! I knew if we lost this election, we were smack  in the middle of God's prophetic timeline. But Now God, Now?

I do not know the final outcome of this election, in all probability it will go to the Supreme Court. So I still pray. Having said that God took me back to 

Hebrews 12:26-28 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this "Yet once more", indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably we reverence and godly fear.

The principalities, and powers, demonic activity rules in the air, they come upon nations, governments, people, media and wherever they can bring in their deception, lies, because the only goal of Satan and his minions is to Steal, Kill and Destroy. But we the believers and followers of Christ have been given the key of authority over them through prayer and we have been given armor to wear to fight these battles and it is written that God is our rear guard.  I said that because when God shook the heavens before was when He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be our substitute for sin. When will God shake the heavens again? Now I am not a Prophet, not a Theologian but we are experiencing a shaken in the spiritual realm. 

I knew what may happen if the election turned, but to be very honest I never expected it to. I believed and still trusting that God will push back the darkness that America will have another opportunity to reach the lost, to be the nation He desired for us to be and we failed to stand up for what was righteous and allowed evil to be called good.

What is my point? Just as God has been shaken us since March as I wrote above. God is even now shaking our political system. We, church, must not allow ourselves to look at anything that would take our eyes off of Jesus and His kingdom. Though I am thankful we live in a nation that we have the privilege to vote, we can no longer take even that for granted. We assumed because we voted as God would have us to vote we would have victory. But the enemy is claiming his territory and everything we have held dear is being shaken! God is turning up His Refiner's Fire heat. Because in these latter days we must be able to remain faithful, to endure to the end.

This election is not over until God says it is over, and we do not stop praying until God says STOP!

It's being shaken, so we will run to Him, to humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways, seek His face and pray. This is for the church not the unbeliever, but when we get our hearts right God will send revival, and the lost will seek God through us. We are His vessel He will use.

Stay faithful, God isn't finished!
