Two directions at the same time

James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

An attempt to go two different directions at the same time does not work.

There is prayer for revival in the church. But unbeknownst to some, due to the fake media, there is prayer and energy sent in an opposite direction.

The church does not see how backing the war in Ukraine, backing the neo-Nazis in Ukraine, contradicts prayers for revival.

“Russia, Russia, Russia” has been a mantra of the left when they have needed a scapegoat against a political enemy; that enemy of the Swamp and globalists has been Donald J. Trump which is why there has been so much “Russiagate” against him.

In the name of “Russia, Russia” Ukraine has become a money-laundering proposition for corruption. The Ukrainian people are used as cannon fodder. The United States, deceiving many people with “Russia, Russia” “the big bad wolf, Russia”, the United States, by pouring in money and weapons into the conflict, is directly responsible for the murder of Ukrainians as well as bringing the world to the brink of WW III. Corruption in NATO and the West in general is involved as well.

We are told to separate church and state (a lie, God never meant for righteousness to be separated from government), so the church has been negligent in voting and seeing that the best righteous candidates are put in position of leadership. Righteous leaders and judges will uphold the rule of law and the freedoms of the Bill of Rights and natural law … the church overall has been negligent to consider that important and so instead globalists, satanists, securlarists, modernists, and atheists, are placed, with the aid of voter fraud, into positions of power. There they vote in and codify laws contrary to the laws of God.

They begin by appealing to the sin and flesh and fallen nature of man. Satan knows how to move into an individual, and ultimately, nation’s life. They started by making it convenient for those who wanted to commit adultery and fornication and then remove the product of pregnancy by calling it a “woman’s right to health”. By doing that, they fed the flesh that wanted to disobey God, people went along to get along, and that opened the door to satan for demons to have more sway over geographic areas. Disobedience to God on earth it is not a netural thing, it actively gives up spiritual and natural territory to demons. There is an “if … then” connection in scripture..

Even Paul, if you will look through the epistles, DID NOT say that because of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ that it was okay to live in sin or open the door to sin. God forbid. There are still consequences and the soul that sins will die in some way. King David, a great king, was forgiven, but still lived with the consequences of what he had done. That theme resonates throughout the Bible and if we take time to sit down and think about it, we will see where it resonates or has happened in our own lives as well.

Psalm 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

 

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

 

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

When nationally we open the door to sin, we nationally give place to the devil who then infests the cities with demons inspiring works of darkness. This is why the cities that are more anti-God to start with have the degradation in a greater way than the geographical areas which are considered to be the “Bible belt”.

That’s not to say that there are not problems in the “Bible belt”. It’s just that those areas that codify laws against God faster than other parts of the country, or who have more unrighteous judges who rule against the laws of God, (and becomes anti-human, anti-nuclear-family, anti-God’s-creation-male-and-female, anti-God’s food versus manufactured food, anti-human life, anti-private property rights, anti-sound money, anti-righteousness, anti-work-for-living instead of socialism) when a nation begins to defy the laws of God, it opens the door to satan. It does not enter some kind of neutral state. Either the rulership is under the Lord Jesus Christ or it is under the god of this world, satan.

Every time Archbishop Vigano talks about this subject he makes it very clear.

Repost from TheGatewayPundit re: Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s Contribution to the Instant Book “Globalisti Assassini”: OMNIS POTESTAS A DEO

Some of the church has backed itself into a corner in a way that makes it difficult to pray for revival. On the one hand, some of the church tries to stay out of politics. That means it can’t speak against Ukraine and the neo-nazis that the Russians are fighting in Ukraine.  Yes, the Russians are fighting the neo-nazis.  The Nazis were the ones with the concentration camps for Jews in WWII.  Yet in today’s church world, it can exist that a church is pro-Israel and pro-Ukraine at the same time while also praying for revival.  These are some mixed up directions due to the fake news not actually explaining Ukraine in reality.

And actually, due to eschatology, there might be those who join the “Russia, Russia, Russia” bandwagon not realizing that the main reason the world has not been blown up in WW III is due to the great restraint and temperance of Russia. It is NOT due to what is coming out of Washington, D.C. with its reckless agendas.

If church gets on an anti-Russia roll for whatever reason, it is siding with the murders of the Ukrainians and it is siding with the neo-Nazis. You will not know this if your news source is CNN and the like of the fake news.

In short, how can the church expect revival when in certain ways it backs the agenda of the enemy of God?

It is like where James says it is talking out of both sides of the mouth. It is praying for revival while backing murder.

Maybe no one thinks about it like that, but consider that.

These things cannot be and I doubt there will be serious revival without serious examination of some of these issues.

This is not the only issue and it is not true of everyone, of course, there are pockets of more awakened churches and Christians.

But there is a tipping point of righteousness versus unrighteousness, and what will prevail in a nation.  Even if we personally don’t subscribe to something, we live in a fallen nation that was once Christian and has fallen away.  In the Bible, there are judgements on nations and individuals that backslide and fall away.  As the scripture in Ezekiel below indicates, if the son, or we could say later historical generations, turn away from the righteousness of the father, or we could say Founding Fathers, Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution, if later generations, meaning us, turn away, then there is a price to pay.

Probably the most awake leader in the world is Archbiship Vigano. His comments always are enlightening on the relationship between the struggle between Christ, antiChrist, the globalists, the church, and society.

But if we are praying for a national awakening, then there needs to be more than a few pockets of awakened people and churches.

We need to understand how we fight our own selves by attempting to go two directions at once. We call out to God for revival…but at the same time we pay subscriptions certain channels and companies to watch witchcraft in children’s cartoons. We call out to God for revival…but at the same time we permit a war that murders Ukrainians and we maybe even vote for the politicians that vote for the war.

We can’t expect the best of the results if we are double-minded in these things and similar agendas. Abortion would be another one. We can’t pray for revival and back abortion.

It sounds silly to put it that way, but if we step back and see where are we, the church, as going in two contradictory directions, it might help to step back and change ways.

Ezekiel 18 talks about the consequences of sin. We talk about the Founding Fathers and how the United States was created a Christian nation. And there are documents within the founding documents of the nation that there were Christians who came here to extend the kingdom of God. But that is no longer the national purpose and as Ezekiel points out, if there is a turning away from righteousness, there are consequences.

Some of the church has backed itself into a corner.  There may be talk and prayer for revival without giving enough time to the necessity of righteousness in politics. What is done in the governmental corner opens the door to either the influence of God or satan in a nation. And if we want to pretend that it is all prayer without any righteous actions on our parts, there will be less than satisfactory results.

When Jesus came the first time he came as the Lamb of God.  He did not deal with governments at that time.  But in his Second Coming he will deal with the governments of the world.  And that is beginning already.

Ezekiel 18:1 The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,

2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?

3 As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.

4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

5 But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,

6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,

7 And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;

8 He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,

9 Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God.

10 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,

11 And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife,

12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,

13 Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,

15 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour’s wife,

16 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,

17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.

18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.

19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.

20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?

26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.

27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?

30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.

31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

In the scripture from Daniel below, in this part of a much longer vision, a stone hits the feet of iron and clay.  The iron is the remnant of Roman civilization and the clay which would be the illegal invasions into Europe and the United States.  The two cultures, those coming in from illegal invasions and the remnant citizens of formerly Christian nations, are not mixing.  But in the end, the stone will fill the whole earth.  The kingdom of God will take over the political scene of the world.

Different people read this different ways, but the whole chapter up to that point is about physical kingdoms and to switch and say this is spiritual only and does not include actual physical nations and governments is to arbitrarily, in my opinion, change a type or shadow midstream for a more convenient interpretation.

By giving it a spiritual interpretation, it gives a person or church or nation a way out of the necessary work of dealing with politics on this earth.  If there is a natural, physical interpretation instead of a spiritual one only, then the only “on this earth” conclusion is that…yes… we must vote, we must seek to clean up our governments, we must seek to clean up the schools, etc.  We can’t ignore the natural in favor of the spiritual only.

“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

Throughout scripture men and women prayed that, but they also acted to bring it to pass.

Daniel 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
