Historically, when God\u2019s people have been stressed by chaos and calamity (wars, natural disasters, and other catastrophes) in the secular realm, we have had our churches to turn to.\u00a0 Presently, we are facing major chaos in both the secular and religious realms.\u00a0 Christianity is in chaos with widespread acceptance by its leadership of New Age paganism in the form of contemplative spirituality, the rejection of biblical doctrines essential to true Christianity, a strong movement to merge Protestantism with Roman Catholicism, numerous other heresies. \u00a0I must stress here that not one of the heresies appears to be a grassroots initiative.\u00a0 In fact, many professing Christians are ignoring these evil intrusions into Christianity.\u00a0 Other ones are completely unaware of the degradation.\u00a0 As a result of apathy and willful ignorance, the Christian realm appears to be degrading at the same pace as the secular realm.\u00a0 The situation has gotten so ominous that some of the leaders of major evangelical denominations appear to be satanic moles.\u00a0 They appear to be deceived to the point of delusion.\u00a0 The question is, where are true Christians going to turn for encouragement and hope as the secular and Christian realm becomes increasingly corrupt?<\/p>\n
Before I answer that question, please allow me to present some essential information.\u00a0 First, one sociologist concluded from research that society can only endure so much before it submits to the source of the pressure in an attempt to alleviate it.\u00a0 In my opinion, the American society is on the verge of submitting. \u00a0I believe that is the goal of the ones who are creating all the disturbances in the religious and secular realms.\u00a0 They are wittingly or unwittingly assisting the culmination of Satan\u2019s plan to procure, by hook or by crook, the world as his sovereign kingdom.\u00a0 They are the Chaos Makers.\u00a0 The Chaos Makers are like puppets in the hands of the controlling power moguls.\u00a0 They worm their way into positions of influence and create disruption, which leads to anxiety, which eventually results in submission. Dancing to the satanic song of chaos, they are thrilled with the sound of complaining.\u00a0 It incenses them to turn up the pressure.<\/p>\n
Someone said (I cannot remember who), \u201cThis Chaos is being orchestrated; the collapse of our economy, the degeneration of our morality, the environmental movement, the dissolving of religious foundations, the weakening of family ties and even global warming, are being orchestrated and used to bring the America to its knees so that we willingly accept the solutions of those in power. Of course these solutions will only place more power and control in the hands of those causing the chaos.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n They perpetrators of chaos will not back off because it is counterproductive to their goal of \u201cdivide and conquer\u201d.\u00a0 When they hear the people moaning under the stress, they press the pedal to the floor, ala, Saul Alinsky, and go in for the kill.\u00a0 It does not matter to them if they are proven wrong, or are caught in a faux pas<\/i>.\u00a0 They will lie and doublespeak to cause more outrage and stress.\u00a0 This is a battle.\u00a0 Therefore, we should not expect the enemy to back off and apologize when we groan and accuse him of landing a dirty blow.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n Most Americans cannot be awakened to the clever schemes operating behind the volatile changes in our secular society.\u00a0 Their minds have been completely taken over by the charismatic leaders and their mesmerizing verbiage.\u00a0 Likewise, many professing Christians do not have a clue about the sinister activities in Christianity.\u00a0 Christian leaders have taken a page from the political handbook or their PR people. When confronted with their errors, they spin, doublespeak, and wiggle way like an eel.\u00a0 Professing Christians are in denial that have depended on a few people for information and guidance.\u00a0 They have been cheated and don\u2019t know it.\u00a0 The fact is that secular and religious societies have been dumbed down until only a few know what is happening.\u00a0 The rest dwell in the blissful ignorance of wildebeest moments away from becoming a feast for a pride of lions.<\/p>\n Now for the answer to where true Christians can to turn for encouragement and hope as the secular and Christian realm becomes increasingly corrupt.\u00a0 It is a simple answer and most people know what it is.\u00a0 We have to turn our hearts and minds more toward God and away from this temporal realm.\u00a0 It is easy to get caught up in politics, in listening to an endless stream of talk radio, watching hours of Fox news.\u00a0 But does any of that investment of time make us stronger?\u00a0 Do we actually discover some piece of essential information that will help us deal with the stress of this dark period?\u00a0 Remember that our enemy depends on us becoming stressed to the limit and beyond.\u00a0 It is essential to his plan that we all become so burdened down with the chaos, that our senses are hammered with outrage after outrage, until we become despondent.\u00a0 If this is the last days, then we cannot do anything to stop the decadence of the temporal realm.<\/p>\n I do not spend all this enormous amount of time and effort trying to start a revolution against the ones who are desecrating our nation and Christianity.\u00a0 \u00a0Instead, I am attempt to alert people so that they can be prepared.\u00a0 An essential part of the preparation process is to make certain that we have enough \u201coil\u201d.\u00a0 We are not going to get \u201coil\u201d from Fox News or the talk shows.\u00a0 We can only get it by prayer, feasting on God\u2019s word, and devoting ourselves more and more to His perfect will.\u00a0 In my opinion, our nation and Christianity is too far gone to restore.\u00a0 I firmly believe that the next phase of the chaos will include persecution of Christians in this nation.\u00a0 The great majority of professing Christians are completely unprepared to face harsh times.\u00a0 They have been lured into fighting hopeless battles with inadequate weapons in the enemy\u2019s territory.\u00a0 They have become fodder for the chaos makers.\u00a0 Christ and the apostle Paul gave us the answer if we will heed it.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
