HOW DID WE GET HERE

How Did We Get Here

All around us in our nation, homes, streets, and every facet of society there are reports, headlines and actions of men showing just how far we have fallen.  Things are happening so fast in the election that it is seemingly impossible to keep up with it all.  The church, its leadership and voices of the church are swept up in it as well.  Everyone has their devoted opinion and offer their insight on it.  but I haven't heard a prophetic word yet from among them.  And watching all this is so alarming at what's coming and what's happening.  and the worst to me, is that it happened on my (our) watch.  Although we are all responsible, I believe it comes down to the personal accountability of the day.  And so we are left to answer for this 'progression of evil', 'How Did We Get Here'.

II Chronicles 34:15 - 16, "And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by His messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because He had compassion on His people, and on His dwelling place:  v. 16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His Words, and misused His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, til there was no remedy."

I hate this phrase, 'til there was no remedy'.  it has always haunted me that this was what we was coming too.  and I  have been driven to make sure it doesn't happen.  And now we see it happening right in front of us.  This progression of evil in our land is at a tipping point of full out upheaval, vile happenings and evil atrocities.  How did we get here?  How did this happen?

Well it has not happened over night.  But it has been a progressive onslaught of evil.  At some points it may even seemed to be an avalanche of evil and sin.  But due to the erosion of the churches priorities and pursuits of God, due to the vacum created in most our society, it has been filled with evil and sin.  Let us examine the status of the church and then its impact on our nations downward spiral.

The first overall understanding of our nation legalizing sin goes as follows:
1933 - overturning of prohibition;  abuse of alcohol in our nation is staggering for drunkenness and lewdness;  drunk driver deaths; health applications also are factors that go into this;
1963 - little Jezebel, Madalyne Murray O'Hare from Baltimore, wins the ruling of church and state separation that the Bible was not to be read during school hours;  This has mushroomed into no prayer, no allowance of speaking about faith or use of Jesus Christ.  Broaden to include Christmas, manger scenes in public squares, crosses, etc.
1973 - Roe vs. Wade - and now over 40 years later - 60 million babies have been killed;  there blood cries out from the earth, 'How long Lord before You require our blood at their hands?'
2013 - marriage according to Bible, traditional marriage, marriage defined by humanity for centuries, simply swept away to allow homosexuality as acceptable;

What a progression!  the pits of hell have opened and there is no retreat from the affects of this.  And this is what we are reaping in our society of broken homes, broken lives, broken nation, and broken church.  The church's voice throughout all this was unquestionably silent and had no authority to speak and shut this down.  The lesson that I have observed and learned in these things as a history student, is that once you open that door, shutting it is next to impossible.  Only by a Sovereign act of God could these evils be undone.

also to be observed over the decades of the church's allowance of this progressive of evil is the fact she turned inward and did not have her eyes on these activities.  She was completely, to my understanding still so, unaware of the repercussions that was and is to be reaped for the allowance for these things.  she fought within herself over doctrines, power struggles, separation from those not 'like' minded of other denominations, and busy with own agendas, while Rome burned.  These self inward lookings and musings are nothing but distractions from Satan, he kept the church busy with itself while he 'masterfully' advanced his position.  It may be like a general sitting down wanting to negotiate peace with his enemy, all the while the general was orchestrating his army to advance against the enemy.

spiritual disicplines in the church collapsed and was replaced with emotional, self-seeking, pleasures to entertain.  We lost the 'old paths' that Jeremiah speaks of.  We forgot the pillars of the church to maintain 'faith with works' for the advancement of Christian maturity and taking the ground from Satan.  bibles have been neglected, set on the shelf not to be read or studied.  Prayer destracted to the remnant and the house of prayer has become houses of merchandise again.  Witnessing was lost, and evangelism was redefined as only for pastors and church leaders.

I believe the witnessing loss  was due to two reasons.
1.  real salvation has been lost over the decades in the church;  they bear no real testimony of a tranformed life and new creation in Christ Jesus.  gone are the days of 'godly sorrow unto repentance'.
2.  Church state separation took over in the mind set and it became acceptable to be silent.  'We're still growing, we're still thriving, we don't need to take the light out into the darkness any more'.  visitation nights were removed and cut; door to door rarely happens; and too many have spent months and years in silence, never sharing their faith.   Their silence has become a way of life.

With the church pillaged, eroding, self consumed, Satan had no enemy to withstand him.  And he has maticulusly taken home by home, soul by soul, area by area.  Sweeping in the tech age into time, minds, TV's, internet etc. to fill with world, lusts, evil and self.  and with more and more of the world, filtrating into the church, it sank and suddenly was 'carnal'.

the few small voices that saw this, understood what was happening, fought and beckoned for revival, return, and renewal.  but the damage was done and it has built and built ready, as a volcano, to go to full eruption, that literally provokes God to end us as He did to Egypt, to Sodom and Gomorah, to Rome, to the earth during the time of Noah.  There has been spikes in the church to seek to save a nation before this, yet, I feel, it was substandard, and was never continued in fervency, or urgency.  And as our way of life has become, interest is lost, and invested into other areas.

Judgement
When the church erodes as it has, and the nation is filled with evil, God is not absent.  He sees and knows these things and moves to respond.  He sends judgments on the nation, on the church to move them to seek and return to Him.  When it is done feignedly, it is not acceptable to the Lord.  He moves with remedial judgments through multiple areas.  These areas of judgment are in weather, plagues/diseases, wars and terrorism - at home and abroad, calamities, removal of foundations of society and wicked government leaders.

We have seen these judgments ramp up in severity and extent.  The reason for this is that the church has not repented of its high offense.  But they continue in a carnal lifestyle and choices that provoke the Lord to anger.  And if the church doesn't repent and confess, why would a selfish, sinful society repent.

so what we have is a sin ridden church, grieving and quenching the Holy Ghost.  Powerless to change anything that is in motion right now.  A continued broadening and full-steam ahead society bent on self-destruction, void of consequences and future.  and the few who understand this, seem voiceless or direction-less to lead the people rightly back to God and restore that which has been lost.

so here we are.  A nation with no  choices for president.  The fate, as so many in the church are concerned with, for the Supreme Court, legislation and presidential edicts to take us further into evil.  Only provoking the Lord to more wrath and judgment due to the inability to change our ways.

What must be done?
Regardless of who wins the election, the following must be done:
1.  Ownership by the church;  we did this; we allowed this; we have brought our nation and families to this point of destruction.   
2.  Confession; No more of this flimsy, weak attempt of owning up to confession of sin generalized sin.  There must be a full understanding of just where and how often we have sinned according to that which the Lord has pronounced in Scripture. 
3.  Repentance:  a sincere, true attempt to remove all these things from the church's midst and restore right relationship and worship of the Lord.
4.  Whatever judgment heightens itself against the church, our families, our very own lives, keep 'looking unto Jesus'.  I am not convinced that the Lord is not getting ready to bring a wave of persecution upon the church in North America.  This is a purging process I believe.  This will root out the false converts that we have lined our numbers and pews with.  A restoration to the true bride.

THE DAY

The Day

There is this little phrase, that keeps popping up to me in my Bible readings.  I have done other word/phrase studies regarding 'day', titled, 'In That Day'.  and it is pretty much the same meaning and emphasis for us to consider in our own personal walk, as well as seeing and understanding how God worked in other saints.  For if the Lord did here in the Holy Word, then He will do it for us as well.

But this phrase laced throughout Scripture is pointing us to examine, ask and answer the question, 'what about this day?'  What is going to happen today?  What is possible this day?  Is it a day of goodness, or a day of evil?  A day of holiness, or a day of sin? what do you want to do today? What to you need to do today?  So as the verses, the phrase jumped off the page reading through the Scriptures, I feel I must share what the Spirit is saying and pointing out to me.  May it enrich your meditation and give us eyes to see for 'this day'.  

I Samuel

In I Samuel there are over 100 times, 'day' is used.  Not all of these are pointed to our study.  But this was definitely the pivotal place that God started revealing this phrase study to me.  

 Chapter 1






Chapter 16
16:13, "Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren:  and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.  So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah."
--Spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day forward;  What a testimony!  What a life changing moment!  There is a book written of 20 short biographies, 'They Found the Secret'; and it covers their testimony when the Spirit of the Lord came upon them from that day forward.  What a blessing to read of the consistency of God upon His people.  Imparting that which is so needed today, the filling of the Holy Ghost.  we read throughout Acts, 'and they were filled with the Holy Ghost', and it is still the need for our day to advance our Lord's kingdom.

Have you been filled?  Do you mark the day that the Spirit came upon you?  Are you able to say, 'everything changed that day'?   

17:10 "And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together."
--Goliath is clamoring for someone to fight.  He is provoking to get them to be mad enough to come out and fight him.  We look at his actions of what is happening 'this day'.  He is defying the Lord God 'this day'.

Are not the enemies of our Lord defying Him each day?  But we cannot change yesterday, and tomorrow is not come; so what will we say about this day?  They, the enemies of our Lord, get up each day and look for the way in which they may defy Him.  They defy Him in their actions, their language, their choices, their lifestyles. 

17:46  "This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel."
--two time in this verse David declares, 'this day' is the death of your death;  and God will be shown to all that He is God in Israel.
Goliath and the Philistines are the workers of evil.  The Lord God and the children of Israel stand for good.  and in between lies the battle of all the ages.  Goliath seemingly unstoppable, pulverizing, giant vs. a ruddy, youth David.  What change does this boy have against a seasoned solider?  Ah, the deciding factor is the Lord God.  And 'this day' that shall be demonstrated for His glory.
--1.  This day the Lord will deliver the enemies into our hands.  This is our focus as each day we  being, we know the certainity that our enemy will come.  He comes in so many ways.  Ways that are recogniziable, 'we are not ignorant of his devices'; and he comes in ways that are hidden and unrevealed til its too late.  Oh, for eyes to see and be aware, that 'evil is near'.  In the book of Judges, there is that verse, 'they knew not that evil was near them'.  And when we are distracted, unaware and not paying attention, forgetting that this warfare knows nothing of reprieve, vacations or time off, may we remember, 'this day' the Lord will deliver our enemy into our hand.
--2.  'this day' David will slay and give Goliath to the birds and beasts for supper;  With that promise from the Lord that 'this day' the enemy will be defeated and giving to destruction.  May that be a constant victory and praise to the Lord, 'this day' I fed the enemy to destruction.  Turning back his advancements, overcoming in the blood of the Lamb, and keeping self in its proper place of humility, surrender and dependence upon the Lord.
