I CREATE EVIL

"I Create Evil"

June, 2013 - in dealing with the ruling of the Supreme Court on same sex marriage and its possible allowance of legalizing that which God has called an abomination;

"I form the light, and create darkness:  I make peace, and create evil:  I the Lord do all these things."  Isaiah 45:7

What is happening?
What is going on in this world?
How did we get here?

All these are questions that I have posed time and time again for our needed contemplation and the need to answer.  It is no mystery how we got here to this day and time.  Where is here?  Here is there.  And lest you think I am sounding to much like a Dr. Seuss book, 'there' is where God said we would be if we forsook Him; if we forsook the Lord God Almighty which He is the good and right way of life.  'There' is our place today, even 'here'.  Here is where by some quick, fast paced, slight of hand, seeming like a political agenda, yet, in reality, a hellish device of Satan to bring us forth to such evil that he knows God will respond.  And when God looked for an answer to this work of hell to bring forth wickedness into the land as 'acceptable', He did not find His people 'fighting the good fight of faith'.  Thus, here we are, upon the threshold of a decision to bring forth the legalizing of same sex marriage in the United States.  A nation founded upon the Bible, God's foundation of Christianity, having seen scores of God's power and glory in Great Awakenings, and revivals, blessed beyond any other nation.  And now, these almost seemingly prophetic words from God, due to our rejectiong and forsaking of Him and His Word and ways, 'Behold, I create evil'.

How is it that a land, filled with Christian churches, supposed Christian heritage has come to the place that courts, exectuivve offices, and state legislations would ever consider legalizing sin.  Simply because it feels good, or seems right does not remove the reality, 'the wages of sin is death'.  The legalizing of alcohol in 1933 - we will not know how many deaths due to its effects until we get to heaven, but enough that we know it has costs much money, health, abuse and death in many a home for over 70 years.  The legalizing of abortion in 1973 - estimating that over 55 million and continuing to rise each day; for the death of an entire generation in these last 40 years.  And now, probably one of the greatest legalizing of sin is the allowance, permission and stamp of approval by the Supreme Court for the abomination of homosexualtiy in our land - and it will not be the death of 1,000's or 10,000's or even millions, it will be the death of a nation.

Growing up, just a few decades ago, two decades to be exact, 20 years ago from teenage years to adulthood, never would have dreamed that this day would be upon us.  But over these last two decades, all the signs and symptoms of a falling nation and a failing church had begun to show us the writing on the wall. 

--Prayer meetings being removed.  Wednesday night gatherings in churches, called Bible study and prayer meeting, boiled down to little or no prayer.  Especially no prayer to fight the good fight or advance our Lord's kingdom here on earth.  Praying for the temporal, the sick, the carnal, basic needs and neglecting the souls, future and advance of God's glory here on earth. 
--The absence of the Word of God.  Historically, always in our society, but removed from public school in 1963 by one little, contrary woman. 
--silence by the church in effective evangelism and soul winning; Ashamed, powerless, and refusing to share our faith with others for the saving of the soul.  Many, in the first 6 months of this year, cannot say that any one has approached them about their faith and eternity.  And many Christians would sadly, grievously confess that in 6 months they have not said one word to their family, friends, neighbors, school mates, or co-workers either about their eternity. 

Thus, the results of this is upon us:  we have forsaken God.  Now, the stirring of all these situations upon us has moved a remnant to pray and cry out.  Praise the Lord for all those that see and understand this great need of prevailing prayer.  And it may be tomorrow that a miracle occurs, and the Supreme Court ruling is in answer to our prayers that marriage is one man and one woman and states do not have a right to dictate to Bible believing Christians or others to accept abominations.  God is able to do 'great and mighty things, abundantly above all that we ask or think'.  God is able in the darkness that we see and are living, here and now, to bring forth real revival that impacts this generation.  God is God; and He can and will do what is right; He cannot sin, He cannot fail, He cannot go against His holy nature and bless sin in a person, family, church, or nation.

Thus, 'I create light and darkness; I make peace and create evil'.  So much has happened so quickly over the last two years in the advancement of evil in our nation.  And as this evil has grown in homes, public, and lives, Christianity has withdrawn, shrunken and lessened.  It is the demosntration of this truth in Isaiah coming to pass.  God is light, and in Him, His light shines forth to those in darkness and sin.  Those in sin, in darkness so often reject the Light and remain in it.  God exists and remains whether there is light or darkness.  He created light out of darkness, but He still existed in the darkness.  And the same is more true for the last half of this verse in relationship to this truth.  There is a time of peace, serenity and bliss; but if God is not in it, then chaos, wickedness and evil are permitted, allowed and created.  God allows for men to reap what they have sown.  This is demonstrated over and over in God's response to His Own children, the children of Israel.  It is documented in every society, nation, kingdom and people.  That when they embraced sin and forgot the God Who created them and has instructed them in the 'good and right way', they quickly came to their own demise.  They end up like the descendants of Cain.  But those that fear the Lord, honor the Lord, follow the Lord find light, find peace, find His preserving hand to protect, guide and lead. 

Thus, in a nation that has rejected His glorious light, His glorious ways, His glorious Word; He has permitted, allowed for our legalizing of sin to usher in the advancement of hell itself, in evil.  Why would God do this?  It is not His desire for this to be, but He knows the waywardness, and the turning of our hearts away from Him.  'Straight is the gate and narrow is the way, and few there be that find it';  few are coming out of the darkness into the Light of His love, grace and mercy.  But many are they that love sin, darkness and evil.  And as they have increased in this land, they have brought us to this place, 'here', where God now permits for us to literally destroy ourselves by provoking Him to wrath against the legalizing of such sins. 

I have already written the warning if they legalize this sin.  I have already called for the church to pray (over a year ago, when the circuit court overturneed the voters of California); and wrote a prayer guide for help ( 5 months ago).  I have surrendered it to the Lord and asked for His perfect will to be done, here on earth as it is in heaven.  'Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'  Certainly He shall and will.  And as Abraham prayed for Lot to be spared and saved;  you and I had better get before the Lord and pray the same for our loved ones, lest they be consumed in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (present day United States of America).  Remember, becasue of Abraham's intercession only Lot and his family was escorted out before the fire fell. 

Woe unto a land, a people, a government that issues the foolishness of saying evil is good; and good is evil.  Woe unto a place that puts its stamp of approval on legalizing of sin and thinking that God will not repsond nor answer such folly.  Woe unto supposed, learned and knowledgable men that have not learned from history and dooms the future they say they are protecting by their foolish rulings.
