When our enemies become strong

We can know as a people or nation when we as a whole are FORSAKING God. What are the signs? When you read biblical history, when the enemies of God's people become strong, it is God who is raising them up to judge His people. If we even get to 2012 elections, God's people are attempting out of their own strength and flesh to remedy their own internal problems based on an elected leader.


We are no different from the saints of the Old Testament. Instead of getting on our knees to repent and to seek God to lead us, we continue as a nation to seek some leader out to rescue us. Just as the Jews did not want God to rule them but wanted a king to rule over them as other nations. Is it our human nature not wanting to be ruled by God because perhaps we think He is too harsh?

1 Samuel 8:5-7 (AMP) And said to him, Behold, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint us a king to rule over us like all the other nations. 6But it displeased Samuel when they said, Give us a king to govern us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken to the voice of the people in all they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not be King over them.

America as a nation is attempting to seek a remedy without God from a political party, policy, or a leader(s) to find the solution to the problems we are facing. However, our enemies grow stronger by the days and we become weaker financially and morally. When we will ever learn? It does not matter who we elect, whether democrat or republican, change of leadership in our presidency or policy will not change the direction of this country. God is seeking change in the hearts of His people through repentance. We are heading toward judgement as our enemies are being raised up against His lukewarm church. History is repeating and unfolding before our eyes.

Judges 6:1 BUT THE Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hand of Midian for seven years.

Judges 10:6-7 And the Israelites AGAIN did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, served the Baals, the Ashtaroth [female deities], the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. They forsook the Lord and did not serve Him.7And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites,

Judges 13:1 AND THE Israelites AGAIN did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord gave them into the hands of the Philistines for forty years.

1 Samuel 12:9-10(AMP) But when they forgot the Lord their God, He sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of Hazor's army, and into the hands of the Philistines and of the king of Moab, and they fought those foes. 10And they cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned because we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth; but now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and we will serve You.

Many of us may think we know the Lord and His ways but generation after generation, we have become diluted and watered down. We as a people are forsaking Him as we break His commandments and laws. We have trampled on Grace justifying the work of the cross to continue in our sins instead of abolishing them. He calls this great nation of America, a nation of whores who are cheating on Him. We must humble ourselves and ask the Lord to open our eyes and to awaken us. Many of our churches are serving Baal and Ashtaroth and do not even realize they are deceived. If the Power of God is not present, how do they even know God is present? Let us ask the Lord to shine His light and put His salve into the eyes and ears of our hearts so we may perceive and understand.

Judges 2:10-14 (AMP) And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers, and there arose another generation after them who did not know (recognize, understand) the Lord, or even the work which He had done for Israel. 11And the people of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals.12And they forsook the Lord, the God of their fathers, Who brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods of the peoples round about them and bowed down to them, and provoked the Lord to anger.13And they forsook the Lord and served Baal [the god worshiped by the Canaanites] and the Ashtaroth [female deities such as Ashtoreth and Asherah]. 14So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He gave them into the power of plunderers who robbed them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could no longer stand before their foes.

Jeremiah 50:25 (AMP) The Lord has opened His armory and has brought forth [the nations who unknowingly are] the weapons of His indignation and wrath, for the Lord God of hosts has work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.

Wooden and craven images may not be so defined to us today but we must understand what idols we may have created for ourselves. Could it be our televisions, sports, money, lust, career, businesses, idolizing movie stars, idolizing soap operas, idolizing secular singers, vanity in ourselves, and etc? 

Joshua 24:20(AMP) If you forsake the Lord and [a]serve strange gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after having done you good.

Serving and BELIEVING onto the Lord is not about a head knowledge of Him. It is to follow His commandments and to do HIS Will. Do not be deceived. Ask Him to show you His Truth. Ask HIM to put you in agreement with HIM. May you all be lead to His Truth. I bind His Truth around your necks and hearts. 

Learn and know the Full counsel of God. Know He is God! 

Fire of God!
