The Two-Headed Devil

I’ve long known that the fear of God is the main ingredient missing in the modern ‘Christian’ Gospel. In fact I’ve preached more times than I can remember that the biggest problem in this nation is a lack of faith in God, a lack of the knowledge of God, and a lack of the fear of God. There is absolutely no question that the soft traditions and doctrines of modern Christianity effectively eliminate the fear of God from the hearts of those who profess the religion. I’ve also long realized that the reason for this is that Christianity by and large today wants to talk about nothing but its squishy version of the love of God, while the reality of the judgment of God has been totally neglected; and that because of the enormous man-pleasing spirit that the religion embodies today. Something opened up to me in the Spirit last night that gave me further insight into this crippling spiritual malady that bedevils the body of Christ almost universally. When the Lord reveals truth, it is always something that you can look at and say, “Wow! That was right in front of me the whole time!” What I saw was this: When the society we live in allows mass brutal murder of the most defenseless human beings in existence, meaning unborn and nearly born children; and there is not only no judgment against it by the “powers that be,” but rather the “powers that be” actually support it; HOW IS ANYONE GOING TO LEARN TO FEAR THE JUDGMENT OF GOD??!! You see, nobody has reason to fear their earthly authorities for the most excuseless and most treacherous of crimes against humanity, so why would they bother to fear God about anything? The same is true with homosexuality. It is the fully bloomed blossom of sin, and it is an abomination to God. In fact the scripture clearly says that homosexuality itself is a JUDGMENT of God for man’s full rejection of his authority for their good (Rom. 1:21-27). Go ahead, read the referenced verses. That is exactly what’s there. You say you don’t believe the scriptures? Then why are you reading this post? You can always go get yourself a nice, cozy romance novel and live in a fantasy world, and wait for the wrath of God to come upon you when you least expect. Not only are homosexuals not in the closet these days, but they are trying to get their perverse 'lifestyle’ imposed on everyone around them, in the guise of 'tolerance.’ Tolerance is a big, fat, nasty lie. It’s nothing but the way that lewdness and perverseness fights for equal rights with normalcy and decency. It’s nothing but distortion and abnormality to say that it’s just as right and normal as that which is obviously right and normal. Like I said, it’s a lie, and equal rights is not what the devil really wants anyway. That’s a guise too because what he’s really after is to gain control of the world and subdue it in utter wickedness, which is foretold in the scriptures and on its way right now (Mat. 24:12; Dan. 8:23; II Thess. 2:7-12). Did I forget to mention that homosexuality garnered the death penalty under God’s perfect, holy law? (Lev. 20:13; Psm. 19:7). So again, if people can not only practice openly and proudly that which is abhorred and judged guilty by God, but crusade for it openly as well, how is anyone going to learn to fear God?

The government of the nation is both a gift of God, and ordained by God, and that to be a 'terror’ to those who do evil. Not only so, but they are “the ministers of God” to execute wrath upon those who do wickedly (Rom. 13:1-5). Again I say, read the referenced verses. That’s exactly what is there. If the government that is ordained by God to bring serious judgment against evil works, fails to do so, and also fervently SUPPORTS wickedness; then we have a very serious problem. NOBODY other than some of those who are desperately seeking God’s face ever learn to fear God, and that failure has always been the downfall of all mankind. You want to know what else happens in that scenario? Listen to this: “When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase” (Prov. 28:28). What that means is when wickedness is allowed to rise to such an openly proud and fearless state, the righteous begin to hide away for the threat of being exterminated. Here is another dilemma that is a present reality that exists with all of this: “The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted” (Psm. 12:8). Need an interpreter? I don’t think so. But I’m not quite done with abortion, seeing it is the most evil of the two headliner sins that are so prevalent and openly supported in our society. You say you want to make an argument for “pro-choice?” Okay, but first of all let’s call it what it is: It is quite plainly pro-murder, and that of the most innocent of humans. When a ship is sinking, women and children are the first in the lifeboats. When there is mortal conflict and combat among men, women and children are behind all lines of defense. And the list goes on, but you get it, and there’s something to this. That something is order, normalcy and decency; meaning that the strongest protect the weakest, which does make perfect sense you know. Ever watch nature shows? I do, and I love it when the biggest, baddest elephants surround those precious little elephant calves from the approaching lion prides. No meals today lions, you know what I mean? I love it, and I know that yo do too. So how is it that everything in the earth that has ever existed teaches us that the biggest and the strongest always protect the weakest and most innocent? It’s because it’s ordained of the creator to be that way, and it makes a heck of a lot of sense, like everything else about God. Oh yeah, I might add that everyone on earth has heavenly 'supermen’ protecting them from the time they are born. Without that protection Satan would have murdered every child ever born on the spot, and in fact would have murdered its parents before they could have conceived the child. That protection continues to whatever extent we demonstrate to God that we want to be under his protection. If we just violently oppose Jesus being our protector and provider, then it will be withdrawn by degrees unless we repent. Satan is first and foremost a murderer, and that is his greatest pleasure (Jn. 8:10,44; :I Jn. 3:12; Rev. 12:1-4).

You can do the same math for homosexuality and easily find it to be a very faulty equation. One plus one equals two, not seventeen. But tell me, what is it about abortion that is not just plain old murder? There is nothing and we all know it. If you even attempt to say otherwise, I declare you here and now by God’s Spirit which is in me, to be a liar and a murderer. Not only so, but anyone who does or supports these evil works, and any others like them, will burn forever in a deep pit of burning sulphur with the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:40,41; Rev. 21:8). How’s that for judgment? I’ve always preached the judgment and wrath of God right alongside the unfathomable grace, tender mercy, and longsuffering of God; and will continue to do so for as long as I am here, like it or not; kill me or not. You simply cannot have one without the other, for they are both ever-present realities. There is nothing left for those who reject mercy till the end, but judgment and wrath for their insolence, defiance, and utter stupidity. My aim is to one day be in that 'great meeting in the air,’ and I won’t lose out on that glorious hope for the sake of being in favor with those who pursue death, judgment, and wrath. Not only so, but I will also continue as I have long done, to pray that ALL MEN, including the homosexuals and all who partake in abortion in any way; will repent of their sins and be forgiven as I have, and join me and the millions of others who will rejoice so loudly and gladly on that day. And don’t bother trying to condemn me for condemning the devil and his slippery, slimy works and his ways of getting them accomplished among men. I already know myself far too well, and I already know that my God and my Judge knows me far too well, to possibly be intimidated by any such weak attempt to confuse me from my path. So what’s the bottom line? “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” (I Tim. 2:1-3). And this: “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, BUT RATHER REPROVE THEM” (Eph. 5:11). Oh yeah, and I might add to these passages; AND AMP IT UP!! Why? Because wrath is against this nation for its high-minded defiance and hatred of the Son of God who suffered and died brutally in our stead, that all men could be redeemed from the grip of Satan, and from the perverse and wicked devices that he has perpetrated in the earth. Amen.
