I’ve often thought about the defiance found in the lost. Especially in these times. People seem to promote and celebrate all types of defiance, even bringing large swathes of believers into this open defiance to God…shackled to a perversion of the Word…
Judge not, lest you be judged…has been used as a ramrod to shove an evil and godless agenda.
Love your neighbor as yourself…has been perverted by the evil to shove darkness down the throats of the righteous.
This must stop.
The church should be steeped in discernment. We should see through the lies and into the eyes of Truth.
As with any act of defiance, this has been developing and establishing over many years. We see it particularly right now being exposed in the hip hop celebrity world. As decades of a certain hip hop moguls ills are being played out in the public eye. Manipulation and deceit. Blackmail and coercion. It’s bad. But it’s not surprising and a lot of people have known about it for a long time and have been scared to expose it.
Back in 2020 God told me that He was moving into a season of exposing, and that I was not to be afraid of how bad it is.
Never in my imagination did I dream it would still be happening, but what’s been hidden under years of lies and deceit, takes time to draw out. The root system is large. Larger than I ever knew. But I know so little, it’s not surprising.
The same root that holds the hip hop shame, is connected to the root system that’s exposing one pastors sexual sins after another. As it’s pulled out from the earth it’s pulling up more shocking perpetrators.
But this is so good.
How can we change without knowing we have a problem? How can we move forward, if we are still shackled to the lies of the past?
The wicked were allowed to live their lies for so long that they became arrogant and brazen in them. This is what is leading to their exposure and destruction.
Human defiance only enhances Your glory, for You use it as a weapon. Psalm 76:10
This verse will always be true. In our haughtiness we are led to destruction.
The whole American system…from churches, to Hollywood, to music, and politics…it’s all having it’s day of exposure and this means…things can still be changed.
As long as God is exposing it, it gives me hope that His grace can still be found. We simply must take hold of it and receive.
Let’s take time to intercede for America today. Ask God to forgive our many sins and heal our land. Dedicate the land you live on, to the Lord. Then ask Him to anoint the whole of America with His presence and grace. It’s time. The harvest is ripe for the picking. People are desperate for God.
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow Him. Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong on the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7
