This is not an upbeat or much welcomed message for the new year…
However, it is what the Holy Spirit impressed upon my heart today, after a time of prayer.
The world system is beginning to display an increasingly intensifying fury against God. Some people are going wild with rage even seeing a simple “Nativity scene” outside of a public library, or in a park.
Be prepared for a tremendous onslaught of demonic forces to come against the church, especially against the church's leaders, evangelists, and all godly men and women who love Jesus Christ, and who are truly living for Him.
Lying spirits, and spirits of anger and confusion are everywhere these days. Many people want to shove God out of their minds. They are opening themselves up to very strong delusions because of their continued rebellion against the things of God. Many in society take joy in hearing stories about ministers who have taken a “fall” and committed some kind of sin.
A number of godly men and women are also being accused of things that are not even true. The public is being programmed to see evil in God's anointed ministers and their motives. The specter of open persecution is becoming more of a reality.
Today's Christian must be spiritually prepared for such things, and for this kind of spiritual climate. Open persecution has been going on in other nations for many years.
Now, even American missionaries are dying on foreign fields for sharing the gospel, and for demonstrating the love of Jesus. Do not think that such persecution cannot happen here on the shores of the United States (2 Timothy 3:12).
