The Days are Wicked

February 1, 2021

Hi Everyone,

I hope you have a chance to read my latest posts.  They are important to understand God’s heart regarding the current events of our nation.  God is concerned for all of life, the ups and the downs, the celebrations and the trials.  He knows what we go through on a daily basis.  He knows our thoughts and our ways.  He is good and no matter what lies ahead of us, he will be there to see us through.  This is his promise to us:  “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Today I have three visions to share with you.  The images are quite strong, but the messages he gives are clear.  The Lord wants us to be aware of what is going on in the natural realm, as well as the supernatural realm. 

The Visions

First, I see a woman speaking these words:  “He was able to….”  Suddenly, A man listening nearby, gets up, with gun in hand, shoots her in the face. 

Next, I see a man sitting in a chair,  there is a noise coming from behind him, so he turns around and sees his computer on the table.  He looks startled. I somehow believe that he is worried that someone may have tried to take his computer.

Then, I see President Trump in profile, on a stage speaking to a group of people.  Just to his right, off stage, there was a woman with a very dark face. She wore a sari over her head and draped over her shoulders so that only her face was exposed.  The fabric was of a bold primitive print, dark with oranges and greens.  President Trump was unaware of her presence.  

These three visions I received while praying.  I know they speak of things that have been hidden for sometime, but are now being exposed.  But of course, that is exactly what needs to be done.  We have always prayed, “Whatever is hidden in darkness, be brought into the light.”

The Woman Speaking

In the first vision, the woman was speaking, when suddenly she was stopped by a bullet.  This is the ultimate way of  censoring free speech.  It is alarming to find that the left’s view of rights and free speech is so exceedingly  narrow, that there is no room for debate, or the willingness to listen to another point of view.

I see it everywhere, especially with millennials.  They have been spoon-fed liberal ideas that undermine traditional American values as God and country.  (I am of course speaking in general terms and noticing a trend.)  Patriotism to them is aberrant.  They have a disconnect with our Christian heritage and love of country.  Even my own children, who I home schooled and raised in the church, have picked up on the values and teachings of their peers.  

My youngest finds fault with our nation, because he believes that America was not founded by god-fearing men, but that from its very beginning was and has been evil.  One example he likes to share is how the American government engaged in biological warfare, by giving American Indians blankets infected with smallpox.  This is shockingly evil, and it may or may not be true.  

But I question what are the teachers, and the books that they are using, trying to do to this generation?  Why are they trying to instill a hatred and disrespect for our country?  What nation on earth would plant seeds of disloyalty, distrust and hatred in their children?  Who is it that wants to destroy our national identity?  

Well, I think we know by now.  I give credit to the liberal global elites and their followers who adhere to a socialist agenda.  Those who want no borders, and no national identity, sovereignty or patriotism.  They desire to control everyone, and to create a globalist economy, and a one world governmental system.  These global elites benefit when there is no one to whom they must give account—when there is no God.

If you are at all concerned about how your children and mine leave home believing as you do, and return home with ideas that are diametrically opposed to yours, then you must see how atheistic thought and socialism have overtaken the American schools.

Wikipedia is a good source of finding links, books, and papers written on the topic: Critical Pedagogy     This is an excerpt from that Wikipedia topic:

Critical pedagogy is a philosophy of education and social movement that developed and applied concepts from critical theory and related traditions to the field of education and the study of culture.[1]

It insists that issues of social justice and democracy are not distinct from acts of teaching and learning.[2] The goal of critical pedagogy is emancipation from oppression through an awakening of the critical consciousness, based on the Portuguese term conscientização. When achieved, critical consciousness encourages individuals to effect change in their world through social critique and political action in order to self-actualize.

Critical pedagogy was founded by the Brazilian philosopher and educator Paulo Freire, who promoted it through his 1968 book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. It subsequently spread internationally, developing a particularly strong base in the United States, where proponents sought to develop means of using teaching to combat racism, sexism, and oppression. As it grew, it incorporated elements from fields like the Human rights movement, Civil rights movement, Disability rights movement, Indigenous rights movement, postmodern theory, feminist theory, postcolonial theory, and queer theory.

Critics have argued that it is not appropriate for institutions of higher education to explicitly promote radical political activism among their students. They have suggested that adherents of critical pedagogy have focused on promoting political perspectives in the classroom at the expense of teaching pupils other skills, such as a proficiency in writing.

    

It is the removal of God, the Bible and prayer from schools and the substitution of atheism and socialism that have greatly influenced our children.  As a result they are not able to listen to another viewpoint or debate issues.  They are not able to accept the fact that everyone should have a right to believe and express their own opinions.  They are more apt to attack another person verbally, calling them “racist,” than they are to respectfully listen and converse on a topic. 

Because our children’s educators have elevated this world view to the status of “truth and genuine morality,” they insist that it is the only way. Our children have as a result of this teaching, accepted these ideals and have become true converts.  We see these young people condemning and showing utter disdain for anything that is in conflict with these beliefs.  They consider capitalism, Christianity and limited government as sacrilege.  Therefore, when they become challenged by these traditional values and beliefs, they are prone to fight to defend their ideals of pro choice, feminism, climate control, socialism, globalism, and transgender causes.  Having created a moral compass of their own, they believe that it is perfectly, morally right to force everyone around them to conform to their ideals.  This is the Cancel Culture.  It should be called the “cancer culture,” for it is truly a cancer that destroys.  

This I believe is the reason we are seeing an intolerance, and a demand to condemn or cancel the rights of others.  With this generation being taught by teachers who were indoctrinated with these beliefs, free speech and our other God-given rights may not last much longer.

So this vision that the Lord shows us is so important.  If we are not praying for those in leadership, and for those who have accepted this new morality, as truth, then we will pay the price.  The Lord loves everyone, even those who would rather cancel us, than tolerate us.

A Man and a Computer

In this vision, a man hears a noise and turns to look.  His computer is on the table behind him.  I am aware of his thoughts, that he was concerned that someone might have tried to take his computer.

The idea of someone breaking into a computer to steal personal information is a common concern today.  We see that identity theft is a major problem.  Just the other day my husband caught a transaction that hit the account of the company where he works. This hack would have cost them $64,000.  Fortunately he found it soon enough. Apparently, someone hacked into the cell phone of a staff member, and was able to get passwords and accounts belonging to the company.  We thank the Lord, that my husband was able to halt the transfer of funds. Yet, all the accounts and passwords had to be completely changed.  

The Lord I believe is showing me this vision because both as individuals and as a nation we are at risk. Even now our personal data is being shared with large corporations and foreign governments without our knowledge or our consent.  Our cell phones track our movements throughout the day. Our searches, our contacts, our purchases, and our activities are recorded, creating a personal profile on each of us.  Knowledge is power, and it is for sale, or for the taking. 

We must acknowledge that many leaders in our government and big tech have no intention of protecting the rights of our citizens.  If anything, they are looking for circumstances like the Corona virus to create “emergencies.” that they use to justify taking away the rights of our citizens. Over the last few years we have seen a willingness by Federal agencies  to “bend the rules,” in order to spy on our citizens.  The times are truly wicked, when the average law abiding citizen now falls into a category labeled “domestic terrorist.” And what establishes this fact? Just this: we hold to traditional values and believe that our Constitution was created to protect us from an overly intrusive government and to protect our rights as outlined in the Bill of Rights.

However, as we become more and more dependent on cell phones, the internet and social media, to do business and communicate with others, the less privacy we have. With the help of Big Tech, the government can track us at will, know who are our friends and business associates. They can see by our personal data what are our core beliefs. If we do or say anything that in is conflict this their chose narrative, then they can take measures to silence us. We could be framed for a crime we didn’t commit, suffer financial loss, or lose the ability to work or live as we choose.

If and when we go to digital currency, all banking and transactions will be tracked.  At the click of a button, our funds could be frozen.  Our accounts could be closed, or our money confiscated—just because we are considered a threat to the powers that be.  This is pretty scary.  And  this total control is not only possible, but is currently a reality for those living in China.  If you want to learn more, I can recommend a great conservative source of news featured on You Tube: “China in Focus.” 

Fear

However, Let us not succumb to fear. Fear is a powerful weapon that comes from the devil. It is used to destroy our peace, and create anxiety and distract us. Fear is a tool used by the wicked to control individuals and the population. Our focus needs to be on the Lord, so that in spite of what things appear to be, we are able to discern the truth and have the peace we need to overcome.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6

Pray 

We need to pray for our enemies, and those who would do us harm, because it is the Lord who determines who he will raise up and who he will put down.    

“Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Matthew 5:44     

 “If your enemy is  hungry, feed him.  If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.” Proverbs 25:21

And remember to forgive them, for that is what the Lord did, even for those who nailed him to the cross.  “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

And pray for their salvation, for we are all sinners. “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not is us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:8-9

So we pray for all people, and we choose to live in peace, for this is God’s will: “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with all men.” Romans 12:18

President Trump and a Woman

In this vision, I see President Trump in profile, giving a speech.  He is unaware of a woman standing to his right. Her face is very dark.  She is dressed in a sari that covers her head and shoulders, so that only her face is visible.  The sari was made of fabric with a dark primitive print, with and oranges and greens.  I knew right away that the woman was a demon, and what she represents is witchcraft and everything demonic.  

I believe that what we are experiencing in our nation right now is an increase in demonic activity.  The all out effort to bring President Trump down was not merely the plans of wicked men.  I believe that this effort has been greatly assisted by the devil, for he knows his time is short. 

I believe without a doubt, that we are living in the last days.  Jesus warned us that as we approach the tribulation, there would be an increase in wickedness.  So we should not at all be surprised by the events over these past 5  years.  This increase in wickedness is growing by the day.  Chaos, rebellion, crime, persecution, intolerance, and censorship are all manifestations of this demonic influence.  Of course, people can be wicked of their own accord, however, it is remarkable to see the complex orchestration of wicked events to undermine President Trump’s first term in office. The absolute and highly organized cooperation of entire groups of people in businesses, government, and the media, is altogether something greater than what I believe man can do alone.  Corruption, greed, lawlessness, lying and deceitfulness are all tactics of the devil, we can see his signature on their attempts to remove him from office.

Look at the similarity with Jesus and the Pharisees:

Speaking to the Pharisees, Jesus said:  “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.  He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.  When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”  John 8:44  

This increase in wickedness of these last years is also a sign that the end is drawing near.

Jesus  gave his disciples a series of clues that shows us what it will be like in these last days: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginnings of birth pains.  Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.  At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive any people.  Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”  Matthew 24: 7-13

The tribulation will be a time of uncertainty, fear and destruction.  For Jesus said that there will be no time like it in all of history.  “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again.”  Matthew 24:21

Depending on how you interpret scripture, the Lord will come for his church either sometime before the tribulation begins, or before the midpoint, three and one-half years into the tribulation, when the Anti-Christ is revealed.  In speaking of the Tribulation, this passage of scripture reveals a timeline of events that must take place first:  

“Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.  Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.  He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.”

“Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?  And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.  For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.  And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.  The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,  and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.  For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie  and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.”  2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Once the “restrainer” of evil is taken away, there will be hell on earth.  Most Christians believe that the Holy Spirit who resides in the born again believer is the restrainer.  So when the church is raptured, in effect, the Holy Spirit or restrainer is “taken out of the way.” Then the last and worst part of the tribulation will come.  

“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.  At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other.   Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.  but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”   Matthew 24:9-14 

Nearly everyday we hear of more and more lying, corruption, and acts of treason.  Every day, the rights of our citizens are ignored.  For example, there are those in the House of Representatives who willfully and blatantly ignore the Constitution, and bring charges against the former president trying to impeach him after he is no longer in office.  They have denied him due process in the House, and now are trying to try him without the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presiding.  They have chosen a highly biased judge to preside—over the unconstitutional preceding.  It is a bad joke—a kangaroo court!    

Never in all my life has wickedness prevailed so openly.  They did their best to keep the country in the dark about their illegal activities, but now that they believe that they control both the Congress and the Presidency, they are moving forward at great speed to destroy the very fabric of this nation.

The depth of corruption is not limited to the federal government and its agencies.  The major cities, and various states have been equally corrupt.  And the news media, social media, and global elites have all played important roles in this plan to destroy anyone who stands in the way of their domination.

The pervasiveness of this wickedness is so apparent, by the mere fact that so many who should have been convicted of serious crimes, have not been brought to justice. There is such a great organizational effort across several government institutions (FBI, CIA, DOJ), along with the news media, and members of Congress, to run interference, delay, mislead and hide the facts. This effort is obviously not limited to a few bad actors at the top. 

So, what do we do now?  What does God want us to do about all this?

The answer?  Pray, and trust him.  “It is mine to avenge, I will repay.”  Deuteronomy 32:35

We pray for our leaders and we pray for the Lord’s perfect will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.  We pray for the Lord to forgive those who intend to bring our nation to ruin, in order to incorporate it into a single world system of regions, rather than nations.   We pray that those who oppose God, who lie and undermine this nation and its citizens will experience godly sorrow over what they have done and will ask the Lord for forgiveness.  He wants none to be lost and go to hell.  

“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”  2 Peter 3:9

We also pray for the Lord to help us forgive others and to not take offense. We do not want to become hateful or resentful towards anyone.   We pray that the Lord will give us peace and that we will learn to be content in all circumstances.   

We cannot do this alone, we must seek the Lord for his guidance. We can ask him: “How should I think about this?  What should my attitude be about this?  How can I encourage others in these difficult times?  Is there something specific for which I should pray so as to help others resolve these problems?  What role am I to play in rectifying these difficult situations?”

As we ask the Lord these questions, he will give an answer.  The Lord says, “Call to me and I will answer you and show you great and unsearchable  things you do not know.”  Jeremiah 33:3

So let’s be patient with one another.  Let us act in love, and not be vindictive.  We are aware of sin in others, but let us not condemn, but see the sin in ourselves.  If we repent for our sins the Lord will answer our prayers:

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  2 Chronicles 7:14

Please share this important message, and seek God for his best for our nation!  I pray that God may bless you with his peace, his love, his joy and his provision.  May you be healthy and content in body, soul and spirit!  God bless you!
