I’ve got to say that I’m exhausted. Not from any physical
work but from the constant flood of negative messages that are all but
impossible to run from. Where do you go to remove yourself from this “thing” that
is draining the life out of anyone who will listen to it?
This “thing” that I’m talking about is nothing more, in my
opinion than the spirit of antichrist. The spirit of antichrist is the
complete opposite of what the “Real” Christ stands for. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, stood for Loving
your neighbor even more than yourself. In Mathew 22: 37-39 Jesus replied, “Love the
Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself” (NIV). He never condoned running over people
like a stampede because their opinions were different or making others feel
like a sub-human because they do not agree with the political agenda of the
day. Jesus was a kind and caring man who, although God of the Universe, always
thought of others before himself. His death on the Cross proved that.
The antichrist spirit, on the other hand, is a lying,
manipulating, and is a downright destructive force that is only interested in
one thing, itself. This evil is spreading like a wildfire across our nation and
is not letting up. It's stealing, killing and destroying everything in its path.
You can see its aftermath in the families, communities, and courtrooms all over
this nation. Our once Christian Nation with the values that made us the
greatest country in the world is all but a memory. But its not over yet.
We still have a chance if only we will turn back to God and
ask for His forgiveness and once again turn our faces toward the One who can
save us. Jesus Christ is the only hope we have. Our families, communities, and
nation depends on it. 2 Chronicles 30:9 states, “If you return to the LORD, then
your fellow Israelites (people) and your children will be shown compassion by
their captors and will return to this land, for the LORD your God is gracious
and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him”
(NIV).
If we will just stop and look around at what is happening
and ask for God’s help, He will help us. He will protect us and walk through
this with us. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 states, “But the Lord is faithful, and he
will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one” (NIV). Another verse that
promises God will be with us is Deuteronomy 31:6 which states, “Be strong and
courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your
God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (NIV).
I, for one, am going to turn away from the antichrist spirit
and ask God to forgive me for my involvement in this destruction. I’ll ask Him
to forgive me for not loving others like I love myself and ask Him to help me understand
what that looks like in this world. If God is for us who can be against us? Not
even the spirit of antichrist can defeat us if we are holding on to what Jesus
did for us and having faith in what He has promised us.
Let’s start today putting our faith in a loving and caring
Savior and although it may not be politically correct, turn our hearts and
minds away from the lies and deception of the antichrist that has already
gotten a firm hold on our country.
Your Sister in the Real Christ, Jesus,
