Resist the War Mongering Rising Up On the Earth - 9.11.25

Proverbs 26:23-28 NLT — Smooth words may hide a wicked heart, just as a pretty glaze covers a clay pot. People may cover their hatred with pleasant words, but they’re deceiving you. They pretend to be kind, but don’t believe them. Their hearts are full of many evils. While their hatred may be concealed by trickery, their wrongdoing will be exposed in public. If you set a trap for others, you will get caught in it yourself. If you roll a boulder down on others, it will crush you instead. A lying tongue hates its victims, and flattering words cause ruin.

The earth is taking a huge leap into the last days today. Watch.

Everyone is being rallied to a war. Both sides lie about their hatred of the other side. Both sides cover their murderous thoughts with lies about good intentions.  

The true intention is control.

Man taking control of what was God's to do is what broke the world in the first place.

Come out of her.  There is no righteous carnal war.  The Spiritual war that will see the victors prevail is the war against our own human nature.  We must crucify, not justify, our flesh.

Anger is murder. Only God himself can be angry and not sin because God is outside of our sinful nature.  

Many are twisting God's words to justify their own hatred and fleshy desire for control, lust, greed, and the like.  The foolish follow them to war.

WAR is coming.  Anyone who fights in it fights against God himself.

If you aren't willing to lose the fleshy war beginning to erupt against the saints,  you will certainly lose the Spiritual war.

Revelation 13:4-10 NLT — They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. “Who is as great as the beast?” they exclaimed. “Who is able to fight against him?” Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months. And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name and his dwelling—that is, those who dwell in heaven. And the beast was allowed to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation. And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made—the Book that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand. Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.

Only those who are victorious in the Spiritual war will inherit eternal life.  The meek will inherit the earth and the poor in Spirit will inherit the kingdom. Those who embrace, not resist, persecution will be rewarded.

Matthew 5:9-16 NLT — God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. “God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way. “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

God is testing His church to find those who are salt and light... Different from the world... unwilling to use the world's ways to get Spiritual things lawlessly.

The foolish mix earthly (often political) strength with Godly ideals.  This is the antichrist Spirit.  It walks both sides of the aisle.

The wise learn to trust God even unto the loss of their own lives.  They gladly exchange this earthly life for eternal life. Heaven doesn't mourn their death, it celebrates their victory over the flesh.

Acts 7:55-60 NLT — But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed steadily into heaven and saw the glory of God, and he saw Jesus standing in the place of honor at God’s right hand. And he told them, “Look, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing in the place of honor at God’s right hand!” Then they put their hands over their ears and began shouting. They rushed at him and dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul. As they stoned him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” He fell to his knees, shouting, “Lord, don’t charge them with this sin!” And with that, he died.

All who share Jesus' Spirit see forgiveness and death the same way.

Do not be deceived.  Many are being led astray by romantic ideas of "what should be" in this life instead of the cross and Christ crucified.  Most who claim to believe in Jesus are unwilling to follow Him to their own death of self.

Matthew 5:21-26 NLT — “You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’ But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell. “So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. “When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. And if that happens, you surely won’t be free again until you have paid the last penny.

Matthew 16:24-27 NLT — Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.
