The Antichrist Spirit in this Country

1 John 4:3 “but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. (NIV)

          Hollywood has made countless movies about the antichrist coming to earth. One of the most popular ones from the 1970’s was the release of the film “Omen” where a child had been born, and thought to be the antichrist. During the film, this child was raised in a family affiliated with politics and in later films, he grew to power where he sets his eyes for the presidential seat. However, that goal was never accomplished.

          Our government is running a dangerous course with God. There is ungodliness all across our land. Where God was supposed to be the foundation and its source, the mere mention of God is distasteful in the eyes of many. On any given day, you can hear about having sympathy towards the Islamic religion, while our government creates more and more laws to take away our religious freedoms.

          An article done last year on “The Blaze” website discussed  military  personnel not being allowed to talk about their religion. It went on further to say that it began with lower ranks, but was really focused on higher ranks pushing their religious views on their subordinates. One recommendation given to settle the matter would involve the process of court martial for those who did this. It would be against the military code to discuss your religion. So basically a, don’t ask, don’t tell policy as what was once for the enlisted gays.  It makes you wonder if the issue was really about proselytizing their religion, or was and currently is about taking religion out  of the military altogether. It’ s strange how gays can now come out, but soon, the Christians may be required to hide out. Matthew 5:16 “…let your light so shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Should this really take effect and other religious freedoms in the military such as not being able to wear your uniform on the platform at church, I would tell any Christian that you may want to think twice before going in. I’m a Navy veteran and I hate to say that I wouldn’t recommend the military, but it is true due to the times we’re living in.

          The government is allowing millions of babies to be aborted every year. Since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade’s decision, 50 million babies have been aborted. It’s a woman’s choice, they say and therefore, babies are slaughtered like cattle year after year. 3,000 babies are killed each day. Over a million various types of abortions are performed in the United States every year. 52% of African American babies are aborted each year. (www.endoftheamericandream.com ) Why has this nation lost the appreciation of life? Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; (NIV) This verse means that life does begin at conception and therefore, you are taking a life when you participate in the act of abortion.

          The government is taking God out of everything. In many schools, you can’t say “merry Christmas” because it may offend someone. There was a school last year who made Christmas cards, and had gifts with the words “Merry Christmas” on them for veterans at the VA hospital in Augusta, Georgia only to be told that it wasn’t allowed because of the wording on them. The government has already outlawed prayer in school, but they now want to teach your children at 5 years old about sex. I’m sorry! We can’t pray, but you want to teach a child about WHAT??? Then they are openly teaching children about having 2 mommies and 2 daddies. I’m not talking about stepparents; I’m talking about the “gay” agenda. I’m sorry, but they shouldn’t be teaching on the “straight” agenda, so definitely not the “gay” one. This is an abomination before the Lord. Leviticus 18:22 “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.”  1Timothy 1:10 “for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine.” (NIV) The Bible makes it clear that homosexuality is a sin. Therefore, we should not allow anyone to teach children wrong. It may be time for homeschooling folks.

          Okay! Let’s address the homosexual agenda since the president wants to make it known that he is “PRO homosexual” by throwing it up in our faces, that he has elected officials, in this lifestyle to office. I’m sorry! I’m happy that a black woman was given the chance to be in a government office, but what does her sexuality have anything to do with her doing her JOB? It doesn’t matter who she strips down for behind closed doors because that’s between her and God. However, her sexual preference should not be on display. Mr. President…has it wrong.

          In addition to that, gay marriage is being made into law all across the country. The constitution is being stepped on and not even speaking of the BIBLE. No wonder they don’t want the 10 commandments displayed in government buildings and any sign of God on the government steps. You know why? They are trampling all over it like a stampede of cattle. Do not fret people! These are signs of the times that were prophesied to us in God’s word.

          Woe unto the pastors, who aren’t taking a stand against this type of behavior themselves. If you are preaching an unadulterated truth, then you are of the devil. Yes! I am talking about some of these mega pastors who are afraid to say on TELEVISION that homosexuality is a SIN. One pastor said, “I don’t get to have an opinion…” Excuse me! Your opinion should be that of Thus Saith The Lord!!! No questions’ asked! That is your opinion….again, signs of the end.  What about the Pope saying that atheist can go to heaven…LOL! WHAT!!!

          Okay, help me to understand this. Let’s say for instance, I don’t like chocolate; why would I want to go inside a chocolate factory? After all, I don’t like chocolate. If atheists don’t believe that there is a GOD, then why would they want to go to His house? Come on! I’m just saying…. Pastors and other leaders who aren’t speaking the truth, will cause many to be misled. 2 Timothy 4:3-4  “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. (NIV) There you have it! People will not want to hear the truth and therefore, they will flock to churches that don’t tell it. Such likes of this is seen in one of the largest television ministries that is viewed across the country. He has a “nice” message, but he doesn’t teach people about righteous living. He makes the “feel” good. We all love to feel good, but let’s feel good while doing what’s right. Revelation 3:19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. (NIV)

          Yes, this government and country has a spirit of the antichrist. There is a growing lack of love for the things of God and a rush towards the things of the devil. 1John 2:22-23 Who is a liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (NIV) People it’s time to wake up! The spirit of the antichrist is present in this world. We must be careful not to fall into the traps that are easily being set for us. Heaven is real! Hell is real! There is no in between. You’re either sold out for God or selling out to the devil. Make your choice! Joshua 24:15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve….(NIV) Make a choice people and do not fall for the alluring of the antichrist spirit. God bless!
