1 John 2:22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is
the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.
(NIV)
1 John 4:2-3 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from
God, 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.
Revelation 19:20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false
prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had
deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
The spirit of the anti-Christ is
here. Notice that I said the “spirit”. No, I didn’t mention a name of a
particular person, but there is a spirit of anti-God lurking around America. As
for the false prophet, there are plenty of them to go around. Now in the last
days, when the anti-Christ comes onto the scene, he will work beside the false
prophet to accomplish the devil’s agenda according to the book of Revelation.
Therefore, if the two are already here, they may not have been displayed to the
world yet. However, the spirit of both is currently on the scene.
Matthew 7:15-16 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in
sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you
will recognize them…” (NIV)
The Bible clearly warns us to be on the lookout for such
deception. Many will be fooled because the anti-Christ will not appear to be
evil nor will the false prophet. Many will follow them as sheep being led to
the slaughter. However, beware because the day is coming where a choice either
for God or the devil will have to be made.
Actually,
that choice is having to be made right now for many. What choice you may ask?
Okay…I am going to just put it out there. Many may not agree, but I am going to
say it anyway. Our government has allowed for God to be taken out of every
aspect of its society for the sake of accommodation to the ungodly. Where
children used to be able to pray in school, June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court
deemed it unconstitutional for there to be prayer in schools, due to a lawsuit
brought on in New York by Steven Engel and other parents. However, God had
something different in mind. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 Rejoice
always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s
will for you in Christ Jesus. (NIV)
January 22,
1973, the United States legalized an ungodly act by allowing abortion to be
legalized within the United States. Since then there has been a record number
of over 55 million abortions that have taken place within the United States. So
in other words, there have been 55 million children who have legally died by
the hands of physicians within the United States. Now some may say that life doesn’t
begin until the baby is born. Well, God’s word disagrees with that statement. Jeremiah
1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set
you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (NIV) God is clearly saying that HE
formed us in our mothers’ wombs. Therefore, life begins at conception and not
after the actual birth. Psalms 139:13-14 For you created my
inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I
am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full
well. (NIV) According to God’s word, murder of any kind is wrong. This
includes abortion because it is taking the life of an innocent child.
Let’s dig
into the United States’ Government and see what legislation has been passed that is anti-God.

the judges!” (NIV)
·
June 2013--The Department of Justice defunds youth
Marine program due to God being mentioned in the oath and because it permits
voluntary prayer. 2 Timothy 3:12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life
in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and imposters will go from
bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (NIV)
America and its government will have to answer to God
concerning the decisions that have been made against His laws. Just as every
government that went against God fell including Israel, that day is speedily
approaching. God will render His judgment on America and all heathen nations
that try to cast Him out. We must pray that prior to that day coming, people
will turn their hearts and lives back to God. Jesus is coming back. Judgment is
coming. The anti-Christ spirit that it in this country will become worse before
it gets better. Christians must take a stand regardless of what the government
say either for God or for the devil. No one will be able to straddle the fence.
There wasn’t enough time to go into the discussion of the False Prophet, so
this will be continued in the weeks to come.
