The Spirit of Death

The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths.  They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks along them will know peace.  Isaiah 59.8

When I was a young mother one of he things I enjoyed was leaving my front door, side door and all my windows open so that my house could catch the wonderful breeze blowing in the  late evenings.
We didn't worry about anyone breaking in because my neighbors looked out for one another.  My children even slept in the back yard in a tent whenever they wanted without any fear of harm or injury from a stranger.
We even went camping at a campsite with our church as we all slept in tents.  My children went camping with rhe church and the only fear I  had was whether my kids would break a leg hiking. Neighbors children would come to our yard and play with my kids and our children could walk the neighborhood without fear from mobs of violent kids.  Those were the days of innocence.

Our world has changed dramatically like a  crazed horse running wildly out of the barn.  The world as we have known it is gone and has forever changed and anyone over 55 years old do not recognized this place we find ourselves in.  There is no peace in the land as people are cautious going into public places.  Everyone  is nervous and suspicious of each other as fear grips the heart of man.

We have gradually slid into a place of  depravity where young people love to record acts of violence.  Where have their innocence gone?  Instead of stopping an act of violence, they laugh as they record it.  Blood, gore and suffering is entertainment to them.   They have become desensitized through violent movies, cartoons and video games.  Uncontrolled emotions is another part of this killing cycle we are witnessing.  We gave it a name; "road rage." 

What have these young people been taught in the homes?  What are they witnessimg in the homes?  Domestic violence is on the rise from fighting to killing and if this is done in front of the children, what effect will it have on them?  Many homes are the first place of violence that children witness.  Many people complain about prayer being taken out of the schools, but that's not the problem.  The real problem is prayer being taken out of the homes. 

I grieve for this generation because the natural love for others is not within them.  Paul wrote, "where do wars and strife come from?"  It comes from lust and greed!  Something else more frightening seems to be raising its head in this equation and that is killing for sport.   People walking down the street are being shot for no apparent reason except for sport. 

Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites for you travel on land and sea to make one proselyte and when he is made you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.  Matthew 23:15

Good job, Baby Boomers!  Your lust for money, power, sex and material wealth has created an entire generation of self loving monsters.  But God has a Remnant who have not bowed their knees to this material world and is seeking the heart of the Father in these last days to demonstrate Christ's love, principles and power.  These are young people who are focused, bold and courageous; willing and ready to advance the kingdom of God at any cost.   You will begin to witness this rising of glorious young people who are strong and vigilant concerning the will of God.

The spirit of murder has gone out over the nations, but the Spirit of God is calling the sons of God to arise and take your position to do mighty exploits on the earth.  The fervent, effectual prayers of the righteous avails much and God dispatches His angels to go before you.  I have witnessed a few young people who are wise beyond their years and can hang in there with the best adult. The Spirit of the Lord says, "ARISE."

  1. This is a powerful portrait in words of the condition of our land at this time. It appears to be a generation that knows not the Lord and has no regard for humanity at all, but we can still exercise our option in 2 Corinthians 7:14 and believe to reveal Himself as only He can do when civilization has so declined.
