WHAT CAUSED THIS WORLD TO CHANGE SO DRASTICALLY?

Opinion: By Linda Kirby/WGON

Luke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

This country was founded on Judeo Christian values and we have been blessed for it up until recent times when we have kicked God out. This parable that Jesus spoke shows that we can clean up our lives, our country but if we kick God out, then it will get worse than before. Just look at what has taken place just in the last few years. It's not like anything this old woman has ever seen. I've seen evil, yes, but it was few and far between. Now evil is celebrated and they demand you accept it as normal and right. People who try to protect themselves and loved ones are incarcerated while the criminal is let loose. Children are being attacked on all levels so much that it's getting close to impossible to protect them and when you try, you either lose your child to them through their DHS and you are locked up or you lose your child to the evil demonic power trying to take them.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This passage reminds us that we are not fighting those people in the streets burning down our cities, we are not fighting our government leaders leading the way for all this demonic activity, we are fighting those behind them, those principalities and spirits in high places. They were kicked out once but when we kicked God out, they came back stronger and many!

Back in the 60s we threw out prayer in schools, in our government, our kids were allowed to be overtaken by darkness. Thus, when we started letting wickedness in, we noticed a change in our culture, our youth, our nation. We noticed our country was becoming more and more demonically controlled but those demons were few in number as they slowly pushed out God in various locations. As they did, those locations, like a cancer grows, corrupted more and more locations until we found ourselves filled with demonic activities at the highest levels in this country and its government. When people take God out of their lives and their country, they leave the door open for something else to come in and every time, that something else is demonic in nature, as the parable showed.

Be aware that emptying your country and your life of God doesn't free you from a god, man WILL have a god and it is not a true God, but the pagan gods of old. The country, this world has in fact, replaced God with their gods of climate change, technology, trans agenda, abortion, war, earth worship, and many other gods. As the people of biblical times did, they didn't worship just one god, they had many. This past earth day, which was set up as a day to worship the earth, we saw in many cultures the actual worship of earth in a religious fashion. We see statues of the gods of old being put up in various locations. We see buildings that are built to look like the tower of Babel.

The one true God was removed and the many false gods were brought in. Man will worship something so kicking the one true God out didn't stop man from having a deity to worship. These false gods make man forget all about the one true God just as they did back in Israel's early times. We see that now. We see that the remnants of Christ worshipers are being persecuted even here in the US because they have to kick out the rest of the remaining true God's presence.

What were the results of Israel's pagan worship back in the old testament times? God came down on them with such judgement, that they were eating their own babies because of famine. They were sent into slavery to their worst enemies. They were destroyed completely. When Israel finally came back to God, he showed them mercy. They were able to leave slavery and go back home but most of them had gotten comfortable in their new world in Babylon. Most didn't return. But, for those who did, they were blessed and able to rebuild their Jerusalem and temple.

We, today, can move back to God, but most have gotten too comfortable in their Babylon homes. They love the world of sin. But, those who do come back to God, will be blessed. He will allow you to rebuild your life and world around you.

Let's take a lesson from pagan Israel and stop with the pagan worship, and come back to our first love....Jesus!
