Spiritual Genocide

There is an increased move to the spirit realm and upon the world that has murderous intent upon the people of God, that is forcing them to choose between the world and its ways or to follow Christ. The shaking has intensified, bringing individual believers to ask themselves: Is it all worth it? Can I continue to pay such a high price? What is the point of it all? The enemy of our souls is warring against us so that we step away from the path that God has set before us, and the danger of course is that we succumb to the pressure and give up our faith. Conforming to the world is the easy way out, and submitting to the spirit of the world will come at the cost in our faith.

The spiritual genocide is going on before us, and our faith is being tested to breaking point, and many are succumbing to it.  But all is not lost if only we keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and the Perfector of our faith, that despite the pressure to conform to the world’s ways, He calls us up higher and invites us to take our place in His spiritual realm and to resist.  By resisting, the byproduct will be character development, more faith, and bountiful fruit in their lives. And yes, we can learn to be like Apostle Paul and be content in all things whether good, bad or indifferent.

So, the Spirit of the Lord says, "I have got this. Look to Jesus and keep your gaze upon Him, and the chaos around you will dissipate, turmoil will be stilled, and pressure will be abated, for I have rest for your souls, healing for your wounds, and forgiveness for your failings. This is not the time to give in to the spirit of the world, to compromise, and to give up. Now is the time to enter into your purpose and to fulfil your destiny."

Activation. Take a moment, take a moment right now and breathe. Bring to your mind your Saviour and see His face. Allow Him to minister to your deepest needs and reassure you that He has got you. Get into that rest that He has prepared for you and allow Him to show you how to be content even though the world rages around you. Focus your eyes on Jesus, your King and Lover of your soul, allow Him to speak His words of love and affection. Determine in your heart that the cost is worth it and press on with what he has for you, and above all don’t give in.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:10-13

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2
