Dear Global Christian Warriors,
Join us on this 21 day repentance journey to study His Word on Judgments. God willing, we will also include each day a suggested issue to repent of. We hope to bless you, to edify you, to strengthen you with His Word, consistent with 2 Timothy 3:16-17: " All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
TODAY'S REPENTANCE REFLECTION:
Judgment Seal #3 ~ Rider on the Black Horse (FAMINE)
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
~Revelation 6:5-6 (KJV)
Did you ever hear lying False Prophets tell you that the "Sin of Sodom" was "Inhospitality?" This is utterly false. The answer is found in a deep study of God's Holy Word. HERE IS THE SPIRITUAL MEANING.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters and neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
~Ezekiel 16:49 (KJV)
Hmmm...sounds like we didn't "feed" the "poor and the needy," right?
But, let's "be a Berean" and take each Hebrew word by studying them individually. This is the True meaning:
Behold this was the iniquity (perversity, depravity) of thy sister Sodom,
While not feeding the poor would be evil...perversity and depravity would indicate something else. Let's continue:
The word "Sodom" means "burning"... Sodom was built on bituminous soil on account of its many fires. Bitumin is added to sandy soil to increase stability. Fast forward to modern Judeo-Christian based countries of Western democracies. We were founded on the Mosaic bedrock principles. When we "slipped" on sandy Sodom soil, we held days of NATIONAL REPENTANCE which often resulted in Great Revival periods. This helped, at least temporarily, to re-stabilize our slippery slope downward. Let's continue:
pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters and neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
pride (Gay pride...loving ourselves/narcissim) and our own fullness of bread (satiety, satisfaction) (with the Bread of Life as we threw God out of our public squares) and abundance (quietness, ease, prosperity, leading to carelessness and impiety) of idleness (peace in our lands of liberty) was in her and in her daughters (former Judeo-Christian nations) and neither did she strengthen (retain, hold on to strongly, grow stout and resolute in her faith), the hand of the poor and needy (those who are WRETCHED of mind, destitute, needing deliverance from God, beggars in the SPIRITUAL sense, those who are spiritually bereft).
So...the sin that God is so rightfully ANGRY about in Ezekiel 16 is the sin of a HARDENED PEOPLE who were given ABUNDANT SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS and LIBERTY yet squandered it all away in SELFISH, LUSTFUL LIVING while not sharing the gospel and deliverance to the REST OF THE WORLD. Instead they promoted ABOMINATIONS throughout the entire world. Now we fly the "rainbow flag" at our embassies exporting perversions to "the poor and needy" that cause them both physical and spiritual death. SHAME ON US.
It's time to confess this sin and repent in every nation where this applies.
This Third Seal Judgment may manifest as a FOOD FAMINE, but that is a "hunger" condition which will be our Judgment for failure to "feed" others. We did not "strengthen the hand" of "the poor and the needy"...those countries which needed SPIRITUAL TRUTH instead of perversity. Now, God's "Hunger Games" are about to begin. You may have already noticed this; our food and gas bills are skyrocketing and "supply chain" shortages continue to mount.
There is always a merciful side to God's Judgments. He wants "oil and wine" to "not be touched." These represent:
Oil = Prophetic understanding
Wine = Fruit of the Spirit
So, as we suffer the ravages of hunger and famine, it is God's desire that we begin to see our sin and REPENT of it. As our understanding increases, we will finally begin to SHARE the gospel of peace with the world, as we should have all along.
With the Holy Spirit opening up the Word with you, take time today to read His Book of Revelation. Start following Christ's FINAL COMMAND before He ascended:
GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS.
Start now. Right where you are. Join me in "feeding the poor and the needy."
The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed.
~Luke 4:18 (Berean Study Bible)
On this day, November 12, spend time with the Lord, asking Him if you have "fed the poor and the needy" by sharing His gospel message?
You and I were born for such a time as this. We are to minister to others during the serious shakings ahead, expected in all nations. To do so, we need today to build up our spiritual strength through times of private repentance. We can also share times of fellowship, sharing testimonies of repentance to encourage us further.
The fear of God is not a terror that He is against us or will strike without cause or warning. Rather, the awe, the reverential fear of God, produces wise, healthy actions, as when the midwives feared God more than Pharaoh, and saved the male children, including Moses.
During these 21 days, as your doctor and the Lord may direct, you may also wish to fast as the Lord leads. Removing old sin strongholds spiritually may also act as a blessing to detox your body physically.
When you repented to come into His Kingdom, you became a vessel filled with His Holy Spirit. We are to fear, have an awesome respect for, the Living God, not fear of man, nor fear of death.
Join us in this spiritual journey to study His Word on Judgments and to repent to avoid Judgment.
You may want to ask "where did this surface in me?" Is it a generational curse? How does it show up in my character today? If you confess that sin pattern, the Lord will forgive you. You can then sincerely repent, replacing that stronghold with His Holy Word.
A key one is found in Matthew 28: 18: " And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."
No need for a theologian. The word "all" means ALL.
Revelation 1: 17-18 could not be more clear: "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, 'Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."
