This Kind (Of Evil) Only Comes Out By Prayer And Fasting
Mark 9:29
Sadly, our nation simply does not recognize evil for what it truly is. The scourge of political correctness, hell-bent on not offending, combined with the watered-down theology taught from Christian pulpits of the western world today. The political correctness of Christianity has abolished the Believer’s ability to diagnose harmful and destructive pathways in our society. Believers are falsely taught to not judge in any matters of political correctness, never considering The Bible translates two very different words into the English word “judge”.
1 — G2919 Krino which means to decide in matters of condemnation.
2 — G1252 Diakrino which means to decide in matters of discernment.
Consider the following two text.
“For if we would judge (Diakrino) ourselves, we would not be judged (Krino).” 1Corinthians 11:31
And
“Do not judge (Krino), so that you will not be judged (Krino).” Matthew 7:1
Paul’s words to the Corinthians were based upon the principle of looking inwardly at ourselves, no doubt. However, this is also very applicable to how we as a collective body or a nation should also be looking inwardly on a regular basis as to how we (collectively) measure up concerning righteousness…. And yes, there is a high standard involved in that practice. It is here, Christianity has fallen short, doing a huge disservice to its laity and in fact the nation.
Consider Christ’s words after the above text in Matthew.
“For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure, you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:2–5
The watered-down Christian teaching concerning these words of Christ is that we as Believers are to never rise to the standard or level in which we are worthy to judge (condemn) any action. This is a huge mistake. Scripture is clear that we as Believers in Christ and His Father in Heaven are being trained to judge in a greater condemnation of the world that is and even in the matters of Angels.
“Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!” 1Corithians 6:3
“Yeshua said to them, “Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging (Krino) the twelve tribes of Israel.” Matthew 19:28
So, the words of Christ recorded by Matthew in the opening of chapter 7, quoted above, have an order that must be followed if we, as true Believers, are to succumb to the level of a true Judge in Israel. That order might be laid out as follows:
1 — Examine ourselves, looking inwardly, overcoming our shortcomings in full repentance or change.
2 — Via the above experience of removing the plank (many sins) from our own eye, we are then able to discern (Diakrino) the sins of others and within our nation accordingly.
3 — As overcomers, the higher standard has been met and the responsibility to:
“Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1
4 — Then completing the formula in faithfulness, such a one is accredited worthy to judge (Krino) when the time comes.
So, where are we in our nation today?
Our nation is torn between the evil that says it is the right of choice to take away the heartbeat of an unborn child in its mother’s womb and those who love the life The Almighty gives. Why is there even the 50% that hate life, allowed to live in the first place? If they hate the life Our Creator gives, why should they be allowed to live? It’s a fair question.
Our nation refuses to recognize Our True King before assembled events, booting Him out of our schools, and removing His word from our daily lives at every turn…. But we damn sure leave “In God, We Trust” on the money and some even lend him lip service every Sunday for an hour and change, just so He will continue to bless that money our nation truly serves.
Our nation has come to accept the package of sexual perversions, homosexuality, transgenderism, bisexualism, bestiality, and even pedophilia by lending it an alphabet icon of its own. LGBYQP. The god of carnal deviancy is celebrated in our schools, on our televisions, and in our radio commentary and music….. And we do nothing about it.
Our government is overrun with corruption, as slaves are made of their citizenry. Well-paid slaves, but slaves nonetheless, selling their souls to The Enemy for their own cushy perks of the so-called American Dream.
Our churches, satisfied with their 501c3 status care nothing of the law of liberty, but rather hold more committee meetings to determine to which of their favorite charities they will spend their tithe money…. Building a new addition to their already city-block-sized church or signing that year’s long contract on running another 30-second spot of the nightly news so that more tithe payers can attend on Sunday morning…. Er’, I meant so more souls can be saved.
Our judicial system, working overtime to place as many citizens on probation as possible, is a must for a safe and secure nation. Real hardened criminals hold a permanent get-out-of-jail-free card, especially if they hail from another nation and are undocumented.
Our media is used by the Powers That Be for the express purpose of dividing our nation into two sides, neither of which is righteous…. And I could go on and on and on with the grievances anyone seeking a better way, might come up with.
In short, our nation is unfixable, incorrigible, demonic, and evil to the core, top to bottom.
So, what is to be done about it?
There is only one power in all of creation that can complete the task of repairing, enacting change, cleansing, and setting straight the nation and in fact the world we live in. That power is The Creator Himself…. You know, the One who we have kicked out of every assembly we have today?
Here’s the problem… I seriously doubt He thinks we are worth it. The fact is, His word tells us we are not worth it, but He is going to do it anyway, and why?
Because His name is at stake.
Not your well-being. Not your comfort, and not even your salvation. Yes, there’s a higher agenda than just all of that….. But that’s another topic.
That said, along the lines of that other topic, there are these criteria.
Anyone hoping to obtain physical well-being, salvation, and The Almighty’s favor, must first prove their WORTH to do so…. And how exactly is such validation sought in the eyes of Our Creator? Christianity would tell you, there’s nothing you as the Believer can do to be WORTHY of the gift of eternal life. I’m sorry, that’s simply not what I read from The Bible.
“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not WORTHY.” Matthew 22:8
“I, therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner WORTHY of the calling to which you have been called.” Ephesians 4:1
“Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are WORTHY.” Revelation 3:4
So, what is it The Almighty is looking for? Well, I think He is looking for many things. Loyalty comes to mind. Obedience, as well. However, there is another quality I think gets overlooked sometimes. The characteristics of a Prophet… But not just any prophet. A Prophet that is willing to jump in and share the suffering of the ones that will be judged before the judgment comes.
Consider Elijah, who when he knew there were 3.5 years of drought and famine on the way, The Almighty didn’t send him to a land where the drought wasn’t an issue. He left him right in the middle of it and fed him via a foreigner and a raven. Likewise, He told the Apostle Paul, I will show you how many things you must suffer before he can serve me. Christ Himself was not excluded from this principle, being in a state of fasting for 40 days and nights before beginning His 3.5-year ministry….. And the case could be made for every one of the Patriarchs and Prophets in scripture. Suffering ahead of time, preparing for the ministry The Almighty had in store for them.
Seeing the judgment approaching quickly, are we as Believers any different? Or are Believers deceived into relying upon the fantasy of the rapture as their physical salvation?
There is a certain evil in this world, literally headquartered in this nation called The UNITED STATES, which is simply not America. Two different nations.
So, what should Believers do in the spirit of all the Patriarchs and Prophets? Consider these words from one of those Biblical Prophets…. (My commentary within, unbolded and un-italicized)
“Cry aloud; do not hold back; lift up your voice like a trumpet; declare to my people their transgression, to the house of Jacob (the end time regathered house of Israel, America) their sins. Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways (Our Judeo-Christian Nation), as if they were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the judgment (Covenant Law) of their Creator; they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to Our Creator (in lip service). ‘Why have we fasted, and you see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it? (such efforts have been tried before by various church organizations and movements), Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, and oppress all your workers (The wrong motives, usually void of humility). Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to hit with a wicked fist (to uphold the organization or denomination as being righteous). Fasting like yours this day WILL NOT make your voice to be heard on high. Is such the fast that I choose, a day for a person to (simply) humble himself? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him (in an outward appearance of humility)? Will you call this a fast, and a day acceptable to The Almighty?
“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness (For the right reason, which is to overcome the oppressor in our nation, The Enemy and Tryanical Government of The Beast System, THE UNITED STATES), to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke (Regulatory, Admiralty Law that the western nations all fall under)? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house (to bring the plite of the homeless into your government for consideration of repair); when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh (so that the good deeds are not seen by others for the sake of vanity)? Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of The Almighty shall be your rear guard (A worthiness of salvation). Then you shall call, and The Almighty will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take away the yoke from your midst (The yoke of materialism and fear of the world and its systems of danties and delights), the pointing of the (acusing) finger, and speaking wickedness (Upholding profane laws, being apathetic to standing for righteousness), if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted (Deying one’s self until the issues are fixed), then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday. And The Almighty will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong (bring you through the tribulation in flying colors); and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail (The Ezekiel 47 vision of the increase of waters flowing from the governmental temple). And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt (the government intended by Our Founding Fathers and By The Almighty); you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in. Isaiah 58:1–12
The only way the evil of this nation gets fixed is through Prayer and Fasting. Is it a salvational issue? If salvation is your main objective, I’m afraid you’ve simply missed the boat and this article can in no way help you. The best you can do is re-evaluate your heart for you can bet, The Almighty has found you wanting.
