Give the devil a little finger of America, and he’ll take the whole hand—the whole country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How true—if only we weren’t seeing it happen right in front of our eyes, and so quickly it’s almost unbelievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evil—and the evil one—is never satisfied with a little finger of concession from an individual or a culture or a country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pause to ponder each item on this list, and realize how evil demands more and more, as soon as it gets a foothold. I could write multiple articles, but I’m asking you to review the progression yourself, inside each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drugs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pornography<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Violence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Education<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lgbt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Government<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dictatorship<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Godlessness—I will elaborate on this one, at the heart of what is happening in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, we took God for granted because we got used to His blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s all it took for the devil to get hold of a little finger of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then everything on the above list started demanding more, and crowded God out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then we openly and publicly pushed God out, forcefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evil is never satisfied with a little, and a little more—it claims everything, and demands acceptance, endorsement, and worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, war is declared on everything Godly, any reminder of Him and His Word, most especially Christians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The devil will not stop his grasping for more of America, until he has all of America, like China or North Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that is why this country looks more and more like China, with mandates and surveillance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can the evil takeover be stopped and turned around?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I do know that the remnant of Christians who pray, will pray through this darkening time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We pray for a miracle, for God to move—and we pray for God to move us, to make us faithful, for others to see Jesus in us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Let your light so shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Light shines brighter in darkness—in this darkness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
