Ephesians 6:10-13 (NKJV) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

When we look around us we must remember that even though we see things naturally with our eyes or perceive things with our natural ability to reason and think, there are workings that go far beyond that which we see and comprehend. The apostle Paul is giving us a glimpse into the warfare that we as believers need to engage in our daily life.

We are in the middle of an election and there are some who wonder why is it so nasty. Well… no battle is easy or nice. And when a changing of the guards takes place, the battle gets worse. We wonder why the conservatives have lost the elections in the last 8 years. Led by people whose belly is their gods, there is not much to fight for. They talk a good game but their hearts are far from doing good for the people. It is all about ideas- pushing an agenda that defies and have replaced common sense.

America boasts of liberty. Yet she has given up her liberty, that she once fought for, to be enslaved under those whose desire is not liberty but oppression. The ruling class and those who control the money have usurped power. Is there any reason to believe that freedom exists? I would dare say, American freedom today is controlled by this same ruling class so much so that “freedom”  is not  freedom at all. It is only “freedom” if it is sanctioned by the ruling class.We the masses complain “we have no bread” and the ruling class callously say “eat cake”. How sad that we continue to condone such hypocrisy and blatant tyranny.

Their tactics have no changed. When we desire to rise up and ask for change, they apply the smokescreens. And usually the smoke works to keep the worker bees in line. Distract from the issues at hand and focus on foolish things that have nothing to do with your future. But as a people we have to look past the voices of the many and look deep within. Is this what we want for our future? Can we survive under the oppression much longer? If the meat of the oppression seems too good to give up for the manna of the greater good of our future, then we will stay under oppression.

We have been lied to, deceived, and manipulated for decades. Too many men, women and children have died under the oppression of America and her ruling class. Is it any wonder that judgment is about to come to this country? We have blood on our hands. We elect people whose lust for power have murdered millions. We elect those who willingly sacrifice our children on the altars of convenience. We elect those whose words sound great but whose heart and desire is really to oppress. And they have mastered the tactics of smokescreens.

I would admonish those who know Christ to wake up. America is bound for judgment and there will be wailing. Rise up warriors of God and seek His face for mercy. We have defiled every principle of God and there is one voice  speaking of judgment. The other just keeps attacking the truth.God is using Mr. Trump to sound a clarion, a call to repentance. If we, as believers,  whose duty is to watch,  fail to hear the call today, we will certainly face judgment and it will be swift.

I would love if God extended mercy to us and I pray for it. But as I listen, I hear one thing and that is the dismissal of the trumpet that calls for repentance. When the prophets spoke on behalf of God to Israel, they were usually ostracized, beaten and left for dead. The tactics of the enemy has not changed. This is not an election, folks. This is the last call for repentance from God who desires mercy but whose duty must be judgment for non-repentance.

Stand fast and be prepared. We have only a few more days. If we do not hear His Voice- we only expose ourselves to be judged.
