The result of the recent US and international elections have released a divine call to the remnant church of Jesus Christ: Rejoice!
“God’s high and holy praises fill their mouths, for their shouted praises are their weapons of war! These warring weapons will bring vengeance on the nations and every resistant power- to bind kings with chains and rulers with iron shackles. Praise-filled warriors will enforce the judgment decreed against their enemies. This is the honor he gives to all his godly lovers. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!” Psalms 149:6-9 TPT
There is no doubt that the last several years in America and elsewhere in the western world have shown clearly the deep divide in civilization and people between the righteous and unrighteous:
Multitudes multitudes in the valley of decision – for the day of the Lord is near. Joel 3:14.
Recent national changes in political leadership have produced two distinct, disparate mindsets: Disappointment/ despair/ fear,
and
Happy giddiness anticipating both “freedom” (lawlessness?) and suppression of “evil”.
Both mindsets are the natural soulish result of circumstances dictating man’s soulish outlook.
But for believers pursuing maturity in agape love, a totally different perspective1 results. The reason is that mature agape love transcends what is seen (natural circumstances) and gets to spiritually see and better understand His “long game” that the Lord Himself reveals from the heights of His love ( to those walking in agape).
And here we are: near the end of the 7th year of this 2decade of shaking of the western Church.
With this recent trigger of the upcoming will of the people, the Lord is moving forward and accelerating events of the latter days toward His fulfillment of our Lord’s return. To the present-day remnant of committed believers maturing in agape, a clear vision is taking shape:
The valley of personal Eternal decision between good and evil, truth and lies, hatred and love is being clearly demarcated. Every person is choosing the road to life or to perdition during this period of testing of the hearts of men- believers (and 3dropouts) and unbelievers, atheists and agnostics. The chasm has grown deep and there is little misinterpretation of which road one is going on will lead to. There is a day coming soon where this will no longer be true. Great deception from heaven will be released so that no person will be left in the valley of decision between light and darkness so that all may be judged:
For this reason, God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. 2 Thes 2:11-12
This message is directed primarily to those pursuing the Lord on the road to righteousness: look at this season from God’s perspective – not men.
In this hour, the command in Psalm 149:6-9 above is a present hour directive from the Lord.
Every committed believer is to continually praise our almighty God and Father for His faithfulness in the coming judgment of all wickedness, evil and unrighteousness in the earth.
Forget your soulish opinions on the state of the world! Every one is a distraction to the warfare that has already been underway for so long but now is reaching a spiritual crescendo that will literally shake all things that can be shaken!
“.Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” Heb 12:27
According to this Faithful and True Word in Psalm 149, our high praise will execute Divine Warfare of this judgment in the Earth to be (ultimately) seen by all:
These warring weapons (your high praises of Him) will bring vengeance on the nations and every resistant power- to bind kings with chains and rulers with iron shackles. Praise-filled warriors will enforce the judgment decreed against their enemies.
Do you believe that God can and will actually use your very praise of Him to execute true justice and righteousness in the earth?! Yes! His will is not for you to use violence (in words or actions) to enforce His will on earth. (That’s one of western Christian cultures traditions. See footnote 2, and 2 Cor 10:3). Neither is a response of fear and withdrawal like the survivalist post-apocalyptic movies popularize.
All those who are His- now Praise Him!! Always and continually!!
This word is also directed to those NOT really pursuing the Lord on the road to righteousness: dropouts, agnostics, skeptics and atheists.
In this hour the world’s systems are testing your foundational beliefs in every aspect. There are only two paths into eternity. When your worldview can no longer sustain your needs and hopes and desires for truth, beauty, goodness, justice and most of all pure love, then it is now time to turn back to Him in humility, repentance, and fear of the soon coming King of Kings!
Marantha!
