Saints,
We know Satan’s ingenious strategic schemes to defeat large pagan human cultures are successful in every age to date. For example, no republic like America has survived over 300+ years in the history of mankind. All crumble into despotic regimes sooner or later.
The advent and triumph of social entitlement programs, unsustainable monstrous debt, and erosion of morals ultimately destroy that culture. America is no different than Greece or Rome. Moreover, the current digital age and unprecedented wealth hasten its end like no other time in history.
Our nemesis Satan knows homosexuality is a key linchpin in the dominos that are rapidly falling and frighteningly so. He’s been relentlessly focused for decades to bring about the mind boggling acceleration of the complete homosexual agenda.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we as the western church by and large are too busy with a-musements (vs. musing on God), storing up treasures on earth at the bequest of well-known national Christian financial gurus (vs. giving our possessions away), reading books about God and posting on Facebook (vs. getting our hands dirty serving the disenfranchised) then just raising our hands in song on Sunday and congratulating ourselves (vs. walking in the mid-week supernatural works He prepared beforehand to defeat the enemy advances) to be of any significant use to God in this battle. At least so far…
We must remember we are the salt and light by the decree of the Father. If the salt has lost its savor, what then? It is ‘good for nothing’ says Christ Jesus. Only to be trampled underfoot, and the refuse pile. Do we have ears to hear?
Luke 14:34-35 (NASB) “Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned? It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
So, what now, fellow aliens and strangers, as we’re persecuted for our faith in miniscule ways now over this below-the-belt sexual issue? We folks need to be preparing for great tribulation.
Leap for joy! Rejoice, we say, rejoice.
Luke 6:21-23 (NASB) (Jesus says) “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.”
God in His mysterious omnipotence is going to mightily use this apparent ‘defeat’ for His glory. Let’s be clear of one thing: the homosexual tsunami is not God’s Plan A. His desire is for none to perish, but all to come to the saving knowledge of His holy Son, then to endure to very end as a faithful overcomer. We were saved, we’re being saved, we will be saved!
Matthew 24:13 (NASB) (Jesus says) “But the one who endures (hupomeno: abides under pressure) to the end, he will be saved.”
From the wrath to come and the lake of fire on that great and terrible day of the Lord.
Let’s look at 4 ways our great God will actually use homosexual marriage in America to grow His kingdom.
4. Fewer marriages mean greater light from the overall growing percentage of Christian marriages that endure and thrive, since marriage is God’s way to project His perfect desired relationship with His creatures.
In every culture that legalize same-sex marriage, the number of people getting married drops significantly over time. We believers in America will stand out and be able to make an even bigger impact in showing the world what a husband-wife biblical covenant can achieve.
3. Significant increased threats to religious liberties mean greater missions opportunities from our neighborhoods, to the workplace, and even Wal-mart.
European believers who are ahead of us in this historical cultural destruction routinely relate that the occasions to preach Christ’s righteousness, remain firm, yet humble, increase exponentially.
2. Escalating persecution will produce greater cost to our faith, even with lost employment, lost relationships, physical injury, prison, torture, and even death.
Living the gospel of the kingdom will now prove those who will endure these sufferings, and weed out those who will no longer be disciples. This, in turn, will naturally increase our commitment to stand firm as God’s loving grace through the Holy Spirit invades our hearts to make our light shine in the growing darkness.
1. All things work together for good, to those who love God and are called according to His purpose!
Even in a flaming, out-of-control, homosexual culture that denigrates the very life God intends. Not a few things…or most things…but all things…
Every single one without exception.
This will in a newer, deeper way eventually thrust our trustful faith in God to the very center of our life and produce an unexplainable peace by the Spirit. Suffering, like the Lord and Savior, has a way of doing just that.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord God Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, the Omni-potent One! His mighty love covers the earth.
For me and my household, I can’t wait to see what King Jesus will do for His body as things really, really heat up in America…and the anti-Christ moves one day closer to final revelation.
Like the old praise song: What a mighty God we serve…what a mighty God we serve…angels bow before Him, heaven and earth adore Him…what a mighty God we serve!
Don’t wring your hands with worry, saints!
Instead…
Leap for joy…
Hallelujah!
We’re one day closer to Home…and Him.
Maranatha, Lord…

Jim Nduruchi says
No other agenda apart from the LORD’s will stand. Satan’s agenda is known from beginning. And supporters of this great evil are doing the donkey work for their master. “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
I am therefore not worried at all, because I know who always finally wins, and as long as I live on the hallelujah side, I know I will leap for joy, and this is what really matters to me.
