Promises, Promises

This generation will soon learn that the promises of man are worthless. America and the nations of the world have been playing like children with monopoly money. They lived as they pleased with their monopoly money and now have accumulated debts (promises) they cannot pay. They did this because they are godless and deceived. The chief characteristic of godlessness is pride which manifests itself in arrogance.

This generation is like a teenager who threw a grand party and put it on their parents credit card. Only this time it is the parents who threw the party and the children who are left with the bill.

The chief architect of this mess is the liar and the father of lies. The one who came to steal, kill and destroy and has had six thousand years of practice. The one who decided he was too good for Heaven. A created being who decided he wanted to be like the Creator, which is as irrational a concept as one could imagine.

If this generation would turn to God, He would show them the way out of this mess. The trouble is, they have thrown off the precepts of God. They are so lost they do not know how to turn back to God. To do so they would have to admit their guilt and they are loathed to do so. They are like the proverbial lemmings and will continue to march toward the edge of the cliff. They are senseless and must follow the inclinations of their deceived hearts with the evil one whispering in their ear, “march on.”

It is terribly ironic that this situation is all told in the Word of God. It was all foretold hundreds of years before. It is not as if this whole mess is a unique circumstance. It is really just the continuing story of mankind who has rejected God; mankind who goes from war to war because of this; who today is simply at the end of the line.

Nevertheless, there is a people who have put their faith, hope and trust in God alone; A people, water washed, blood washed, filled with the Holy Spirit and walking in the Light of Christ Jesus. This people will be vindicated by the God they serve. They will be saved from the wrath of God, promised in His Word.

Today, God is saying to His people:

Go, my people, enter your rooms

And shut the doors behind you;

Hide yourselves for a little while until His wrath is passed by.

See, the Lord is coming out of His dwelling

To punish the people of the earth for their sins.

The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her;

She will conceal her slain no longer. (Isaiah 26:20)

Yet, today, by the unfathomable and limitless grace of God,

Anyone and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord

Will be saved. (Joel 2:32), (Romans 10:13), Hallelujah!
