Millions found Jesus last week, all over the world; millions turned their faces to God and cried out in pain. It wasn’t just the brutal murders we saw of the innocent, it was something deeper, something visceral that cried out in pain at what our world has become, and the evil and darkness that was exposed. It wasn’t just the death of two young people, it was the response of the broadcast media ignoring or blaming the victims, it was the celebration of their friends, co-workers, teachers, doctors, and other professionals that reveled in the death of a young Christian man, as well as the defamation and character assassination that followed the real assassination. The average Joes and the “normies” woke up to the darkness around them and were repulsed.
The thing about demons and monsters is that they are different than us, and the differences are deeper than appearance or culture or the color of skin, the difference is inside where evil hides, and it has been exposed. The demons inside man celebrated and laughed and giggled and danced and reveled in our pain, they made snide comments, they defended their position by saying the deaths were deserved, he shouldn’t have said those words, she shouldn’t have been on that train at that time of day. They were joyous in our despair, arrogant in the lies they spew, and showed the world all they lack inside, not just compassion and empathy, but common decency, goodness, light, and love.
But something changed, something mighty shifted, finally the average Joes and the “normies” said No! Just no, never again will I lower my head as evil runs free; never again will I keep my mouth shut in the face of such darkness. The people hit their limit as their souls cried out for something good and pure to pull them from the muck of our present society. And then they began to respond and show their shock and revulsion; they began to long for justice, for purity, for righteousness, for the light and salvation promised by God.
I sat back in awe as I saw it happen, wondering if the change was finally occurring, if Jesus was close to returning, and the answer I received was yes! Jesus is waking the masses, He’s touching their souls, He’s raising their eyes to the Lord, He’s pulling His sheep out of the pit of debauchery and the cult of death that has been running things for so long. And then in shock and righteous anger, the people began fighting back, not with fists or swords or anger, but with the power of what is right and just and true, and they discovered they aren’t as few as the world had been insisting, they are many, millions as a matter of fact, millions and millions.
I knew the world was changing, and changing rapidly, I didn’t know it would take the deaths of innocent and kind people. And I was amazed as the masses began to take up their weapons, their weapons being truth and goodness, pain and the fear of God, and the determination not to be like those celebrating or ignoring the deaths of simple people just trying to spread the word or escape a war. And the tool they used was the same tool the revelers used, the Internet and their voice.
Hundreds (if not thousands soon) have been fired from their taxpayer-funded jobs, from their jobs as authority figures over our children, from their jobs as gatekeepers of our health, from their jobs in the military, police forces, and in the media. The people, shocked, in pain, and aghast at what they were witnessing began exposing the darkness to all, to employers and churches, to clinics and hospitals, to government entities, to the world, and demanded change. They stated unequivocally that those people have no power over them anymore, and never again will they bow down and stay silent in the face of lies and deception and abject evil.
I don’t know what will happen next, but I suspect that the shocks, the exposure of darkness, will continue, faster and faster, and more people will lift their eyes to the heavens and pray for Jesus to return. I never thought I would see what I’ve seen in the last week, and for me it has been horrible, soul piercing, and littered with nightmares, but the light of God has burned into the consciousness of millions, and I know Charlie would be overjoyed to see it.
Remember the fruits of the Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control, and keep seeking.
