A Call to Battle - The Great Reset

 

A Call to Battle - The Great Reset   (October 6, 2021)

God has a great and wonderful plan for mankind. That plan is documented in the Bible from the creation of man to mankind’s ultimate destiny and the new heavens and new earth. Much of that plan is given to us by the prophets and prophecies of the Bible. In this plan, we find hope, comfort, peace, joy. It is important to know the prophets and the prophecies of the Bible.

But there is another plan for mankind. This is Satan’s plan to “be like God” and establish his kingdom on earth.

[Isa 14:12 ESV] "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!

[Isa 14:13 ESV] You said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north;

[Isa 14:14 ESV] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'

Satan can not create so his plan is a corruption of God’s plan. If we know God’s plan, then we can recognize Satan’s evil distortion of it. He is an evil liar and deceiver who comes only to kill, steal, and destroy.

[Jhn 10:10 ESV] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

Part of God’s plan is to let Satan’s plan play out to some extent as God tests mankind to expose where man’s loyalty is placed. Is it with God and His plans and ways? Or is it with the ways of the world and man’s fallen nature? We see this played out in the History of Israel over and over. These days we are seeing this strategy being played out in all the world as we enter into the times of the birth pains of Messiah. A study of Mathew 24 reveals this.

Where we are in God’s timeline – Matt 24:3-14

The beginning of the birth pains.

[Mat 24:3 ESV] As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"

[Mat 24:4 ESV] And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray.

We are living in times of great deception.

[Mat 24:5 ESV] For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray.

[Mat 24:6 ESV] And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

[Mat 24:7 ESV] For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

This is the condition of our world today.

[Mat 24:8 ESV] All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

 

The birth pains of the coming of Jesus as King of kings have begun.

[Mat 24:9 ESV] "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name's sake.

[Mat 24:10 ESV] And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another.

[Mat 24:11 ESV] And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.

[Mat 24:12 ESV] And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.

We are living in days of trouble, hatred of Jews and Christians, betrayals, false teachings, great lawlessness, terrible moral conditions, and love in the world is growing cold, being replaced by anger and hate.

[Mat 24:13 ESV] But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

The faithful must endure through it all for there is great work yet to be done.

[Mat 24:14 ESV] And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Before the end, there is going to be a great ingathering throughout all nations. This is the task and challenge set before us today.

What is happening in our world these days is God allowing Satan’s plan to play out to some extent. This is an hour of trial on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. From this point on the testing just gets worse finally leading to the great test of the seven years of the Great Tribulation. The good news is that those that have accepted the salvation to be found in believing in Jesus the Messiah will at some point be caught up with the Lord and be spared from the great testing of the years of the great tribulation that will be occurring on the earth.

[Rev 3:10 NKJV] "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

[1Th 4:13-18 NKJV] (13) But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. (14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. (15) For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive [and] remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. (16) For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. (17) Then we who are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. (18) Therefore comfort one another with these words.

But for now, we are seeing Satan’s plan for the world and America being played out right before our eyes. The current activity of the plan has even been documented in “The Great Reset”, “Agenda 21”, and other plans, legislation, executive orders, and actions set forth by governments, the UN, other corrupted agencies like the WHO, the CDC, and the World Banking system. These plans deal with all areas of society, government/military, health, education, arts/entertainment, economics/banking/money, religion, family, courts/legal systems/law enforcement, and the media. Evil and demonically controlled leaders have infiltrated all of these areas. The current leaders in America’s government and their policies (and it is not Biden), the COVID virus and the forced vaccines, the lockdowns, border policies, military decisions, CRT and education policies, commerce control, gun control, untrustworthy and lying media, fear-mongering, terrorist and military activity especially in the Middle East, the Issues in and with China, and a host of other current events and situations are all a part of Satan’s plan. The end agenda is to establish a one-world government, population control, total control over the people, indoctrination at an early age, promotion of terrible morals, destruction of the family, promotion of satanic values and religion, and control of all media. In short, to establish Satan’s kingdom on the earth. Christians need to know these plans to be the effective restrainers they are called to be.

This is one article that gives some insight into the current activities of “The Great Reset” agenda. https://sociable.co/government-and-policy/timeline-great-reset-agenda-event-201-pandemic-2020/

Christians must be aware of these plans of the enemy, not become victims of these plans, and firmly stand against them. There is a great spiritual war going on right now and like it or not, we are in the middle of it. The battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Our weapons are spiritual and mighty in God for pulling down these evil plans and strongholds that Satan is attempting to build in our world today. We put on the shield of faith and take up our spiritual sword, the word of God, speaking it out boldly in prayer, proclamations, and declarations to restrain the enemy and all his evil plans.

[Eph 6:12 ESV] (12) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

[2Co 10:3-6 NKJV] (3) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. (4) For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, (5) casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, (6) and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

[Eph 6:16-18 NKJV] (16) above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; (18) praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--

Born again, Spirit-filled believers are the restraining force that are holding back these evil plans until God says it is time to remove the restrainer and allow Satan’s plan to proceed into the final stage of testing that is the seven years of the Great Tribulation. It is time for the true Church to have no fear nor be dismayed, stand strong, carry out great exploits, and be courageous “for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished”.

[2Th 2:7 ESV] (7) For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

[Dan 11:32 NKJV] "Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out [great exploits].

[Jos 10:25 NASB20] Joshua then said to them, "Do not fear or be dismayed! Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all your enemies with whom you fight."

[2Ch 32:7 NASB20] "Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for [the One] with us is greater than [the one] with him.

[Jos 1:9 NASB20] "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified nor dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

[1Ch 28:20 NASB20] Then David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and courageous, and act; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.
