From Pilgrims to Puppets in 400 Years

The gay marriage mess is really something. It is a wonderful example of a Biblical event occurring before our eyes. Usually, we don’t recognize these things for what they are. We attribute news stories to natural phenomena. That is a normal reaction, for people trained to think God is hibernating or something. Most American Christians think God is off somewhere paying very little attention to us, and that we will only interact with him after we die. We have been taught that the gifts of the Spirit ceased and that there are no more prophecies or miracles. We think we’re on our own. But we’re not. Blessings and curses continue to operate, and prophecy continues to unfold in front of us. If God weren’t still active, the Jews would have disappeared no later than 1950.

For a very long time, I’ve been telling people gay marriage was going to be the stick Satan used to beat Christians in America. I had no idea how right I was! I suppose the Holy Spirit showed me this truth without giving the details.

You would think there would be little relationship between the wellbeing of Christians and the right for homosexuals to marry. You would think we could coexist peacefully. I don’t have any hostility toward them, and I think most Christians feel the same way, and naively, we tend to assume they don’t feel hostility toward us. But that’s not how it works.

I would not have much of an emotional response if I learned that half of Americans wanted to have same-sex relations. For that matter, if the neighbors were having consensual sex with chickens, my natural inclination would be to care very little. Honestly, I don’t get all that agitated when other people do stupid things that ruin their lives. I suppose that’s selfishness, or maybe it’s just the realization that I can’t control anyone. But many homosexuals have a very strong, irrational hatred of God and religion, and there is a big anti-religion movement among them. They see us as the enemy. They’re not all that loud about it when they deal with us directly, but in their intramural communications, they’re more open about it.

Because we are seen as the enemy, there is no way for us to get along with these people. It’s not enough for us to put up with them, or even to allow gay marriage. We are now required to LIKE gay marriage and APPROVE of their activities and inclinations. If we say what the Bible has said for thousands of years–that homosexuality is a bad thing–they now rise up against us and try to take our jobs away and ostracize us. That is truly an amazing shift, and it happened over the span of about two years, which is way too fast for a natural event of this magnitude. It is clearly rooted in the supernatural.

The government, which is an inherently liberal and godless institution, now counsels some employees that silence is disapproval, and that it is unacceptable. How about that? If your gay coworker gets married to another man, in a ceremony featuring a cake with icing genitalia all over it, you are supposed to speak up in approval. How is that possible, for anyone whose religion bans homosexuality? There is just no way. This is a requirement that cannot be obeyed without sinning. It’s like telling Orthodox Jews they have to eat bacon at work. But Obama’s people are pushing it on us anyway, in spite of the First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom.

The government shouldn’t be able to do this, since the Constitution was written mainly to handcuff the government. They’re trying anyway. But most employers are private-sector, so they’re not bound by the First Amendment. One of these days, you may show up for your shift at the Holiday Inn or whatever, and you may be told that you’ve been fired because you didn’t go to a baby shower for a couple of lesbians.

I suppose eventually there will be a lot of legal tests to see if overweening pro-gay employment policies violate laws banning religious discrimination. My hope is that we will prevail, because failing that, there will be only two choices: sin egregiously or be fired. It would be comparable to the economic and social ostracism the Third Reich imposed on Jews.

I am not as fired up about politics as I used to be. Many Christians think the answer to the scary prospect of anti-Christian apartheid is to go to Tea Party rallies, wave signs, and vote for Christian candidates. I guess those are good things to do, but they work pretty close to the surface of the problem. We need to kill the root, and the root is not visible. It is supernatural. We should be cursing the gay movement in the name of Jesus. We should be speaking defeat and exposure to the spirits behind it. We should be speaking discernment, faith, deliverance, and contrition to homosexuals, and we should be developing the tools that are required to crush the spirits that cause people to have perverted desires in the first place.

If we turn back to God and develop supernaturally, we will have enough power to protect ourselves, and we might even be able to turn America and Israel around. If we don’t, the Tea Party can’t help us. Satan is reaching into the GOP’s leadership, gaining more control every month, and if the Tea Party relies on natural strength, it will also be subject to corruption. The human mind is not strong enough to resist it.

I don’t believe we need a giant movement. A minority backed by God will always prevail. One man prevented the rain from falling in Israel for 3 1/2 years. If we will just pick up our weapons and fight, we should be able to prevent the gay persecutors from gaining enough ground to make us truly miserable.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that these people would be happy to see us in ghettos and camps. They have no protection at all from demonic influence. Ordinary Germans, Austrians, Russians, Poles, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, and others happily turned Jews in for relocation. Your perky, witty, warmhearted gay buddy might wear a very different face in a future where he feels safe in expressing his true feelings. At that time, dark emotions he isn’t currently aware of may come to the surface. That’s how human nature works.

Phil Robertson’s story was shocking. Nothing he said about homosexuals was offensive. He simply disagreed with their preferences and choices. Yet an army of persecutors, to whom he posed no threat whatsoever, rose up and got him suspended from a job that made his secular employers a great deal of money. Thank God, startled Americans–some of whom were, themselves, gay–objected. And prayers went up all over the nation. And Phil won, in a rout. That was encouraging.

This month, two Christian brothers named Benham got the same treatment. They were supposed to host a home-flipping show on HGTV, but gay activists complained, and the show was canceled. Immediately afterward, Suntrust Banks, which supplies a big portion of the Benhams’ business, refused to work with them. Americans flipped out, and now Suntrust says the move came from a third party, not Suntrust itself, and they distanced themselves from it. The show is still dead, but at least we didn’t see a major banking corporation get away with blatant religious persecution. What a precedent that would set. The leap from that to a gay, anti-Christian Kristallnacht is not that great.

Things have changed so dramatically! Christianity and Judaism have been against sexual perversion for millennia, and it has never been controversial until now, but suddenly, common sense has been abandoned, and utterly ridiculous ideas are taught as gospel.

No one would have gone up to a rabbi in 1700 and tried to hand him nonsense about the Torah permitting gay sex as long as it wasn’t in a religious ritual, yet today you can find this pitiable lie all over the Internet. And many nominal Christians and Jews don’t even need that sophistry. They have concluded, on their own authority, that sex between two men is no different from other acts that are prohibited in the Torah, such as wearing blended fabrics. They say Jesus never mentioned homosexuality. He never mentioned pornography, kidnapping, pedophilia, arson, rape, or bestiality, either. I guess all those things should be permitted and celebrated in churches. The New Testament explicitly condemns homosexuality in more than one place. It is astounding that we are quibbling about something so obvious.

We used to think that bestiality and incestuous marriages were the pit the slippery slope led to, and we were right, but those things are trivial compared to the demonization of Christians and Jews. It’s unfortunate and tacky when your neighbor has sex with a goat, but it beats having him take away your job and render you unemployable. It beats losing your house, your possessions, your good name, and your ability to take care of your wife and kids. Those things are all on the table now. And we didn’t see it coming. Well, most of us didn’t.

There is really no way to reconcile. We can allow gay marriage and say it’s between gays and God. But we can’t participate in it or endorse it, and those things are now required. There is no way out for us. If you’re a Christian baker, and someone wants a cake with two men on top, you may be forced to bake it or go out of business. That is not something we can sit back and accept. Being actively involved in this sinful activity is not permitted by God. So we are going to have to find a way to defeat the people who want to force it on us. That’s all there is to it. And because spirits started the fight, we need the help of the greatest Spirit in order to win. Otherwise we’re taking a rubber knife to a gunfight.

If we want to beat back the persecution, we are going to have to accept the baptism with the Holy Spirit, submit to him, pray in tongues, and learn how to fight. Going to your non-charismatic church and speaking love, acceptance, and cowardly appeasement is not going to get the job done. These people do not want to be appeased. They want a world without people like you. And if you do what they want, you will no longer BE a person like you, so you can’t protect yourself by incremental surrender. Look how that worked in Israel.

I never thought this would be a problem of this scale. But it is.

Address this crisis in prayer daily. Enlist the help of the only one who can fix it. Then maybe we’ll be able to continue to live prosperous Christian lives in our own country.
