“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children [son].” Isaiah 66:7-8, KJV
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:14, KJV
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6, KJV
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21, KJV
“And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” Luke 1:31, KJV
“And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” Luke 2:7, KJV
“And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” Revelation 12:5, KJV
It is a given that the vast majority of people who participate on social networks are lurkers. They rarely — if ever — like or share posts that they enjoy. Even fewer are those people who take the time to actually comment on a post. Most folks just silently browse posts in the background, never making their presence known through the aforementioned actions.
However, while it may not be their intention, their lack of participation may actually discourage the person who has worked so hard to create, publish and distribute the posts. The truth is that the OP — original poster — may even think that his or her hard work for the Lord is having little to no effect on the lives of others. This may lead them to eventually give up, and stop posting altogether.
What a shame this would be. So if you don’t want this to happen, please be considerate by occasionally liking, sharing and commenting on posts that you particularly enjoy. Thanks so much! As we read in the Epistle to the Hebrews:
“But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” Hebrews 13:16, KJV
“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts . . . Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:1-3, 7, KJV
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10, KJV
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12, KJV
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44, KJV
“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil . . . Not as Cain, WHO WAS OF THAT WICKED ONE, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.” 1 John 3:8, 12, KJV
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy HIM THAT HAD THE POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS, THE DEVIL; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15, KJV
“For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.” Exodus 12:23, KJV
“Neither murmur ye, as some of them [ancient Israelites] also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.” 1 Corinthians 10:10, KJV
“And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.” Revelation 9:11, KJV
Note: “Abaddon” and “Apollyon” mean “destroyer” or “destruction”. Thus, he is an evil, destroying spirit which ascends out of the Bottomless Pit.
Whether some of you realize it or not, our nation has been slip sliding away for literally decades. However, the slide has been so slow, so gradual, and so subtle, that it wasn’t until about halfway through the decade of the 2010s that a lot of people really began to wake up to what has been going on. However, sadly, by that time, it was already too late. Serious damage had already been done, and the victory had already been won. What has been going on since then basically amounts to mopping up exercises and tying up the loose ends. And boy are they doing a good job of it!
So exactly what am I talking about?
Well, do you remember a few decades ago — back in the 1970s, actually — when the LGBTQ+ crowd began claiming that they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives as they please without harassment or discrimination?
Fast-forward fifty years, and you will see one long history of continuous lies, as they aggressively advanced their radical, extreme agenda.
Then came gender reassignment surgery.
Then came renegade, liberal circuit court judges who repeatedly overturned the will of the people.
Then came renegade, liberal state legislatures who likewise overturned the will of the people.
Then came civil unions.
Then on June 26, 2015 came nationwide legalization of same-sex “marriage” by mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States, despite the majority of the American people being opposed to it.
Then came openly gay or lesbian bishops, pastors, priests, politicians, actors, sports figures, and everyone in between.
Then came same-sex union blessings in some of the churches.
Then came adoption of normal, healthy children by same-sex couples.
Then came law suits against Christians and Conservatives who follow their hearts and their faith, and who oppose the LGBT lifestyle.
Then came library books which openly promote the LGBT lifestyle.
Then came gender-neutral bathrooms.
Then came drag queens in our public schools during children’s story hour.
Then came teaching LGBT history in the classroom.
Then came liberal parents who encourage their children to act and dress like the opposite sex.
Then came hormone injections, puberty-blocking drugs in young children and double mastectomies on adolescent girls in order to alter their natural-born physiology so that they could appear outwardly the way that they were being made to feel inwardly by misguided adults and parents.
Then came a gender-neutral option on birth certificates.
Now they promote their ungodly lifestyle in every area of the entertainment and mass media industries where they possibly can, and constantly shove it in our faces. It is inescapable; unless one goes and lives in a cave.
Now, in the latest news, according to an article in The Washington Times, some liberal-minded schools aren’t happy with just offering LGBTQ+ books in their school libraries. Now they want to FORCE young children with impressionable minds to read them, whether they like it or not.
Yes, but of course, as they said, they just wanted to be left alone. Right? If you believe that nonsense, then you are seriously deceived!
Thankfully, some parents are fighting back and taking it to the US Supreme Court. If the justices accept the case, let’s hope that the God-fearing justices on the bench will do what is right in the sight of God by giving these brave parents a victory.
But concerning the LGBTQ+ agenda, well I say this:
What about us? What about our right to live in a Bible-based, God-fearing society which honors and obeys God’s natural order of things? How much longer will God endure this madness and rebellion against His holy Laws? When will His patience finally run out? When will His judgments begin to fall on the wicked who mock Him everyday, and who cast His Word to the ground? As the Apostle John wrote some two thousand years ago:
“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1 John 5:19, KJV
If John were alive today, oh how he would shudder!
Article: “Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: A Warning to Modern Society”:
By the way, when we come to Jesus Christ and are reborn in the Spirit, the Scriptures make it very clear that we should undergo a spiritual and mental change in our lives, and that we should in fact become NEW CREATURES in Jesus Christ. We should NOT remain the same, living our same old life style, and living in our same old sins. That means that people who belong to the LGBTQ crowd should NOT continue practicing their sexual deviancy. Here is Scriptural proof:
