美國第二次革命/內戰 51 
(摘自雷克喬納(Rick Joyner) word for the week, Week51, 2019)

在我們的未來隱約可見到另一個重大的衝突。當我因為2018年12月的那場夢開始書寫這個系列時,看起來我們正朝著國內日益不和的方向前進,但不像內戰那麼糟糕。緊張局勢在短短一年中就變得如此緊張,以至於現在很多人說內戰是不可避免的。是的,但我們還有時間降低他的嚴重性。不管情況多麼糟糕,我們將會藉著我們的共和國恢復而挺過去,我們將比以往任何時候都更好,更強。

我們絕不能失去希望。我們必須利用我們擁有的時間在我們對未來的願景裡成長,它最終會非常明亮。我們在一場為了我們未來的鬥爭裡,而且是對抗試圖想要統治整個世界的強大勢力。當我們贏得勝利時,我們將能夠幫助許多人在它們自己的鬥爭中對抗這極端的專制統治。

試圖統治世界的極端專制統治透過兩股主要的全球主義力量進行:馬克思主義/社會主義和激進伊斯蘭教。在一些地方,這兩股力量合作,使它們成為更大的威脅。我們必須了解這些力量及透過實現它們的理想“統一”來摧毀單個國家的戰略,這些理想與美利堅合眾國所建立的理想直接衝突。美利堅共和國一直是反對他們的堡壘,而且必須繼續如此。

毫無疑問地,蘇聯的失敗和瓦解是馬克思主義的重大挫折,但就像啟示錄中的野獸,"致命的頭部傷口"似乎已經癒合,再次恢復生機。人們可能會認為,像委內瑞拉這樣接受馬克思主義的國家的貧困和破壞,會阻止任何人接受馬克思主義。當被問到最後幾天的跡象時,主說的第一件事是"不要被欺騙"(見路加福音21:8)。我們可以預見欺騙在這個時代會越來越強大,我們絕不能低估欺騙的力量。

一個半世紀的實踐,馬克思主義者變得善於說服年輕人和易受影響的人。我們的學校、媒體、藝術和娛樂現在都充斥著這樣動機的人。他們學會了如何推翻阻礙他們前進的政府和機構。他們現在非常善於接管國家,儘管他們無法不透過貧困和破壞來運行一個國家這件事是很明顯的。

令人震驚的是,在馬克思主義摧毀美國共和國戰略的四十五個目標中,有四十四個被認為已經完成。他們有辦法被阻止嗎? 絕對可以。馬克思主義/社會主義是如此膚淺和違背理性,只要經過一點教育就能使其原則崩壞。然而,我們現在的新生代,不是沒有受過教育就是被灌輸想法。他們不是被教導如何思考,而是思考什麼。馬克思主義者稱那些習慣盲目追隨他們的人為"有用的白癡"是有原因的。

作為一種宗教,激進的伊斯蘭教是不同的。他最終會在與馬克思主義試圖合作的地方吞併他們。馬克思主義/社會主義和激進伊斯蘭(包括伊斯蘭教法)都與美國憲法存在根本衝突,不能與美國憲法共存。對美國共和國和世界上幾乎所有其他共和國的這個威脅,使我們自由的基礎被馬克思主義/社會主義的攻擊變得如此衰微 導致我們很容易被激進的伊斯蘭主義者所攻擊。

那麼,我們能做什麼?儘管我們絕不能低估敵人欺騙的力量,但我們也不應低估主的真理使人民獲得自由的力量。最重要的是,我們必須堅定地在祂的福音真理中成長變得更強大。在這個時代的最後,災難的開始,我們必須堅定不移地去做耶穌教導我們的三件事:1)站出來,2)仰望,3)歡欣鼓舞。

我們站出來,因為我們知道我們相信什麼和為什麼相信。我們挺身而出,拒絕妥協我們的信念,不管壓力或後果。誠然,邪惡要想得勝,唯一需要的就是良善無所作為。在我們時代盛行的罪惡是因為那些知道真相的人站出來支持他。我們不能再退縮了。我們現在必須站出來。

我們仰望,並專注在誰是在寶座上高於一切規則,權威和統治。彼得只要把注意力放在耶穌身上,就可以在暴風雨的海水上行走。當他看著雨水時,他開始下沉。信心不僅僅是對結果的信念—而是注視著誰在寶座上。

我們歡欣鼓舞,是因為我們已經知道故事的結局—主將到來,祂的旨意將成就 在地如同在天。我們一天比一天更接近實現世界上最好的消息—祂國度降臨的好消息。

正如詩篇16:11告訴我們的,在祂的面前有滿足的喜樂。如果我們住在祂的同在裡, 我們將不禁充滿喜樂。如果我們失去了我們的喜樂,那麼我們不知何故偏離了祂。回去!永遠不要失去我們的喜樂!用它作為我們離祂有多近的晴雨錶。


The Second American Revolutionary/Civil War, Part 51
Rick Joyner

Another great conflict is looming in our future. When I started writing this series after the dream I had in December 2018, it looked like we were headed for increasing discord in the country, but not as bad as a civil war. The tensions have grown so much in just one year that now many are saying civil war is inevitable. It is, but there is still time to reduce its severity. Regardless of how bad it gets, we will make it through with our Republic restored, and we will be better and stronger than ever.

We must never lose hope. We must use the time that we have to grow strong in our vision for the future. It will ultimately be very bright. We are in a battle for our future, and it is against the powerful forces now seeking to dominate the world. When we win, we will be able to help many in their own battle against this ultimate tyranny.

The ultimate tyranny seeking to dominate the world is coming through the two main forces of globalism: Marxist/socialism and radical Islam. In some places, these two are cooperating, making them an even greater threat. We must understand these forces and their strategy for destroying individual nations by bringing about a “unity of conformity” to their ideals—ones that are in direct conflict with the ideals that the American Republic was built upon. The American Republic has been such a bulwark against them, and must continue to be so.

No doubt the failure and collapse of the USSR was a major setback for Marxism, but like the beast in the Book of Revelation, the “fatal head wound” seems to have been healed, and it has come roaring back to life. One would think that the impoverishment and devastation of the nations that embrace Marxism, such as Venezuela, would dissuade anyone from embracing it. The first thing The Lord said when asked about the signs of the last days was “Don’t be deceived” (see Luke 21:8). We can expect deception to grow stronger in these times, and we must not underestimate the power of deception.

With a century and a half of practice, Marxists are adept at persuading the young and impressionable. Our schools, the media, and the arts and entertainment are now saturated with those who are a part of this agenda. They have learned well how to bring down the governments and institutions that stand in their way. They are now very good at taking over countries, though it is obvious they still can’t run one without impoverishing and destroying it.

Shockingly, of the forty-five goals of Marxist strategy for destroying the American Republic, forty-four are now considered to have been accomplished. Can they be stopped? Absolutely. Marxism/socialism is so shallow and counter to reason that it quickly collapses with even a little education on its principles. However, we now have emerging generations that were not educated, but rather indoctrinated. They are not taught how to think, but what to think. There is a reason why Marxists call those conditioned to blindly follow them “useful idiots.”

As a religion, radical Islam is different. It will end up swallowing up Marxism in places where they try to collaborate. Both Marxism/socialism and radical Islam (which embraces Sharia law), are in fundamental conflict with the U.S. Constitution and cannot coexist with it. The threat to the American Republic, and virtually every other republic in the world, is that the foundations of our liberty have become so weakened from the attacks of Marxism/socialism that we become vulnerable to radical Islamists.

So, what can we do? Though we must not underestimate the enemy’s power of deception, neither should we underestimate the power of The Lord’s truth to set people free. Above all, we must be resolute in growing stronger in the truth of His gospel. We must remain resolute in doing the three things Jesus gave us instructions to do in the unfolding of the tribulation at the end of this age: 1) stand up, 2) look up, and 3) rejoice.

We stand up by knowing what we believe and why. We stand up by refusing to compromise our convictions regardless of the pressure or consequences. It is true that the only thing evil needs in order to prevail is for the good to do nothing. The evil that is prevailing in our time is because those who know the truth have not stood for it. We cannot retreat any further. We must stand now.

We look up and keep our focus on the One who is on the throne above all rule and authority and dominion. Peter could walk on the stormy waters as long as he kept his attention on Jesus. When he looked at the stormy water he began to sink. Faith is not just belief in an outcome—it is seeing the One on the throne.

We rejoice because we already know the end of the story—the King is going to come and His will is going to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Every day we get closer to the fulfillment of the best news the world will ever hear—the good news of His coming kingdom.

As we are told in Psalm16:11, in His presence is the fullness of joy. If we abide in His presence, we cannot help but to be filled with joy. If we have lost our joy, then we have somehow drifted from Him. Go back! Let’s not ever lose our joy! Use it as a barometer of how close we are to Him.
