In the Old Testament one leader, Caleb, stands out as looking forward in faith despite huge challenges, even while having to listen to his own complaining tribe. He never let Moses, Joshua, Aaron, nor God down. The Bible says that he “wholeheartedly followed the Lord, the God of Israel” (Joshua 14:14). Then at the age of 80, he volunteered to fight the dreaded Anakin giants in Hebron and conquer that land. It is amazing that this special area remained outside Israel’s control for so long. After all it was the special place where Abraham buried Sarah and where Issac buried Rebecca. Even though old and not part of the top 3, God had appointed him for this conquest. Despite his age and the dangers involved, Caleb did not let the history of the Anakin keep him from overcoming them.
He in a way reflects the boldness and willingness of leaders like Donald Trump. Our nation is being darkened by many threats including demonic spirits that are turning large areas against God, the family and our nation’s survival. Even the head of the FBI admits that we have a serious internal problem that could compromise our entire infrastructure including the electric grid and our safe water sources. He warns that China is behind this and yet we are allowing thousands of Chinese men and women of military age through our porous borders.
Jesus said, “Remember Lot’s Wife.” Lot’s family is characteristic of a lot of American families. They had a lot because they lived in a very fertile area and within a rich city. But this was Sodom whose name we derive the word “sodomy which is a form of anal rape.” The Word of God is clear about homosexuality as stated in I Cor. 7:2, “But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.” Lot had two daughters that grew up in this environment and this came into play after their mother looked back on the city when told not to and was thus turned into a pillar of salt. They had sexual intercourse with their father after getting him drunk.
Most suggest that the lesson is not to turn back, but to always look forward. This is true especially in a rapidly changing world where evil is growing, and the Lord’s return is eminent. But there is another side to this warning. I believe a more important message is not to look back on evil. Do not play with it in your mind, your heart, nor your actions. Evil is powerful as it can affect us even as we grow in Christ. The Holy Spirit can transform all parts of your life if you submit completely to the Lord and set our minds on things above.
Our society and especially the Democratic party is looking backwards too much and letting an evil legacy affect the youth and even domestic policy. The DEI mentality or the focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity is driving CEO’s and other leaders everywhere to focus on mixing evil with the good and the young and innocent with the perverse and deranged. Those who truly worship and follow God and those who have conservative traditions are being rejected and punished. Creative talents are being wasted trying to generate greater sexual desires and greater perversity. And it is sad to see Christians watching or talking in an exciting way about some of these wicked creatives. Whether it be music, art, or narratives many youthful Christians are being compromised. This recent video reveals a lot about this seduction:
We need a Caleb to conquer the Anakin of the deep state and perverse cultural trends. And we need pastors that are willing and able to forwarn people of the supernatural battles ahead and to motivate them to keep in prayer and share the Gospel. God has given us Signs to mark this time history and the book trilogy Cosmic Crossroad Count outlines many of these “unseen” or “unregistered” Signs given to us by the Lord.
