Jeremiah 9:13-16
13 And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
Above is a description of the lost 10 tribes of Israel, to this day have never returned to the promised land.
As we know, Israel failed to overtake all those in Canaan land that practiced the worshipping of false gods. It is obvious today that we still have these same practices. Consider the opioid epidemic. Mexico is now manufacturing their own opioids and smuggling them into the the U.S. As I understand it (according to the Word of God) mind-altering drugs contribute to the underworld of “witchcraft.”
Today we can see Galatians 5:19-21 permeating, growing, and very substantial within the borders of our own country. It reads, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Why does this seem to have free reign in our own society? Are we just sitting back and letting it increase?
Deuteronomy 6:17-19
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the Lord: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers.
19 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the Lord hath spoken.
We know that the adversarial powers that be are spiritual resistance against the truth, and are not of the true kingdom of God through Christ Jesus. "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
(Ephesians 6:12)
How do we do this if we claim to be grafted into the true vine?
Satan has his own council that isn’t God’s council. Where has God's council retreated to? Are we claiming salvation and carrying a weapon with no ammunition? What are your thoughts?
