Isaiah 1: 7 - Your country lies desolate; your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence foreigners devour your land”...
I hear people saying all the time that we need warriors not sheep. More blood, less tears. Lots of words. I have heard the empty words of those who would lead us. Promises and predictions that never come true. Spoken with fire but without action. Words meant to motivate but not to activate.
People willing to say the tough things, yet no one is willing to do the tough things anymore.
Well I am.
“You are not redeemed with corruptible things… but with the precious blood of Christ” 1 Peter 1:18-19
We don’t need a revolution; we need a revival. Revival brings revolution. It revives the faith that provides the strength. Strength men once held but gave away. It is long past time to renew the fighting spirit of strong Christian men. Time to adorn them in the Armor of God and arm them with the Sword of the Spirit.
Darkness has dominated for far too long. Men have remained silent while the darkness crept across our nation. Fearful men allowed evil to plant roots in our society. While weak men have allowed those roots to grow through generations. It cannot be uprooted and expelled without a divinely inspired revolution.
It is time. Time to push aside the weak of character, the talkers with no action. It is time to stop listening and start acting.
We will save America or we will die trying.
I am ready to die for what I believe. I am willing. Why are so many others unwilling?
Why are so many who call themselves men so willing to give their lives to evil. Submitting to the distractions meant to do exactly what they are meant to do. Weaken us.
Men are supposed to be the leaders, the providers, the protectors. Yet weak and fearful men remain silent. The devil loves silence, it allows him to concentrate on his work undisturbed by the light.
What happened to men?
Where are they? Why is no one standing against this evil?
People want to say that we need more lions, I disagree. Lions cannot lead. What we need is a leader. A guide to lead the sheep away from the wolves. A shepherd.
Sheep will be sheep. People have always been sheep. What we need are men of character, integrity, love, and most importantly, grace.
We don’t need to crush the wolves; we simply need to drive them out. They have no power that is not based in fear. When that fear is removed, the flock will be able to see the narrow path again and the wolves will starve.
The wolves on the left cannot win with their policies. Their platform is broken and the people see it. The left can only win by demonizing the right. They can only win when they convince people that conservatives are truly evil. So they create narratives and draw comparisons to past evil like Hitler and the Nazis.
The sheep have become more willing to commit violence and regurgitate propaganda. They have been trained to spread hate because they believe they are doing the right and good thing.
And there is out hope. The people want what is good. They have just been tricked into believing evil is good and good is evil.
The sheep are not evil, they are deceived.
Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”
The reversal or morality. The left’s greatest tool because it convinces the people in their hearts that they are right. That they are fighting evil. Minds can be changed but hearts must be softened.
Hate is not a useful tool in our arsenal. The left wields it in the same way the devil wields his forked tongue. Convincing the people that hate can be used for good. Dictators in the past have done the same thing. Controlling the people like pawns, directing them to hate. Not because it is good for the people, but because it is good for the dictator.
Isaiah 5:18 “ Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, who draw sin as with cart ropes,”...
The left has subverted the sheep into believing that Christianity is evil. American flags are racist. That hate is good.
They have convinced the flock that their pursuit of personal happiness is the most important thing. Even if that misguided view of happiness always leads to misery when it comes to fruition. Yet it makes the flock easier to control. All evil needs is a carrot, a stick, and a string and the people will go in whatever direction the carrot is in. It is a method of control disguised as kindness or compassion. You are feeding the flock after all, aren’t you?
Those sheep will only follow until the carrot is removed.
Isaiah 5:24 “Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble, and as dry grass sinks down in the flame, so their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom go up like dust”
Sheep guided by a good shepherd do not run as we saw in Butler, Pa.
We do not need lions. We do not need violence. That is what the left does. It works for them because they are guided by the forces of evil in this world.
In fact it only plays into the hands of the wolves. It helps to validate their narratives. They take violent video clips and frame them to attack whatever group they want the sheep to hate in that particular news cycle.
We need love and grace. The sheep are not to blame. The wolves are our enemy. We cannot beat them with violence. They are much better at that than we are. Not tougher, just better. Any violence emboldens the wolves and drives the sheep from the shepherd.
Instead the sheep must be lead away from the wolves with love and grace. Soon after the wolves will starve on their own and begin to eat each other. We must convince the sheep with character. Lead them with integrity and provide them with grace.
Grace must be extended to those sheep who choose to question the wolves’ motivations. As they find themselves standing in the middle of a field, newly ideologically homeless. Grace must be extended or they will be lost in the wilderness forever. We do not need people to withdraw. We need them to engage.
Men are meant to lead. Yet so many have abandoned their principles for so long they cannot be strong leaders. Reinventing themselves in the image of whatever can make the most money or gain the most acclaim. Whatever it is they crave, false idols. God has made the path, we need not reinvent it, only follow it.
We do not need a man-made revolution. We need a man-made revival that will bring about a spiritual revolution.
The only one I fear is God. I have no fear of the wolves. They can only take what the world has given me. They cannot take what God has given me.
I refuse to give up. There is too much at stake.
They call me Mags. I fight for freedom. For my five children and their children one day. I will stand in the gap. I will take the hate. I will take the arrows, the slurs, and the abuse. I cannot do it alone. We must stand together in unity or we will continue to fall separately.
It is time to reclaim the flock from the lies of the evil one. It is time to offer truth to the deceived and grace to the waking.
We cannot do this alone. We need strong men of good character. We need patience not violence, grace not judgment, love not hate.
Isaiah 5:16-17 “ Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”
We do not need lions. We need shepherds to lead a revival. We need shepherds to bring the flock home. Shepherds will save this great and divinely planted nation from the evil that has been allowed to subvert it.
