Reaching Out

“For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.” (1 Peter 1:23-25)

In various parts of the world, the Christian message is outlawed and those who speak it are persecuted or even executed. Communists/Atheists countries do not want Yeshua’s message that God is supreme over government or men. Islamists countries reject the Bible’s teaching that God became a man, the Messiah, Yeshua; that God is three persons in one inseparable God. Israeli Jews object to Yeshua being the Messiah and His teaching regarding the Hebrew scriptures. All nations that prohibit openly sharing Yeshua’s message, fear that their populous will “convert” and no longer follow those in power or adhere to their preferred religion(s). In these closed countries, and others, there is a Spiritual battle against Yeshua’s message, which is opposed by Satan’s lies and darkness.

Nevertheless, the light of the good news of Yeshua is reaching more and more people and they are accepting His message of love, forgiveness, and freedom from sin and death. The Word of God is piercing the darkness, reaching the seekers and setting captives free world-wide. Israel has been as closed as any Islamist nation to the Good news of Yeshua Messiah. In recent years, many Jews have learned the Yeshua is a Jew, and that Jews don’t stop being Jews, by accepting Yeshua as their Messiah. The Chinese don’t stop being Chinese, by following Yeshua. Yeshua didn’t call people to overthrow their governments, but to accept God and follow Yeshua’s teachings. 

I’m not suggesting that becoming a true Christian will not alter ones entire world view, lifestyle, attitude and life purpose, it will, but in every good, pleasing and righteous  way. America is an example of Judeo-Christian benefits and greatness. Recent decades of decline in U.S. standards are due to the rejection of those values and truths by certain segments of the population. 

Gen Z is now coming to faith and is becoming the most Christian generation in America. The Spiritual battle for America is being waged and seen in the hearts, minds, and actions of those to whom the Gospel message has reached. It is rising, growing and springing up into a fervent, congregation of Spirit-filled Believers in Yeshua Messiah. This is God’s doing an no forces on earth or under the earth can stop it.
