07, 2013, 6:33 a.m. – the Lord Jesus woke me with the song “He Keeps Me Singing,” and then when I
sat down to have my time with him, he put the song “As the Deer” in my mind. Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read
Jeremiah 33 (NIV): http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2033&version=NIV
I Will Hide My Face
The
word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in
the court of the guard: “Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who
formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer
you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. For
thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and
the houses of the kings of Judah that were torn down to make a defense against
the siege mounds and against the sword: They are coming in to fight against the
Chaldeans and to fill them with the dead bodies of men whom I shall strike down
in my anger and my wrath, for I have hidden my face from this city because of
all their evil.
The unsearchable things I did not know that the Lord Jesus
has been showing me for the past seven years is all the evil and wickedness
that exists within our government and with their allies; all the lies and
deceptions; all the fakery and play acting; and how all this is leading up to
this rule of the beast during the time spoken about in the prophecies of
scripture, in particular in the Book of Revelation. I would never have known
these things if the Lord Jesus and Father God and Holy Spirit had not chosen to
reveal them to me, for I was ignorant of how utterly wicked the government of
these United States of America truly is. I used to put hand over heart and
pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic for which this flag stood
without thought to even consider what I was doing, because I was taught this
from early childhood. I believed what I heard and saw in the news. I thought
the Republicans were the good guys, and I thought our nation was a Christian
nation.
Then the Lord opened my eyes and he let me see a glimpse of
the reality of what is truly going on in this nation and with our government
and with their actions worldwide. And, it was and is a horrible sight to
behold. The Lord has shown me the atrocities committed by these United States,
all in the name of being a Christian nation or a democracy or in the name of
being humanitarian. An illustration I picked up from a movie was of a guy who
knocked squirrels out of a tree and then he saved them, but he was heralded as
a hero because no one knew he first knocked them out before he saved them.
Well, that is what our government has been doing across the world and for some
time now. First we create the chaos, disaster, uprising, etc., and then we go
in as the hero to save the day, but we are really taking them over. And, we
blame someone else for what we did.
Have you noticed how many of these types of scenarios there
have been in just the past seven years? Have you noticed the seemingly domino
effect of these uprisings across the Middle East and Africa, and how many of
them end with overthrows of the government and with a transitional government
set up by the international community? Have you noticed the continuity and
consistency of language in these news articles about such incidences? The “international
community” basically means “The New World Order.” A transitional government is
the New World Order. The existing government and the rebels are the New World
Order. If governments don’t cooperate with the “international community” they
pay the consequences, i.e. if they do not bow to the beast they will pay with their
lives or with the lives of their people.
And, when they speak of “rebels,” many times over the Lord
has shown me that they are really speaking of followers of Jesus Christ who are
giving testimony to their faith and the true gospel, so they are being killed
by our government and their allies. And, yet we blindly wave our flags and
support our troops and think our government is what it claims to be and that
what they tell us is going on in these other nations is the truth. And, we
believe the government-controlled media, and we think they are telling us the
truth. But, what if it is all a lie; a clever deception by a very evil and
wicked government? God sees and he knows, and he has hidden his face from
Washington, D.C. because of all its wickedness. And, he will bring judgment on
our nation for the wickedness of our leaders, but also because his church in
America, overall, has forsaken her first love and has turned to follow after
the gods of humankind. So, he will bring her back to himself through judgment.
Health and Healing
Behold,
I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them
abundance of prosperity and security. I will restore the fortunes of Judah and
the fortunes of Israel, and rebuild them as they were at first. I will cleanse
them from all the guilt of their sin against me, and I will forgive all the
guilt of their sin and rebellion against me. And this city shall be to me a
name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall
hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall fear and tremble because of
all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it.
The Lord will first of all send judgment on our nation, but
then he will revive his church and bring about the salvation of many people, by
his grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. No human efforts can save our nation
from the judgment of Almighty God. Our nation has been given over to this New
World Order (or the beast), yet we are not to physically resist this takeover.
Our battle is against spiritual forces and we fight not with the weapons of
this world, but with our spiritual armor in place, which is why many will be
killed for their stand for Jesus Christ. Yet, our trials and tribulations yet
to come via this judgment will be used for good in the life of the church to
get her to return to her first love and to set her on fire for Jesus Christ and
for his gospel. And, she will ultimately be restored in the millennial reign of
Jesus Christ and his saints on the earth. And, then there will be no more sin,
sickness, disease, death, sorrow, grief, pain or tears, for our Lord will wipe
the tears from our eyes and he will heal our broken hearts forever. Amen!
Multiplication
As
the host of heaven cannot be numbered and the sands of the sea cannot be
measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the
Levitical priests who minister to me.”
The
word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: “Have you not observed that these people are
saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have
despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. Thus
says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the
fixed order of heaven and earth, then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and
David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the
offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and
will have mercy on them.”
Jesus Christ is of the line of David, and as followers of
Jesus Christ we are his descendants. I believe very much so that my Lord is
promising an increase in salvations via this judgment, and he is also promising
a multiplication of his servants – his kingdom priests who minister to him
through their obedience to his call, to his service, and to his eternal kingdom
purposes in and through their lives. I believe he is showing me an increase
(multiplication) of those who will bow to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in their
lives, who will be his witnesses throughout the earth, who will hide their faces
from wickedness and evil, and who will follow their Lord Jesus Christ to the
death for the sake of his name.
The reproach that these servants of the Lord have had to
suffer, and will yet suffer for the sake of his name, will be removed. Amen! Yet,
though these servants of the Lord are despised and rejected of mankind, as was
Jesus, God will honor them and their obedience by fulfilling his many promises
regarding our hope and our future, by reviving his church, and by bringing many
people from all nations to his holy mountain Zion, i.e. the New Jerusalem, the
bride of Jesus Christ.
As the Deer /
Martin J. Nystrom
Based off Psalm 42:1
As the deer panteth
for the water
So my soul longeth after You
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You
You alone are my
strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You…
