We are in serious times in God. There is a weight being placed upon God’s prophets at this time as many things are being held in balance. I see a set of scales, like the scales seen in courts. The scales are balanced: one side holds God’s judgement, the other side holds God’s mercy. However the scales are finely balanced but slightly tipping toward judgement. The church must be concerned, for this is a sign of what is to come if we do not repent and put some things right in the body of Christ.
‘As is the church, so is the government’ is something we should be considering very seriously. This is about governments worldwide, not only in Australia. Again like the balanced scales, there is a move trying to bring unbalance and unrest. Unrest is going to increase in many nations, particularly wealthy nations such as Australia and America. There is a contending for position in governance in many nations right now.
In Australia, we are at a very defining pivotal point. Our government has a very fragile balance of power. It only takes one slight movement and the scale will tip. There is an interesting dynamic occurring right now that is the most concerning thing I have seen thus far. It is a sign, and we the church must be watchful as to what is happening and what this sign is saying, for it is about the church too.
We have a labour government in an alliance with the greens. It is being said by many: ‘labour is the government, but the greens have the power.’ The power is in the hands of a few extremists pushing for many unrighteous laws to be actioned. Suddenly a small group, in a position of power, is pushing for euthanasia, and same sex marriage to be accepted and passed into law. It is happening subtly on the sidelines. The greens are often spoken as green on the outside and red on the inside. The greens do have a socialist agenda that stops business growth, that kills any development plans in the name of conservation. It wants everyone to be equal, killing all entrepreneurial skills and creative ideas. This is happening on our watch and the church must be the voice it was always meant to be to speak out against these unrighteous laws. It is concerning that many small groups are increasing in power and influence and being a voice that does not truly reflect the numbers of people supporting it. It is power in the hands of a very small minority, very concerning!! This corrupt power will be exposed. Corruption in high place of government will be confronted as the church prays, and as this agenda of man becomes known. We have seen it in local and state government, but not so much at a federal level of government.
The corrupt practices by unrighteous men and women will be confronted and the voices of many will rise up and say ‘enough’. People will no longer sit quietly and see unjust practices continue, that erode the peace, free will and the right to speak out being ripped out from under them. Truth must prevail even in our government. They are not above the law and this false authority and all it stands for, will be exposed.
There is a false rulership over this nation!!! There is a contending for power that is vicious and it will do anything to gain its authority and position at whatever cost to the people of this nation. It is self serving, pushing a selfish agenda, that has no consideration for the effects of its policies on the whole nation. God places those in authority and it is by His hand that we have the government we have. It is an unstable government and we should not be naïve in thinking it is God’s divine will for us. It is in fact a sign of judgment being released upon us and we need God’s mercy like never before. This is a sign of the balance of the scale tilting toward judgment and away from mercy. We see an example in Daniel where God confronted the ungodly leadership of King Balshezzar where in his pride he rose up against the Lord of Heaven.
Daniel 5:24 - 27
Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
And this is the inscription that was written:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it, TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting.
Have we by our ungodliness both as a nation and the church been weighed in the balances and found wanting? That is the question we must ask ourselves as we see unrighteousness and idolatry increasing.
God will not strive with man and his ways, particularly in the church, any longer. He will not stand for compromise, for unrighteousness and any unholy alliances among and between His people. So why is this happening at this time now? What is this saying about what is happening in the body of Christ? What can we do about it? Can the wrongs be made right?
Apostolic leadership is about rulership. It is about a divine positioning of ones called to influence and bring change not only in the church but in society. The true apostle has paid a personal cost. They, like Apostle Paul, had a divine, life changing encounter with the Lord, that has defined them in such a powerful way, they will never knowingly do or say anything that would bring down or compromise the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ in any way shape or form. They have been placed in a divine rulership position because they are ones the Lord can trust. They have passed many tests in God and He has put His seal of approval upon them. There is however a contending by ones who are self appointed, with an unholy agenda contending for position as one of God’s apostles. They are false, and they are arising at this time. The church needs the gift of discernment like never before. We must be awake and alert to the devices of the enemy, for satan appears as an angel of light and will manifest in ways very close to the Spirit of God. It is not by the Spirit of God, but by man’s hand and there will be no fruit, only destruction and devastation to God’s people. We must be on guard for the false. The tragedy is many cults are arising that appear to have a godly message but Scripture is taken out of context and distorted to fit in with man’s agenda. It is not by the Spirit of God for if it were, there would be freedom to God’s people. In these unsettling times fear is arising both in the church and to those who don’t know the Lord. This is opportunity for unrighteous, ungodly men/woman to take vulnerable, desperate people and use them for their own ends. The greatest blasphemy is when they attach the Lord’s name to the works they are doing. That is the false that is arising and we all need to be on guard. It is taking an authority position they are never meant to have. It is a wrong authority position because it is rooted in power. Power corrupts!!
2 Corinthians 11:12 - 15
But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
So what can we do about it? Firstly we need to acknowledge that this is happening by taking our head out of the sand in denial, instead rise up and pray for the leadership of this nation and the church. Repentance must come. The past few days I have had a sense of foreboding. Sometimes it is difficult to separate what is from self and what is from God. However at church the other night the Holy Spirit was alerting me to this, what I have written, and He had me declaring some things so that harm will not come to this nation. This is not to alarm, but rather to alert. When we have been given an alert it is then up to us to cry out to the Lord to avert what may happen. It is about bringing balance to the scales of justice. This is some of what He had me cry out for. It is up to us to seek the Lord and His heart for Australia and His church. We are individual and the Lord shows in part but this is what He had me cry out and declare.
Lord, I lift up the name of Jesus over this nation!!! Lord I cry out to You to stop us from going down the road of destruction, down a way that seems right to a man!!
Have mercy upon me, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon this nation!!! Help us Lord, help us, we need You, we need You like never before!!! Pour out Your mercy on Australia, rain Your grace and mercy upon us!!! With hold Your hand Lord, spare this nation for we have a deep need of You!!! We are far from Your ways and Your truth.
Let Your justice, Your mercy reign, let Your grace and favour be upon Your church!!!
We declare Your truth Lord to be spoken, to be revealed, to bring us to a greater place of conviction and repentance. Teach us Your ways Lord that we might walk in them and be ALL that You require us to be in these days and times. Your Kingdom come here in Australia, Your will be done, Lord we ask in Your Mighty Name!!!
Amen,
So Be It!!!
