When Light and Darkness Collide
"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions." — Joel 2:28
Something remarkable is happening. Across our country, young people are coming to Christ in numbers we haven't seen in years. Students are standing boldly for Jesus. Politicians are speaking about the Gospel with clarity. God is moving.
At the same time, we're witnessing unbelievable wickedness. Evil is celebrated. Decency is mocked. The darkness seems darker.
Some would say Scripture contradicts itself. The Old Testament says, "In the last days, I will pour out My Spirit." Paul writes, "In the last days, terrible times will come." Which is it?
It's both. And it's happening at the same time.
It's getting easier to respond to Christ than ever before. The Gospel is being preached everywhere. At the same time, there's wickedness like we've never seen. This is part of God's plan to reveal Himself.
Here's what you need to know: God is in charge. When things aren't going the direction you think they should, trust God's timing. Trust God's mercy. Thank God for His grace.
As long as someone is breathing, there's a chance God will grab their heart and turn it toward home. If a prodigal can ruin their life and still find the Father waiting, there's a chance for our family and friends.
We need to trust God to be God. We shouldn't identify with a political party. We need to identify with King Jesus. "Come Lord Jesus," should be our prayer.
You can decide how to express this politically. God gives you freedom. But the key thing should be to kneel at the cross because Jesus is Lord. When He is Lord of your life, everything flows from there.
One day, Jesus is coming back. We can count on it. Until then, we live in the tension. We watch God move. We stand firm in darkness. We trust His plan.

We have to expose the darkness of the Democratic party this is good versus evil no sideline sitting!!!
I’m not quite understanding what you are saying.
Connie,to single out a particular political party as evil is what Dr.Does was addressing,evil exists everywhere, in various people not just in one party but good& evil exist in both ,pray for all who need God & not just certain ones.

I trust my Savior and Lord to lead me through the darkness each day. I wish everyone knew like I know Him. He knows what is best for us all.
Praise God for this message. Jesus is LORD over all and He is separating His sheep from the goats. We are either serving Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords or Satan! There is no in between and there is no Democrat or Republican! We are all making a choice whether we call ourselves a democrat or republican to serve Jesus or Satan. Today is the day of salvation! Choose whom we shall serve! I serve Jesus Christ of Nazareth; King of Kings and Lord of lords, Savior of my soul, fully God and fully man!! Hallaleuijah! Even so, come Lord Jesus come. Save the world You came to save. Amen!! ??
Robin speaks the truth of Christ Jesus our Lord. There are many people who do not understand or know what to think about the world's tribulations, I would like to backup what Robin was saying with my own thoughts. It seems many Christians are confused about their identity and there should be no confusion whatsoever. You either follow Jesus or you live worldly- full of lies, hate and discontent. You live in the light or the darkness. You cannot have both, you have to choose one or the other. If you choose sin you cannot maintain a Divine relationship with Christ. Nor can you receive God's fruits. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."— This is the peace that Jesus provides, which surpasses all understanding. When you abide in Jesus and are obedient to God's word there is no need to justify or rationalize what is good or what is evil, there is only the GOSPEL TRUTH. Our goal in life then, is not to condemn or try to fix the world, it is to spread this Good News. We are to rely not on our own understanding but, trust in the Lord with all our heart. It is by faith alone that we will be saved and it is also in this faith, that we live daily, in peace and joy following and worshiping Jesus. As it is in heaven it shall be on earth. Free yourself of guilt and shame from living in sin, live in the light of Christ Jesus. https://iamtruthby.name/
I truly believe we are living in the END-TIMES. The Stage is being set, God is warning people. The rapture is around the corner, but of that day; or hour NO one's knows. Only God our Father. I believe people are calling Evil good and good evil, especially the Democrats.
