This is a glorious time to serve the Lord. The test for true Christians is not when the climate of the land is joyous and at peace with God. The true test for Christians is when the ground is dry, the landscape is desolate, and darkness looms.
In America today, we see good spoken of as evil by literally millions, if not the majority. Christians are being mocked at every turn. This nation's leaders stand on television and pay homage and honor to a passing Supreme Court Justice, who has the blood of over 30 million unborn children on his hands. In Luke 23:29 Jesus said as he was on his way to the cross, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, weep for yourselves and for your children. For the time will come when you will say, blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed. We are seeing this scripture unfold before our very eyes. How can we hold accountable young people in this nation who are smoking dope, drinking and violently attacking their peers? How can we hold them accountable, when their fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, religious leaders and lawmakers openly denounce the sanctity of life? The blood of this rebellious generation of children is dripping from the hands of our generation. We, as a nation, have embraced satan and have literally kissed him on the lips. In the book of Isaiah 5:14-16 the Word of God tells us, Therefore the grave enlarges its appetite and opens its mouth without limit; into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revelers. So man will be humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled. But the Lord Almighty will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show Himself holy by His righteousness. The Word of God further states in 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 Word of God states in Isaiah 7:9, If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all. This is the time to stand. If millions mock and only one listens, then praise God, we have saved one soul. We have increased heaven immeasurably. That one soul has been created in the image of God. I believe in my heart, that if only one soul was to repent throughout all history, Jesus still would have gone, deserted and alone, to the cross. These young people are worth every assault, every attack. These young souls are worth the price. In a vision, God spoke to me, "As surely as I led my children out of Egypt, I will lead my children out of darkness." In this vision, I saw the youth of America.
My vision now encompasses the whole world. I have already spoken and sung God's praise on five continents. I have stood on communist television in the former Soviet Union, with 70 percent of the entire population of the Soviet block watching, and have prayed the sinner's prayer. Only heaven knows the number of souls led to Christ that glorious day. In the book of I Corinthians 1:27 the Word says, But God chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise. Jesus Christ Superstar, of which I was the original star in my foolish days, is still the biggest selling album in the history of the former Soviet countries. Psalm 40:3 states, He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.
When I returned to the United States, I was immediately mocked, scandalized, and lied about in the national media. I did not lie down to the scourge. I fought with tooth and nail; and I prayed incessantly. God silenced the tongues and rebuked the forces of darkness. Every great victory that we have seen, has been preceeded or followed by attacks from the enemy. I will stand because I serve the risen Christ. I will speak above the jeers of the 'free'. I will proclaim in the silence of the prisons. I will see God's children led out of darkness.
My Deepest Love,
