The Spiritual Journey 2024 - Day 4: The world system holds no remedy.

”God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods. How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked. They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable. I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.” Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations.“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭82‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

As I have shared with you, my recent spiritual journey began with a sense of complete nothingness. As I mentioned, this was just a vehicle, a context in which I would experience a two-pronged journey over several days.

In one prong of the journey, the Lord spoke to me as I was asleep in dreaming visions. Through these He basically revealed the truth about the world system, the kingdom of darkness, and toward the end, indicated the hook remaining in me that was keeping me from being completely separate from the control of the enemy.

The second prong in the spiritual journey would be experienced as I was awake with my eyes closed. I was definitely not asleep; but with my eyes closed, I experienced several spiritual confrontations.

Before going into the specifics of the two prongs in my journey, I must set the context.

You see, sadly, multitudes of people try to fill the longing or emptiness in their soul, by taking what the world has to offer. But please understand, there is nothing in the world system, nothing in the realm of Satan‘s rule, that can help you. Indeed, everything thought to be helpful is actually systematically hollowing out your life force, the spark left of the divine nature, to render you completely unable to resist being fully controlled and destroyed by the forces of evil.

Jesus, speaking to the church at Laodicea, remarks about their self-deception in which they saw themselves as having everything they needed. He urged them, implored them, to come to Him in an attitude of repentance to receive what they really needed.

”And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.“

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We see that if they remained in this place of self-deception, they would be completely rejected.

In our opening scripture we see the Lord speaking concerning the sons of God who were placed over the nations. He points out that they are corrupt, and because of that, the people “do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable.”

Sadly, we see this dynamic all around us; it’s everywhere in the world, in every nation, in multitudes of individuals. Everything they do is done in darkness, and every foundation on which they have built themselves is now violently being shaken.

Tomorrow we will take a further look into how the world system, the kingdom of darkness, is currently operating.

Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
