We are seeing things we’ve never seen before, hearing unimaginable things. Children are confused about their gender. Same sex marriages are permitted, “Love is love,” society says.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20 KJV)

Our government is turned upside down. Abortion is uncommon. Chaos floods the media. We are living in a time that being kind to someone is misunderstood. What’s going on? I’ve heard this and I’ve said it myself, “I remember a time those things weren’t heard of.” Here is the truth. Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” The Bible is loud and clear on these things. I’m not even effected that you disagree with me. Darlene is not the author of the Bible, God is.

So, why are we being informed daily of all this? Early this morning the Lord woke me up to go into this. This is not a hate speech nor is it an attack on anyone. As a messenger of God, it’s my responsibility to love enough to tell the truth. I have several accountability partners in the ministry who check in on me often. I trust them to be honest without being judgmental to keep me on track.

This is what’s happening, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV) What happens the moment roaches and rats or other infestations are disturbed? They expose themselves. Here, there, and anywhere just to hide from exposure. But, if the root of the pest is destroyed things begin to come under control. Beloved, what we see and hear as a spiraling setback is quite the opposite. It’s a result due to an awakening from sleep and calling on God to heal our land.

“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.”  Isaiah 9:2 KJV

The Holman Bible says it like this, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; a light has dawned on those living in the land of darkness.”  

I was once in darkness too. I’m grateful that I saw the light!
