Decline of North Atlantic Caucasian Christians. (Part 3)
In the history of awakenings and revivals the spirit of prayer has been the key factor. Evangelism was successful when it was present on either side of the Atlantic or in the third world during the Modern Missionary Movement or the Golden Age of Evangelism. It cannot be simulated or produced by any method of man. The Great Intercessor in heaven alone is able to send it upon gathered saints in prayer.

Yet even when Wesley, Whitefield, Edwards, or Finney preached during the Great Awakenings, not one of them ever tried to convince a respondent to the Gospel that he or she was now a child of God. They always waited for God’s Spirit to give the assurance through His inner witness that He now indwelled the believer. They went to no ends to be patient and never tried to pre-empt the Spirit’s work.

They were loath to ever convince the new seeker with logic, Bible verses, or pressure that he was already regenerated. They let the seekers agonize in conviction without haste. They knew, as I did in New Guinea nearly 60 years ago, that when God moves in evangelism the Spirit’s work cannot be rushed or duplicated.
By all means quote the glorious promises to press upon the smitten sinners the hope, but the final work of regenerating conversion is alone the peculiar work of the Holy Ghost. To interrupt that work by impatience is to hinder the work of God with false hope.

Today, since the novel quick methods of the preacher as the sole persuader now makes a newborn Christian. These preachers of our day try to do it all themselves, using the Scriptures to make the respondent acknowledge then acquiesce to the overtures of God.

These evangelists are forced to do this themselves because the spirit of prayer is absent in their congregations, having abandoned the necessity of its presence in enabling intercessors to pray together for the lost. The old power house of the early church and that of true evangelism throughout church history has been forsaken.
The Plea of Our Great High Priest and Intercessor by the Prophet Joel.

“Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord…therefore also now, says the Lord, turn you even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning…And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God…who knows if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar…And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.”

    ( Joel 1:14; Joel 2: 12-17; Joel 2:28, 32.)

The spirit of prayer produces the unspeakable boldness and travail which shakes the place where they are gathered, and is the very catalyst that precipitates an outpoured awakening of the lost. Not until we open our churches again to free prayer and the free gathering of saints is there any hope of the return by the spirit of prayer. In the meantime we go through the motions, bypass the inner witness of the Spirit that comes through the new birth or radical, real conversion.

DECLINE OF NORTH ATLANTIC CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANS (Part 1)

DECLINE OF NORTH ATLANTIC CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANS (Part 1)
The West has much to learn from the strengths of Eastern quietude and reflectivity of mind? The Western man is presently distracted by high technology and excuses his frenetic preoccupation with internet media as multi-tasking and divergent thinking? Alas, even the saints are being temporarily blinded, until the Spirit brings them to their senses.

While arrogantly proud of its intellectualism the West forgets that as descendants of Japheth that settled in the isles, coasts and hinterlands of the North Atlantic, their intellectual advancement only came as God’s gift in fulfilment of Noah’s promise to Shem and his posterity down through the ages .

While they dwelt in the tent of Shem they were enlarged. When they became anti-Semitic the rationalism of intelligentsia took a downward path to lawlessness, civil wars and revolution. Revolution creates a war-mongering nation that was once law-abiding. This has happened, and is happening now on both sides of the Atlantic. It explains the present chaos between East and West. Once, those nations of Europe (both western and eastern) were advancing exponentially because they were god-fearing, promoted the Scriptures, and were friends of God’s scattered people: the Jews.

Now godforsaken in materialism and debauchery of mind, Western Christian nations in Europe, the United Kingdom have, like the USA on the other side of the Atlantic, become lawless. “If it were possible even the very elect would be deceived” and succumb. (Read: 2nd Thessalonians 2.) The days of Noah and Sodom are revisiting the planet to captivate nations abandoned by God.

HAS PARTISAN MEDIA SABOTAGED U.S DEMOCRACY?

HAS PARTISAN MEDIA JOURNALISM KILLED USA’s DEMOCRACY?

The right to democratic liberty has died a slow death over the last 17 months of this U.S. Presidential Campaign. The amassed and orchestrated media overage by NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, the U.S. BBC, and FOX has tried to assassinate Donald Trump, but in the process mortally wounded U.S. Democracy and shot itself in the foot.

Its newscasts, political commentators, strategists, psychologists and news anchors have all been suborned to save America, but they have together unwittingly provided the last nail in the coffin of liberty. Its long endangered democratic process breathed its last gasp and it is only a matter of time before final rigor mortis causes its final seizure.

The watching remnant (saints) will already have turned in their Bibles to read the prophesied description of democracy’s demise in St. Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians (chapter two). It summed up the media campaign, which ironically eclipsed the candidate’s own campaigns.

Big media, suborned by billions of underhand Wall Street dollars (on top of the official billions it legally earned) may have provoked a tumultuous unwarranted public response like that in France in 1798. That galloping movement of protest bolted down the highway with its careering carriage (Hopeful Democracy) finally overturning in irretrievable ruin.

This was the outcome too of the Roman Empire reigning as a superpower from 146 BC to the 4th century AD. When media oligopolies ruthlessly take command trying to reign in their own conspired right the outcome can well be the same as took place in 18th C France and 4th C Rome.

Prolonged manipulation of public sentiment by Big Brother in league with state hierarchy is a dangerous course to be taken in any era. The annals of history are littered with the results of such an incendiary device of controlling the masses for its own gain. 18th C France, 16th C and 20th C Germany, 17th C Britain is just to mention a few.

In the next 24 hours the future of not just one state, but fifty states hangs in the balance and that balance may possibly be upset by a just a few handfuls of ignorant neglect. Then in paralyzed hindsight the citizens of that fair Union will belatedly remember the proverb “you are weighed in the balances and found wanting,”

Marshall McLuhan and Jacques Ellul saw this day coming, but sooner than they, and other literati like them, had anticipated.
