"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost./In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
We all belong to woke generation. The word has been in use since 30s. It has a cultural context but here we use in the sense the manner the devil has beguiled Eve and ever since nations have been rallying under a beast who is the son of perdition. The shroud that covers the nations are being pulled apart by God.In Isa.25.7 we read it as a shroud "cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations." It may be mass hysteria where a mere reading of the War of the worlds created panic.in the streets.In 1938 people showed how irrational fear could be. Eugenics programs jumped across continents forced sterilzation in the USA was driven by fear and culture than science
We see also anti-woke. In Tennessee we recently found a county Sheriff was idolized as a hero but now McNair county does not know what do with one who staged an ambush, which is a museum of sorts but it covered domestic violence by a brute who smashed his wife's jaw and shot her in cold blood. Is bringing a victim of domestic violence. If truth is br and giving her justice denied is it good or bad? Conservatives have their heroes but revering a lie or being 'woke' suddently raises temperature! Will the patriots of Jan 6. Capitol and their instigator end up on Mt Rushmore? Poor Emmet Till was lynched on a a lie. The woman who casused it confessed before her death that she lied. Was she woke? Tulsa massacre was hushed up and thus nation fool themselves. God recognises only two nations. Consider to which nation you belong, nation of light or of darkness? The rest are fodder for fire and destruction,
By nature that is all those born of Adam are " sons of disobedience " children of wrath" Paul says in Ephesians speaking to now Christian's and blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus" that we all were as others are still .It is still true that" the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all others and who can know it".?
And if now we are any different it is because " God commanded the light to shine in our hearts" it is worth noting that in the beginning God commanded the light to shine in the darkness and THEN began to do a work of recreation of the earth .So
Likewise when God commanded the light to shine in our own hearts I then God begins to work in transforming our lives bring the order of the kingdom of God and it's peace where there was once disorder and chaos.
But it should be noted that exposure to truth changes no one but it is our response to it .
Thus as God through the Word enlightens our understanding not only of the nature of the old man but also of His nature we are by degree and measure changed and grow onto conformity with Him.
Not only repenting of what we have done but also what we are .
It was to some Christian's Paul said " ye are yet carnal" and to be carnally minded was death and "which could not receive the things of God" It was also to other Christians he prayed that " the eyes of their understanding may be opened" For while the devil may not be able to stop us being saved he can still blind us to what is " towards us who believe" or ours IN Christ .( Ephesians ).
We must know something of the resurrection power of Christfor how can we be BORN again without that power? But clearly Paul is speaking about far more " that is towards us" than we have yet to realise or understand .
For how much power does it take to raise the dead?
I don't think God broke into a sweat so to speak "when He raised Christ Jesus from the dead "
But the church in its present state knows little of it .Nor then the world
God is in control and all his promises are yea and Amen in him; so he that is in the light, let him shine and God knows who are His. Woke or antiwoke, Satan has his sons and they shall hate the light because their works are evil.
"But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." Jesus pointed what we are; We are kings and priests. Sword is our badge of honor in the kingdom of light. Garments of praise and salvation is on the house. (Lk.22.36)
