And He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief.
Many in the mainstream Church have become stuck in unbelief, unable and unwilling to hear some painfully hard truths. For some in the Body of Christ, the Trump prophecies have become a stumbling block and offense. Prophetic words about his role in this national crisis have become a log in their eyes, preventing them from seeing the much larger war being waged both in the heavenlies, as well as on the ground.
The fact is, this is not merely about getting a rightfully elected President back in office. This is about a global conflict that far surpasses any election cycle. Where the Plandemic may have woken many to the depopulation plan of the globalists, there are many who are still blind to the counterfeit agendas we’ve been fed for generations. And even though it is right to pray for revival and spiritual awakening in this hour, we cannot expect any lasting effect if we do not acknowledge the evil that’s right in front of us.
DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
Every area of our culture has been infiltrated by enemy insurgents with a clear mission to dominate and control us. For those willing to take a look, it shouldn’t be hard to see the fruit of these works of darkness:
Medicine: With almost two years’ worth of hard data to prove its effect, Covid has finally been exposed as a planned bio-weapon, prepared years in advance, aimed at our destruction and demise. Not only have world health organizations fed us lies for years, but big Pharma has also proven to be complicit in many horrendous crimes against humanity.
Education: Parents have finally woken up to the indoctrination plans for our children. Curriculums are being exposed and textbooks are being unveiled in counties across this nation for their debased and liberal ideologies aimed at demoralizing the next generation and removing God from our collective conscience.
Business: Not only are entire financial systems being exposed as fuel lines for the greedy elite, but big tech companies and conglomerates are also being unmasked for their plans of economic domination and the absolute destruction of local businesses and private enterprise.
Entertainment: Hollywood is no longer hiding its demonic agenda but openly promoting satanic practices and rituals on screen. The plan to desensitize this next generation to the dark arts has been well underway for the last twenty years, and people have finally had enough.
Family: Through the promotion of transgenderism and the literal castration of our children, we are finally seeing the ultimate goal of the woke ideology. Removing parental rights and legalizing childhood sterilization has only served to awaken the Mama and Papa bears who say NO MORE.
Government: The mountain of evidence concerning election fraud is overwhelming. The fact that even the most obvious cases of voter manipulation have not been proven in court only serves to strengthen the case for the deeply embedded subversion at every level of our legal system.
Media: All the major mainstream outlets are going bankrupt. The mockingbird prophets have been identified and are now displaced by citizen journalists across many new social media platforms that welcome free speech. We the People have found our voice and are pioneering our own media outlets to spread the truth to all who will listen.
Religion: The Church has been severely tested these last two years and has been found wanting. Congregations have been shuttered and pastors have stepped down because of apathy and compromise. In communities across the nation, Christians are searching for leaders who will take a stand and champion righteous rule in the midst of wicked rulers.
ARE WE AWAKE YET?
It should be fairly clear to anyone who takes an honest look that our nation has been hijacked. The Covid lie and election fraud are but the tip of the iceberg – and the treason is global.
But, though many have awoken to the Luciferian agenda aimed at enslaving us, there are still many others who have either refused to open their eyes or are too frustrated and tired to listen. Though loved ones have tried to rouse these sleepers to consciousness with verifiable facts and figures, they have simply turned over and gone back to sleep. They have decided there’s no point. It’s either too late, too overwhelming, or too hard. Whether fed by fear or sheer apathy, an entire segment of our population still refuses to believe.
And on the Sabbath He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to Him? How are such mighty works done by His hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” And they took offense at Him. And Jesus said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honor, except in His hometown and among His relatives and in His own household.’” And He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. An He marveled because of their unbelief.
EVEN JESUS COULDN’T DO IT
Jesus faced a similar challenge of waking up sleepers in His own hometown. The spirit of unbelief He encountered was staggering. The message He brought was offensive to what was familiar. The questions they raised had little to do with the truths He brought. Rather, it was their own customs and mindsets of the past that blinded them to these new claims of authority over demons and freedom from oppressors. They were actually offended that He dared challenge the status quo. Even Jesus, the Prophet, could do “no mighty work” because of their unbelief.
Obviously, their lack of faith did not change His ultimate authority or ability to overcome the darkness. It merely limited their ability to receive the truth for themselves. This is what familiar ideologies and belief systems do to us – they blind us. Those ideas and practices that have become “family” to us cripple our ability to perceive – and receive – something new.
And He went about among the villages teaching. And He called the twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
WE NEED MORE THAN WORDS
We can take heart from Jesus’ example. Even as He recognized the spirit of unbelief at work, His mission was not deterred. Jesus wasn’t going to waste any more time on those who weren’t willing. He was looking for those who were. Immediately following His disappointment in Nazareth, He commissioned His followers to keep going. Using the authority He had given them, they were to continue spreading His message with demonstrations of power. Where words might fall on deaf ears, Kingdom demonstrations could break the spell.
I believe what’s needed to overturn the unbelief that has blinded many to the truth, is to press in for demonstrations of Kingdom authority and power. More than simply speaking the truth, we need to demonstrate it in ways that can only be attributed to God. People need to see Him at work in tangible ways. They need to personally encounter the power of His Spirit. And we need to pray for the visible validation of all these works of darkness to settle the issues once and for all.
Just as Jesus sent out His disciples to preach and demonstrate the Kingdom, so is He urging us to press in for those “greater things” (John 14:12). Rather than feeling defeated by the sleepers among us, we must look for those who are hungry for truth. We can trust His Spirit to lead us to those who are open and ready to hear the truths that can set them free.
The power of faith is tangible, and it can bring heaven to earth. Let’s break through the unbelief in our land by operating in the opposite spirit. Faith overcoming the world is not just a biblical concept – it’s a reality that wields great power in the spirit. Let’s use it to move some mountains and take down some giants. Maybe the falling of these beasts will be loud enough to finally wake up the sleepers.
And my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
