Today, as we witness evil deeds, such as destroying occupied boats and killing people in the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean Sea, unjustly arresting and deporting immigrants who are in the United States legally, and taking funds from people in need to give to the wealthy, one could ask a question.
What in God's name is happening?
Don't despair, because God will tell us. Know that God speaks to us, we have to be prepared to receive His message.
An angel appeared to Joseph twice in a dream. An angel also appeared to the Magi, instructing them not to inform King Herod of the location of baby Jesus!
Don't close your minds to how the message is delivered. Don't simply look for an angel to appear. The message may emanate from a brother or sister, from reading Scripture, or even overhearing a conversation in passing. Know that God will reveal Himself, sometimes in an unconventional manner!
Back to those folks who are committing evil deeds: they might tell you they are taking cues from God, but don't be fooled. They are succumbing to their own dark desires by receiving messages from the fallen angel Satan.
We must use discernment and not misinterpret God's messages, so that we don't travel a path of evil, illustrated by America's current immigration policy, starvation of people, taking healthcare from people in need, and killing people in international waters.
Receive God's messages and walk a path of righteousness in 2026 and beyond. The evildoers shall also receive a message from God that they will not want to hear:
"Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty and ever-flowing stream."
We will see you in 2026!
