I find it unfortunate that the descendants of Amalek may never have a lot of Christians today, seeing that Esau and ALL OF HIS OFFSPRING decided to wage war against Jesus (but Jesus later said every tribe, tongue, and nation will have followers of Jesus in Matthew 24:14). Still, we see in Obadiah that God promised Esau no future, as well as the end of his family line despite having established them long ago. There are very few descendants alive today. This passage is found in page 42 of the NKJV Bible I have, page 54 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament) I bought from a Christian bookstore c. 2017, page 93 of my VOICE copy, and page 89 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I pray revival in this generation of every nation, and that I’m a good example to them (I turn 31 in less than 150 days), so that it would not be said… well, actually, even though I believe God for more disciples for Gen Z now than it was for us ten years ago, I’m not convinced the reprobate will ever lose ground as long as the U.S. exists. There’s just too many people taking God’s Name lightly. But more of that later. For now, I think it’s best to say that while the Lord Jesus is the Church’s banner today (or rather, it should be), it’s not right that verses 14-16 are used to promote hate anywhere. I think that’s what’s happening in many circles nowadays… e.g., the vast majority of U.S. born men and women today seem to think they are superior to people like the one who gave birth to my nieces! My grandmother is one of them, and I don’t support that even a little. I don’t want to speak with anyone like this. Also, I found out a few days ago Shane Claiborne had gotten arrested for being good news to the poor by feeding them and such. This happened here in the U.S.! It was in Pennsylvania, probably Philadelphia. And the Greek for that is “brotherly love.” Weird, huh? He’s pretty prolific, too, so I pray for his release ASAP, for it’s not right to arrest someone for giving life-saving aid! This has happened a few years ago when the Trump administration persecuted the believers here in Arizona for giving water and food to immigrants. They need a better life here, but now I’m not so convinced you can really find solace here, or in ANY nation, for that matter, for the leaders don’t care about us… still, the Lord Jesus can provide refuge for anyone who needs it and doesn’t want to offend Him. I know I don’t want to disturb His peace…
I pray the Church no longer works for the devil, but if that doesn’t happen, Jesus’ kingdom will come to an end. That God that’ll never happen, though 😇😇😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 — it’s bad enough that many churches around the world are hypocritical and unwilling to provide life-saving aid to many others, but nationalism dressed up as Christianity is too much for me. I don’t want to bear their sins, since they’d rather be like the Pharisees in the Gospels. And to make matters worse, when you read this, people will say (or the devil will say it) that Satan is inspiring me to write this down. What?! Will these people never learn? For violence is never acceptable, but it’s gaining traction, and even here in Gilbert, I’m likely to be done in by some of those people. I think I’m still ashamed to be American, actually… this is giving us a black mark in the history books 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ Jesus shouldn’t be associated with such hateful humans. It’s a whole another religion! Where is the Christian church, anyway? People have walked away from Jesus because of this. Also, when my mom and other family members decide to give Bee or Ana a hard time, the five of us — me, my brother, his fianceé (they really should get married), and the girls shall never speak to them again, and will promote inclusion forever. If anyone begins to sow discord among us, we’re doomed.
I know the Lord Jesus is our banner, but He also said that the gospel will be preached to every nation in Matthew 24:14, and it says in Revelation 7:9 that there will be a huge crowd in Heaven from every tribe, tongue, and nation. I can’t make this any clearer; the Bible is quite explicit: exclusion is never ok. I understand that divisive people and abusers deserve to be avoided, but I think it’s stupid to accuse someone of this lightly. But if you do see someone being like this on the first day you know them, give them a wide berth. There’s too many people like this in the churches across the world, so that’s easier said than done, for the unhypocritical believers are few, just as Jesus said in Matthew 9:37, so we should pray for laborers for the harvest (Matthew 9:38). I pray I get to preach the Gospel across the earth, even from here.
Any prayer requests you want to write to me? You can do that in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each message, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! I’ll see you in Exodus 18 where we talk about assistance for Moses! See ya!
