ARTICLE: SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS AND THE ELECTED
REMNANT
REMNANT
My beloved, I know this article is lengthy, but I would encourage you to please read this anyway. I feel that God is speaking directly to His People in this article. Thank you!
"Satan has been singing a lullaby over America and lulling them into a deep sleep, but God says He is awakening His people with Songs of Deliverance-- wake up my beloved, stand to your feet, embrace the Call I have over your life, step into your position and ready yourself to move forward in My Power and Might. As the enemy boldly displays his armament and strategy, I too will display MY armament: The Armor of God, The Word of God, The Name of Jesus Christ, The Blood of The Lamb, The Word of the Testimonies of MY saints (and the very fact that My people move forward with the truth that Jesus has already defeated the enemy and my Saints win in the end." Selah!
Scripture Reference - Romans 10:21 and Romans 11
The Spirit of God stirred my heart this morning and inspired me to read Romans 11 which addresses the Spiritual Blindness that God allowed to cover Israel for a season in order that the Gentiles would have the blessed opportunity to be "engrafted in The Vine". In my time of study, I was blessed with several revelations that I believe relate to what is the spiritual condition of America in 2015. Please allow me to share some insights with you.
Romans 10:21 "But to Israel he says: "All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people".
SOUND FAMILIAR AMERICA?
Although this particular aforementioned passage is referring to God talking about His people, the Israelites (Jews), this scripture also sounds very much like the condition of America today. Our "once blessed nation" is now "a disobedient and contrary people". America has shoved God out of its society and says in their hearts "We don't need God in our nation any longer" and we have chosen to adhere to the Sin of Lawlessness and Man's Intellect. Our Leaders are leaning on their own Intellectual and making decisions with their eyes blinded to what will be the results of bad decision making. Our nation has rejected God and His warnings of Its' spiritual prognosis and it is not good folks.

Romans 11:1-3 The Apostle Paul begins by posing the question-- "I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. v2 - God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, (v3) "Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life"?
In verse 4 God responds with "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal". Then in Verse 5 it says, "Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace".
THE PRESENT REMNANT
As I read Verse 5, I can't help but get excited to think of the application and relevance this passage has regarding what I believe is taking place in America today. I believe there is a spiritual blindness that has come over America and its leadership today. However, in the midst of this spiritual blindness, God has reserved a "Remnant" for such a time as this. This inspires me as a Christian; a true follower of Jesus Christ and a man who continues to strive for complete surrender to Father's Will for his life. I know there are those out there who know what I am talking about when I say that God has been providing you with supernatural insight to the times we are living in right now in America. He has continued to divinely inspire you with the desire to dig deeper into His Word and seek His face like never before. God has beckoned you to spend more time in The Secret Place, where the Holy Spirit of God is able to provide you with divine rest, comfort, peace, joy and instructions concerning your daily footage in fulfilling the Will of the Father. You are not satisfied with mediocrity in your walk with Christ. You hunger and thirst after righteousness. If this does describe you and what you have been experiencing lately, along with a strong sense of the need to ensure you are positioning yourself in the Call that Father has placed on your life, then you may very well be a member of this "Remnant" that God has reserved "for such a time as this".

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH MY BELOVED
Yes, it it true that America has strayed from God and in Its rejection of God and His principles (and plans and desires for this nation), and many are living in the Sin of Lawlessness (homosexuality, gay equality and gay marriage as well as sins of abortion (murder), adultery, etc.,) We are living "as it was in the Days of Noah" my beloved. But rejoice for God is faithful to reserve a "remnant" for such a time as this. The challenge and question that I present to you is are YOU part of this remnant or are you one of those who is spiritually blinded and living in the Sin of Lawlessness? There is even a great move of some Christians who are living in Apostasy. They have left Christianity and have turned to the worship of false gods and fellowship amongst those who acknowledge and walk in the One World Church (The Apostate Church of the end times).

A DIVINE NUGGET OF TRUTH: Satan has been singing a lullaby over America for quite some time now, however, God's Spirit says, "I am about to sing Songs of Deliverance over my people and shaking them awake from their slumber. For the time for such lethargic and lulling spirituality is coming to an abrupt end. Wake up Oh Sleeping Giant! Wake up, rise and take the position I am calling you too, for the time has come for God's people to take a stand in ALL power and anointing for I am pouring out my Spirit over all people in these last days. My sons and daughters shall prophesy. They shall perform many miracles, signs and wonders in these last days and the world will see and know the great I AM".
DOUBLE ANOINTING- NOT A "SPLASH" BUT A "POUR AND A DOUSE"
On a personal note, my beloved, God has revealed to me that He is about to distribute a double portion of His anointing over His people. There is a big difference between a "slight sprinkle" of His anointing and a "pouring out" of His anointing. A sprinkle is a sparse splash BUT a "Pour" is a dousing...a massive flow. Please get this image in your spirit my beloved. God is going to bless His children with the provision of an increase in His anointing for such a time as this. If you are already allowing the anointing He has bestowed upon you to flow for His service and glory, get ready my beloved, for you are about to receive a DOUBLE PORTION...For God is "pouring out" His anointing over His people. Imagine standing to your feet in front of the church and your Pastor says God has instructed him to anoint you with oil. In the past, he has dipped his forefinger into a small veil of oil and he makes the sign of the cross over your forehead and he proceeds to pray over you for a fresh anointing. Well, now imagine this same scenario, however, this time as the Pastor goes to anoint you with oil, he takes the whole bottle or veil of oil and pours it over the top of your head. There you are, now standing with a large d of oil pouring from the top of your head, down your face and onto your shoulders and so on. This scenario is like what God is doing with His people in these last days-- He is "pouring" or dousing His people with the anointing (oil) in order that we may go forth with an increase in His power so that we may do greater things under a double-portion anointing. With this divine provision, we are going to go forth in the areas of healings, prophetic words, words of knowledge, casting out demons and all that Jesus said we would far greater than He had done in His earthly ministry. We are going to see miracles, signs and wonders and I believe it is going to become a common occurrence, as long as God's people are willing to BE OBEDIENT to the divine instructions of the Holy Spirit. When He says "Go" then we must be willing to "Go". Many times, it is our human nature to step back when we believe we hear the Holy Spirit telling us to do something and we try to assess the situation with our natural eye and our accompanied "feelings"(from the perspective of how we feel-- do we feel "led" to go to a particular person in church and share with them what God desires to tell them). But in beyond our obedience we must realize there are those who are desperately waiting for us to be obedient so they can be made free in what we share from the heart of God. We don't know what is going on in that person's current circumstances and it may the very Word we share with them directly from Father God that is what they need to overcome a challenge they are facing. Remember all of our steps of obedience to the instructions of The Holy Spirit is "for such a time as this". We MUST be willing to be OBEDIENT and not try to figure out whether or not we "feel" right about walking in obedience in a particular "assignment from God".
