Being Massacred

If my last few posts have been downers at all I apologize. It’s just the state of the world has been on my heart lately. My heart goes out to this lost, dying, and spiritually poor world. I think God is molding my heart for missions. I have been looking around seeing profanity in quotes on facebook, seeing a love for alcohol, money, drugs, and sex. Seeing my eternal family slipping away. It’s wretched. I look around and instead of seeing someone with money and walking normally on the streets, I picture their spiritual status and I see a beaten, bloodied, and mangled family member limping in the streets. It’s awful. We’re being massacred.

The massacre started at Eden. Adam and Eve just didn’t know the power they were up against. We’ve got a problem. People are separated from the Father and they are lost without Him. They just don’t know the power they are up against. Satan ushers his demons straight out of Hell toward us; making sure they know us remaining ignorant of the massacre is essential. I’m telling you if not reminding you of this massacre. We have to wake up. Some might say, “It’s not that urgent.” I beg to differ. Whether you see the urgency or not. It is there. Just like regardless of whether you hear the Father’s voice or not. It is still there. Is it not urgent for someone who has been shot in the stomach to get to a hospital. The same thing is happening here one Earth. Except they are spiritual bullets. We are so hung up on what we physically see, that we don’t see people’s spiritual status. We look at rich, young, successful business women and men, or professional athletes as in good health. Ask yourself are they spiritually healthy? Do they have what really matters? Some may look young and healthy but they are wounded and crying out. They are actually searching for something. You may think they have it all, but if they don’t have Christ, their poor and lost. We’re being massacred and so many don’t even know it. Let’s show them!

So often we don’t realize separating ourselves from the one with the awesome power is suicide. We can’t give up. This past week after my post First of My Challenges I spoke with a 22 year old Mexican man, named Pillo, about Christ. I saw his desire to change. I know he is searching. He has had a hard life. But I know what I am up against unlike Adam and Eve. I pray Pillo opens up to God. I have to try and stop this massacre. WE have to try and stop this massacre. Let us take up arms together.

  1. Clint, there have been so many things on the news lately to disappoint, discourage… fill us with despair. And then so many who do not know Jesus … I’m glad God fills your heart with these things … we cannot get so comfortable and happy that heaven doesn’t seem like a big deal. Keep dreaming, thinking, planning, doing.

  2. Amen, John. Clint, let God continue to lead you. There are great things in store for you. Seize every opportunity to influence others and make a difference.

  3. It’s good to know my Christian family and strong Christian soldiers are so supportive. Thanks Mr. Dobbs and Mr. Ashcraft.
