Pastor Steve Anderson's Wake Up call to America.
He explains 4 reasons why people are asleep in America, using the Bible as his source and reference. A lot of End Time Signs clips.
Warning: Pastor Steve Anderson is strong willed about homosexuality, so if you are gay, I wouldn't watch this.
The reason I make these movies with hard messaging is not to make you feel guilty or to cast blame and say something is your fault.
Why does God tell you not to focus on your flesh?
Because your flesh is weak, it's this wet suit that we have to carry at all times, that has all kinds of demands, it needs to eat, it needs to sleep, it needs to waste, it has emotional and social requests. Its tasking, it's always demanding. We desire things to be easy and pleasant, we would like to have everything for nothing. I have witnessed what people who get all those things handed to them become. The people who never have to work or push to achieve. They become some of the most wicked people. They don't know the value of their own hands, they are privaledged into spoil.
Without God, man does not discipline to achieve the best in humanity. Generally, that is absolutely true. Americans, even athiests to satanists raised in America have christian values and beliefs that make up who they are. All the other religions were formed off the idea of Christianity. If their was no God, all we would have is humanism, which is moral relevatism, which is satanism. God came so we could ascend and refine ourselves and chase after a Godly sort.
Most people either do not understand this or reject it, because of everything I just said, their flesh wants to rest. They don't want to flex their spirituality. They want a humanist approach, where what they desire is right and they are the judge, when they are not the judge. This humanist desire is the default of life. We want total control over what we do with our lives. You either get what I'm saying or you don't. But you have to understand this to understand why God is good, yet he is the trainer that pushes us to keep working out, keep excercising, keep practicing, and we are like I'm tired, I just want to watch my show, I just want to sleep. Do you realize this is not the time to be laxidazical, this is not the time for rest. We need to be prepared, and that is a workout process. Striving to remove our of your life is hard work. Without that hard work, God cannot purify you. Without your will, you will atrophy.
Man when left to his own devices and desires naturally wants things to be easy, complacent, peaceful. And I'm saying that produces a weak person, a weak spirit, if you don't exercise your going to struggle if times get hard. You either are weak or you work to be strong and that means hard work and our flesh desires us to be lazy. It's a fight it's a battle so you can overcome. I want you to overcome hard times. God doesn't give us everything, he doesn't let us atrophy with privaledge, because it makes a weak person. And people hate God for trying to have themselves pick themselves up. They will surround themselves in fables as protest to their humanist desires.
Can you wax strong against a hard message? Can you put in work to create something beautiful? Can you repent and refine your spirit to make a better world? Freedom isn't free, it requires vigilance and moral fortitude. It requires specific attributes to manifest. The attributes of God.
My own personal experience acknowledges that because I am born again I am a different person. Compare and contrast before and after. Even though I held on to firm principles I surrounded myself in a decaying demoralizing setting called American society of the 21st century. Because of God I have put my feet down and have stood up in the river, I stand against the current as it's torrading to pull me downstream. I try helping others to get their feet grounded because the river turns into a waterfall.
I exist at a time and a place where I have put my own desires, of the flesh and the world, away. Is this what my personal wish, desire and design for my life? No. It was to be selfish and do all the things I wanted to do, and play, play, play. And I filtered and selected the tables to support my behavior and desires. And you can become very successful and wealthy this way because this world pays you for decadence, it rewards you for stupidity, it relishes you in your self interest with interest. And this society is being washed away and down the drain. It's becoming less civilized and more a jungle. Not nature's jungle, the devil's jungle. That's the path away from enlightenment, freedom, civility, humanity, and God. And if you don't fight against the current, you wash away with it. If you go to sleep. You will wake up in a hell you can't awake from.
Can you appreciate the hardness of God? It's tough love and He creates a value to our lives, He wants us to strive for our potential. Lazy is easy evil pays you.
