Evil Days Are Here

Bible: Revelation 12:12 & Revelation 8:13

Revelation 12:12; 

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 8:13;

13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

A lot of serious believers are looking for what to do in order to survive in these perilous times.

One day, a certain brother who had just finished a seven-day dry fast in which he prayed for all kinds of breakthroughs, was coming back home after work. He had to pass through a security checkpoint, as he had been doing for almost 15 years. He did not know that his prayers had annoyed the enemy. As he was going, the security man shouted at him, “Stop! What do you think you are doing? Where are you going?” This was a man who knew him very well. Before this brother could say, ‘Jesus is Lord’, the security man had cocked his gun and was about to shoot him. As he looked at the face of this security man, it seemed as if a demon spirit had possessed him; and he could see wickedness and rage in his eyes. Initially, he was angry. But on second thought, he started praying and pleading the blood of Jesus. He then prayed thus, “By the blood of Jesus, I arrest every violent spirit that has taken over this man, in the name of Jesus.” And suddenly, the security man calmed down and said, “You can pass.” He then went away. If he had not handled the situation with the spirit of discernment, he would have ended up as mincemeat in the mouth of the enemy.

The duty of a pastor is not just putting a collar on his neck and matching up and down. It is a serious work. There is the story of a certain girl that the enemy had marked for killing. She arrived late at the airport and so missed her flight. The airplane that she had missed crashed and everybody in it died. Her parents were crying, thinking that she was dead. They rushed to the office of the airline to know what happened. But as they went through the manifest, they found out that she was not on board; and so they started rejoicing. But what was tragic was that when she missed the flight, she went and took the train which also crashed and she died. That was the rampage of the enemy in action. The devil knows that he has a short time. You need to pray for divine intervention.
