In Portland, Oregon, demonstrators barricaded a police station with twenty people inside, and then set it on fire. They were trying to burn alive those who were inside. They called it a Black Lives Matter protest. Even the fuzzy uber-leftist mayor of Portland finally conceded that this was attempted murder.
Demons now drive the protests on the streets of Democrat controlled cities. We no longer have demonstrations—we have DEMONstrations. You are seeing devils operating, and openly manifesting.
How far from ‘black lives mattering’ is this? Ask the black policeman who was repeatedly called a N_ _ _ _ by white raging BLM protestors. The same officer was trying to reason with a young black woman, when a white girl came up and ordered her away, saying, “You are not allowed to talk to the cops.”
If this is black liberation why are white Marxists ordering black people around? Why aren’t black people allowed to talk to each other? Wait, what?! White BLM people screaming racial slurs at black people? The only explanation is demons. Demons that don’t care about issues. Demons have utterly consumed a movement that has been utterly hijacked, and is doing nothing but rioting and spewing racial hatred.
The veil between the natural and supernatural has been torn. Demonic activity has been unshackled. Out of the bowels of hell has come a cursed compound that is a mixture of white guilt and black fear. It was white guilt that drove corporations, from Coca Cola to media moguls like Disney and ESPN, to repeat “Black Lives Matter” over and over like trained parrots. Black fear drove innocent people of color to surrender to the devilish leadership of BLM.
This mass casting off of all morals and this degeneration is described in detail in the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:1-5, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
Marxists and Antifa terrorists spew the venom described in these verses on our children turning them into raging cyborgs without a cause or a conscience. The light of decency has been snuffed out in these rioters. They are no longer constrained by conscience. They are angry, bloodthirsty brigands who care not who they destroy or why they destroy.
The Bible tells us about the demoniac among the tombs whose name was ‘legion.’ A more pitiful person does not exist anywhere in literature. It says this man “had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones” (Mark 5:3-5).
This is where these youth are headed. The spirits that entered them under the cloak of high ideals are now driving their savage impulses and ultimately, to cause them to debase themselves. But, nevertheless, there is something hopeful: this mass DEMONstration has a towering weakness. Its master, the devil, always overplays his hand. To drive so many young hearts, so quickly, to such depths of rage and debauchery, carries a colossal risk. The People’s Park riots in Berkeley also known as Bloody Thursday May 30th 1969, featured the same disgorging of devils for a “worthy cause.” But out of this and many other such riots in California, came the Jesus Movement.
The vacuum of decency creates a desperation. Soon, even the most avid protestor—feeling how rapidly they are descending into degradation—cries out for God. I believe this, because I saw it in Berkeley!
But there is one particular devil that I dread. Not the one driving the demonstrators to violence—but the one driving the church to silence. “Having a form of godliness, but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” (Verse 5)
If a revival strikes, you do not want to be vaccinated against it by dead religion! When the supernatural harvest comes, you do not want to be hibernating with the hypocrites.
And finally, if you talk about devils, remember what happened to the demoniac in the country of the Gadarenes: “When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me” (Mark 5:6-7).
As soon as Jesus stepped out of the boat, the shock wave of His sandal touching the shore reverberated for miles, until it shook the demoniac and he ran to Jesus—such is our Lord’s dominating power! Thousands of devils were instantly evicted and a hopeless case became a total miracle. It can also happen to a generation!
Only God knows how long the madness on our streets will last, or how far their madness will go. We must not cave-in, either to fear or apathy. This is indeed a dangerous moment for America and yet embedded in that danger is an epic opportunity for revival, after the despair sets in. For you, as a child of God, your greatest danger lies in allowing the dead Christians to talk you into missing your destiny.
