It doesn’t take a prophecy to realise that the western, democratic nations of the world are under attack. It’s not an obvious, outside-in kind of attack, but an inside-out kind of attack, which is accomplished by stealth and degrees of deception.
Earlier in the year, when our nation (Australia) had not long gone into lockdown, Holy Spirit started showing me some underlying strategies of the enemy, which many governments of the world have sadly come into agreement with. He showed me a vision, which I knew was representative of what the government was – knowingly or unknowingly – doing. I saw a man who was handing out candy to children. I immediately knew that this man was a paedophile and that he was grooming the children to like him and trust him, yet his plans for them were not pure. The Lord then showed me this man as the government handing out money left, right and centre, in the name of economic stimulus. Then I heard the words, YOU ARE BEING GROOMED
Groomed for what? The answer that dropped into my heart was SOCIALISM.
I said to the Lord, ‘I know what capitalism is (the free enterprise and democratic system that we have today) and I know what communism is. But I don’t fully understand socialism… can you please tell me what it is?’ And He immediately spoke this to my heart:
COMMUNISM IS WHERE THE FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE IS TAKEN AWAY BY FORCE. SOCIALISM IS WHERE THE PEOPLE GIVE AWAY THEIR FREEDOM BY CHOICE.
It hit me strongly because I knew it to be true. That had exactly been the design of the lockdowns – to get the people to give away their freedom bit by bit… to become used to being silenced… to become not only conditioned to, but actively participating in establishing new forms of ongoing surveillance and monitoring of their movements… People giving away these freedoms, while being told that the government was looking out for them, developing a way to keep them ‘healed’, providing for them and keeping them safe.
Talk about the great substitution! The last time I looked, we don’t need another Saviour. We already have the only Saviour we will ever need and His name is Jesus Christ! He is the one who protects, heals and provides for us. This is a subtle but dangerous substitution and many in the body of Christ have willingly surrendered their freedoms to the one who has been grooming them.
Sounds like a big conspiracy theory? Well if that’s the case, Holy Spirit is also a conspiracy theorist, because YOU ARE BEING GROOMED were His words, not mine. I might also note that it’s amazing how many ‘conspiracy theories’ are actually being exposed as truth in this past year!
This is not a word to bring condemnation to those who have had genuine financial need because of the decisions made by others, which have negatively impacted them. But it is a word to prompt us to be wise to what the Lord says is really going on, which is this: The aim to make us, as a people, dependent on our government, so that the government becomes the source (instead of God), and the people become fearful and therefore controllable.
What we’ve been told, looks a lot like what happened in the garden of Eden. It’s a great big piece of fruit that carries some truth, with a whole lot of lies hidden behind it. Yes, the apple will taste good… but will it actually be good for us?
Indeed, this grooming is at the hands of the spirit of mammon. The Word of God tells us that You can’t serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24). It’s not that it wouldn’t be a good idea… but that you literally can’t do it, because mammon is not ‘money’ or the ‘love of money’, but mammon is a demonic spiritual principality which stands in opposition to God, and seeks the worship and idolatry of the people. That’s exactly what the global elite are banking on – those whose hearts are governed by mammon will not be able to turn away from the lures of ‘free money’… it’s just that after a while, it turns out that the ‘free money’ actually has strings attached. And lots of them.
What the Lord is looking for right now, are a people who will stand up as Abraham did when the King of Sodom (a type of the government of his time) offered him the spoils of war. What did Abraham (then Abram) say in response?
But Abram replied to the King of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the Lord God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, that I will not accept even a thread, a strap or a sandal, or anything that belongs to you, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’ (Genesis 14:22 – 23).
Our God is well able to provide for us and give each of us a strategy to prosper in this time. It’s about getting into the secret place with Holy Spirit and hearing Him speak to your heart… getting into His Word and letting Him direct a path for you. There was always light in Goshen – the households of the Israelites – while there was yet darkness in Egypt (Exodus 10:23). We are co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17) and we have a full inheritance.
On one hand, it looks like the government is there to care about it, and on the other hand, there’s been a set up to enslave us. On so many levels.
My Bible says that “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children’ (Proverbs 13:22).Yet the governments of the world have instead indebted our children’s children. In Australia, we were essentially debt free on a national level beforehand – now we have been sold into slavery. The borrower is, of course, servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7). Was it actually necessary to go into lockdown and knowingly destroy many businesses and the economic health of the nation? Not all countries chose to do that.
Looking into socialism further, I discovered some more key points. The first thing the Lord did is put a retired veteran in my path at the supermarket. This man is pre-saved but He has three times confirmed prophetically things the Lord had already been saying to me. This time, we struck up a conversation and He just ‘happened’ to say the words: SOCIALISM IS SHARED POVERTY.
Indeed it is! The whole concept behind socialism is that ‘everyone is equal’ economically (although that, of course, does not apply to the ruling class). Instead of free enterprise, entrepreneurship and reward for effort, everyone is taken down to the same level economically, there are no longer any incentives for hard work and creating amazing, problem-solving businesses that bring solutions to our communities and nations, because nobody owns anything, and the people become basically at the whim of those who are governing them. It is ultimate social engineering.
The aims of the ‘Great Reset’ meeting of global elites planned for 2021 in Davos, Switzerland, affirm this. There’s already marketing images coming out which say, ‘You won’t own anything, but you’ll be happy.’ They’re not even trying to hide it – satan always has to expose his hand! This global agenda has already been hard at work creating welfare states in many of our nations, so that the numbers of people who would consider not owning anything and being ‘happy’ will be higher… people who do not have incentive to work to start with, to create and build, but just want somebody to look after them. That’s exactly the agenda socialist governments are working towards. You can imagine the kind of societies this would create.
If you research every nation of the world which has ever gone into socialism, you will find that it has destroyed each nation economically (or is on that journey). And what’s most important to understand is that ultimately, the nation in socialism then comes into communism or dictatorship. Every time. This is the agenda over many of our nations… but the Lord has His own agenda!
The Lord said recently to a dear friend of mine, THE POWER IS IN THE PEOPLE. And it is! A democratic nation can only become a socialist nation if the people of that nation are willing to be deceived and to choose to embark on that slippery slope in which they gradually, and maybe even unknowingly, give away every freedom that they have. Why would someone give away their freedoms unwillingly? When a deceitful, big lie is told that makes something else to be the common enemy and dupes people into succumbing to the new and limiting rules, people agree to a form of living that they never thought they would. Sound familiar, anyone?
Yet it’s not what God is working towards. He is transforming our nations through the obedience of His people who are willing to dream with Him, get their blueprints from heaven, and build what He is building. Satan may well be attempting to groom the people, but the God of all wisdom is shining His light in the darkness to expose every agenda and bring His people into alignment with what HE is doing – transforming the nations! All He asks us to do is to be wise and hear His voice, understand and see what is truly going on, COME OUT OF THE GROOMING, and move forward as He directs. He will take care of what we can’t! Haman is about to hang on the very gallows that he built! It’s going to be a wild ride coming up, but those who know their God and keep their eyes on Him are going to enjoy and be part of the adventure!
