Some months ago—before the megachurch pastors starting to embrace practicing homosexuals into leadership and before the Presbyterian Church USA rewrote its constitution to define marriage as “between two people,” the Holy Spirit gave me a disturbing word about the perversion we’re about to see.
Notice I said “about to see.” We’re seeing the rapid rise of perversion even now but I believe this is just the beginning. We’ll see the rise of false prophets who deceive many because, Jesus said, of the increase of wickedness (see Matt. 24:12). The mystery of lawlessness was working in Paul’s day (see 2 Thess. 2:7) and that mystery is revealing the depth of its wicked plot in our day.
When I shared the prophetic word below with my intercessors, it troubled them. I understand why. It troubled me also. I decided to hold it back and pray it through but the Holy Spirit recently reminded me of these words again. These words should not breed fear but should open our eyes to what’s coming, and what, in fact, is already beginning to manifest right before our eyes. Here is the word:
Calling Evil Good and Good Evil
“A tsunami of perversion and all manner of wicked sin is headed toward this nation. You’ve only yet seen the rumblings of what the enemy has planned. For many in your nation have called good evil and called evil good. Many in this nation have not believed you will reap what you sow.
“You have sown iniquity—for decades—and you have taken the hand of perversion. You have walked in step with abominations rather than resisting the temptations to deny my Word and my Son. The perversion in this land will increase and increase and increase.
“There will come a day when morality is no longer merely relative but is persecuted. There will come a day when evil is considered good and good is considered evil. When that day comes, those who are hidden in the shadow of My wings will be insulated from the abominations around them.
“I will raise up the likes of Abraham and Moses to deliver the righteous out of the hand of the wicked in that day. I will shield those who run into my Name. But no longer look and no longer think that you will turn the tide by your prayers alone. These things must be so. I warn you now to fear not, but to ready your hearts. Buy your oil. Be ready for My coming.”
It’s Not Just Sexual Perversion
Yes, we’ve seen the rumblings of this rising perversion but I believe it’s going to grow darker still. When you think of perversion you probably immediately think of sexual perversion—and I believe that’s part of it. The Bible has plenty to say about sexual perversion in Romans 1:21-28 alone and we’re seeing that passage playing out right now.
But sexual immorality—polygamy, homosexuality, adultery, fornication and legal bestiality that I’ve so often addressed—is not the only kind of perversion. There’s perversion of laws, perversion of justice, perversion of speech, perversion of freedom—and most importantly, perversion of God’s Word. Apostasy is rising. The Great Falling Away is underway.
After praying over this and letting it sit for some months, it became clear to me that the root of this tsunami of perversion is actually the perversion of God’s Word itself. You’ve seen a trickle of this, but it’s about to break out like a flood. Again, we’re seeing prominent pastors and entire denominations perverting God’s Word, twisting it to defend and justify perversion itself and suggesting the rest of us are legalistic or unenlightened about the truth. It may have started with the gay marriage doctrine but it won’t end there.
We need to redeem the time, because the days are evil (see Eph. 5:16). We need to make an appeal to heaven for spiritual awakening. I believe the people who walk in darkness can see a great light (see Is. 9:2) if we refuse to stop contending for revival.
Our Only Hope Is a Great Awakening
Back in 2007, the Lord told me things in this nation would grow darker before His light shined brightly again. I believe things are on a course to grow very dark very rapidly. But I also believe in the power of prayer and faith-inspired action. I also believe in the power of preaching the gospel. I also believe God wants to bring transforming revival—a Third Great Awakening—to this nation.
It’s up to us to stand in the gap. It’s up to us to make up the hedge. It’s up to us to weep between the porch and the altar. It’s up to us to pray without ceasing. It’s up to us to decree and declare God’s will on the earth. It’s up to us to speak the truth in love. It’s up to us to take the gospel to our city. Yes, I believe it will grow darker and the perversion will rise, but I believe the glory of the Lord will rise and shine upon us again if we are faithful to obey His commands:
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For the darkness shall cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord shall rise upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you. The nations shall come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising” (Is. 60:1-3). Amen.
