The future appears to be coming with many challenges. The wickedness of the kingdom of darkness no longer reveals itself and then disappears again. No, in our time ungodliness, violence, and immorality are not only at the highest levels but they no longer keep silent. Instead the media on all platforms push for evil. This leads to the ever increasing persecution of those who choose to live in obedience to God. The world overplays the strength and bigness of its’ death agenda. God works His plan and Satan stays on the move constantly trying to out maneuver God. As we enter the New Year remember Whom we have faith in.
