In submitting this Neil shares details of a visual spiritual attack in the early hours of one night and precedes and concludes the email as follows, and we thank the Lord for His never-ending strong encouragement that Neil should proceed: 

“I had this on the back-burner when a demonic attack persuaded me to finish it…I have had a couple of God-incidences since and am convinced I needed to finish the attached.”

FAITH IN A SEA OF TROUBLE – Neil Mackereth

The Evil That Men Do

I am suffering from information overload! Watching, listening, reading and trying to
fathom (track and make sense of) the labyrinthian and Machiavellian machinations of
the Washington swamp, brought this quote to mind:

“Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive” (Sir Walter Scott)

When Lord?

I am also suffering from the unfulfilled (so far) expectation that truth will prevail. We
stagger from one shocking revelation of deep-state manipulation to another and yet,
nothing seems to change. The network of insiders is so interwoven and self-protecting that any “damage” is either neutralised or bypassed.

In other words, would-be honest investigators find themselves embroiled in such a web of lies, such a morass of skullduggery, that they are either too confused, too frightened, or lack the credibility (clout) to penetrate the protective layers of conspiracy; and certainly not in a way that brings any perpetrators to justice. Many see appeasement as the only option. Turmoil, misfeasance and abuse of power are by no means confined to
the USA; conspiracy, dishonesty and deception are a world-wide malaise.

Faith

Nevertheless, I know that God is in control, nothing escapes His notice and victory is
assured. Faith is the requirement of the day!

We are journeying through huge and frightening storms, and they will get worse. Are
we convinced that our boat is up to the task? Or do we believe we will be swamped?

I had been thinking about this article for several days, and had decided to shelve it.
However, in the wee small hours of Tuesday morning (27/06), I came under demonic
attack. Suffice it to say, it was intense and scary. Later that morning God showed me
a picture, more like an insight, of Christians being persecuted and misled. I had the
clear impression that I was to complete this paper.

The attacks on Christians come in many shapes and forms. The perpetrators include: liberal intellectuals and “theologians”, who seek to reinterpret scripture or disparage biblical values (false prophets); those who worship other gods; brutal tyrants, scheming demagogues and violent despots; demonic interference and those practicing witchcraft and various forms of sorcery; and those who espouse the view that there is no God.
I was shown how the present disturbances affecting Christians are analogous, albeit
now on the world stage, with the harassment, mocking and derision of Jesus and His
followers. As Jesus’ ministry progressed that harassment intensified, and culminated
in His crucifixion. Satan was certain he had succeeded. But the crucifixion wasn’t
“culmination”: Jesus rose from the dead…!!

Similarly, today the outcry against Christians and Christianity is intensifying: the
powers of darkness are in the ascendancy. Satan is manipulating the minds of men
and causing chaos and confusion on many fronts. He is cultivating a “cancel culture”
against Christians. I tell you the truth, a time is coming when Satan will be convinced that he has succeeded in neutralising Christian influence. Then Jesus will return!

Then The End Will Come

In Habakkuk’s time, understanding came later. Likewise, the current turmoil will get
much worse, but in the end (in God’s perfect timing) all will be resolved and the
fullness of the Book of Revelation will be uncovered (understood).

All biblical prophecy will be fulfilled, victory is assured, Jesus will return. We are in
the interim, somewhere on the “birth pains” time line: it has never been more vital for
us to stand firm in our faith and pray without ceasing. “Therefore put on the full
armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” Ephesians 6:13.

Come Lord Jesus!
