World Under Attack Pt. 9: The Silence of Men

With each generation, the world gets more and more evil. It gets more and more wicked. Is it because evil has become more powerful than good, and darkness has overcome the light? Or is there another explanation for the state of the world? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the cause of the trajectory of the world in his sobering message, World Under Attack Pt. 9: The Silence of Men.

World Under Attack

The Silence of Men

¹ For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: ²a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; ³a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; ⁴a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; ⁵a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; ⁶a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; ⁷a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; ⁸a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

World Under Attack Pt. 8: No One Sees

The world we live in is filled with lies and deceit. It seems as if every action described as being for our good was actually designed to be for our destruction. Is this true? And if it is, will there ever be justice? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he gives us a glimpse behind the curtain in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 8: No One Sees.

Isaiah 47:10-13

World Under Attack

No One Sees

¹⁰You felt secure in your wickedness. ‘No one sees me,’ you said. But your ‘wisdom’ and ‘knowledge’ have led you astray, and you said, ‘I am the only one, and there is no other.’ ¹¹So disaster will overtake you, and you won’t be able to charm it away. Calamity will fall upon you, and you won’t be able to buy your way out. A catastrophe will strike you suddenly, one for which you are not prepared. ¹²Now use your magical charms! Use the spells you have worked at all these years! Maybe they will do you some good. Maybe they can make someone afraid of you. ¹³All the advice you receive has made you tired. Where are all your astrologers, those stargazers who make predictions each month? Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds.

Isaiah 47:10-13 (NLT)

²¹Then Jesus asked them, “Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine. ²²For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light. ²³Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

Mark 4:21-23 (NLT)

World Under Attack Pt. 7: Primum Non Nocere

Our society has progressed from the middle ages. We’ve had technological advancements that have affected every part of our lives. We’re constantly advancing in medicine, as well, yet the world seems to have more medical issues and sicknesses. Why does it seem that the more we progress and advance, the more health issues we seem to have? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the seemingly sinister acts behind the curtain in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 7: Primum Non Nocere.

Proverbs 1:20-22
James 4:4
Proverbs 1:23-33
Psalms 103:13

World Under Attack

Primum Non Nocere

²⁰Wisdom shouts in the streets. She cries out in the public square. ²¹She calls to the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in front of the city gate: ²²“How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge?”

Proverbs 1:20-22 (NLT)

⁴You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. ⁵Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit He has placed within us should be faithful to Him. ⁶And He gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” ⁷So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

James 4:4-8 (NLT)

World Under Attack Pt. 6: First, Do No Harm

Many years gone by, there were no fast-food chains or even big supermarkets where we could purchase our food conveniently. No longer do we have to cook every night, now we can just order food and someone else cooks it for us. In fact, someone else will even pick up our order and deliver it right to our front doorstep. We’ve come a long way, but is it for our good? Did we trade in health for convenience or is that just being a conspiracist? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the sinister behind-the-scenes actions of the majority of companies in America today in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 6: First, Do No Harm.

¹⁵And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. ¹⁶Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. ¹⁷These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. ¹⁸They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

Mark 16:15-18 (NLT)

¹³A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits. They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation, saying, “I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out!” ¹⁴Seven sons of Sceva, a leading priest, were doing this.

Acts 19:13-14 (NLT)

World Under Attack Pt. 5: Conquered And Scattered

In today’s world, mass illegal migration has become a huge topic for discussion in our society. There are usually only two sides to this debate, those in favor and those against. Many claim that anyone against mass illegal migration is just a racist, but is that true? Is there maybe something more sinister going on behind those pushing this agenda? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the ill intent behind the many schemes of the elite in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 5: Conquered And Scattered.

³¹Don’t listen to Hezekiah! These are the terms the king of Assyria is offering: Make peace with me—open the gates and come out. Then each of you can continue eating from your own grapevine and fig tree and drinking from your own well. ³²Then I will arrange to take you to another land like this one—a land of grain and new wine, bread and vineyards, olive groves and honey. Choose life instead of death! Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he tries to mislead you by saying, ‘The Lord will rescue us!’

2 Kings 18:31-32 (NLT)

¹²Then King Jehoiachin, along with the queen mother, his advisers, his commanders, and his officials, surrendered to the Babylonians. In the eighth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, he took Jehoiachin prisoner. ¹³As the Lord had said beforehand, Nebuchadnezzar carried away all the treasures from the Lord’s Temple and the royal palace. He stripped away all the gold objects that King Solomon of Israel had placed in the Temple. ¹⁴King Nebuchadnezzar took all of Jerusalem captive, including all the commanders and the best of the soldiers, craftsmen, and artisans—10,000 in all. Only the poorest people were left in the land.

2 Kings 24:12-14 (NLT)

World Under Attack Pt. 4: Plundered Nations

There’s no debate on whether the world is under attack. The majority of the Church will agree that the world is under a strong attack from the enemy, but what does that mean? Does Scripture show us the enemy’s plans and what we can do? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the current attacks of the enemy in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 4: Plundered Nations.

Habakkuk 2:10

World Under Attack

Plundered Nations

⁸Because you have plundered many nations, now all the survivors will plunder you. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence. ⁹What sorrow awaits you who build big houses with money gained dishonestly! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your family’s nest beyond the reach of danger. ¹⁰But by the murders you committed, you have shamed your name and forfeited your lives. ¹¹The very stones in the walls cry out against you, and the beams in the ceilings echo the complaint. ¹²What sorrow awaits you who build cities with money gained through murder and corruption! ¹³Has not the Lord of Heaven’s Armies promised that the wealth of nations will turn to ashes? They work so hard, but all in vain! ¹⁴For as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with an awareness of the glory of the Lord.

Habakkuk 2:8-14 (NLT)

World Under Attack Pt. 3: Stolen Wealth

The world we live in today has many poor and starving people. Jesus said there would always be the poor. Does that mean that that’s just the way things are and there’s nothing we can do about it, or is there a more sinister plan and execution at hand? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he opens our eyes to the truth behind our declining economies in his message, World Under Attack Pt. 3: Stolen Wealth.

Stolen Wealth

⁶But soon their captives will taunt them. They will mock them, saying, ‘What sorrow awaits you thieves! Now you will get what you deserve! You’ve become rich by extortion, but how much longer can this go on?’ ⁷Suddenly, your debtors will take action. They will turn on you and take all you have, while you stand trembling and helpless. ⁸Because you have plundered many nations; now all the survivors will plunder you. You committed murder throughout the countryside and filled the towns with violence.

Habakkuk 2:6–8^NLT

¹¹Then I saw a great white throne and Him who was seated on it. From His presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. ¹²And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. ¹³And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. ¹⁴Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The Destroyers of The Earth

⁸Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ⁹Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

1 Peter 5:8-9 (NIV)

¹⁶And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, ¹⁷saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. ¹⁸The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.”

Revelation 11:16-18

⁹The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. ¹⁰Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. ¹¹They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. ¹²Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”

Revelation 12:9-12 (NIV)

World Under Attack Pt. 1: It Affects Everyone

The world’s hatred for Christianity grows stronger with each generation. It’s very plain, open, and right in front of our eyes; the world doesn’t try to hide it. Jesus warned us of this when He said, “They will hate you for my name’s sake,” but what if Christians aren’t the only ones under attack? What if the world itself is under attack? Who’s attacking the world?

⁷Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, ⁸but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. ⁹And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. ¹⁰And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. ¹¹And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. ¹²Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”

Three Blockers To Spiritual Intimacy

With each generation, it seems like the Church of today gets farther and farther away from the Church we read about in the book of Acts. Why aren’t our prayers being answered?

¹ Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. ²And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. ³Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. ⁴And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” ⁵And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”

Acts 3:1-6

⁹The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. ¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him. ¹¹He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him. ¹²But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, ¹³who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
