God Is Not Mocked, and God Is Not Asleep

A prophetic word on the war in the Middle East, the American empire, and the eternal freedom of the Spirit

"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap."

— Galatians 6:7

The world is shaking. And many of you are afraid. But before we talk about what is happening, we need to talk about why.

Americans have turned their backs on God. They have taken the sacred and made it a money scheme — selling faith like a product, packaging God like a brand. Do not let that corruption steal your soul. Do not let their version of God make you walk away from the real one.

The Cost of Empire

Our treasure, our blood and tears, our hopes and dreams — all poured out for evil ends. The leaders of this society have used the strength of this nation not to build, but to pillage. The billions spent dropping bombs on foreign lands could have healed the sick, housed the homeless, and given every child in this country a fighting chance through education. Instead, we have bought enemies around the world while our own people suffer at home.

This is not new. Since the end of World War 2, the American empire has visited this same chaos, this same confusion, this same suffering upon nation after nation — for profit, for control, for oil. God was watching then. He is watching now.

"We were never taught to murder others. And God has not forgotten what has been done in our name."

You Are More Than This World

The Church in America is not taken seriously because Americans have chosen the desires of the ego and the flesh over the things of God. They have traded the eternal for the temporary. But I am speaking to you — the one who still believes, the one whose spirit is stirring right now as you read these words.

You must stand solid and firm on the knowledge of God. Not the watered down, commercialized version they sell on television. The real knowledge. The ancient knowledge.

Because here is what they don't want you to remember — you are not just a physical being. You are a Spirit. We have been spiritual beings for thousands of years, long before any empire rose or fell. Rome fell. Babylon fell. And the American empire, like all empires before it, will one day answer to God.

No matter what they do — no matter what war they start, what fear they spread, what lie they sell — I will never surrender my spirit to the enemy. And neither should you.

That is what you are. A Spirit being, living temporarily in a physical body. This earthly body will be left behind. But your spirit is eternal. And eternal things belong to God — not to empires.

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."

— Matthew 24:35

The Two Deaths

Pay witness to the works of the Anti-Christ all around you — the love of money, the chaos, the willful ignorance, and the death. Death to the body and death to the soul.

Understand this truth. There is the first death — the death of the physical body. This we all must pass through. No man escapes it. Rich or poor, powerful or humble, every soul that enters this world in flesh will one day leave it. That is appointed.

But for the enemies of God — for those who have chosen the empire over the eternal, the flesh over the spirit, the love of money over the love of truth — there is reserved a second death. The death of the soul. And that is the death to fear.

This is the knowledge of God. This is the spiritual reality that the powers of this world do not want you to understand — because a people who know who they are in the spirit cannot be controlled.

So do not lose faith. Do not be shaken by the headlines. Do not surrender your soul to the chaos. The sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the cross has already purchased your freedom. You are not a slave to this world or its empires.

You are free.

Amen. Joe Perez
