Communism is on the rise in America and seeks to take over the nation without a single revolutionary shot fired.

Communism is found in the public school system.

Communism is found in the political system.

Communism is found in the federal government.

But Communism went out with Gorbachev, right? – The tearing down of the Berlin wall; the fall of the Soviet Union. Wrong.

Communism is alive and well. It’s just not called communism anymore. It is reshaped into a form more acceptable to the American people. It’s called Stakeholder Capitalism and other veiled names. It is disguised and is infiltrating every aspect of American society, especially religious circles. And once the pulpit falls, so will the nation.

Communism is a religion that seeks to replace God with the state. Communist strategists realized that America as a godly nation would never fall into their hands. So a change in strategy had to be employed. The strategy was three-fold:

1) appeal to Americans’ sense of justice by creating victim classes such as women, homosexuals, the environment, and races;

2) convince moral and godly people to believe that communist values are the same as Christian values; and

3) continue teaching secular humanism as aggressively as possible. These victim classes have already been established, and they promote victimization for themselves and project hate toward those who disagree with them.

With women, it is the sexual revolution and feminism—the breakdown of society by breaking down the traditional family structure.

With homosexuals, it is the tolerance and homosexual equality movement—the continued breakdown of the institution of marriage.

Communism has sought to divide the races and inflame animosity between them.

And many have been influenced by the “green revolution” of radical environmentalism that seeks to redistribute wealth to pay for the damage humanity has done to God’s creation.

Communism as an ideology is often found in more socially acceptable terms such as Communitarianism, equity, and social justice orientations, which employs the communistic dialectic to find “common ground for the common good”—all the while saying religion and morality are to be encouraged, but with a new twist.

Not many people these days will admit they are communists, but they will espouse communist ideals as true democracy. A politician can be a member of the Democratic or Republican party and still be an ideological communist.

A pastor can be a leader of a conservative church but be an ideological communist.

It’s not just about what you say; it’s about what you do and what you support.

Communism is the antithesis of God, and it is seeking to destroy a godly nation through its “Critical Thinking” doctrine.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:24, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

Beware of the new communism disguised as something else.

Some of the headlines in the news right now are indicative of just how upside-down the world is. As a matter of fact, it is amazing that the news media would even give some of these people a headline, except the media is about as far from truth and common sense as the earth is from the sun.

Here’s one: Hillary Clinton says that Americans worship guns more than life. This is coming from someone who advocates killing babies in the womb. Howard Stern calls Donald Trump supporters “Morons” who want to live under a dictator. This is coming from a guy who thinks lockdowns and vaccine mandates apparently are not dictatorial. These people judge others from the content of their own hearts.

In Ezekiel 22, the Lord God speaks about a situation in ancient Israel much like what we have in many places around the world, especially in America.

In Verse 25, the Lord God says,

“There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.”

In Verse 29, The Lord says,

“The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.”

He concludes in verse 30,

“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”

Sadly, He found none.

We all like to quote that verse about how the Lord searched for someone who would make up the hedge and stand in the gap before Him for the land, but we rarely quote the last of it, where He found none. Don’t get me wrong. There are many organizations that are standing in the gap, seemingly against overwhelming odds. There are many more people who are asking themselves and others, “What can I do?”

First, seek the Lord. Are there things in your life that are preventing you from seeing what to do? Are you discerning the truth for truth’s sake, or to confirm your own bias? Ask yourself, “what is the mission?” As individuals, we cannot solve all the problems, but the Lord knows you can help solve one of them. Ask the Lord to show you what He wants you to do. Don’t confuse the Lord’s work with political beliefs.

Remember what sets people free from oppression—truth.

As Christ said about his disciples in John 8:32,

“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

We can’t defeat lies with lies. Discern the truth. Finally, taking a stand is doing what you can do where you are.

The Apostle Peter wrote in 1 Peter 2:9,

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”

Peter goes on in verse 12,

“Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.”

Pray. Know who you are. Put on your armor. Dig in. Make a stand. The Lord will work through you.
