The trade winds have been blowing hard against this country sending the manufacturing lines out of this nation and into faraway lands causing multiple plants who employed a large group of Americans to be much fewer in number. Those who depended on these corporations as their source of income have been given notices that their positions are obsolete and that they are no longer needed. These who have been laid off must find work elsewhere, which usually means taking a job at a rate cut in their pay, as loyalty is now only found going one direction, and coming from those workers who dedicated many years of their lives to help build these companies which are turning them out on the street just so profit margins can increase.
Outsourcing has become the common practice by quite a few corporations who produce in mass, where the jobs most Americans once knew as dependable have begun to vanish because labor is cheaper overseas, thus giving other nations a larger stake in this country over most of her own citizens.
This strong current has sent production and assembly plants outside American borders, for it is true that labor and manufacturing restrictions are fewer in other parts of the world, making the cost of doing business go down while increasing the amount of revenue coming in. But since these corporate leaders are mainly focused on lining their own pockets, “greed” has blinded their choices to outsource, so they have missed the impact their decisions would have, in the long run, on this nation. Some of these executives wound up in bed with other foreign leaders, those who would like nothing better than to undercut America’s economy so that the strength she once retained as the dominant world power is weakened. Although the deals made with a few opposing countries sounded promising, these agreements were designed to steal the wealth of America and undermine her financial stability.
Because a certain foreign nation knew that a show of military force would not be successful against a country who prides itself on having such well-trained soldiers, a plan was hatched to cripple America by minimizing her financial base, where most of her resources and wealth flowed out of this country and into their hands. Then, this foreign nation quietly set its trap by luring American business leaders into lucrative partnerships that would eventually leave these foreign leaders holding most of the cards. For if the main sources of supply were being produced in their land, then the control of output would be up to them, as well. Then, at any time, these foreign leaders could cut off the exportation of certain goods, for they do not live under the same flag of democracy, and play by a different set of rules, as their main objective is being the lone superpower of this world.
A subtle strike was then initiated that would not be immediately recognized as a hostile move. Little by little, as this easterly wind has continued to blow, it has carried away some of the under girth that has kept America strong. And since the leaders of this foreign nation see human life as only holding value when useful to them, their plan has disregarded the human suffering and hardship it will cause, as simply casualties factored in when they started this trade war; for winning is still all that matters to them. And because these callous leaders consider human decency or compassion a weakness, even the exploitation of their own people is considered acceptable if it leads to gaining more power, and maintaining the control they already hold.
So, to think this current pandemic was an accident, or that it derived from bats sold in a market is simply a lie to cover up what these callous leaders were doing behind the scenes. For they were searching out ways to speed up their efforts of becoming number one in the world; which is why these callous men had no problem infecting their own country to see how well this concocted virus would work, regardless of how many lives were lost in the process.
Then, just as My people were tricked into making treaties with enemy nations, oh so many business leaders of America have been duped by this foreign nation, for these callous leaders misrepresented their true motives and came disguised as friends, who wanted to make deals that would benefit both sides. But as it was with Joshua, My people learned, alliances formed with opposing countries are not easily broken, and seldom reveal upfront, the real reason for the agreement.
Therefore, the presence of this foreign nation will still be felt here in America until many of these contracts expire or are renegotiated. For though some American manufacturers will try to arrive at some sort of early out, and settle on an amount that will break them free from the hold of this foreign nation, quite a few who bow to the spirit of mammon, won’t see a problem with continuing their partnership, even when the truth about the pandemic is revealed.
However, instead of becoming incensed over the trickery of these callous men, My own should remember that My good is still being done in both lands, for some who were sent to this foreign nation to help set up the factories and plants know My name, and have used their time behind this Great Wall to spread the Gospel message and encourage some believers who live there. And because part of the trade negotiations between these two countries was to allow students from this foreign nation into the places of higher education in America, some of these students crossed paths with believers, where not only seeds of faith were planted, but salvation sprang forth that would not have been possible if these lost souls had stayed behind the strong wall of Communism.
So, although many of My children have pledged allegiance to this flag, and consider themselves loyalists to this land of Liberty, however, now, their true nationality has its origins in a Kingdom without borders: one which welcomes any and all regardless of where they were born.
It is these inroads of My goodness that were opened because of man’s evil plans, for I am still able to work out My will through the schemes of corrupt human beings. As a result, believers should avoid holding offense or prejudice against any people group, even those who hail from this foreign nation.
When believers adapt to My way of thinking, even those considered personal or even national enemies are thought of as friends. For with this heavenly mindset, it should not be forgotten that each person alive was given life by My hand, held with the same sovereign worth, and are therefore, dear to My heart. Instead of holding contempt towards another nationality because its leaders are corrupt, remember that there are spiritual forces at work in this world who would like nothing better than to drive deeper wedges between countries as a whole, whose people hold specific biases towards other races, against those they don’t even know. My own must stay away from adopting these types of attitudes, for Jesus was sacrificed so that the Spirit (who is peace) could come and move on the hearts of all mankind. So then, it is with hopeful expectancy that My own should face every circumstance, even when only evil can be seen on the surface. For within these troubling situations or times, they are to, again, be expectantly waiting for My goodness to be revealed.
Then, situate your thoughts on things above and let your posture reflect the love of the Savior, who saw every human being worth the cost of His life, so that none can say some don’t deserve His gift of grace because of their crimes toward humanity. For though some may have behaved in reprehensible ways towards others, the power of His forgiveness is still able to wash these clean and blameless. So, it is right to assume that I am still eager to see these foreign leaders turn to Me in repentance. My own must, therefore, avoid using another’s sinfulness to determine how they see that person, for it is always the heart underneath that I am after.
This is why you must allow My love to be the rudder which guides your feelings so that you don’t travel down the waters of bias. For when those who expect to be treated with prejudice are greeted with kindness, the barriers of animosity reinforced by the enemy crumble and eventually fall down. Then, be promoters of peace and love, for the message of eternal hope came for all, even those so steeped in corruption. Speak this message to all who will listen, for you might be surprised by the response you receive, as it is often the most hardened who perceive their deepest need for redemption and who will easily accept the Savior.
Then, don’t discount that My good is at work still today. For though most cannot see what is happening behind the Great Wall of this foreign nation, My Church is thriving and burning with the fire of My Spirit. Therefore, join these believers in prayer instead of judging their country. Though most of these callous leaders have hearts of stone, there is still hope for a few. Is it too far a stretch to see some who launched this pandemic find the road to salvation?
So, pray that there is a national shift, where the wall of evil surrounding this foreign country falls, and it is able to return to the faithful land it was once before. Then this nation will no longer be seen as an enemy force to not only America and many other countries but will be known for its true goodwill as a generous country because the freedom to openly worship Me has been restored all across its land.
“And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward Him and find Him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for “In Him we live and move and have our being”, as even some of your own poets said, “For we are indeed His offspring.” Acts 17:26-28
