Recruitment in the Spiritual Desert

Matthew 4:1-11

Just before I became homeless, living in a homeless shelter for three months, others would ask me, “How are you going to take care of yourself, how will you buy your food?” They wanted me to surrender to the internal government, to receive the mark of the beast. I literally replied that I would rather starve than to become the person they are asking me to be. I don’t ask God to prove the reality His presence by improving my circumstances. The presence of the mark of the beast is enough to verify the reality of God’s Word. In this desert of 2022, I’m determined to hold on to my testimony for Jesus Christ. I’ve had desirable employment offers but there was one significant snag, I had to ditch my human sentimentality and the teachings of Jesus Christ. I refused, tactfully, in my interviews by saying that I believe the customers are the reason a company exists, and I expressed my compassion towards residents in nursing homes and to their families. That’s not what they wanted to hear, they wanted to hear less from human sentimentality and more from the robotic side.

In 2022, there is definitely opposition to human decency, the Word of God, and to Jesus Christ. Spiritual aspects are being replaced by the technology that has access to thoughts, feelings, and behavior. This creates a desert relating to the human spirit forming a relationship with the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Within that spiritual desert is the flourishing of human robots, those who have received the mark of the beast. In that desert, the approaches of those who want to recruit me to work for the society of robots are continuous.

In the desert of 2022, those who represent the system of the mark of the beast seek those willing to betray their humanness and to betray Jesus Christ. In return, those persons are taken out of the desert. They are empowered with the authority to succeed, to be financially secure, and are full of blasphemy against God. Jesus Christ understands the desert that we are in today,

“For this reason, he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” Hebrews 2:17-18
