SOME HAVE THEIR EYES WIDE OPEN

by | Mar 9, 2020 | Christianity Today | 9 comments

Satan is flooding the world with evil.  Many believers are asleep—but not everyone. Some have their eyes wide open.

A lot of churchgoers yearn for soothing sermons. Meanwhile, a growing company seeks to understand authority, brokenness, and Resurrection Life. Who are these ‘others’ who have their eyes wide open?

They are too loud for most. They pray longer and deeper than what is ‘acceptable’ in respectable circles. They do their duty and suffer through meaningless concerts, seminars, and “Christian events.” But, their hearts are not in it.

Many Christians don’t want to talk about spiritual warfare because they hate confrontation.  These ‘others’ know we are at war with principalities and powers of evil.  These ‘abnormals’ are secret weapons—set apart for that perfect moment when God will unleash them on an unsuspecting world.

Professional church builders fear them because they scare away the ‘right people.’ Carnal believers despise them because they are a constant reminder of compromise.

In order to salve their conscience, those who oppose this remnant call them ‘abnormal.’  But they are not abnormal. They are very normal.  We have been subnormal for so long that normal looks abnormal.

Maybe you are one of those Jesus-followers who loves just a little too much—who wants more than everyone thinks is ‘right.’  Maybe they roll their eyes when you talk about things—awesome things you believe God can still do in this dark and evil time. Remember: to some Christians, you are a ‘fanatic.’ But, to them, the definition of a fanatic is anyone who loves Jesus more than they do…

They tell you your agitation is abnormal. They tell you to relax, but that just stokes your inner fire. They tell you, “God is in control and you don’t have to worry.” But you remember the Word of God, and it tells you to do something.  You know that God combs the earth for willing vessels who will throw off the glad rags of religion, take up the mighty weapons of God, and thrust the sword of the Spirit into the heart of the powers of darkness.

Well my ‘normal’ friend, it is time for you know what God is about to do.  It’s time for me to explain you, to you.

What will explain you, and then launch you, is this simple fact: GOD WILL NOT GIVE UP AMERICA WITHOUT A FIGHT.  He will strike with a force and fury that will leave the God-haters stunned and limp.

Satan has grossly underestimated what the Lord is willing to do to spare our nation.  You see that same overconfidence in those who follow the devil.

The concussion will also be felt within the church. Those preachers who traded their divine calling for the rewards of this world—those who flattered and dulled the saints—those who turned God’s army into a harmless social club—will be exposed.  Those who killed the natural urgency of the Body of Christ will be judged in this life, and not just in eternity.

Here’s what wrong with you, my ‘normal’ friend. You have seen the lie. You see that what lies beneath so much of today’s preaching is defeat. What they consider to be an uplifting message is in fact the white flag of surrender. It is summed up in this simple fact: THEY DO NOT BELIEVE AMERICA CAN BE SAVED.

They have resigned themselves to a new goal—a false goal—because they have lost faith in God’s goals.

Satan has sold the church fool’s gold.  Instead of taking up weapons mighty to the tearing down of strongholds, we pursue money, cheap grace, and celebrity, because of defeat and unbelief.

Faith has grown flabby.  They don’t know about the power of our weapons.  They don’t know the limitless extent of our authority.  And, it is because we don’t know our marching orders.  We don’t know what to say to this generation.

So now the stage is set for the ‘normal’ people to be used in extraordinary ways.

They will begin by challenging and defeating the lies of false government and political corruption. Peter recognized when government crossed the line.

Acts 4: 19But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

Peter also understood what to do when a government tries to ban the Gospel:

Acts 5: 28: (the Jewish high council were) saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!” 29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”

The true warrior understands what is going on. They know the Left is coming after our freedom.  They know how they will force feed our children the Antichrist agenda.

What they don’t know is that you are waking up to your purpose and destiny.  God has called you out of the rank and file, the ‘sleepy heads’ who wander in and out of church. You are being groomed for special power in this hour.

The mighty God is creating people to turn the tide of wickedness.  He doesn’t care about your age or your education.  He searches for someone who is travailing over the evil, and who will die without power and purpose.  They want to be in the fight—and they want to be in the thick of it.

Isaiah 6: 8: “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I!  Send me.””

You are not abnormal…you are simply becoming normal! What you were created to be!  The Holy Spirit is energizing you to take a giant leap out of dead church life.  You are about to make a courageous declaration of war on the godless ideologies that are destroying our nation.

You and I will see a harvest of lost souls. We will carry the Gospel to those most victimized by America’s leftist plunge.

You are being overtaken by an irrevocable need to be in the middle of God’s greatest act in history. This is what the normal Christian life is supposed to be. Welcome to the war!

    When you refuse to compromise you wind up in the furnace heated 7 times hotter where Jesus will be seen standing with you. You are actually in the safest place. You can not be bought or sold. You are a soldier of the cross. Be faithful unto death and He will give you the crown of life.

    Love what you’ve said here today Mario!???
    Here’s something that our great Brother Watchman Nee revealed about when God “opened his eyes wide open” regarding ‘The Normal Christian Life’…for those who don’t know his magnificent work(s), Witness Watchman Nee, was converted and born again into Christ on April 28, 1920, served Christ all his adult life then died a persecuted prisoner for Christ in communist China May 1972. Nee was imprisoned, persecuted and sometimes tortured for his testimony about Jesus Christ for 20 years, his wife died in prison also.

    The Kingdom of God is like a treasure found buried etc. I have a problem relating to that so this is what He showed me. If I owed a mansion on the gulf coast, with a yacht and all the trimmings the Kingdom of God makes that look like sleeping under a bridge and eating out of a garbage cans.
    The L-rd is so precious and his presents so sweet being with him is life and breath.

      Yes Shoshanna His responses to us are Life!
      When I recall about foreverness in The Kingdom of Heaven, where eye has not seen, ear has not heard and the mind cannot conceive of all the glories awaiting us there, it brings everything here on earth into sharper focus. Just imagine, with all the incredibly beautiful places and ways God created this earth (not what man has done) and all that is in it, then viewing the cosmic outer regions of space and how magnificently HE created that. These are just glimpses of HIS glory. What gloriousness (what WOW) we shall be living in for eternity, when we get to the place where HE is. Unfathomable ?.

        Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and Grace.

    Thank you so much for this, it is where quite a few of us are at the moment and have felt for years that we didn’t fit, but we know our God. He will save USA and UK a group of us has stood for years on If my people will pray and we know He is faithful. I love your nation as well as my own God Bless America and the United Kingdom and Israel.

    Wow. Some great comments here. Pastor Mario must be pleased. I’ve always known I didn’t “fit”. It was at the root of me drifting away from God and out into the world for many years. I was bored. When God finally got hold of me, chasing me down like the Hound of Heaven, I made 180-degree turn and never looked back. He did something so Supernatural, that it takes pages to explain it to anyone and I only tell it when I know there is someone on the brink and they need a boost over the top to believe. I wish I could tell every young person in the world, that they will tire of the world, it will drag them into a pit and it will take Jesus to step in and rescue them, and bring them the Joy of the Lord, for which there is no comparison.

    Those of you who are spiritual… When we who are saved look at the unsaved people in our lives, we need to remember what it was like for us when we had no hope, no reason for living and the loneliness that we felt before knowing Christ in our lives. Remember that time and it will bring an urgency to share the good news that we have so they can have it too. Remember that you didn’t always have the hope that you have now. Remember how that felt to you. You have what they need. Share it with the people in your life. No greater gift can be given, nothing even comes close.
