A Dream of Nazi Germany and Its Warning for Today's Church
As a passionate believer in developing a spiritual relationship with the biblical Jesus, I often find myself receiving profound insights through dreams. Recently, I had a dream that transported me back to the time of Nazi Germany, and I believe it holds a powerful message for Christians today.
The Dream: A Glimpse into Darkness
In my dream, I found myself in a building with a man when a Nazi soldier entered. The soldier began berating the man, telling him he was worthless and had to obey the Nazi regime. I felt like an angelic presence, there to bring light into this dark situation.
I told the man, "I'm from the future. This soldier is part of a conspiracy of evil, working for the rulers of darkness. He's trying to brainwash you. You have a future in Jesus, a destiny that's far greater than what this man is telling you."
This encounter reminded me of Jesus' words in Luke 22:52-54, where He spoke about the "hour and the power of darkness" before His crucifixion. Just as Jesus brought light into the darkest moment in history, we are called to be bearers of His light in our world today.
The Parallels to Our Time
As I reflected on this dream, I couldn't help but draw parallels to our current situation in America. The fruit of the Spirit isn't as evident in our streets as it once was. Morality, which was a big deal in the 40s and 50s, seems to have taken a backseat. Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24 that "the love of many shall wax cold because iniquity shall abound." We're seeing this unfold before our eyes.
The Rise of Darkness: A Historical Perspective
The rise of Hitler in Germany serves as a sobering reminder of how darkness can overtake a nation, even one with a strong Christian heritage. In 1933, nearly all Germans identified as Christian, with about 40 million Protestants and 20 million Catholics. Yet, they allowed an evil regime to rise to power.
How did this happen? The answer lies in a combination of factors:
1. Resentment and pride: The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles left Germans feeling humiliated and angry.
2. Manipulation of media and propaganda: Hitler was a master at swaying public opinion.
3. Gradual compromises: People made small concessions until it was too late.
4. Misuse of Scripture: Hitler used Romans 13 to justify submission to his authority.
The Danger of Complacency
In my dream, the man I encountered was resigned to believe the Nazi soldier's lies. He valued the power of the gun more than the power of the cross. This is a stark reminder of how complacency can lead us to make hell our refuge, as Isaiah 28:14-16 warns.
As Christians, we must be vigilant against this kind of complacency. We can't afford to be lukewarm in our faith or silent in the face of evil. Jesus calls us to be the light of the world, not to hide our light under a bushel.
The Call to Action: Be the Light
So, what can we do to push back the darkness in our own time? Here are some practical steps:
1. Engage with those around us: Instead of being distracted by TV or other passive entertainment, let's actively reach out to our neighbors with the love of Christ.
2. Prayer walk our neighborhoods: Let's saturate our communities with prayer.
3. Participate in events like the National Day of Prayer: Join with other believers to intercede for our nation.
4. Study the Word: Don't just cherry-pick verses, but understand the full context of Scripture.
5. Be discerning: Just because someone claims to be Christian doesn't mean they're following Christ's teachings. Look at the fruit of their actions.
A Personal Reflection
This dream has deeply impacted me, reinforcing my commitment to be a light in the darkness. It's easy to get discouraged when we see the state of our world, but we must remember that we serve a God who is greater than any earthly power.
As your brother in Christ and fellow warrior for the Kingdom, I urge you to join me in this mission. Let's not be the kind of Christians who would be fooled by the Antichrist or tempted to take the mark of the beast. Instead, let's be bold, loving, and uncompromising in our faith.
If this message has touched your heart, I encourage you to take action:
1. Share this post with friends and family on social media.
2. Rate and review the Conrad Rocks podcast wherever you listen.
3. Consider supporting our ministry at ConradRocks.net/support.
Together, we can make a difference. Let's dig deeper, go higher, and be the light that pushes back the darkness in our generation.
Until we meet again, may God bless you and keep you in His perfect peace.
