ROLLING BACK THE GODDESS
Thursday, May 1, 2025
Shalom, to you, my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission...
In The Return of the Gods, I write of the three gods that were central in the fall of Israel, Baal, Molech, and Ishtar. These same three, whom I call the Dark Trinity, have returned to the West and to America. Ishtar was the goddess of sexual immorality and, specifically, of gender bending, gender confusion, and gender transitioning. Up until recently, Ishtar's agenda has been progressively taking over American and Western culture.
In October 2024, I was in Washington, D.C. with Lou Engle at a mass gathering on the National Mall. I was led to pray specifically against that agenda and that spirit. At the end of the prayer, I smashed the Altar of Ishtar. Less than a month later, Donald Trump was elected president. Since then, we have witnessed something we have never witnessed before, something many believed would never come - the rolling back of Ishtar's agenda.
The new president has sought to ban gender surgery (mutilation) on children, to remove all LGBT propaganda from the Department of Defense, the Department of Education, the State Department, and onward. The new administration has made it official that the American government will recognize that there are only two genders - male and female. The new State Department under Marco Rubio has ordered that the only flag that will fly on American embassies will not be the rainbow flag but the American flag. The new administration has also ordered that biological men are not to compete in sports against biological women, and on and on and on. On top of this, the massive wave and rolling back of this agenda has spread from the government into the larger cultural realm.
What we are witnessing is a potential cultural and societal revolution. In many ways, it stands as the reversal of what began in the 1960s when America began overtly removing God from its public life. And, in many ways, it parallels the biblical accounts of what would happen when a king arose who sought to follow the ways of God, a Jehoshaphat, a Hezekiah, a Josiah, and a Jehu.
At the same time, as I have written here in past months, it is crucial that we do not now become complacent. While we are encouraged by the political and cultural changes, we must take heed. America's departure from God was not primarily political or even cultural, but spiritual. And only a spiritual turning,- as in revival,- can ultimately turn it back. Without that, the rest won't last and the spirits will return in force. Join me in praying for revival in earnest, for real, and as never before. And resolve this month, no matter what, to live in revival. And may God greatly bless you as you do!
