Extreme Make-over
March 07, 2011
There used to be a television program, called ‘Extreme Make-over’. Within a short period of time, a woman, or man, who was presented on the show as being rather unattractive, was then transformed by professionals and make-up artists into an attractive and appealing new creation. The suggestion was that there had always been appealing qualities hidden within the person’s make-up, which simply had to be recognized and drawn out by the artists.
The world, at the moment, is in need of an extreme make-over, which is in the works and is coming sooner than we think. Its Creator is the only one who can do the job. His creative nature can be compared to that of a potter shaping, tearing down and then beginning the process of reshaping the clay until he has the vessel looking perfect to the eye. It is the eye of the potter, himself, which determines whether or not his vessel reaches his standard of perfection.
America is on the brink of extreme change and a make-over. The Potter is disgusted with the vessel He created and is about to knock it back down to its original state of clay, where it all began. The vessel did not evolve from the beast, but rather took on the image of the beast, over time. This is most unacceptable to the Potter who hates every semblance of the beast, which destroys any vessel of God that it can get its hands on.
The beast, or Satan, employs a standard method for destruction of the human vessels, using pornography and all forms of immoral sex, to destroy the marriage bed and families. He uses Political Correctness to disguise truth, making governments of man the authority in place of the Word of God. He also uses these man-made governments or empires to exalt rulers to a god-like status, creating religious systems as the basis for religious regimes. Such religious regimes war among themselves in order to gain authority over one another. The Potter hates these destructive forces that destroy His vessels.
Now, the Potter is one who works on a six-day schedule, resting on the seventh, allowing seven times to pass over His creation before righting what He sees as a wrong. He will shape and reshape for six days, but on the seventh day, rest comes from His extreme make-over, even though six days of work may not have produced a vessel pleasing to His eye. This is the day when God declares His work is over and He shall judge whether to save or destroy His vessel. One last and final attempt will be made to produce the perfect vessel. It will be regarded, judged and the decision will be made as to whether or not the extreme make-over has been successful so that, indeed, there is a new creation standing before the Lord, which will be most appealing to His senses.
God is the Creator, and man is His creation. When man refused the good food He had provided for him, preferring food fit only for beasts, God then turned man over to the beast to eat of the food that had no life in it as a lie. If man eats the good food of truth, so infinitely superior to the religious food of the beast, his whole countenance begins to change and he takes on a healthy glow, with a face reflecting the light of a new Spirit within him (see Daniel, chapter one).
In the final judgment, on the dawn of the seventh day, God is going to destroy the houses, the clean water, the wealth, the health and the endless supply of food from around the world, which He, alone, has supplied for His people in America. His purpose was for them to have shown the world the benefits of an extreme make-over as the result of a government ruled by His truth, offering liberties not available in religious regimes.
Since God’s people abused their wonderful position in Him, for which the early Americans suffered and fought so hard against evil forces to achieve, He is going to take it all away in an act of extremism that will leave this country reeling as it bottoms out, losing all the benefits it had as a country under Him. Her people will once again live as the beasts of the field in serfdom under foreign rulers who will scorn her, mock her, and offer her nothing. They shall devour the fruit of her labor in the socialism she loved instead of loving her God and her Provider. Her new Community Organizers will set about to reorganize the nation, starting with taking away her provisions for themselves.
Extreme make-over is coming, but it will not make the American more beautiful. Her beauty will be replaced with ashes and her lovely garments with sack cloth and mourning. Get ready, America, for extreme make-over, for the opportunity for repentance and a return to your Maker, God, is all but over.
You refused to be Daniels, so the lions will devour you; you refused to stand before your enemies in the spiritual fortitude of his three friends, so the fire will burn you. Whoever survives the judgment to partake of the make-over will eat grass like the beast of the field until he comes to understanding and lifts his eyes to heaven and blesses the Most High and praises and honors Him who lives forever.
For His dominion is everlasting and His kingdom, from generation to generation, and all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing, especially the Richard Dawkins and all the others in the image of King Nebuchadnezzar who do not have understanding and have never known the God who does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, “What have you done during these six millennia of working at the wheel?” (see Daniel 4:28-35).
God took one look at His vessel, that Pharisee called Saul, and saw a man totally misguided in his zeal for Him; he was a killer in religion like Satan, instead of a saver like Jesus in truth. Because of the blinding light, which had confronted Saul on the road to Damascus, he came through an extreme make-over, which only such a confrontation with the Lord could produce. Saul was reshaped into the apostle Paul, and from that day forward, was perhaps the greatest warrior-soldier for the Lord, which this world has ever known. Saul was the perfect picture of how God can reshape the vessel with one look of His eye, a shock of light, and an infusion of the Holy Spirit. “Shazam!” And a superman was reborn of the man, in the perfect extreme make-over.
The God-haters are going to come to know that they were without reason or understanding, for the Lord is about to return to earth to set up His kingdom. There will be no vessels left, which do not bow before Him on bended knee, knowing exactly who He is as the Son of God and King of the kingdom of heaven on earth. The vessels, which are not broken and returned to dust, will not get it wrong this time for they will have come through the seven-year, extreme make-over program as vessels worthy for the King. They shall be beautiful in His eyes.
