Wake Up! New Normal? Really?
‘Wake Up! New Normal? Really?
By Stephen Bennett 17 June 2022
“Wake Up!”
This resounding call is traversing around the whole world; the trumpet sound of irksome irritation… Why? There is so much happening in the breakdown of societies in the nations, on every level; it’s impossible to ignore, as everyone is affected. The rapid fire changes we are all seeing, is intentional, controlled, and manipulated on an insidious global scale; new world agendas, planned for decades, are upheaving the order of life as we have known. It’s happening fast and is accelerating. No, not in ‘years to come’… but now!
“Wake Up!” Nobody can bury their head in the sand. Nobody can say, “I don’t want to know about that, it’s too negative.” Nobody can say, “I don’t believe in the end-times!” You better be wise and believe it, or tear out half the Bible… as we’re already there. Don’t believe the silent, weak, compliant leaders, more concerned with themselves, the brand, and consequent worldliness; expounding, “Its all good, pursue wealth and comfort, live your life, just be happy…” Really? Wake the… up! Heck!
Intense right! That’s the world we live in. Just follow the news feeds. Watch your palm apple from the tree of good and evil that already has a bite out of it, for a growing scroll diagnosis of anxiety and depression-responses, to a sea of negative semantics. If you are unsure, afraid and not ok in life… it’s time to really… “Wake Up!” (Matt 17:17, John 14:27, Rev 1:17).
New Era of History
In the last two years, we have seen the world turned on its head in an unprecedented way; everything has been shaken that can be shaken, and it continues (Hebrews 12:27). New normal? Really? In 2020, we were all knocked for six with a global pandemic, everything was shut down, slowed down, and locked down. We had to navigate a new way of living disrupted, wrestling with fear, and what is really about to happen in the future. In 2021, I wrote a blog stating; ‘we have now transitioned in this time of immense change, into a New Era of History, both in the world and in the Church.’ Things have never been the same, and unlikely to be so, ever again…
Slowly… a ‘New Awakening’ has emerged, but now, it is also accelerating. Not only in spiritual awareness, but millions of people are informed and awake to the lies, deceptions and agendas, that are being enforced upon humanity, post the disruption and brutal attack on our health and immune systems. Next will be a global standoff!

Future Words
In 2021, I spent some extensive periods of time in my day to day routine, praying and listening to the Holy Spirit; asking Him also how to navigate this new time, and what is in the future. It was a progressive journey, and in mid-late 2021, I wrote a bunch of things I had started to see would happen. I didn’t post them back then or make them public, as it is heavy, and I just felt the wisdom to wait… but here we are, half way through 2022… I’m writing them now, as it’s happening; we must wake up! So… this in essence, is the six general points the Lord showed me as I wrote them… (scriptures and thoughts added for your benefit and reference).
1.“A momentum of global chaos is ahead that won’t stop. Perilous times (2 Timothy 3:1). There will be food and petrol shortages (as prices escalate). People will increasingly not be able to afford and run their cars. Expensive cars will become cheaper.”
2. “Global financial collapse is coming; the eventual end of cash as we know it, replaced by a transition into a controlled global, one-world digital currency. Crypto is a side distraction, it will eventually be banned (or of little value and no use as a currency or even a stable asset. It’s a vortex that drew everyone in, igniting the gamble greed for a quick buck, and got them used to digital trading in a volatile world)… but in the days to come a new global currency will take its place. (It won’t be de-centralised, but controlled by a growing world government and banks, that will also continue to control you… in a number of years, it will eventually lead to the Mark of Beast, where you can’t buy or sell unless you’re part of the system… Revelation 13.)
3. “House prices in Australia will brutally crash anywhere up to 50-60% in some places. (This will happen globally all at the same time, as the banking world will cause it… now we are seeing this with building company’s suddenly going broke and the continuous global rise in interest rates, to counteract the ‘sudden’ world inflation).
4. “As things in life open up ‘post pandemic,’ the virus will get worse for a while in various places, then wane. Deaths will continue. Believers will learn to trust God like never before. (But soon after, many more things will accelerate in the world and the obsession of that pandemic narrative will change… to focus on other agendas being pushed).
5.“Branded Church Movements: Hillsong and other man-centric contemporary religions will begin to sadly collapse. They’ve become church culture conforming and based on following men, and in the process grown dysfunctional and powerless in their efforts… (Matt 24:24). Many will leave these groups and find Jesus Christ in a truly renewed relationship… becoming part of a global remnant of believers who are waking up to end-time deceptions that could deceive, ‘if possible, even the elect.’ (Matt 24:24.) They have heeded the Holy Spirit, who is saying, “Come out of her my people.” (Revelation 18:4).
6. “Great needs will emerge amongst families and children (as the world increases its confusion and pressures on families at every level). Many bold, organic and new ministries will emerge at grass roots level; house to house, helping, meeting needs, and praying for one another. (People will learn to live in a true worship life, ‘in spirit and truth’ (John 4:23-24, 14:17). Spiritual life, not based on contemporary religious conformity, but following the Holy Spirit, in love and obedience (Romans 8:14). (True worship of God, is not just a music set list in a corporate over produced production once a week, but a life lived in a continuum of honesty and truth with nothing to hide). The world desperately needs to understand this… and see God exampled powerfully in the lives of believers.
End Time Writers
In 2020, God impressed upon me to really get ready and reacquaint myself with Biblical end-time truth and its message. In 2021, He said to start endtimewriters.com to help encourage a new breed of bold writers and creatives in this time, and in the process, I embarked on a 15 part blog series called, Revelation - The Terrible and the Good. (You can start reading, click the link. Written in a creative, thrilling movie style, in the first person of John. Now released late 2022, as an extended ebook version.

In the Midst of Change
If you are in a church / religious situation, and you are experiencing or struggling in these following things: control, rejection, various abuse, not safe, not happy, being shutdown, shunned, needing to conform to a culture without questioning. You can’t have an opinion that goes against the protocols of the movement or organisation. To be truly involved and accepted you need to go through a series of conforming steps, that will change you to the culture’s ways. If it feels wrong and uncomfortable, use your critical thinking; intelligently question things, and seek answers, don’t put up with the situations. Explore new possibilities, study and know the word, learn to navigate your spiritual life and relationship with Jesus Christ, relevant to the world we live in now. You need to be in a place where true anointing and power is, where you are truly equipped in the ways of Jesus, the word and the Holy Spirit. If you lack wisdom in anything today ask God and He will make a way liberally… (James 1:5).
Always ask for wisdom in every circumstance. (Proverbs 8:9-11)
Always trust in the Lord first (Psalm 37)
World War 3?
Yes… we’re in a world war already; it’s both spiritual and natural. This war actually started in heaven with the devil (the fallen archangel lucifer), who wanted to take over and be god. ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ (Isaiah 14:14). He was then thrown down to the earth from heaven, and has been at war with God the Father and mankind ever since. “For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” (Revelation 12:2). The short time has an end, and little of it is left…
The world war today is unlike the world wars we have known. Yes, there is conventional warfare, as we are seeing with Russia and Ukraine; it is big worldly business and there will continue to be wars (in fact right to the end of time when Jesus returns). ‘See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet’ (Matt 24:6). But today… it’s more a troubling war much closer to home…
It’s now an intentional global attack against all human life; against our health, mental state, our food supplies (2022, millions of chickens, turkeys, cattle and many food production plants are suddenly being killed and destroyed to create ‘food shortages’). There is a war on our resources, global energies (petrol prices are through the roof, and electricity shortages). It’s all affecting how we live, and how we think; fluctuating house prices, global finances, power in deceptive politics, and media propaganda. There’s also such a fierce battle against our children, to confuse and distract them with the rapid changes to accept disgusting evil things. It’s all actually a universal war against The Truth itself; God, the Church, and Jesus Christ the only Saviour of the world (often a cuss byword for many). Ultimately it is an intense war against YOU, and your ability to live.
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times (NOW!) some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods (meats and fowl, actually fit and ok for human consumption) which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving” (1 Timothy 4:1-4).
Stay strong in your relationship and faith in Jesus, don’t depart from it; many church people in these latter times will be drawn into falsity, not wanting truth but will comply to the world’s ways. This war on humanity is deep in all world societies right now, and has its roots in deceiving spirits; demonic doctrines full of lies and hypocrisy, to attack our minds, (even forbidding proper marriage, and controlling what and when we eat in the guise of protecting the planet). It all affects the way we live, our families, and aims to rob you of everything that sustains your life in a godly way. The Holy Spirit, expressly says these things are for our time; take heed. ‘For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived’ (Rev 18:23).
The whole world will eventually be deceived by world leaders all connected of one mind and purpose, who eventually give all their power and control to the demonic beast satanic system of world government (Rev 17:17). We cannot stop this from happening, as God Himself will actually cause all of this, to ultimately fulfil all His words of prophecy; then Jesus will return to earth to claim all that is His.
It’s clearly time to wake up, and we must learn how to fight spiritually in wisdom and faith, and navigate life and purpose in the onslaught of a crumbling world system who’s time is short. No, we won’t go back to normal pre-2020… really? Wake up!
What is Life Worth?
Ask yourself, “What am I giving my life to?” “How do I navigate the future positively, in an ever changing world?” “Do I really know the Lord Jesus Christ?” “Did He really talk about an end of all things?” In answer to the last question… a loud yes… Jesus spoke much about the end in the gospels. If you are a Christian, the Bible says to be diligent, sober minded, prayerful, and watchful, knowing what is coming in the last days (Luke 21:36, 1Peter 4:7, 5:8, Rev 3:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:6). You can’t turn away, it is important to be keenly aware, not living in fear or worry, but secure in grounded faith; anticipating that our salvation draws near, when Jesus does actually return to earth (Romans 13:11).
Your life is inherently wonderful and valuable to the Lord and for impacting this world. If you ignore this truth about the end of these days we live in… you are ignoring the word of God. The words of Jesus about these end days, are in scripture to wake us up; give us signs, wisdom and understanding. New normal on earth? I don’t think so… not now. Follow His words and you will find out… sound the alarm and ‘Wake up!’ (Joel 2:1, Matt 24, Luke 21).
(Writers must tell this world things the world needs to hear. Rise up writers; it’s time to say what people are not saying…).
Do you Believe?
I have heard Christians say, “I don’t believe in the end-times,” or “We don’t go there, it’s too negative and doesn’t help people’s lives.” or “God is about love and He wouldn’t do that.” Oh really… so we just read and believe the bits of the Bible that suit us, as only some of the words are true? That is stupidly unintelligent, illogical and deceptive.
Ask yourself the question: “What type of Christian am I?” Here is a statistical fact; there are over 50,000 versions of Christianity on earth! No wonder people are confused; there is only supposed to be one… If you were the devil, where would you hide out the most? In your red suit with a pitch fork and horns? No, but in religion… as a false light, ‘and no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light,’ (2 Corinth 11:14).
Most false religions and cultic organisations, abuse (some brutally); deceive, dilute, rob, steal, control, punish, blind and grip the hearts of seekers, in an attempt to keep people away from truly knowing the Lord. Some are so subtle you can’t see it straightaway, others are obvious to the knowledgeable; they may even deny the cross and all that Jesus accomplished, or say salvation is earned by your own works. The worst… look like Christian but they are not truly. The percentage of deceptive leaven may be low, but Jesus warns us to be completely aware of it (Matthew 16:6-12). He saw right through the Pharisees Judaic hypocrisy, and the false doctrines of the day, and had no problem calling them out (John 8:44).
The multi-religious confusion today, on every level, is also a direct attack on humanity… for what is true, and should be spiritually normal and powerful. If you understand the Bible (and you can), the end-times are greatly spoken of; prophesied from the beginning to the last page. It’s also a great inherent part of the New Testament gospel, for it’s the culmination of everything that God has always intended for humanity; the earth, the heavens and eternity. As we move into future revival on earth in the Body of Christ, great hunger for God will grow, thousands will be saved in parks, streets and new fresh church moves will grow; healing and deliverance will be normal, as the power of God will be seen breaking out all over the world. Doing a quick work where the world has failed.
It’s never too late to believe. Jesus said, “unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3,7)… that is your awakening, and your eyes are opened. At the start of 2020, the normal as we knew it ended… (the world was already spiralling out of control until then). So what is normal?
New normal is now emerging as not normal at all! Yes… really; will you wake up and see? The question is; “What will you do?”

PRAYER OF FAITH: The Call to give your life to Jesus Christ.
No matter where you are in your Christian walk, Jesus is with you; in your triumphs and trials, to the end! If you have never known God; know this;
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world (ages)” Amen’ Matthew 28:20. ‘But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come’ Matthew 24:13-14.
Pray this prayer from your heart and your spirit will come alive to God, for with him there is hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
“My Father in heaven, I give you my life, I repent of all my sin, recreate me brand new. I give you my heart. Fill me Lord Jesus Christ with Your Holy Spirit. I believe You died for me on the cross, and by Your shed blood, you washed away my sins once and for all. Raise me from my deadness of my life to live a new life, just like you Jesus, when you were raised from the dead; I believe you did that. Make my spirit reborn, and let me come alive too, filled with Your Holy Spirit.”
“I believe I belong to you Lord. Help me to know you well, teach me Your ways, that I become all that I am meant to be. Help me to love and find love. I thank you Lord that you will always be with me, Amen.”
If you have genuinely prayed this prayer to Jesus Christ, in your seeking of God, or you’re coming back to Him, DM Instagram or FB or email. Talk to other Christians you may know, and seek to find a Church where you can grow.
