“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now
restrains will do so until He
is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one (i.e., the antichrist) will
be revealed.” Saints, it is the Spirit filled Church that “restrains” the lawless
spiritual erosion at work in the world, to bring about in God’s timing the
revelation of the antichrist and all the “End-Things” God has foreordained. It
is God who places leaders in power, to fulfill His purposes: Obama won in 2012
because it was God’s will. Our country’s moral and spiritual values are
steadily eroding, our culture is clearly left of center, and America is now humming,
if not marching to the drum beat of the secular progressives. It now may be impossible
for a truly conservative person to be elected president.
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times
will come.” Things are going to get worse as more and more people are blinded
by the god of this world, despising good, loving pleasure, turning away from
the path of righteousness to pursue Fool’s Gold -- the cares, pleasures,
desires, and riches of secular earth life. Many “professing” Christians are
void of the implanted Christ-Life, never having presented their bodies as a “living
sacrifice” to God: Never having allowed the Holy Spirit to take control and transform
their nature into the nature of Christ. They are Christians in name only, wearing
the label but not possessing what they profess, and their numbers will grow. There
will be a great falling away -- we are already seeing it -- the love of many is
growing cold, and powerless forms of “godliness” abound.
Saints, our great Eternal Hope should
deliver us from all despair. We have known this time would come for God’s word
clearly tells of it. Well... now it is here! Spiritual erosion will bring
persecution, and persecution will bring a great harvest for God’s Kingdom, and
soon... very soon, we will all go home to be with Daddy. But for now, we have
work to do. It truly is an exciting time, so... don’t get distracted... don’t
fall asleep... keep your lamps burning brightly… be saturates with the Holy
Spirit of God… set your mind on things above. Be something different: Be Salt! Be
Light! Let people taste and see the goodness of God’s Kingdom flowing out of
you... like a river of living water. And... Let it flow 24/7...
(2 Thess. 2:7-8; 2 Tim. 3:1-5, Matt. 24; 12)
BE SALT…
BE LIGHT…
AND... LET IT FLOW 24/7...
