 END OF DAYS

There is coming a time, and it seems closer now than farther away, when a world “leader” will arise at the culmination of the chaos that we see brewing all around us today. He will promise peace and safety for the whole world IF ONLY the nations will surrender their sovereignty to him. His claim to being able to provide world peace will be preceded with sensory-overwhelming signs, miracles and wonders. These phenomena will not confirm anything he claims, but will proceed his claims so as to cast a spell of awe over the peoples of the earth.

In direct contrast, the miracles done by Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit through the church down through the ages have been manifested to confirm the Word of God proclaimed. Jesus Christ even did many miracles away from the crowds to not call attention to Himself. True Holy Spirit signs and miraculous wonders will always point to Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the only Savior of humanity.

The demonic signs and wonders done by the world “leader” I referred to will not point to Jesus Christ at all. They will be done to attempt to reinforce the claim of this rising “leader” that he is, in fact, God come to earth to save it. The deception will be swallowed by most because they have refused to love the Truth that has already been revealed in Jesus Christ.

Thessalonians 2:9-12 “ This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.  He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the Truth that would save them. So, God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.”

God’s Word makes it clear that those who are indeed on their way to eternal destruction are on that way BECAUSE they have refused to love God’s love for them; they have refused to accept God’s Truth that could save them. God’s Love and Truth grounded solely in the Life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the means of God’s grace for all who will believe Him. There is salvation in no other. There is forgiveness of sin and wickedness in no other.

God will “give over” those who refuse the Truth to a strong delusion, letting them go their own way which will end in eternal destruction. But they don’t have to experience that if they will only turn from self and turn to God that they might actually become whole and fully human again. There is still time left to repent, but time is running out. The day will come when there will not be time to turn, for Judgement will fall. Please, believe and receive what God has done for you in Christ Jesus!

 HIS POWER...HIS PROMISE Helping people walk in the Spirit the devotional below is seminal! The devotion below is today from Oswald Chambers. I makes me think of some I have known that have assumed that the Lord doesn’t want them empowered by the Holy Spirit or that He won’t manifest Himself in them because they have reasoned otherwise. Given ministry opportunities to have the Holy Spirit confirm the Word of God with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power, they rely on how they feel, their experience thus far and not on the reality that the will of God in mission and ministry is either done in the Holy Spirit’s Power or not at all. Our capacity to do what Jesus does has nothing to do with our imagined capacity, but upon the indwelling power of God through is. Now to Him who is able to do far above and beyond what we could ever imagine or think, by His power at work in us now, to Him be glory…   Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told the parable of the bags of gold as a warning ...

  PRAYER Jesus Christ NEVER taught on what we call "unanswered prayer." James wrote that a divided loyalty between trusting the Lord God for life and at the same time relying on the world's systems to get what you want will result in you not getting anything from God you may have prayed about. God will never reinforce the unbelief that flows from divided loyalty. THAT is not unanswered prayer. That is God saying, "No." to your request. God saying, "No." to your requests is not unanswered prayer. It is His grace. His "No" is just what I would want if I knew what He knows. The Lord also answers with, "Not now; not yet." because we are not yet prepared to receive what we think we need. God works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. If I am praying for something God wants to do in me and the Holy Spirit is working in me preparing me to receive what God has in store, His "Not yet." is NOT unanswered prayer. As we see...

 HE IS RISEN! IT IS FINISHED! After the Israelites had passed through the Red Sea by God opening the way for them to be saved, the whole of Pharoah's army, his horsemen and chariots pursued God's people into the opened way. Once they were all in, the waters flowed back into their place with suddenness and fury. Not one of the enemies survived. All perished in those waters. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, all that sin contained, the full measure of the rebellion of mankind for all time, all the wickedness that was ever in human hearts were absorbed into the Lamb of God as He died our death, received our just judgement from God for all time, taking all that sin and death contained. In Him, sin and death died once and for all. They were overwhelmed, covered and drowned in the sea of His precious blood, poured out for the sin of the whole world. Not one enemy remained alive, all were stripped of their power to hold us in slavery to sin any longer. All their weapons were confis...
