The Great Deception And The Great Temptation Are Here
TAKE A FIRM STAND
“Now, friends, read these next words carefully. Slow down and don’t go jumping to conclusions regarding the day when our Master, Jesus Christ, will come back and we assemble to welcome him. Don’t let anyone shake you up or get you excited over some breathless report or rumored letter from me that the day of the Master’s arrival has come and gone. Don’t fall for any line like that. Before that day comes, a couple of things have to happen. First, the Apostasy. Second, the debut of the Anarchist, a real dog of Satan. He’ll defy and then take over every so-called god or altar. Having cleared away the opposition, he’ll then set himself up in God’s Temple as “God Almighty.” Don’t you remember me going over all this in detail when I was with you? Are your memories that short?
Even as God right now is working to dismantle darkness, break delusion, and bring as many people as possible to the salvation of His Son Jesus, millions of people when He returns will still openly refuse to repent of their wickedness and rebellion. In fact, a true spirit of iniquity and lawlessness is raging in the streets of America right now- a foretaste of future end time events! These spirits will never cease because they crave bloodshed and vengeance. There is nothing peaceful about them.
I want to encourage the saints and church leaders around the world today to keep preaching the gospel, to continue to make disciples, and pursue the GREATER mystery made available to us in Christ Jesus which is the mystery of godliness.
Do not grow discouraged! The truth is that there will always be the open rebellion, scoffing, mocking, and pure hatred toward God on this earth. (Romans 1) And the lawless and lovers of iniquity will meet the fury of the Bridegroom King when He returns. (Revelation 19).
May the mystery of godliness- the secret, unrestrained, and unmeasured power that lies in the inspiration, truth, and comfort of the Holy Spirit be upon the Church in this hour in ever increasing measure.”
The Spirit and the Bride say come,
Without the outpouring of the Spirit, the Church becomes more concerned with being contaminated by evil than we do of contaminating the world with righteousness.
