These things are basic principles that are real, that are effective, and they work immediately. When I say work, it’s because your Father has already spoken goodness and His blessings over you. So, what’s stopping them? Perhaps it’s time for us to start asking ourselves, how and where am I speaking against the goodness of the Lord, and go find it, wherever it is. Just find it. Start by listening to yourself speak. Then get rid of the negative unrighteousness, because in the time we’re living in right now, it is FOR REAL time.
And honestly, part of me is excited, whereas the other part is mortified. Yes, mortified, because this “for real time right now” cannot be seen by many, just like His Word says, “That they would not recognize the end times.” And if he said it, then it’s true! We’re in the middle of something and some Christian people think we’re just about to begin this end time ordeal, and such thinking will catch them off guard.
Now, listen to me, all of you who realize that we’re in the middle of a season, and that season is about to come to a quick close. Should it overtake your brother or your sister who did not know or were not aware, do not ever scoff at them, but rather, lend them your hand. You pick them up, and remind them that the Father is right? Remind them of that. Never sit in the seat of agreement with the scornful. Don’t do that, but rather, pick them up, encourage them with truth.
I believe many Christians are going to correct how they see and interpret the world real soon. Period! And I’ll tell you this also, a day is coming for many of the perceived highly visible holy people of this world, when experiencing the coming chaos and confusion, will have their hearts fail them. In fact, I think this is a good time to insert Luke 21:8- 28 (MSG) for your review.
8. He said, “Watch out for the doomsday deceivers. Many leaders are going to show up with forged identities claiming, ‘I’m the One,’ or, ‘The end is near.’ Don’t fall for any of that.
9. When you hear of wars and uprisings, keep your head and don’t panic. This is routine history and no sign of the end.”
10. He went on, “Nation will fight nation and ruler fight ruler, over and over.
11. Huge earthquakes will occur in various places. There will be famines. You’ll think at times that the very sky is falling.
12.” But before any of this happens, they’ll arrest you, hunt you down, and drag you to court and jail. It will go from bad to worse, dog-eat-dog, everyone at your throat because you carry my name.
13. You’ll end up on the witness stand, called to testify.
14. Make up your mind right now not to worry about it.
15. I’ll give you the words and wisdom that will reduce all your accusers to stammers and stutters.
16. “You’ll even be turned in by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. Some of you will be killed.
17. There’s no telling who will hate you because of me.
18. Even so, every detail of your body and soul—even the hairs of your head—is in my care; nothing of you will be lost.
19. Staying with it—that’s what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won’t be sorry; you’ll be saved.
20. “When you see soldiers camped all around Jerusalem, then you’ll know that she is about to be devastated.
21. If you’re living in Judea at the time, run for the hills. If you’re in the city, get out quickly. If you’re out in the fields, don’t go home to get your coat.
22. This is Vengeance Day—everything written about it will come to a head.
23. Pregnant and nursing mothers will have it especially hard. Incredible misery! Torrential rage!
24. People dropping like flies; people dragged off to prisons; Jerusalem under the boot of barbarians until the nations finish what was given them to do.
25. “It will seem like all hell has broken loose—sun, moon, stars, earth, sea,
26. in an uproar and everyone all over the world in a panic, the wind knocked out of them by the threat of doom, the powers-that-be quaking.
27. “And then—then! they’ll see the Son of Man welcomed in grand style—a glorious welcome!
28. When all this starts to happen, up on your feet. Stand tall with your heads high. Help is on the way!”
It is good that we review and study such passages to remind us of these coming events. Chaos & confusion may overtake us, including even those institutional voices or self-proclaimed narrative purveyors we humanly tend to gravitate toward for their wisdom as witnessed on our device screens assuredly not aligning well with the truths God has revealed to you, either by Scripture or Spirit, in your body, soul & spirit, heart, mind & will. We must be diligent focusing only on Almighty God and the table He’s prepared for us, substantiated by His Love, Grace & Mercy.
BOTTOM LINE:
And may the Lord have mercy on those people whose lives are wrecked. Don’t point to those people wrecked by the chaos & confusion and say that’s what they get. Don’t do that, and I’ll tell you why. Although the processes of LIFE itself are not certain for anyone, our endings are clearly defined in scripture, for example, as written above.
