Last Days

The bible says in 2 Timothy 3:1" That in the last days perilous times will come-( perilous means times of stress). For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away."

We see this today everywhere we turn and see and hear these things on the news daily. My heart is saddened each time I read some of the decisions that our so-called judges are making. When their opinion becomes the standard instead of God's word then we know that this great nation is on its way down. It is time for all of God's people to rise up in prayer and seek the face of our Father in heaven. We need to make God's word a priority in our lives so we will not be fooled by what is going on today. There are many people right now as you read this that are planning destruction for America. The news seems to not want to publish these facts. The only cure for America is God and respect for His way. When judges make decisions that are in opposition to God's word guess what is going to happen. The bible says we are to be alert because our adversary the devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour. You and I don't want to be the one whom he devours. (1Peter 5:8) So we must be on the lookout for his tactics. When you and I are in prayer and reading the word of God daily or as often as we can we will be alerted to anything that is in opposition to His word. We will turn away from such things. As I stated in a previous article you are important to God. You as a child of God have been given the privilege of audience with Him to make your petitions and believe Him for the answers. 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people who are called by name shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." You and I can do something that will make a difference in our nation and families if we don't get weary and faint. We are not helpless and have influence with the God of glory who is our Father and who wants us to have a future and a hope, peace and not evil. Read Jeremiah 29:11-13 again and then claim it for not only ourselves but for our nation. If God's people refuse to do what He says then we will suffer the consequences. If we obey then the promises of God will be ours. Let's continue to be strong in the things of the Lord. Let us as the bible says "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these other things will be added." (Matthew 6:33) As I close out this article, if you don't know God personally or even if you are not sure read the scriptures at the top of this page, then pray and ask Jesus to forgive your sins, invite Him into your life to take charge of it and then go to a church somewhere and make a public profession of your faith in Him and be baptized. Then attend regularly! Your life will be blessed richly! Chritians lets not "grow weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart." (Galatians 6:9) Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9) We serve an awesome God, nothing is to hard for Him.
