IN These Last Days
He has CALLED me...
and YOU to this day.
He has called US to live in these last days.
Yes, I believe these ARE the last days.
Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.
2 These people are hypocrites and liars, and their consciences are dead.
- 1 Timothy 4:1 (NLT) Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires.
- 2 Peter 3:3 (NLT) "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.
- Matthew 7:21 (NLT) Hmmm...
Sounds like these days we are in.
Where is the moral compass of our leaders and law makers? Yes, their consciences are dead.
He knew we could handle living in these times though...
even if we do not see it yet! Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing.
Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable.
Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
- Philippians 4:6-8 (NLT) We will NOT be able to think on the things above if we do not guard our mind and ears! So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
- Romans 10:17 Let's look at the "flip side" (opposite) of cometh and hearing in the above Romans Scripture...
Come - go, go away, depart, leave, withdraw, retreat.
Hearing - ignore, reject, disapprove, disagree with.
You see, when we are not setting our minds on the things above and listening to what the word says a.
k.
a GOD, we are telling faith and truth to leave, depart, go away.
We are ignoring, rejecting, and disagreeing with God.
What we hear MATTERS.
Whether it is coming from a news program, blogs, what people are saying, movies, television, etc.
What we HEAR directly affects what will come.
Faith COMES by HEARING.
Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold of the eternal life to which you were summoned, and for which you confessed the good confession of faith before many witnesses.
- I Timothy 6:12 How can we fight the good fight of faith if we are telling faith to leave, depart, go away.
How can we fight the good fight of faith if we are ignoring, rejecting, and disagreeing with God by not hearing the Word of God.
How will we have peace in this current world if we do NOT FILL OUR MINDS with God's Word...
a.
k.
a TRUTH! The flip side of faith is; doubt, uncertainty, skepticism, unbelief, mistrust, denial, dissent, discredit, infidelity, rejection, agnosticism.
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
- Jeremiah 29:11 THAT IS THE TRUTH! No demon...
NO circumstance..
..
NO president...
NOTHING can change what GOD has for us OR His love for US! NOTHING! NO weapon formed against us shall prosper! We are the head and NOT the tail! We are above and not beneath! Greater is He who is IN us than he that is in the world.
Daddy will NEVER leave us or forsake us.
WE are the apple of His EYE! BEWARE of what you allow yourself to hear!!! So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
- Romans 10:17 In these days, we MUST be on guard more than ever.
We must be aware more than ever.
We must PRAY more than ever.
We must seek His Face MORE THAN EVER! We must read His Word MORE THAN EVER! We MUST teach our children His Word and Ways MORE THAN EVER! We have a call my dear Moms of Faith.
We have a CALL! A call to teach our children and to live out loud...
yes OUT LOUD for our Beloved Saviour Jesus Christ.
Let's start a FIRE!!!! "I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold.
I wish that you were one or the other! 16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! - Revelation 3:15-16 (NLT) Copyright © Lara Velez, All Rights Reserved
