Rising from the Pit
This morning I read through this article. This ties in line with a lot of stuff I am currently studying. I would highly suggest that everyone goes to the link, read through the article, and if you can find the time watch the video.
Iran official: 'Big war' means Mahdi's coming
Military leader ties 'last messiah' to regime's preparations for conflict
At this point we need to understand that in the Islamic world, they are past the whole awaiting of the Mahdi. They believe he is coming soon. We need to be very aware of this fact because it is going to have a direct effect on the future of the world. We are speeding towards the end. It is time for us to be like the sons of Issachar and have understanding of the times. We cannot afford to be asleep to all that is going on in the world. If we think this will not come to America, we are wrong.
We are moving into a period, the
likes of which none of us have seen before. We have to be firmly rooted
in the Scriptures. Ephesians 4:14-15 "That we henceforth be no
more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of
doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ"
It is time for us to stop feeding on the milk, and move to the meat. We must become as the Bereans spoken of in Acts 17:11. Are we walking in the way of the world? Is that path not the broad and wide gate that leads to destruction? "This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having
their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God,
because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of
their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:17-24
It does not mean that we are separated from the world. We are in this world, and we have a purpose and a mission. We have to build relationships with the lost. Through those relationships Christ will give opportunity, and most people are more open to witnessing when their is trust, and they see the evidence of Christ in our lives. But, with that we have to live as we are called. Not to the point of legalism, but having wisdom in all parts of our lives. Dark days lie ahead, we must stand ready to face them, filled with the Holy Spirit. And we must remember that Every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Not matter what, no matter how dark, dangerous, or evil this world becomes; we stand as Kings and Priests of the Almighty God. His is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory Forever!
