"That sinking feeling everything we think is wrong"
Jesus speaks of the end times Lacadonian church. They have pride in
their buildings, their worship, the works of thier hands. They think
because materially they have a roof and bodies they are ok.
He says they cannot see that they we all are poor wretched and blind
totally helpless without Him. Since they are lukewarm Neither cold for
Him they say Jesus nor Hot they don't die to self and follow His words
He spews them out.
I think the spewing out means into exactly what He says. That's
terrifying and few people even bother to contemplate this because they
chose to believe in soothing words tickling their ears that facilitate
their ability to live confirmed to this world and still profess Jesus.
They go to church they to good deeds.
I until I realized how absolutely wrong everything we are taught in this
world is and I an still struggling against my flesh that's saying no it
cannot be that truly we are in a world that the way that seems right is
not. Then only can we humbly begin to see with the eyesalve Jesus gives
us.
What I am seeing is the world its amusements, its pride of life , its
goals are shoved on us from birth. We are told have pride in ourselves
and the works of our hands, that we were born to be ourselves, they we
are all to run the rat race and work ourselves to death for the bread
that perishes, that we are all basically good people, etc.
If we start to question tie we immediately become looked at funny why
are we not running to the same excess of riot? I did nothing New Year's
Eve.
I honestly don't. Want to sleep at night or awake in the morning. Each
day we are perishing in the flesh. Yet everyone is running like they are
not. They refuse to acknowledge the fish are dying, the earth is
shaking, the money they earn is not the end goal.
They and all of us want to live to see a better world in the flesh but
that was never Gods plan. He will provide our daily bread but we must
seek Him first. We must realize that we are breathing because of Him.
That means we owe Him all.
No one wants to humble themselves and admit to God we are nothing that
His thoughts are not ours, that His ways are not ours, that His plan is
to draw to Himself a people confirmed to His Son. That its not really
about us at all.
Because that leads to humility, they say pride. That leads to fearfully
realizing everything is perishing not soothing words. The Hosea prophecy
is occuring all around us moving up the food chain the top is us.
We are the generation that saw a nation reborn we are the ones who do
not have the vain traditions our parents many lived and died in.
The signs are in front of us and even seeing we don't want to see. But
if we humble ourselves and call upon The Lord and let His spirit convict
us we see the snare of the fowler slowly being cast upon all.
The fact is the weather is crazy, its 15 here last week it was 60. The
news is not reporting about the fish the birds the animals and well
people the water is becoming bittet everywhere.
Meteors are falling, volcanos roaring and no one stops to ponder if the
course they are on is right. Gods word in a spirit filled sight is a
lamp that shines the light that this world is walking in vanity and on a
course that seems right but is not. We are all poor wretched naked and
blind in the flesh not debtors to live for it.
Yet we all are surrounded by a world where we are told to work harder,
live for what we will leave our heritage, as week by week say by day the
world is rushing towards a cliff.
We are told vain words that we can live for the abundant here and not to
die to the vain thought that we have a future anywhere except in Heavan
so we should focus on God and Jesus turn off entertainment pick up the
word read it for ourselves not listen to soothing words. Mostly read it
with asking for the Holy Spirit.
I wanted to go Home I see that now we are possibly going to see a peace
deal where everyone rejoices. But God is causing a strong delusion for
those living for here will believe the lies and those seeing the truth
tremble in fear trying to work out their salvation and knowing its all
of God they still know that its a race.
Paul said use your liberty except not to sow to the flesh its exectly
opposite of what anyone is being taught in corporate religion and most
don't get the fact that God bought us we were His anyway but the choice
is seve the world and perish or die to self and serve His SonnAnd Live.
We can pay lip device to this and live like the world or we can actually
try to live through Him. We cannot do it ourselves our flesh cannot
justify that's where people stumble where they say hey it will work out
grace just live they are in error. If we humble ourselves buy the
eyesalve pick up the cross seek to abide in His word Jesus will manifest
Himself and lead us home.
