A Weekly Devotional – The Times – Personal Meditation (3)



A Weekly Devotional – The Times – Personal Meditation

Comment: If you listen Messianic Jews (believers in Jesus Christ) you may be surprised at what they have to say about the church west of Israel. If you are scratching your head as to where this is, that would be most of the churches in the U.S.A. and Canada along with some parts of South America. This is not to say that all of these churches are corrupt, there are remnants (pockets) of ‘Bible Believing churches’ throughout the American continent, but there are not many. You do not have to believe this, but I would suggest that you might give it some thought. Here is one thought to start the process: The Holy Bible says that even the Christ/Messiah does not know the day or the hour when He will return for His church Mark 13:32 NKJV "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. So, if you believe that Jesus will return halfway through the Tribulation, or at the end of the Tribulation are you not dating the very day to the hour of the second advent of Christ. Everyone knows that the Great Tribulation will last seven years.

Devotional: I would say that we need to take HEED to what we are preaching and teaching; that is if you are preaching and teaching. If not; then you ought to be KNOWING what you are listening to on your Sundays. Ministries across this nation are failing to teach the Word of God. If you were to poll the declining number of people who still go to church, you might find yourself asking this question. WHY am I polling a people who say they LOVE God with their lips, but quickly forget that avenue of love; while they drive home on today’s highways? Isaiah 29:13 and Matthew.15:8.

Some will say: “Well we are not living in apostolic times, things change and we need to keep up with the times, do we not?” Glad you made that a question! Jesus Christ is the SAME, YESTERDAY, TODAY and FOREVER. Is not the church an ambassador of Christ? Yes! Then ought not the church be the SAME, YESTERDAY, TODAY and FOREVER? We who go to church are to represent Christ to those who do not come to church., so are we ambassadors of Christ or of the flesh? 2 Corinthians 5:12-21.

Today it is more common to find churches where the Holy Spirit of God is NOT WELCOME, because the human emotional flesh is in control. The Holy Spirit ‘explicitly’ has testified that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons (human and demonic forms of worship). Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own consciences seared with a hot iron (False expressions and false practices).

Politically correctness, forbidding to marry (moral and religious corruption) abstaining from foods to be received with thanksgiving (God HAS created and blest for our nourishment). Sadly, our churches here in the west are a mess. We have traded the simple Truth of God for the lie and deception of the devil and his angels who are very popular. Whether we like it or not this is the trend today in our churches. These churches, swollen with sins of idolatry lead people away from being sanctified by the WORD of GOD and by PRAYER; 1 Timothy 4:1-4. Remember this: The Great Apostasy must come before the Great Tribulation.
