These Are Those Days

“These Are Those Days”

Scripture: 1 Tim. 4:1-8, 2 Tim. 3:1-7 (Main text)

Point#1 (Make sure your lifelines up with the word)

Point#2 (Gird up your loins)

Point# 3 (There Is hope)

Saints of God there are many false prophets in the land! teaching things that are not sound doctrine. Beloved this is nothing new because they were false teachers in the biblical days and in the 1st century church who were not a part of the Lord's true church 2 Timothy 2: 19- 20. Child of God the Lord knows who is His and who’s not. This is why he made it clear to us in 2 Tim. 19-20 that in a great house (meaning the church) there are not just vessels of gold and silver, but you also have vessels of wood and earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor”. In other words, the Lord is saying there are both types of people in our churches. Therefore, we must recognize the times we're in and what we’re dealing with. People of God we're living in a time now that some people would rather believe a lie then the truth. Unfortunately, this is not just going on in the world but also in some of our churches.

Saints of God we MUST recognize that the end time prophecies are being fulfilled every day! 1 Timothy 4:1- 2 Therefore we’re seeing people departing the faith and giving themselves over to seducing spirits and teachings of devils. This is happening so much to the point that you can clearly see that some individuals are saying one thing but living and entirely different life. they have a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. People God the Bible instructs us in a Eph.4:14 not be carried away about every wind of doctrine(teaching). Unfortunately, beloved this also occurred during the 1st century church and is still occurring even more so in these last days. Beloved the Holy Spirit is telling us to beware of the false prophets and the false teachers because Satan has dispatch them all throughout the earth to deceive mankind. People of God just because it may sound deep and spiritual that word may not line up with the pureness of the scriptures. A word that is taken out of context is still a perverted word and the enemy knows how to pervert the word to his advantage. Again, child of God if a message that you hear doesn't line up with the word of God you don't have the responsibility to receive it; no matter who its coming from. for the apostle Paul told us in Galatians 1:8 that if we and Angel from heaven preach any other gospel other than we have preach unto you let them be an accursed.”

POINT1 (Make sure your lifelines up with Christ)

Child of God we all need to make sure that your life is ensured by Christ not by man, not by any organization not even by any religious system but by Christ and Christ alone.

Beloved because these last days are so evil, we all need to make sure I'll calling and election sure! In other words, again we need to make sure our lives are lining up with the word of God! I say this beloved because the apostle Paul admonished the elders in Ephesus in Acts 20:28 “to take heed therefore unto themselves other words (keep yourself in check) and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost have made you overseers or bishops to feed the church/ God's people which he had purchased with his own blood. Now notice what the apostle says in the 29th verse “for I know this that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you and not sparing the flock”. Noticed child of God in the 30th verse he says also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them”. Then he goes on to say “watch” remember that I warn you for three years never ceasing day and night with my tears. It’s obvious to me child of God that the Lord gave Paul some insight on what was going to happen after his death. Beloved even in this present day I'm sure that some of our fathers and mothers in the gospel before the Lord called then home warned us that these same things would occur even in our day.

Beloved unfortunately because there are so many false prophets in the land now, the sheep are becoming confused and scattered. They're at a point now that they don't know what to believe anymore because of the false teachings. However, that's what Satan's agenda has always been to create confusion and then divide and conquer.

People of God even though we as leaders encourage you to study to show yourself approved unto God. The reality is that we all still need the fivefold or fourfold ministry to be operating in all churches. Child of God we all still need an anointed preacher and the Holy Ghost to help us to understand the word of God. We need this to be able to make the appropriate applications of it to our lives! (No one person or member of the body has it all) Understand this beloved and anointed, Spirit field preacher is empowered by the Holy Ghost in order to provide to you and I the proper diet of God’s word for our understanding. Therefore, this dispels the myth that you can get it all through your own personal study. That’s just not true for if that would be the case then there would be no need to have the fivefold or fourfold ministry gifts in the body of Christ which was placed in the church for the perfecting or the maturing of the Saints of God.
