HENCHMEN OF THE DARK LORD

Psalm 5 - 4

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness

neither shall evil dwell with thee.

They are everywhere henchmen of the dark lord.   Government, judicial system, police, workplace,

neighbourhood and they are sniffing out the saints.   Now more than ever the children of a Holy God need the precious gift of discernment.

Counterfeit christians are a deadly foe and among their ranks.   They twist the Word of God and their followers are Nicolaitians.   How Yeshua HATES  'a strong warning' (Revelation 2 - 14 - 15) to those who carry His name but chose to live in the world.

A.W. Tozer in his brilliant book - I talk back to the devil! explains the toxicity of their deadly doctrine,

"once saved - that's it" heavily used by this fraternity.

Non believers are not considered a threat to this great man of God.   He believes in PREVENIENT GRACE his simply understood explanation - it is the work of the Holy Spirit.  Otherwise they will be unable to see the TRUTH and hear the TRUTH.   In one section of the book he explains how as a young man he stood alone in his faith where his family were concerned.  But he stood.   There is no mention of his being an island, considering himself superior or preferred.   He just stood and by his conviction and continuing witness was able to thank God for His saving grace where the members of his family were concerned.

We all have a tendency to look back at what God graciously saved us from, but now more than ever we need to keep our eyes focused on Yeshua and towards the heavens and despite the flack, rejection and humiliation we are sure to receive know that we carry our cross.   That we are on the right path and we are heading home.

We know what the future holds for this world and because we do we are not prone to depression or despair.   Everything is in His hands.  The days will get darker and unimaginable horrors already suffered by many will eventually reach our shores.   Then many will fall to their knees.  

The Lord has a way of dealing with a disobedient people.   Some will "see the light" - a Damascus Road, others he will bring down with the loss of everything they covert until they stand naked before Him.   Many already can't take the pressure, suicides are on the increase.      

Those with strong roots will weather any approaching storm, but don't expect a free ride - a whisk away from it all.  That is not biblical or in accordance with Yeshua's words.

Matthew 24 - 22

and unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved;

but for the ELECT'S SAKE those days will be shortened.

Matthew 24 - 31

And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet,

and they will gather His elect from the four winds,

from one end of Heaven to the other.

Some pilgrims may be in the advance party.   (Pilgrims Progress)  Faithful was literally beaten to death then swiftly removed and spared the rest of the Journey.   But for those of us left behind it will surely get much worse.   WE NEED TO ENSURE OUR ROOTS are deep in the earth of His promise.    Knowing that the end game is won.   All evil will be destroyed in the incineration process.   There will be a new heaven and a new earth - our planet restored and Yeshua's team will rule.    We surely wait and TRUST ADONAI.

Psalm 5 - 12

For you, O Lord, will bless the righteous;

With favor You will surround him as with a shield.

SHALOM.
