The Storm: It is upon us although it may not be manifesting itself significantly in the Natural on September 3rd, 2010. Certainly, Hurricane Earl is a brute to be reckoned with and we should pray for all in its path, but this meteorological event is but a small part of this Storm.
The line of demarcation between believers and the lost has grown more visible in its definition during the last week of August into the early days of September's tenure. Additionally, those who follow false doctrines such as Mormonism, the Emergent Church, Word Of Faith, and Kingdom Now are increasingly at odds with us who endeavor to follow God's word as it is truly written. Tension is increasing as we all just try to "get along" - but the Gospel truth cannot merely get along with deception. I am sure that I will get mocked and/or scoffed at by some who follow those false doctrines for writing what I have in this paragraph.
Yes, for abiding in the Gospel truth we will be mocked and scoffed, but we must not get cheesed-off. This is one manner in which the Storm is manifesting itself in the Natural; those who disagree with us are becoming increasingly vicious in their attacks - even if those attacks are just verbal or written. Friends are turning on friends and family members are turning on one another. Non-believing family members are turning on believers within the family in ridicule, while attempting to measure the weight of the believers' Christian "works" - which will always fall short in the scoffer's eyes and lead to condemnation of the believer. This activity is of Satan and while we are mocked and scoffed, again, we must not get cheesed-off. In our human flesh this level of serenity is nearly impossible to achieve, but through prayer we can rise above - no matter how much the mocking, scoffing, and condemnation may hurt.
Jesus told His disciples as written in the Gospel of John, Chapter 15, verses 18 and 19: "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."
In these remaining months of 2010, as the bitter winds of this Supernatural Storm continue to blow through the un-insulated cracks in the invisible wall that separates the Supernatural from the Natural - know that the mocking and scoffing of those who walk with the Lord will visibly intensify.
Even brothers and sisters in Christ will be at odds with each other as this tumultuous year winds down and bows like a young Maple tree to the gale-force spiritual winds of the Storm. Some will quarrel over theology and say that the Tribulation is upon us while others will claim that there is no Hell and we must prepare to bring Heaven to Earth. Pre-Tribulation Rapture believers will be confronted by those who don't believe in the Harpazo, and heated battles that should not take place unfortunately will. These disagreements have taken place amongst us for many years, but look for them to intensify as they are today.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, an no one comes to the Father but through Him. Jesus is not a created being ordained by a covenant of false gods. Jesus is not the brother of Lucifer, as Lucifer was a created angel subsequently cast out. Likewise, Jesus' father is not made of flesh and bone but of Spirit. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - three in one - Triune; this my friends is the only GOD and in this we must agree as the Storm rages and the hour grows late.
Jesus is 1/3 of the Godhead and He is Savior and Lord. Look around you this day and know that He is coming for His bride soon.
May we pray?
Folks, I would ask you today to pray as the Holy Spirit leads you. God bless you all.
