The Great Forsaking
Is It Here?
Winter is the time of the end of the four seasons, it can also be the end of an age, or the winter time of a persons life or even the winter time of a nations life. God is going to judge the nations for the good and bad they have done. We have entered an age of the last days and the great falling away perhaps is taking place in our midst. This may be the last days of this age but only to begin a glorious new future like the spring. Though we may speak of the end of the nations as we know, the world is not going to perish the world is not going to be destroyed as some would like to think, God is not done, there is still more He has planned though judgement will come. We must be patient for the filling up of Gods kingdom of the souls that are to be saved.
What is here is a few Verses taken from Isaiah the prophet when the people refused to hear the truth spoken. It seems here in these passages that The Lord gave these hearers over to judicial blindness because of their refusal to listen to His Word, that is since they would not take to heart the truth, the Lord told Isaiah to preach more so to make them shut their eyes and ears and mocked the very message that could save them. Today we have the same thing going on in our world as the people wont here the gospel here in our country because they see so much abuse of the word, those who preach on TV for the money and say send in your prayer request and 10 dollars and we will pray for you. Most the people see these types as frauds so they begin to lump all preachers and ministers in the same lump of dough. But the hopeless and lonely will send them their money, those greedy men get rich and the people get nothing. The hopeless are easily deceived and controlled by these false prophets and wolves. The people will put their trust in the man and not the Lord, so when the prayer goes unanswered they become bitter and hardened toward the Lord and begin to feel he is not true to his Word. We also have this revival centered around getting some kind of experience or feelings from the Holy Spirit apart from the Word and some will even lie and twist the bible to suit their own lusts. When a soul is so hungry and wanting so bad to feel something from God they let loose of discernment because everyone says its the Lord, but Satan may be the one deceiving them. So when they get an experience they use it to judge the Word or the Bible and not the Word judging the experience. So they are easily deceived into anything. One particular individual who we questioned on his experience, which was spectacular, that when he prayed concerning if a certain person was a prophet of God or not he was thrown bodily into a wall and no one laid a hand on him. The person who he was praying about was easily discerned a fraud by just the Word of God the Bible, but since he had this "EXPERIENCE" he said "I don't care if the bible says he's not a prophet a thousand times, I will still believe he is because of my experience." This truly did happen as I was the one talking with him. Total and complete blindness enveloped him, closed to any truth. No hope of recovery and no salvation can enter him because of his blindness. That was several years ago and he was joined to a cult group, but on a more recent event and more subtle is the revival of feelings and laughter. The bible tells us we must repent and be sorry for our wrong doings as in James not this frivolous wild meetings that is worked up with fast praise music and hype and fancy talking by a talented speaker, I'm not speaking against fast praise music but using these means to stir up emotions to bring about a flurry of ecstatic feelings that serve no purpose but to inflame the souls to lose control.
James at the right says he resists the proud and when you confront these people they become PROUD and say that they have this revelation and experience above you and can not be bothered anymore from the ones who would question their experience and put a damper on their feelings all they want is more of the same! DECEIVED DECEIVED no man is above Godly reproof from the Word, but the Word will judge us one way or the other.
There was a conversation with a person who had some kind of extra biblical experience after attending one of these meetings and had uncontrollable twitching and jerking (that we witnessed first hand)and when we questioned the validity of the experience he would not here of it because he was now above any kind of reproof because of this experience. He is a CHRISTIAN, the other man wasn't. It may have been more understandable about the unconverted man, but a Christian man being deceived is part and parcel of the falling away from the truth as thousands are becoming infected with this sort of thing. We are to sound an alarm hoping to get the attention of the elect of God who are still hearing. At this hour it may be the last days and few will hear, but herald the truth we will do till our last breath. Jesus is coming whether you believe in the rapture of the Church or the second coming, the truth is Jesus is coming for a church without spot or wrinkle, this is what we are to be and these spots are in the midst of the elect. Do not be Deceived!
