ABANDON GOD

Apostasy - the abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief
   If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:8-10 1 Corinthians 6:14 1 Corinthians 15:42-54
      
In the book of Romans 1:18-20 Paul writes "For since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse..."  What invisible attributes?  Creation of life?  Gravity?  Orbit around the sun?  Atomic forces?  Imagination?  Miracles (yes, they do happen)?  Good health?  Atmosphere?  The position of the North Star?  Cloud formation and rain?  Bat navigation by sonar?  Love?

The force that makes things happen are all ordained by God - not by man.  So, why is man so lofty and proud these days?  Why does man believe he can be "master of his own universe", "king of the castle", having "the world revolving around him?" 

The Bible is clear that in the end times man will rise up and try to be as God "staking his claim" without a real thought that the things he "claims as his own" were there before he was born, and will still be there after he dies. 

This section examines the rise of godlessness.  Nature is not god, therefore, communing with nature as the highest form of personal dependence is not godly.  Placing trust in wealth, finance, corporations, yoga, medicine, government, and people is far dimmed to placing trust in God. 

Godlessness starts by removing trust in God.  Then, it moves expands to seeking out others who think like you.  You were enticed, and these people become your friends and support group.  Pretty soon, where you were at one time ( dependent on God to provide ) is shadowed by your belief in your personal goals, ambition, fame, gain, wealth, pride, friendships, heartache, and culture.  Your focus is shifted. 

After the shift away from God, those who are godly start looking like the enemy.  Moral breakdown starts and depending on your personal agenda, you may actually find yourself pushing back against those who stand in your way.  A Pro-Life advocate seem an enemy to an abortionist.  A Pro-Family advocate may seem to be an enemy of a Gay Rights advocate.  Only by knowing God's heart and desire can you have a glimpse of his judgments.  Please note, a true Christian motivated by love is not condemning a rogue lifestyle, but instead warning individuals.  It is part of their mandate of being a Christian. (see Ezekiel 3:17-19)

The ultimate consequence is the final division where people fall away from the Word of God, and give opportunity another to rise speaking to all the needs of the ungodly.  He may will make you rich, not persecute you for being different or allow you to live how you want to live.  He will tell you he cares, while scheming for your demise.  He is the anti-christ.

Lack of Godliness in People

Prophesy

2 Timothy 3:1-5
1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Romans 1:24-27
 24.  Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
 25.  who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
 26.  For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
 27.  Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Spiritual Discussion:  Who can be perfect before a Holy God?  No one.  (Romans 3:23)  However, God never required that we be perfect, but we should instead be righteous.  That righteousness is through Jesus (Romans 3:22).  Yet, the additional thing is examining your heart.  Looking at this content, are you a hypocrite?  Do you mask your Desire for Jesus' salvation with your own passions?  (Romans 6:1-2) 
Matthew 15:7-8 "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: "These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me."

Out of love I share that God will not stop you.  When you choose to stop, God will see you through it.  His words, echoed in your heart, will not return to Him void.  See Revelation 22:11 and understand that God knows all.

Comment  God will not be mocked and His Word stands fast.  Revelation 22:11 demonstrates that you have free-will but it does not advocate for bad choices.  If you think you are living a life of hypocrisy, scroll to the bottom of this page and recite the prayer.  Let Jesus have control of your life choices and let hell be only for those who truly have rejected God.

Persecution of Jesus followers

Prophesy

Revelation 6:9-11
9.   And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 
10.  and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 
11. And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled their course. 

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Matthew 24:9-10
 9.   "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.
10.  "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

The Apostasy

Prophesy

Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

2 Thessalonians 2:2-3
2.  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;


Warnings to the Churches:
Revelation 2:11  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. 

Revelation 20:14-15
14. And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire. 
15. And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. 

Overcoming by testimony of Christ
Luke 10:20  Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. 

Hebrews 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Comment It's interesting that the world seeks to find harmony and a form of love between the world religions.  Yet on a close examination of the Bible's New Testament, the whole purpose of the writing is to expose that we should Love One Another.  Coming to Jesus is how to find harmony and love.  He said, Love One another as I have loved you.  He said, Love your neighbor as yourself.  No one can make religious tolerance look like Christianity.  You either believe in Jesus and receive His Love as a benefit, or you don't.  I do not advocate these humanist viewpoints as a religion and rejecting God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) but do recognize that humanism tries to raise you up without God.  In it is the struggle and when the tribulation comes, and the world is looking for a savior, they will see the antichrist and his false displays of power as a messiah.  Only by cutting you off from the Lord (Adonai) could you find yourself lost when you should be found.

Jesus message of salvation was that all "might be saved" (John 3:17) "through Him."(John 14:6)  He also said  "follow me" (John 10:27).  Therefore, multiple dogma theology is not following Jesus, but, instead harlotry. (1Cor 6:15)  Consider carefully who your friends are as they entice you with every imagination that the world offers today.


"The Sinners Prayer"

 Heavenly Father: ..........................................................................
I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of
my Sins.  I confess with my mouth and believe with my
heart that Jesus is your Son, And that he died on the
Cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have
Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven.  Father, I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now
to come in to my life and be my personal Lord and
Savior. I repent of my Sins and will Worship you all the
day's of my Life!. Because your Word is Truth, I confess
with my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed
by the Blood of Jesus!   In Jesus Name, Amen.
