We have four kids, two boys (in their early 30’s) and two girls (in their 20’s), and we will NOT be together over Christmas for the first time in their lives… crazy, sad and absolutely RIDICULOUS! **
Pandemic or “plan”demic, I knew in my spirit at the outset that this was going to be used by every corporation, big business and certainly government, at every level, to advance their agendas. However, God is using this wooden yoke to judge His people and to shine a light on EVERY man, beginning first of all with His own household.
For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? (1Pet 4:17)
EVERY man has, at the heart, a hidden agenda. EVERY man has gone his own way and at the heart of EVERY man’s agenda is SELF. God’s definition of the “man of lawlessness” is none other than “SELF”. We are fast approaching the final revelation of Jesus Christ in and through His people. However prior to this glorious unveiling of Christ in the earth, the “man of lawlessness” MUST first be revealed. (2Thes. 2)
We are living in exciting, sobering and perilous times as we see the end of 6 days (6000 years) of the “man of lawlessness” running the show, but what he does not seem to know or understand is that his days are numbered and God is bringing the corrupt and lawless systems of man to an end.
If you are of the NEW MAN, look up for your redemption draws nigh, and TRULY our only hope is CHRIST IN YOU! (Col 1:22)
The all-important question for every true disciple of Christ, at this critical time of unveiling, is… Which “man” is captivating me, taking my time and attention… the natural (old) man, the man of lawlessness along with all of his SELFish ways, or the NEW Man – CHRIST!?
The bottom line is that God has HIS own hidden (mysterious) agenda in all that is happening and therefore THESE THINGS MUST BE! (Matt 26:54, Matt 13:7, Luk 21:9, 1Cor 1:18)
Will you join me in fixing our gaze on HIM, beholding only HIM? It’s in beholding HIM alone that we are transformed! His end game is that He will have a people who will BE His glory in the earth, and We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world. (1Jn 4:16-17 NASB)
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. (1John 3:2-3 NASB)
