Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD


This is Not Charades – by Abby Kelly

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2 ESV


The verse is painfully familiar—not quite John 3:16 caliber, but all the same, one we mutter so mindlessly that its power of often diluted. It doesn’t catch our attention very much anymore. Perhaps that’s because we haven’t peeled back the English language to see what Paul really said to his original audience. 

In the Greek, the word conform is “syschēmatizō”. It means to change oneself to another’s pattern and bears the connotation of being squeezed into a mold. Transform is “metamorphoō” and means actually becoming something different, to be changed from within. 

It is much easier to conform than it is to be transformed. Sure, it may be uncomfortable but it’s like charades—often immediate and temporary. The Pharisees were excellent conformers. They fit into the mold of “a good person”, but their hearts were far from God. When they rejected Jesus, they refused to drop the act and be transformed. 

In Romans, Paul implies that the transforming is done to us. We are the recipients of transformation. As you can see, too, the word for transform is very close to our word for metamorphosis—usually a process and the result is conspicuously different from the original. When we are transformed from the inside by Christ in us, there will be no mistaking us for we used to be. It is a complete, conspicuous, irreversible, inside-out, character overhaul.
