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!

TEMPTATION COMES FROM OUR OWN DESIRES

Greg Laurie - Saturday, March 10, 2018

Keep Your Distance


  

Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.

—James 1:14

We live in a time when no one wants to accept responsibility for their actions. We’re a nation of victims. We all have diseases. No one uses the phrase “I have sinned” anymore. Now we say, “I am sick.” We blame it on this. We blame it on that.

Yet the Bible says, 

“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death” (James 1:14–15).
For a believer to pray against temptation and then rush into a place of vulnerability is like putting his hands into a fire and then praying they won’t be burned. We bring the repercussions on ourselves. People sometimes walk into temptation thinking, “This is no problem. I can handle it. I’m strong.”

That is what Samson used to think. Time after time the Philistines tried to kill him, but he always came out ahead. He would shake them off like rag dolls. No one could stop him.

The devil sized him up, and instead of trying to bring him down on the battlefield, he focused on bringing him down in the bedroom. Samson discovered what happens when you play around with sin: sin plays around with you. His life ultimately ended as a result.

We need to realize the devil is a powerful foe. The Bible tells us that he “prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8). 

You may think he’s harmless, but he is powerful. He is not more powerful than God, of course. Nor is he even close to being God’s equal. Nevertheless, he is a powerful spirit being, and we want to keep as much distance from him as possible.

When you play around with sin, sin plays around with you.
