Called By Christ To Be ONE: We’re All Vulnerable

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!

We’re All Vulnerable

LISTEN

In chapter 6 of Matthew’s Gospel, we find what we often call the Lord’s Prayer. We can use it as a basis to explore the principles of prayer that God has given us in the pages of Scripture.

Here Jesus taught us to pray, “And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one” (verse 13 NLT).

Now, does this imply that God could lead us onto a path where we could face temptation? Or, worse yet, does it mean that God could tempt us?

Certainly not. James 1:13 warns,

“Do not say, ‘God is tempting me.’ God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else” (NLT).

James continues, “Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away” (verse 14 NLT).

Thus, Jesus taught us to ask God to guide us so that we won’t depart from His will and place ourselves in the way of temptation. We essentially pray, “Lord, don’t let me be tempted above my capacity to resist. Give me common sense. Help me see the traps and the areas in which I can be vulnerable. Then help me to avoid them.”

The problem with temptation is that we often rationalize it. Maybe you’ve seen the bumper sticker that says, “Lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself.” The Bible warns us about the illusive glamour and trickery of sin.

None of us are above temptation’s pull. We might think that after we study the Bible for a specific amount of time or walk with God for a certain number of years, we will always be able to identify temptation. But that isn’t true.

The enemy is cunning (see Genesis 3:1). We must be careful not to underestimate the pull of temptation in our lives.
