For This CAUSE! 11/2/16
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
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.
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;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
DID YOU READ ALL OF THE ABOVE!!??
IF NOT, PLEASE DO SO NOW!!!
I am sure you recognize the above is Scripture-2 Thessalonians 2:1-11.
I purposely deleted all Markings and Chapter numbers.
I want you to read this just as you would a newspaper story or a post on FB OR a report from Drudge Report/CNNNEWS/MSBNEWS/FOXNEWS!!!
Is it not eerily just like TODAY'S headlines!!??
READ IT AGAIN! PLEASE!!??
As I lay AWAKE last Monday night from 2:30 AM, I PRAYED!!
As I have said, perhaps too many times, there is little else to do at that time of night.
But, again as I have said many times, "PRAYER IS NOT JUST US TALKING TO GOD, BUT GOD SPEAKING TO US!"
And SPEAK did God do to me!!!
I believe you will agree with this:
Proverbs 29:2 (KJV)
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
I also BELIEVE Israel made a HUGE mistake when they DEMANDED of God:
1 Samuel 8:6 (KJV)
6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
AND I believe that ANY government produces NOTHING!!
They, ANY government, simply TAKE.
As I lay there, awake and PRAYING, my mind replayed the "current events/headlines" I had ingested that day.
ACCUSATIONS, FBI INVESTIGATIONS, CRIES OF FOWL, LIES, DECEIT!!
THEN, I HEARD the Sweet Voice of my Savior say to me:
2 Thessalonians 2:11 (KJV)
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
Daily, I arise (PTL for arising), and dash to the "news" sites-waiting on "the other shoe" to drop/the smoking gun/ the I GOT YA STORY!"
WHO SAID WHAT/WHO SHOT WHO/WHO IS WINNING?????
But what is God saying:
2 Thessalonians 2:2 (KJV)
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.
THE DAY OF CHRIST IS AT HAND!!!!
Of course, I have my political preferences and views, BUT all that really matters IN THE END is WHAT is God saying/doing!!!
Is GOD sending them "STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE??"
2 Thessalonians 2:12 (KJV)
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Beloved, make no mistake about it:
GOD REALLY THINKS/BELIEVES HE IS GOD!!!!
GOD REALLY THINKS/BELIEVE IT IS HE THAT IS IN CHARGE!!!
Psalm 2:1-6 (KJV)
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
GOD WILL HAVE THE FINAL SAY SO!!!
1 Timothy 2:1-2 (KJV)
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
AMEN AND AMEN!
GOD BLESS YOU!
