There are so many things i desire to discuss with you regarding the times we live in. I may not be able to meet with you for fellowship frequently but it is important that i point out some of the emerging trends to you, so we would be vigilant and watchful. The Holy writ commands, "Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the COURSE OF YOUR LIFE." (Proverbs 4:23, New Living Translation) I believe that, "for lack of knowledge people perish." However, I fear not the general 'ignorance' of my generation but the unwholesome 'knowledge' being forced down its throat. When the Bible talks about 'knowledge,' it's not just the intellectual reference to 'information and facts'. It's the lack of 'the knowledge of Truth' of God's will. 'A half baked truth' is not the same as 'knowing in part' (our maturity and the illumination it brings to us) as referred to in 1 Corinthians 13:12. 'A half baked truth' is designed to poison the soul, to unconsciously reprogram you for the path of destruction. It is designed to mislead you and to distract you from the course of truth while it tickles the intellect. It is information coded to lure you to desire more of it.
In our age and generation, the souls of many people would be imprisoned because of the 'knowledge' fed to their souls. It is called indoctrination, propaganda, programming, auto-suggestion of ideas, mind control, brainwashing. It would be enhanced by the itchy ears of its victims, the longing of their pride and their craving for acceptance and importance in society. They will ingratiate towards the 'staged heroes' who love the adulation of men.
I see the multiplicity of 'talk shows', TV and radio shows, fora, conferences, summits, seminars, this meeting here, that meeting there, and I say, "This is it!"
Meetings are of themselves not bad. However, you may want to re-evaluate what you are being taught with a discerning Spirit.
#What are you being indoctrinated with?
‘‘ …I solemnly urge you before God and before Christ Jesus-who will someday judge the living and the dead when he appears to set up his Kingdom- to preach the Word of God urgently at all times, whenever you get the chance, in season and out, when it is convenient and when it is not. CORRECT and REBUKE your people when they need it, ENCOURAGE them to do right, and all the time be feeding them patiently with God's Word. For there is going to come a time when people won't listen to the truth but will go around looking for TEACHERS WHO WILL TELL THEM JUST WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR. THEY WON'T LISTEN TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS BUT WILL BLITHELY FOLLOW THEIR OWN MISGUIDED IDEAS. Stand steady, and don't be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Bring others to Christ. Leave nothing undone that you ought to do.’’ [2 Timothy 4:1-5, The Living Bible]
You may not be able to tell and discern the grand agenda to enslave your soul and that of the many Jesus Christ died for, unless you are firmly grounded in the Truth of God's word. The Truth which ultimately serves as your sieve,
"For the word that God speaks is alive and full of power (making it active, operative, energizing, and effective); it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and (the immortal) spirit, and of joints and marrow (of the deepest parts of our nature) exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12, Amplified Bible)
Yeah! Yeah! I know,Perhaps at this point the cynics may say, i am also brainwashing you, right. lol. But which would you rather have. The word of God which aligns your soul (mind, will and emotions) with your spiritual nature after it prunes you or the philosophies of men which cannot INTEGRATE your spirit and soul, leaving you often confused,struggling and destroyed.( At best Philosophies of men cause your spiritual nature and soul to OVERLAP)
#The new creation (Species of men in Christ,2 Corinthians 5:17) needs the word of God to develop the character and mindset consistent with his nature. (Acts 20:32)
#As we remember the love of God and His Grace that reached us through Christ, may we renew our commitment to love and service to Him and Humanity. And more importantly to preserve the Truth and preach it more for the salvation of the souls that Jesus Christ saved.
