II Timothy 3:1-5,7 “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy…, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
This passage was brought to my attention recently and one l have referred to in other articles… and I am seeing it more and more in the world today, are you?
Marriage counselors who have affairs with those they are counseling… Politicians who wouldn’t know the truth if it came up and bit them. ‘Family’ men promoting that image who cheat on their wives. Babies born without even knowing who their father is… born and used for government pay- outs. Sexual perversions promoted and encouraged. God taken out of schools. Anti-Christ movement… those with the pretense of ‘Godly intentions’ using them for self-promotion and gain. Bastardizing of scripture to mean what ‘they’ want it to for ‘their’ agenda.
Sisters being hateful to sisters. Family members unable to even hug another as their heart is so cold and hardened. Possessions more important than people. Hate, jealousy, envy, gluttony… look around you… look at what so many have become and how they are behaving… look at their bodies, their faces, their eyes…
People will turn from truth and only see what they crave for their pleasure…
Alcohol, drugs, entertainment, loud music with vile content (example: Lady GAGA), with escape more important than being and communicating with people. Parents who stare at the TV rather than talk to their children. Children on their hand-held gadgets not communicating with peers and family. In the end of times, communication will be fast and abundant, but few will be able to hear the truth.
Fathers obsessed with sports and games ignoring their families and loved ones…escape… escape… escape…
Rule, dominate and control are what so many are obsessed with…
Sex without love…
Power and money on earth may equate to nothing on another level, or plane…it’s the soul the matters…
Look into the eyes of those you interact with… is there a soul in there?
Do their lips smile, but their eyes don’t? Are their eyes dead? Are they cold and hard to the touch with no ability to really express love and giving, even as they may ‘talk’ about it? How a person hugs another can tell you much. And a warm hug, where you can feel the other’s energy, has the potential to heal a wounded heart…
People who think that they are ‘safe’ because of their so-called power, possessions, or money will find that they are not…
Frauds are everywhere… Cain did not kill Abel because he was evil, but because he was good…
The eradication of good is becoming more and more… Evil can’t stand good…and evil is hiding more and more in the ‘pretense’ of good…
Be aware of whom you associate with and where you may find yourself in your town or city. Look around and be aware…
Guard your heart. Guard your soul. Do not be deceived… as deception becomes more intense… Stand clear and strong in the Lord.
