¹³ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. ¹⁵ So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. ~ 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Sometimes, darkness is intriguing and alluring. Not because we want to dwell in all manners of evil but because the darkness tries to convince us it’s not actually dark. Darkness sets out small dim lights that we think are lighting up the darkness, but in actuality, it’s just drawing you in deeper into the darkness with a false sense of security. Because instead of the lights getting bright as you go, the already dim light gets dimmer and dimmer until your eyes have fully adjusted and you feel comfortable in the complete darkness surrounding you.

Sometimes, this dim light draws away believers dwelling in actual light because they’re convinced that the dim light is also the light of God because the darkness can’t have any kind of light. But God’s light isn’t dim. In other words, God’s ways aren’t filled with half or part Truths. God’s way is the Truth. But the Devil will try to disguise evil as good and good as evil. He leads many astray this way. He takes a part Truth and mixes it with lies so that he might appeal to believers by offering them the Truth with the sin they desire most. He’s offering them the best of both worlds. But don’t fall for it. His way only leads to death and destruction. Be on guard at all times. Don’t allow anyone to convince you that all you need is their word for it. If Paul had to be checked to see if what he was preaching was Truth, then so does everyone else. So, check each word spoken to you against the Scriptures to make sure that it lines up with God’s word.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Flee Dim Light.

¹² Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short! ~ Revelation 12:12

If we, who are Christians, have loved ones, say our children, who are not serving Jesus, or have not accepted Him as LORD and Savior, then we should be down on our knees day and night with tears and pleas of mercy for them.

It is not God’s will for any to perish. He wants everyone saved, yet many will not be saved because they refuse to believe. They refuse to give up and repent of their sins. Because men love the darkness more than they love the light, this is what’s holding back our loved ones from getting saved.

One of the biggest problems is that they are being educated under the secular educational system, which programs them to believe that there is no God, and even if there were a God, there is no need for God. And this is a worldwide problem. We are living in the last days, so heed the warning God gives us in the book of Revelation. The Devil has come down to the earth in great wrath because he knows he only has a short amount of time left.

If more than a thousand years is a short amount of time for Satan, how much more is the few years we have on this earth to pray for and disciple our loved ones? Pray and fast for your loved ones that the LORD would have mercy on them and soften their hearts towards Him so that they might be saved. Don’t remain idle while they remain on a path that leads to eternal damnation. Stand in the gap for them. Pray for them. Seek the LORD on their behalf. Don’t waste the short time that we have on this earth.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Use Our Short Time.

⁴⁴ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ ⁴⁵ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ ⁴⁶ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. ~ Matthew 25:44-46

As the Church, we are called to be prayer warriors, each and every one of us. We’re supposed to pray for ourselves so that we might not fall into temptation. For our loved ones so that they might be saved or faithfully run the race set before them. But often times we leave out the forgotten. We forget about those Christians in the persecuted Church. We forget to pray for their strength and endurance. We forget them altogether.

This doesn’t seem like a big deal, but this is one of the reasons that Jesus separates the goats from the sheep. Jesus isn’t just talking about physically visiting the saints in prison, but spiritually visiting them. When we pray, we are spiritually seated with Christ in Heavenly places (Ephesians 2:4-7). Therefore, wouldn’t it stand to reason that when we pray for others, we are spiritually with them as well? Paul even writes to the Corinthians that he’s with them in spirit in 1 Corinthians 5:3. We are all one in Christ Jesus, connected by one Spirit; therefore, when we pray for each other, we are connected by that same spirit.

Don’t let anyone be alone in persecution. Pray for the forgotten in those persecuting nations for strength and endurance. Pray that their hearts might not fail them, and that love may encompass them.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Pray For The Forgotten.

¹² Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. ~ Jeremiah 29:12–14

This is a call for the wayward Israelites to return to God, and God will come to them and save them and take them back to the place He had promised them. We have a promise from God. One day Jesus will split the eastern sky and come back to get us, that where He is, there we will be also. Therefore, all men ought to pray and seek God before that great and terrible day for all who are left behind because great and small will cry out in fear as they see the Lamb seated on His glorious throne.

Let today be a day to seek the LORD so that He might restore you to all that the Devil has stolen. All of your hopes, dreams, promises, and, most of all, your peace. Let today be a day to return to the LORD all that you’ve taken from Him. All of your fears, worries, anxieties, and strongholds. Lay all of that at His feet. He paid the price for your freedom and for you to live life more abundantly. Don’t take the heavy yoke back from the LORD when He promised He would carry it for you. Leave it at His feet and take love, joy, peace, and every good gift the LORD has for you.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Only Take Back The Good.

¹ Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near, ~ Joel 2:1

If we look around at all that is going on, we’ll see good is called evil, and evil is called good. The Name of Jesus is being blasphemed even in His own Church. Members of the Body of Christ are living according to the flesh. They’re living as if they will not have to give an account to the judge of the whole world. People care more for trees and animals than they care for human life. Little babies still in the womb are being murdered daily because they are not even seen as human, and it’s all done with the approval and encouragement of world governments. They call it a woman’s right to choose, while God sees it as child sacrifice. We are sacrificing our children just as those ancient civilizations sacrificed their children.

The warning blasts of the trumpet of God are sounding in the spiritual, warning His church to get ready to meet Him in the air. As a matter of fact, there are reports worldwide of people hearing the sound of trumpet blasts. So many people have reported the strange sounds that it has even made the news. We are closer now more than ever to the return of Jesus. There’re signs all around that His return is soon at hand. Are you ready for His return? Is your family ready for His return? As the Ten Days of Awe continue, take today out to pray and intercede on behalf of your unsaved loved ones so that when Jesus returns, they might be caught up to meet Him in the sky as well.

LORD God, I stand in the gap for each and every one of my unsaved loved ones. I pray that You would unveil their eyes and unclog their ears so that they might hear Your gentle knock at the door of their hearts. I pray that You might hear my plea for them and answer my prayer as You promised that You would throughout the Scriptures. I pray that You might replace their heart of stone with a heart of flesh and renew a right spirit within them. Awaken their sleeping spirit within them. I pray that when You return, all of my loved ones and I might be doing the work You have called us to do. Please guide and protect each one of us. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

⁴⁰ And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And He said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ~ Matthew 26:40-41

I heard a man once say that Jesus was the busiest man on earth because He only had 3 ½ years to complete all that God had for Him, yet He always took time out to pray. Jesus understood the importance of prayer. He understood the importance of alone time with His Heavenly Father. Today, we lack the understanding and full importance of prayer. We can’t fully grasp what prayer does because we don’t see what our prayers are doing in the spirit realm.

Our prayers aren’t just empty words. When we pray, we are spiritually seated in Heavenly places with the LORD. The prayers of a righteous person availeth much. It overcomes the darkness, brings forth the breath of life, heals the sick, and redeems the prodigal. Your prayers aren’t useless; they move the very hand of God. So pray. Pray with all that is within you.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Shift the Spirit Realm.
