Greetings and blessings to all of you. In Luke 18:8 the question says, “When Christ returns, will He find any of Faith?” Faith in what or who? Will it be your family? Will it be YOU? Or will it be God? Jesus was serious when He asked this question in the first century. Secularization was going on like it is going on now. It says, “Man does not need God?” That is why you hear and possibly have experienced the “foolishness of man” with the embracing of things such as abortion and euthanasia (to control the population) socialized medicine (mandated vaccines) and gun control (so only the powers that be can protect themselves {not you or I}. For since the Tower of Babel there has been an effort to make government god; and with the combination of FEAR and LIES many people… believers and non-believers have “caved in” to the “worldly wisdom”. This wisdom is characterized by jealousy, selfishness, ego, ambition, with the focus on SELF. God’s wisdom promotes life. Satan’s wisdom destroys it. It wrecks relationships, ruins lives, ravages reputations, and destroys careers. All we have to do is observe how the world is falling apart. Destruction, disorder, divisiveness and evil are on the rise. Understand that God’s value system is not the world’s system. The Almighty operates on a different plane entirely. Saints, if you do not desire more government control you must practice Discernment. James asked, “who is wise and understanding among you?’ Godly wisdom is critical to spiritual maturity, which is the consistent application of the appropriate biblical wisdom to life’s circumstances. Why do you trust the government for your well-being and health? Why do some Pastors allow the government to impose restrictions on their churches? Where is God in all of this increase control? If you do not practice Godly wisdom but worldly wisdom only because it is convenient or pleasing to the flesh(feelings)you will find yourself pleasing man and not God. Saints, in these turbulent times it is very important to read His Word, so we can develop a mind of Christ, understand His values, and in the power of the Holy Spirit do what God wants us to do for such a time as this.
