The separation of the goats from the sheep is in full swing…
Those who love the good life and look to Trump for salvation and peace are standing with their feet in hardened cement… they will neither look at, nor even think about the Truth; their minds are made up and their loyalty is immovable. They love this world and its pleasures… Heaven is something to talk about at funerals.
Those who love the terrible truth that this world is at its end, are looking towards Heaven with a steadfast gaze. They are prepared to endure Hell on earth. As Paul once wrote, “if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead.”
One group is attracted to the cross, wanting to be identified with Jesus in his suffering and death. The other group wants to skip all the pain and know Christ in the power of his resurrection; without the cross…
Not long ago, people were moving freely from one group to the other… The blind were being cured at an incredible rate… Facebook and other social media abounded with the testimonies of those who suddenly saw and embraced the truth… Not anymore.
Today, the groups are tightly closed. The blind remain blind and swell with pride, embracing the lie. No one who sees the truth is backsliding or falling away from the truth.
The goats are in their corral and the sheep in theirs… The gates are fast sliding shut. The Goats are happy to be away from the sheep and the sheep are thrilled to be with their shepherd.
I am pretty sure that the same thing is happening around the world. In America, the wall of partition between those who have embraced America, the good life and Trump, from those who have embraced Jesus, the cross and Heaven, is standing tall and immovable.
Yet perhaps God will give one more chance. When God called Paul, He said, “I will show him those things which he must suffer for my Name’s sake.” If you are willing to trade the good life for suffering, death and a cross, you must ask God, and you must ask him now!
Trump or Jesus… Heaven or Hell… I am not even certain that the option is still open. Still, you should try… Will you be a good citizen and fight for your country or will you choose to wander as a pilgrim and a stranger in a foreign land? The good life or a cross? The peace that comes from blindness and ignorance or the light that exposes the depth of the evil that surrounds you? Heaven or Hell? Those are the questions you must either face or ignore….
Revelation 13:
9 If anyone has an ear, he should listen:
10 If anyone is destined for captivity,
into captivity he goes.
If anyone is to be killed with a sword,
with a sword he will be killed.This demands the perseverance and faith of the saints.
The end is here, and it is here now…
PRAY-THINK-PRAY
David…
