Trusting Christ in the Midst of this Life

There are many things going on behind the scenes that we cannot see or prove orchestrated by the devil to bring this country down. I do not dwell on the possibilities because I can't vet them, so I keep my eyes on Christ and look for my blessed hope in the rapture when Christ comes for His church.

As believers in and followers of Christ we are to keep our focus on our home going. In doing this we will not waste time trying to save a nation but we will be invested in speaking the truth of the gospel to the very few who are left who want to hear.

We are living in times just like those of Noah in which it will be rare to find anyone who wants to hear, except in the middle east where God is working without missionaries.

Even the missionaries as a whole have been spreading a false gospel so Christ is coming personally to many in the Middle East where He is beginning to focus His attention on Israel and the Arabs who are becoming open to the gospel.

America is done, the people have bought into many false doctrines and rabidly defend them as though they came from God. They will not budge when they hear the truth and they invest in poking at and demeaning believers who are truth tellers.

Those who will be hated the most in our country are those who point out the false doctrine and live according to the Biblical principles to please Christ Who lives in them.

Romans 8:10—“Christ is in you”

“But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness."

”2 Corinthians 4:6-7 "6 For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ."

7 But we have this treasure in earthen containers so that the extraordinary greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;"

Galatians 2:20

"20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."

If you desire to obey the Scriptures as God gave them to us, you will be hated by many "Christians" who love their false doctrine and humanistic thinking.

Most who say they are Christians do not know what it is to be led by the Holy Spirit. They claim many things God never said, follow the world instead of the mandates in God's Word and mocking and demeaning those who want to live fully for Christ.

Matthew 10:21-22 "…21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.…"

In families the covert rudeness and mean treatment is becoming more subtle and diabolical, meaning from the devil so much so that those who live out their anger will deny the rudeness but never stop its practice. They feel justified in their hate even without good reason, except that we dared to tell the truth about God and His Word.

God's solution to this problem is not to attempt to "talk it out" with the wicked offenders, the more you speak the worse they become, using every word and action as they twist it to mean what we didn't say or do. We cannot reason with those who have chosen hatred and refuse truth.

Isaiah 66:5

You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: "Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!' But they will be put to shame."

Our hope is not in people to change and treat us better, our hope is in Christ that He will preserve our hearts no matter what evil people do. One day soon there will be justice for us and it will be Christ Who carries it out.

Isaiah 66:5,6

Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed"

Hallellujah!!!!
