If we are on fire for the Lord, there will be others who come and try to throw water on our fire.
LOL, for the believer the water only serves to increase the fire.

The Children are not Entitled!
Our adult children are not "entitled" to our things, our time or our resources.
If we have something to offer them then it is a gift and completely our decision to give it. If we choose not to give, that too is our choice. Please remember that we are not bad parents or evil people if we choose not to indulge the whims of our adult children.
Selfish and entitled adult children will attempt to manipulate and intimidate us into capitulating to their way, we can simply decide that if we have to give into their demands and put up with their insults to keep them, they are not our friends, nor are they acting like real children, they relinquish their family membership when they treat their parents with contempt.
It is a very serious matter to treat parents spitefully, so serious that this is what God said about it;
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "18 “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, 19 then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, 20 and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ 21 Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear."
Because we live in an age of grace now we no longer stone rebellious children, however the rebellion remains just as serious in God's eyes.
There are so many adult children now who think they have a right to demand things from their parents or boss them as though they had authority over their parents. This is not Biblical nor does it remotely resemble love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;"
God commanded children, young and adults alike to "honor their father and mother." No where in the Word of God do we see God commanding the parents to take care of their adult children. Just the opposite is true, the adult children are commanded to see to the needs of their aging parents.
Ephesians 6:1-3 "1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2“Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3“that it may go well with you and that you may be long-lived on the earth.”…"
Mark 7:8-13
"8 Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition. 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, is to [d]be put to death’; 11 but you say, ‘If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, [e]given to God),’ 12 you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother; 13 thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”"
The modern tradition in recent years has been to intimidate aging parents into taking care of adult children who should be taking care of themselves as well as their aging parents.
It's no wonder that we find so many aging parents experiencing "elder abuse" as well as abandonment on the part of their adult children. The new term for the modern abandonment of aging parents tells all, these neglected parents are called "elder orphans." It isn't bad enough that the adult children are treating their parents like "piggy banks", but they marry people who are also just as demanding and rude. If the aging parents do not praise their children and their spouses or give them whatever they want, the children verbally and physically abuse their elders.
Many aging parents today are deciding to "go no contact" with adult children because of the monstrous disrespect they are so tired of enduring.
This kind of evil hatred is a part of the end times realities.
2 Timothy 3 told us it would be this way. Most of us didn't believe it would necessarily be in our lifetime, but there it is and here we are.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
“Difficult Times Will Come”
3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."
Parents often provide too much for their children, giving them the idea that the children have a right to that which they did not earn. This mentality leads to monstrous ungratefulness.
We are seeing the results of the "self esteem" teaching heaped on our children in the government schools, the apostate churches and the society in general as the concept spread throughout the movies and every other venue.
Now we watch in the television shows and movies, the model that has been portrayed, the insubordinate and disrespectful responses of children toward their parents as the children instruct their parents and the parents whine as the children control the family.
Isaiah 3:11-13 "…11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him. 12 O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And confuse the direction of your paths. 13 The LORD arises to contend, And stands to judge the people.…"
When the children learn they are little gods that every parent should bow to, then the nation is in real trouble, sorry to be the bearer of bad news folks, but we are there now. The children rule everything from kindergarten to NFL football.
Notice please that the age of maturity is climbing into middle age, if at all. Many people in our children's generation never matured past age six, others made it to age twelve, but most never find maturity, they flounder about in insecurity and rebellion without direction and without resolve about anything except their momentary pleasures.
As we move toward the end of the age, the age of the church, we will find it difficult to meet loving, kind and mature individuals who grow into responsible and reasonable adults. We don't have to allow this fact to devastate us, we can be bold and resolute about the truth and move on when these self proclaimed gods will not listen.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
Keep going saints and do not allow yourselves to be too deeply connected to those who would seek to ruin us. Love these people from afar, even pray for them, but do not allow them to control your lives or your mission.
When adult children obey God in honoring us, then they may have a place at our table, if they choose to dishonor us, they may not sit at our table.
Isaiah 26:10 " 10 Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD. "

Ignore the Wicked on the Sidelines
There is a typical tactic of the devil in our world today, "bad will be good and good will be bad." Those that are doing good will be told they are bad people, while the bad people are praised for their evil deeds.
We should not be surprised by this dynamic in the world today. The use of manipulation and intimidation against believers is increasing and intensifying.
When we do a good deed, even so small as cleaning our homes, the narcissist will accuse us of being overly concerned about cleanliness.
When we set a nice table, the narcissist will say they don't like fancy things, even though the kindness was done for them.
When we refuse to indulge in a particular ritual, such as particular holidays, we will be accuse of being "goody two shoes", those who think we are better than others.
I had a friend many years ago whose family decided to throw away the television from their house. They felt it was a distraction from family life and godly principles, so they pitched it. One day the relatives of this family stopped by for a visit. They noticed the television was gone, inquiring why it was gone, they were told we thought it was a distraction and worked against our family values. The relative became angry and accused them of thinking they were better than others.
Fascinating, they were not telling anyone else to get rid of their television, they were merely following the dictates of their own hearts in their own home.
Narcissists hate it when we make decisions differently from them, often because our decisions bring us closer to Christ while their decisions prevent spiritual growth, even promoting sin.
The narcissists attempt to get us both coming and going. No matter what we do, they will judge it as wrong. While accusing us of judging merely by following our own heart, they will judge us as something we are not , but the narcissist is. Often what the narcissist accuses us of, is the very thing we are not doing but they are doing.
The day the Lord made it clear that I don't have to follow the dictates of the culture around me, that I had the freedom to think for myself in terms of the principles of Christ, was the freest day of my life. When God shows us this, we are free indeed, not free to sin, but free to follow Him fully without any false guilt from the wicked and rebellious culture around us.
Deuteronomy 32:5
"They have acted corruptly toward Him, They are not His children, because of their defect; But are a perverse and crooked generation."
Proverbs 30:12
"There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness."
It is this generation that loves to come against the principles of God, so much so that those who choose to do so, will be mocked, demeaned and maligned for their commitment to God.
Luke 9:57-62
"57 As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.”
58 And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
59 And He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
60 But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.”
61 Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.”
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
As those along our path, mock and sneer at us, never leave the path, keep going, as we leave behind those lost and rebellious people, we will experience the peace of Christ, even if no one else go with us.

Trust in the Christ Alone
For all those people who are intrigued with "future telling" and miracles that make them feel special, I am here to tell you that people like Jonathan Cahn are laughing all the way to the bank as they bring many false teachings while those that elevate them are lapping up all his books and videos.
Sadly Cahn is doing exactly the same things as all the other prosperity preachers, teaching that believers are "little gods", that looking into the future through cryptic and vague visions are perfectly alright with God.
God abhors future telling, has forbidden it and is not giving message to people like Cahn as he claims, they are merely ploys of the devil to focus believers on the future and events rather than on Christ Himself.
Leviticus 20:6
“If a person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, I will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people."
God made it very clear that we were not to seek visions and dreams. The Jews will experience authentic dreams of Christ, but not of future telling. There is no need for future telling when God gave us everything we need to know in the Bible.
If we have a need for anything other than what Christ, the Word, gave us in the Bible, then we lack faith, needing to be propped up all the time to maintain our fervor for Christ, we ultimately end up following man rather than our Savior.
There are Muslims who are becoming saved because Christ has appeared to them with the gospel....you see, they don't have the Bible where they are, nor do they have missionaries, because of this the Lord is coming Himself. However, He is not coming to give them future events, He is coming to speak of Himself and their salvation through Him, if they trust Him.
Leviticus 20:27
“A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.”
1 Corinthians 4:6 "6 Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written.” Then you will not take pride in one man over another. "
Did we get this "do not go beyond what is written. We have no need, when we walk by faith, to see any future events for anyone or for the nation. All we need is to trust the Bible and what is written there.
If we trust the Holy Spirit He will give us personal specifics when the time is needed. If we cannot trust the Holy Spirit, feeling a need to look to men and their false visions, then we lack faith and will be drawn into foolishness, unprofitable to us and anyone else watching us.
The bottom line is this: When we trust Christ for salvation, we must then learn to trust Him for each day. All His principles that are needed are in the Bible, right there for all to read, no need to go anywhere else.
Psalm 34:1-22
"34 I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, O children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
and his ears toward their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones;
not one of them is broken.
21 Affliction will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned."

It's Happening Now
If anyone is confused by what is going on all around them every day of the week? The answer is in the Word!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
"1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."
