The Day of Apostasy is here Now!

I find this to be common in our day of apostasy.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-3

The Great Apostasy

"2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition,"

The apostasy is here now in our day, many do not recognize it because they have lived in it their entire lives and have never asked God to show them the truth.

"The person God cannot help, the one who does wrong and acts as though it is right." Clifton Jones

We cannot have a discussion with those who will not evaluate their own flaws. Those who can evaluate themselves in honesty will grow and change according to God's principles and not their own ideas of right and wrong.

The culture has no power over those who walk with Christ. Those who walk according to their own ideas to feel special and elevated in the eyes of those around them are helpless and controlled by the culture in which they live.

How to stop being controlled and manipulated by the culture,is to read the word with the desire for the Holy Spirit to teach us, believe Him, evaluate everything according to His Word and then obey Christ.

John 14:21

"Whoever has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him."

John 14:23

"Jesus replied, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him."

John 15:10

"If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and remain in His love."

1 John 2:3

"By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments."

1 John 5:3

"For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome,"

Those who say they believe in Him but do not obey Him, are walking in pride and anger they are lying.

2 Corinthians 11:13

"For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ."

1 John 4:1

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world."

Revelation 2:5

"Therefore, keep in mind how far you have fallen. Repent and perform the deeds you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place."
