Recognize the Signs of Time

People who profess to be guides and spiritual leaders are nothing more than the old familiar spirit of the 21st Century Pharisees and Sadducees movement.  They have entered through another way and have usurped dominion that doesn't belong to them.  They ARE NOT SENT BY GOD, set up their own thrones to be shepherds, guides, and rulers of themselves and people.  They deny the Christ and are blind leading the blind; therefore, they are considered thieves and robbers. 

Jesus admonished us in Matthew 7:13 to enter through the Strait Gate.  If you go in any other way, you are considered a thief and a robber.  Why?  Because there is ONLY ONE WAY - ONE CORRECT and LEGAL WAY that has been given to man to enter into the sheepfold.  JESUS IS THE DOOR! 

The "Path", “spiritual journey”, or the "great highway" that many are seeking and many tread on today is BROAD and MANY you will find there.  The way of the ungodly is broad, and in every way, agreeable to the flesh, full of vices, and carries with it a wealth of grand company.  However, its end leads and is destruction.  They bow, worship, give credence, and pray to idols, and if fallen, CAN’T GET UP, let alone, speak, hear or answer ANY prayers. 

Watch for the hireling - the false teachers, guides, and "spiritists" who DO NOT teach the teachings of Christ but of SOME OTHER.  We are greatly surrounded by these false teachers of religions and doctrines, but the TRUE SHEPHERDS of the CHURCH enter through the INFLUENCES OF JESUS CHRIST – NONE OTHER!   

Recognize the signs of time.  STAY VIGILANT and close to JESUS more than ever.  Mark 6:11 says, “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them.”  Luke 10:11 says, “Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.”  Ezekiel 2:5 And whether they listen or fail to listen--for they are a rebellious house--they will know that a prophet has been among them.

Scripture References:

John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 10:1 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 Timothy 3:1-9 - 1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

MISUNDERSTANDING is Like Cancer on Speed

When you are on the battlefield, especially for souls, it can be easy to get "side-tracked" if you are not on your best guard. The enemy is always devising plans to disturb the peace of mind of God's people and take their focus off their mission. One of the ways the enemy uses to accomplish this is through misunderstanding.

All strife and quarrels start with a misunderstanding of some sort. ...

Misunderstanding is like cancer on speed. It can kill relationships in a heartbeat; relationships that you really love and may even desire to keep.

But misunderstanding can strike at a moments notice, and before you know it, you are ensnared and swept away in its ugly currents. Romans 12:18 says, "If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all men." In other words, if it is possible or if it can be done. However, the apostle knew that it would sometimes be difficult to get into and maintain such a state of peace, yet, he admonishes to be at peace with others even if they are not.

But what do you do when you encounter people who fail to understand a given situation after attempts to bring clarity and understanding? Don't stay in stuck zone, pray, forgive, be resolute and keep it moving. My experience has taught me that TRUTH doesn't always have a soft sweet sound and there will be times you will have to shut the open windows, doors, gates, cracks, and any loop hole that filters in the dissension and confusion before it overwhelms and consumes you.

As a child of God, you will always be the object of harsh criticism, and if you're popular enough, you'll even make it to the tabletop discussions of Roast Sunday or Tuesday's lunch or dinner. So determine to keep it moving.

An emotional reaction of frustration is the typical result when someone experiences something not making sense the first time - MISUNDERSTANDING.

Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are

Calling on all wounded, hurting, and faking it to you make it leaders. Come out, come out, wherever you are! The LORD is calling you out of your secret hurting hiding place.

If you are tired of playing "hide & seek", I've come to let you know that you don't need to hide anymore; God has real people to help you with your REAL ISSUE.

I know it's hard as leaders to be transparent about what you...

are undergoing; trying to be strong for the many that look up to you. You don't have to pretend to "be strong" to the point of doing yourself injustice; to the point of missing out on jumping into the troubled waters.

If it hurts, find a spiritual mother or father, spiritual mentor of integrity to talk to. It only gets worse when you keep SILENT; SILENT like that child who has been molested and has been told or scared into not telling.

If you are dying, why sit there and die? Cry out in the name of Jesus; for surely the LORD will make a way of escape. But when He does, take it, for no man is an island.
Not everyone is out to harm you or cause you ill. Not everyone wishes you to fail or fall. Not everyone GOSSIPS. You don't have to pray with one eye opened as some have been taught.

Just because you have had some bad experiences does not conclude EVERYONE functions like that. There are some real comrades on the field of life, ordained, anointed, and appointed by God to help rescue you. Many of us have been RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!

SEND out your S.O.S. signal so that the soldiers can find you. Fulfill your assignment until the LORD sends help. If He sends you a ship, take it. If He sends you a boat, take it. If He sends you a dingy, take it. If He throws you out a life preserver, take it.

It may not come wrapped or packaged by your expectations - that's pride. Naaman was a proud man and was commanded to dip in the River Jordan seven times to be cleansed. My point - the River Jordan was not the cleanest of rivers. But his obedience to do what the man of God instructed reaped a great reward - his healing. Read 1 Kings 5.

When a man becomes desperate enough to be free, not even pride can keep him from receiving. When a woman is in labor and the baby is about to be born, the shame of "spreading it" leaves. All she wants to do is to push the baby out as she becomes vulnerable and places her trust in the midwives and doctors God has assigned to assist her.
You've got to come to a place of desperation; a place that seeks whatever and however God desires to do it.

If you are desperate enough to be free from that hurt, from that secret, from that pain that haunts and taunts you in the solitude of your midnight hour, then I say CRY OUT. Call upon Jesus and He will send an answer.

The question then remains, will you accept the answer when it comes. Will you embrace the opportunity or the life-preserver thrown to you or will you allow pride to continue to drive your life into a deeper state of horror?

He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit of God is saying.
