True words brother Tom;

There are things that we as not only ministers of the gospel but believers in general need to be aware of in these last days.

1. 2Pe 3:3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.

* Know that when you are criticized take joy because of whom...you are and whose...you are.

2. 1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.

* We see the elusive power and demonic saturation within many doctrines out there that are non biblical. As we get closer they will be disguised in Unity, Spirituality, and Live and let live so to speak. Right will become wrong and wrong will become the new correct.

3. Act 2:17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

* We need to a. Stand on the word and refuse to be moved; b. We need to be looking through spiritual eyes in our discernment and evaluation of events. If the enemy can get us to take things personally, and begin to get our attention in "self" we take our eyes out of the spiritual realm, and the task that the holy spirit would have us attend to in that situation.

4.Jos 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God [is] with you wherever you go."

* Fear not! :) speak the TRUTH in love, and speak the truth in LOVE. Our redemtion draws near, and this world is not our home. Be strong, be bold, walk in love, and rejoice! Our King is coming soon. :)
