I never thought about entertaining the wrong angels, but I know what your saying there is certainly true Hillbilly. I certainly have I know during my lifetime.
As a young Christian, we were taught quite a bit regarding praying against the forces of evil in the beginning. Then my husband began to receive a lot of understanding within the scriptures pertaining to this area, God adding to the teachings we had received. But then,the teachings by many began to focus onto getting affluent financially, instead of what we were first taught to use them for, which was praying for the lost, along with growing in the Lord in the area of righteousness. Not just on TV either, but the churches began to teach along the same lines as they were hearing this message preached TV. And today, this prosperity message, as it is called, has gone world wide, even in the poorest of nations, I hear. When the Bible says we are to take no thought of these things, but to seek the kingdom instead, for the most part. meaning the message that was about love began to be about the love of self instead. Or at least that was what it seemed to me.
Mt 24:
12: And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13: But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
To me it is unbelievable what is going on in this country. I knew it would come someday of course. I just didn't think I would be alive to see it begin is all. That is if indeed that is what is beginning. And it does look like it is.
But at the same time, I cannot forget something that Corrie Ten Boom said once about what was going on in Germany. Many over in those countries believing that Hitler was the antichrist, and that they would soon be leaving all that was happening behind. Yet she said, we did not leave.
Does that mean today is not that time? NO. It just means I don't know yet. But do know we need to occupy until then sharing the gospel. Or until it is my time to leave here. Never losing that first love. Nor the second one either. But of course, if you never lose the first one, the second will also always remain to as a result of what the first one does in that ones life.
Love,
Sandy
