His church is in its end state and Christ is doing everything to gather and prepare us for his coming..Mt 16:18MSG…a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to put out..Mt 24:13…he who endures to the end will be saved.
Lawlessness and iniquity are the devil’s weapon to fight against what Jesus stands for, against his rules and principles. Because the devil knows that these agents of divinity will help us stay awake in this dark world. We must be careful what we submit to.
There are two types of workers that Jesus spoke about; remember he said they look alike and he will allow them grow together. First is the self led workers; they are self motivated, seek approval and avoid responsibility. The Holy Spirit led workers are the exact opposite: John 10:4..he goes before you…he stands at your back..all the way, the sheep knows his voice and they follow.
Mark 3:13 The journey of christianity is like a hill; though everyone is called to salvation, this verse is about service. He goes to the top of the mountain and calls a man to come up to him and..MSB..they climbed the hill together. Heb 12:2 Looking away from all that will distract…Mark 4:19..the cares of this world.. things that stand to get your attention.
Our ordination is by passing life’s exam based on our experiences. Well done thou good and faithful servant is said to a man who has gone through experience- continuing with Jesus irrespective of our condition. Mark 3:14-15 says he first appointed 12 to continue to be with him. You must learn to be with him, it is in abiding that we are immune to iniquity and lawlessness that the devil is using in this time to get the attention of the church
As we continue in him, may the Lord continually keep us till he returns. Remain blessed
