We need to fall in order to rise up!

Keeping It Real

Have you been having a hard time with fake people, fake news stories, and fake compassion lately?  If so you are not the only one! 

It is entirely Biblical.  Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:1-7
     And know this: in the last days, times will be hard. You see, the world will be filled with narcissistic, money-grubbing, pretentious, arrogant, and abusive people. They will rebel against their parents and will be ungrateful, unholy, uncaring, coldhearted, accusing, without restraint, savage, and haters of anything good. Expect them to be treacherous, reckless, swollen with self-importance, and given to loving pleasure more than they love God. Even though they may look or act like godly people, they’re not. They deny His power. I tell you: Stay away from the likes of these. They’re snakes slithering into the houses of vulnerable women, women gaudy with sin, to seduce them. These reptiles can capture them because these women are weak and easily swayed by their desires. They seem always to be learning, but they never seem to gain the full measure of the truth. 

A very real message with a very real warning!!!!!

Do these sound like the people or situations you are dealing with?  

                                       Stay away from the likes of these. 

This advice given by Paul is as alive today as it was 2000 years ago.  We have to stop letting the things around us get inside us.  We are made to walk on the things we are drowning in!  
Social media and the nightly news have inundated the world with false compassion and false concerns about unimportant things, while millions of babies are killed through abortion, same-sex marriages are legalized and mass hysteria instills a spirit of fear over God's people.  People in "real" situations are used to promote "false" agendas.  Women's equality is promoted through demoralized actions.  Arguments about which bathroom to use is the hot topic while the children of the one true God are blinded by a baphomet spirit, that subtly tries to dim lines between male a female identity.  

God is seeking a generation that falls not rises to the occasion.  FALLS to its knees and PRAYS!

2 Chronicles 7:14 says, and if My people who are known by My name humbly pray, follow My commandments, and abandon any actions or thoughts that might lead to further sinning, then I shall hear their prayers from My house in heaven, I shall forgive their sins, and I shall save their land from the disasters. 

                                                   Rise up!  Rise up!  Rise up!
