Be Not Deceived

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)

A picture is worth a thousand words.

The photo above illustrates most of our society today, including the majority of Christians. "If we just pretend there is no problem, it will go away."

People are apparently still under the false assumption that if we can just get the "right person" in the Oval Office, all of America's problems will be solved. Do you think either of the current two presidential choices are capable of that?

Lord help us.

“Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge; their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.” (Isaiah 5:13)

Most people today are either unaware, or unwilling to admit, just where we are at as a society and as a nation. People don't seem to see, or care, where we are in relation to biblical prophecy and the last days of earth as we know it. And all these predictions about our economy imploding? "Nah, they're just doomsayers and fanatics!"

I heard someone recently say of America... "We've used up our account."

Immediately following the terrorist attacks on 9/11, millions of Americans flocked to churches and cried out to God for safety, looking for answers, and for hope. But that soon died down and everything returned to business as usual. 

Now terrorist attacks, racism, murdering of police officers, and school shootings are so common place, our society has become desensitized to it. And everything continues to go on, business as usual. People go on chasing and living the "American dream." Look out for Number One.

The Selfie Generation.

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Throughout history every society who banished God out of all public life, denying the truth of His Word, sexual immorality run rampant, killing and lying without restraint, was eventually brought down by God. 

“There is no truth or mercy or knowledge of God in the land. By swearing and lying, killing and stealing and committing adultery, they break all restraint, with bloodshed upon bloodshed. Therefore the land will mourn; and everyone who dwells there will waste away.” (Hosea 4:2-3)

We've used up our account.

But for some strange reason, most Christians in America are under the assumption that God will not do to this nation, what He eventually did to every other nation who rejected and disobeyed Him. As if this nation is somehow immune...

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." (Galatians 6:7)

Time for a wake up call.  The hour is later than we think.

“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” (Romans 13:11-14)

The days of "business as usual" are over. Let us be about our Father's business.

This nation has a spiritual problem, and can only be changed from the inside out by Jesus—by the Love, Grace and Spirit of God.

God help us.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
