“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Re 22:12.
There is no doubt about it. We are closer to the second coming of Jesus than we were yesterday, this morning and even a few minutes ago. His return is imminent so those who are family look forward with hope and gladness.
In the mean time, the enemy of this world knows this as well. He is working harder than ever, I believe, to influence as many as possible. I see it everyday. People going about their daily lives oblivious to everyone around them until they interfere or disagree with what they are doing. “Self” is the theme and self promotion is the game. That’s exactly what the enemy wants.
People are so caught up in blazing new trails into what has been taboo and pushing every boundary that the subtle things often go unnoticed. We are so focused on the extremes that we fail to see the slight alterations that the enemy has orchestrated. A slight word change here, a small twisted doctrine slipped into the middle of God’s word and a perverted action by someone who may be considered a well respected person. The signs are there. Subtly the enemy is stealing souls.
Jesus is coming. The clock is ticking. We have less time today than we did yesterday to speak truth to this world. Our souls are at stake. Our family is at stake. The world is at stake. Be bold and speak God’s truth in love every chance that you get. Jesus will recognize your work. We do it for Him.
