To the dragon and to the end times: 'we will give you some hard times'
There are a lot of things I know about the end times…
With everything that is happening now in the world, I can definitely confirm that we are in the End times.
However, I urge you not to fall into the mesmerizing trap of solely thinking about the End times.
As much as we (Christians) are expecting the Lord to return, we should also ensure that we are ready to meet Him.
Many Christians are constantly glued to books, news and Youtube videos constantly talking about UFOs, the End Times, the 666 mark, the Antichrist, the Pope. Many of those Christians are constantly working at guessing the exact date in which the Lord will return through formulas using the Jewish calendar…
Let me say this (in good perspective):
“As much as the End times are very important, we should also study other subjects of the Scripture included in the Bible. The End times are only fully discussed in the book of Revelation and they are also discussed in a few other chapters contained in Daniel, Isaiah, Malachi, Joel, Matthew,Luke to name a few. The rest of the Bible contains so many passages designed to teach us how to live on Earth. I do not want you to be solely focused on the End times to the point where you forget about all the other Scriptures aimed at developing your discipleship.”
Why am I saying this?
I say this because I know and I am aware that we have reached the End Times. However, we need to be ready and stand against the enemy. We will not be able to stand effectively if we are clueless about all the Biblical principles that are in the Bible.
We know that the End times will be filled with diseases (ref.Luke 21:11) in the world. However, how will a Christian overcome and avoid those diseases if he/she does not know anything about the power of healing through Christ? Even worse, there are Christians who don’t believe in healing miracles. Be assured that those Christians will have a hard time during the end times…
We know that there will be famines in various parts of the world (ref. Luke 21:11). However, how will a Christian survive such an event if they don’t even believe in the principles of prosperity included in the Bible? There are Christians who have made it a career to criticize all Christian messages on prosperity. Yet, prosperity principles are in the Bible. The devil wants the Church to hate the Biblical messages of prosperity so that he can crush the church with economic hardship during the end times.
We know that many Christians will betray each other during the end times (ref. Matthew 24:10). Such betrayal will be done through bitterness and fear. How will a Christian survive the End times if they have the habit of nurturing bitterness and if they hardly forgive and they easily get offended in these current times? Such Christian will not do well during the End times…
We know that many will fall away from the faith (ref. Matthew 24:10). The reason why it will be easy for those people to walk away from the faith is because their faith will NOT be a strong faith. How do you strengthen your faith? The Bible says that ‘faith without works is dead’ (James 2:17). The faith of many is dead because they don’t obey God in their choice of career, marriage, studies, and various other decisions, they don’t even obey the principles of God in the Scriptures. By the time the End times will be in full blow, it will be hard for them to remain grounded in faith because their faith would have been weak or dead.
I sense that God wants me to say this: ‘a very good exercise to strengthen your faith can be found in the practice of supporting the Kingdom through your giving. The miracles you will experience as a result of your giving, will strengthen your faith. A giver will not easily fall for the lies of the devil during a full blown end times.’
We know that many will deny Christ during the End times in exchange for the Mark of the Beast (ref. Revelations 13). Jesus said: “ If you love me, you will obey my commandments”.
But how do you show love to Christ if you don’t obey Him now in these current times? If a Christian does not love Christ now, what makes them think that they will stick with Christ during a full blown End times?
I say all those things so that you can be ‘end times proof’.
I would like to repeat what Pastor Mario Murillo once said: “We will not let the End times happen to us. WE will happen to the end times!”
We know it’s going to be hard. However, I will give some hard times to the End times and to the false prophets and to the dragon. I will give them a hard time.
The end times will not happen to me. I am happening to the end times. And I call you to join me in the same spirit.
As much as we can learn about the End times, let us learn about love, mercy,forgiveness, charity, faith,the fruits of the Spirit, prophecy, prosperity, speaking in tongues, visions, healing, miracles, holiness and many other Biblical principles designed for our good.
Let’s give the dragon and his people a hard time.
