What happened to Discernment in the Church of Jesus Christ?

If you’ve come to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and are regularly attending church and/or receiving instruction via various televangelists,  BEWARE! These are the perilous times the apostle Paul warned us about:

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.”
- 2 Timothy 3:1-9

Jesus Himself warned of a time when:

“… there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
- Matthew 24:24

We as Christians need to rely much more heavily on the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth, just as Jesus promised those who would be His disciples:

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
- John 14:26

There are many “Wolves in sheep’s clothing” in the Church at large today.  God’s heart breaks over those who follow after these deceivers who have themselves believed a lie!

Many exhibit signs and wonders, seeking to somehow validate their “ministry.”  Yet their true intent (if one simply examines their lifestyle) is to make as much money off “the faithful’” as they can!

PEOPLE! We’ve been gullible far too long! Do we truly believe the Bible? How long will we tolerate such “doctrines of demons?” These false teachers and preachers are running headlong into Hell! All the while paving the way for those who adhere to their perverse gospel.

God has called us to a life of humility and servitude.  No where in Scripture does God promise to shower us with fame and fortune! Yet that is the message of the new gospel these charletons preach!

IT IS TIME TO COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YE SEPERATE! IT IS TIME TO REPENT AND PUT OUR TRUST IN THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION: JESUS CHRIST!

God is patient and longsuffering, But He’ll not allow His Son to wait indefinitely for His Bride! Jesus comes quickly now.  And only those who are ready will go into the Marriage Supper with Him.

The rest (though they claim to know Him) will be shut out, with the only words they’ll ever truly hear from His mouth:

“… I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
- Matthew 7:23

If this post has stirred something in you, I urge you with all compassion of the Holy Spirit.  Seek Him out fervently! Ask the Spirit to strip away every teaching and practice from your life that is not borne out of the heart of God.  Seek Him diligently, for He has promised that those who seek Him with all their heart WILL find Him!
