2 Timothy 3:1-5 You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!
This is your world today. Ever since I was removed from your society, it has degenerated into this. Your enemy has waged his war effectively, almost completely silently in the midst of loud, ugly battles. Battles that removed me from the schools and government. Battles that eviscerated sexual morality. Battles that made murdering the unborn not only legal but protected. Battles that removed personal responsibility. Battles that have rewritten history and basic biology. Battles that have turned the tables on reality and brought about what was warned about in My Word – the inversion of everything. What is right and good are now considered harmful and evil. What is true is believed to be false and what is an outright lie is touted as basic truth. Up is down and down is up and everyone is confused. You are living in what you used to call “quicksand territory”. No solid footing to be had – outside of Me and My Word. You that know Me are on solid ground, you know Truth, you understand objective reality, you see through the lies and manipulation. Those who do not know Me, those who knowingly reject Me, those who prefer sin to rightful living – they have no solid ground on which to tread. They are the majority in your world. Do you know them? Yes. Are they friends, acquaintances, even family members? Yes. Do I want you to shun them? Ignore them? No. They need to see what you see, hear what you hear, know what you know. But, caution, Child. You are to minister to them, but not allow them to influence you. Spend time with them, but always be prayed up first, always wearing the armor of God, always ready to do battle while in their presence. Would you hike in grizzly bear territory without bear spray and other defensive weapons? No. Always, always, always be sure to take Me with you whenever you interact with the lost. They are controlled by a formidable enemy. One only I can defeat, so do not attempt it alone.
