You Have To Discern This! (People ARE Already Being MARKED)

[Music] people today are being watched their movement is being tracked their location is being monitored people today are being influenced Hollywood and the like are giving them messages telling them to obey work fear and so on people today are searching for a super intelligent life form or being look at this how many people today are walking with their head down and both hands grasping at a device but for a moment I want you to strip away all the noise and just observe observe the changes that are happening because my message today is all to do

with people people in the last days what will they look like how will they behave what will they stand for and believe in to answer these questions we need to look at the Bible now whenever there is evil and when God is about to send judgment on a place he always makes Provisions to ensure his children are safe and far away from his wrath for example in Genesis when the world was filled with great evil God separated Noah and his family from the rest of society and then his judgment came to the Earth in the

form of a worldwide flood look at Sodom and Gomorrah a place filled with great wickedness God separated lot and his family from the rest of the people in Sodom and Gomorrah before his judgment came in in the form of fire and brimstone raining from the heaven when the children of Israel were at the Red Sea God separated the water for them to cross and as soon as they were clear and safe the second they were safe the waters were no longer parted and Pharaoh in his army drowned on many occasions God has separated his people

from those who are wicked and so today I want to show you six types of people that you will begin to see and perhaps I should say six types of people that you are seeing in these last days I'm highlighting these people because there will come a time when Bible prophecy is fulfilled and God will separate his children from those who practice wickedness now these six categories are the deceivers the idol worshippers the coldhearted and unloving the proud those who are immoral and those with a form of godliness let's talk about the deceivers in the

last days you will see more and more people especially those in positions of Fame and Authority in and out the church you will see more and more of these people preaching and teaching lies with a hint of Truth Isaiah 5:20 says woe to those who call evil good and good evil who put Darkness for light and light for Darkness who put bitter for sweet and Sweet for bitter there will come a time and we are seeing this in some circles today where some will see evil they will perform and do what is evil but they

will call it good in this day and age we really have to be careful when it comes to what we consume and by this I mean the true Gospel of Jesus Christ calls us to repentance but some of the cheap sugarcoated gospel out there it tells you that you're forgiven but does not call you to repent it calls you loved and it talks about God's mercy but it does not correct you it doesn't tell you to carry your cross and crucify your flesh and this is why we must be so careful the idol worshippers in

ancient times people used to make Idols out of wood Stone precious metals and they carved statues today we might not have Idols of bronze or silver but the idols we do have tend to be invisible we can build Idols all too easily out of things we value highly our careers our significant others our political beliefs our secret sins all of these things can become Idols when they compete with God for priority in our Liv lives many people will neglect God in the last days because of idolatry silent Idols invisible Idols Idols that only live in

the deepest parts of the heart and so you need to be on guard because God is a jealous God according to his word the third type of person you will begin to see is those who are cold-hearted and unloving the Bible in second Timothy 3: 2 and 3 says 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 take a closer look at this verse people will love themselves people will look out only for themselves why because they are

lovers of money and then there is a standalone word that describes what people will be like and this word is unloving people will be without love they will be cold at Heart part A of 1 John 4:20 tells us if someone says I love God and hates his brother he is a liar a cold heart that is devoid of love for others displeases God Christ commands us to love one another as we love ourselves but in the last days there will be people who move away from being loving people will Harbor bitterness and resentment toward

someone instead of forgiving and loving people will choose Revenge instead of Love they will choose Vengeance instead of love and forgiveness people will choose to betray each other instead of loving one another these are the kinds of people in the last days and the next group of people will be the proud now because of wealth vanity perceived importance career achievements many people will become proud in the last days and the first reason why pride is so destructive is that it robs God of his glory you begin to look at yourself and what you can do

instead of the Lord the second destructive result of pride is that it hurts those around us pride comes down to comparison we look at our neighbors and think we're better than them because of our status in life we look at our spouse and believe we're better than them because we control the kids better we look at people in the church and think we're better than them because we are more moral when you think and live this way you find your worth and value in your good works instead of Jesus and that's exactly where the devil

wants you he wants you looking at anyone but Jesus the next group of people are those who are immoral this Bible tells us that in the last days people will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God and we are seeing this already it is my belief that the devil has been quietly at work he's been subtle and cunning and what he's done he has used entertainment he's used music he's used media and everything available to dismantle Godly values relating to sex the standard of God's word is that marriage is Honorable among all and

the bed undefiled but the devil has perverted this and promoted fornication in music in movies and in society marriage is Honorable among all and the bed undefiled but the devil has promoted adultery and Affairs Satan has built an acceptance among people that sex outside of marriage was no longer a sin my friendss we are living in an age where sexual sin has been normalized by the devil this is a strategy by the enemy that is designed to trap you in sin and so you must make sure you're never found to be in this group of

people the final category is all to do with people who have a form of godliness now what is a form of godliness well it's all to do with sounding ing like a Christian looking and dressing like a Christian but deep down in your heart your private moments you are not really striving to be Christlike you see there's so much deception today entertainment is deceiving appearing to be good when there is an evil agenda music is deceiving it's sounding good but there's an evil agenda behind it some churches are deceiving they have a form of godliness

but there's a subtle evil some pastors are deceiving as they have a form of godliness but their lives are completely different to what they preach equally there are people in the church who appear to be good and strong Christians at face value but God knows their hearts and their hearts are far away from him the martial artist trains and practices so that when it is necessary they will be able to defend themselves and others the military trains and trains and trains in times of Peace so that when they are called upon they are ready to

go at a moment's notice the firefighter or paramedic trains and prepares so that when the crisis comes they are prepared to respond as children of God we should be the same way we should not be waiting for a battle in order to get ready but rather the Bible calls us to be ready always so what are some ways we can stay in the state of Readiness how can we avoid that nagging statement of guilt shame and regret how can we avoid saying something like if I had more time first we must make sure our relationship

with the Lord is good that means we're not living in sin we're not living in Rebellion or Disobedience but rather we are living under the influence and Leadership of the holy spirit this is why it's so important to pray without ceasing it's important to meditate on God's word and keep it hidden in your heart all of these things are to the benefit of your relationship with the Lord another thing that we must do to stay in a state of Readiness is actually to follow the teachings of Jesus Jesus said in Matthew 7: 21 not everyone

who says to me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven but the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven this is not just a verse you should know about but rather one where you do something about we must actually attempt to follow jesus' teachings in addition to believing in him the Bible says the devil believes the demons believe so believing is actually not the end but the beginning belief should lead lead to action belief should lead to tiing up one's cross and following Jesus belief leads to a change in

your life if we are able to be in a state of Perpetual Readiness we must commit to following the way of Jesus and you see our Lord knows we will fall short he knows we will not be able to live out his Commandments perfectly he knows there will be days when we will struggle there'll be days where we'll struggle with anxiety worry and maybe anger God knows this and that is where there's Grace when you are truly saved when you have truly repented you find that there is Godly sorrow when you sin there is no

enjoyment and so we must commit to following the path of righteousness and then receiving the grace of God to cover our shortcomings and let's be honest there are many believers who say Jesus but choose not to follow the commands of Christ they don't want to love their neighbor as themselves they don't want to turn the cheek and love their enemies they don't want to take care of the least fortunate among them they want to do what they want to do don't let this be you don't let it be you with a stubborn and hard heart

don't be the one who was found to be saying Jesus but not following Jesus this is how we live in a state of Readiness this is how we avoid the statement if I had more time you do have time the time is now this is how you live life without regret and in fullness follow Jesus follow the one who is the way the truth and the life a room full of Christian students were asked the question how many of you believe in signs and wonders someone quickly said it depends on who they're from the devil

or Jesus the professor responded and said regardless of who they're from how many of you believe that signs and wonder can happen all the hands went straight up he then asked so you believe that Jesus Christ can perform signs and wonders the class was in agreement yes he can then the professor asked do you believe that the devil can perform signs and wonders students hesitantly answered with no real conviction about the answer to this question most students put their hands up then the professor said boldly Matthew 24: 24 for false Christ and false prophets will

arise and perform great signs and wonders so as to lead astray if possible even the elect you see many people believe that only Jesus can perform great signs and wonders however this is true of the devil as well the Bible says my people perish for a lack of knowledge and if you don't have the knowledge that's in the Bible the knowledge that reveals how the devil is capable of Performing great signs and wonders then how will you distinguish the work of God and the work of Satan second Thessalonians 2:9 and 10 says the coming of

the Lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders and with all Wicked deception for those who are perishing because they refuse to love the truth and so be saved now hear that carefully with all power and false signs and wonders and with all Wicked deception saints of God there is a great evil among us and this evil is called deception it's designed by the enemy and an attempt to trick us to fool us into believing evil for good so the task at hand for all believers is how

do we distinguish the Divine from the Diabolical 1 John 4: 1:3 says beloved do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God for many false prophets have gone out into the World by this you know the spirit of God every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God this is the spirit of the Antichrist which you heard was coming and now is in the world already so you see if you are

to ever see Great Signs and wonders test the spirits and you may be wondering well how exactly do I test the spirits what do I do well the passage of scripture we've just read said in verse 2 and three every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God this is the spirit of the Antichrist which you heard was coming and now is in the world already if that spirit acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in the flesh here on

Earth died and rose again and is now seated at the right hand of God then that spirit is from God however if that spirit says anything else but Jesus the Bible says this is the spirit of the Antichrist so the next time you see a preacher a prophet or anyone performing anything in the Supernatural before you clap before you accept it before you say anything pray for the Holy Ghost to give you discernment and then wait wait to see if that act was glorifying Jesus Christ as Lord before you clap test the spirit to see

whether it confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord test whether or not that miracle that healing that act or wonder is it really to the glory of God or is it to exalt that person is God being given the glory and honor or is the man or woman on stage saying look at me I can do this all day long we need to test the spirits and I believe that the majority of the devil's signs and wonders boil down to four major objectives money Fame pleasure and power the devil will perform signs and wonders through people

which are driven by one of these objectives 1 John 4: 4-6 says Little Children You are from God and have overcome them for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world they are from the world therefore they speak of the world and the world listens to them we are from God whoever knows God listens to us whoever is not from God does not listen to us by this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error so understand there are two Spirits in operation the spirit of truth

and the spirit of error the spirit of error is in the world it's the spirit of the Antichrist and the Bible clearly says that they speak from the world and the world listens to them however you and I are not of the world as children of God the Bible tells us that we have overcome them because greater is he who is in us than he who is in the world so test the spirits before you allow someone to stand before you as a man or woman of God pray for sensitivity pray for the holy spirit

to guide you in truth so that you may not be led astray there are people of God out there people who are being mightily used by the Lord in various ways however there's also those sent by the devil to create confusion to create an illusion of Truth when it's really deception so I encourage you we must be a people who are joined with the spirit of Truth we must be a people who are filled with the Holy Spirit we must be a people who tests the spirits we must be a people who are governed by

the truth that is Jesus Christ although we live in this world we do not and we should not fight our battles like the world in fact the weapons that we have available to us aren't physical weapons but note how the Bible says for the weapons of our Warfare are not carnal But Mighty in God the word of God is one of the weapons that we have as children of God it's a weapon that is powerful the conflicts you face the battles you face face the Lord has the final say over all of that so I

encourage you people of God to trust God trust in the word of the Lord trust in his promises and you will have the victory
