August 21, 2011 (Jeremiah 21, 24, 27; Psalm 118; 1 John 2)
From the Life Journal of Adam Proux:
Scripture: “Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrist have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.” 1John 2:18 NASB
Observation: This is a clear warning to all believers both then and now. Jesus is coming, and indeed we are living in the last hour. The name Jesus, has become a bad word through out the world. He has been thrown out of the school house, the court house, the white house and yes, even the church house and antichrist have been put in His place. Be careful little children, do not be deceived.
Application: We must stay alert to satans schemes. We have the word of God readily available to us more than any generation in the past, yet we fall into satans traps over and over. Why? It’s really pretty simple, we don’t study God’s word. We go to church, not to worship God, but rather to worship our emotions. If it feels good to the flesh we want more of it, if it don’t, we want no part of it. There’s more to serving and worshipping God than a feel good experience. Watch out, “feel good” is how the antichrist will deceive many. Stay alert, study God’s word daily!
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for Your mercy and grace. Thank You for The Holy Spirit that comforts, guides and instructs us. Let us be so filled with The Holy Spirit that we are able to discern antichrist when we encounter them. Protect us from satan and his evil desires to destroy us in order to hurt You. Place within our soul the importance of this last hour, prepare us for the day of Christ return. In Jesus name, Amen.
