To be able to stand in this day
Philippians 1: 15 Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill. 16 The latter do so from love because they know that I am placed here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, because they think they can cause trouble for me in my imprisonment. 18 What is the result? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and in this I rejoice.
It has always been the same with souls still in darkness of the heart or speaking the truth of those born again with new hearts and desires for this truth given
Those speaking as broken vessels restored and filled speak of His truth for gain of heaven
Those just speaking always give into that which is still fallen flesh
whether in pretense or truth, Christ is being proclamind
So it is and so it has been
The truth of ones soul will be declared by this time of testing which of course has been going on for 2000 years
In the closing moments of this age this testing will only grow more intense
The many expect to be saved from this end-time testing
There is the teaching of Rev 3:10
10 Because you have kept my admonition to endure steadfastly, I will also keep you from the hour of testing that is about to come on the whole world to test those who live on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no one can take away your crown.
I will also keep you from the hour of testing
Some will hold on to the gain of this spirit they have
Many have nothing of spirit truth to hold onto
Those that walk and speak as fools some walk in the midst of wisdom
Matthew 25
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of the virgins were foolish, and five were wise.
Jesus said you must be born again
The fruit of your life as being lived proclaim your status not your confession
Matthew 7 15 “Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruit. Grapes are not gathered from thorns or figs from thistles, are they? 17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree is not able to bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree to bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will recognize them by their fruit.
Hearing and Doing
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven—only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many powerful deeds in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’
Hearing and Doing 24 “Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. 25 The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because its foundation had been laid on rock. 26 Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, and it collapsed—it was utterly destroyed!”
You are to die to gain
You are to become as that you have yielded to
the darkness of your birth
or
the light of your new birth in His likeness
Blessings in these days
