Think on this! “Watch out for false prophets . They come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognized them.”… “Not every one who says to me ‘LORD, LORD,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘LORD, LORD did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evil doers.”…”Watch out that no one deceives you.” (Matthew 7:15-16; 21-23; 24:4)
Pray on this! Father, in this election year grant us the special grace of discernment that we may evaluate and vote on the basis of the godly fruit our candidates have displayed not on the basis of who they say they are. Grant a clear understanding of the truth that we may see through the deception that permeates our political system. Give us candidates whose “fruit” is most in sync with your Word. In Jesus name, AMEN.
Jim,
You sounded much like a preacher today in your remarks and rightly so. Keep sounding the alarm. I have been a senior pastor for over 40 years and have preached exactly what you were saying many times but it seems most of our words fall on deaf ears. You have a lot of good things and enjoy many of your postings. WE are an ardent supporter of Israel and the Jewish people. the matter of deception is huge in today’s world. May G-d evermore help us in this hour!
Shalom!
No matter what the enemies of Israel do, no matter what they think, no matter how much hate they can have, Israel is God’s choosen people. Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Almighty Jehovah, God is a Jew and He is the King of kings and Lord of lords and He is coming very soon!! I feel sorry for all the muslims and the rest of the world that hate the Jewish nation.
Jim,
I agree with what you were saying, and my husband and I pray every day for the Peace of Jerusalem, and for all of Israel. I believe with all my heart that the return of our Lord is very close, and we must be doing everything we can to see people surrender to Him.
