2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 first deception then truth.
“Now, about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together with him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken from your composure or disturbed by a spirit, a message, or a letter thought to be from us, which says that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way, because that day will not come until the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed—the son of destruction. 4 He opposes and exalts himself above everyone who is called God or every object of worship, so that he sits in the temple of God, displaying himself as God. 5 Do you not remember that, while I was still with you, I kept telling you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 In fact, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who is now holding him back moves out of the way. 8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth and destroy when he appears in splendor at his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan, with every kind of miracle, that is, with false signs and wonders, 10 and with every kind of unrighteousness that deceives those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 And because of this, God continues to send them a strong delusion, so that they believe the lie, 12 in order that all those may be condemned who refused to believe the truth but instead delighted in unrighteousness.” Now we all know that the antichrist is coming, but he too has to do things in the order of God’s Word. The first action to be watchful of is the deceitful ones. Those claiming to have come from God bringing a message from a different spirit not of God and not aligned with his Word. The next thing is, they will begin to declare that the day of the Lord has already come meaning you have missed the rapture. Now this has not happened yet, so keep your eyes open. We do have people claiming to be Jesus, but even they can’t claim that the DAY of the Lord has come. There are the prerequisites to the arrival of even the antichrist. Well, I’ll tell you what, I plan to be with the Lord before he comes on the scene. Before the antichrist arrives, Jesus will gather up those that belong to him. That’s right you heard me say it. I believe in pre-rapture. So a lot of things that are declaring that we are in the last days are actually in fact happening. But you still have to get it right. Follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. I honestly believe we must be careful when it comes to whom we are listening to. Try them by the Spirit. Also be prepared for this, we see many videos of the rapture with a lot of people disappearing. Do not expect it to go that way. They didn’t mean to be deceptive when creating these videos. In fact were just trying to present to you that there will be a disappearance of those that belong to God. But, Narrow is the gate. There will, I believe, be a small number of disappearances when it comes to adults. And many will become angry that they are still here. Prepare yourself now for the truth. Narrow is the gate. I keep hearing “narrow is the gate” in my spirit. God is putting emphasis on this. We must be working towards fitting through that gate because it will not go well for believers left behind. Yes. Narrow is the gate, but God is giving us ample time to make sure that we fit through. *** Father God, we asked that you do not allow us to be deceived by the lies of men. Open our spiritual eyes to be able to discern the truth in all situations. We know that you are coming back for a people and we asked that help us to be sure that we are counted in that number. Help us to fit through the gate. If this means changing our mindset, then Abba, change our mindset. If this means more dying to our flesh, then may we die more to our flesh. If this means that there’s still some stuff in us that you need to get out of us, then get it out. Right now as we actively seek the narrow gate. We desire to be acceptable to you, so that we may spend eternity in your presence. Help us to repent for the times when we have allowed our flesh to get in the way. And help us to not live by the flesh, but to live by the Spirit. We desire to be Spiritled. And as always Lord, keep us walking in truth. Your truth and your will. In Jesus name. Amen. Be blessed!
