Continue In The WORD!

Paul the Apostle wrote Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2-4, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." Paul said the time is coming when Christians will want something more than the truth of God's written word and will seek after teachers who will be great story tellers or great orators who will be promising deliverance and healing while they are in personal bondage themselves. They will be like clouds without rain, or ships without a rudder. In Chapter 3:13 of the same book, it says, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." We live in such an hour, so let's be in the word and not doing things the way the world does them. Our weapons aren't carnal but they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. In the Old Testament the children of Israel were instructed to stone to death those who said thus saith the Lord when the Lord hadn't said. They were called false Prophets back then. What are they called today? Maybe unique or unorthodox. Let's be careful to see that we endure hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ, and don't fall into the enemies traps.
