Good points Blessed. 
Amen. Thanks for your heart Steph. This is kind of why I would look at things as Laodicean age for the church in general. Although I do imagine it to get worse, I believe the Matt 24:24 reference is likely a whole other level. It would seem located in the midpoint of the tribulation per where it lands in the Matthew time sequence. Thanks for sharing you heart and convictions with us. Blessings.
Just remember one thing church!! What man intends for evil God will use for good. His ways are not our ways.
Hopefully no matter how this thing turns out, I’m praying many young people come to Christ!

Many Christians Still Taking the Broad Road
By A.W. Tozer
For many deceivers are entered into the world,
who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. . . .
2 John 1:7
Deception has always been an effective weapon and is
deadliest when used in the field of religion.
Our Lord warned against this when He said, "Beware
of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening wolves." These words
have been turned into a proverb known around the
world — and still we continue to be taken in by the wolves.
There was a time, even in the twentieth century,
when a Christian knew, or at least could know, where he
stood. The words of Christ were taken seriously. A man
either was or was not a believer in New Testament
doctrine.
Clear, sharp categories existed. Black stood in sharp
contrast to white; light was separated from darkness;
it was possible to distinguish right from wrong,
truth from error, a true believer from an unbeliever.
Christians knew that they must forsake the world, and
there was for the most part remarkable agreement
about what was meant by the world. It was that simple.
The whole religious picture has changed. Without
denying a single doctrine of the faith, multitudes of
Christians have nevertheless forsaken the faith.
Anyone who makes a claim to having “accepted Christ”
is admitted at once into the goodly fellowship of the
prophets and the glorious company of the apostles,
regardless of the worldliness of his life or the vagueness
of his doctrinal beliefs.
We can only insist that the way of the cross is still
a narrow way!

Hi Georgia Ruth. Thank you for offering your perspective. I wonder about these things, too. I haven’t seen the movie. I understand the concerns about what is happening at Asbury and beyond. Though I know we need to heed Christ’s warning that we not be deceived, might this be a Genesis 50:20 moment in time as well? As so many of us have been praying fervently for confirmation that our young adults would find their way to Jesus before the trumpet sounds, I hold onto the Biblical hope and faith that, even if the devil intends to use any of these events to further confuse, divide, or deceive; the Holy Spirit is still calling the lost and those longing for Jesus and can use it all for good and God’s glory. I pray it will be so!

2 Timothy 4: 3 and 4
3 - 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.
4 - And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
And they will try to deceive even the elect:
Matthew 24: 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that if it were possible they shall deceive the very elect.
25. Behold, I have told you before.
26. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth; behold, he is in the secret chambers, believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

I watched this video when JD mentioned this ministry during the plandemic. I had to search it out because I was thinking about it again on Saturday so I rewatched. You can’t imagine my surprise when JD starts talking about the same thing in this update. Wow!!! So here is a link…something to think about The New World Order is the Harlot, but NOT the Beast | Beast vs. Babylon - The Light vs. the Dark

Boy, you hit the nail on the head with this comment. So aptly put Stephanie. Thank you for shouting it out for all of us to hear. We need to pound this into our brain and stop letting ourselves be deceived into thinking we won’t be influenced by sinful behavior. Until we are made whole and perfected, that is always, always a possibility.

HI @anon74937514 and @Flamingogirl49563 so true. I find these days I stick with the tried and true Pastors and shepherds of the faith. Time being as precious as it is, and already hearing that some countries are hitting around the edges of the Word of God, and sensing that they want to make the Word of God illegal through their classing it as hate speech, it makes sense to me to be as into the Word as often as I can and support that with teachings from true Pastors and Shepherds.
Some days, as i occasionally read the news headlines, the world sounds like it is becoming more and more violent and the acts of violence have no rhyme or reason. Random acts of evil.
We need to keep looking up and listening for “Come Up Here”.
Blessings sisters.

We have had snow, freezing rain then rain all within a 24 hour period The snow came down fast enough to be about 3 to 4 inches in just slighty over an hour. Needed to shovel fast before the freezing rain and the rain.
Second storm coming end of week.
There was an earthquake felt in Southern Ontario a few weeks ago or so and as I look around the world at that activity, it most certainly is ramping up everywhere.
All these things from Asbury too lets have world war 111 are all designed to get out eyes off of the true Saviour and coming King, Jesus Christ.
Spiritual battles are fierce at times as well, however, my Lord is more then able to see me through. To Him be all glory and honor.
Praying for you all as well as I am sure we are all faced with different battles at different times.
Know then that you are not illigitimate and that you are very likely having an impact that you are not aware of and the enemy wants it stopped. Stay the course.

Yes, as the song says
*Trials dark on every hand and we do not understand *
all the ways that God would lead us to that blessed Promised Land
*but He’ll guide us with his eye and we’ll follow 'till we die, *
we will understand it better by and by
The peace I have these days is constant unless I turn my eyes and mind to what is going on in
the world. Then fear and trembling sets in for a moment until the Holy Spirit turns my heart and mind away with His gentle love and compassion. I pray the peace that passes all our understanding be on and in you each day dear sis.

Don’t you just love this family. Their love for the Lord is so beautiful and those babies are too precious. Thanks for sharing. I found a few new videos on YouTube from a Russian man and his family. His music is quite different, but I am blessed when I watch them. The landscape is breathtaking, and some songs are in Russian with English subtitles. I believe he is in Washington. I will attach one here if I can find one and hopefully won’t break the forum rules…lol!

Would love to listen in! @Flamingogirl49563! Glad you enjoy the Kirkland as much as I do! Whenever I’m feeling drained from all that we are seeing and hearing and praying into these days, “my soul always finds rest in God alone,” and the music that reminds me just who is holding us all. Wondering how you are facing with the snowy weather there??? Here too, but it’s not u nusual for us!! I’ve been loving the snow buntings at my feeder these last few days. They are such lovely, little visitors!! Blessings, Carol Ann!

I live in Kentucky, born and raised. I know people who went to Asbury. A friend of mine who is older than me and is a chrisrian went. I asked him about it and he said he had been to many church revivals in his lifetime but this one was the most Spirit felt he had encountered and told me it was life changing for him. He was there for 6 hours. I asked if there was someone who preached and he said there were some that read scriptures from the bible, a young student read a poem he wrote, but most of it was singing and praising God. He said there was many that gave testomines, confessed their sins, prayed, and were on their knees at the alter.
I’m sure there were some that went there sent by Satan also, to disrupt. But from what i understand they didn’t allow lgbt to get up there and preach. I did hear Rick Warren was there tho.

Thank you for that link. A lot of what is said there makes sense. I have to go through it a couple of more times to see if there is anything amiss but, overall it seems to be fairly accurate.
