1 John 4:3  ...and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

 

What we see happening in America and around the world today is the spirit of the Antichrist in action. God’s Will is for every person born, to be saved, born again, and be filled with the Holy Spirit of God. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the Truth. (1 Timothy 2:3-4)

 

There are only two spiritual conditions, and every person alive, or who has ever lived, is one or the other: Saved or lost. You cannot be partially saved or half lost. You are either saved and born again by the Blood of Jesus Christ, or you are lost, dying, and going to Hell.

 

The spiritual battle between the Holy Spirit and the spirit of the Antichrist is fierce and extremely active in the world today. Like it or not, we are ALL in this battle. We may try to remain neutral, but we cannot. In our heart, we have taken a side: Christ or the Antichrist.

 

We will either stand for Christ, or we are standing for the antichrist by default. God wants you on His side. It is your desire to serve Him with all your heart, mind and soul. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. (Mark 12:30) This is not a suggestion. This is a COMMANDMENT made by Jesus Christ to every believer.

 

It means to love Him with everything you are: heart, mind, and soul. When we do this, we will speak His Name in public. We will not hide in our homes or the back row of our church. Nor will we bow to political correctness. To do this is to be ashamed of Jesus, and He had some pretty harsh and direct Words on this subject. For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the Holy Angels. (Mark 8:38)

 

The condition of the world today demands that every Christian rise up in the Spirit of Christ that dwells within them and let the world know whose side they are on. We belong to Jesus. We are on His side. We have the Holy Spirit within us who will guide, teach, counsel, and protect us every step of the way.

 

If you are not willing to take an ACTIVE stand for Jesus Christ, you are taking a stand for the spirit of the Antichrist.  Whose side are you on? What are you doing to prove it?  We DO NOT work to gain Salvation, but we must live our lives every day with the Holy Spirit of God leading our every step. We are called to walk out our salvation. Be DOERS of the Word. Faith without works is DEAD!

 

If you declare yourself to be a born-again, believer in Jesus Christ, rise up and do something!

 

If we will stand, God is able to……..turn the tide

 

Not ashamed!   Doreen
