2 Timothy 3:1-9 KJV1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of truth. 8 Now as Jan'-nes ans Jam'-bres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
Lovers of their own selves- How many selfies do you see on social media these days? Many of those that are not of Christ are in love with themselves to the point that they are the most important thing in their lives. They would rather go party than spend time with their kids. Vanity runs rampant. How many have a monthly budget on things to improve their appearance, get pictures made constantly, a decked out car they strut in not just drive, or have 500 pairs of shoes while their child has 3. How many times have you hear the phrase "What's in it for me?"
Covetous- Have you ever heard the term hater? If you are mad because someone got something you don't have, you are sinning. When half the world behaves like that it is a sign of the times. Look at the circle of people in your life. What percentage can you say has said "I wish I had 'John's' house or 'Jane's' car" In your workplace have you witnessed someone slander or bear false witness against another to get their job or that promotion they wanted?
Boasters- " We just got a new truck and a pool put in and it's so much bigger than Nancy's. You should come see." You walk by a gentlemen speaking to a date and he proceeds to say " Yeah I got all this money and a Lexus, blah, blah blah..." We are inundated with people try to convince us how great they are, because they want you to admire them as much as they do themselves. It's everywhere.
Proud-" I am always right. I don't need anyone or anything including Jesus. Look how much I have". The devil is a liar people. Even the church won't take correction anymore, preaching only those things that don't offend. There is only one that is good and that would be God. No one else has a reason to be so proud like they are perfect. It's ok to be proud of your daughter for making the honor row , but don't assume she is the smartest child alive and refuse to be corrected. I see so much today of this. A good modern day word would be snooty. There is a lot of snooty in this day and age.
Blasphemers- College students today are being taught they are their own I am. People have horrible pictures on social media these days that portray God or Jesus in unspeakable manners. (article here) When you walk around putting down Jesus, or mocking Him, or putting up those memes that degrade God, that is blasphemy. Today I have seen two sets of homosexuals hanging from a cross kissing, a picture of Jesus having intercourse with another Jesus, and about 70 other disgusting, blasphemous, comments or pictures. One of those is a news article... a news article!
Disobedient to parents- How many reality shows or talk shows are there that discuss disobedient children that run around doing whatever they want? Whether it be drugs, fornication, even gangs, the parents say they have repeatedly told their children not to behave in this way and short of locking them up they don't know what to do. There are even many behavioral classes and programs available for children with no disabilities, but refuse to act in an appropriate manner.(not promoting this site simply an example,my suggestion teach them about Jesus and get them born again; click here) Children have even resorted to violence.(violence article click here)
Unthankful- Do I really need to elaborate on how many ungrateful people there are now in this world? My husband holds the door open for so many people a day and half of them look at him like he is dirt and say " Excuse you, I hope you don't think you're getting anywhere with that, or What you don't think I'm capable?" What if you were well off and bought your child a '92 Honda for their first car? Would they say thank you and be happy or gripe because it was an old junker?
Unholy- Everywhere you look, including government, no longer follows the law of God that was set forth, or even attempts. Abortion is legal; LGBT community is not only fighting to change laws but persecuting Christians as well. More examples: ISIS, Strip clubs, drunkenness as a normal day, teaching 5 years olds about sex education in England, planned parenthood in our jr. high schools and high schools here in U.S., fornication as a norm, pornography, drugs becoming legal...
Without natural affection- How many people do you know, teenagers included, that swear they love their boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse yet they are always flirting with other people or even cheating every chance they get? What about that friend that swears they have your back but as soon as you walk away are talking behind it or stabbing you in it? Then, unfortunately, there are those that "love" their children so much they punch, kick, abuse them, or even kill them.
Trucebreakers- there are many examples, but I am going to go with Russia and the seperatists in Ukraine, Hamas firing on Israel causing things to start again, etc.
False Accusers- Crime rates have soared and with no shortage of trying to blame someone else or frame someone so no one has to be responsible for the consequences of their own actions. It doesn't matter where you are: work, school, neighborhood, even church; those that do not walk the narrow path are always looking for a scapegoat. Even worse there are those that are so covetous of other people they make up crimes that never happened just to tear someone's life apart.
Incontinent- Does anyone have any self control anymore? Not including those that walk the narrow walk with the Lord, many use everything as an excuse as to why they behaved a certain way. I was so drunk, I had just gotten fired, I had a really bad day at work, and on and on. There is no reason to be violent (unless you are defending yourself or someone else or are a soldier at war, officer on duty, etc.), drink too much, obnoxious, snooty, abusive, destructive, or any other unacceptable behavior... Lack of self control is at an all time high
Fierce- Road rage, attitudes, violence, all out aggressive behavior is not only rampant but in some places and cultures even considered cool.
Despisers of those that are good- If you are for the bible and against sin you are hated. If you speak out about homosexuality, fornication, drunkenness, drugs, hate, idols, witchcraft, or anything else the bible says is a sin you will be dogged on. Yesterday I posted a comment on a Facebook page, witnessing on how to be saved. I didn't condemn any actions even. I got cursed, told to shut up and go **** my God among other horrible blasphemies. Just because I told them I loved them and so does Jesus and He died on the cross to save us from our sin, I was reamed and still receiving vulgar comments.
Traitors- One good example is my husband's business. He has to be extremely careful whom he hires. Many will work for you for a week mowing yards and then go get a mower from the pawn shop and tell his accounts that my husband sent them to do the yard because they split the crew up to do more. Therefore my husband loses the account to because they don't want to be in the middle of it. Of course we can always point to our president since 2008 for the many acts of treason in the form of executive orders that go against our constitution and all the other political and governmental traitors around the world. Our president has even betrayed Israel, God's chosen people.
Heady- People run around inciting riots over things that can be solved in a civil manner, encourage others to be drunk, high etc. better known today as peer pressure to party or be flamboyant, loud and obnoxious... Even commercials encourage you to "be up for whatever", " take the bull by the horns", "enjoy the devil's cut".
High minded- There are so many scientists out there right now with high intelligence doing their best to disprove God. They rely on the knowledge of man instead of the wisdom of God and cannot be told otherwise. Many times they are eventually proved wrong. Cern collider as we speak seeks to recreate the "big bang" which will not only be disastrous, as many other scientists have warned against, but also seeks to prove they are right and the bible is wrong.
Lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God- Most people that believe in God but are not born again Christians that are actually going to heaven, are in this situation because they love their sin more than God. They don't love God enough to stop having sex outside of marriage, or quit doing drugs and getting drunk etc. The devil now tells these people they can change the bible to meet the life they want to live. which leads us straight into the next and final behavior listed.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof- First let me say hold on to your hats people, I am about to make some of you mad. If you are one of those people, refer back to despisers of good. This is the word of God. He takes this seriously. He doesn't want us to be lukewarm (Revelation 3:15-16- 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would that thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.) So many people go to church every Sunday. They sit in the pew and bow their head. They sing the songs and go home and think of God very little until it's time to go back to church. They do not walk the walk. They fornicate and watch pornography all week. They were at the club drunk as could be on Friday. They don't tell people about Jesus or try to win souls. They support the LGBT initiatives. They go to the church they go to because even the preacher is lukewarm. He only preaches about things that don't offend. His message is love and don't judge(which is not what the bible says). He speaks on to each their own, and be motivated to go out and get rich. If your church isn't preaching about sin and repentance, not only are you at the wrong church but you fall in this lacking godliness category because you are okay with it. Damnation is part of the word of God. You worship what you fear. Fear God, and when you go to a church that preaches God's word, sometimes your going to leave not feeling so great about yourself and thinking I really need to fix that in my life. Some call themselves Christians but disagree with the bible. You fall into this category. Some call themselves Christians and think there is more than one way to heaven. You fall into this category. Some say it's ok I can do this Jesus will forgive tomorrow. Guess what. You don't get a free ticket to do things on purpose. Maybe you do your best not to sin and you go to church, and so far you're thinking I don't fall here. Let me ask you something. Do you pray daily? Do you pray more than when you want or need something? Do you have enough of an actual relationship with the Lord to know that if you ask Him, He will heal your illness, injury, etc.? Do you read your bible often and study the word? I mean more than once or twice a week. I read every time I have a chance. The words I am bored should never come out of your mouth. That's when you read. Can't sleep, get your bible. If you think prophets, demons, watchman, being filled with the Holy Ghost are a thing of the past, you probably fall in this category but it could be that you just aren't in your bible and prayer life enough. When you are He shows you these things in the world today. At no point in that bible does it say these things become extinct until Jesus return. If you feel you fall into this category, you probably do. If your mad right now about this, you probably do too. So what do you do? REPENT! Ask for His forgiveness and for God to show you how to walk a closer walk with Him. If your preacher told you that you get to heaven by just coming to church then you need to say the prayer to be saved. I can help you. My email info is on the home page or you can see the video "How to Live Forever" on the video page. If you get saved tell someone. Email me, or tell your mother, brother, coworker, etc. and then go tell others that Jesus loves them and they need to be saved and how. The bible says all Christians should do the work of an evangelist. Maybe you're scared. Ask Him to make you bold, or write this website address down on post it notes and stick it to the bathroom stall, shopping cart, or gas pump you just left. You could even just put on the post it Jesus loves you.
We are in the last days. everyone of these behaviors runs rampant in our world. Bible prophecy is coming true. False prophets, preachers, and teachers are leading people astray. Jesus himself said Do Not Be Deceived!
Time is almost up. I love you whomever you are and want to see your face in heaven. Prepare your house. Narrow your walk with the Lord. Read your bible and pray A LOT. Ask for His wisdom and your job in the body of Christ in these last days. Tribulation is coming and we will be here for everything right up to the wrath of God. He that hath ears let him hear.
JESUS IS COMING SOON!! PREPARE YOUR HOUSE
