We’ve been talking about the sovereignty of God and the need for us to be a praying people in this last hour.  I don’t think I wrote down who the author was here, but I just—I love that one phrase from one of the old saints.  He stated that no man is greater than his prayer life.  No man is greater than his prayer life.  As we finish up these hours, the Lord needs to come and find us praying.  Amen?  He said, “When I come, will I find faith upon the earth?”  “Will I find a people who are standing and resisting principalities and powers, resisting that antichrist?”—the spirit of antichrist; that age that we’re living in right now.  There is supernatural seduction, not only of all of these people who have lost their minds in all of this “woke” mentality and this progressiveness.  They’ve progressed to insanity.  These people are literally insane, mentally ill people, who are seducing the masses.  We’ve watched it in awe.  We know what the prophets have spoken, and the Scripture says that day when men would call good evil and evil good—and we read it, and now we’ve seen it, and you can’t believe what your eyes are seeing.  Truth has fallen in the streets.

Oh, it looks like we might have a reprieve here for a little while.  Can you say “Praise God” for that?  At least in our country it’s already beginning that people are getting less afraid to speak.  The bondage, the fear that took over this country, where people couldn’t even speak their minds for fear of having to pay by losing their jobs, by what we see even now taking place.  Isn’t it interesting how many years people have looked at us and Christians like us—who have stood for holiness and righteousness, and because of that have had to mark people, separate ourselves from those who are defectors—and people have looked and “How can you do that?”  And look what’s being promoted today.  If you’re a “Trumper,” then don’t even eat Thanksgiving with your family!  Have you seen some of that stuff that’s going around?  It’s interesting to see how tolerant the “tolerant” group has manifested themselves to truly be.

We’re going to still be opposing that.  The most hated are going to be the true church.  The Scripture says—and we see it going over into the Tribulation—that there’s a day coming when they will be made drunken with the blood of the martyrs.  The Bible says they’re going to kill you and me and believe they’re doing God’s service.  Don’t think that went away with an election.  This apostate church, this great whore, is going to rise in power in this environment that we were all hoping for, this reprieve of this insanity.  This apostate church is going to grow in this environment, and they’re going to turn on us, the Scripture says—just as they turn on Israel at the midpoint of the Tribulation, after having signed that pseudo peace covenant.  There is no peace between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness!

This is a time when we need to pray more, because in this rise of the whore church, it’s going to bring with it strong delusion.  We read in Thessalonians that God is going to be the Author of strong delusion that causes these people to believe a lie.  The Scripture tells us that in this last hour many will depart from the genuine faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.  If ever there’s a day when we need to saturate our minds with the Word of God, if ever there’s a day when we need to get before the throne of God and fall on our faces and hear what that still small voice is saying to us, “This is the way; walk in it,” praise God!  We’re living in that hour.  So, I want to encourage our hearts to stir up that gift that’s in you, the apostle said; amen?
