Perilous Times Are Here

This prophetic passage of scripture is now fulfilled.  I see it

every day and it’s getting worse.  Evil abounds everywhere and all the time.

In government corruption on a scale that has not been seen before.  In rampant crime waves throughout the United States in big cities right down to small towns.  

Families are being torn apart and devastated by pure evil.  

How else can you describe a prominent SC lawyer murdering his wife and son in cold blood to keep his evil secrets hidden.

We’ve learned recently that Child sex trafficking is running rampant in this country and around the world.  I find this horrifying and makes me sick to my stomach.

In the last 24 hours, a young man I know claims he is suicidal and is expressing fits of rage causing his family great stress and fear.  Refusing to get help and threatening his family.  Evil times.

Another young man I know will not stop his drug addiction and relapses into drug induced outburst of anger.  He too refuses help.

Evil times.

All you have to do to see the truth in this prophetic passage of scripture is to watch the television news.

What do we do? How are we to respond to perilous times?

Reading the entire chapter of 2 Timothy 3 we find Paul’s answer to Timothy…

Verse 5 “have nothing to do with them”

Stay away from the evil doers as described in the previous verses. 

Why?  Verse 8 They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.

Verse 13 “while evildoers and imposters will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.  But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have been convinced of, because you know from those whom  you have learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which you are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.”

We are warned that evil people will continue to only get worse.  

But we as believers in Christ must hold on to the faith we have in Jesus Christ.  In order to keep from being deceived we must hide the Word of God in our heart and pray for discernment.

What to do now…

Pray for God’s protection for you and your family.

Pray for wisdom and discernment so you are not deceived.

Read the scriptures and ask the Holy Spirit to give you insight.

Pray for lost family and friends.

Realize that God is in control and has warned us that these perilous times would come.

Give thanks for the great hope of salvation we have as believers.

Hold fast to the faith!

Be safe my friends,

Mimi
