Know them which labor amongst you.
Massive deception is in the midst of the church, the body of Christ.
For He said, when asked when shall be thy coming and the end of the world, take heed lest any man deceive you, for many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and deceive many: stating they are a Christian; appearing and sounding so, outwardly. But The Lord said: you will know them by the fruit they bear.
The premise of the world conforming to the church is the same as the church conforming to the world; not able to discern the difference (wheat looking like tares and tares looking like wheat) when God has placed in His people the gifts of Christ to enable the light of God to be seen in us, the hope of glory.
But with the Last days now upon this world, the Lord is declaring that we sound the alarm in His Holy Mountain and let the inhabitants of the earth know that the day of The Lord is at hand.
But we have allowed the noise and traffic of this life and the pleasures of sin to dull our senses and we now call good evil and evil good; we call light dark and darkness light; we have compromised our standards and given place to the enemy. God is not the author of confusion but of peace. And it is the peace of God which rules in our heart and keeps our heart and mind by Christ Jesus.
We must prove all things and abstain from all appearances of evil; knowing what the will of The Lord is and bearing the fruit of righteousness and presenting the light which lighteth all men that cometh jnto this world, and this is the Life given unto us.
We have been told and warned that evil men and seducers will wax worst and worst, deceiving and being deceived; brothers betraying brothers, kingdoms warring against kingdom and families against families and men hearts failing them because of fear; the love of many waxing cold because iniquity abounds.
But let it not be so regarding the house of God: for my house shall be called the house if prayer but many have turned it into a den of thieves and a cleansing shall come saith The Lord.
The Lord has looked upon the heart of a His people and seen the nature of their will being more than the will of The Lord. Now is the time to seek The Lord and forsake Him not; for judgement is in the house of God and He shall bring all things to the light; whether it be good or evil, it shall be revealed.
Set thy house in order, for surely I come in an hour thou knoweth not, saith The Lord God.
