Something very obvious and alarming to me, because I have a heart for people . . . is that I am seeing a deep and ubiquitous "sifting" going on. The wicked are getting more wicked. Those on the wide path to Hell and embracing their antipathy toward God are going DEEPER and more entrenched in their alienation from the Holy Spirit, from The Father, from The Son, from God.
On the bright side, those who are of God and who love God are being called DEEPER into real, experiential relationship with Him.
Trying to reach the fallen and falling . . . is increasingly becoming more and more like shouting across a chasm, amidst a raging storm, within a deafening din of noise and pervasive evil and attempting to throw a life-line.
BUT, God is coming for His Children, and The Good Shephard is out and about collecting his stray sheep, and He will not lose one! So there is hope in that!
However, witnessing the hardening of hearts and absolute shearing of conscience . . . those rebelliously UN-heeding the Call and the signs . . . is difficult to watch and experience, from both afar and in proximity (ie., family and friends).
It is like their are two different languages going on. One of The Spirit, Who is speaking out, calling in, rescuing, healing, uplifting, protecting. . . . AND the other, of the Enemy, who is but out to kill, destroy, pervert, upend, confuse and cause as much harm and mayhem possible for as many as possible in these portentous times.
Please, my friends, look to yourselves, whether you are going one way or the other, in your thoughts, deeds, heart, spirit. . . ! Are you still attracted to the things of the world? Even a little bit?
What I am seeing and experiencing, as I've been writing of especially lately, is that, as SCRIPTURE, GOD'S WORD speaks of and warns about . . . is that . . . there is no time to be playing about . . . with the destination of your eternal soul and being! Either side (there are only two!) are getting hardened into position.
