We live in a very dark corrupt world and the truth is, much corruption is in our world leadership at the highest level, as their is in much of the church leadership, and that corruption trickles through to all the people of all the nations.
It is like a highly infectious disease that drags people to live in sin.
As people continue to live in sin, those sins become “normal” and acceptable to society and repentance becomes comes less and less. But the truth is, God’s Laws have not changed and never will.
Jesus said, And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.”
Revelation 22:12-15 NKJV
This truth should plant the fear of God into all people. Neither His plans, purposes, or Laws have changed; “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
Hebrews 13:8 NKJV
Dishonest people want their corruption hidden, they do not want to be exposed.
But Jesus is the light of the world, “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
John 1:5 NKJV
The light of Christ exposes all truth, and all will be exposed.
Nothing can be hidden from God; He sees absolutely everything and hears every single word that utters from our mouths. He sees our every action and hears our every thought.
Our flesh has been corrupted and we inherited sin from Adam and Eve and pass it on through the generations, and that sin binds us to death.
But Jesus is the light that exposes all truth, and it is the truth that sets you free (JOHN 8:31).
Today, Jesus is illuminating this world and exposing corruption at the highest level; He is bringing justice into this world, the consequences of our actions, good and evil, nothing can stop what’s coming and this really would be a good time to repent.
He who follows Jesus shall not walk in darkness, for the light of Christ is in them exposing all truth.
They will remain transparent, for he has nothing to hide and the peace of God will be upon them, for transparency brings peace.
But the truth is, we cannot walk in righteousness in our own strength, for our flesh is already corrupt.
Jeremiah told us, ““The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.”
Jeremiah 17:9-10 NKJV
When we walk by the leading of the flesh, we do what we don’t want to do, and don’t do what we ought-that what is right. Even Paul faced these same battles within himself, declaring, “it is not me doing the sin, but the sin living within me that does it(ROMANS 7:15-20).”
Thank God for His Holy Spirit who God sent to help and lead us. Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
John 14:15-18 NKJV
Only by the leading of the Holy Spirit can we walk in Jesus righteousness. Only by the leading of the Spirit can we follow our Lord and Master in obedience.
Only by the leading of the Spirit can we truly serve God and become effective soldiers of Christ-disciplined followers of Christ, His disciples.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
Galatians 5:16-26 NKJV
But the truth is, if you don’t have the Holy Spirit, you cannot walk by His leadership. So give your life to Christ today. Submit to His will, and ask God for His Holy Spirit-our guarantor of eternal life (2 CORINTHIANS 1:22; EPHESIANS 1:14).
Having received the Spirit, you may make mistakes or even slip back, and that will be ok whilst living in repentance, being willing and committed to change, because Jesus blood covered it all; the sins of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
No longer does one live by works, but by faith in Jesus Christ.
There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
Romans 8:1 NKJV
Today, Christ is exposing the sin and corruption of this world and bringing justice.
This is not judgement, but final judgement is coming soon.
All peoples from the highest seats in the nations to the lowest shall face the consequences of their actions, in the hope that justice shall bring them to repentance before Jesus Christ executes His final judgment.
My beloved, as far as we can, putting Christ first, we must remain obedient to the laws of the land, paying our taxes and living peacefully within society, whilst not conforming to the ways of the world, and presenting our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (the least you can do), that our minds (thinking) are renewed and we become Christ like in our our very nature, and come to understand what is that good and acceptable and the perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
Therefore, “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”
Romans 13:1-14 NKJV
My beloved, be prepared, for coming justice shall shake this world like never before, but Christ has given rope for all His people to cling to in the shaking, but long enough to bind those who remain rebellious and refuse repentance.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
