Tonight my heart is heavy and I’m angry!! Angry that the enemy of our souls has deceived so many people, especially those who claim Christ. And my heart is heavy because those same people are so hard hearted that they are unwilling to see the truth, they have let themselves be deceived…
Scripture warns us not to be deceived and to try every spirit against the word of God. Being deceived is even listed with sin in Titus…
“For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.”
— Titus 3:3 (KJV)
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
— 1 John 4:1 (KJV)
2 Timothy warns of perilous times in the last days…
2 Timothy 3 (KJV)
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
My heart aches for all those women who view God’s order as abusive and controlling rather than seeing the beauty in it all. I’m angry that they would encourage a woman to leave her husband because they don’t like what God’s word teaches.
I’m angry that they would spread lies and bear false witness against followers of Christ…all while claiming His name!! And I’m angry that Satan has done such a good job at creating this whole idea of feminism that has walked right into homes and ripped everything apart….children don’t know the truth and beauty of God’s word because women want to be in the man’s role and men are too afraid or beaten down to step into their role!!
I knew going into all of this that there would be mockers and false accusations among many other things….but it’s still hard when it happens. Hard because you get a glimpse of just how deceived people are, just how nasty the enemy is.
So tonight I pray! I pray that women everywhere would realize the beauty of God’s order and step into their roles that He has given them. I pray that those of you who are already there are strengthened and edified in His Word to keep pressing on even when the world around us keeps getting darker and making it harder to stand for truth. I pray that repentance is sought after by those who want to reject Truth, mock, falsly accuse and encourage sin.
Tonight my heart aches, but God is near and His promises are true, and one day He will end all pain and suffering and that nasty enemy will be done away with forever.
