It's Really Happening.

"Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: if anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God's curse!" Galatians 1:7-9

I have to come back to this particular verse because God opened my eyes to see exactly what Paul was talking about. This verse literally came alive this week. This is really happening and I got to experience it and hear it firsthand.

We often forget that many Churches today take God's Word and turn it into their own religion. Therefore, leading others to believe things about Christ and His Word that are false.

To see and hear this false Gospel was devastating for me, but it allowed me to be able to share God's truth, His Word and who and why Christ is the most important thing ever.

I never want to waste opportunities like this. These are God given opportunities to see God's Word come alive and to share the truth of the Good News. This is exactly what God has called us to do.

It is my prayer that the seed has now been planted and that God will begin to stir things within the hearts of these who are in need of Him.

Brethren we need to be praying for the lost more. We need to be reaching out to them more. We need to have open arms and open doors for them to enter in and not be afraid to ask questions or feel judged.

We need to let our lights shine and stop hiding them or dimming them.

People are drawn to the light, and when they come, we need to be prepared to share the Good News with them.

"Jesus told them, 'Don't let anyone mislead you. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah.' They will lead many astray."...And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. And many false prophets will appear and will lead many people astray."

Matthew 24:4-5;10-11
