Teaching and Prayer to Seek and Do God’s Will
The redeemed righteous remnant must surrender their lives once and for all to the all-conquering King Yahshua (Jesus) in order to be on His winning side of the spiritual battlefront. So many believers are being sucked away into the side of deception because they have not sought the will of the Father through His Word and they are not walking in “the way and the truth leading to eternal life” (see John 14:6). Even though they confess Him, they have been picked off by the Enemy who “comes to rob, kill, and destroy” “even the elect if possible” (John 10:10, Matthew 24:24). We were told about the great apostasy that would come, that “people would be lovers of self, lovers of pleasure, lovers of money, having a form of religion but denying its power” (See 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, 2 Timothy 3:1-5). This means they deny the power of the Holy Spirit that leads us to “deny our flesh, pick up our crucifixion stake and follow Yahshua (Jesus)” out of the world in order to live in the Spirit, bearing His identity, and suffering persecution and rejection as He promised would come to all those who would follow Him (Matthew 16:24-26, 2 Timothy 3:12). The devil and his demonic agents are working through the agenda of the progressive movement. Satan is out to deceive and herd many people, including innumerable Christians, to rebel against the will of God, causing them to fall away towards the fires of hell.
The redeemed must be on guard lest they also be deceived to endorse any form of the progressive movement. It is important to understand that this insidious agenda is not solely political. This progressive movement has been infiltrating Christianity over many centuries, deceiving multitudes of “professing believers” to unknowingly compromise and fall away from the righteous “narrow path” of biblical truth. This was long ago prophesied in Scripture and is called “the great falling away” (Matthew 7:13, 2 Thessalonians 2:3). At the close of this age, it is so full blown that the righteous remnant are grieving over this fallen deceived state of so many “Christians” and congregations. The Almighty speaks through His immutable word, it is written, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away,” which means the Word of God never ever changes or progresses with the times! (Matthew 24:35) Our Savior gave His life to redeem us to be biblically correct, not politically correct! Contrary to the progressive movement, “This is what the Lord Yahveh says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find [eternal] rest for your souls” (Jeremiah 6:16).
In summary, humanity is quickly moving into the prophesied “great tribulation” (Matthew 24:21). The war that began in heaven will culminate with the war of wars, Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). The redeemed righteous remnant are those standing on the winning side of this battlefront, inseparably one with Yahshua (Jesus), the all conquering King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16). They are the ones who have “counted the cost” and have followed their Savior, by wholeheartedly and diligently seeking and obeying His will (Luke 14:28). “The called and chosen and faithful” are the ones who have tenaciously “fought the good fight of faith” and share the eternal victory shout with their Messiah who defeats Satan, the anti messiah (antichrist), and the deceived multitudes who have not loved and obeyed the word and will of God (Revelation 17:14, 1 Timothy 6:12). Our Savior’s “name is called the Word of God,” we will either soberly and proactively judge ourselves by the righteous standards of the Scripture or we will be eternally judged and condemned by it (Revelation 19:13). All of humanity, including “professing believers”, who continue to do their own will, are destined to be destroyed by the sharp sword of His written Word because of their perpetual rebellion against the Truth, the will of God.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I come to You with a humble heart. I repent for the many times I have not sought Your will, and carelessly, even defiantly done my own will to please myself and others. It is true there is a battle raging in my soul and I have allowed my will to have its way instead of prayerfully seeking Your will as the utmost desire of my heart. Yahshua (Jesus), please forgive me for the many times that I am so superficial and lukewarm in my spiritual life and walk with You. I realize that I usually want to be the one in control of my life rather than surrendering to Your Holy Spirit’s rulership. I now desire to completely surrender my life to You. I want to be pleasing in Your sight, part of Your eternal family, seeking and obeying the Father’s perfect will.
Yahshua (Jesus) please forgive me for all the times I take lightly Your sacrificial blood that was poured out to redeem me from my sins that I may be found holy and acceptable in Your sight. I humbly ask You to help me to stop walking according to my will, which makes me an opponent to You instead of a loving obedient child. Please forgive me and cleanse me with Your blood and fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit. I need Your help to be more than a conqueror in this battle of the wills, fighting the good fight of faith. Thank You Yahshua (Jesus) for sending Your indwelling Holy Spirit who gives me the power and grace to deny my self-will in order to sincerely pray, “Father not my will but Your will be done in and through my life here on earth as it is in heaven”. Amen.
