Bible Verse of The Day – 8-19-20

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…

We are living in a time where we absolutely need to have knowledge and understanding.

We need to be incredibly discerning, so as not to be fooled by so many of the things that we hear and see. This includes the things we see in the world, and the things we see and hear within the church.

The world we live in has become a very dangerous place. We are being challenged every day when it comes to our walk with God and the way we see and perceive what is going on around us.

Without knowledge, understanding and discernment, we will be easily deceived and persuaded by wolves in sheep’s clothing, and possibly even by some who make no effort whatsoever to disguise themselves or their schemes.

So, wisdom is required as we learn to discern what we’re seeing and hearing, that we don’t become victims of the wolves in our midst.

Matthew 10:16 (NKJV) 16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

We can’t let ourselves get distracted by all the events that constantly vie for our attention. Our focus needs to be solely on God and what His spirit is showing us and telling us during these times.

It can be difficult to understand it all. And this is why it’s so important that we stay close to Him, feasting on (devouring) His word each day and spending time communing and conversing with Him.

Church, this is not a dress rehearsal. It is not a trial run. We live in a real world, with real demons, deceitfulness, deviousness, wickedness and divisiveness.

The goal of this message is not to cause fear, but to prick the hearts of everyone who reads it, causing an awakening to come; to shake us out of our slumber and stir our hearts into action.

Press in to Him. Listen for His voice. And heed what He tells us.

He is our fortress, our rock, to Whom we shall cling and be safe.

Psalm 18:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
