A Little Sleep, A Little Slumber

It seems like so many people are operating like robots, not able to think for themselves, they believe everything regardless if it’s a lie. Many are in a spiritual slumber. It appears that the years of programming people are actually working. Today, I pray that you wake up from your deep sleep and programming so you won’t be carried away with the herd. During these times as the world prepare to change the “game” on you; you need to be fully aware and discerning. The love for the world and the things of this world will cause many to error, so much, so they will gladly take the mark of the beast so their way of “comfort” can continue. In order to stand and stay strong, you have to be different. You cannot follow the crowd. You need to learn to walk on the narrow road and not the wide and bright one, Matthew 7:14. Can’t you see God is trying to show you something? All the things humanity loves are being affected, your money, your job, your entertainment, your pleasure, yet you can’t see things are changing on you and it won’t be to the benefit of the believer. Come out of Idolatry, come out of sin, repent, and remove the plug that you are attached to before you get sucked in deeper into the programming. Draw Closer to God.

Scripture Meditations

“Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” The Messiah answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times”, John 13:37-38

“And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God (not money has many false preachers teach). The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away. And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience,” Luke 8:4-15

“Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666, Revelation 13:11-18

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, Ephesians 6:10-18.
