Stand Firm
Be discerning, My Child. The enemy diligently seeks out those who bear My image with the intent to destroy. He desires to cheapen My grace, make My holiness of no consequence, reject the power of My blood, and deny My divinity. This is the spirit of antichrist. Do not follow it, though it comes arrayed in jewels, for Herod spoke with his mouth that he desired to worship, but the intent of his heart was one of murder. My children, learn what it means to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Be listening for My instruction, knowing that I AM greater than he who is in this world – indeed, I have already overcome the world. Stand firm, uncompromising in the Truth, refusing to grieve the Holy Spirit. Look to Me; know the signs of the times. My sheep know My voice and follow it.
Matt. 2:7-8, “Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and asked them the exact time the star appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, ‘Go and search carefully for the child. When you find Him, report back to me so that I too can go and worship Him.’” I Jn. 4:2-6, “This is how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. But every spirit who does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist; you have heard that he is coming, and he is already in the world now. You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world. Therefore, what they say is from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Anyone who knows God listens to us; anyone who is not from God does not listen to us. From this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.” HCSB
