BE WATCHFUL!

” FOR CERTAIN MEN WHOSE CONDEMNATION WAS WRITTEN ABOUT LONG AGO HAVE SECRETLY SLIPPED IN AMONG YOU. THEY ARE GODLESS MEN, WHO CHANGE THE GRACE OF GOD INTO A LICENSE FOR IMMORALITY AND DENY JESUS CHRIST OUR ONLY SOVEREIGN AND LORD.” JUDE 4

We are seeing this in the world we live in today. Over the years, things and ways of the world have been introduced to us by those who have slipped in among us, disguising themselves and their beliefs as helpful and good for all of us in the world. They take the word of God and turn it around, in the simplest of ways, to be used for their benefit and to teach and support their ways of evil immorality. God tells us and warns us to be watchful of these people and their ways. We must know God’s word very well in order to fight this evil. If we do not understand the word of God, and what the Lord is telling us, then we are leaving ourselves open to the evil going on around us. We will make it easy to follow those ways because they sound so sensible in many instances. However, if we know God’s word then we will be able to recognize those who are using it incorrectly. We will be able to use it properly and rebuke the devil and his ways. Being watchful means knowing what you are watching for. Knowing what you are watching for means knowing God’s word and what it says and means. We must stay in prayer, asking the Lord for discerment of good from evil. Be watchful, know God’s word and fight the good fight! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
