I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. -- John 15:5 NASB
The King of the Universe tells us that our enemy will eventually take control of the world before God's return. If any of us think there is a force here that can change that outcome, we're deluding ourselves. The system and structure satan will eventually install will not initially appear evil or hateful. It will appear amazing, beautiful, full of unity, and the "ascension" of humankind. It's a good time to keep the real Word close.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. -- 1 John 4:1 NASB
For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. -- Matthew 24:24 NASB
My soul cleaves to the dust; Revive me according to Your word. I have told of my ways, and You have answered me; Teach me Your statutes. Make me understand the way of Your precepts, So I will meditate on Your wonders. My soul weeps because of grief; Strengthen me according to Your word. Remove the false way from me, And graciously grant me Your law. I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your ordinances before me. I cling to Your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame! I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will enlarge my heart.
Psalms 119:25-32 NASB
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
