MORNINGTIME  4117 

And the Grace of our Lord was Exceeding Abundant with Faith and Love which is in Christ Jesus. This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the Prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a GOoD warfare; Holding Faith, and a GOoD Conscience; which some having put away concerning Faith HAVE MADE SHIPWRECK: 1 Timothy 1:14,18-19. Here's the results of that slow drift away from the Lord. "And he (Satan) doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, AND DECEIVETH THEM that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do..." Revelation 13:13-14. All of mankind, whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life, have ALLOWED themselves to be deceived so much that a few simple parlor tricks are all it takes to get the praise of man unto Satan himself. No more Discernment, no more Conscience giving a gentle warning, no more "red flags" from concerned friends, just a wholesale shipwreck of all peoples, nations and tongues no longer interested in the Safety of the Word of God. This is Satan doing his best to look like an angel of light and fooling most of all the world into outright Satan worship. A slow drift of unconcern and apathy of, "I'm OK, I'll look into that TOMORROW, and tomorrow never turns into" today". They just never get around to listening to or checking out those "red flags" going off in their spirit and conscience. Satan can only OFFER a cheap imitation of some of what the Lord can do, HE CAN NOT make anyone follow him down the road to Hell. Those deceived lost ones had to CHOOSE to follow him into destruction, one foot in front of the other, choosing to ignore all advise to come to Christ. Satan's greatest moment, after the downfall of Adam and Eve, is being worshipped by ALMOST all the world. These are people CHOOSING to ultimately follow Satan whose hands are clean of "forcing" anyone to follow him. Those Deceived will not, Be Blessed.
