We're heading towards the Last Days!

"having a form of godliness but denying its power."    2 Timothy 3:5   NKJV

Are we living in the Last Days? That's a question that we all need to be asking. Mind you, people have been asking that question for centuries, but one can't help wondering because of what is happening in our world today.

Try reading through 2 Timothy 3:1-9 and link this in with situations today. World leaders are all bustling for power. Are they thinking of their people or themselves and the money they can make out of the next deal (v2). People are suffering terribly in their own land because of this power struggle; war, killings and desperately hurting people who have lost everything. 

Then there is the continuous murders on our streets. Young people's live's being taken because some other youth is using his or her power and using a knife to end the other person's life. Even teachers being threatened, and there appears to be no end in sight for this to stop. In a lot of cases, parents don't have any charge over their children (v2) if they use discipline, the child may report them to the authorities. People are mentioning bringing back the death penalty and also conscription where a young man has to serve his country for a short time in the HM Forces. But would this be the answer? Some people are lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God (v4). They may have a form of godliness but that is as far as it goes. 

What can we do to help alleviate all of this? 'If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14.

God calls His people to prayer. Not just for the average prayer meeting but, for the serious stuff such as we have just read. We are in the Last Days and we can't ignore this fact. People all over the world are hurting but the world goes on with its plans to make more money. It is time for Christians everywhere to do something about it. What do we pray?

That God's mercy will prevail. That He will intervene between the nations and bring worldwide peace. If not, that He will help people like us to tell people about Jesus; that they will listen, get saved and tell others too. We are not to panic or become anxious about what is happening worldwide but, we are to make a stand for Jesus and pray that He will hear from heaven, forgive people's sins and bring healing and protection for His people

Prayer is our weapon; we must use it.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. 

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
