My discernment tells me something is foul in our government, media, schools, and in certain social mindsets. The odor of it has resurfaced more frequently and more pungently through the decades. It’s not like it should be a shocking assault to people of faith, or their senses—it was forecasted a few millennia ago. The stench rises to the heavens and is being dealt with in the spiritual realm, as well.

Only the triune God is unconfined. The laws of physics and the boundaries of mathematical absolutes, don’t pertain to Him. He is limitless. God’s creation, on the other hand, is finite and it must adhere to principles set in motion. It proceeds at a rate determined by Him, on His timeline.

As the supreme being, the Lord of lords, the God of the Holy Bible, who has created all that can be seen, all that isn’t seen and things undiscovered, allows our ignorant, arrogant and self-indulging selves, the choice to believe anything we desire to believe in. The fact remains that two plus two will always equal four on this planet. No amount of personal feelings, assertions, or faith, can change reality. Relativism is a theory—perpetually submissive to absolute truth.

The Bible is our source for discerning what the truth is and where it comes from. Without the gift of discernment, from the divine source, one will fall for the most absurd claims. Observations of current social ideologies and behaviors, confirm it. Common sense isn’t common in the present era, as was predicted by Jesus. General knowledge, wisdom, ethical standards, once accepted intrinsically, are barely recognizable to citizens from earlier generations. The links to those traits have fallen off the DNA chain, apparently. As the Bible becomes more irrelevant to social mindsets, society becomes more irreverent toward God. Lawlessness increases simultaneously with faith in biblical irrelevance. I think that bend in the wide road can be seen in the rearview mirror.

That road ends at the final battle, called Armageddon. It is eminent and inevitable. It is not only a monumental world war, it’s also a celestial confrontation. Satan has formed his army of fallen angels, has corralled his minion nations and they are poised to initiate his futile attack against God and His saints. The deception and pressure that will be poured upon people to renounce God and receive Satan’s mark of the beast will be unbearable. To the point that even God’s elect would fall into submission and deception, if God were not to shorten the days of the Great Tribulation. According to His word, regarding the signs of the end times, it is very near. The only way to persevere beyond that fearful day of the Lord is to draw very near to Him! The victory is already His! Hallelujah!

If there ever was a time to possess discernment, it is now. With all the deception that is currently flooding people’s minds, it’s impossible to determine what boat to board to stay afloat without it.  It is Jesus’ boat. In it he calms the waves from the storm, as he did with his disciples. When they were frantic, tossing in the turbulence, Jesus was taking a nap.  When they awakened him because of their fright and panic, he rebuked their lack of faith and understanding. His apostles still weren’t getting it—discernment, they had yet not received.
 
It wasn’t until after Jesus died and arose again to life and ascended into heaven, did they receive the Holy Spirit. It was seven Sundays later, now celebrated annually by Christians and Jews as Pentecost Sunday.
​
No one, from the first Pentecost forward, has an excuse to live without discernment. Belief in the Gospel of Jesus is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Rebirth into a new nature, a vibrant vision, an unobscured understanding. Without it you are following the masses down the wide road to destruction and eternal damnation with groups of millions of unrepentant people ignoring all the warnings.

The gift of discernment—do you have it?

WARNING TO THE GODLESS!
Woe, you den of snakes! The unrepentant. Jesus rebuke you! You!—clergy and false prophets whom distort God’s word, embrace doctrines of demons and lead churches into apostasy. You!—whom are deeply corrupted and perversely lawless. You!—whom destroy the earth in exchange for selfish gain. You—whom serve as bias judges and news journalists—denying justice and skewing perceptions. You!—politicians who speak with a forked-tongue and continue to deceive and betray your constituents. You!—haughty Hollywood-harlots with much influence and your toady band of idol worshippers—you flaunt your supremacy-delusion and celebrate the spirit of Jezebel, who defiles the flesh and destroys the soul. You!—whom practice and promote many immoral and lascivious behaviors.
The smell of your deluging stench can't be ignored, nor contained. It precedes you like a large crimson colored flag adorned with your exclusively repulsive and decomposing crest.

I implore you to repent! Walk in the light with the living and be saved. Please. Jesus truly is the Way to salvation and to receive the gift of discernment.
