Being Protected from Deception — Randy Krahn

Good morning. Lord, just pray that you would open our understanding to the truth of your word, that you would speak to us, that we would get clarity on where we're at spiritually and where we are in the journey.

The Last-Days Falling Away and the Preservation of Noah

Whether we truly know you or we just know about you, you grant us revelation in Jesus' name. Amen. Scripture says in the last days that there's going to be a great falling away from the faith. I hear a lot of different people preaching today about this end time revival that's going to sweep the earth.

But the scriptures say that in the last days are there few who will be saved. It said as the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. In the days of Noah, eight were saved through the flood.

It says the flood came and took them all away. But Noah and his family were preserved in an ark. That's a picture of God's word. That's a picture of being in Christ. And it says that the world is now reserved for fire.

And the fire is going to test everyone's work. And those of us that are not purified by fire will be destroyed by fire. I want to read from Matthew chapter seven. In verse 15, Matthew chapter 7, 15 says, beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

And you will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? Even so every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore you shall know them by their fruits. A lot of times we are not, we're ignorant to what the devil's schemes are because we'll quote something like he was defeated at the cross, which there's a truth in it.

But yet on our part, he seems to be gaining some victories and winning some ground. And some of us have perished because we've not taken heed to the things that we've heard. We've drifted away. And the scripture says in the parable of the sower and the seed, and you can study that on your own time, that there's four types of soil and the seed is the good word of God.

And it talks about how the seed can be received on thorny ground or on rocky soil or on a hard path or on a good and obedient heart. And if we don't understand this parable, the scripture says, how will we understand all the other parables?

So my encouragement for you is to go and ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you on the parable of the sower and the seed so that you can understand what Jesus is saying to us. Otherwise, we're never going to understand all the other parables.

It is a key that opens up a way to understand the parables of God. And so when we hear about in the last days that perilous times will come, men will be lovers of themselves, it says in 2 Timothy 3, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, haughty, unthankful, unholy, unloving, many other things, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, having an appearance of being a Christian, looking like a lamb, but denying the power thereof.

In other words, the power of the Holy Spirit is not manifested in their life because the fruit that is manifested is all of these things. And so if we take reflection on our character and we measure our character with the Word of God, we can begin to see by the fruit that is coming from our hearts where we are in our relationship with Jesus Christ.

Discerning False Prophets by Their Fruit

You will know them by their fruits. And people who have bad fruits love to listen to false prophets who have bad fruits. And the false prophets will tickle their ears and tell them things that the flesh wants to hear because the flesh is fascinated with all the things that are in the world.

But everything that glitters is not gold. There's fool's gold in the preachers. The false preachers will preach of this fool's gold. And this is what they will come. They'll look like lambs, as it says in the last days in Revelation 13, that the little horn will make great boasts, right?

This false prophet who looks like a lamb but speaks. The fruit of his mouth, he speaks like a dragon. It says out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. It's not by the gifts that we can identify who is of the Holy Spirit and who is not of the Holy Spirit.

Just because you have power, it doesn't necessarily mean that power comes from above. Simon the sorcerer, he had some kind of power. The people who were working with the magicians there before Pharaoh, they had also some kind of power they were working with.

And so that is not a gauge. It says in 2 Thessalonians that the Antichrist is going to manifest with all kinds of false signs and lying wonders. And he's even going to be able to call fire down from heaven.

Well, Elijah called fire down from heaven. And so there's an appearance that this is going to be a true prophet. This is going to be a true move of God. But it's just going to come with all lawlessness, with all ungodly deception.

And God's going to allow it to come to deceive the whole world and even people who are so-called believers who have not a love of the truth so as to be saved. And it says in 2 Thessalonians in chapter 2 from 9 to 11, in that passage, God will give the people a strong delusion, a blindness, a fog over their eyes, something like cataracts, that they should believe lies, that they all may be condemned who did not receive a love for the truth so as to be saved.

Brothers and sisters, it's the truth that's going to set us free. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me. And when he speaks that, we can see the person of Christ, but we also see the Word of God.

Because the Word of God and Jesus Christ are synonymous one with another. Jesus only spoke the words the Father gave him. And so we want to come to understand this passage of these false prophets. He says, you will know them by their fruits.

The Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit

Now the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control. Of these things, it says there is no law. But the gifts of the Spirit are also important. But when we have the gifts of the Spirit, we have to be manifesting the fruit of the Spirit.

Otherwise, the faith that we possess is not genuine saving faith. And we're working from pride. We're working from selfish ambition. We're working from evil desires. And as Brother Dan shared, the Scriptures clearly say that we have to crucify this flesh.

We have to pick up our cross, follow after the Word of God, in denying ourselves the passions and the fleshly lusts of our flesh, and crucify desires that are strong in our in our members, so that we put on the new man in Christ Jesus, that we walk worthy of the calling of God.

This false prophet, he comes in sheep's clothing. He looks like a lamb, but he's speaking lies. He speaks like a dragon. This serpent, he lied to Eve in the garden, and he told Eve a deception. And this is where we get light on this parable of the sower and the seed, that we can believe deception.

But we need to understand the truth. You surely shall not die. You can rebel against the truth. You can lie and be deceived, and you can just claim that you believe in Jesus, and you're going to be okay.

You can continue to swear and live like the world, and you can continue to eat and drink with the drunkards, and you don't need to be faithful to what God has called you to and appointed you to, and you're going to be okay.

This is a deception. It's an end-time deception. In the last days, men will be lovers of themselves. I recently had a revelation of Antichrist in the temple, and the Lord gave me a revelation of his name.

It's spelled S-E-L-F. It's the man who will not die on the cross. It's the woman who will not pick up her cross and follow after the Lord Jesus and be buried with him in baptism unto death. It's she might receive, or he might receive, a deadly wound from the sword, which is the word of God, but they live miraculously.

They can be lukewarm Christians, and they can look like lambs and speak like dragons, and they can love money, and they can love Jesus too, and they can have it all. May it not be for us, brothers and sisters.

Antichrist, Self-Worship, and the Temple of God

In the last days, men will be lovers of self. You know, wherever God's glory is, wherever Jesus wants to take a seat, that's where Satan wants to have his throne. The mystery of godliness is Christ in you, as Brother Dan shared, the hope of glory, that we would be conformed into the image of Jesus, step by step, from glory to glory, as stars differ in their brightness.

But the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. This is Antichrist desiring to have his seat in the temple of God, exalting self as being God, and we're waiting for some guy to sit in Jerusalem, and we're waiting for someone to build some temple over there, when the word of God clearly states, no longer will you worship me in temples made with hands.

Do you not know that you, under the new covenant, are the temple of the living God? As God has said, I will dwell in them. I'll walk among them. Yet we somehow hold to the traditions of our forefathers, who are waiting for something to happen in Jerusalem, and while the temple's not being built, we can live like devils.

We can live for the world, we can indulge in the lusts of the flesh, and there's many years yet. Well, the scripture says in Luke, in chapter 12, he said, who is that faithful and wise steward whom his master will make ruler over all that he has?

He said, if I come in the first watch, or the third watch, or maybe the sixth watch, will that servant be watching? One night this week, our alarm went on our door, and there was motion there, and it went two times at 4 30 in the morning, and this scripture came to mind, and I awoke, I heard it going, and I awoke, and I was looking on the cameras, and I was watching.

I said, Lord, I don't want my house to be broke into. If there's no chance for your house to be broke into, then you'll just be at ease in Zion. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, while an enemy comes and robs your wife from you, robs your children from you, you're paying child support, and you want to blame everybody, rather than look in the mirror and say, you know what the problem is?

It was Antichrist was sitting in the temple. It's S-E-L-F. I began to eat and drink with drunkards, and I just took my ease in Zion. Brother, sister, we need to make sure that our house is guarded, and you, we need to have a stone hedge around of protection.

God said, he'll be a fire around us and the glory in our midst. We don't have to fear the enemy. We need to fear God, and when you lose the fear of God, then you need to be afraid. Don't fear him who can kill body, but he said, fear him who has power after body's been killed to cast soul into hell.

This is for believers. This is for us. We don't need to have a false sense of security while we're listening to false silver-tongued false prophets telling us lies. Scripture says in 1 John chapter 2, I don't know the exact verse, but it's around 20.

Who is a liar? The one who denies that Jesus is a Christ. You know who he is? He's an Antichrist. He denies the Father and the Son. We can look at those verses because I think it's, it's important because Satan lied to Eve in the garden.

He deceived Eve through lies, and in the same way that Eve was deceived through lies, we can be deceived by lies. It says in 1 John 2 verse 20, but you have an anointing from the Holy One. We need to have the Holy Spirit in us, brothers and sisters.

That's when we're going to know all things. In other words, in terms of discerning the truth. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and no lie is of the truth.

Who is a liar? It is he who denies that Jesus is the Christ. When we receive lies, we deny the truth. This is called buying and selling in the temple. Jesus got angry when they were buying and selling in the temple.

They were buying sacrifices and selling and making merchandise in the temple, when the house should be called a house of prayer. And you want to know, it says in Revelation 13, it says, no one, he causes all, small, great, rich, poor, free, slave to receive a mark on their foreheads or on their right hands.

And no one can buy and sell except those who have the mark. But it says in Proverbs 23 verse 23, buy the truth and sell it not. And it's also written Deuteronomy 6. It talks about teaching the commandments of the Lord to your children and your children's children.

And it says, buying them on your hand and place them on the frontlets of your eyes. We want to have the mind of Christ, and we want to be doers of that word, not hearers only, deluding ourselves. Not like the foolish virgins who never counted the cost and didn't have the extra oil in their vessels.

Rejecting Worldly Desires and Walking in Obedience

When do we sell the truth? When you buy a lie. We all see in part, brothers, but when truth comes, we have to reject lies and embrace truth. Jesus is the truth. His word is truth. We don't want to become harlots where we look like lambs and speak like dragons.

The scripture says, don't love the world or the things in the world. The harlot that rides the beast, she loves the world. She's fascinated with the world. We've all done these things in times past, but we want to turn from them.

We want to love the Lord. All that's in the world, the lust of the flesh, we want to be guarded against it. The lust of the eyes. We have to be careful with our eyes. If our eye causes us to sin, we need to gouge it out.

If our hand causes us to sin, we need to cut it off. And the world is passing away the pride of life, wanting to make a name for ourselves. Like brother Dan shared, whether it be a great preacher or whether it be a great businessman, whether it be a great sports athlete, or whether it be a great musician, whatever our greatness, our aspiration is, it has to come under the headship of Jesus Christ.

Otherwise we'll have another head. S-E-L-F. You'll be worshiping your Lord, yourself. God has given us a will, and that will has to be surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. If we don't surrender our will, then we'll deceive ourselves.

We'll have all of our dreams and hopes and plans, and we'll want the Lord to come along with them, like we shared last week, rather than being yielded to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God. Who is a liar?

The one that denies that Jesus is a Christ. He is anti-Christ. Let's look at chapter 2 and verse 4 of 1 John. He who says, I know him, but he doesn't obey God's word. This one is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But whoever keeps God's word, truly the love of God and the fruit of the Spirit is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in him. He who says he abides in Christ, verse 6, ought himself also to walk just as Jesus walked.

When we're not obedient to God's word, and we have another way worked out, then we're not going to be walking in the Spirit, and we're not going to be possessing the fruit of the Spirit. We're going to be walking in the flesh, and we're going to be deceiving ourselves.

And you know what? You keep walking in the flesh and deceiving yourself, pretty soon truth becomes blurry. Pretty soon the thief can come into your house, and you're okay. Pretty soon the thief can come and rob you blind, and you're okay with it.

Because you're a blind man, and pretty soon you're a deaf man, and pretty soon you have no idea what the enemy is doing in your house. And pretty soon the enemy has your house, and he's guarding your house.

And we need one stronger to come and plunder his house again, and deliver you from the power of darkness. Some of us have come under the sway of the evil one, but you know what? The righteous man keeps himself.

In other words, we're careful to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. We need the fear of God. Or if you have a different version, it's God keeps him safe, for it's God who works in you, both to will and to do, for his good pleasure.

And the wicked one can't touch him. There's these doctrines that you can have evil spirits in your body, but you can have the Holy Spirit and be born again. And you make excuses for living like a devil.

This is deception. What fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? What communion has light with darkness? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? So we have to get truth in our inward parts, to love the Word of God, to love Jesus, as Brother Dan shared, more than all the things that are in the world, more than the gifts that he gives.

When Auntie Betty comes and brings us some gifts, some gum, she might be the most wicked lady who's living in adultery. She's had her fourth marriage and the man she's living with is not her husband, but the children all love her because she brings gum and gummies and treats.

Brothers, sisters, is that the fruit that we're looking for? The gifts? The scripture goes on from here in Matthew 7, Matthew 7, verse 21, not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven.

Sanctification, Saving Faith, and the Lamb's Book of Life

What is the will of God? Let's break it down. Your sanctification. This says this in 1 Thessalonians. This is the will of God, your sanctification, that you would be set apart from your old life, having been born again in 1 Peter, in chapter 1 or chapter 2, I believe, somewhere there.

Not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible seed through the Word of God. This is how we purify our souls, through obeying the truth, through abiding in the Word, through practicing what we hear, putting into practice what we hear.

Practical saving faith. Some would say, oh, you preach works, works. Show me your faith without works and I'll show you faith by our works. Our works prove genuine saving faith. Just as Eve's works proved that she believed the serpent, because the serpent said you surely shall not die, and she took the fruit and she ate.

She believed the lie. And this is how you receive the Spirit of Antichrist. You prophesied in my name. You cast out devils in my name. You did many wonders in my name. Yes, you did, but I don't know you.

You did it in my name, but you did it for your God. You practice lawlessness. I never knew you. God knows everyone, but if you're not, your name's not written in His book, He doesn't know you. We want to be written in the Lamb's book of life.

Not only eating from the tree of life, but written in the Lamb's book of life. Everyone not found written in the book, in the last, at the end, was cast into the lake of fire. May the Lord help us and give us understanding on these things.

Resisting Temptation Through the Word of God

After we read from 1 John chapter 2, 15 to 17 about not loving the world and the things in the world, this is how Eve was tempted. Through the lust of the flesh. That's what Jesus was tempted in the wilderness.

If you're the Son of God, turn the stone to bread. The lust of the flesh. The lust of the eyes. He would show him all the kingdoms of the world if you'll just bow down and worship me. The woman saw that the food was good to eat.

She saw it to the eyes. It looked good to eat. But Jesus, he battled against these temptations with the word of God. Brothers, sisters, hide the word of God in your hearts so you don't sin against God.

That's why it's important to study, to show yourself approved unto God. A workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, the boastful pride of life. Throw yourself down from the temple, for he will give his angels charge over you and everyone will see that you're the Christ, if you are the Christ.

But Jesus said, it is written, man shall not put the Lord thy God to the test. And Eve also, you will be like God, knowing both good and evil, the boastful pride of life. One gave in to the temptation.

Jesus Christ stood fast and he resisted the temptation that the enemy brought. We all are tempted at different times and seasons in our life. The scripture says, Jesus taught us how to pray. Lead us not into temptation.

Each man's tempted when he's drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Jesus was made in his likeness of sinful flesh, but he was not sinful flesh. But he was tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin.

And we have a pattern. He cried out to his father with loud cries and tears, because his father could save him from death. And we can cry out to our father in Jesus name. We can cry out to Jesus to help us.

And he can sympathize with us in our weaknesses to help us to overcome. And we can come to the throne room of grace boldly in time of need and find help. There's power there. We don't want to just have a form of godliness and deny the power.

We want to come boldly to the throne of grace in time of need and find help from the Lord. As Jesus found help. When he says, everyone who desires to live godly in Christ must also walk just as he walked.

There must be provision to overcome. To him who overcomes there are certain promises. To him who overcomes and the seven churches. In every one of those churches there are more or less people, but there are some overcomers.

And this makes up the true church of Jesus Christ. The church of overcomers. You say antichrist. He's coming and you know he's in the European Union somewhere. Maybe Hitler was antichrist or maybe Trump is or maybe Biden is.

We get all caught up in foolishness. But let's go with what the word of God says. Little children in verse 18. 1st John 2 18. It is the last hour. And if 2000 some years ago was the last hour, we're in the last minutes.

And as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have already come. 2000 years ago many had already come. And since this time many many more have come. And in Jude you can read of the exhortation to the brethren there.

There were people who made great boasts. Who were feasting among the brothers with no fear of God. These were antichrists. They have no problem resisting and rejecting authority. Speaking evil of dignitaries.

They have no problem being grumblers and complainers. They have no fear of God because they're eternally secure. These are those that are wandering stars. These are those who are foaming up shame when they speak great words of emptiness.

The great swelling words of of emptiness. Flesh. Many antichrists it says here I've come. This is how we know it's the last hour. You say well yeah you know they're out there somewhere. No. They're in your church.

They're in your house. They're in your bible study group. It could be you. Lord is it me? Am I an antichrist? It's good to get light. What does your fruit look like in your life? Are you all about making a name for yourself?

Wanting people to like you and to love you? And you do all kinds of things to be seen by men? Or do you have a genuine fruit of the Holy Spirit? I think of the rich man. This rich man came. Good teacher.

What good things should I do that I might be saved? And Jesus said keep the commandments. And he said which ones? Well Jesus could have all ten but he quoted the five that he was really careful about.

Pleasing his neighbors. You shouldn't murder. You shouldn't commit adultery. You shouldn't lie. You shouldn't steal. But he didn't quote the ones that had to do with loving God. Brothers he said at the end he said you should love your neighbors yourself.

He said all these things I've done. All these things. But he had a problem with loving God. I shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. He had a problem with covetousness.

Thou shall have no other gods before me. He loved the world. He loved money. He loved things. And he said if you want to be perfect. You say well perfect that's impossible. When the Word of God says be perfect for I'm perfect.

He calls us to spiritual maturity. He says be holy for I'm holy. He said well I'll never be as holy as God. No we won't be on this side of heaven. But our desire the goal is Christ. The mark is the cross.

Bear his cross and follow after him as much as depends on you. Work out your salvation in this life with fear and trembling. Let God work in you both to will and to do for his good pleasure. Surrender your will to him.

Don't let self be seated on the throne of your heart. Don't let self be in control of the temple. And don't exalt God with your lips while your heart is far from him. And you are full of self. Lovers of money.

Boastful. Proud. Haughty. Arrogant. Easily offended. May the Lord help us to get light on ourselves. That we could be humble, humble, and humble. Says humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. And Lord Jesus is going to lift us up.

If we resist the devil when it comes to these things. Grumblers and complainers. I said Lord I grumble and complain sometimes. That's what the children of Israel did. And they were destroyed after 10 times.

Testing Fruit Within the Church

Lord forgive me of my grumbling complaining. We need to get light on ourselves. These antichrists went out from us. If you have a pure group that is walking in the spirit and abiding in the spirit. The Holy Spirit is present there.

You're going to find that these people begin fellowshipping with you as they did in Jude. But their fruit will manifest. And they will leave. Because they hate the anointing. They try to counterfeit the anointing.

Satan has power and authority to do certain things in this last day. And people are following after the false prophets who seemingly are calling down fire from heaven. And gifts are manifesting. And all kinds of stuff is happening.

But we want to follow the fruit. They're lovers, boastful, haughty, lovers of pleasure. They love money. We want to be careful. As brother Zach has shared, money is a wonderful servant but a terrible master.

We have to make sure that we love the Lord not money. They went out from us but they had not been of us for had they continued with us. But they went out that they might be made manifest that none of them were of us.

But you have an anointing. Now what we're going to find in the last days, as it says in Revelation 18, that this world is going to be in the church. In this time, in the last hour, he said that they would leave the church.

That they would leave the fellowship. That these people who had no fear of God. But he says in Revelation 18, come out from among her and be separate. Touch not the unclean thing and I'll receive you.

It says it's become a haunt of unclean birds and filthiness. Their tables are full of vomit. We have spent enough of our past lifetime living like this. We want to find a true fellowship in Christ where we can find two or three, as brother David Wilkerson shared, who love the Lord.

Who get together and they share their faith one with another. And the fear of God is among them. And the Lord hearkens into them from Malachi 3. And he hears the things that they're saying about the Lord.

And they're sharing testimony. And they're sharing their weaknesses, their struggles. And they're asking the Lord for help. And the Lord hearkens in and he writes their name in a book of remembrance. Them that fear the Lord, who speak about him.

He said, they shall be mine, saith the Lord, on the day that I make them my special jewels. May the Lord give us jewels in our crown. These kind of crowns of life, full of the jewels that God values. He says, the man spares his son who serves him faithfully.

Jesus said, no longer do I call you servants. I call you friends. And then he wants to call us children of God. As he says here in 1 John chapter 3, he says, behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called the children of God.

Hope, Purification, and Conformity to Christ

It says it has not yet been revealed or manifested completely what we shall be. But when Jesus is manifested, when the Holy Spirit takes over, when the Lord Jesus comes in glory, Christ in you, the hope of glory, and you begin to see changes in your life, you begin to see the love of God in your heart growing and your love for people manifesting.

Then we're going to see Jesus in us. It says, we shall see him as he is. In verse 3, verse 2. And everyone who has this hope in Jesus. Do you have hope in Jesus this morning? Or is your hope in something else?

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself. What does that look like? Hebrews 12, 1 and 2. Since we're surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us run with perseverance the way the race set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, throwing off every weight, as Brother Dan shared, and the sin.

Gifts are wonderful. But you know what? When we bear fruit, it says the Heavenly Father is glorified. The purpose of the gifts is that it would be for the edification of the body, for the building up of the church, that we would bear better and sweeter fruit for the glory of the Father, that Jesus would be manifested in our lives, that people would know us, that we're Christians.

Because the love we have one for another, the love that we are able to have for the world as Jesus had love for the world, the love that we will have for our enemies who spitefully use us, that God will bring us to a place that we could have genuine love for people who spitefully use us and persecute us.

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Can we pray this way? May the Lord help us to become the hands and feet of Jesus. May we become conformed into his likeness as we claim to have Christ in us, the hope of glory.

Maybe we see this glory as we purify our hearts through obedience to the truth, as we walk worthy of the calling of God. Lord, let your Word perform its work in us, that we would be doers of this Word, not hearers only deceiving ourselves, that the Word of God would be living and active in us, sharper than a two-edged sword, that we would get conviction when we read the Word, that our bones would tremble when we hear an anointed Word from God, and that we would not just resist the Holy Spirit, as the Pharisees, they always resisted the Holy Spirit.

They had a form of God in us. Outwardly they looked really good, but inwardly they were dry and they were dead man's bones. Lord, revive us again by the power of thy love. Pour out your Spirit upon us.

Cause your face to shine on us and be gracious to us. Lord, lift your countenance upon us, that we might be the radiation and the reflection of Jesus, living letters known and read by all men, that people would see Jesus through our testimony, that we wouldn't deny the Lord by our actions, as it says in Titus 1 .15, they profess to know God, but by their actions they deny him.

Lord, that our hands and our feet would have life in them, that our faith and our fruits would be evident before you, that you would be pleased that we would hear those words, well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord, that the joy of the Lord would be our strength, that we could become like Jesus, having loved righteousness and hated wickedness, that Jesus would make us like himself.

The Spirit and the Bride say, come Lord Jesus. May we pray even today, come Lord Jesus, be our guest, come among us, do a greater work among us, bring repentance and rest to us, revive us again, make us like yourself, fill us with the joy of the Lord, grant us the true peace, not a false peace, but a true peace that comes from knowing you in Jesus' name, amen.
