Jesus explained there be wars, nations fighting against each other, famines and earthquake and these will be just the beginning of sorrows, then tribulation and death and being hated by all nations only because they are His followers. Many will be offended and fall away and betray one another and hate one another.
We are living in such days. The reason many believers will be offended and fall away from the faith is because they have been raised to believe that all suffering will end by them 'accepting Christ'. When persecution and tribulation occur, they will not be prepared for it and many will be overwhelmed that such suffering can come to Gods children and since they only wanted ease and comfort from Christ, when they see that they can escape the sufferings by denying Christ, they will deny Him and betray each other. They will develop bitterness against each other because they will be blaming others to be the cause of their misery and sufferings.
Where do you stand? Do you believe that just because you are a Christian no suffering or persecution or tribulation will come to because you are a Christian? If yes you are in a very dangerous position because when they come to you, you will not stand, you will be amongst those who fall away.
Did you come to Christ to find ease and comfort? Then when you don't find it you will deny Him. How much are you willing to suffer for the cause of Christ? Is your attitude like that of the 3Hebrew boys which was; I would rather die than deny Christ. I will live for the one who gave His life for me.
Paul's attitude was
Acts 20:24- But I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify solemnly of the gospel of the grace of God.
Have the same attitude.
Many false prophets will arise and perform great miracles and wonders so that if possible they will deceive Even the elect.
It's interesting that many are undiscerning in this area. Just because one does great signs and wonders doesn't prove that they are servants of God. Many of them are deceivers.
Are they leading you repentance? Are they leading you to a godly life? Do they tell you of denying yourself and taking up your cross to follow Christ, or do they only how you can get things from God?
Do not be deceived by miracles.
You are blessed to be a blessing
