Sadly,
we have all been so conditioned, so lulled to sleep by a sense of
security that we are completely complacent. People do not have the
intestinal fortitude nor the spiritual strength to withstand the rigors
of tribulation.
There will be a great separation
of the possessors from the professors. We need a real, heaven sent,
Holy Ghost revival, or we (many of us) are sunk. Ah, but those who find
the Lord their Rock and Refuge will stand in His strength. I trust I am
prepared, but I know that I must dig deeper in His Word, hold tighter to
His promises, depend greater on His Spirit and work harder in His
vineyard.
I fear for those I know who are asleep. To them, church is
ho-hum, character is at a low ebb, their lives are filled with idolatry
and they crave the love and approval of the world. Yes, pandemonium is
coming. Prepare your hearts. Lean on Him for understanding, strength,
grace and mercy. All else will crumble like a dried potsherd under the
weight of a heavy stone.
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." Matthew 24:21 But we can take heart in that "those days should be shortened" v. 22 Let's not live in fear of these events, for God will see us through them (Psalm 91). Our only fear is not being in Christ, as you said.
