“Look Into the Gospel”
“ Lawlessness”
Lawlessness is one of the great signs of the last days. We are seeing this now. Our world has entered a new age of lawlessness and I believe it is because the spirit of the antichrist is in operation. I am not saying he has come to power, but his spirit, which is satanic, is in operation in our world. One major lawless movement is to defund the police. This isn’t a bipartisan view, but a very partisan ideology. This ideology says people can attack law enforcement. Some politicians are not outraged by this, instead they stand behind those attacking law enforcement.
What the Word of God says about the coming of Jesus:
2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
The Great Apostasy
1-2 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3-4 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as god in the temple of God, showing himself that he is god.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
Occurrences that tell us we are in living in the last days:
1. A falling away. (Why we have taught about the woke church vs the true church?)
2. The man of sin will be revealed. (An important event that scripture could imply that it cannot happen until after the church is raptured (He is taken out of the way.))
3. The antichrist will try to exalt himself above all, even God. The antichrist will want to be worshipped and then will try to sit as God in the temple in Jerusalem.
4. The lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord will consume him with the breath of His mouth and destroy him with the brightness of His coming. This will be the end of the tribulation, when Jesus will return with the saints and angel armies.
I believe the Lord wants us to know about the happenings that precede Jesus Christ coming to establish His Kingdom.

December Prayer Strategy
“A Child is Born!”
Isaiah 9:6 (ESV) For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His Name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
This time of year we celebrate when Jesus was given to earth. Luke 2:12-14 (NLT) 12 And you will recognize Him by this sign: You will find a Baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of Heaven—praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
The armies of Heaven praised God at the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus is Lord and Master of all He has given us salvation, healing, deliverance, and freedom. He lived a perfect life that we could never live so that we might benefit from His righteousness. He is a Wonderful Counselor, He guides our every step, and comforts us in our distress. He is Mighty God all powerful and all sufficient for any of our needs. He is the Everlasting Father fully embracing us the prodigals who have all gone astray. He is the Prince of Peace the government is on His shoulder as He changes the times and seasons, removes kings and establishes kings.
Daniel 2:21 (AMP) “It is He Who changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise And [greater] knowledge to those who have understanding!
It is so important that Christians agree with scripture and see Christ as the King. Where His Kingdom is there is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:17 (KJV) For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Let’s pray for Jesus Christ to bless us this Christmas season with righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Let’s give thanks for the gift we have been given in Jesus Christ. His goodness has given us freedom let’s thank Him for our salvation and His goodness. Pray His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Pray for peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. Pray His people go out with joy, grace, and mercy when they are used by God to preach to every creature. Pray God’s people prepare to bring in a great harvest of people into His Kingdom. Pray that the family of God will be full of the Spirit, and walk in His righteousness, peace and joy. Pray for harmony in the Army of God that we will all be one and in Jesus so that the world may believe Jesus was sent by the Father. (John 17:21)
