Every compromise is a mark, preparing you for the mark of the antichrist.

Every compromise is a mark , preparing you for the mark of the antichrist..

1 John  3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Have you ever taught about it.  Every time you choose to do the wrong,  makes you receive a mark, that makes satan to claim ownership of you. 

Every time you choose to obey the voice contrary to God’s words, you deliberately sold yourself to the devil as his own.

Don’t ever forget, he or she that is committing sin, does not belong to Jesus, he or she belongs to the devil.

Jesus knows His own, this is because, no matter how difficult their situation may be. Whatever it will cost them, even their blood, they still choose to follow Jesus and heed is voice.

John  10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:  10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

They become more wiser than satan subtilty, because they hear and do His sayings at whatever cost.

Matthew  7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:  7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Right from Bible days, the spirit of antichrist in the world,  deceiving churchgoers to compromise and receive His mark.

The antichrist is not here on the earth physically, his spirit is already in the world and the false prophet, false teachers and motivational speakers are his representative.

The Bible confirms this.

1 John  2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 John  2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 John  4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2 John  1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

When you choose not to receive the truth, God leaves you with your free will to believe the lies of the false teachers and prophets and motivational speakers . You receive their lies, and you are deceived. 

2 Thessalonians  2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:  2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,  2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The Bible calls the spirit these false teachers and prophets and motivational speakers used as seducing spirits.

1 Timothy  4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Churchgoers heeding seducing spirits will not partake in the imminent rapture. 

Their consciences have already been seared, they will not be able to resist receiving the mark of antichrist when he comes finally.

1 Timothy  4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;  4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

They will take the mark of the antichrist and be totally doomed.

Revelation  13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

These professors of faith and churchgoers are forever doomed.

Revelation  14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,  14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:  14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Pause and be very sincere to yourself. Are you a possession of the devil, because you are still committing sin?

1 John  3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Has your conscience been seared and  God has permitted you, because of your free will or free moral agency, to listen to deceivers, false teachers and prophets and motivational speakers and you are now damned?

2 Thessalonians  2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:  2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

This morning, if you will hear His voice, harden not your heart.

Hebrews  3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,  3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:  3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Their is still a way out. The way out is to be wise and take to heart the sayings of Christ. Humble yourself and be receptive to the sayings of Christ in the Bible.

Matthew  7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:  7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Now that His words are eternal, they can never pass away.

Matthew  24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Begin from today to be living the entirety of God’s words in the Bible.

Matthew  4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

This will make you to partake in the imminent rapture and avoid great tribulation .

Revelation  3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.  3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

In addition your name will not be removed from the book of life.

Revelation  22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:  22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Whosoever name is removed from the book of life, will spend eternity with satan and antichrist in the lake of fire.

Revelation  20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.  20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Retreat your steps today, tomorrow might be too late.

2 Corinthians  6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Let us pray.
