"Wolf hunters or God seekers"

The seduction is real but the out cry against it is weak if any. For many in the church have been and continue to be deceived and led astray by leaders of nations, churches, organizations  and cults who have an appetite for success, building their kingdom, embracing many eastern religions and philosophy's while imparting it to the flock. These are those that Jude spoke about in his epistle. These certain persons, who crept in unnoticed into the early church's love feast, are doing the same thing not only in society but in the last days church. If the church is only looking at the outward appearance, then what they will see is another one dressed in the same clothing as they. Jesus said "Beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves" (Matthew 7:15). It is hard to recognize something that is inward!

We must hear in the Spirit what they are speaking, and see in the Spirit the life they are living, based upon the scriptures, in order to discern by the Spirit if they are a wolf or a sheep. We are not called to go hunting after wolves, but to beware of them so that we won't be captured and devoured by their smooth alluring words. These are those that Jude described as clouds without rain, and if there is no rain being poured out in your assemblies then the Spirit is not there, and if the Spirit is not there than that church has become vulnerable to words that speak to the emotions, tickling the ears and opening the door to sorcery, imagination, visualization, which can captivate and paralyze any local church. Ground without water and cultivation will crack and become fallow, unable to bring forth good fruit. Jesus said that good fruit comes from a good tree and bad fruit comes from a bad tree. He said we would know them by their fruits.(Matt. 7:17-20) We speak of revival and an outpouring coming, which I believe is coming, but there is a revival going on right now that many are not aware of and if they were have become so paralyzed by this witchcraft, that they are unable to rise up against this cloud of deception. If I speak of a revival of deception then that means it has already existed in a previous time and is now being revived, fueled up by the enemy himself, to continue deceiving many. Paul in Acts 20:29 was warning the church in Ephesus to be on their guard because savage wolves will come in and not spare the flock. Even those close to us and members of our family have fallen into this web of seduction which has led them away from their once surrendered life to Christ. These are now wondering aimlessly because they have put away the truth, listening to the lie, have fallen asleep, becoming vulnerable to be devoured by the enemy. Our defense is to be God seekers and all His righteousness. Let us not forget what the Spirit spoke through Peter "for those to turn away from the knowledge of Christ and become entangled again, the last state will become worse for them than the first."(2 Peter 2:20) We need to understand that wolves and sheep aren't always necessarily individuals, but also governments and nations and churches. These entities, these institutions are to be the watch dogs, the protectors of society, the peacemakers, caregivers, examples of Christ to the church. But throughout history we see that many have crept in unaware and built their kingdoms and empires with the blood of martyrs and the riches of seduced nations. A narcissistic lone wolf has crept into the political arena and will trump many. He will divide with arrogant cunning speech, tickling the ears of the weaker. He will be a bulldozer for a season and hold the cards. Can God use a wolf? God can use anyone He wishes in His master plan, whether to open the eyes of a nation, or to humble a nation and bring an end times outpouring and the culmination of all things. The church is snowballing towards apostasy, but Elijah's cloud of outpouring is just on the horizon. The enemy would like nothing more than for the church to spend  time hunting wolves. I've never seen sheep hunt wolves, but I have seen them gather as one to their Shepherd. Jude 1:20 says that we are to build ourselves up on our most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.  The war room must be filled with intercessors that will stand against this defiling army of demons and stand unshakable with the blood of Jesus and the word of their testimony. The difference between a wolf and a sheep is a wolf is a hunter and a killer not sold out or surrendered to Christ, but is a sell out to his country or church. We have in this world today whether it be in the church or prowling the streets of society lone wolves or even a pack of wolves, that are determined to shred the life of a weak nation, church or one sheep that has gone astray, in order to satisfy their hunger. The sheep are dumb and need to be listening to their shepherd in order to stay alive and protected. Jesus told His disciples as well as us to be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. A wolf is boastful, arrogant, self-centered, always dividing the sheep to prey on the weaker. His or her words are cunning speaking what appeals to the emotions until one is captivated. All this is done through the guise of sorcery leading one away from the truth. I hear the Spirit saying "Stand firm in the faith having your loins girded with Truth" . As with Rehoboam (1Kings12) he acted foolishly by being partial to his generation as opposed to the generation of his father Solomon. If Rehoboam was sold out to Gods will he would have chosen the wisdom of the older generation and the people would have served him gladly. But he was a sell out to the people, the law and because of that he was at war tell he died. Rehoboam was a wolf in his day, only caring for themselves and acquiring kingdoms. We may be in the 21st century but the heart of man is still desperately wicked above all things. There is a parallel between this account and the church today. Jesus is making up His treasured possession (the church) ironing out the wrinkles and cleaning up the spots. The influences of this age have been strong against the church and a millennial generation has arisen. Many are leaving the wisdom of the older generation, the truth of the gospel of Christ and latching on to this lukewarm generation, absorbing this culture, even changing the gospel that it will be less offensive, in order to build their church. Many are having their ears tickled with words that they want to hear, rather than what the Spirit is saying.  Gods grace has become the cure all for our actions making it the norm to sin without any consequences. The conviction of the Spirit has been turned into something that is negative that must be avoided with positive words. True repentance has been swallowed up through smooth easy listening words of compromise leading one away from being convicted of their sin. Many are being lead away from sold out to Gods proven principles and buying into plans that will change the landscape of the local church in an unhealthy way. Jesus said in Matt. 24;3;24 "make sure that no one misleads you". Jesus then said that prior to His coming there would be a great deception. We are ripe for His coming and an awakening! The church is slowly being manipulated away from trusting God and the plans He has for them, to visualizing, imagining and dreaming where they want to be, allowing their minds to take over and imagination to take root which is sorcery. Let us not forget that God will not abdicate His lordship to the power of our minds. We are to seek only the mind of Christ and His mind is not materialistic, it is not focused on success or wealth. Christ mind is focused on the glory of God and obedience to His word. Paul said in 2 Corinth.10:5 "that we are to destroy imaginations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God." The heart of the believer is being deceived and many who had a strong commitment to the gospel are slowly being turned from sold out to Jesus to selling out from what they were raised in and wanting something new. Many churches are being transformed from a Spirit filled/lead first love ministry to a multilevel mega business. From a church whose mandate is to reach all nations with the gospel, to building their own kingdoms with salaries that would knock your socks off, with the justification of "and greater works shell you do". When  Jesus comes for His bride there will have been much upheaval. The church will have gone through apostasy. There will be a revival that will include all generations at that time. A restoration of the pure gospel that the last days remnant will walk heart to heart in. For the Son of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. The church will be like calves being released from the stalls. Released from the heavy yoke of religion to walking in the freedom of the Spirit. One cannot fake first love! A wolf can only look and act like a sheep but soon enough that which is inwardly will come out and they will be found out. Our defense, is Christ in us the hope and glory. Being renewed first love with our Bridegroom and connected to the word with obedience will illuminate anything contrary to His kingdom and expose it. Jesus said there would be tares among the wheat, but at harvest time the tares( the stumbling blocks) would be gathered up into bundles and burned but the wheat would be gathered into His barn. (Matthew 13:24-30; 37-43). Take courage beloved and shine forth as stars! Let our ambition be to seek all Of our Father and stand strong in Him and the power of His might! It is time to stand up against this seduction that mediocre christianity be change into a blaze that cannot be quenched!!
