If you see unfolding events or coming days as God's retribution in fire and casting of sinners, you do not know God. If you believe God is responsible for the end of days, you do not know God. If you see God as judge and executioner, you do not know God.
These days that are ending are from our hands, our choices, our denial of who and what we are. It, too, is our denial of all that is God. The Devil, Evil, Satan, or whatever the name, has perpetrated many lies cloaked in lamb's clothing. Yes, Evil comes dressed as Evil, but too, it comes dressed in linens. In arrives in truth but with one lie. It dresses in brick and mortar bars and brothels, self-indulgence, and delusional righteousness. It, too, lives in churches, as one standing at the pulpit. It comes as saviors of man, but, as and from man.
How does one discern the difference between Evil and God? You see, both tell their truths, but one is open and honest, while the other contrives and manipulates. One, God, offers choice, your choice, or mine. The other, Evil, dictates, extorts, and forces.
When one looks beyond the fears and illusions cast in front of them, one can tell the difference between free choice and dictated orders. While Evil says you will obey, God offers choice. If someone in our lives is demanding conformity and compliance, see those demands for what they are and who is ordering them. If one allows choice, know they are of God.
If someone offers salvation and freedom for money, know they are not giving freedom, but enslavement. Freedom, God's freedom is free, but, for a mere choice, your choice. Yes, you can choose to monetize freedom and God, and you can pay for something priceless - this you can choose. In doing so, you do not step into truth and God, but the lies of man and Evil. If your church offers indulgences, a ticket to heaven, they do so from their living evil. The only price you must pay to reach God is your choice to do so.
Your price, beyond choice, has been paid in full. Yeshua, the Way, and the Light came before you and has paid your price. This forgiveness, this grace was given to us through Jesus' experience of our fears, our doubts, and our sins. It was paid for in his asking of God, as he died; Forgive them, for they know not what they do. He knew we knew not what we do, for he lived amongst us, and suffered as we suffered. It became known in his living our lives that our task of living God's image was more than we could live.
Now is the time for courage, strength, and faith, for in these last of days, it is we who must pay the price. That price, again, is just our choice. We must, and will, however, choose.
When the beast commands compliance, we will choose to obey, or we will accept our gift of choice, and step into God.
I ask and pray that you allow yourself to know and live the difference between God and Evil. I ask God to step into your life and that you choose God to live within you. ~ I Am - Wisdom
