You truly believe this is here and now end times?

yes

I know it is the end times; I don't just believe it anymore

I know in part and prophesy in part

1 Corinthians 13:9-12
King James Version
9 "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part."

I want to be that convicted but I’m not there yet

That is a good spirit you have. Continue to stay poor in spirit. Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

You get taught the most important lessons there are to learn by being poor in spirit which means that you aren;t going to commit fully to an idea that someone gives you and you sort of place that idea or w/e to the side and let other information flow into your life

The door is small and the way is hard my friend. I envy your knowledge.

I will say as well that just because I say " I know this!" doesn't mean i'll find myself sometimes sitting alone and thinking "hmmm, what if i'm wrong and this isn't the end times".

I admire your knowledge about clinging to that which is good and admonishing that which is evil.

You give me too much credit. Faith is a thing which I have to strive for each day

On a separate but similar note; i've seen a push to get people to deny God and start following the 'Alien and UFO' route. This path leads people to deny God and start believing in all sorts of weird stuff. Alot of people who go looking for that truth end up dead or missing because they start off exploring something they know nothing about and they start off by denying the creator (which is a big no no) you basically leave yourself open to attack from all sorts of evil.

I have no doubt that something like that will find its way into your life and that "knowledge" will challenge you

Just remember that there are Angels and Demons here on Earth. If you can remember that; then no matter what information comes your way God will give you the RIGHT understanding of how to process it

Hebrews 13:2 says
New International Version
"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it."

Which means that there will be fallen Angels that you will have to be kind to

That’s very good advice. Thank you. I do pray for guidance regularly. One of those things that always provides peace to the soul I difficult times.

You don't have to pray to these Angels or worship them (and the non-fallen ones will tell you not to pray to them either).

My mom used to tell me you never know when God is giving you an opportunity to prove your character

Your mom is a very smart woman

I’ve never understood the praying to Mary though

Me neither

I pray to God and Jesus, and most of the time it’s just both at the same time cause I’m not entirely sure where one begins and the other ends

Catholics believe that she is Mother of God or something like that. In any case; whatever strange doctrine comes your way; just remember that the creator of everything YHWH had to die and take on all the sin of the world and he was ressurected. As long as you recognize that Yehoshua(God is Savior) [also know as (Lord Jesus Christ)] then you will be fine.

Yup we’re on the same page on that front

@ManX He knows what is in your heart; keep on doing what you're doing.

@ManX Also. Have you ever tried to pray in the spirit? I'm not talking about praying with words; but using your mind to pray. The best way I can describe it is think of doing a math problem in your head. Now try to pray for someone without being distracted or have something compete for your attention.

Not sure entirely

It is a new experience to find out that there are things and forces that will try to stop you from praying in the spirit.

Give it a try

I will consciously try, I think I have before, but not with intent if that makes sense. I’ve just been so impassioned a few times that it’s maybe been the same

It's hard to do at first because there are evil spirits trying to stop you from praying in the spirit.

It doesn't get any easier; but it is always something to strive for.

Interesting. I’ll report back my experience 🙂

One of my favorite prayers to pray is blessing everything. By doing so I like to think that God is going to reveal something to me because according to scripture; everything that is given with thanks to god is good. So i'll pray in the spirit something like : " Lord and heavenly father, we as one spirit ask you to bless this song to our body and spirit of Lord Jesus Christ" Then after that; i'll continue to listen to the song, but it will be a whole new experience.

@Ricky Beanbag I’m going to try and pray in spirit for you tomorrow. Hope you’re ready for your life to change!

Like a hymn or just any good natured song that glorifies him?

@ManX Any song

You can bless anything and as soon as you bless it; it will be good

You'll find the good
