The Final Show
By: Kenya Gossett

"See ye then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is." Ephesians 5:15-17 KJV

The earth is changing. The world is wicked and corrupt. People are calling good, evil, and evil, good. Immorality is running rampant. False prophets are arising from every corner spreading a false doctrine- a different Jesus. The birth pangs of prophecy are being felt all across the world right before our very eyes. Yet... the church is sleeping. 

"Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober." 1 Thessalonians 5:6

I don't want to be the one who preaches gloom and doom, but when I see compromising and deception flowing in the midst of those who profess to know God, I can't help but be a voice crying in the wildness. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it.”
‭‭Matthew 7:13-14‬ ‭AMP‬‬

FEW. Only a few. Many out there today think that just because someone says they love God, that it immediately gives them a ticket to eternal life. It doesn't work that way. Not every "Christian" will make it. You will know by the fruit that comes forth from their tree. Is there a change in their every day life? If there's no relationship, no intimacy, no fear to keep the commandments of His Word, then that should tell you right there what path they are on.

“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew‬ ‭7:22-23‬ ‭KJV 

Many will come in His name. That's His words. Not mine. Many will boast in their wonderful works, thinking they are doing Him a service. But He does not know them. How scary.

The majority of churches right now are so caught up in their programs, their coffee stands, their lights, what is the "new fad" that will bring the masses in, and what word they should preach that will make people stay. They are so fearful of offending the crowd.

The religious scene today is filled with inventions and ministries of man and flesh. It is seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. (1 Timothy 4:1)
The gospel and the Kingdom is being so watered down and distorted, that many in the church profess to be born again, but show no evidence at all of a renewed life. More of the world has come into the church, instead of the church going out into the world, bringing the power of the Holy Spirit because that is what makes an impact. Not the worldly music, not the money, not how cool and relatable they can be. 
This generation needs the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus Christ. Don't you think the Holy Spirit is big enough to touch someone through the simplicity of the gospel? We don't need to compromise to get their attention. 

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a FORM OF GODLINESS, but DENYING the power thereof: from such turn away.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

But nobody wants to hear this. No one wants to accept the critical time we are living in or do anything about it. We have become so passive to what the Word of God warns. I know people think I need to "lighten up" or that I'm being "legalistic" or that I'm not "free", but even Jesus had a righteous anger in Matthew 21, when he saw that they were selling and compromising in the temple of God. He flipped over their tables. It was supposed to be a house of prayer, but it was made into a den of thieves. It's the same today. They are prostituting the church, throwing away the holiness of what God intended. 

Beloved, we are on the final show. We are getting very very close to the ending credits. This is serious. The enemy is going to go through every mainstream to take away Gods elect. PUT ON YOUR ARMOR. It's not time to let our guard down or to take our walk with Christ lightly. TODAY is the day of salvation. We can't afford to have the mindset of "Oh I'll get right with God tomorrow." because tomorrow may never come. 

STAY AWAKE. Even in the natural, signs and wonders in the sky are going to happen this year.  It is some of the last prophecies being fulfilled. Our time is wrapping up. Don't get caught up in this world or the filth that comes with it. Don't get caught up in a church that sugar coats the Kingdom. Don't fellowship with an unfruitful crowd, who dilute your convictions. and don't defend what God condemns. 

Choose life. Choose Jesus and HIS ways. Choose purity and holiness. Choose to be wise and redeem the time. Be known by Jesus. He is coming.
