"A Measure Of Faith" - 2

So, now let me ask you a question, but do not answer it right away: Are you ready to take a stand for Jesus Christ? There is a coming time, when your job will be in jeopardy because of your faith; we may not believe it can happen, but it will. And the main difference will be for those that believe that Jesus is the only Way; because there are many that believe in God, or a god; but a very small percentage of those are Children of God; because there is only One Way to become a Child of God, and that is through Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God. So then, what do you think happens when all those others, who believe in God (what ever God they serve) take offence to the belief that we posses; of coarse, they will call us bigoted, or narrow minded, or Jesus freaks. But when the rubber meets the road, are you ready to get pressed? You see, when the lines start getting drawn in the sand, they become narrower and narrower; it is actually almost the reverse of what has taken place over the years of decay; there most be a sifting, to take out those that do not hold the same belief. What I am trying to say, is that the Church is going to become more and more like Jesus in the last days. Remember what I said before, the closer He gets, the brighter we become; so then, the brighter we become, the more those that do not choose Christ will be offended by us; Why? Because the Light will expose their darkness; just as Jesus said in John 3:20, "For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither come to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved." But you might say, 'Those that will be standing with us are going to be doing good, not evil'. To which I will say this: Wait and see; because the thing which you think holds you together, has a greater divide, and that divide is Jesus Christ. When you study the Scriptures, especially the New Testament, there are those you will see that are okay with the Gospel message, and then they turn. And when I say turn, I mean they turn evil, really evil; so evil that they will kill to stop that Light which makes them feel the way it makes them feel. This is what I am talking about when I say a sifting; as more and more of God's Children begin to get real, and begin to shine brighter, more and more of those that are not His children, will get darker and darker. Again; Are you ready? You really do not need to think to hard on that, because that is really not what matters; why do I say that? Because, just like Peter, we all might think that we are, and be zealous enough to fight and cut off peoples ears; but it will only be determined by how much we Love the Lord, and hate this life. So, we might think we will stand with Jesus, but if we are still stuck to this world, then we won't stand for long. "He said unto him a third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me? Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou Me? And he said unto Him, Lord thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love Thee. Jesus said unto him, Feed My Sheep. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. This spake He, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He saith unto him, Follow Me." (John 21:17-19)
