Perilous Times Are Here

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. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

  The devil has come down to make war with the saints of God ,    Jas 4:4 ASV   Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?     Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.

Jas 4:6 ASV - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
Jas 4:7 ASV - Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
For you who would desire to live godly will have trials and tribulations , some for the purging of our souls unto righteousness , and some for the warfare against satan for our souls. 
God would have not given us armor to wear if we were not to engage the enemy with spiritual warfare .      Eph 6:11 ASV - Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 ASV - For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
 2Co 10:3 ASV - For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh
2Co 10:4 ASV - (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds);
2Co 10:5 ASV - casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;                                              
 Eph 6:11 ASV - Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.   For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

Mar 1:13 ASV - And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.  This word beast is very important to understand , when we received the spirit of God we also were forced into our own wilderness a   solitary, lonely, desolate  place of decision .    The holy ghost is the power to over come in this wicked world ,  the endued with power from on high .  Endued Greek: enduo  Endue:
in the Middle Voice, "to put on oneself, be clothed with," is used metaphorically of power, Luk 24:49, RV, "clothed."      Rom 13:14 ASV - But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.    1Jo 2:5 ASV - but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:
1Jo 2:6 ASV - he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.

 Luk 3:16 ASV - John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:  First we must see the baptism of John in our life's .   Mar 1:4 ASV - John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins .     John brought the new dispensation of remission of mans sins ,  and life eternal .     Dispensation    oikonomía, oy-kon-om-ee'-ah; from G3623; administration (of a household or estate); specially, a (religious) "economy":—dispensation, stewardship.   For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.    
Act 4:11 ASV - He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.

Luk 3:6 ASV - And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.                                                                                                         Greek: tribos   Path:
"a beaten track" (akin to tribo, "to rub, wear down"), "a path," is used in Mat 3:3; Mar 1:3; Luk 3:4.                 
Rev 3:20 ASV - Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.    Repentance is a daily commitment in our walk, that we live worthy of our repentance , this repentance John brought through baptism of water. Is also a death to self and the carnal mind , repent is to have a change of mind.     Luk 13:3 ASV - I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, Ye Shall All in like manner perish           Luk 16:13 ASV - No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   The path is to your heart here and it says to make it smooth a well beaten path , this path is for Jesus to come and make his home in your heart , it is having a relationship with him in your every day life .    Obstacles in our life is compared to sin   , everything that is not light is darkness .  The carnal mind is an enemy unto God .  The word saved is also the word  healed it is two fold .     And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.        Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it.      
  1Pe 2:24 ASV - who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.   Healed spiritually and physically  our souls are being saved daily as we continue in his commandants and his gospel.       Jas 1:21 ASV - Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.   The implanted word is Christ in you the hope of Glory to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:   Salvation is a journey we walk every day ,  holiness and righteousness , obedience to the gospel Gods word brings about holiness in our life.         Luk 3:8 ASV - Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

11Pe 2:1 ASV - Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1Pe 2:2 ASV - as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;
1Pe 2:3 ASV - if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:
1Pe 2:4 ASV - unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,Pe 1:16 ASV - because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.
1Pe 2:9 ASV - But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

1Pe 2:11 ASV - Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Isa 42:16 ASV - And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.     In the fullness of time Jesus came to fulfill this prophecy.     The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor:
He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovering of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty them that are bruised,
