Times are upon us now so incredibly deceptive that unless you are walking moment to moment in your covenant with Jesus, you won't survive it.
Even now, the Angel of the Lord is putting God's covenant 'scar' on His people who will walk in His covenant. Only those who carry the Mark of God will be able to refuse the Mark of the Beast. There will be a great and terrible shaking. This will be the time when we must determine steadfastly where we stand, for to choose life is to choose eternal death, and to choose death is to choose eternal life. God has said that great deception is coming on the world that is so great - so great - that it will deceive even the very elect, if that were possible. Unless you have the very mind of Christ, the deception will overcome you. To receive any part of it is to receive all of it. There will be no middle ground. No one can ride the fence - the shaking will be so intense that not even the fence itself can stand.
The Lord says to flee into His Covenant. There is no other safe place in all the world. You must be full of what the Word says, particularly about His Covenant. You must be like a sponge completely soaked with water, in which the slightest pressure will cause you to exude the Holy Spirit. It must be so full in you that anyone who brushes up against you gets wet. It was that way for the woman with the issue of blood, who merely touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was healed. We are now in those days where the early and latter rain are pouring out in such abundance that anyone who brushes up against God's people will be touched by the Holy Spirit. We will have a ministry of such power through the Holy Spirit that we won't even be fully conscious of it's effect.
Chaos is overcoming the people of the Earth even now, and peace is nowhere to be found except by those who abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The peace of God's covenant people will stand out to anyone who encounters them, and will engender a response one way or the other from those who are in turmoil. No one can react to God's people with indifference, because the difference between Christians and the world will be like a chasm of gigantic proportions. The world will seek desperately for relief from the fear and desperation that is upon them. Many will be receptive. Each will have to choose whether he will be for God or for the world. The world will be so blinded by deception that they will persecute God's people and think they are doing what is right. The times are here in which men say wrong is right and right is wrong. The darkness is overtaking the world and overtaking men, and every man will make a decision. There is only a sliver of time left to choose the Light or the Darkness. It is in this sliver of Light left in the world that mankind can still be saved from the great darkness that is gathering its great strength to completely deceive men.
Those Christians who seek the mind of Christ and become established in God's Blood Covenant are the only ones who will be able to discern the good from the evil. This isn't going to be a 'feel good after church' style of Christianity. This will be a commitment so strong that even though the lives of God's people are in peril from moment to moment, their covenant with God will direct their path and keep them in peace as they minister the Holy Spirit to a desperate and dying world. Study what God's Word says about God's covenant with Abraham. Study Galatians, chapter three. Think on them. Make it a part of your life. Determine that every action on your part will be based on the covenant. Walk in it. It will direct your footsteps and give you wings of eagles to rise above the chaos.
An eagle needs updrafts to rise higher and higher above the world, and updrafts come from turmoil. The greater the turmoil below, the higher the eagle can go. The Wind of the Holy Spirit is like the updraft that lifts God's covenant people higher and higher, while the Judgement of God below shakes and pulls down everything that exalts itself against Him. A man who does not understand the covenant of God will be pulled apart, because if he doesn't understand the Word, in what does he have faith?
