Die well

2 John 1:7

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist

-

1 John 4:2,3

2

This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

3

but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

1 John 2:22

22

Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist--denying the Father and the Son.

1 John 2:18

18

Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

Human beings have souls. Souls are guided by the kingdom they are a part of. Satan's kingdom is on Earth, and the Kingdom of God is in Heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is available to humans through belief in Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit baptism. A believer dies of their worldliness, and seeks to have holiness come through them. A Kingdom is very much what we consider a conscience. What we consider 'heart', is very much what the ancients knew to be a Kingdom.

So there are two distinct kingdoms. One based on the world can supply, and another based on what holiness can be acted on. Why Jesus makes the division between God and Money is, money and its influence, supply humanity with justification of their will. While, those who deny themselves, serve the will of God, and through them the unseen qualities of holiness are manifested.

The antichrist spirit is honored by mankind's reliance on the conscience of Satan.

When we love what we can do for one another because of our wealth, that love is not holy. But if we instead have a love for God, and serve one another despite our circumstances, that love is holiness coming through our acts.

When we have joy in what we have, that joy is not holy. But if we instead suffer in denial of ourselves, because of our love for God, this is the joy that is holy.

When we are kind to those whose relationships we covet, this is not holy. But when we instead are kind to those who we must deny ourselves to be kind to, this we do because we love God, and that sufferance is holy.

When we place our faith in the future, that faith is not holy. Faith is, like all holiness, in the present moment. We deny ourselves, and allow faithfulness to guide our hearts and minds in holiness, Amen.

These are just a few examples. But what is very clear, is the kingdom of Satan is present in all of mankind, with the exception of those who carry the Truth forward in the moment.

It is unsettling to consider. And, it is very obvious the spiritual poverty of the world. The wealth set out for those who abide in the world is only temporary, and those who serve in this way die unable to take it with them. This is why Jesus said to gather wealth in eternal realms, where nothing rusts or spoils.

We are not what we see. Each of us is a part of an ever expanding spiritual design called life. If our life here on earth cannot remain in the present moment and develop with holiness, when the body perishes, the soul will only know what it desired. This is the trap of condemnation, and the 'purgatory' of the soul is very much the realignment or abandonment of that soul which cannot seek first by the Kingdom of God.

Yes, many antichrists have come. They were not in the form of devils, but instead leaders who took the gospel of Truth and denied it, or worse, altered it. Today, antichrists work to replace the Truth of the Kingdom of God with the kingdom of Satan. They sell the idea that the flesh is capable of holiness. They sell the idea that the economies, and authorities of mankind carry the will of God. The final antichrist will embody this, and the world will celebrate it.

Very few believers who claim Jesus will be awake and able to see what is in that moment. Because they have been deceived into believing the will of God can be done in ways that are seen.

If a soul can say Jesus is the Son of God, they must recognize that Jesus conquered death and then also ascended, returning to the presence of the Father as His Authority. In order to show their belief in this, their actions should convey it. They repent and deny themselves in moments where they would otherwise do what they desire. We are under grace, because it is impossible for us to do holy acts. Without the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, we would have nothing to replace our natural desire to act of the human reliance on the kingdom of Satan. This is why it is said, with man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Keep praying. Give the present moment over to God to serve His will. Stay aware. Yes, you will falter, but the more persevere, the more confident you will become. The more confident you become in the strength the Truth provides, the greater and more abundant challenges will become. You will stumble. Get back up.

We are both carrying the same Spirit in us when we are serving the will of God. That same Spirit is what overcame death itself through Christ Jesus' love of the Father. We just need to move ahead, humbled by the fact that we are lost without it. We are nothing without service to His will. The times are upon us where people who walk in the unseen ways of God are looked down on, labelled as mentally ill, diluted. The time is coming where those who carry the truth we be considered an enemy of those who consider themselves holy.

To die for the one you love is the example Christ set out for us. Die well.
