Sifted Saints

Scripture: Luke 22: 31-32...'And, Jesus said to Simon, ,'Simon, behold,
Satan wants to sift all of you like wheat. But, I have made supplication
for you that your faith may not weaken; and even you, in time, will
repent and strengthen your brothers.

With all my heart, I feel that the church is being taken into a time of
sifting and shakings and we are entering a time of 'final choices'. What
is about to happen could effect the souls of millions of believers and that
includes you and me. I truly believe that Satan's goal is to keep the
Body of Christ in deception, lacking the full truth of the Gospels.
Therefore, a great number of believers will not be taken away and
counted among Christ's holy remnant Bride

The Lord has placed it on my heart to 'Warn them...Tell them!
There is no time to waste. Soon and very soon, the time of warning and
decision making will be over. The open door will suddenly close and the
birth pains will in turn go into a time of judgment and the tribulation.
In the Christian context, 'sifting the saints' refers to a period of
intense happenings, shakings, testings, and trials that will intensify in
the End Times. Believers will be challenged to keep their deep faith in
the Lord and steadfast closeness and devotion to Him. So, deep trials
and challanges are about to come upon us. There is coming a time of
increased hardships, attacks, and sufferings that will test our resiliance
and strength down to the core of our souls. This suffering process is
sent to separate the wheat from the tares, the chaff from the wheat, the
true from the untrue. This will also be a time of purification for His
people of any falsehoods, impurities , and a time of strengthening our
faith.

Through the sifting and shaking, the church's true character, and true
motives will come to light. We will see if indeed God's people truly had
that one-on-one relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ or they were just
wrapped up in a man-made religion only ruled by traditions, pastors, or
in the rituals of religion, or was totally of self.
In review, the 'sifting of the saints' during these End Times is coming
upon the church as another wake-up call to God's people. The Lord is
challanging us whether we will maintain our close communion with Him
or will we fall through the cracks.

The question is will we choose to stand by Christ's side no matter
what happens? Or, as times get harder, will we decide to turn away and
try to handle everything by ourselves away from God's true plans and
purposes for our lives?
Be encouraged in the shakings that is coming for in those times of
shaking, the presence of the Lord will come upon the faithful. The Holy
Spirit will be poured out on His holy, remnant church, over-flowing and a
fresh anointing of His Spirit and power will be made manifest, not
raining down in mere drops but in a double anointing of His Spirit. See:
Zoel 2:23.

As Jesus said in Matthew 24: 13...' But the one who endures to the
end will be saved.' And, also, according to the Word, a period of
increased shakings and trials will come, increased lawlessness and
ultimately the Lord will return in the clouds. The trumpet will sound .
We will be taken in a twinkle of an eye where His true and failthful bride
will be forever with the Lord. Amen.
