Always seek confirmation and affirmation from the Almighty God of all things.<\/p>\n<p>For such false ones are coming, and even now such are here amongst humanity, as written:<\/p>\n<p>11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. <\/p>\n<p>Matthew 24:11 <\/p>\n<p>As also written:<\/p>\n<p>23 \u201dThen if anyone says to you, \u2018Look, here is the Christ!\u2019 or \u2018There!\u2019 do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>26 \u201dTherefore if they say to you, \u2018Look, He is in the desert!\u2019 do not go out; or \u2019Look, He is in the inner rooms!\u2019 do not believe it. <\/p>\n<p>Matthew 24:23-26 <\/p>\n<p>As additionally written:<\/p>\n<p>21 \u201dThen if anyone says to you, \u2018Look, here is the Christ!\u2019 or, \u2018Look, He is there!\u2019 do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Mark 13:21-23 <\/p>\n<p>As furthermore written:<\/p>\n<p>8 And He said: \u201dTake heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, \u2018I am He,\u2019 and, \u2018The time has drawn near.\u2019 Therefore do not go after them.<\/p>\n<p>Luke 21:8 <\/p>\n<p>There shall be Destructive Doctrines sent forth by such false ones, as written:<\/p>\n<p>Destructive Doctrines<\/p>\n<p>1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. 2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3 By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.<\/p>\n<p>2 Peter 2:1-3 <\/p>\n<p>Should we not watch out for these things in these days amongst us now? <\/p>\n<p>As we all should also watch for the coming of our Lord and Savior? <\/p>\n<p>As written:<\/p>\n<p>No One Knows the Day or Hour<\/p>\n<p>36 \u201dBut of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew 24:36-44 <\/p>\n<p>As more so written:<\/p>\n<p>No One Knows the Day or Hour<\/p>\n<p>32 \u201dBut of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming\u2014in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning\u2014 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark 13:32-37 <\/p>\n<p>As even more so written:<\/p>\n<p>The Importance of Watching<\/p>\n<p>34 \u201dBut take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luke 21:34-36 <\/p>\n<p>Lastly, be good before God and Man, for the Lord knows our very thoughts, words, deeds, and actions at all times. * (1)<\/p>\n<p>As written:<\/p>\n<p>The Day of the Lord<\/p>\n<p>10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?<\/p>\n<p>2 Peter 3:10-12 <\/p>\n<p>Finally, always give all praise, honor, and Glory to God our CREATOR and DELIVERER!<\/p>\n<p>As written:<\/p>\n<p>Glory to God<\/p>\n<p>24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,<br \/>\nAnd to present you faultless<br \/>\nBefore the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,<br \/>\n25 To God our Savior,<br \/>\nWho alone is wise,<br \/>\nBe glory and majesty,<br \/>\nDominion and power,<br \/>\nBoth now and forever.<br \/>\nAmen.<\/p>\n<p>Jude 1:24-25 <\/p>\n<p>And AMEN forever!<\/p>\n<p>End of Message\t<\/p>\n<p>* (1) 1 Corinthians 2:11 \u2022 Proverbs 21:2 \u2022 Proverbs 16:2 \u2022 Psalm 139:2 \u2022 Psalm 94:11 \u2022 1 John 3:20 \u2022 Matthew 9:4 \u2022 Jeremiah 17:10 <\/p>\n<p>Thusly says the Almighty Lord God, as spoken, then written \u2026 this day, date, and time of \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 Sunday, the 4th of February 2024 at 6:55 PM &#8211;
