![]() ![]() Then to their horror, they suddenly realized they were not able to withstand the strength of the current and they plunged over the falls to their deaths. They probably were talking, laughing and having a good time. They didn’t intend to go over the falls, but they had drifted farther and faster than they realized. They evidently underestimated the danger of those rushing waters, and thought they would be all right they’d just go out and enjoy the water. Some years ago, two men were boating on the river flowing to Niagara Falls. If you go too far, you’ll never get back to the safety of God. You see no light to show you the way back. You may feel secure in your little boat but when you drift out of sight of God’s lighthouse, you’re in grave danger. ![]() ![]() The spirit of Antichrist is being revealed in unbelievable ways his power has become so strong that unless you are a praying Christian, unless you are a devout Bible Christian, you’re drifting. Something happened in the late sixties and since then we have seen a takeover by the devil in America, a takeover that has swept across the whole world. People might tell you that things are the same they are not the same. The Spirit of Antichrist Is Taking Overĭaily, world conditions are changing, not for the better but for the worse. When you see these things, know that His coming is nigh, even at the door. In our day we see the two great signs of the second coming of Jesus: the gathering back of the Jews to Israel, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, Now learn a parable of the fig tree When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors (Matthew 24:32,33). Many Christians have drifted into lukewarmness in this final hour, disregarding the endtime signs all around them, the things coming upon the Earth. In this last and final hour you must keep both your hands in His. There’s much to be done, and much He’s offering you. How terrible for people to lose their place in God, to fail to use their faith, to fail in their prayer life!ĭaily spend time with God in prayer. The current takes control of people unaware, and floats them away from the will of God. That’s the way drifting is, spiritually speaking. You could drift several miles in no time, the ride is so smooth, so gentle. Have you ever been in a boat, enjoying the water and then suddenly realized you had been drifting? You may have drifted a mile without being aware that you had gone anywhere. That old lukewarm spirit of indifference is seducing, seducing, seducing and it’s easy to drift away from your dedication to the Lord. He knows that if he can destroy the plan of God, untold multitudes will die and go to hell. The devil is hard after God’s true people. Many different winds of doctrine are blowing into the houses of God today, ill winds and not the wind of the Holy Spirit. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines (Hebrews 13:9). Know the truth of the Word of God and steadfastly hold to it. It’s important, because drifting is one of the easiest things in the world to do.Henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14). ![]() You will drift unless you decide not to drift. The winds of worldliness, the tides of circumstance, and the currents of the old nature are determined to cause you to drift. The worst thing that could happen to us this year is that we just drift through it-live an aimless life-letting this year “happen” to us rather than charting a course and getting into God's appointed harbor. You have to be careful when you enter the harbor that you don't end up on the rocks or drift past the harbor. "Let them slip" literally means drift away. The most skillful part of being a sea pilot is bringing the ship into the harbor. A ship never just drifts into the harbor. He must have spent time at sea, because the phrase “giving more earnest heed” and the word “slip” refer to bringing a ship into the harbor, a difficult and sometimes dangerous task. Scholars tell us Hebrews 2:1 refers to the sea-the writer is using a nautical term. We’ll meet ships we never knew were on that ocean and we'll have all kinds of opportunities, heartaches, tears and fears as we sail into a new year on an uncharted sea. Life is like an ocean…a trackless ocean with winds, currents and waves. “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.” - Hebrews 2:1 ![]()
