In the past two decades, there has been a great increase in lawlessness. Many have openly embraced sin and sinful lifestyles; others giving credence to sinful behavior…Much of it has to do with the parable of the wheat and tares (tares are identified only by their fruit) being fulfilled in our times and also the fulfillment of the great falling away predicted in Thessalonians. Jesus said that you shall know them by their fruit. If the fruit in someone’s life is not Holiness, Love and Righteousness and to the contrary then regardless of how gifted or how great their influence is, they are on the wrong track or they are apostate.
In recent times, the sinful lifestyles of several have come to the light. Look (pray) for and give time for genuine repentance in those that have fallen before coming to a conclusion on their final state. On the other hand, I felt the Lord clearly impress that all of this God’s great mercy towards many and one of his last chances that we should avoid Matthew 7:21 to 23 from happening to us. The important question that we need to ask ourselves personally and use it as a criterion for discernment this hour is ” am I or others growing in love and Holiness”. Make no mistake brethren and do not be deceived for without Holiness, no man shall see the Lord!
