The Bible declares that in the last days perilous times shall come (2 Tim 3:1). The Spirit speaks that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing Spirits, and doctrines of devils (1Tim 4:1). These times will come not because God ushers them in but because people’s evil ways have resisted the ways and truth of God, as did the serpent in (Gen 3:4-5). And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold (Mat 24:12).

And so today the earth is filled with the ways of people walking after their own lusts, instead of the ways of God. It is like making a choice to be sick instead of choosing to be in good health. Therefore, evil will come because people embrace it rather than resist it. James 4:7 says, “resist the devil and he shall flee.” If evil is resisted constantly and persistently with the Word, truth and righteousness of God, it will be diminished and a time of peace, love and right standing with God will come, in Jesus’ name.

I pray, in the name of Jesus, for all God’s servants to stand and resist the devil that he will be eschewed, and that we will walk Holy before God. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
