So we can safely say that if anyone is rebelling against God, the devil is involved. They are under his power and influence. And if anyones sins - including a believer - the devil is involved. He tempts people to sin and deceives people into sinning.[/QUOTE]
James 4:v.7-8&4
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the ENEMY of God.
Luke 16:v.18 - 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Tim.4:v.1-2
1 Now the Spirit speaketh EXPRESSLY, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Matthew 24:12-13
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Revelation 2:v.25-29
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches.
Matthew 25: 6to12
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their *lamps. (The lamp is the Word of God)
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your *oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
As we can all see, who went to buy oil and who was selling oil out of time, yes, out of time, they lost their souls forever.
How to understand that God's clock is pointing to midnight? Have you ever meditated on this? For men, midnight is the end of a 24-hour day, and the beginning of a new day. Now, for the Most High God is the same, the difference is that a Day to the Lord is like 1000 years and 1000 years as a Day. Taking the Christian Calendar as a parameter, we can say that in the year 2000 God's clock was marking exactly midnight.
We are already living the 2.018 year of the Christian Calendar, so the clock of God is for something beyond midnight. The husband comes, by the way the midnight cry is ringing. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit hath shewed unto the churches. You are warning.
