The Spirit expressly says

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His Spirit who is here to guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come (John 16v13). For His Spirit who leads the sons of God (Romans 8v14). For His Spirit who dwells with us and in us (John 14v17). The Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 4v1 that:

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith…” 1 Timothy 4v1 (NIV)

“BUT THE [Holy] Spirit distinctly and expressly declares that in latter times some will turn away from the faith,…” 1 Timothy 4v1 (AMP)

“The Spirit makes it clear that as time goes on, some are going to give up on the faith…” 1 Timothy 4v1 (The Message)

“Now the Holy Spirit clearly says that in the later times some people will stop believing the faith….” 1 Timothy 4v1 (NCV)

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,…” 1 Timothy 4v1 (KJV)


Now, the Holy Spirit is God and He is with us now, and He has spoken clearly on this issue. In the later days, some will depart from the faith. There may be many reasons why people will do this. Some may become offended at the Word because of trials, and tribulations; others may have the Word choked because of the deceitfulness of riches, the cares of this world…. as we see in the parable of the Sower (Matthew 13). But, beloved, let us not be like those who give up on the faith. What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world, but lose his soul? (Matthew 16v26; Mark 8v36) Keep the faith. Grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3v18). The just shall live by faith, but if any man draws back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him, says the Lord (Hebrews 10v38). And He is able to keep you from falling (Jude 1v24), the question is if you are willing to stay with Him. You have tasted, and you have seen that God is good. Don’t draw back now. It's not worth it.

Have a very wonderful day.


P.S: Please let us remember those countries - Haiti, Chile, China - who have had earthquakes in recent past and ask for God's mercy and comfort for their countries and friend's and loved ones who have suffered loss more closely
