Well, tonight was the showing of revelations for the third installment of that mini-series, and I am sorry to say, I dropped the ball. I was at Bible study,and it ran a little long,and I just missed it.It just wasn't that high on my priority list. Bible study was more important. The subject was highly of moment to me because I am always coming in contact with young people who need direction, and for the most part, are not getting it anywhere else. I have been experiencing some opposition of late, and had been wondering why. Tonight's bible study was being led by a preacher who councils youngsters in the most dangerous situations imaginable.Those that have been abused, and/or raised in homes where they practiced witchcraft, otherwise known as worshiping Satan. This man stated emphatically, and I believe him, that when you begin to make inroads in depopulating the powers of darkness, you are going to have opposition.He has had visitations from an evil figure, that told him he was going to kill him.When he woke up from this dream or vision, he was sitting on the side of his bed, and he began to pray, and suddenly, he felt Jesus hand in his. He was reassured that the Lord wasn't going to let go of him,and that calmed all his fears and anxiety. So, you can see, I had every reason to listen intently to what this man had to say.It was infinitely more important than some fictionalized made for t.v. movie, which sheds no light on the actual book of Revelations, and brings one no closer to the Lord.
In reading this over, I see that I come off as being a little stuffy, or supercilious,but believe me, I don't mean it that way. In fact, I feel I have been chastened by the Lord for continueing to follow something, namely the show on NBC, that I knew to be error. Knowing this, I still had planned to watch this week's episode. I really feel sheepish about it, and yet, at the same time, I am very happy, too. Because the Lord chastizes those he loves.
Oui?
