Faith, trust, and to believe all ome from the same word grouping in the Greek language They are all very important 2s we approach the end times, Lets begin our study in If Timothy. lL Timothy 9:1 This know also, that in the last days ponlous times. shall come. Dont get all shook up when things aren't going well Giod told us there would be perilous times. The perilous times are just beginning, but God is on the tone, Timot For men shall be lovers of tholr_own Sones coreteus, boasts proud, blasphemers,ssabe- ‘ent to" parents, unthenkful. unholy, Many like to think they are holy. They go to church every Sunday. But it is hard to find « church that teaches God's Word Chapter by Chapter and verse by verse. 4 Zimaliy 2:3 Without natural fection. trucebreakers falbe accusers, incontinent, fece, despisers of thoze that ‘are good. + Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of plea- sures more than lovers of God: Many seem to be quite content leaving God out of their lives. Things are going to get bad, Do we need to worry about anything? No! God is in control. Tle has @ plan, and things will happen just as they are written, UTimathy 9:5 Heying a form of godliness, but denying the power thereot’ from such tum away. Stay away from those that are playing church. God!'s Word has power. To deny that power is foolish. You can jim God's. power by. worshipping. and trusting Him.

The word "perfect" means mature | Timothy 44 | charge thee therefore before God, and tra tant Yasis Chist Who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His’ kingdom; He will judge the spiritually living and spiritually dead. Those who have worshipped antichrist will be in sad shape. He is expecting a virgin bride. If you have been in bed with Satan, you won't be fit to be His bride, 1 Tet 4:2 Prosch ne, word, be instant i eason, out ‘season roprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering‘and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not ‘@ndure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap fo themselves teachers having itching ears; + And they, shall tum away their ears trom the truth, and shall bo tumed unto’ fables. Itching ears means they don't hear God's Word Tne ‘stead! of Teaching God's Word they teach fairy tales. Docs Eve taking a bite of an apple come to mind? God's Word is true, Tum with me to the Book of Mark 10 multitude answered and said, And one of ‘NtStEr 7 nave ‘brought unto. Thee my" son, which hath ‘a dumb spint, 12 And wheresoever- he taketh him, ho foareth him: and he foameth, and yriasheth with his. teeth, and’ pincth away: and I epake to Thy ascples tat they should cast him out; and they could not. ‘The man's son was possessed with an evil spirit. The disciples of Christ weren't able to cast the spirit out. We know from another Scripmure they were dealing with a lunatic. Lunar is always of Satan’ and his followers 19 He answereth him. and saith, °O faithioss generation, how long shal | be wilh you? how long shall ‘suffer you? bring’ hum unto Mo.” Not even Chris's disciples had the faith and trust required to cast out this ev Veatn fiom this event. Make certain you aren't running low on faith and trust. :20 And they brought him unto Him: and wnen ne saw Flim, straightway the spiit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. The evil spirit recognized that Jesus had power over him. Evil spirits recognize that you have power over them in the name of Jesus Christ, a3 well (Luke 10:17-18). Mork 9;21 And He geked ve tamer, “ow Jong ist ago is came unto him?" And he said, "Of @ child. 22 ‘And ofimes, it hath cast him into the fire, ‘and info. the waters, to destroy him: but if Thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us." Do you hear any doubt in the father's words? When you ask Christ for something, don't say, “If You can." Jesus Christ is able. Ask with faith and trust. Ask for things in His will. All things are possible with Him Jesus said unto him, "If thou canst believe, are 10 him that believeth. This word “believeth” is from the group of Greek words we are studying in this lecture. If you trust in Jesus Christ, all things are possible, 24 And straightway the father of the child cried Mar AP Salt wih tars, “Lor, |'Bolove: Nop Thou miro tunboliet.” a5 When Jesus sew that the ‘Game running wer, He rebuked the foul spit, saying unto him, fou ‘dumb and deat spirit, 1 charge thee, come out of ‘him, and’ enter no more into. him. Satan hasn't a chance. Jesus has power over him, and you have power over him in the name of Jesus Christ. :28 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, ang ‘came out of him: and he was as one dead: insomuch that many #aid, "Ho's desc.” zz But Jesus took him by the hand, and’ lited him up: and he arose. Unbelief and distrust can get you in a heap of rouble in a hurry. Especially, considering Satan himself will be the fone we are dealing with as the antichrist. Don't ever forget how to protect yourself and your family. You protect your family from Satan by oering ll evil away mm them in the name of Jesus Christ, Ho is able, if you trust in Him. ‘Turn with me to the Book of Psalms, Im_91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret ROSTHAGA Sher abo undor th’ chadow of ‘The Holy Spirit is your connection with God.
