“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; speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”
1 Timothy 4:1&2

The Spirit of God spoke very clearly about the times we are living in. In 2 Timothy 3:1 he called it perilous times, which means “fierce times”; “hard times”. I can testify from experience, that these have been the most difficult times of my ministry. And I believe it is because people have become hardened to the Gospel. They don’t have the fear of the Lord as was in the days of old.
Paul wrote: They speak lies in hypocrisy and their conscience is seared with a hot iron. That’s very strong language He is using, that describes how bad it really is. Sad to say, but most people are living in a false security.
What we need in order to defeat these seducing Spirits is a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit: And that will only come when the church, God’s people, pray with fervent prayer unto the Lord, and seek Him with their whole heart. God has not changed; He will move in power and glory if only the church would wake up.
