‭Romans 1:18-32 KJV‬

[18] For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; [19] because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. [20] For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21] because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. [22] Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [23] And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. [24] Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25] who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; [29] being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, [30] backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31] without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: [32] who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Let the Word of GOD then guide you, or have Paul now become a false teacher in our eyes to permit us wickedness? This here, as Paul described the world then, and somehow the progressive people of our time would think it conservative. How much more has the world today been given over to a reprobate mind? And if GOD then gave over man to follow after his wicked desires, should my first action not be to check myself? How do I clean white linen, if I myself are full of mud?

Friends, do you now see that the world is in trouble? Just yesterday I heard and saw, with a personal confirmation from a friend, about a tornado in my own country of South Africa. That is something I can't remember ever happening before. Day-by-day, I am watching the happenings around the World, and each day brings more and more. And, besides those affected immediately by any catastrophe, it seems like it is business as usual for the rest. I see the world come under threat, but who repents of their sin before the living GOD Almighty. I recall the account of what GOD did in Egypt to set His people free, and I see similarities all around, now, at this time. And according to a comparison, I wonder, who is Egyptian then and who is Israel? I see accounts of hailstones the size of a man's hands being reported. I wonder, who will repent and whose hearts are so hardened that they will be unable to escape the coming judgment of this world? I recognize the pleading of the Lord. I see people being disrupted and destroyed, building their houses back up in the footprint of where the previous one was destroyed. What prayers are prayed, when they are reimbursed by their insurance? And I think to myself, in all things, where is my trust stored up in? Do you think the Egyptians, back then, would acknowledge that it was GOD that was coming against them? Or, did their wise men convince them that it was all of nature alone? Did they do as we do, and give man credit for the weather? What must GOD then do, to get our attention?

Friends, I do not have to be a prophet to see what is happening, and viewed through the lense of prophecy, the believer today should be on high alert. Yes, we should look up, for our redemption draws near. Nearer now, than ever before. Will we heed GOD'S warning? Will we finally be vigilant enough to bow our knees to GOD, Repent of our sin and return to His order? Here, read in this highlighted section the trades of those who stand in a reprobate mind, check then, do we qualify for a correction, even a judgment of the LORD?

My question then: How many excuses and justifications can mankind still serve up? Sadly, I must admit, there will be more. And according to the foretelling in the Word of GOD, man will even reach the point of cursing God Himself. I have no such interest, do you? Neither will I give man or any other thing the glory of the power to shake heaven and earth. See it then for what it is. Read the Word of GOD and recognize the pleading of GOD with man to repent. What came each time before destruction? No, here we must look to the book of Jonah and repent as Neneveh repented then. Will man continue to stand in his Pride? Will the courts and government be swayed by mass demonstrations? Don't you know that this world hails those who stand in rebellion as heroes? I see those in the world respond in all kinds of manners, that I have read in the Word of GOD to be things that GOD hates. Why then, shall I stand with them?

No! I will bow my knee to GOD. I will call upon the Name of GOD'S Son. As a child I would know even just in a stare of my parents, whether I was in trouble of correction. No, I will repent, I will return to GOD'S standard as best I can, and plead for mercy in the Name of Jesus Christ. I will check this list in the text today, and make it as a checklist and purge evil from my own self. And yes! I will warn those I love, so in the love of Jesus Christ, open your eyes and see the Truth. Repent now, or prepare to see the wrath of GOD, and not His Mercy and Grace, which is still available to us now.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Father, I am like the sinner on the cross beside Jesus. Have mercy on me, think of me and show me compassion. For I cannot save myself, I have judged myself and found myself guilty in Thy sight. Nothing but the Blood of Jesus Christ can save me. Reveal to me, LORD, all that is needed for me to know and do. Give the Words that I should carry in me for the message of the Salvation of mankind. LORD, give me oil for my lamp, that it might shine brightly, even as a beacon in the night. Your Kingdom come, LORD; Your will be done, on earth as it is Heaven. For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory, forever and ever.

Amen.

Shalom friends, may the Judge hear your prayers.

[11] Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
