Hello everybody welcome to join me for today, Wednesday November 11th 2020 devotion on 2 Thessalonians2:1-12. Let's pray, dear Heavenly Father we praise you and we love You. Lord please calm our hearts so we can have peace in Your Love. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen!
2 Thessalonians2:1-12 1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
This is Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians which he tried to clarify information about Lord Jesus's second coming and the related signs. There are only three possibilities for Jesus's second coming: you missed it, are in the midst of it, or it has not happen yet.
We should be prepared and be alert at all times and listen to Him only.Satan and evil know about God, His word and His power thoroughly. How Satan tempted Jesus and the serpent tempted Eve, you will likewise be tempted.
Think about how and why addiction to drugs, alcohol, porn, gambling and more are so wide-spread. There are lies about how it will bring healing, how you will forget about the pain or hurt. All you need to do is just try this one time.
Let's pray, dear Heavenly Father we praise you and we love You. Lord please help us to redirect and refocus on You in every circumstance we might face and in every decision we need to make. Fix our eyes on You no matter what. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen!
