False Doctrine
False doctrine in the church places happiness above Jesus. Plowing through Jesus' warnings with fake plastic "joy" isn't faith... It's presumption. Presuming Jesus's warnings are for someone else disqualifiies you from their working. If you disqualify yourself for the warnings, you also disqualify yourself from the promises the warnings were written to lead you to.
Joy is the innate sense of well being in the reality the warnings are describing. Meeting the warnings eyes wide open is what brings joy when it is actually needed. That is what seals a man or woman to escape the trouble the warnings are pointing to.
http://bible.com/114/mat.24.7-14.nkjv For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
http://bible.com/114/ezk.9.1-6.nkjv Then He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, “Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with a deadly weapon in his hand.” And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar. Now the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side; and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
http://bible.com/114/rev.7.1-3.nkjv After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
Believe me when I say you are being marked even now...heaven is watching your response to the abominations unfolding.
