Do not be surprised and expect more, much more evil in this present time as the one world system gains more momentum.
The good news is, as God allows the collapse of the environment, economic, and social systems, more true Christians will be drawn to salvation in Christ.
Thus, more souls saved is God’s plan until ALL of His are fully in His grace and love. Heaven is getting closer as the world gets farther from God.
1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Wanting to live more in obedience to the Lord, first focus on His glory. By seeing our depravity, we pray for humility in ourselves.
Proverbs 19:16 Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Psalm 111:1-10 Praise the Lord!
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
The works of the Lord are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
His work is honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.
He has declared to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the heritage of the nations.
The works of His hands are verity and justice;
All His precepts are sure.
They stand fast forever and ever,
And are done in truth and uprightness.
He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
Holy and awesome is His name.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.

2 Corinthians 13: 5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
A person without Jesus is like having glass to see through and to see just their reflection.
With Jesus, all that is seen is in hope as the works of God unfold daily.
Even when life is broken and shattered Christ alone is there mending through the trial in faith.
God’s grace will give new shape, new life in His eternal heavenly love through faith in Jesus.
Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
