The Deeper Walk
Such intense training in the ways of The Spirit has not been in vain.
It would be a true waste of thought to feel like you’ve been through all of this for nothing. Perhaps we need to re-establish some truths.
Satan is a liar; the father of lies. It is a fact that he and all his evil hosts, and those human spirits who want to help them, have launched a counter offensive.
They are so desperate to stop what God intends to do in this final hour. Being determined to stop what God is going to do in this hour. Being so smug and over sure of ones self, always results in failure. Always.
One of the greatest deceptions the enemy is using today, is to convince good people that it’s all over.
Darkness has already taken over the whole world and the prince of darkness rules in total control. With so much oppression and outright hatred coming against those who love God, you might sometimes think you are sinking.
The latest ploy is to convince you that there are no other good people left; that wickedness has completely taken over.
If that fallen spirit can put into our heads that every other good soul has given up and we won’t make it much longer, he will. It’s not real!
I met someone recently who said something that I will remember the rest of my life. We were talking about all of the insanity and wickedness going on in the world right now and how dark it often looked.
I asked, don’t you think it’s getting worse and maybe these dark ones and their helpers will take it all down. She said, it’s not going to happen.
In short, this person placed her two hands side by side and said that light and darkness are always pulling against one another.
Then I heard her say this, “The light always wins!”
No matter how dark it gets, if you light a candle, the light always overcomes the darkness. No matter what. That changed me today.
So many of us are searching for answers today in this awful mess we have seen enter. It’s true, as it was written, that because iniquity abounds, the love of many has waxed cold.
I like that word waxed just now. It’s like so many people who were once loving or at least a bit interested, cannot be moved.
There’s something covering their entire spirit and you’re not able to penetrate it. It’s as though any common sense and ability to think for themselves has evaporated.
I’ve come back to something I learned way back. It’s all really much more simple than we remember. It’s something about our first love.
I have to be honest. I don’t know when this bombardment upon our spirits will lessen or get a lot easier.
I’m getting better with it. I am fighting with everything I have. It’s a shame a person has to wait until they are past being a senior citizen, to begin learning to truly trust God and let Him take it in His hands.
May I share this. In a real vision of your own, see yourself actually taking it in your hands and placing it in His.
See Him take it. Ask Him to keep it. Leave it there, and don’t take it back.
When you realize you’ve started to try and control it again, stop yourself, give it back and leave it this time. Ask Him for strength to trust Him. That’s alright!
Jesus said, “I AM the Light.” Doesn’t it make sense, that the more of Jesus we have, the more Light we have?
We know this. So many of us have been absolutely distracted from the simple truths we knew from the time we were children.
The Light, is not afraid of darkness. How could it be, that I am full of gifts from His Spirit, Called and truly Positioned in what He meant for me all along, and I fear so much?
If there ever was a time I recall something, it’s now. “Fear, hath torment.” That’s what darkness does to people. It torments.
Many of us wanted the deeper walk. Well, we got it. And everything else that goes with it.
Those who oppose, those who scoff and yes, those who envy beyond sanity, will fail; they cannot win.
Let us back up and try to keep it a little more simple. We have The Light. It is the only thing that works.
Our purpose was already ordained . If you’ve sought these things, you’ve likely grown much more than you thought you did.
You’re not the same person; you couldn’t be.
Remember, what He started, He will finish; now, sooner than you think.
True Spirituality will be clearly seen against that which is not.

Amen! Robert, these are such absolute Words I wish all of God’s children would read and take to heart! Thank you. God bless you.
Dear brother Robert
This is so special…. When I read that verse “The love of many has waxed cold” I thought, now I will take time to search the translation of that one word. I stopped reading, google searched the word, and then… continued reading your article. The next sentence from you was exactly about that one word ;-)
You may not know what treasure in your article spoke a little louder to me, and I want to keep that in my heart for now. Please, stay so normal, and dare to be furthermore just as you are. Love, M.
