“The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD.” Genesis 18:22.

If we do not get God’s perspective on things right now, we are going to be deceived by what is obvious! Listen to your Spirit and not those in the media who are truly only listening to the multitudes!

When your Spirit is grieved as Paul was when the woman with the spirit of divination came and flattered the men of God, Paul being grieved turned about and told that spirit to come out of her!

Abraham saved his seed, standing on the truth

There is a remnant arising out of this muck and mire with God’s heart and His mind, which is His word! Lot “vexed His soul daily” with the wicked of the world the word says, but He had an uncle named Abraham who had God’s perspective and God’s heart.

He thought like God in a time when all that was evil was the acceptable practice! He “stood before God” reminding Him of His word and and promises! He had negotiated the release of His family from Sodom and Gomorrah.

His “Believing” saved His family from being doomed with the rest of the City! He came and stood before God and God released His angels on Abraham’s behalf!

Don’t be deceived by what is behind you!

He had a covenant and He knew God’s truth was the only truth! His prayer was effectual and fervent because He believed that the word of God was the only truth no matter what that society was saying! So, therefore, these mighty angels of God came and led His nephew Lot and His family out. He would of Led Lot’s wife out also but she chose to look back and long for that wretched way of life, and so she became a pillar of salt, (useless to society!).

Looking for My Abrahams

God is looking for those like Abraham right now, who will stand before Him and not be moved off of the truth! He is asking many of us right now, “Will you be one that stands before me? Will you be one that believes My word above the multitude, who are in the midst of the mire of society?

A remnant arising from the muck and mire

“It is time for My remnant to arise out of the love for this world and it’s applause and pick up their cross and follow Me, and then I will send forth My angels on your behalf!
