“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money…And from such people turn away!
For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of GULLIBLE WOMEN LOADED DOWN WITH SINS, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but THEY WILL PROGRESS NO FURTHER FOR THEIR FOLLY WILL BE MANIFEST TO ALL as theirs also was” (2Tim 3:1-9)

As we see in the scriptures above, there is a peculiar danger coming against the women in the church. In the Bible, the man is the symbol of Christ and the woman is a symbol of the church. In other words, there is an attack coming from the evil spirit of religion upon the living churches!
These religious hypocrites are also cowards. Their victims of choice are the weak willed, doubting, religious women in the church. These are described as silly, foolish or gullible. The attack is also against the homes, for if the mothers are deceived, the children will also fall. That is the plan of the devil: The spiritual decline of the next generation!
We are told that these agents of the devil come ‘creeping’ into the homes. This word means to move slowly, close to the ground, on hands and knees, trying to escape notice. In Greek the word means to dress up, to wrap around with clothes. It is the picture of creeping plants around a tree. These people embrace you with open arms of fake love, which soon become the steel chains of bondage. Their friendship will weaken your spirit, your prayer life, your commitment to the way of the Cross and holiness. The proof that the relationship is demonic is this: If you try to break the relationship you shall experience fear of loneliness and unnecessary guilt.
‘I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God shall escape her but the sinner she will ensnare’ (Ecc 7:26)
These religious agents are trained in spiritual ‘creeping’. They look humble, timid, quiet, but they are extremely persistent and stubborn in evil doing. These are skillful, silent thieves. They come to steal your peace and joy or to damage your faith. They come to settle in your house as friends or prayer partners. They are smart enough to avoid confrontation at the beginning of the relationship. They look nice and spiritual. But their primary assignment is to establish a foothold for the devil to monitor and weaken your spiritual life. If you suspect them of evil they are ready to apologize, but after the apology, they still do not retreat their steps.
Lesson: Be careful with anyone who apologizes without producing fruits of true repentance for all to see!

‘From such turn away’ -we are commanded! ‘Turn away’ in Greek means to deflect, to avoid danger. It is like driving a car. You go on a straight path, but you do not sleep at the wheel. You are watchful to see any danger coming from the opposite direction. You are aware that on the same road there are drunk drivers or suicidal crazy people. You should not be ignorant of their plan to kill themselves, dragging you along in their destruction. Defensive driving is prudent driving. You have to be ready to quickly avoid a head on collision with these mad people.
Maturity means to be balanced in all things, strong when you need to be strong and flexible when you need to be flexible. This prudence proves your holy identity. ‘A prudent wife is from the Lord’ (PV 19:14)

Dear daughter, Come to the Cross! ‘There is room at the Cross for you…’ Come to Jesus! He alone is the Truth!
Truth is a Person. Truth is not a crowd. Truth is Jesus Christ. Truth is scarce. There are many liars but very few faithful and honest people in this world. Be such a one! Always fellowship with the Truth, no matter how painful it is, for the result is fruitfulness, freedom and glory. If you live by the truth you will never be lonely, for Truth is a Person. ‘Speak the truth in love…’ and lies can never kidnap your soul!
Dear Daughter, This attack is wicked and cowardly. But do not draw back! Be blind to what the devil shows to you! Open your eyes and see this season with the eyes of Christ! There is no need to weep! There is no need to fear! Strengthen yourself in the Lord! All the preparation in the past, all the fasting and prayers, all the prophetic utterances…these point to Jesus, your Lord! This is the time to stand for Jesus! We are not alone! Are you not seeing it? This is our moment to shine for Jesus! There is an open door of faith and ministry for the women of God at this very hour! May your eyes see the Cross and the glory that follow! Your reward shall be a greater anointing in ministry, spiritual maturity, the blessing of marriage and the heritage of godly children.
I plead the Blood of Jesus over your body, soul, spirit, marriage, work, ministry and children! I trust the speaking ‘of better things’, the preaching and pleading of the Blood of Jesus over you!
Even right now, I rejoice! The victory is ours,
In Jesus name,
Amen!
