"Conversations" IS THE VAX THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

"Karen " Hello
Chris, Right now, two opposite pitfall responses to evil’s multiplicity beset us. The first is one of denial, both naturally and prophetically, by those married to the idea of God’s preserving and “restoring” our good life culture here below as the essence of His “kingdom.” We just want to get back to life and business as usual, do ministry, enjoy life, and read only the parts of the Bible we have already underlined. But this is a sure road to spiritual disaster through unpreparedness. The other pitfall is to become prophetically engrossed in evil’s knowledge as it both multiplies and is further illumined of the Spirit for its true significance. Numerous saints are seduced by their own penchant for spiritual knowledge into devoting their hearts to uncovering the knowledge of the deep things of satan (Rev. 2:24). This too is fatal and ruins one’s true path to glory, falling way short of God’s purpose for our perception of it. Such feeding leads to depression, paranoia, fear mongering and life under a constant cloud of suspicion outside our “first love” knowledge of Christ. This is so well said. Years ago, I had to back away from the constant deluge, and even obsession, with informative material from Christian authors on the 'deep things of Satan' and the people and orgs being used as vessels for such things. Precisely because the depression, paranoia, fear mongering and suspicion strongly dominated any 'good' info coming from these people/news sites or email lists. Having said that, I DO want to extract the good and the truth..it is just hard for me to do that while being repulsed by the depression, paranoia, fear mongering etc. A battle exists inside of me to feel a witness from God on what is exact truth. I have to really be persistent with Him so that I hear Him for myself, apart from all the 'noise'...not always easy. So...back to the vaccines. I definitely understand all the warnings. But I do think there are some untruths mixed in with truths on this topic. There is a woman minister that I have followed for a long time now. I have always benefited from her material. She has taken a very strong stance in saying that if any believer receives the vaccine, they will lose salvation...period. That what they have received spiritually from God will be taken away. In the sense that it is the mark of the beast, I think. I have heard others say no, not yet. Bottom line for me, and very simply put, is that I feel the very work God is doing in me, and others in the Body of Christ who are submissive to His work, is to mature us and truly align our hearts and minds with Christ in such a way that we are His image and are prepared to carry His glory. Where we are in Him..our hearts and minds...matters to Him above all else. One could argue that if we had the mind of Christ, we would know not to get vaccinated. But I don't know anyone who hits the mark every single time. There are some friends and family of mind who have yielded to this maturing work of the Lord for many years. They have gone through such beautiful changes and have a similar discernment to what God has given me after calling me out of the world and the church that is in the world. And yet they have chosen to be vaccinated. I don't think they have read all the alternative info on the vaccines that is out there. And even if they have had suspicions and concerns, they still went on to be vaccinated. I can understand the destructive physical aspects of the vaccine and the evil behind it but I just am having an adverse reaction to someone saying that what God has given us, by grace, will be taken away. I find it hard to believe that we will not ALL know that we will be choosing, or not choosing, the mark of the beast when the times come. These friends and family of mine have not considered that. Some might argue that their heart and mind is not where it should be in Christ.I would beg to differ. Not that they are there yet, but they are are a beautiful work in progress. I cannot get on board with the extremity of the claims on the spiritual consequences of the vaccine. But I want your honest feelings if you don't mind. Perhaps there is something inside of me that is blind or unwilling to accept truth. Appreciate your time Chris. Thanks so much. Karen
