The Theft of Hope

The enemy comes to kill steal and destroy:

John 10:10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

One of the things the enemy has wisely targeted for theft in this world is people's hope. Why is it a wise target for the enemy? When you take a person's hope, you have taken everything.....I've read books about survivors of concentration camps who tell us that very shortly after prisoners gave up hope, they died, without fail.

Look at the world around us today. We hear and see a steady stream of bad news, with no hope of anything positive on the horizon. Steal hope, kill and destroy the people. That's the plan and it is working.

Speaking of hope, I want to tell you today of a spectacular confirmation the Lord gave me recently. Words fail to describe fully what I experienced but it was something like have a 40 billion watt searchlight focused on your spirit, having your insides radiated, lit up, brightened. It was like having a 4th of July fireworks display go off inside of you. I hope you get the idea. What did the Lord confirm to me, and in me?

The Blessed Hope IS the pre-tribulation rapture/escape from all of the church...in neon flashing lights.

Some people might say "duh" we've known that for a long time pal, welcome to the party. To that I'd say, yes, we have known that, but satanic agents like the pre-wrath, post-trib teachers and preachers and others have been hard at work attempting, to KILL, STEAL, and DESTROY that hope.

How would you feel today if you knew for a FACT that the Lord was coming back for us soon, BEFORE the tribulation/7 year time of Jacob's trouble started? You'd be quite encouraged wouldn't you? Hope does that. Our Lord wrote to us with many promises. He has encouraged us with many promises. One of those promises is called the blessed hope...

Titus 2:13 while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing
of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,

I'm going to make a simple statement right now that will help you alot. Make up your mind about the rapture question NOW, then stop rehashing it. Stop surfing all the sites and reading all the material that only serves to kill steal and destroy your hope. If you have decided that you believe that there will be a pre-tribulation rapture of the church then become SINGLE MINDED about it, STOP waffling:

James 1:8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

It has been proven here time and time again that the pre-wrath and post-trib teachers have NOTHING of value to offer you that you don't already have as a pre-trib believer. If Jesus shows up soon, they will likely have MAJOR problems. Re-read the parable of the virgins in Matt 25. As you believe, so you receive, and the pre-wrath, post-trib crowd have been arguing for years to anyone who will listen that we all need a good heaping dose of tribulation before we see heaven.

I am inclined to believe that those who have argued so strenuously that everyone needs to go through the tribulation, that they themselves will get a heaping plate full of it..as they believe, so they receive:

Matthew 8:13 ... And at that ... And Jesus said unto the centurion,Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.

Do not let the satanic pre-wrath and post-trib message to steal another ounce of hope from you. Let them snicker, let them sneer and scoff. Scoffers were promised, and we see them all around us today don't we?

2 Peter 3:3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.

When you find out how much Satan has stolen from you, and how much he still plans to steal from you, you will be steaming mad. I know I am. Aren't you sick and tired of being lied to, stolen from, and deceived?

Make up your mind, then committ yourself to what you believe. If, and its a big if, the pre-trib position was wrong, we have NOTHING to lose. We are watching and waiting for the Lord's return WHENEVER it happens, today, tomorrow, mid-trib, post-trib, it doesn't matter, we wait every day for the Lord to knock on that "door in heaven" (Matt 25/Rev 4) so we can open it. I see no flaw whatsoever in taking that approach.

We are looking for Jesus Christ, the "other tribbers" are looking for the anti-christ. We are looking for our redemption, the "other tribbers" are looking for their tribulation.

Luke 21:28 ... But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift
up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh.

Notice it says "your redemption" NOT the tribulation draws nigh....

Stop allowing this world, Satan and his agents to steal your hope. The promises of our Lord are ROCK SOLID. I cannot remember a time in my life when the Lord has EVER confirmed within me a truth like He has over the past few days with the pre-tribulation rapture. It IS coming, just like He said it would.

Satan HATES the idea of anyone escaping his worldwide bloodbath. Satan HATES the idea of the pre-trib rapture. The time for debating is over. Focus, committ, persevere. My God has never ever EVER let me down. I believe that He has spoken to my spirit in a spectacular way, confirming what He has had written now for thousands of years.

Remember, nothing written here is anything new. The blessed hope is the pre-tribulation rapture of the church. Its an OLD idea that has been systematically downplayed, ridiculed, attacked and stolen from the minds and hearts of believers for years now. It's time to take it back...

grace and peace

He Makes a Way, Where There is No Way

The Lord has been depositing pieces of this post in me all day today, I hope I remember most of what He has told me.

The two things I have been impressed with, that will be covered in this post:

1. Our Lord makes a way where there is no way.

2. Be Ready.

Our Lord makes a way where there is no way.

Our God specializes in making a way, a path forward at times and in places where there seems to be no way. For example, the Red Sea was parted at just the right time for the Israelites to cross it and the Egyptians to die in it. At a time when nobody thought there was any way out, or any way through the situation, our God made a way.

Again, with Lazarus being raised from the dead, everyone except Jesus in that place thought "there's no way" and Jesus said there is a way. Lazarus rose from the dead. The water that changed to wine, the 4,000 fed where there was no way to get food for 4,000 (except the Lord's way) and the examples go on and on.

Please stop to ask yourself today, why all these examples were placed in the bible? Was it to entertain you? Was it to make for better reading? Was it to tell you how great other people can do things? No, no, and no. Everything that was written in the Word of God was written to you and for you. That book, that Word is our life, it is our owner's manual, it is our guidebook, and rulebook, and cousel. It is our life. So, again, why were all those miracles performed and how does it impact you?

John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

We were shown the miracles so we would believe and so we can believe and see better things in our own lives. Or have we forgotten "He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." Was Jesus kidding around with us? Was He not telling the truth? No, He said it because He meant it, question is, do we believe it?

Our God makes a way where there seems to be no way. Every promise our Lord has made to us in the Word, is ironclad FACT. The promises are made reality through faith and belief.

Hebrews 6:12

... Then, instead of being lazy, you will imitate those who are
inheriting the promises through faith and patience.

There are people today who are inheriting many of the promises that other people are not inheriting, because they believe, they have faith, and they are waiting patiently. I'm not the one who said we inherit the promises through faith and patience, our Lord said that. Which promises? ALL OF THEM. Sometimes the Lord answers slowly, sometimes He answers in the blink of an eye. How and when are the Lord's province when it comes to the answer to prayer. Our part is the "what" we are asking for and the faith and patience to wait for/"inherit" the answer.

2. Be Ready

Luke 12“Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. I tell you the truth, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night. 39But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

41Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”

42The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44I tell you the truth, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the menservants and maidservants and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

47“That servant who knows his master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

For years now, there have been many people who have predicted month after month, and year after year that something (pick an event) would happen that would be the end of life on earth, at least life as we know it. So far, they have all been wrong. There were people predicting economic collapse in September, they have been predicting war with Iran for years now, and the list goes on. They have been wrong every single time. Has the economy been bad? Yes. Is this the first time the world has seen a recession/depression? NO. The world has never seen a time like we are seeing today, but couldn't the same reasoning be used during WW2? The last depression? WW1? The civil war? The time of the Roman Empire? Each time, at that time, the events of the day had been traumatic and unseen up till that time.

The event that will change life as everyone knows it on this earth, will be the escape from all promised in Luke 21:36, Thessalonians, Rev 3-4 etc. This "escape" is also known as "the rapture." Call it whatever you want. What we call this event matters not, what matters is, its coming. When? I have no idea. My point here in writing this is the point made by our Lord in Luke 12. BE READY. Ok, but when? If we are told to be ready but we are not told when to be ready, does it not stand the reasoning test that it means we are to be ready ALWAYS? Yes, that makes perfect sense. We are to be ready for our Lord to show up ALWAYS so we can IMMEDIATELY (the Lord's Word not mine) open the door for Him. There's that "door" again that we read about in Matt 25 (parable of the virgins) and Rev 4 (the opening of the "door" in heaven.)

There are people in the world today who call themselves "christians" who teach you that there is no need to be ready for the Lord's return today. These are the "pre-wrath" and the "mid-trib" and "post-trib" preachers and teachers. For them, being ready for the Lord's return right now is utter non-sense. These people's doctrine basically say that the Lord is a liar. The Lord tells us to be ready today and every day, these "teachers" tell you that the Lord cannot come back until some future time, like the appearance of anti-christ, or the middle of the tribulation, or the signing of the "peace deal" with Israel, or a host of other times. With these false teachers and preachers, being ready now is nonsense.

The bible tells us to be dressed with readiness for the Lord's return EVERY DAY. That means NOW, today, not tomorrow or some other day in the future. Read the Bible for yourselves. What you believe about such things could mean the difference between life and death. It could mean the difference between suffering through the tribulation or being "in the ark" with the Lord (Luke 17, Matt 24).

The "pre-wrath/mid-trib/post-trib" crowd has been issued a warning:

Luke 12:47“That servant who knows his master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

These people KNOW the Master's will, yet they elevate their false doctrines over the Master's will. The Master told us specifically BE READY..NOW, and they blow that command off with a wave of their hand as if they had not been told. These people will be beaten with many blows.

This issue does not need debate. There is NO COMPELLING REASON not to be ready today and every day for the Lord's return. If you are ready EVERY DAY, then you will not be surprised and ashamed on "that day" when the Lord shows up so..... "be ready" ....every day. Be prepared to wait for years, but do not be surprised if our Lord comes to meet us tonight.

done for today, grace and peace.

Days of Grace/Days of Vengeance, The Restrainer, Pre-trib Rapture

The Lord has been giving me some real gems lately, I've been busy but need to find time to put up quick notes here more often.

Yesterday the Lord impressed upon me the reason we have not seen the world fall apart, even though it has appeared like it was imminent is because of the restrainer. Why hasn't the economy collapsed yet? The restrainer

Why didn't the gulf oil spill kill 20 million people? The restrainer

Why with all the lies and thievery and fraud we see in government and corporate america, why hasn't the social fabric torn yet? The restrainer.

When did the flood come in Noah's day? After Noah and his family went into the ark.

When did fire and brimstone rain down on sodom? After Lot and his family left the city.

We still live in days of grace, when our Lord can still be found.

Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.

The days of vengeance are coming, but they are not here yet.

Luke 21:22 for these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.

The restrainer is still restraining.

2 Thess2:6And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way

Something else the Lord gave me about the pre-trib rapture. The pre-trib rapture is the only position on the rapture that conforms to the idea that we need not write to you of times and dates:

1 Thessalonians 5:1 ... Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you

Why do we not need to write about times and dates as believers in a pre-trib rapture? Because we are looking for our Lord to show up every single day, any single day...

All the other "tribbers" have dates and times and days and weeks to count till Jesus shows up. They are in error. The Lord is coming "like a thief" at a time when most people do not expect him. If we could count the days as the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib folks think we need to do from key events in the tribulation till the day that Jesus shows up, then writing about "times and dates" might apply, but the bible tells us that they don't. In short, the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib preachers and teachers are dead wrong, from top to bottom wrong.

The "other tribbers" preach a message of partial or no escape. The bible on the other hand clearly teaches that there is an escape from ALL coming (Luke 21:36). Luke 21:36 does not stand on its own, facts throughout the bible support the idea of "escape from all." Just as it was in the days of Noah and Lot, so shall it be in at the coming of the Son of man. Could he be any clearer? Noah, escaped ALL of the flood. Lot escaped ALL of the fire and brimstone, and some of us will escape ALL of what's about to happen. That's a 100% certified FACT straight from the Word of God.

Many things have been hidden from generations past. Read this:

Daniel 12:4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Many things have been sealed up till the time of the end. During the last days things will be revealed that had not been revealed.

Unfortunately the foolish virgins of Matt 25 continue to run around without the oil they will need at the time the bridegroom shows up, and then it will be too late to go get some. Don't you find it ironic that even today, the wise virgins are attempting to tell the foolish virgins to go get some oil, but instead of heading that advice, the foolish accuse the wise or argue "who are you to tell me anything?"

What is the Lord saying to me today?

Matt 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

And that ^^ fits hand in glove with everything else that has been written here today. TODAY we are looking for our Lord's return...TODAY we ask and receive our daily bread (the Lord's prayer), TODAY is a day of grace, when our Lord may still be found, TODAY is a day when the restrainer is still restraining. Do not worry about tomorrow. Ask, seek, knock (Matt 7:7) TODAY.

Seed, time, harvest

The seed that we sow is prayer. We water that seed daily by giving thanks, and planting more seed (more prayer). Plant, water, plant, water, plant, water, and then guess what happens? You get a harvest, IF you continue to plant your seed (prayer) and water it (with thanks), believing that you have received what you asked for (Mark 11:24).

I could go on, out of time today. grace and peace

Warn and Encourage

I ask the Lord frequently "what is your Spirit saying to us Lord?" He answers me in bits and pieces over the course of days. Today I believe I was impressed by His voice saying "warn those who can be warned, and encourage those who can be encouraged."

I ask Him frequently about the events in the world that we all see, like the oil spill, events in the middle east etc. I have to tell you that what I perceive from Him is the direct opposite of what we are seeing and hearing and reading from the world. Right now if I had to encapsulate in a few words what this sense is I have from the Lord it is peace and stillness. The following Words are a bullseye of where the Lord has been centered/hovering/pointing for many weeks now, at least as I perceive Him:

11The Lord spoke to me with his strong hand upon me, warning me not to follow the way of this people. He said:

12“Do not call conspiracy

everything that these people call conspiracy;

do not fear what they fear,

and do not dread it.

13The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy,

he is the one you are to fear,

he is the one you are to dread,

14and he will be a sanctuary;

but for both houses of Israel he will be

a stone that causes men to stumble

and a rock that makes them fall.

And for the people of Jerusalem he will be

a trap and a snare.

15Many of them will stumble;

they will fall and be broken,

they will be snared and captured.”

For people who are of this world, who love this world and the things in it, now is a time to fear. All the things men hope to get from this world are fading to a place where they are all out of reach. Instead of searching for something beyond what can be found in this world, these people throw themselves off of buildings and in front of trains.

The world is going into a tailspin, and far from being alarmed or excited I sense absolute stillness and peace from the Spirit of God. The end is not yet. Although I can assure you with 100% certainty that there will be an "escape from all" event (Luke 21:34-36), my belief is that we have to wait a little more for it. Don't misunderstand this, we must be ready for our Lord to show up tonight, but we probably have a little more waiting to do.

Each fall, the fall feasts that are so far unfulfilled wait for their fulfillment. This year, we are looking at:

Feast of Trumpets(Rosh Hashanah)begins September 8, ends Wednesday September 10, Friday.

Each and every year until our Lord shows up, I will be raising a flag during this time. If you are unfamiliar with the significance and relationship of the escape from all (harpazo/rapture) with the Jewish wedding ceremony and the feast of trumpets, I would highly encourage you to get to reasearching it. I will be posting more on that topic as we approach Rosh Hashanah 2010. As in previous years, I am predicting nothing, just that our alertness for our Lord's return should be greatly hightened during the time of the fall feasts.

I believe the Lord gave me a mind picture? years ago, of our face pressed right up against a razor thin piece of glass? seperating us from the time of Jacob's trouble. The significance of the picture is, it will require faith as we approach and step right up to the very minutes and seconds before all hell breaks loose before the great escape takes place (Luke 21:34-36).

People can argue about the timing of the rapture until they are blue in the face. What they cannot argue because they coflict with the Lord's own words is that there WILL BE an escape from all. Use the bible to interpret the bible. Noah and Lot are not condemned by today's "christians" as escapists, yet those who hold to the Lord's own words on this subject are condemned? PRAY that you may be counted worthy to escape ALL of what's about to happen (luke 21:34-36)...the LORD'S WORDS...not mine. Argue with that.

Recently the Lord brought to mind the "escape" of the people in Israel when the anti-christ is standing in the temple proclaiming himself to be god:

Matt 24:15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Rev 12The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

I find it amazing that today's "christian" opposition to the escape has no problem with with any of the other escape stories in the bible, but when it comes to escaping ALL that's about to happen, oh...they have problems. Lot escaped, Noah escaped, the children of Israel escaped Egypt for the promised land, Those in Judaea who flee to the desert will "escape," Elijah "escaped," The 24 elders sitting in heaven in Rev 4-5 with crowns on their heads who are redeemed, rewarded men, they all "escaped" the time of Jacob's trouble. And last but certainly not least, EVERY GENERATION OF MEN before this very last blip on the world's timeline, they ALL ESCAPED the tribultation, ALL OF THEM, by virtue of the fact that they lived before it.

If you listen to the tired arguments of men who rail against the "escape from all," they come up with all kinds of reasons why we in this last generation (likely) "need" to go through part or all of the time of Jacob's trouble. To make these arguments, they have to ignore the whole of human history, biblical history, and the Lord's OWN WORDS which tell us to right now, not tomorrow, PRAY FOR ESCAPE FROM ALL. How much clearer could He be? Yet many spurn such commands as if I or some other man issued the command? No, the Lord commanded, yet they mock the command, and they scorn the messengers who confirm and remind you of this command.

Matt 25 speaks to us of wise and foolish virgins. The foolish were not, and are not ready. When the Lord shows up for his bride, and its at a time that the foolish did not expect, they will be left behind and the door in heaven will be shut. Re-read Matt 25 and Rev 4. When the Lord showed up thousands of years ago in the flesh, the people of Israel did not recognize Him. They were not ready for Him because they knew neither the Son nor the Father. If they did, they would have been ready. So too, today, many are not ready. Many are the foolish virgins who mock and scorn the Lord's own command for us to pray for escape. On the day that these men are knocking and pleading for the Lord to open the door (Matt 25), we will see who the wise and the foolish are.

If the Lord said it, He meant it, period. If He said something will happen, it will happen, period. Many are those today because they are so "learned" and have studied all the so called wise men of this age ("scholars") tell us that the bible can no longer be read and taken at face value. The bible no longer means what it says as a child would understand it because the "wise men" of today's age say that the bible means something different.

Those who do not enter the kingdom of heaven like LITTLE CHILDREN will not enter it at all. Perhaps today's "wise men" masquerading as "pastors" and "scholars" need to unlearn what men have taught them and pay heed to what the Spirit is speaking to the churches today. These men would do well to humble themselves and take the attitude and perspective of little children.

Matthew 18:3 ... And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Today is a day to warn those who can be warned, and encourage those who can be encouraged. My sense of the Lord's direction to us today is to be at peace. Do not fear what they fear. As things go from bad to worse, our witness to this world is our peace in the midst of the storm. People will run from you if you pull a bible out during a conversation but when they are around you and you are at peace while they cannot sleep at night for fear, and they live in a constant state of anxiety, they will see you and what lives in you and wonder..."what is it that they have, or that they know? I think I want some of it..."

Be at peace, stay in the Word, keep the faith. Be patient, we may have quite awhile to wait, or we may be out of here tonight. About times and date I need not write to you :-)

Blessed be His name, grace and peace

Preparing For the Worst in 2009

I've read things written by people who call themselves christians that tell you you should be buying survival equipment and building a bunker in your backyard for what's coming on the world. Coincidentally many of the people telling you to buy and build these things also SELL the very things they say you should buy...go figure.

I've asked the Lord many times what we should be doing to get ready for what's coming, and I can tell you that I draw an absolute blank when it comes to survival equipment. I think its probably prudent to do some small things for natural disaster preparation, but what can you actually do to prepare for the end of the world as we know it?

Here's an example the Lord gave me, that I now pass on to you of "preparation" for what's about to happen to this world:

Rev 12: 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Our bibles tell us that GOD, not Israel, has prepared a place in the wilderness for this time that's coming. Likewise we know that Jesus coming will be like what happened with Noah and Lot (Matt 24, Luke 17). Noah was given exact specifications and instructions to build and ark. Lot was escorted out of Sodom by angels. Noah took refuge "in the ark" we take refuge "in Christ."

Luke 21:36 tells us there is an escape coming. Matt 25 tells us we have to be ready if we expect to go into the wedding feast. Rev 3:10 tells us that a weak church that has held onto the Word will be kept from the hour of trial that is to come on the entire world. We are in 2009 now, it's time to take our readiness to a higher level. The virgins counted worthy of the wedding had oil in their lamps, that is, they were filled with the Holy Spirit, which means they are "in Christ."

Be not deceived. Read Luke 21:36 again..here it is:

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

What I want you to pay attention to is "accounted worthy" and "stand before the Son of man."

Next, remember this? Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

and

Psalm 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.'

When you stand before the Son of man, you will be seeing God. Matt 5:8 and Psalm 24 point out to us that those who are PURE IN HEART will see God. So, at a minimum, being "accounted worthy" of the escape includes being PURE IN HEART.

Contrast that to the so called christian teachers who tell you that homosexuals and people who "sin all the time" will be raptured. I don't want to pick on any one sin in particular, I want to point out the peril of all sin. If you are not pure in heart, and you expect to see God, are'nt you deceived? I did'nt say the pure in heart will see God...JESUS DID.

This is another reason why Matt 7:14, Matt 7:21 and Rev 2-3 were written. Few will be saved. Why? Love of deception rather than love of the truth. Matt 7:21 tells us many who call themselves christian will be called evildoers and told to go away. Rev 2-3 tells us that 1 out of 7 churches of Revelation gets to be kept from the hour of trial coming on the entire world.

These things written to you today are to remind you of what God said, not to beat you down. Our minds need to be continually renewed so we do not conform to this world.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Prepare your minds and hearts for whats coming. We live in this world but we are not of this world. Be ready for the escape, the FACT is, ITS COMING. We are closer today than we ever have been to it. We have been patiently waiting for it, and its almost here. We have to have the patience to enable us to wait years into the future and the prayerful readiness that will enable us to leave here today. It's a double edged sword. If you are ready today but lack patience, you'll fall into the "cry wolf" trap and tomorrow fall away from your readiness. If you are patient, expecting the escape years in the future, but do not have the readiness today to leave today, you may fall into the "foolish virgin" trap of Matt 25. You need both, patience, and readiness. Test yourself today to determine if you are "in the faith" as Paul said. I'm not the one told to test you, YOU are told to test you. Your test today is to determine if you are pure in heart, because only the pure in heart will see God.

You are dearly dearly unimaginably loved. Time is very short, grace and peace

A Worthless Argument Against Pre-Trib Rapture

The worthless argument goes something like this: If a pre-trib rapture does'nt happen, Pre-trib believers will lose their faith in Christianity and Jesus.

Really? Perhaps that argument reflects more of the minds and hearts of those who argue that theory than those of us who believe we will be with Jesus VERY Soon (pre-trib). So instead of then looking for a mid-trib rapture, pre-tribbers will say to themselves "i'm done with this christianity thing?"

Our faith is in CHRIST JESUS, whenever He comes. It just so happens that the bible overwhelmingly supports the pre-trib viewpoint. It's interesting that most of apostate churchianty believes in the pre-trib rapture, and even satan's servants sell pre-trib, why is that? When the pre-trib rapture occurs it's going to DEVASTATE the apostate church. When millions of true believers disappear and the following sunday all the apostate preachers show up to "service" the sheeple it will be obvious who they are and why they did'nt make it, at which point the lie that is masquerading as christianity today will crumble and fall under it's own weight. Satan is counting on it, the apostate church does'nt think there's anything wrong with what they are doing, after all, man's traditions have been perpetuating it for centuries, how could it be wrong?

Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
