Time to Get Serious

I am once again impressed by the shortness of time. Realizing how little time is left before this world is turned upside down, it's time to ask important questions, like: what should I be doing in the few days that are left before all hell breaks loose on earth?

The faithless will tell you (like 99% of todays pastors) to "get involved" with the world to "make a difference." .....What absolute RUBBISH.

The faithful know how to move mountains, and it's not by "getting involved" with this world. We move mountains through PRAYER. We know that prayer is effective, and we know that prayer is hard work, which is why most don't pray. Those who believe what the bible says is true, are awestruck by our responsibility in prayer. You want to "make a difference?" Fine, pray for someone else's ETERNAL SOUL. That a worthy enough task for you? What price would you put on the soul of your son/daughter/wife/husband? What does the Word of God say about the souls of these people, YOUR FAMILY?

Let's see:

Acts 11:13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; 14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house

Job 22 :28 “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you;And light will shine on your ways. 29 “When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence,And the humble person He will save. 30 “He will deliver one who is not innocent,And he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”

The Lord will save your family, He will even save one who is not innocent THROUGH THE CLEANNESS OF YOUR HANDS. Talk about weight on your shoulders....Your life is not just about you, those around you, your family and maybe even your friends may or not be in heaven because of YOUR STANDING with Jesus. I've said it till I'm blue in the face and I'll say it again, there's no time left. Forget about yourself for a moment and think about the ones you love. What will happen to them? When hell comes to earth here soon, how will you feel if you make it out but those you love are left behind? There's no more important issue we could talk about. You need to be right with the Lord, figure out what that means and understand that your eternal destiny is NOT the only thing riding on your standing. There are others, whose destiny YOUR decisions will affect. WAKE UP!

Let's hammer this home with the Lord's own examples of how this works:

Luke 17: 26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noah, even so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life'shall preserve it. 34 I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35 There shall be two women grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 36 There shall be two men in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 37 And they answering say unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Where the body is , thither will the eagles also be gathered together.

How exactly did things come to pass in the days of Noah, and Lot? Did Noah and Lot's righteousness only save them? No, THEIR FAMILIES accompanied them out of the destruction zones BEFORE disaster struck. There's ALOT more riding on you than just you. For the sake of those you love WAKE UP and stay ready for the imminent appearance of our Lord. When? I DON'T KNOW...SOON. Grace and peace be with you always

For the record: prayer comes before any good works we may do for the Lord. What do you think pleases him more, time spent in intimacy with Him or you out in the world doing good works? They are both good, but one is better, and takes priority over the other. Here's your proof:

Left to do all the work herself whilst her sister, Mary, sat at her Lord’s feet, Martha complained bitterly, “Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “You are worried and upset by many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42 NIV)

BINGO

Paradox

In order to gain everything you must first disown everything.

Mark 8:35
... because whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

There's alot packed into that statement. It ties right into this:

James 4:4
... So whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God. ... Therefore whoeverwishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God

If we want to be friends with the Creator, disown the world. Why? So we can gain everything. We worship the Creator for good reason. We gain everything, but we don't go about it the way the world does.

Colossians 1 :15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

When we are "in Christ" we gain all things. Those who chase after the world and what it has to offer are basically faithless. They don't really believe that they gain all things by seeking Jesus first, so they chase the world and what it has to offer instead. There's a reason why the Word says being friends with the world makes a person an enemy of God, because faith is everything, faithlessness has a price.

These are important things, especially as this world approaches the tribulation hour. Time is short. Over the last year or two when I asked the Lord how much time was left, He asked me a question as a response: how many 'normal days' do I think are left? Answer: NOT MANY. In fact, there's almost nothing normal about the world we live in today. Everything is in the process of decay and upheaval. Things are turning upside down. What is good is called evil, and what is evil is called good. The world is ready for its leader to show up, the prince of the power of the air. Keep the faith, ask Jesus for the cross that you may die to the world, but live unto Him. Our King waits to receive us with his reward in his hand for those who are found faithful and obedient at his coming. Do not be deceived, a 'decision' made 10 years ago isn't enough to get you into heaven today. No faith, no obedience= no heaven. It takes faith and obedience to "remain in him." Look "remain in me" up in your bibles. Remaining "in Christ" is the key to our salvation. Time is short, keep the faith. Grace and peace

Merciful Madness

I believe that this time of madness we live in is the Lord's last attempt to get people's attention before the rapture and tribulation. When times are good, people tend to forget about the Lord, so times are bad, and people still won't turn to him? If people think things are bad today, just wait. Things are about to get ALOT worse. What do you think things are going to look like on this earth when the Holy Spirit (the restrainer) withdraws his restraining hand? Demonic, satanic power will romp throughout the earth unhindered, like I say, you think things are bad now? Just wait. People can fall into fear, or they can choose faith. It's up to them, it's up to you, which will you choose? Time is so very short, will the Lord come back today? I don't know, get right with Jesus today, stay right with Jesus today, He loves you. Grace and peace

The Pre-tribulation Rapture of the Church is Coming SOON

The beginning of the tribulation has come into view for us. We are'nt in it yet, but we can see it, we can feel it's effects tugging on the people of the world even though it has'nt kicked off 'officially' yet. It looks bad, from what we can see now, it's going to be ALOT worse that what we can see. What we can see is, a collapsing global economic system, martial law, famine, persecution, and death. What we don't see yet is the 'alien' invasion of this world, the anti-christ and the full blown seal and trumpet judgements.

With all this in mind, it's time to start getting serious about the rapture. It's time to kick up a notch our time spent with the Lord. Why? There's no time left, we are living AT THE END OF THE AGE, is that enough reason to step things up? To be extra extra vigilant? Yea. The rapture will be PRE-TRIBULATION, which means it is almost on top of us. The 'other-tribbers' just don't get it, and the time for debating is over. It's time to start seriously meditating on the scriptures which prove Jesus will be calling us up into the clouds any hour now.

Rev 3:10 'Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth. 11 Lo, I come quickly, be holding fast that which thou hast, that no one may receive thy crown.

This "hour of trial" is going to come upon THE ENTIRE WORLD, that is the tribulation my friends and WE ARE TO BE KEPT FROM IT.

Those who argue that we are going to go through the tribulation can't read greek or english. If I tell you that I'm going to administer a test for the entire class, but you will BE KEPT FROM IT, does that mean you get a test booklet and pencil? Does that mean you read even a single question on the test? NO, it means you don't even see the test. Like I said, plain english. The bible clearly says we will be kept from the hour of trial, that means THE ENTIRE TIME PERIOD OF THE TEST, does it say we will be kept from the effects of the trial? NO It says we will be kept from the hour of trial, which means, the trial lasts for an 'hour' and we are kept from ALL OF IT. The greek word 'ek' is used to tell us specifically, and it means AWAY FROM. plain english, plain greek. But let's not stop there, let's use the bible to interpret the bible ok? Does Rev 3:10 really mean we will be kept out of the tribulation hour? Let's see:

Luke 21:36 watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.'

The bible interprets the bible, you'll be kept from the hour of trial, pray that you'll be counted worth to ESCAPE ALL of these things that are about to come to pass.

Once again, plain english, but many don't understand what ESCAPE ALL means. What does ESCAPE mean? What does ALL mean? Many people today do not understand what those two words mean, do you? grace and peace

Endtimes Endgame, When Truth is Stranger Than Fiction

Have you been watching the news lately? What have you seen? Here's what I've seen:

Wars and rumors of wars

Unprecedented flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes of a scale and frequency that tell me, something is about to be "given birth." The world over is setting records almost daily for destructive weather phenomena.

Full blown christian apostasy, no salt, no light. So called christianity is so deeply in bed with the world that they are indistinguishable from each other.

Judging by both the direction and velocity of current events, I wonder, and ask the Lord frequently, how much time is left? How much higher can gas prices, food prices, unemployment, and housing market collapse go before EVERYTHING gets turned upside down? How many more natural disasters can the world withstand, with their associated destruction of food crops before everyone starves?

To this point the world has proven remarkably resiliant at absorbing the beating it has taken and still keep ticking. I can assure you of this, we cannot continue on this trajectory for much longer without something MAJOR happening. There is nothing, NOTHING, positive in the short to midterm outlook for this world. This is a perfect storm. Each and every contributing factor to this storm is incredibly powerful and negative in it's own right, put together, they are a devastating combination. That said, what do I expect to see in the near term future, any day now?

At some point, things will get bad enough, the population of the world will have been sufficiently "squeezed" to set the satanic endgame in motion. I don't think satan pulls the trigger on this, our God does. Things start with the rapture of the church...any day now. Once the few believers who actually are salt and light in this world are pulled out, full scale demonic invasion commences. Since satan and his angels like to present themselves as angels of light, how would this invasion occur without appearing overtly demonic? Have you seen movie after movie after movie relating to aliens, ufo's? Independence day, War of the worlds, Star trek, star wars, every and any movie that conditions men to make "contact' with otherworldly beings, there have been lots of them. Almost every day I read about new ufo sightings around the world. It's almost a daily occurence now. Recently the vatican made a statement that it's okay to believe in aliens and God. The world is being prepped for contact. So the rapture happens, the demonic flood pours in, and the "day of the Lord" begins which kicks of the 7 year tribulation period. All this happens in a VERY short period of time. If you think people's heads are already spinning from a world that seems unreal today, just wait till the rapture occurs.

Another possibility in the near term future is the start of WW3. The tensions in the world are already spilling over into the streets, what better way to "vent" and take people's minds off of their deteriorating circumstances than to wave a flag in their face and focus all their pent up frustration toward war? The advent of another World War would possibly delay the events I detailed earlier in this post. In any case, I truly believe that most of the things written about here are coming to this world in very short order. What does that mean? It means, repent, it means wake up, it means, get our act together so that when our Lord does come for us, He finds us doing things befitting of faithful servants. I've been saying there's no time left for a couple of years now, the Lord is patient with this world not wanting any to perish, but when He returns will he find faith on earth? Grace and peace, may the Lord's face shine upon you today.
