I have been talking with many
that I know and trying
desperately to get them to see
the events, taking place around
this world, that give some-what
of a time frame to the coming
Rapture. For the most part, I am
beginning to think, that I am
failing. At times, even those
close to me, just can't see the
trees because the forest is in
the way! I am not willing to
give up though! If the Lord
thinks it is important for many
to know what is to come, that is
good enough for me to keep
writing and speaking! I remember
a number of years ago, I was
particularly up-beat about the
whole episode to come for this
world. Then one day, I had a
thought, "What if they will not
understand....simply
because....they are still
blinded by this world?" Think on
this for a moment, the Money,
the power, the cars and houses
and the big bank account are
still more important than the
Lord or HIS Word? We the True
Bible Believers, are able to see
through this mysterious veil and
see it for what it really is!
And the reason why is this, We
were chosen by the Lord, long
before the Universe was ever
made! Besides that, the Lord
never said, getting the Word of
God out to others was going to
be easy! In my mind though, it
is simpler for me to believe the
Word of God, to see that
"Salvation or the Lack there of"
is the ultimate question for
every person ever born on this
planet!
What boggles my mind is this;
how far a person will go to keep
from reading the Bible...or to
conceive the idea of how not to
read it. They spend more time
and effort, when ultimately it
would be easiest to just say no,
I don't want to read it! This
tells me one thing, they have no
idea what is in the Bible, but
they do know, in their hearts,
they should read it. I know, I
know, they simply want to spare
my feelings, but what are my
feelings going to be when they
die....to Hell?! I had a Friend
a few years ago, that had his
own business and for a while he
was doing really great. As it
turned out, when the economy
failed, so did his business and
100's were left unemployed.
While things were going well and
he making millions, I would tell
him to stop praying at the alter
of money. He didn't listen then
and when his business fell
though, he felt responsible and
in the end had to deal with a
lot depression. This was to the
point he would never call me or
take my calls, I had told him he
needed to give the Lord the
credit for his booming business.
Instead he and the rest of the
company, kept gouging the
customers in every way, just to
make more money. One day His
Wife and Daughter were in town
shopping, he went out on the
back porch, took a shotgun and
blew a hole through his chest.
He never made an effort to think
about the Lord or to accept the
Lord's Free gift of Salvation
and now we all know where he is
and where he will spend
Eternity....it breaks my
Heart!!! Money and things...had
clouded his thinking and brought
nothing but misery and
depression.
It would have been so much
easier, to turn your life over
to the Lord and let HIM take
care of your life! To let the
Lord direct you at every turn,
to show you how to prosper and
Let the Lord shine in your Life.
This is what the Lord wants for
us to do! That mysterious veil
is nothing but a lie and all the
years man has been on this
earth, it has never changed.
That states the obvious problem,
that everyone should have
already understood, "If it
didn't work for the first
hundred people, what makes you
think, it will be different for
you?!" Let's say that the first
100 people to go after this
idea, took place within the
first 500 years of man on this
earth. Wouldn't it be a good
idea to follow a different path,
there after? It is obvious that
satan is doing his best to get
you to believe that YOU can make
the difference...simply because
it's YOU!! What a lie!! And to
think, people still believe this
lie and keep doing the same
thing, talk about ignorance!
Jesus Christ never owned a
home, HE never owned live stock,
HE never owned a business. Can
you guess why? Remember now HE
is GOD...in human flesh! Those
things are worthless in Heaven!
In Matthew 6:20-21 "But lay up
for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through nor
steal: For where your treasure
is, there will your heart be
also."
Luke 12:33-34 "Sell that ye
have, and give alms; provide
yourselves bags which wax not
old, a treasure in the heavens
that faileth not, where no thief
approacheth, neither moth
corrupteth. For where your
treasure is, there will your
heart be also." Or maybe you
remember where in John 4:24 "God
is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth." And then
we must not forget to read in
Genesis 1:26-27 "And God said,
Let us make man in our image,
after our likeness: and let them
have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth. So God
created man in his own image, in
the image of God created he him;
male and female created he
them." This means that God was
making man and woman as a
"Spirit", our Soul and Spirit
are like God, NOT our Bodies. It
has everything to do with our
Spirit, therefore anything
outside of a Spiritual rhelm is
worthless, that we are not to
concern ourselves with that, it
is of the world. Does this make
sense? I truly hope so!
In the context of this world
and the "Rapture" to come, it is
even more relevant to us, that
we read the Scriptures and
Believe. In 2 Corinthians
6:16-18 "And what agreement hath
the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the
living God; as God hath said, I
will dwell in them, and walk in
them; and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith
the Lord, and touch not the
unclean thing; and I will
receive you. And will be a
Father unto you, and ye shall be
my sons and daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty." It means that,
we are created in God's Image, a
Spirit, therefore everything we
should seek, we should do so for
the betterment of our Spirit,
not the betterment of our bodies
and this is so very important to
know! In essence, the Word of
God is telling us to forget
about the physical world and all
that is in it, it is worthless
to us in the Long run. This
understanding will make life for
us...easier! It is said in
Philippians 4:19 "But my God
shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus." 1
Thessalonians 4:16-18 "For the
Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with
the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first: Then
we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord. Wherefore
comfort one another with these
words." In an instance, faster
than conceivable in our
imagination, our bodies will be
changed to incorruptible! We
will have the bodies Good
originally had in mind for us.
This change only takes place
once you give your life to the
lord and seek the things found
only in Heaven. The things of
this world will remain here on
earth and will no longer be a
concern to us. If that is the
case, then why should we be
concerned with the things of
this earth while we're here?
Remember, money is nothing more
than paper made from trees and
ink from plants applied to
it...it is worthless!! Stop and
think for a moment, if God
created this earth, wouldn't he
be able to create a home for
you? It says in Luke 18:25-27
"For it is easier for a camel to
go through a needle's eye, than
for a rich man to enter into the
kingdom of God. And they that
heard it said, Who then can be
saved? And he said, The things
which are impossible with men
are possible with God." This
leaves no doubt as to whom all
things are possible for, whether
they be Physical or Spiritual.
In my opinion, it is far easier
to follow Jesus Christ and KNOW
I am going to Heaven. Jesus
Christ stated in John 15:4-6
"Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself, except it abide in the
vine; no more can ye, except ye
abide in me. I am the vine, ye
are the branches: He that
abideth in me, and I in him, the
same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do
nothing. If a man abide not in
me, he is cast forth as a
branch, and is withered; and men
gather them, and cast them into
the fire, and they are burned."
In Black and white my Friends,
you can do nothing without Jesus
Christ! You want to go to
Heaven? Then you must come to
Jesus Christ...there is no other
way!! It's one way or the
other....Heaven or Hell!!
