Several years ago, I submitted a message stating that “My God Is Real” and supplied numerous Biblical references to back this statement up. The biggest issue with this is the reader must believe the Bible is the true word from our Father, written by approximately forty Holy Spirit-inspired authors, and through numerous translations, it stands as absolute truth. (ESV – all emphasis is mine)

Starting with 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”

Next, we look at 1 Thessalonians 2:13; “And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the Word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it; not as the word of men, but as it really is, the Word of God, which is at work in you believers.”

Peter tells us in 2 Peter 1:19-21, “And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, which the day dawns, and the Morning Star rises in your hearts; knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but when spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”

For those of us who are believers, the above verses carry a special comfort in that we believe that our Heavenly Father has a special love for us. It is so powerful that He sent a very special part of Himself to this earth to give us a true pathway to have eternal life with Him (John 3:16-18).

In the days before Jesus came to this earth as a human, God allowed sacrifices of animals and birds to be a temporary means of being forgiven for sins. However, as Hebrews 10:3-4 states, “But in these sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.”

God cannot accept any sacrifice as permanent unless it is willingly given (John 10:18) by One who has lived a pure, sinless life. Of all the people from Adam and Eve, to all who will have lived until this earth is ended, there is only One who will ever fit God’s requirement. That would be Jesus the Christ, our Messiah and Holy Redeemer. His blood sacrifice was once for all people and for all time.

As stated, for this to carry a special meaning, one has to believe that the Bible is the true word from our Heavenly Father and that He truly exists in the form of three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

For the “naysayers,” those who do not believe in God but are being carried along by evil spirits and the desires of this earth, we go to 1 Corinthians 1:18; “For the word of the Cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.”

Our Heavenly Father is not surprised at the increase in evil, and actually covers this in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; ” The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan, with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the Truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion so that they may believe what is false in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the Truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” I believe that “strong delusion” has begun, even though not in full force yet.

Over the past decade, we have witnessed the boldness of Satan coming out. More and more, events are taking place that were held behind closed doors earlier. As a slap in the Savior’s face, there are even “churches of Satan” opening around this country. Gender-related events, along with all the alphabet people, are taking place not only throughout America but are actually going around the world.

The movement started out like a baby slowly crossing the floor. As time progressed, the “baby” stood up and began to walk, and its movements gained speed. As the “baby” moved to “teen” years, the pace picked up to a sprint, and as each day passes, the progression accelerates even further. Eventually, the pace will be so rapid that the participants will only take time to consider what they have on this earth rather than considering where they will spend eternity.

Sadly, more people are getting caught up in the Satan-inspired activities. Those who truly believe in Jesus and proclaim Him as their Savior are being labeled as “haters.” As difficult as the times have become for us, it is nowhere near just how terrible it will be for any believer during the reign of the antichrist and his false prophet. Any who will receive and accept Jesus during that 7-year period will most likely be subjected to martyrdom.

Jesus Himself said we would be hated by the world for His namesake but that He overcame the world (John 16:33). God has promised that no true believer will enter the Wrath or Tribulation but that we would be removed before the evil one can appear.

Once the Rapture takes place as described in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, the “naysayers” will come up with excuses to try and say why we are suddenly gone. There will be an allegiance made with the antichrist, and his followers will receive a mark on their foreheads or right hands, showing that they are worshipers of the beast. This will be an unforgivable sin, as stated in Revelation 13:16-18.

Right now, while there may still be time, it would be very wise to make the choice to receive and accept Jesus as your Savior. We don’t know the day or hour that the Rapture will take place, but all who will already have Jesus in their hearts will be taken up to meet Him in the air. It’s a free-will choice that must be made by every individual. Any who refuse to receive and accept the Father’s Son will be left behind to face whatever will come.

Please know I believe completely that “My Redeemer Lives.” Nichole Mullen wrote and performs a song with that title, and it is a powerful message, to say the least.

1.) Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning? And who told the ocean ‘you can only come this far’? And who showed the moon where to hide till evening? Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Ref.) Well, I know My Redeemer lives; I know My Redeemer lives. All of creation testifies; the life within me cries, I know My Redeemer lives.

2.) The very same God that spins things in orbit runs to the weary, the worn, and the weak. And the same gentle hands that hold me when I’m broken, they conquered death to bring me Victory.

Ref.2) Now I know My Redeemer lives; I know My Redeemer lives. Let all creation testify; let this life within me cry, I know My Redeemer lives.

3.) He lives to take away my shame, and He lives forever; I’ll proclaim that the payment for my sin was the precious life He gave; but now He’s alive, and there’s an empty grave!

Ref. 4) I know My Redeemer lives; I know My Redeemer lives; I know My Redeemer lives. He lives; He lives; He lives; He lives!

Matthew 24, Luke 21, 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and various other passages tell us what the end of this age will be like. For the first time, all the signs given are here right now, and all at once. Those of the world are looking for earthly answers, while those who have received and accepted Jesus as our Shepherd are waiting and watching for the Trumpet of God to sound and a shout from an archangel. Instead of being in fear, we should be getting excited. Two words sum it all up – Home Soon!

The simple steps to being saved are found in Romans 10:9-13, which are also called the ABCs of Salvation. The main issue is that many people expect to have to do more to “earn” or “buy” their way into eternal life with Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-9 is the absolute answer to this, as we can do nothing other than to accept God’s Son as our one and only way to being with Him. (Also John 14:6)

If you haven’t considered that Jesus is the only way and that there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved, (Acts 4:12) then today would not be too early to take a moment to determine where you will spend eternity. There are numerous verses that plainly state that if we have the Son, we have the Father; but without the Son, we do not have the Father. It will either be with Jesus in Heaven, or with Satan and all his demons in hell or the Lake of Fire. By making no decision, the default will be to decide against Jesus. Two examples are John 3:18 and 1 John 5:12.

God gave us the promise that we will be with Him in eternity if we have His Son in our hearts, and God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). Please don’t put it off another day; that could just be a day late.

Yehi Rotzan! (May it be Thy will!)

Just before Obama became president, he and his communist-loving friends, namely Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dorn, were having meetings on how to bring down our Christian nation. Today, Bill and Bernadine teach anarchy in our universities, and Obama’s corrupt vice president sits in the office of the presidency, ripping off the public.

In video recordings soon to be made public, they discussed their foolish plans at that point in time. It took years for their plan to come to fruition, and now it looks like the radical left may still get their wish to destroy our way of life and our constitution. This with the arrests of outspoken people who don’t agree with their communist agenda.

If something isn’t done soon or God lets us have what we so richly deserve, Christians and conservatives alike will be forced to comply with their treacherous wishes and agenda or go to prison.

On another front, millions of dollars were given to the Ukrainians again to be silent about what they know about Mr. Biden, who, by fanning the flames of war, we are expected to keep our eyes on that calamity and overlook the corruption that took place between the two entities in the recent past.

But the Bible says, “Be sure your sins will find you out.” And so now, we are on the cusp of war with Russia ourselves.

In the book, “America’s Cultural Revolution,” writer Christopher F. Rufo tells what he knows about the radical left’s plots to destroy the country and hand it over to our communist enemies.

So far, these subversives have succeeded in seeding our public institutions and government with these radical and far-fetched ideas of equality and revolution.

You can say what you will about God being in control (and I agree), but He expects us to do our part in keeping the enemy at bay.

Blue states are rife with criminality, and flash mobs rob and trash stores. Drug-addicted young people stand frozen like zombies in the open and defecate in the streets of lawless blue cities throughout the country. The young, homeless, and disenfranchised have now begun dying in the gutters of America.

People walking to work have to step over prone bodies to reach their destination. It’s a literal nightmare. Hope for law-abiding citizens is fading fast, and except for those who know Christ – there is no peace to be found anywhere else.

This dystopian scenario was just beginning to be played out in Liberal Los Angeles when I was there. Still, who could have imagined it would get this bad?

I remember walking down Hollywood and Vine one night. I was alone and was getting a feel for the town. After a while, I felt the need to empty my bladder, but knowing that no store or restaurant would let a pedestrian use their facility, I figured a bar would be my best bet for relief.

Sure enough, no one noticed as I made my way back to the restroom. They were too busy arguing and laughing, name-calling, and doing all other things that drunks do.

As I pushed the door open to leave afterward, I coughed and choked from the blue tobacco smoke that hung on the ceiling – a cloud so thick you could cut it with a knife. Then, as I stumbled out onto the sidewalk, I almost bumped into a familiar figure whom I had watched on television’s TBN. It was Paul and Jan Crouch. Jan peered around to see the drunk that had just stumbled out the door, and the disgust on her face was palpable. I think if she had an umbrella in her hand, she’d have whacked the sin and daylights out of me. Paul kept his cool.

The bar was situated on a corner, and the light was red, so I sauntered up next to the celebrity couple, and waiting for the light to change, I exclaimed, “Aren’t you Jan and Paul Crouch?” She turned to glare at me so fast I thought I saw her pink wig slip a bit. Paul let her deal with me since she was the more self-righteous one of the two. Jan glared at me, thinking I was just another drunk, and turned her back on me. Then the light turned green.

Once, when my new wife and I were walking down the boulevard with another young couple, I, being the confident and frisky evangelical type, said to our friends jokingly, “I’ll share the gospel with the next person wearing a red hat.” We all laughed. We had been talking about being bold enough to share Christ with anyone, and this was as unlikely to happen as the man in the moon dancing.

Wouldn’t you know it, I barely finished making that claim when, just then, a middle-aged black man came around the corner in front of us wearing a red hat and sporting red shoes! We all froze, and our friends looked at me challengingly while my young wife put her hand over her mouth so as to stifle a giggle. “Ok, wise guy, do your thing.”

I took a deep breath and stepped over in front of the oncoming man, saying, “Excuse me sir… do you know Jesus Christ as your Savior?”

“Wat choo mean, sport?”

“I mean, are you a Christian?”

“Well, I think I am…. My mama was one, and she always took us to church.”

If I remember right, I shared the gospel with the man, and that was that.

Our friends looked at each other in shock. God surely had a good laugh, and I don’t make unlikely predictions anymore.

“Ah, for the good old days.”
