What Will Jesus Find You Doing for His Kingdom?

(scriptures compiled by Murray Lorance; some verses underlined for emphasis.)

Matthew 24:42-46 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will. Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.”

Matthew 28:18-20 (NASB)

“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'”

Matthew 9:37-38 (NASB)

“Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.'”

Mark 8:38 (NASB)

“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Be not ashamed!

1 John 2:28 (NASB)

“Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.”

Luke 19:11-13 King James Version (KJV)

“And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.”

Matthew 5:8 (NASB)

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

1 Chronicles 28:9 (NASB)

“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.”

2 Peter 1:3-8 (NASB)

“…seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness,  and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Acts 20:27 (NASB)

“For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God.”

Matthew 7:21-23 (NASB)

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who DOES the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”

Matthew 24:9-14 (NASB)

“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

Matthew 25:34-40 (NASB)

“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'”

And forgive us our debts, [just] as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.] For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.”

Ephesians 4:32 (NASB)

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”

“And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.”

Romans 12:10-13 (NASB)

“Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”

1 Peter 3:15 (NASB)

“But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.”

“Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more. For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God.”

Has America Bought the Lie? :: By Robert Campbell

Hello folks, it’s been a long time since I wrote any articles. The last time I wrote an article for RR has been a few years ago. I felt the need to do it then, and I feel the need now.

What we see here now in America is a travesty. What we see now is something that you see in third- world countries. What we see now is lawlessness in every form.

We see the breakdown of the rule of law. We see that our freedoms are and have been taken away.

We are not even allowed to voice our concerns, even if it’s in our private homes.

We are not allowed to fight evil on any level. In fact, it’s in reverse.

In the last few years, evil has taken over every aspect of our lives.

What you see today in America did not start yesterday; it started years ago with the slow and methodical breakdown of good. It also was the breakdown of the folks that started this country, the white man.

The white man is looked at today as evil and he had slaves and stole this country from the Indians. They are looked at as the evil people that held down the black man from succeeding here in America. The white man is looked at as the source of all our troubles in America and around the world.

Yes, people, the white man’s will has been so worn down to a point that he even believes he is the evil one. They believe now that they are at fault for this country’s downfall.

The white man now is saying that he is sorry for being racist towards our black people, and people of all colors.

White people are now apologizing for something they don’t have to apologize for.

White folks are afraid to be called racist; in fact, they will go to great lengths to avoid being called a racist.

White folks, you owe nothing to the blacks of this country.

The blacks have lost their morals and family values, and they want to blame others for their misgivings.

The fathers were taken out of the homes through social services and welfare, and now you have boys raised by their moms and grandmothers. You have allowed the government to take care of your children.

Most of these boys stealing and looting and destroying property have no fathers at home to guide them in the right way.

Folks, this is a spiritual battle; it’s against good and evil. And evil is winning.

We as a nation have become weak, and will allow evil to prevail just to appease evil.

I’m talking about good people of God, that have allowed evil to take control. I’m talking about you so-called Christians that go to church every Sunday, and read the Bible.

Evil has taken over, and we sit in our homes and fight it with our precious smartphones and smart TVs and computers.

What I see in America is happening just like it did in Germany, during Hitler’s reign. We have Black Lives Matter folks taking control of this country, just like the brown shirts and Nazis did in Germany. They did it by causing harm and destruction to Jews and other decent folks.

Look at Seattle; we have allowed thugs and criminals to take over a city; and the government let them get away with it, without any pushback. The police are told to not take the city back and to turn tail.

This is what evil looks like when you don’t fight back, and it will spread like wildfire; and it is.

They hate God and anything good in this country.

The third Reich started quickly and spread rapidly, just like the Black Lives Matter movement.

We now have people on both sides of the aisle supporting Black Lives Matter.

We have now bought the lie in America.

People are losing their livelihood and businesses and lives over what they say and believe.

We are not allowed to fight evil or we will be targeted.

Good is evil and evil is good.

It did not start with this evil pandemic; it started a long time ago when we got comfortable with all the comforts of life. Smartphones and TVs etc. Our possessions are more important than doing the right thing. We let it happen right under our noses.

We were too comfortable in our comfort zone.

Satan is out and about, and we stay at home and complain.

Even the churches have become weak and pathetic, allowing all kinds of evil to come in.

And the so-called preachers do not want to lose their churches or status or parking space.

The preachers are now teaching a whole new gospel so as not to anger the people.

Companies are now firing folks if they don’t agree with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Even family members are turning on and snitching on their own family for not agreeing with them, and supporting Black Lives Matter.

Just like they did in Nazi Germany.

To sit back and watch people riot and loot and destroy property over the death of a man is a sin before God.

And I will not mention his name, because I will not honor him in any way.

We now agree with defunding our police force and allowing darkness to enter.

We sit back and allow evil people to destroy and not allow our police to protect us.

All because we bought the lie. We bought it hook, line and sinker.

We have white folks kneeling to evil black folks such as Black Lives Matter and their type.

We now apologize for the Flag. White folks being made to feel guilty for being White.

We now will remove Confederate flags and statues just because of the white ancestry that fought for slavery when, in fact, both sides owned slaves. We want to rename bases because of the Confederate names.

This is what happened in Germany during Hitler’s reign.

America has bought the lie.

Look around you; white folks are apologizing in great numbers.

Even people in high places in the government are apologizing and kneeling to black people.

This pandemic is a great lie and a setup. It has caused more damage to this country and world than anything I have ever witnessed.

The liberal Democrats want to destroy this country and this president (Trump). It’s all an attempt to destroy him and good people. The liberals will go to any lengths to destroy this man. He is the only one stopping evil from taking full control. All other men could not stand up to this kind of evil day in and day out. He has to be from God.

Our nation is under fire, and the states that are having the most problems are being run by women and weak men. We have allowed the women to take control of cities and states that men should run.

Just look around you. We now have gays and lesbians and transgender folks running our cities and states.

Even the Supreme Court has bought the lie.

Have you seen how organized evil has become (BLM)? It has spread all over the planet. Black Lives Matter stands for everything evil. There is no good in them. Satan controls them.

And any Christian that supports them is not of God. You are a phony Christian perpetrating good when, in fact, you’re evil.

Those who apologize to evil are those who value their possessions more than God.

Men of all colors need to take back your role. The man has been taken out of the homes of leadership. The man has been put in second position instead of taking his rightful place.

God over Christ, Christ over man, man over women, and women over children. Out of that order will not work.

If men don’t take the lead, we will not have a country any more. Women cannot lead men; it’s impossible.

We have been made to believe that the white man is our enemy.

My white brother, you started this great country with God’s help, and now you are going to let it be destroyed with Satan’s help. You have become weak and broken down.

You are more worried about your possessions and livelihood and being called racist than doing what’s right.

You’re more worried about your business than telling the truth. You would rather bend a knee than tell your black brother the truth.

I’m ashamed of black people and I’m black. Not all, but most.

We have succumbed to evil and now are afraid to speak out against evil. What a shame!

My white brother, if you don’t stand up for your country now, who will?

My black brother, you need to go back home and lead your family. You need to drop your anger and forgive your parents for messing you up.

You need to become the leader in your family, and stop letting the women take control.

You need to stop having babies out of wedlock, and having sex before marriage. This applies to all races of people. We need to get back to God.

We fathers need to be teaching our sons the right way to be a man. A woman cannot teach a boy to be a man.

It’s all out of order. We need to get back to God’s order.

Even I almost bought the lie. But I forgave my parents, and God forgave me. And the world was different from that point on. He gave me eyes to see and ears to hear.

My white brother, you need to do the same.

America is in its death throes, and waiting on God to rescue you will not help.

God is looking for a few good men and women, just like our president to stand up to evil.

We folks of all races need to take back our Government with good people that love this Country and Flag, and not be ashamed of being an American.

My white brothers and sisters, we need you to take the lead, because you started this great nation, and you need to stand up before it’s too late.

We need to pray for our President and Country.

I’m a Christian American Republican that happens to be Black.

We also need to pray for the Jews and Israel.

Thank You.
