Is The End Real

Revelation 22:18-19,  I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book; if anyone adds to these things, God will add to him to plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from The Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

The Book of Revelation tells us in detail what is sure to happen. If you choose not to believe, that will not change the facts.

Revelation 21:8, but the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone which is the second death.

When people read the Bible, they often get distracted by the symbols. Still, that doesn’t change the truth. It is just 2000 years and translations later. A good study Bible will help you understand what you are reading.

A major problem with deadly consequences is the fact that we do not know the day and hour of the Lord Jesus Christ return. The Bible does tell us how to prepare and be ready for that return, and it also tells us that it could be any time, as quick as a blink of an eye. That is a good thing to keep in mind

Matthew 24: 36, but of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, but my Father only.

Revelation 1:3, blessed is He who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written in it for the time is near.

If all of the words of this message seemed urgent or overwhelming, it is these words that will help somebody find the truth and be ready when the time comes. So, my friends, the time to get right with almighty God Is right now! When the end does come, it is too late. You can’t make up your mind after the fact.

Some sobering thoughts. If you compare the world news, especially our country to the description in the Book of Revelation, there are too many similarities to ignore. Things are beginning to add up and stack up for the wise to interpret.

Almighty God does not think or act the way we do. We cannot trust our opinion. Don’t let satan talk or scare you out of salvation. There are hundreds if not thousands of prophecies in this book that have taken place, so it seems reasonable to think that the rest of the prophecies will also come true. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and by your blood my sins were washed away. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Amen. 

Praise The Lord! 

What have you got to lose?

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Praise The Lord Anyway

Psalm 150:6, Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord.

The real beginning of my faith started years ago. Some might say it was a coincidence, or nonsense. I believe that it was the hand of God.

Ephesians 1:3, blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places in Christ.

There was a book with the name, Praise the Lord anyway. It floated around a couple of dozen people in my wife’s family for two or three years, and no one even started to read it. So, my mother-in-law gave it to me.

I started to read the book that evening and did not put it down until I read it all. At that point I made up my mind to start doing what the book said as much as I possibly could. It literally changed my life.

John 4:14, God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must Worship in spirit and Truth.

After following this idea for several months, I started to get a little discouraged. On a dark cloudy day, as I was driving home from a really bad day at work, I hit the bottom.

In my misery and desperation, I called out in a loud voice, God if you’re real show me. At that moment I saw an explosion of light that was brighter than anything I ever saw. As I said it was a dark cloudy day so that light really was a miracle.

My body was like a dead battery that suddenly got a full charge. I don’t really know the exact things that happened the first few minutes, because I was crying too much. I don’t even know how I got home.

Well, my friends, my life changed drastically at that point 50 years ago. I must admit it started slow, but it grew every year. When you stop to realize that the Lord God Almighty is in charge, and that His decisions are better than yours, it gets a lot easier. I don’t tell you this story because I believe it was something special that happened to me only, I believe it happens to many people who ask the Lord God Almighty to give them knowledge of His presence.

 I have become friends with dozens of people over the years that have had their own version of an experience with the Almighty God. Kind of a funny thing when people get desperate enough, they call on God. It’s too bad we don’t all smarten up sooner and call on Him when things are good because they will get better.

When you talk to God, you must be sincere. You cannot treat Him as a get out of jail card, and forget about Him after He helps you.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed, and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I Repent of my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank you, My Lord Jesus. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

God's Promises Sunday

 

Unfulfilled Desires

Romans 8:28, And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

satan Works tirelessly to get as many followers as he can. After thousands of years of experience, he is not one we can deal with on our own.

Hebrews 11:6, but without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

satan does not want you to read and know the word of God. If we don’t know the truth, he can lie to us and we wouldn’t know it until it was too late.

satan can create pictures of failure and fear of just about anything you can name. He tries to use your mind to lose faith in God, and on God’s mercy and love.

In the mind games satan plays, he tries to get people to be unhappy and dissatisfied with their life. He convinces people they are victims in life because God hates them, because they sinned. He also plants the seed that God will not forgive them. Another lie.

Another weapon satan uses is our dreams and desires. He makes many people so disgusted and miserable, that they blame God and lose whatever Faith they had. It’s like the old line about moving the goalposts.

The best way to conquer satan is to ask our lord for help. Meditate on the Bible every day, even for just 15 minutes. Ask Almighty God to take total control of your life, and He will. The Holy Spirit will help you and guide you in the way you should go. True happiness comes from knowing and serving the lord.

Matthew 22: 36-37, Jesus said to him. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you suffered and died on the cross and rose again from the dead. I believe you did this for my salvation. I ask you to forgive all my sins and to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the greatest gift anyone ever received, and that is salvation.

Praise The Lord

Amen!

End Of Days

2 Timothy 3:1-5, You must understand this, that in the last days distressing times will come. For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, inhuman, implacable, slanderous, profligate, brutes, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the outward form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid them!

God Almighty loves us so much, He gave us His word by inspiring many writers over hundreds of years. It is a complete set of instructions to obtain eternal life with Him.

Matthew 24:6-7, and you will hear of wars and rumors of War; see that you are not alone; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For Nation will rise against Nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 

The Bible has been 100% accurate on hundreds of prophecies. Not one has been wrong. There are many more to come. You must ask yourself, if hundreds have been 100% accurate so far, doesn’t it stand to reason the rest will happen as written?

The Bible is given to us to help us get eternal life. It is full of God’s love for us. He sent the Lord Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Without the Lord Jesus, we could never be forgiven.

Revelation 1:3, blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

Our Father God also sent the Holy Spirit to help us and guide us in how we should go. Almighty God did all of this to save us and told us what to expect. What more could He do without interfering with our Free Will?

Matthew 24- 33, when you see all these things, you know that He is near, at the very gates.

Read the book of Revelation. Don’t worry about the symbolisms because they were written in a totally different culture and time. You will still see the facts and you could get the symbolism if you want to go check it out further. The only thing almighty God didn’t tell us is when.

Since we don’t know when, it would be a great idea to seek the Lord Jesus Christ right now. It could happen in the blink of an eye. Where will you go? God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed, and by shedding your blood you washed away all my sins. Your death and resurrection made it possible for me to have salvation. I confess all my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank you, My Lord Jesus Christ. 

Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Live Forever

Genesis 1:27, so God created humankind in His image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.

We were created in God’s image; the Bible tells us so. Since God is a spirit, we are spirits. We live in an earthly body, because life is a test.

2 Thessalonians, 1: 8-9, In flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might.

There is a Heaven and a hell, the Bible says so. During our life on Earth, we use our God-given free will to decide where we will spend eternity.

People find it impossible to believe the truth of God’s word. Either because of pride, or insistence of depending on themselves, they reject God’s word.

Then you have many others that are dazzled by the things of the world. They’re so into the world they do not hear the truth.

Galatians 6:8, If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the spirit, you will reap eternal life from the spirit.

A smaller number of people hear and believe. They call on the Lord Jesus Christ to be their Savior. Even though they have a bumpy road in life, they still believe.

John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.

Whatever group you decide to follow, the truth is the truth. Denying the truth does not change the facts. Another truth is, you are the one who decides where you will spend eternity. choose wisely.

John 5:23-24, anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Very truly I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes Him who sent me as eternal life and does not come under judgment but has passed from death to life. 

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed, and by shedding your blood you washed away all my sins. Your death and resurrection made it possible for me to have salvation. I confess all my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank you, My Lord Jesus Christ.

God’s Timing

Galatians 6:9, let us not weary while doing good for in due season we shall reap if we don’t lose heart.

Today I’d like to talk about a problem most of us have. That problem concerns patience, faith, trust, and just plain old waiting on God.

Whether we pray for someone else or for ourselves, waiting for the manifestation of what we pray for can be very difficult. The more you want something, the harder it seems to get.

What we don’t realize is that our impatience can sometimes lead to doubt. Lack of faith or doubt block God and what he is asked by us to do. If we wait long enough, and that is usually because we don’t get out of the way and let God do it, we sometimes make the fatal mistake of trying to do it on our own. This spells disaster. 

1Corinthians 1:7, so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

What we must get into our heads is the fact that God Almighty has a plan for each of us. The key to answering prayer besides faith, is to get out of the way. God’s plan for each of us was put into effect before there even was an Earth. His plan for each of His creation was unbeatable and beyond our imagination.

God knows our needs and our wants. His plan was designed to take care of everything. He put Desires in our hearts, and waits for us to act on it, ask and step aside. If you think you’re waiting too long for God to do His part, think about how long God waits for you to do your part.

 When you ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and believe enough to stay out of it, God goes to work. Remember, He operates in the spiritual World. He starts to line everything up and bring it all together. When it comes together you have what you ask. Take the human body for example. Each cell takes its turn in the proper sequence to function properly with all the other cells. That’s how God’s plan works. Everything at the right time. The timing is perfect.

You may think you’re too old to wait for God’s timing, but you aren’t. I found out a long time ago that a year of God’s plan is so much better than a lifetime of mine. God sees the whole picture coming including the perfect result. We only see our nose. Which plan do you want to pick? Remember the old saying “timing is everything! God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and by shedding your blood you washed away all my sins. Your death and Resurrection made it possible for me to have salvation. I confess all my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank you, 

My Lord Jesus Christ. 

Praise The Lord!

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Witnessing For Christ

Matthew 5:16, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.

If you were to ask the average church-going Christian about witnessing for Jesus, they would probably tell you that they think they should, but they have a difficult time doing it. Most people think the only way to witness for Christ is to ring doorbells and pass out tracks. I’m not saying this is wrong, it is just one way, and it doesn’t work very well with some people.

I once told a story about a couple I had known for a long time. As you well know, when you see somebody, they ask you how everything is going but they don’t really care. I know when someone asks that they don’t expect a real answer. They should never ask me, because I will break the unwritten rule and actually tell them.

Well getting back to this couple. When I mentioned my ministry, you would think I was talking about the social life of a germ. They couldn’t be less interested and changed the subject with the speed of light, but it didn’t faze me. The brief meeting became even briefer because they obviously were uncomfortable.

When I first started this ministry, I asked the Holy Spirit to guide me and tell me what to say. and allow Him to do the rest. Part of that was finding the right people to hear the message. I believe that if you’re reading this message now, it is part of His plan.

Getting back to the couple I spoke about. It was a few weeks after that that I received a phone call from the man. He asked me how he could find me online. I told him, that was all I said about it. A month or two later I received another call. This time they told me that they read almost all of the messages I had written. What a change of hearts. 

To make a long story short, it shows me that the Holy Spirit is working. He inspires me and He will inspire you. When you feel the urge in your heart, start talking to Him to find out what it is He’s really trying to tell you. You would be surprised at how much you really start to believe. Just takes a little matter of time and believe it or not you will start acting the way your heart leads you, and by doing good, exhibiting to the rest of the world the reflection of the light of Jesus.

Daniel 12:3, and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you,

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed, and by shedding your blood you washed away all my sins. Your death and resurrection made it possible for me to have salvation. I confess all my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank you, My Lord Jesus Christ. 

Praise The Lord!

God's Promises Sunday

How Deep Is Love

John 3:16, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

As human beings having a free will, we don’t realize the responsibility and accountability that comes with it.

When you go deeper into the meaning of things in the Bible, you begin to see things you don’t realize when you read the Bible like a book. Here are some things to really think about.

Ephesians 5:20, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When we live for the world, we break God’s heart. We are committing spiritual adultery. The thing that was created takes the place of the Creator in our hearts, thus becoming a false god.

God’s love for us is unconditional, our love is conditional based on our faith and obedience. If we really understood what that means, we would love God with all our hearts.

Exodus 2:5, you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me.

 That reference was to idols and false gods. When we refuse to thank almighty God for His blessings, He will not allow us to enjoy those blessings. How long would you give gifts of great value to someone who does not acknowledge the gifts?

Think about this. The greatest judgment almighty God can bring against us, is to let us do everything our way. That my friend would lead to eternal judgment.

Psalm 103:2, bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

Faith and trust in almighty God is not a game, and we cannot afford to have the attitude that sin is okay because God will forgive it. Repeated sin can lead to a seared conscience, and inability to seek forgiveness.

When you read the Bible, you find out that our Lord Jesus Christ taught Love and forgiveness, All the time. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed, and by shedding your blood you washed away all my sins. Your death and Resurrection made it possible for me to have salvation. I confess all of my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank you, My Lord Jesus Christ. 

Praise The Lord!
