The days declare the end is coming Jesus is returning
in our time and He is coming quickly, suddenly as a thief in the night. You will have no time to prepare for His
coming after He appears you must be prepared and ready to meet the Lord in the
air.
You must understand that being a true Christian is
more than just tossing the name of Jesus around a few times while you go
through the motion of speaking his name and having a form of religious worship. It is more than attending a church group
every week where you are entertained in your flesh by a church choir or band of
musicians who have practiced for hours just to make the perfect performance for
you. It is more than sitting for an
hour and a half listening to a charismatic modern day speaker sell you positive
thinking messages of how to get anything and everything from God you want. While leaving out the fact that you must
repent of your sins, turn from your sinning, your old sinful heart must die to
your desire to sin, you must be born again in the newness of the image of Jesus
Christ and you must have a new sin free heart to live and walk in His Holy Spirit
Every day and hour you must be able through Him and
His power in you to bear your cross for Him as He carried His for you.
These charismatic modern day messengers of the lies of
Satan and the doctrines of men will never tell you that you must become so in
love with Jesus whose name you mention only once in a while when you pray for
something you want from God, they will not warn you of the dangers of your dyeing
in your sins and going to a devils hell fire for all eternity.
Theirs is a modern day philosophy one world order all
are equal, politically correct no feelings hurt everybody live it the way you
feel it all-inclusive everybody is going to heaven doctrine of all roads lead
to heaven and none to hell.
Jesus never preached a once saved always saved modern
thinking gospel of comfort in your sins and having everything you want to pleasure
your flesh from God. He preached the old fashioned word of God
suffering for the cause of Christ and the word of God, repent be born again of
the Holy Ghost or perish in your sins was His message and still is.
He preached that we must love God deeply with our
whole heart, mind, body and soul and have His Holy Spirit living in us guiding
us to live by every word spoken by the mouth of God. We cannot rely on the doctrines of men and
the lusts of our flesh to give us endurance in this war of Satan against our bodies
and souls.
In order to be saved so that we can overcome the hard
severe tempting, trials, testing’s and tribulations of Satan and our own flesh and
endure to the end. We must know Jesus
and have a very personal relationship with Him. Calling yourself Christian and practicing
religion will not be enough for it will not get you victory over Satan, sin,
death and hell and into God’s heaven.
So are you really ready for the coming of Jesus? Perhaps you say you are a Christian and
because you say it that makes you ready but I ask are you ready? Is it possible for a Christian to miss the
calling up of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ? Is it possible for a Christian to fall by
the wayside lose their love for God and be deceived and defeated by the forces
of evil.
I think yes.
Why do I think yes?
Because Jesus warned us that in the last days false Christs,
false teachers and false prophets would arise in the church and would deceive many. He said because of the love for sin the love
of many would become cold.
Sin in our lives will never give us power to overcome
Satan and the world in fact sin will work the very opposite it will have power
over us and keep us under the control of Satan defeating us in every way until
it completely destroys us in this world and in the world to come separates us
from God forever.
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false
prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
Matthew 24:24
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall
be saved.” Matthew 24:13
“Jesus said, “And because iniquity
shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12
The hardest task for preachers of the true full gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ in today’s generation of luke warm, cold backslidden
Christians is to preach the truth to them.
They have believed so many lies and false doctrines of
men and devils that their hearts have become so hardened to the truth that they
can’t handle the truth when they hear it.
Satan is so successful at twisting the truth of Holy
Scriptures and deceiving them with half-truths and lies concerning God’s word
that many who profess themselves to be Christians are a greater threat and enemy
to the true church of Jesus Christ and the men and women having the true call
of God upon them. Religious Christians
are bigger threat to the preaching of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ than atheists
and unbelievers.
It is so much easier to preach the gospel to unbelievers,
agnostics and atheists than it is to preach to those Christians caught up in half-truths
and lies concerning the Holy Scriptures.
It is the hardest thing in the world to instruct or
warn those who have just a little knowledge of the Scriptures and won’t bother
to seek out the truth of them for themselves.
So many professing Christians in today’s world love
the world and the sins of it more than God that they have no room in their
heart to love God, study His word, obey His instructions or truly follow Jesus.
They had rather listen to the voice of Satan and his
little demon spirits who follow him than to hear the voice of God speaking from
His holy word and the Holy Spirit of God speaking from the lips of His called,
sanctified anointed pastors and preachers instructing them and warning them to
be careful who they believe and follow.
They had rather question the word of God in obedience
to that little voice of Satan who first enters their mind with his words of
doubt and then fills their heart with it,” Yea, hath God said”. Concerning
something that God said was sin and abomination in His sight and warns us all
to stay away from because the wages of sin is death.
It is not a matter of ye hath God said it is a matter
yes God commands.
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the
field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1
Every time God says, “Come out from among them be separate
from them and don’t touch that unclean thing He means it!
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will
receive you,” 2 Corinthians 6:17
There is no room for compromise, inclusion or
acceptance of what God says is sin and abomination in His sight. There is only God’s command to observe and
obey His laws of righteousness or perish in our sins.
“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your
sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your
sins." John 8:24
God recognizes no political correctness no equality
with sin. When it comes to sinners God
is not concerned about whether He hurts our feelings, God through His Holy
Spirit warns us all convicts us all of sin and commands repentance, turning
away from and separating ourselves from sin which leads to wickedness and in
the end death and eternal punishment of the wicked soul in a devils lake of
hell fire.
Jesus warned us to beware of false Christs, false teachers,
false preachers and false prophets that would be numerous and very challenging
to the truth of His gospel in the last days.
There are many voices flowing through our ears many
doctrines being expounded to us and God leaves it up to us to determine the
truth from the lies Jesus warns us not to be deceived.
We had better read and search the Holy Scriptures for
ourselves measuring everything we hear and see with God’s word. We had better be keen in listening for the
voice of the Holy Ghost for it is He who will teach us and interpret the word
of God to us only through the written word.
It is He who will reveal the truth to us and expose the lies and the
liars.
God sends preachers and prophets to warn and encourage
from the Holy Scriptures, He sends pastors to feed and nourish His church with
His word. They are never sent to
interpret it from their own view point or form their own doctrines or opinions from
it only to preach it.
God wrote the Holy Bible and only the Holy Ghost can
and will interpret it to those who sincerely read it and search out its truths
for themselves.
In reality there are only two kinds
of people in this world.
There is God hating world loving, sin
loving, truth hating people so caught up in the ways and pleasures of this
world that they have no room for God in their lives and don’t want anything to
do with him.
There is people who call themselves
Christians but they are cold,luke warm, world loving, sin loving pleasure seeking
confessing God with their mouths but their hearts are hardened against His word
and they are far from Him and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, “And because iniquity
shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12
Brothers and sisters the Holy
Scriptures warn us that our God is a very Jealous God He will not allow us to
share our love with sin and the world.
He commands us to love Him with our whole heart, mind, body and soul and
keep all His righteous laws and commandments which are good to the saving of
our souls.
“If
ye love me, keep my commandments.” John
14:15
Seeing then that there is only two kinds of people we
can be and that we are in one group or the other.
We are either living the truth or living the lie. We love God and hate sin or we love sin and
hate God.
We cannot love both and live in the way of both.
“Love not the world, neither the things that are
in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
him.” 1 John 2:15
The lives we
live daily will testify of which group we are part of we cannot fool the world
for the world knows its own, we cannot fool Satan for Satan knows whom he has
deceived with his lies.
And we cannot fool God because He knows our heart
better than anyone.
We only fool ourselves if we think we can live double
lives for we cannot serve two masters we will love the one and hate the other or
we will be devoted to the one we love the most.
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate
the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Matthew 6:24
It is time we search our own heart and arrive at the
answer of which group we live in, whose we are and whom we worship and serve.
Prophets, pastors, preachers and teachers called by
God sanctified by the will of God, anointed by the power of His Holy Spirit can
only warn us of the consequences of listening to Satan’s lies and doctrines of
men they cannot determine the condition of our heart for they cannot see inside
of us.
But know that God sees the heart of every living soul
nothing is hid from Him.
When we come
down to the end of this life’s journey and by the fact that we are all eternal
living souls created by God to live forever in one place or the other and there
is also only two places for us to go after death.
Heaven or hell.
And our decision of which group we choose to live in
on earth will very much determine where we live in eternity.
If your journey were to end right now where would you
go? Only you can make that decision.
I made mine many years ago and have never regretted
the decision to follow Jesus that I made and it is that choice that keeps me
enduring today.
Be assured on
the other side of the grave God will make His decision based upon your decision
and He will give you your eternity according to which group you have lived your
life with and in and by your choices you have made.
Backsliding Christian it is time for your return to
God it is time for you to lay down your sins take up your cross daily and
follow Jesus.
It is time for revival in your life!!!
In the words of a great man of God who preached the
word of God like it is written.
William Ashley
"Billy" Sunday
(November 19, 1862 – November 6, 1935) was an American athlete who, after being
a popular outfielder in baseball's National League during the 1880s, became the most
celebrated and influential American evangelist during the first two decades of the
20th century.
“A revival does two things. First it returns the
Church from her backsliding and second, it causes the conversion of men and women;
and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell
the devil seems to cast over the Church today!” (Billy Sunday)

SECULAR HISTORY RECORDS IT, BIBLE HISTORY RECORDS IT, and
uncountable numbers of people of all races all classes rich and poor. Educated,
uneducated, illiterate, handicapped and those having all of their bodily
functions have testified to marvelous supernatural miraculous works of God in
their lives.
Amazing miraculous, impossible things happen every day in
this world and in someone’s life how much more proof could God show of Himself.
Anyone who cannot see the hands of God in all of this must
be totally blind, totally deaf and totally dumb.
Human logic will never see God only faith in the works we
see God doing will reveal God presence.
Man’s wisdom is so limited and finite that He can never
comprehend God through it.
No, no, no a thousand times no your logic will never prove
God to you. It is only through faith in
His marvelous works that you will see Him and once you have seen Him and
experienced His power and love in your life you can never deny Him.
God has made it so that only your spirit in faith can see
Him and he has given everyone a little bit of faith at their birth even a small
child has enough faith to sense right from wrong and the presence of God in
their conscience.
The Holy Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible
to please God. “But without faith it is
impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Hebrews 11:6
There is nothing that anyone can do no scientific study experiments
or human works will prove God to them who do not believe in Him because of His glorious
power and works they can see.
Multitudes upon multitudes have gone to their graves with
their testimony to the fact of Jesus Christ.
Thousands upon thousands in every generation have been severally
persecuted, slaughtered, murdered and killed for their testimony of Jesus
Christ. Their hearts, minds and lives
radically changed by this man called Jesus who proves Himself God Almighty.
None would deny Him even though it meant their physical death.
Their lives living proof that they had seen God many with
their natural eyes such as the apostle Paul on the road to Damascus to persecute,
imprison and kill Christians of his day but most see him through spiritual eyes
of faith because of the works they see Him do.
Works so wondrous that no other man who has ever lived did do, could do
or have ever done. Lives so radically
changed in a moment’s time after their encounter with Jesus that those who knew
them, have known them or would ever know them could not deny the change they
saw in them.
I being one of them meeting Jesus some 55 years ago do
testify that I have seen God do so many wondrous things in my life and my family’s
and in the lives of many others whom I know and have known in the past. Do testify that I know, that I know Jesus is
the manifestation of God in the flesh though my physical eyes I have never seen
him His Holy Spirit working in me confirms the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
are one God confirming Himself Almighty God to the world by the miracles and
wonders of the impossible which He does do in the lives of all who will
recognize Him and believe in him.
Yes Jesus is real and truly is the one God, Lord and savior
of all who will open their eyes, hearts and minds to see Him by believing the
miraculous works that He has done, He does and is doing in the lives of
multitudes upon multitudes who cannot deny Him and those who see those
undeniable works have no excuse for their unbelief and blindness of stupidity.
Those who have any common sense at all cannot and will not
deny that Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
And those who through the blindness of their minds and
hearts will not even seek Him. Those
who through the logic of men who will not believe in a person whom they cannot
see in physical body. Even though they
are willing to believe in unproven theories, doctrines and lies of men and
demons. Who do deny Him in spite of all evidence,
facts and proof of His miraculous works in the earth, in His creation and in
the lives of all who come to Him, will one day bow in shame before Him and
confess that Jesus Christ is indeed Lord God of all.
Not understanding in their little finite minds that if God
were to show Himself to them in all of His holiness and total righteousness their
eyes would burn out of their sockets because of the brightness of His glory
they could not look upon Him as He is.
(Acts 9:1-18)
This is why God only allows us human creatures to see Him
through Jesus, His word written in the Holy Bible or His glorious works in the
world.
If this is not enough proof of the existence of God the
heavenly Father. Jesus Christ His Son and the Holy Ghost, if one cannot believe
because of what they see him doing in the world then they will just have to die
in unbelief and be convinced on the other side of the grave.
Therefore we will believe in Him because of His wondrous
works of creation and the works we see Him do when we see Him do the impossible
that no man can do.
We will believe in Him because of His Holy Spirit who confirms
His presence in us.
Or we will reject all these undeniable proofs He gives us
and deny Him to our own peril.
“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you,
and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the
Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?” John 14:9
“Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me,
thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet
have believed.” John 20:29
“Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father
in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.”
John 14:11
“so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow-- of those
who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth—“ Philippians 2:10
“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every
knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” Romans 14:11
