They Say That Today, Oct 21 Is The End Of The World, The Rapture Will Occur

I was listening to the morning news and the so called preacher who predicted the end of the word earlier this year is back and he now says that today is actually the end of the world. So I decided to repost the Truth from the last time this false prophet spoke. It is our Father’s Truth that sets us free and it is His Truth that brings peace.  

Take notice! I tell you a mystery (a secret truth, an event decreed by the hidden purpose or counsel of God). We shall not all fall asleep [in death], but we shall all be changed (transformed). In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed). 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

The seventh angel then blew [his] trumpet, and there were mighty voices in heaven, shouting, The dominion (kingdom, sovereignty, rule) of the world has now come into the possession and become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ (the Messiah), and He shall reign forever and ever (for the eternities of the eternities)! Revelation 11:15

For this we declare to you by the Lord's [own] word, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall in no way precede [into His presence] or have any advantage at all over those who have previously fallen asleep [in Him in death]. 1 Thessalonians 4:15

These four verses show us plainly that there will be no rapture today. If there were a pre-tribulation rapture today, then these verses would be incorrect and the last 3 1/2 years, which would have had to have been the Great Tribulation, were pretty easy to endure. Sure the economy has been bad, but it has in no way been what Jesus tells us that it will be in Revelation.

The Truth is that before we can go to be with Jesus, our brothers and sisters who have died in Him have to be raised from the dead first. We who are living in Christ can in no way precede the dead in Christ. The dead in Christ cannot be raised from the dead until the last trumpet is sounded. We are plainly told that the last trumpet is the Seventh Trumpet, and when it sounds, Jesus returns to take over the rule of the earth. The living in Christ are not taken away seven years before Jesus returns. Where would we go, because according to the Bible, we could not go to be with Jesus? If we did, then we would have preceded the dead in Christ to be with Him. So relax, there is no pre-tribulation rapture today. The Truth is that many false prophets are going to arise before Jesus returns and they will prey on people. The Truth is what sets us free from their lies and attacks and the Truth is Jesus and He is alive and active in us. 

Eternal Life For All?

[Just as] You have granted Him power and authority over all flesh (all humankind), [now glorify Him] so that He may give eternal life to all whom You have given Him. John 17:2

We are shown here that our Father gave Jesus control over all flesh. Jesus tells us that our Father did this so that He could give eternal life to all who have been given to Him. Can I get an amen from the choir here? The Truth is our Father gave all flesh to Jesus so that all flesh could have eternal life. Hey I am not misquoting this, Jesus said that all have been given to Him and He will give eternal life to all who have been given to Him.

Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

Every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord and isn’t that what we are told that must happen for a person to be saved?

Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord and Jesus will give eternal life to all who He has been given and He has been given all flesh! People eternity is going to be filled will all flesh. Some flesh will be transformed to be just like Jesus and we will rule and reign with Him forever, 1 Corinthians 15:52. Some flesh will be raised up from Hades to be made like the angels, these shall be the guests, Matthew 22:10 & 30. And some flesh will remain just as we are now, except they will never die. We know this because in Revelation 20 we are never told that those who are living, those who are not raised from the dead, when our Father comes to the earth are ever judged. 

Jesus was super successful by going to the Cross and He will save all flesh from the Lake of Fire. He will allow us to come to know our Father and we will live forever with Him in glory.

Now, don't get me wrong, this Truth in no way limits what we are to preach on this earth. There is a Hades, Luke 16:23. It is a place of discipline and we are to go into all of the world and preach to all of the people, Mark 16:15. We are to tell them that the Kingdom of our Father is for them right now. We are to tell them the Truth that will set them free and we are to show grace to all, especially our enemies. We will not get to all, Jesus tells us that many will be called, not that all will be called, Matthew 20:16. A few who we are used to tell are chosen to be the Bride of Christ. The others we tell are called to be our guests at the Wedding Feast, Matthew 22:10. These people will first have to go through Hades to arrive at the Wedding Feast, 1 Corinthians 3:15. But amen, they will be allowed to attend. 

The Anti-Christ's Sermon

For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane. 2 Timothy 3:2

I was listening to a national radio talk show a couple of days ago and the host was talking about how everything is going to change with the world in the near future. He was talking about economies crashing and societies completely falling apart. Yet he proclaimed that he had the answer and the answer to stop all the impending doom, was ourselves. Yep, he was saying that we have the power on our own to stop all the catastrophes. He said that we can change everything if we only come together and just begin to do what it right. He briefly mentioned God in his address but he never mentioned Jesus. His message and his answer to all the worlds problems was us. He spoke of how he had prayed and that he had searched for the Truth and now he was ready to lead us from our own self destruction. Our Father was sprinkled ever so slightly through his message, he does not and did not deny that God had a role to play, but the main course of what he was saying was all man. According to what he was selling it was up to us to do on our own what God wanted us to do. He was saying that we had a choice to act or not to act. According to him we have the responsibility and if we first act, then God will act. He went on to say that if we do what is right, future generations will build museums that will honor our heroic efforts. 

Look at what our Father had Timothy write about the end times: lovers of self, self-centered, proud, boasters, and arrogant. The message of what this guy was saying on the radio is the message of the anti-christ. The anti-christ will speak of glorious things and he will do it better than anyone else ever has, Revelation 13:2. He will speak of the power of man and he will cause people to glory in what they believe that they have done. It will all look and sound very religious. Our Father will be spoken of but man will be the center and end of every proclamation. The anti-christ will cause people to be blasphemous as they boast of what they have done for the Lord and how they have chosen to do the right things. They will brag about how they have prayed enough and that they have worked enough. They will arrogantly proclaim that they are working the works that will allow God to move in this world. The anti-christ and his followers will act and sound very religious, but Jesus will proclaim that He never knew them, Matthew 7:23. 

When the people called Jesus good, He proclaimed to them that only God was good, Mark 10:18. Jesus told the people that it was God in Him doing all the works, John 14:10. The anti-christ’s message will be that we do the works that allow our Father to work in this world. The True message of Christ is that our Father is doing all of His works through us and that He is greater in us and that without Him we can do nothing. The Truth is Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Author and Finisher of our faith. Jesus should be the message with the focus on His power fully working through us and enabling us to do all things.  

How Many People Are Killed At Armageddon?

Revelation 14:19-20 tell us how much blood will flow at the Battle of Armageddon.

So I used my very basic, and I do mean basic, understanding of Math and here is what I came up with.

3,097,600            Yards in 1 square mile

619,520,000        Yards in 200 square miles

1,858,560,000     Yards in 200 cubic miles 

3,717,120,000     Yards in 200 Cubic miles 6 feet deep

202                       Gallons in a square yard

18,401,584           Gallons of blood in 200 square miles 6 feet deep

1.5                        Gallons of blood in average person

12,267,723           Number of people to fill 200 square miles 6 feet deep

3,500,000,000      Half of Earth’s population (estimated number of people left after 3 1/2 years of wrath)

0.0035                  Percent of people gathered to Armageddon to be destroyed

58”                        Height in inches of average horse bridle

I am sure that there are math major’s that will be able to clarify this formula far better than I, but even if I 

am 100% short, that still means that less than 1% of the worlds population will be gathered to 

Armageddon to be destroyed. That shows us the power of salvation during the last 3 1/2 years of this

age in our history! Over 99% of the people who are here right before Jesus returns have not taken the Mark of the Beast! 

How Do We Wash Each Other's Feet?

If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it] to wash one another's feet. John 13:14

Jesus said that we are obligated to wash each other’s feet, yet we never read about the disciples going around and washing other people’s feet. Why would Jesus make such a bold statement of what we are to do, then we never read in the Bible about it being done again? The answer is that it was done all of the time and we do read about it. The act of washing feet, the thing that we are obligated to do, isn’t taking water and soap and washing a persons feet, it is interceding for them and forgiving their sins. 

Jesus said to him, Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you [My disciples] are clean, but not all of you. John 13:10

Once we are saved we become clean. There is no longer anything that can ever separate us from our Father, we can never loose our cleanliness, Romans 11:29. We will never be left or forsaken by God once we are grafted into Jesus. Dirt can get on us, but that dirt will not separate us from our Father. Dirty feet can cause problems though. So what did Jesus tell us to do? He told us to intercede for each other and forgive each other. In other words, wash each other’s feet. We keep the dirt off of each other by interceding for each other.

For if you forgive people their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Matthew 6:14

Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]. 1 Peter 4:8

Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive]. Colossians 3:13

What is really powerful about washing feet, is that Jesus doesn’t tell us to wash our own feet, but to wash other people’s feet. So many are always asking God to forgive them for what they have done, when Jesus tells us to always be forgiving others. We are kept clean by interceding for others, not because we intercede for ourselves. Read the Lord’s prayer, we are forgiven because we forgive, not because we ask for ourselves to be forgiven. Love covers up our sins. They are not covered because we ask for them to be forgiven. We are forgiven by our Father because we have been empowered with the Holy Ghost to forgive others. We have conquered sin in our own lives because Christ is within us causing us to love others and intercede on the behalf of others.

Don’t believe this? Go and try to find the scriptures that tell us that we are to ask to be forgiven. You will find that time and time again Jesus tells us that our forgiveness is based on us forgiving others. Now thank God that we have Jesus in us causing us to forgive, so there is no worries whatsoever. Jesus will absolutely cause us to forgive others, so that we can absolutely be forgiven!

Can We Stop Bearing Fruit?

To Hear Audio: Can We Stop Bearing Fruit?

Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. John 15:2

This verse has been used by preachers my whole life to threaten us with. But let’s dissect the Truth and see if this verse should frighten us or encourage the daylights out of us. The first Truth to be considered here is that to be one with Christ is a gift. Salvation is a free gift from God, Ephesians 2:8. 

The second Truth that our Father tells us is that He never takes His gifts back once He gives them. For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.] Romans 11:29

The third Truth to consider, if someone wants to threaten you that you may stop bearing fruit can be found in Ezekiel 36:27: And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them.

Now taking all of these verses together we can see that if we are saved, we are only saved because our Father gave it to us. And our Father will never take it back, because He never withdraws a gift once He gives it. We also can see that because we have been given the gift of salvation, or in other words the gift of being one with Jesus, that our Father will place His Spirit within us and cause us to bear fruit. So there is absolutely no chance that if we are saved that we can ever stop bearing fruit and be cast out of our perfect union with Christ. 

So why did Jesus say this? Jesus often spoke in parables and in ways that seemed to confound. He did this because the Truth is not for everyone to know, Mark 4:10-12. It is not a lie that if a born again person would stop bearing fruit, that they would be cast out of Jesus. But the greater Truth, the whole Truth, is that it is impossible for a true child of God to not be used by our Father to bear fruit. The wolves in sheep’s clothing will use this verse to try to keep the focus on man and not on Jesus. They will use it for fear instead of sharing the glorious Truth that it is impossible for us to not continually be used by our Father to bear luscious and everlasting fruit. 

John 15:2 is a glorious verse and there is no fear in it at all. The Truth is that our Father will constantly do whatever is needed so that He can always cause us to grow and be used in more and more powerful ways!  

We Possess And Give Unconditional Forgiveness

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Romans 4:6-7 

Our Father tells us that we are righteous without ever doing anything to be righteous. Our Father forgives us our sins regardless of what we have done. This is why we are blessed. We have complete freedom and redemption and we never did anything to earn them. We didn’t pray to earn this freedom. We didn’t attend church to receive it. We didn’t even perform the work of asking for it. It was all just grace, our Father just decided, for whatever reason, to give it to us. The glorious Truth is that we did absolutely nothing on our own, there was no work at all that we ever did, that brought this glorious state of righteousness on us.

Now here is the power of this Truth for us, we now have the mind of Christ, 1 Corinthians 2:16. So if this is how our Father acted towards us, this is how our mind now acts towards others. This is why we are able to live in so much peace, even when all Hell is breaking out around us. We forgive before people ask us to forgive them. We are empowered by the very thoughts of our Father to intercede for others whether they know it or not. Peoples sins are covered and forgiven by us regardless of what they have done and apart from any work that they have done. 

Our Father causes us to sow this unconditional forgiveness so that we reap this unconditional forgiveness. You and I are now empowered to think and act just like God. We are our Father’s instruments of forgiveness. He uses us to forgive all, apart from any works that they have done. This is our gift to them and this is what causes us to see beyond all the evil of the world and see the perfect righteousness of our Kingdom. 

We Are Perfectly Blessed To Be Perfectly Holy

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Ephesians 1:3-4

Our Father has held absolutely nothing back from us. We have been blessed with every blessing that He has. Everything that makes our Father God, has been given to us. Our Father gave everything to Jesus and then He made us one with Him, so that we too could have it all. 

Our Father chose for us to have all of His faith, all of His peace, all of His joy, all love, all glory, all wisdom, all knowledge, all forgiveness, all power, all hope, and all of His compassion. We are one with all of these things and everything else that our Father has right now. The Truth is that there is no waiting on all of these spiritual things. We have been blessed with all of them right now. Faith come from hearing this Truth and this Truth is what sets us free!

So many times a person will say, "yeah but that was Jesus, that is why He could do that" This belief is flat out wrong. The Truth is that we have everything and are one with everything that Jesus has and is. There is nothing that made Jesus Lord that our Father has not imparted to us. Our Father has held nothing back form us. He has made us one with all that He has right now, Galatians 2:20. And He has done this so that we can be just as perfect as Jesus is, Matthew 5:48. We have been born again into perfection through the grace of our Father. It's all a gift. It's all unearned and it's all operating in us right now. 

We are right now just as Holy and Blameless as Jesus. This is why our Father can use us right now just as powerfully as He uses Jesus, John 14:12. Christians are perfect because we have been chosen by God to be perfect. He has forgiven us all of our trespasses and in the process of His grace He has made us perfect as well. No in the power of our Father's might we go and serve the world, just as gloriously and victoriously as our Head, Jesus, serves the world! 

We Are Recession Proof

Stop toiling and doing and producing for the food that perishes and decomposes [in the using], but strive and work and produce rather for the [lasting] food which endures [continually] unto life eternal; the Son of Man will give (furnish) you that, for God the Father has authorized and certified Him and put His seal of endorsement upon Him. John 6:27

I then heard another voice from heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins, neither participate in her plagues. Revelation 18:4

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Matthew 6:25

Our Father plainly tells us that we are to not labor for earthly things. Jesus tell’s us to take no thought for food and clothing and that we are to come out of Babylon, the worlds economic and political system. How can we do these things? How is it that we can actually take no thought for food when we need food to live? How is it that we can live on this earth and not be part of its corrupt system? The answer is that we reap what we sow. Our Father is greater in us then anything that is in this world and He is causing us to sow things that are not of the world’s corruption. He is doing this through us  so that we can live apart from this world while we are still in this world.  

The sower sows the Word. Mark 4:14

Jesus answered him, If you would be perfect [that is, have that spiritual maturity which accompanies self-sacrificing character], go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; and come, be My disciple [side with My party and follow Me]. Matthew 19:21

External religious worship [ religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world. James 1:27

Judge not [neither pronouncing judgment nor subjecting to censure], and you will not be judged; do not condemn and pronounce guilty, and you will not be condemned and pronounced guilty; acquit and forgive and release (give up resentment, let it drop), and you will be acquitted and forgiven and released. Luke 6:37

The Holy Spirit causes us to share the Truth that sets people free. He causes us to give to those who we can receive nothing back from. Our Father drives us to the needy to be there for them as friends and He empowers us to forgive everyone everything! Because our Father does all of these things through us, we actually live in the perfect peace of taking no thought for the cares of this world. 

Remember this Truth: when Jesus called His disciples He had them leave their earthly jobs. He took them out of Babylon so that they could serve The Kingdom of God. Our Father had Paul serving mainly from prison cells or on the run. Yet all of the disciples were taken care of and rejoiced that they were not part of the worlds corrupt system. They had real peace and joy even though they were living in what the world would call hardships. Our Father never left them and He never forsook them and they were always taken care of because our Father always had them sowing His Heavenly possessions to others. They all reaped what our Father had them sow.   

You And I Are Now Blameless

According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Ephesians 1:4

And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One. John 17:22 

I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. John 17:23 

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 

Our Father chose us and we are holy and without blame before Him. God’s Truths are awesome! The Blood of Christ is working so strongly for us that we are now blameless. No work can justify what the Blood of Christ, shed on the cross, has so freely given us. The Holy Spirit gives us the strength and confidence in the Truth that through Christ we are living a life without any blame! 

We tend to talk about this lifestyle of perfection and blamelessness in the future tense, when Jesus returns. But the Truth that will set us free is that our Father is more than willing and able to cause us to live this way right now! We can never earn this perfection own our own, through our own efforts, but through Christ we freely have it. It’s an easy yoke to be borne, because we have been empowered to simply look unto Jesus to Author and Finish our faith! Through Christ we stand before our Father blameless, apart from any work, with free and complete redemption through the power of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! Our Father chose to have us because He is able and willing to do these glorious things through us! Our Father knew the way to make us glorious and holy, and our Father gave us the way, the Light, and the Truth, and Jesus is the only way!

"Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." 2 Corinthians 1:21-22

Asking To Be Filled With Our Father's Guarantee

For Podcast: Asking To Be Filled With Our Father's Guarantee

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed you were marked with Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, Who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 

If you don’t believe these verses that teach us that we are guaranteed eternal salvation, that we can never loose it, I want you to ask yourself this? When exactly were you filled with the Holy Ghost? If you cannot answer yourself with a specific time and place, a time when you knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that you were, then you need to get with God and ask Him why? I can tell you that for me it was at the Brentonel Church of Christ, when I was eleven years old, with my Aunt Linda, in a cold metal chair beside the baptismal, where I had just been dunked! My mom reached over, touched my lips, and I was filled! 

I had believed in Jesus before that night, but that was the time in my life that I was filled with the Holy Spirit. That is the exact moment that I realized that I was guaranteed eternity with our Father. If you have not had such an experience, if you struggle with what we have discussed in these postings, there is no condemnation here, just an honest question to ask yourself, have you been filled with the Holy Spirit? Our Father will reveal to you the answer! I have never met anyone who can tell me of an exact moment when they were baptized with the Holy Spirit, who ever questions their eternity. They don't question because the confidence of Jesus has been born into them. They have a guarantee that is directly of God! No wavering, no questioning, it’s just in them! And if it’s not in you, it can be, and it’s God’s will that it is. 

Our Father loves us so very much! He wants us to have no questions about who we are in Him and who He is within us. We should not be tossed to and fro and to insure that we aren't, our Father has given us Himself to bear witness with our spirits, so that we can be confident and bold in our eternal salvation! Don’t just take my word for it, go and read in the Book of Acts, every time the Holy Spirit came to men, there where no doubts! The baptism of the Holy Spirit brings confidence and boldness, because He bring assurance as He cries out from our hearts that God is our Father. If you are desiring this experience it is only because our Father is causing you to want it and that means that He will absolutely give it!

No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day. John 6:44

Father I ask You in Jesus’ Name, that all who read this study will know beyond any shadow of a doubt that they are eternally with You! That they know that they are preserved by You until the Day of Jesus’ return, the Day of Redemption! I thank You Father that they know that they are included in the exact same anointing that You gave to Jesus: which is Christ! I thank You Father that we all come into fellowship, with one heart, one accord, and one mind, as we are used by You to be doers of the Word! You are greater in us than anything that is in the World Father and Your will be done as You use us to do all things through Christ Who strengthens us!

The Wheat And The Chaff

His winnowing fan (shovel, fork) is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out and clean His threshing floor and gather and store His wheat in His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with fire that cannot be put out. Matthew 3:12

His winnowing shovel (fork) is in His hand to thoroughly clear and cleanse His [threshing] floor and to gather the wheat and store it in His granary, but the chaff He will burn with fire that cannot be extinguished. Luke 3:17

According to Wikipedia: Chaff is what is left of wheat fruit after the removal of the kernels.

Notice that chaff is actually part of the wheat, it is a coating of the wheat. Chaff is not another plant, it is part of the wheat. So our Father had John tell the people that the unusable part of us is going to be removed from us and burnt up. Our sin and all of our shortcomings and weaknesses will be thrown into the Lake of Fire and will be destroyed, eternally separated from us. The chaff of our life’s will never be able to return to us. The farmer doesn’t burn the wheat, just the unusable part of the wheat and that is what our Father is going to do for us.

But if any person's work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15

I was always taught that the chaff was those who never accepted Jesus as Lord. But that is not what our Father is having John tell us at all. Our Father is telling us that everything that does not glorify our Kingdom, our Father’s Kingdom, will be removed from us and only the good will remain. We all have chaff and it will all be removed from us and separated from us, never to return again.

Jesus Alone Is In Charge Of The Dead

And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead). Revelation 1:18

When Jesus raised Himself up, He said to her, Woman, where are your accusers? Has no man condemned you? She answered, No one, Lord! And Jesus said, I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on sin no more. John 8:10:11

For I am the Lord, I do not change; that is why you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. Malachi 3:6

Our Lord never changes and our Lord is Jesus. He alone holds the keys of death and Hades. This is really powerful because we see that when Jesus was confronted on this earth with a situation where He was to judge, He forgave and did not condemn. Remember this glorious Truth, Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Hebrews 13:8. Jesus forgave the adulterous woman, when the Law said that she should be stoned, and He never changes.

Jesus was crucified and when He died He went to Hades for 3 1/2 days. When He was there He preached to the captives and set them free, 1 Peter 3:19-20. What does all of this mean? We see the Truth that our Lord forgave the penalty of death to the living and we see that He forgave the penalty of death to the dead and Jesus never changes. Whenever our Lord was asked to judge He forgave and did not condemn and now all judgement has been placed under His control.

Even the Father judges no one, for He has given all judgment (the last judgment and the whole business of judging) entirely into the hands of the Son, John 5:22

If that doesn’t just set you free, I don’t know what will!

Kingdom Will Rise Against Kingdom (Sept 11)

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place; For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place; Matthew 24:6-8

A couple months ago a gunman in Norway killed almost 100 people by himself. The news reports are that the man believed that he must start a European civil war to remove Muslim’s from the continent. Tomorrow is the tenth anniversary of September 11, where radical Muslim’s believed that they must kill those who they have labeled to be infidels. Our Father clearly tells us the Truth that these kind of events must and will take place. These types of terror attacks are just the beginnings of kingdoms verses kingdoms. We are going to see so called “Christians” beginning to go after and attack Muslim’s and we are going to see Muslim’s continuing their attacks on non-muslims. These groups are not nations, but kingdom’s, they are ideologies, and they are going to begin to fight each other and with 24/7 news coverage, we will hear about every little detail of what is happening.

Here is what brings us peace now: the Holy Spirit is always with us and because we are saved death has no grip on us, 1 Corinthians 15:55. While these terror attacks are horrible, they are relatively small. These terror acts are only the beginning’s of what will come during the Great Tribulation. Before the huge attacks, that will kill millions are allowed to come upon the earth, we as the Body of Christ, must first be empowered and used by our Father to serve in a way that will allow the world to say peace and safety.

When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:3

We are going to be empowered by our Father to do the works that Jesus was used to do and He will also empower us to do greater works, John 14:12. Our Father is going to use millions of us, all at one time and in every nation, to miraculously serve. We are going to be stronger in Christ’s power and might then we ever have before, Ephesians 5:27. We are going to be so glorious that the world will actually begin to say that there is real peace. Not only will we be empowered to serve as never before during the last 3 1/2 years of this age in earth’s history, we will be empowered with all of Jesus’ peace as we serve, John 14:27. The Great Tribulation will not bring us fear, but joy, because we will be able to see and believe as our Lord believes. We will know that the end is near and we will see the uncountable numbers of people who are being saved during these horrific events, Revelation 7:4-14,, and we will have the peace and joy of our Lord strengthening us.

The world is going to have an increased number of terror attacks and the news is going to show us images that will attempt to bring panic and fear. Then our Father is going to empower us with His end time anointing and the world will seem to come into a moment of peace and safety. Babylon, which is the worlds business and government leaders, will all take credit for what our Father is doing through us. When they do this, sudden destruction will come on them. However millions of people will be saved during this time of great tribulation, then our Lord will return. We are only at the beginning of the end, the power has not yet come on the church, but it will. Faith and peace comes for us by hearing the Truth and the Truth sets us free. Look for the anointing of the Church as an indicator of the end, not kingdom rising against kingdom.

Also the Truth for us is that the Holy Spirit empowers us to pray for them that curse us and He empowers us to bless them that despitefully use us, Luke 6:28. We have not been given a spirit that fears, but one that has faith, 2 Timothy 1:7. These are Truths that allow us to stand when the world is trembling. Pray for all that are believing a lie and earnestly seek our Father's help to set these people free. Our weapons are Spiritual and they are powerful in the bringing down of strongholds!
