IF TONIGHT WAS THE NIGHT.....ARE YOU READY?


RAPTURE. Its closer than you think!


"Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things. {Rev 1:19}

Just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."  For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. -- "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. {1Co 2:9-10 --Joh 16:13}

BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen. { Rev 1:7}

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. {1Th 4:13-17}

He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen. {Rev 22:20}


Come, Lord Jesus

HIS NAME MEANS "GOD WITH US"


EMMANUEL
God with us
Matthew 1:23



"Will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You; -  And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. - By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He [GOD] who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. {2Ch 6:18 - Joh 1:14 - 1Ti 3:16}


In these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. {Heb 1:2}


So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, "Peace be with you."  (20)  And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord. After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you."  (27)  Then He *said to Thomas, "Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."  (28)  Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" {Joh 20:19-20,26-28}


For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. {Isa 9:6}

EMPTY ME LORD, FILL ME WITH YOU!


LET THE LORD RUN YOUR DAY PLANNER, GIVE IT ALL TO HIM


From the moment you realize morning has arrived, even before placing your feet on the floor, greet Your Lord, Praise Him, and let it be HIS WILL how the day will progress. Give Him full access to your Daily Planner, your calendar, then leave it up to Him to guide your steps through the Holy Spirit. We all get a little panicked when we are not IN CHARGE. Here is a little secret; we have NEVER been in charge!! Ever! Take your hands OFF of the steering wheel. That's the whole idea here. Let Jesus drive. Trust and Obey, THAT is the way---


"The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." {Deu 31:8}


"If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.   I know, O LORD, that a man's way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps. {Exo 33:15, Jer 10:23}


The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way.  When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand. {Psa 37:23-24}


Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.  With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory.   For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. {Psa 73:23-24, Rom 8:38-39}

DISCERNMENT OF THESE LAST DAYS


FIVE NEEDED REALITIES FOR DISCERNMENT OF THESE LAST DAYS


On this first entry into the year 2020, I can think of no more appropriate message than the following wisdom provided by Brother Michael Snyder:





Amidst the increased intensity of the strangeness of this hour in history, the Bible also reveals the final weapon of the Devil. This great weapon is the Devil's fine-tuning of deception. If it were possible, the very elect would be deceived (Matthew 24:24).                  



In order to discern this age, the Christian must possess five realities of life.



First, he must be born again. The reason many professing people do not see what is happening in our day is simply that they are not born again. Jesus stated in John 3 that except a man be born again he can neither enter nor see the kingdom of God. The new birth provides spiritual sight for one to see this age.                  



Second, one must believe in the supreme authority of God's Word.                        



Third, one must also have a daily relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the illuminator of God's Word. Although one certainly needs a daily relationship with Christ, it is also imperative that he have that daily relationship with the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Word of God for a spiritual sight of this age.



Fourth, one likewise must be separated from the world. If one is worldly and carnal, he automatically carries a partial blindness toward this age. This partial blindness limits spiritual sight about this age. All Christians must believe in biblical separation from the world. 



Finally, one must have a biblical victory over pride. This lack of victory is a problem for a Christian because he does not want to acknowledge when he is wrong. When one does not see spiritually, he may be afraid to acknowledge it. Nonetheless, he must let pride go when true sight is finally revealed. Just swallow the pride, and thank God, the sight came!

The world is blind to itself. Likewise, often the Christian tends to be blind to himself. When the Bible warns that we "be not deceived " (Luke 21:8), it also tells us. "Let no man deceive you" ( 2 Thessalonians 2:3 ) and to make sure that we do not "deceive ourselves " ( 1 John 1:8) H. T. Spence. From: STRAIGHTWAY PUBLICATION.





Thank-You Brother Michael. Happy New Year to all!

INVITE HIM INTO YOUR HEART


But the fruit of the Spirit is...faithfulness.
{Gal 5:22}



We all are saved by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS CHRIST according to HOLY SCRIPTURE all for the GLORY of GOD.


For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;  not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 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 seek Him. {Eph 2:8-9, Heb 11:6}


"He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  Whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked. {Joh 3:18, 1Jn 2:5-6}


For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. :  But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? :  For we walk by faith, not by sight—  "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. {Gal 5:6: Jas 2:20, 2Co 5:7, Gal 2:20}


And though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,  obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
{1Pe 1:8-9

If you have not truly opened your heart to JESUS by confessing with your mouth that He is the Lord. If you believe deeply that JESUS died on an old rugged cross, was buried in a tomb, and was RAISED back to life by the mighty hand of GOD Himself. If you are in awe that JESUS ascended into heaven and is presently seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for those who believe in Him. If all of this resonates in your very soul, INVITE HIM INTO YOUR HEART! DO IT NOW! Let the start of the year 2020 be the beginning of ETERNAL joy, peace, love, service, adoration. Let 2020 be the year of your BAPTISM by the Holy Spirit and by water. Align yourself with HIS Church, and foster eternal fellowship with your brothers and sisters in CHRIST. It is not the words of your prayers, it is the condition deep inside your heart. Ask JESUS to come in.

THE LAMB OF GOD IN THE TEMPLE


"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
Isa 7:14



Luk 2:22-40  And when the days for their purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord   (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, "EVERY firstborn MALE THAT OPENS THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY TO THE LORD"),  and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord, "A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS."  

And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.  And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.  And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to carry out for Him the custom of the Law,  then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,  "Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace, According to Your word;  For my eyes have seen Your salvation,  Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples,  A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES, And the glory of Your people Israel."  And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him.  And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, "Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed—  and a sword will pierce even your own soul—to the end that thoughts from many hearts may be revealed."  

And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,  and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers.  At that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.  

When they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city of Nazareth.  The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

UNCTION


UNCTION


The Greek word Chrisma' meaning The HOLY Anointing of God on His creation.


Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.   They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.   But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know. {1Jn 2:18-20}


"You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.- For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him.-- For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. {Act 10:38-Col 1:19--Joh 1:16}


You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.-- As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. {Psa 23:5-1Jn 2:27}


"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.-- In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. {Joh 14:26-Rom 8:26}


We are firm and stable in our SALVATION when we recognize the changes God has made in us since we called His name and believed in our hearts that He is the Lord. We look backwards at the fleshly indulgences we once practiced, with no remorse, and see repulsion in the reflection. No longer embracing the former sinful behavior, striving constantly to follow in the foot steps of Jesus the Christ in all our present undertakings. The OLD SELF has died, and born out of our belief in Jesus, we are BORN ANEW. We are no longer the same as we once were. It is this CHANGE, this NEW beginning that marks us FOREVER as belonging to Him.   "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. { Joh 10:29}
